Do u measure ur food ? U might a scale to be more accurate, do u count even the little taste of food u eat. Do u count liquid calories like orange juice etc. If ur clothing is looser that in my opinion matters most than of the scale goes up one pound

I do measure everything and I got a scale as well. In fact I put everything that I eat on there including orange juice, coffee and etc. The only exercise I do now is sit ups and I walk on my off days.

I started off at the RDI recommended by fatsecret, and then when I didn't lose, I cut down by about 300 calories a day for a couple of weeks. Maybe try cutting out some calories consistently and get on a steady intake so that you can see what might be stopping you from losing.

Great to know you are cognisant of your health. Reading through your entry here, I think perhaps cereal may not be the best thing to eat. I agree with the statement to attempt to eat something small and minor during the end of the 3rd shift or so....but first look into a non-processed food as an healthier alternative, or perhaps a small pouch of tuna as a suggestion. Quick, easy, and fairly lite on the stomach. Doesn't have to be big, just something to satiate and get you through the night...But it also has to be something that can be burnt off or expelled relatively quickly so it doesn't slow the metabolism. Just a suggestion, not written in stone or anything, but I have found it works on me at least. Not saying it does for everyone however. May have to experiment ever so slightly. :)

You’re noticing the inches coming off. That’s more accurate than a scale. I’d give it a week just to see if it’s your body trying to adjust to it as long as you’re doing this within your calories.

What abbadabba said, maybe ur calorie deficit is lower than what u think 🤔

Goal weight times 11/12/13 could be a good calorie deficit. But I’m no expert with those numbers

That’s just what I have read 😉

If it’s 1 pound it’s probably water weight, undigested food, or poop, or a combination of those. You’re ok

I always switch between x12 n x13

Also stress, too low a deficit, too much exercise, eating higher carb/calories after not for a while, sweating more, drinking less fluids etc. and so fourth, also can contribute to water weight among other things that contribute to “weight” gain/maintenance related issues in the body which can “hide” or hinder weight loss to any degree, even if you’re continuously losing it may not appear that way, so that’s something else to keep in mind.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I did notice that my ankles was swollen yesterday. It could be water weight at least I hope so. Also I have to be honest I have no idea what calorie deficit is but will be doing my research tonight. I have learned something new about losing weight. You all are so wonderful thanks a lot.

It’s only 1lb, could defo be water weight
Keep going and it’ll come off again.. I used to get frustrated by my weight going up and down, now if it fluctuates, I record on Monday’s and Fridays, so I can see the downward trend.
Keep going and you’ll do it!

Thanks Draglist... I decided not to eat anything before I lay down.

I also work at night, I do the 12hrs, I also use to eat before bed and didn't loose a pound, I now have something small at about 5 or 6 am, like pork rinds, little tuna or a protein shake, nothing else before laying down, sleep about 10am.
16 Apr 18 by member: possible?

I did a LaLa yogurt smoothie yesterday morning when I got off work. When I woke up I was starving. I think the protein shakes may work. I think that I will try them next.
