I'm 5'2" on the dot, 101lbs average daily, about 14-15% bodyfat. 1200 is a very important number for me... xD; My TDEE is only just over 1400. Honestly, I do still track what I eat, just very loosely. No weighing - my guesstimating is pretty spot on. So far, I've maintained my weight for a year. I do change my guesstimates…

Everyone is different. When I was obese (~200lbs), it took about 30lbs for anyone to see a difference. At my current weight (100-103lbs, I'm 5'2"), it takes 5lbs during my period for a coworker to tell me my face is looking fat. Lovely. Earlier on, the biggest obvious set was my gut. I had a huuuuge stomach, we think I may…

There is usually some form of grilled chicken on every place with a menu... May not come with the healthiest stuff, but at least there is a non deep-fried option 95% of the time. There is a start. I'll sub out the sides for veggies (steamed brocco, hell yes), ask for whatever is on the chicken to come on the side (never…

You'd need to let us know your weight, too. It is taken into account for all of that. An obese person my height (was me) and my current weight have very different amounts they need to consume.

That's what you gotta do. So many people have a bad day and then just throw up their arms - NOPE. Just pick yourself up by your bootstraps! There are still things you can do. Still that day? Exercise a bit, reduce that surplus! Can't tell you how many times I'd go out with friends, when BAM. Surprise cheesecake. I can't…

"I do moderate to intense cardio (elliptical, biking and/or swimming) for at least an hour at least 6 days a week, and I eat around 2500 calories and usually have a supposed calorie deficit of around 500 calories. I've been doing this for years, so I think if I were going to lose weight, I would've by now. I gained weight…

If this was you a few years ago, why are you asking us to comment on her body? You can lose weight while still trying to upkeep your muscles. Up your protein, use the weight machines. Calves; Girl, I'm 103lbs now and my calves are almost as wide as that. Every body is different. My legs are my powerhouse. Shape; I have no…

Are you able to drink weight gainer? It is high in calories. Also has protein and stuff, so you'll also be getting that. Maybe switch out one of your regular protein shakes for a serving of weight gainer? Check with your doctor first, as I'm not sure what your dietary needs are. Keep in mind, in the link I posted above,…

I tend to go for the cheapest possible, that still have a good protein-to-calorie ratio. I don't care much what flavor, but prefer to go for vanilla or unflavored in case I wanna add one of the coffee mio things, etc. I've put up with some semi-nasty tasting protein powders due to the great ratio.

Hiii! Been maintaining for a year and a half, but yep! 5'2", started at just over 200lbs (getting close to morbidly obese at my height). Been at 103lbs now for a while. I don't know what my actual high weight was, that was my hospital-logged weight after not being able to hold anything down for a week (including water, to…

It seems to be Vape stuff. EDIT: Op, you put the wrong website. It is TheBigBottleCo.Com that you are talking about.

Could be retaining water since you've upped your workouts. Keep going, weigh yourself regularly. Track the pattern. Come back in about a month if you are still having issues and it doesn't change. Weightloss and fitness aren't linear. Many factors affect weight. I used to maintain for a full month before I would just…

Did squat for me. 5'2" on the dot, started at just over 200lbs. Lost 100lbs, current average is 103lbs. I do believe extra skin depends on the person. Age, rate of loss, plus amount of loss, combined with how they went about it (skinny-fat is a real issue, you lose muscle mass as you lose weight). As I worked out to lower…

Machines also way overestimate calories burned.

My measurements, and how I actually look. I hit my goal weight (100lbs down) long before I actually began to do anything workout-related, so it's actually been fairly easy for me to keep an eye on how I'm actually doing on gaining muscle vs fat again. My arms look toned & fab af.

Buffalo, ranch... You can get dry seasonings for those.

Anything you don't normally buy for veg/fruits. Go experiment! Google them as you look to see their stats (beware of persimmons), but try some new stuff.

If a large, very large amount of weight? Yes. Less fat padding around that area taking up space, pushing out the skin. If like,10-15lbs? Probably not. All depends on the guy, their build (height/weight, how much fat), and how the fat sits on them.

Maybe tell them if they are going to be negative, please keep it in their head? Or that if it was a compliment, please keep it a positive one (not a neg), because otherwise they are demotivating you. It is honest in saying that you don't like those types of comments, but you can see where they are coming from and that it…

You are expected to at least eat back some of your exercise calories. Example... Say I'm eating 1600 calories to maintain my weight (I'm petite af now and am 5'2"). I eat my 1600 calories to maintain, and had a regular day for my activity level, so should be good. But, I decide to hit the gym a bit after dinner because why…

May I confirm that you've actually weighed the product you will be inputting? If you use a full 'portion', and it says 100g, make sure it is actually 100g with a scale. Lots of packages can be under or over (more likely over, from what I've found).

To the people who is saying it is a compliment: Please never say these things to people intending it as a compliment. Just actually compliment them. If you were going to respond saying that you wouldn't say this to people... Exactly.

This kind've applies all over the spectrum, not just at the gym. My old workplace was both my highest weight (nearing morbidly obese, just under) and my lowest weight. A difference of roughly 115lbs. The difference is more than I currently weigh (and I've put back on 10lbs the last two months, ffff). Got comments at old…

I did tattoos per pounds of loss. 25lbs? First tattoo! Small tat on chest. 50lbs? Second tattoo! Full-color tat on my hip. 75lbs? Third tattoo! Wings on upper back! 100lbs? Nothing because I got lazy. Maintaining for a year? Pure laziness still. I want to keep them out of sight for work clothes, too, so gotta plan well.…

I have soooo many at work since Kroger/King Soopers had the Buy 6 sale that included them... Yaasss. I use about half a packet per bottle of water. I DRINK SO MUCH WATER NOW.

Straight up carrots. I go through the 5lb bags like it is nobody's business. /drooooool Maybe add in a low cal vinaigrette to dip your veggies in? If I just want a light coat, I'll actually cut my low cal ones with water to make it thinner and stretch out the calories more. I have a low cal 'lite' raspberry vinaigrette…

Instead of coffee, I'll occasionally take a caffeine pill in the morning (I get busy af and my coffee would go cold otherwise). Same feeling of suppressed appetite. Not many calories. To be fair, I drink my coffee black. No sugar/creamer/milk. So... I save a lot on calories either way.

... Basically, just keep an eye on the nutritional data of what you bought and are using versus the entries in the database. Many are good, but many are also not quite right (especially many user-made ones).

See what you are eating. What is calorie dense, and why? Is there anything healthier you can substitute out to have a higher volume of food? Switch a lettuce wrap/bun, switch out the potatoes for veg (or go half-half), use spray instead of oil, etc. Not hating on the carbs, but we all know they tend to be calorie-dense.…

Hiya! Remember to try and measure foods/liquids with grams rather than cups, tablespoons, etc. It is more accurate. If you don't have a scale, I recommend getting one. The serving size listed on packages tends to be off. The small stuff can get ya!
