Eh, I skipped my period this month and I'm a precious virgin. NO chance of being pregnant here... Starting an extreme workout can cause your body to go 'let's put the babies on hold for now'. Are you working out more than usual? Stress can also make your body decide that babies might not be so important right now.

I'm losing faith in CICO. See, there's no actual studies to back up the commonly quoted "3500 calories = 1 pound of fat". Here, have a bunch of study results for low-fat versus low-carb diets. http://www.lifetime-weightloss.com/storage/Low-Carb%20vs%20Low-Fat%20Study%20Comparisons.pdf I don't believe in it because it's…

Lies. I eat nothing but bacon.

Sounds like your weight loss is perfectly sensible for your current size. And ignore the person who says you're not eating enough. If you're short and older, it's probably fine. There's no such thing as 'starvation mode' and you won't start losing more by eating more. If you're not feeling starving and cranky and…

Dang, you really don't look like the same person, that's incredible. o_o

Sure it will. You'd build muscle even just doing squats with your own bodyweight, and eating enough protein. No one generally just hops out there and starts squatting 160 pounds. Especially not us ladies. I'm no weakling, and I can only squat 90 at the moment... half of what I can deadlift. D:

You have never been fat, and have absolutely no right to make the statement that it's better or worse than anything. It's different. When you're fat people pretend you're not even there. You have no idea how invisible you become when you're huge. Don't even TRY to say you know what it's like. I can never say what it's like…

o.o Keep in mind that some of that's going to be water weight, of course... so stay strong through your cruise. Earn back some of your 'fun' calories with exercise and you should make it through relatively unscathed! :D

Not so triumphant, but I started out at around 255 (I didn't have a scale at that point), and I'm now down to 228... almost 30 pounds down since December! So, a little over 2 months there. I lost that weight like so. -Low carb, high protein, high fat. So basically my diet looks like this: BACON FOREVER, eggs,…

Try adjusting your macros. I'm starving if most of my calories come from carbs or calorie-dense food, and on the flip side, when most of my calories are coming from meat, eggs, and veggies... I'm sometimes not hungry enough to make it higher than a pretty ridiculously low number that most of you guys would consider…

I wish there was a like button here. @BFDeal Eat less calorie-dense of foods. Of course you shouldn't be miserable. But yesterday, when I finished putting in my calories, I realized I accidentally only ate 450 calories and was perfectly full. Turns out broccoli has very few calories, heh, oops. So, y'know, find some low…

I also need friends!

What was the person who said "eating more is not the answer." Eating more is not the answer. If things like 'starvation mode' were real, all those starving children in Africa wouldn't be flesh and bones. There is no such thing as starvation mode. You are eating more than you think you are. Or your body is retaining water…

You have room to lie down and room to rest against a wall? Great! Planks, pushups, squats, wall-sits, hip lifts. Get a bunch of body-weight static holds. These buggers, like planks, HURT... and you don't make noise or need a lot of room. And stuff like squats, you can do them with your own body weight in a small area. Want…

Mmmm indian food. I'm planning on making butter, uh, beef tonight. Minus the butter... will be using coconut oil instead, I think. And minus the naan. And the rice. I loooooove Indian food, but paleo for now.

Not having a lot of protein one day won't hurt you... man, just enjoy your veggie pizza, or veggie chili, or vegetarian whatever, and eat a bit of extra protein the next day to make up for it. Feast upon beans and tofu. But really... the point of Lent is creating that deficiency. Fasting so you're a bit more empty. Isn't…

Mine says 135... uhhh... yeah, I've just finished losing like 25 pounds, and I'm still 229. D:

Also having this problem and thought I was going mad.

You thought you wouldn't lose?! Dude, if that was the case then say, children in poverty wouldn't get skinny. The less calories you eat, the more you will lose. There is no 'starvation mode' where you suddenly stop losing, or worse, start GAINING because you're not eating... the calorie goal is to ensure that you're losing…

I have also noticed that when I don't eat wheat/gluten my asthma is better. I'm doing a lot better at avoiding it, but wow, I don't have the commitment to go full wheat-free yet. Not quite. :( Grats on your achievement!
