Does anyone understand calorie deficit?

Don't weigh yourself every day. Water/salt intake can cause fluctuations in your weight unrelated to your calorie intake. A weekly weigh-in will reduce your anxiety and frustration.
Stubborn because I’m not listening to you? At least I know squeezer, I don’t know you. LOL
I will do what I want and what I think is right for me. If I fail, I will own that but I won't. I didn't last year - I won't this year.
Seems more like you are stubborn and can't handle when someone doesn't do what you tell them. If you truly didnt care, you wouldn't keep coming back here trying to tell me what to do.
You didn't own it last year and you won't own it this year??
Stop wasting everyone's time then.
I will not weigh myself daily. I may not even do weekly. This is not about a "goal weight". It is about a look and feel. I will never go down to 125lbs. I don't want to be that weight. I don't even care all that much if I stay the weight number that I am. It is not really about the number on the scale.
The only time I will weigh daily is when I take @bodyshot advice for finding the best maintenance calorie intake for my weight at the time. Then from there, maybe a monthly weigh in to ensure I am still maintaining. IF I dont start full weight training for muscle which is probably my next route. So I will have to see at that time.
That was my mistake this summer, besides some things that came up that stopped the self care plan I had, I used a metric for what was suppose to be my ideal calorie intake to maintain my weight and it wasn't what was right for me.

Leave the thread then. No one asked you to be here. You can't say what is a waste of "everyone's time" Just what is a waste of yours and if you feel it is a waste, leave the thread and don't come back. Bye.
Don't feel bad. Many people have tantrums when they fail.Leave the thread then. No one asked you to be here. You can't say what is a waste of "everyone's time" Just what is a waste of yours and if you feel it is a waste, leave the thread and don't come back. Bye.
One thing that people dont bring up enough is that if you eat fewer calories, it also causes you to burn fewer calories. I dont know the actual amount but if I cut 500 calories a day, I take 10% off my BMR.
Ex. Usual BMR is 2000. I cut to 1500. My new BMR is 1800.

You really think, if I’m as stubborn as you think, that this type of lame attempt at an insult is going to work me????
I’m a BBW escort who has been posting on this board for years - making any jab at me or my weight as a way to “win” went out the window a long time ago. LOL. It just doesn’t affect me like that. Unlike you who is truly upset by this. You are a funny nut. That is for sure.
I'm done posting to you now. You can get the last word or the last three if your ego needs it so much.
This is why I asked about deficit in combination with diet and exercise. This exact reason. I didn't want to burn less by not eating enough because I was focused on calorie deficit with food and not properly taking into account calorie burn with exercise.
Thank you.
For some who isn't affected, you sure go out of your way to jab.You really think, if I’m as stubborn as you think, that this type of lame attempt at an insult is going to work me????

BBW meaning an overweight white lady?
I'm taking my upset ass elsewhere to have a good time. Tada.
Lest you consider them high carb food to be avoided, brown rice, red rice,
black rice, oats, quinoa, pearl barley, millet, corn, lentils and other whole grains
should be good for your health. Just eat them in moderation.
I have to admit, I have not tried different rice. When I get into maintenance mode, this is something I would like to change. I want to try brown rice at least. I do like quinoa, oats and corn. But as you said, in moderation
maybe you need to up your fat intake via avocado and cashews? Also soups are great and don’t forget iodized salt for thyroid function. Women especially need this. However this is assuming you’re not eating prepared meals and snacks
Have you tried getting tested for food intolerances? Maybe your weight gain is inflammation? Also are you tracking your monthly cycle and seeing trends for weight fluctuations? And maybe correlating to seasons? And even further out the moon lol I feel like this leads to more complexity for women. I also don’t know how old you are but my friend is in late 30s and is perimenopause. Not sure if that affects weight gain.
Have you tried intermiddent fasting ? Also there’s studies though it works for women during certain times of the month only otherwise it can have opposite effect due to your monthly cycle. I think it was the latest episode of diary of a ceo Had four women in healthcare on the podcast
Not experts, everybody is different and these posts are simply saying what worked for them, you asked.
Is your goal just to lose pounds ? Do you want muscle tone more energy and stamina? Change up your workout to Include weight lifting/resistance training.
Genetics also plays a huge factor. We all have that friend that can eat anything and everything and not put on an ounce.
Invest in yourself. Get a professional trainer to develop a customized workout/diet plan.
Not an expert, but worked for me.

The channel diary of a CEO has many "experts" on health and other things. Taken with a some doubt.
I liked his comment.. Dr. Pradip Jamnadas - short clip

Here is the long version
He was asked by the host which diet works best in the first 20 mins of interview. His response "what result are you looking for?"
I am a believer in Karma and the shape of our body also determines our figure.
All the best with your goal.

Too long to post the whole article, but I've seen it before that calorie counting is no good.
Calorie counting and low-calorie diets for weight loss: An update
Losing weight is tough. And keeping it off in the long run is even tougher.
Millions of people try some kind of weight loss program every year. But most who are successful will regain the weight over the following years.
In fact, people who go through cycles of weight loss and regain, a process sometimes called yo-yo dieting, are likely to weigh more than people who don’t have restrictive eating patterns. This is especially true for women.
A review and meta-analysis examining 80 weight loss clinical trials provides some evidence. The authors compared different methods of dieting, including low-calorie diets.
They found that a diet focused on drastically reducing caloric intake initially produces dramatic weight loss. But people's weight steadily rises back.
And at the 3-year mark, most people — around 80% — are rapidly approaching their starting weight.
Prof. Tim Spector told us that “In real life, these figures are likely to be much worse without the backup of all the resources and psychological support of a clinical trial.”
Interestingly, the scientists also found that people who tried to lose weight using only exercise lost the least from any group. They also put the weight back on the quickest.
But today, we’re focusing on calorie counting and why it doesn’t work.
