What would be considered thin for a 5'8" 19 year old female?
I weigh about 119lbs now and I do strength training exercises as well so I don’t look too skinny fat but I don’t really look all that thin. What am I doing wrong? Could it be diet? I am vegetarian almost vegan(I don't really have milk or eggs most days) maybe my protein is low idk.

Intermittent Fasting (IF)

I do/did fasting 2x a week for 16 hours and I lost 10 lbs within 8 months. It takes a lot of mental discipline to fast for 16 hours, but it…

Adjusting to feeling less full and mental tricks
I have a few issues which are really preventing weight loss for me: 1. When I start trying to cut back the total calories I eat - even though I do eat filling, fiber-rich whole foods mostly - I feel a little less full.

I’ve ensured I’m drinking at…
