Ham wasting my time. Sorry for this rant. So I make a living teaching people how to count calories and lose weight.  I make them log everything on MFP and check their food diary every morning to see if they're counting ok, make corrections, etc.  So this 27 year old woman is 290 lbs at 5'3".  came to me last year.. she did ok for a month, lost like 3 kilos and never heard of her again.,,, so in March this year she approached me and told me she needed my help again.... I offer her to consult on her for free until she reaches her goal weight, only condition is for her to log everyday what she's eating ( I often do this with deathfats.. if they lose weight it's great advertising for me).  Now her TDEE is 2500 calories and I put her on a 1400 calorie limit. On top of that, she always stays under 1200 calories to lose weight faster.. she's even exercising at this point.  She should be losing 8 to 10 lbs a month. April comes, I weigh her, hasn't lost a pound in a whole month.. I think maybe she's retaining water. Then May comes, another month of logging her calories right, still 290 lb.  At this point I'm  starting to get suspicious.  Another month goes by, she came in yesterday to weigh herself.... still fucking 290 pounds.    She's fucking lying... she's stuffing her mouth and not logging everything... she failed again and instead of telling me, she's been lying to me  and wasting my time.  I told her yesterday that it was impossible to eat at a deficit and not lose weight.  Water retention doesn't account for the 30 pounds she should have lost at this point.  She insists she logs everything.  Now I don't know what to do whit her... should I waste another month whit her or should I just flat out tell her that she's lying and that I can no longer help her?? Seriously, of the 350 or so people I have consulted since I started, this is the first time this has happened... no speshul snowflake that defies the laws of physics... just a flat out failure of a human being that lies all the time.
