When did the scale finally budge??

That wasn't a plateau, that was just eating too much.

Everyone loses weight in a calorie deficit, if it's not happening, the deficit isn't real.

Sounds like actual tracking wasn't happening, just a guess at what felt like a deficit.

Simple fix: grab an app like LoseIt, set it to drop a kilo weekly, and log food accurately, actually measuring things. If the scale still won't move doing that, the app's being fed bad information.

Saying this regardless of downvotes, because doing this properly adds real years to life and life to those years.

Wow, that calculator lines up almost perfectly with the actual rmr test result. Could've saved a chunk of cash skipping that test lol. Still baffled why the scale won't budge though, especially since intake stays under that number even without any exercise. Might try trimming another 100 calories and see if that shifts anything.

Four weeks into a quarter milligram now, lifting three times weekly and keeping protein around half my intake, sometimes more. Only down a small amount so far, but my husband's noticed less bloating and some visible inch loss. Face has slimmed too, jawline's starting to show through.
