Entering this to remind myself that weight fluctations happen defying a caloric deficit. Stay the course and move on.

Edit May 1, 2013
Here is why I agree the scale lies and the calorie calculation to lose weight fails.

If I try to rely on 'math' to solve this weight loss, I'll be lost. Dazed and confused. For my 'activity' I generally record 'sleeping 24 hours a day'. And that is calculated as energy use of 1950 (cals) daily by FS for my weight and lifestyle.

Now, if I give my activity a more realistic picture of average as I did on April 30th - standing x hours, walking x hours as I do errands, sitting, resting (which I guess burns more than out & out sleeping, huh) then I actually calculate out to 2800 cals a day. Nearly 1000 more.

So based on that - as I do record my food exactly - I should have had a 43k deficit for a 12lb loss in April; I barely eeked by with 6lbs.

Now, I'm happy to have the six pound loss but if I were starving or working out harder (and I didn't even calculate in my random treadmill, shopping, driving, walking to businesses close by, working in the garden activity) then I'd be really frustrated that I only lost 6 instead of 12.

Sooooo.... other than my fancy math ... am working through this to justify why for the first two weeks in May I am going to test consuming 2000 cals a day, still healthy of course, to see if 'more food in requires more energy to process' or if my body will just convert it to extra weight.

I liken this to the Frank Sinatra quote 'I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day."

So.. to quote another great .. Jackie Gleason.. 'and awaaaaay we go!'

Thanks Angel - I edited this to give more explanation if for no other reason than myself when I freak out thinking I may be starving. Lab rats of the world, Unite!

The FS exercise calculators are the one thing that I just really don't like on this site.. They give such a false sense of security for the number of calories burned if you actually enter every single daily activity!! Oh well, we figure it out eventually... Love the Sinatra quote!

Well, sure... I mean... it was reassuring to determine that 'boating & canoing' calculates the same as 'sailing' and that 'badminton' uses more energy than canoing but ... geez, I have NO life! I'm envious of folks who have the need to update their activity with 'sailing'. Where's MY Sailboat!!!

It's nice to see I'm not the only one who doesn't think the calories expended doesn't make any sense. If I went off of what FS says I expend in a day I should be loosing like 3 pounds a week. I've been going to http://nutritiondata.self.com/tools/calories-burned to figure out my calories burned through exercise and the rest I just take with a grain of salt. I does make it hard to figure out if I'm burning enough calories though.
