Thank you everyone, that makes so much more sense. I was definitely doing it wrong.

Ive never had thigh gap even at my smallest. And i think you can only get thigh gap if you are built that way. I dont like when my thighs rub together when im wearing a skirt/dress and its super hot lmao. other than that I dont mind it. And i dont try to achieve it.

Thankz everyone

I did that. Went from 1740 to 1200 and i eat back a small portion of what i burn from working out. Still looking for exercises that target that trouble area.

Yea i was wondering what special powers grapefruit had as well lol

What reasons wud i want to stop losing weight. Still new with my weight loss journey so not sure. A plateau maybe?

Congratulations on ur weight loss. I personally havent eaten back my calories because im afraid i might eat back too much. So i dont risk it. I just didnt know if that was something (if u can accuratley accnt for it) i cud do.

So i finally decided to look at the whole diet. The combo of foods does sound ridiculous. I dont quite get the science behind it either tbh. But i did read in the end it has to do with calories.

No prob :) i love the forums cuz i get the opportunity to ask questions i might b embarrassed to ask my real life friends or fam

To b honest i dont know the scientific answer. I just know over the years i have been told or heard people saying i need to lose water weight to help with bloating. I was told women especially hold excess water. I dont know the science behind it though.

Speaking of water weight.... i saw on vitamnshoppes website about water pills.the ones i saw specifically were to b used for 10days. R there other ways to lose water weight other than extreme diets or water pills.

So, how many calories do u eat on ur off days? Right now im doing btwn 1200-1500 exercising an hour 6 days a week. And on avg i am seeing about 2-3 lbs a week. And while i am overweight i am not obese. So idk if going on this diet wud do anything different for me.

Lol... next time ill check my spelling. Typing harder on phone. But the convos over the typo are priceless lol

Yasss. Avocados r sooo tasty. I read a blog here. They call it a healthy fat. Avocados/guac taste great with everything in my opinion lol

Thanks everyone. I have a much better understanding

Lol. I wish weight loss was as easy as farting a bunch. Sorry for the typo.

Yes. I do hiit everyday. I love how much it kicks my butt lol. My base use to b 1740. But i put i wanted to lose 2lbs a week and it dropped me to 1200.

Here is an example. One day i burned 550 calories. So it looked like this 1200(total) -440(what i had eaten)+550(burned)= 1310 more calories i cud eat. Which was more than i had to start with

Yea i definitely dont wanna b hungry all the time. And i am trying to eat clean. And while 10lbs in 3days sound amazing. I dont wanna sabotage my routine i got going now.

No i havent googled it. It was brought up in passing in a grp discussion with friends and fam.

Lol hot dogs and icecream. Sounds too good to b true

Yea idk why they call is military diet. And i dont know anything about. Or if its healthy. I just know its been brought up to me since my fam and friends know im on a weight loss journey and thought id get input from here

And thanks for the link. I need to become more familiar with those terms.

I do exercise vids at home. And the vid gives a calorie burning range from low imapct to high impact. Its a rough est. But usually round down. So far i havent been eating my calories back. I try to stay with my original number.

Ive also been eating turkey burgers with avocado and no bun. I waa surprised how filling it was

Ive been staying away from white breads. I love mexican salads. They have canned salmon or tuna. With tomato cilantro onion a little lime. So tasty and filling. I like to add hotsauce to mine. I also like egg whites with fruit yogurt and oatmeal. I always feel so full after these meals. What kind of meals do u eat?

Thank you. I didnt know the deficit was accounted for.

Congrats :) it only gets better from here

Gonna add u

I wish you will power. I had a baby 4 yrs ago. And it was lack of will power that stopped me. I know exactly what u mean. And i guess its just a mindset u have to have. I started my journey 5wks ago and i hope that you enjoy the results of yours.
