Unusual circumstance led to dramatic weight loss
So... Long story short, I discovered I had a massive abdominal tumor in the fall. I am a tall, fit woman, who is super lean, and I noticed my stomach has been getting thicker over the past few years, which I chalked up to gaining abdominal muscle. At the end of December, I had it (and, sadly, my left kidney) removed, which led to a 10 pound weight loss, literally overnight. Macrofactor doesn't love this weight jump, and it predicting my expenditure is also much higher than it is, because, it was super high last year because of the tumor being made of smooth muscle and quite metabolically active. Now, I'm eating more like 2000-2400 calories instead of the 3000+ calories I used to eat and feeling great and not hungry. Anyway, I trust MF will come around and eventually believe that my weight actually is 10 pounds lighter, and also will adjust my expenditure in due time. I just thought I'd share this, as it kind of funny (especially being that the tumor was benign and I just have to face the world one kidney short) and a unique situation that they probably didn't write into their programming!
