[quote=Anonymous]what are you basing "weight gain" on? and how consistently and accurately are you REALLY tracking calories?

I ask this because for YEARS, seriously YEARS,  i said the same things "I CAN'T lose unless I eat 1200 calories" I gain if I eat above 1400 calories. truth was, i was never really being consistent. I would track and eat low calorie a few days a week then give up or be less accurate over the weekend. I also made the mistake of only weighting myself once a week and thinking I gained weight because the number on the scale was up a pound. in reality this weight i thought I gained in a week on a low calorie diet was just some bloat because weight fluctuates every single day.

So what changed for me. hired a trainer who put me on a 1500-1600 calorie diet. Tracked calories very accurately and consistently (weight, measure and account for EVERYTHING I was eating 7 days a week). I also started to weigh myself daily and tracked this to see if over the course of the MONTH, my weight was going down. Weight fluctuated every single day for all sorts of reasons so day to day weights don't make much sense, until you look at the data over a longer period and watch the trend line. If you are 100% accurate in tracking for an entire month and maintain on a 1200 calorie/day then i would be very, very surprised if you don't lose a significant amt of weight. Honestly I think you can probably lose just fine closer to 1400.[/quote]
