He said that because all my family/relatives are "big" then it makes no sense trying to be otherwise because I will only end up putting it back on. I guess his one of those who believes being fat is genetic

Oh okay. Because I can remember he did say I look like a totally different person. I mean I know I look different but people can still see it's me and he didn't have to be so harsh saying it.

This guy isn't in any way related to me. I know him but not like friends or anything. He lives opposite our gym.

Thanks much but still can't wrapped my head around why people think I'm too skinny

I just recently started IF last week. I had problems with staying withing my calorie range and someone here suggested it to me. I decided to start with 16:8 and I must say it works FABULOUS. I was scared that I would feel hungry before lunch but nope. I would wake up, work out for about 30 minutes and then head to work. I…

I know how important sleep and hydration is because when my husband traveled I made sure that I got at least my 8 hours and my body felt sooooo good. But since his being back that has changed and enrolling my daughter in kindergarten is another again. So I think that this is one that I definitely need to work on. The…

Ok I think I know where I'm going wrong. Someone who has been using MFP before me (I'm kinda new to this) said that I shouldn't eat my exercise calories back if I'm trying to create a deficit. Do I have this right because when I mean I overeat I mean I eat whats left from my recommended intake plus exercise calories burnt…

Ok The big glass of water sounds pretty good to me. Maybe it could be thirst and not hunger. I'll try this today and report to u guys tomorrow as to how it goes. Thanks so much guys for all the feedback. I will make sure to do some of what was recommended here to see how it works. Once again thanks much. <3

I measure breakfast (97% of the time) I measure Lunch (97% of the time) my point is I don't measure ALL the time but yes I do measure breakfast and lunch my problem is dinner. Ok here's the scenario: I would have a cup of almond milk and 1/2 cup of dry oats for breakfast Total: 210 calories (8-9 am) Lunch: 1/2 sweet potato…

My ultimate goal was to reach 150 lbs. but when I arrived at 160 I saw that I had liked my body at that weight(with all my curves) so I decided to keep 160 my maintenance weight. I begun body beast some time last month to gain some nice muscles and that's when I moved from 160 to 168. I really don't know if it's muscle or…

Honestly yes and no. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't because of time; but I have changed my fitness profile and it did up my calories. So let's see how this goes.

I do eat exercise calories back sometimes some sometimes all but I'm still gaining weight I went from 162 lbs-168 lbs in a month. I have lost 37 lbs so far and would love to be at 158...I was so close :\

My Blender

Surprising yes I did choose sedimentary and most of the times at dinner yes i would eat back exercise calories. That's my problem (dinner time). Should I change it but then that to ALOT more right?

I do body beast on morings before work and teach gym classes on evenings. My gym class schedule: Monday- Step aerobics Tuesday- Circuit training/Dance Wednesday- Upper body weight training Thursday-Leg day We don't have gym classes on Friday-Sunday but I do work out at home on Sundays.

I have researched intermittent fasting. I know I can do it if I want to but I've also read that not eating breakfast can lower one's metabolism. How healthy is IF; I already don't eat a large breakfast. See my above post for my typical breakfast. Would you say that it's small enough or not eating anything at all.

White Bread

See the thing is I do eat less during the day. My typical breakfast would be 1/2 cup of oats and 1 cup of almond milk or smoothie made of almond milk, banana,flax seeds,greek yogurt and p. butter; Lunch would be 1/2 a sweet potato with skin and either chicken or fish. I drink 3 liters of water a day and i'm quite full but…
