Okay this is very frustrating because I have maintained a calorie deficit for the past three weeks and only lost a total of two pounds in the during the first week and nothing else since.

Do your weigh or measure your ice cream?
Okay so my ice cream says 120 calories for a half a cup. I usually measured out a half a cup but now I have a scale so I measure it on there. Oddly enough, 125 ml of ice cream is a lot more when I weigh it on the scale then when I measure a half a cup. what should I rely on more? The measuring cup or the scale?

I feel like society associates the word diet with weight loss pills, quick-fix diets, yo-yo diets, low carb or low fat diets, I could…

The elliptical doesn't do anything?
Everytime I tell someone about my workout routine that involves an hour on the elliptical and a half an hour of weights, why is it that they always say ' oh I heard the elliptical doesn't do anything to your body' or something along those lines.

Should I eat back ALL my exercise calories?
Everyone here seems to think that you should eat them all back to your calorie deflect. But a lot of MFP's also say that the calories you burn on machines a very inaccurate, and I could be burning a lot less then I think.
