Oh, there's many a petty reason why I'd like to become thin and lean. :D One is both petty and practical - I've so many nice pieces of clothing I do not fit into. I think it would be extremely fiscally irresponsible to just buy more and more. I've done this in the past and now I'm stuck with four different sizes of every…

I like my brain, sometimes. A sense of humour, intellectual curiosity. The fact that I get up and do it all over again no matter how many times life *kitten* everything up (or I do). Out of physical attributes what I like the most is my face, youthful looks, and legs. :)

Hi there! I'm at the end of the third week, month one. I'm not following their diet (way too expensive for my part of Europe) but I've my own plan. I'm not depriving myself. If I want a small slice of pizza I have it. Same goes for occasional ice cream, crisps, chocolate...but all in moderation. My 'diet' is pretty healthy…

Funny how your thread's title blatantly says you don't know what to do when clearly, you do. You've given up, for now. Have you read the various suggestions we all gave you? :)

I understood his post as if he'd want those 15 hours, not that he has them. If he 'barely has an hour' in the evening for himself, that's hardly 15 hours a week? Don't know about you, but an hour per day is barely to prepare and do my yoga and then shower. I also gathered that he barely spends time with his wife because of…

That's very common with people who suffer depression. They are trapped in a neverending victim-cycle and don't know how to get out of it. It's good that the OP is here and is seeking for advice, he's been given many good tips already! OP, I see you live in the UK. Aldi, Lidl and maybe even Tesco have sports equipment very…

Firstly, I want to tell you how sorry I am that you feel so helpless. I really felt the sadness reading your words. Been there, know how it feels. Is there an option that you cook half of the stuff and your wife cooks the other half? I am sure she has obligations of her own, but I am positive she'd be the first to want…

It really depends. Generally, my 'rest day' is Sunday because I am doing Insanity at the moment. But if do yoga on my rest day, and I walk/cycle every day, regardless of the exercise I did. If I am very busy and/or extremely tired, it might happen that I skip exercise altogether but it's not something that I plan, it just…

An 80g chocolate doughnut. I was shocked when I realised it has 475 calories! I thought it was around 200. HAHA. Somehow I forgot about all the Nutella in it, I guess.

Oh, I am strong, don't worry. :D I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and I told him about my goals and how I want to be 'fit, lean, and strong' and he replied 'you're already strong, fit and lean you shall be'. :D It's true, I am quite strong already, I don't necessarily like it, but that is the matter of things (I…

'Woo' is a slang for 'not proven scientifically'. Like juice cleanses and detox in general, for instance. ashliedelgado I doubt that a GP, a neurologist, an orthopaedic surgeon, and an ENT specialist would all agree on something that is potentially harmful to me. They all told me the same thing, 1kg is OK, anything more…

Thanks for the input, Anne. And congrats on your success and your medals! I don't think 17kg is 'not a lot'. It might seem to be little to people that have much more to lose, but to me (and the majority of people who have never been even close to obese), it is. I don't fit in 90% of my wardrobe. I am not rich, I am not…

I took pictures 10 days ago when I started. I will take some today again. I've done Insanity twice before, too. But never finished it. I only did the first month combined with other stuff like running and stretching. I always saw the results right after two weeks, this time it's different.

I know, I know, it's not my first rodeo. I am just more determined and serious this time. There's an event in July that I really want to be fit for so I am giving my best. Of course, I am going to keep working out and maintaining my fitness once I get the desired result because I want this to be a permanent change. I am…

lemurcat I love your avatar! <3 I've always loved cottage cheese! It's my go-to source of protein, other than meat.

I'm short - 160. And I weigh 67 kg. I look my best when at 50 kg because I am not proportionally built. I am of apple build and have very large breasts/arms and wide shoulders. I also have a big belly going on at the moment. I advised my physicians (due to several diagnoses I have several specialists) and a family member…

Yes, I know, but I figured I should have lost at least two kg by now because it's been almost five weeks, so the scale would maybe show 65 and a half, not 67 and a half.

It's not necessarily about covering the taste but about the combination of tastes. I don't like sweetened black coffee, but latte with sugar? Yum. Has anyone successfully cut back on the coffee consumption? I am trying, but it is difficult. I scaled back with the sugar, I only use cca 3 tablespoons altogether now (usually…

OK, thanks! So, basically, MFP already takes into account your daily goal and you can eat back the calories. Why is it then that if I don't eat them back (there have been days where I didn't have time to eat and I was too tired so I was in deficit ~600 calories) it notified me I didn't eat enough - same happened when I was…

The first one that Google suggested. :D If you have a really good one to recommend, I am all ears. I also used this one https://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator/

17 kg. I didn't. It doesn't offer me that option, and I can't the drop-down menu looks like this. https://ibb.co/e71c5d I don't have an option for the separation of daily activity and exercise or goals. I know, I was doing it for several items only (usually milk and sugary crap when I eat it). Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, I found some really odd values several times already and corrected them. Thanks for the advice. :)

Nothing does the job. Nothing. I refuse to spend crazy amounts of money on something that won't keep them still and tight. I watch those women in Insanity videos with envy. Nothing moves for them. :( There's nothing TO move. And I hate it when my breastless friends complain about having no boobs. For them, it's just an…

Ugh, the other day I was going through my closet and counted 11 pairs of trousers that don't fit me. No more, no less. I wear the same three pairs. :( I am definitely in! :D

120 grams of stovetop made popcorn have 600 calories. :D I was shocked too and checked multiple sources, it is true. :( I don't have a machine so can't air-pop them, this is my only alternative.

Their hearts are not in the 'right place', they are being rude and insulting. I know you don't want to, but you might want to suggest to them that losing a few would not hurt them next time they start telling you how 'skinny' you are.

I have to hold my breasts while doing certain excercise because they are big, they bounce, and it hurts. :( (not always, just during PMS which is now)

I feel your frustration. I don't have an issue with calves, but I do have an issue with wide shoulders and big breasts. Most shirts with buttons are a no-go for me. They just don't fit. I need to be underweight to fit most of the store-bought shirts which I don't want! A lot of the dresses and summer shirts that are…

OK, I somehow overlooked that, thanks, guys! I chose 1 kg per week.

This is a bit confusing. I am also 5'4'' and at 147lbs MFP gives me 1200 calories a day. I eat back some of the calories from exercise, not all.
