Yeah, I could say I eat pretty healthy. I don't eat out very often as i love my own cooking and eat pretty much of everything...i love all kinds of food, and i'm a veggies and fruits addict haha! I don't log on mfp though, i use my own personal little notebook. It,s much easier for me. The only downside is that i dont…

woah I always thought it would be a lot stricter than that...how active are you though? I mean, your range is what *I* can have to maintain and at 1800 it's still pretty damn on the edge i think (i feel bloated the next day), so i can't imagine if i was at a lower weight and eating more, pretty sure I'd gain...but i guess…

5'1 and somewhere around 101-102-103 (???? haven't weighed myself in a long time because of stress issues, i'm on maintenance anyway. i haven't noticed much of a change in the mirror so i'm not worrying though.) I'm pretty damn muscular everywhere (the only thing i don't have is a 6 pack of particularly defined abs, but…

I used to never ever snack or have dessert after dinner and that was working well for me (didn't feel any particularly strong craving for it), but my mom has the biggest sweet tooth EVER and never stops buying new ice cream pots or cakes or very indulgent desserts everyday/every week...and eats a lot of it all the time. At…

I'm 5'1 and at maintenance, and usually aim for 1600-1700 cals daily. My calorie intake andd dispersion pretty much changes every single day (depending on what i'm cooking that day, what's left in the paantry and fridge, if im going out or exercising etc) but as a gross estimate it looks like Breakfast (around 9) : 500-600…

I believe i was in the 1300-1400-1500 (rare though) ranges, trying to up it up a notch every week. I'm 5'1 so 1650-1800ish are my maintenance ranges i believe so it wasn't actual *severe* undereating either...just stress from daily life ON TOP of a calorie deficit of any kind. But I beliee OP really might be ndereating,…

Happened to me as well back in june...I was exercising 5-6 days a week since a few weeks only and just starting to transiton into maintenance so i was still a bit low on the calories. Also i was going through my finals, meaning lots of emotional stress. I was losing a BUNCH of hair all the time, i thought i was falling…

I used to be afraid of eating after my workouts, both because i was very hungry before them (i didn't lunch much back then so by 4-5 pm i'd dine, i was ravenous. workouts/classes were around 6) and also because i had a digestive problem of some sort, and eating late at night didn't feel comfortable at all. But to be honest…

Mayo with sriracha, garlic, lime juice, a tad of sesame/olive/canola oil just to give it a more drippy texture.

maaan i so love breakfast. I make a new thing everyday, which are complex recipes, and always sugary (but healthy! Mostly fruit-based, with nuts and stuff. it's a good balance of all macros, and carbing up in the morning works well for me) so i'm always excited for the next morning...Usually around 500, on occasions 600 if…

A bulk, clean or not, is about gaining weight. You will gain both fat and muscle so that's why they often say it can be very mentally challenging at first because your first gains are fat...you eventually turn it into muscle OR you add much more muscle on top of it so the fat doesn't matter much anymore. A recomp is…

i'm no ''actual'' vegetarian because I cannot afford restricting such a large group of food in my diet, especially when it's offered to me, but I cook 95% of what i eat daily and a huge part of it is usually veg, as i'm not a fan of meat to start with (except fish and seafood....i can't help it. but thats on occasions) My…

Good idea, i might dump a few (like 3-5 max if theyre small) in my plate as well (i thought of having a bit of everything that seems decent, so i get to try different things and not feel deprived but all in very small portions!), i always found dumplings to be very filling even if you don't eat much...they're pretty carby…

I always looooved bungee jumping as a child! Now I still miss it as much...if only i knew a plae in town for those things.

Yeah that's what I figured i'd do. The problem is that i am sooo not sure if the meat is actually fresh? People on the reviews say they didnt get sick but i have a more sensitive gut than the norm...So i guess, i sohuld stay away from the chicken just in case, sadly...and the fish? Dammit, theyre the only meats I like.

friend's 18th birthday that night so...we're goin piggy on the chinese buffet! i am sooo gonna regret this haha, i only went to a buffet once or twice so i have no clue how i will react to so much food around instead of just ordering a single meal.

I used to do that, as i loved having huuuge dinners....but eating in such large quantities/so many calories at once made me feel physically sick everytime. So i stopped. I'm actually very very hungry all day anyway, so no way i could possibly not have a large breakfast AND lunch as well, otherwise i have no energy at all…

Thank you! :] Well actually I got it in a garage sale, but I think it comes from American Apparel? No clue if it's an old model or anything but I'm sure you could find something similar (bustiers/croptops section) in their stores, it's their kinda clothing style. Also yep! I was about to say the same thing. I've heard many…

Pole is the BEST. THING. period. What it does for your strength and muscle building is wonderful, it really does a lot on toning up and making you stronger than ever before. Plus it's fun, and you don't see time pass by while working your entire body and not just specific parts only! I've started taking classes in march or…

I guess i could, it's just that i've done pretty much all of the destination-specific rides i had in my mind over and over so i wouldn't know where to go (and when i dont have a specific checkpoint to go to when bikeriding i just get lost and real tired of just cycling around the neighbourhood..its terrible) so I don't do…

Thanks for the more in-depth reply, I guess that article makes sense. I mean yes right, I get it, getting straight ''no''s as the only answer kinda makes your point but it doesn't help me understanding how it works, and WHY wouldn't it make me out of shape or at least look like it (which is what i'm the most worried about,…

I'm 5'1 as well, and while we're definitely not in the same situation -i haven't had children yet at all haha, give me time! i'm still young, weight loss rules are usually the same for everyone. i went from 128 to 120-115 pretty easily, but after that losing the last 10-15 pounds took me literally forever. It's like, i was…

i usually am pretty active on most of my rest days (1-2 days a week). I go grocery shopping all over the neighbourhood (i buy from several different, distanced places) on my bike, walk a lot, cook (meaning i run around the kitchen a lot for a hour or two), go for a relax swim with friends at the pool or just hang out with…

I used to have an emotional drinking problem just a year ago, and on top of that i liked drinking EVERYTHING in sight at parties...now that i dropped a lot of weight i'm much more lightweight and won't drink much (partly because i hae a fragile digestion so food + too much alcohol, especially beer, makes me feel kinda sick…

Thing is, for someone my size (i'm 5'1, 103-104 lbs), it pretty much is. I eat big plates at every meal, filled with very (healthy, but still) calorie-dense foods, so whenever i eat i'm STACKEDwhen i'm done. but i still get hungry not long afterwards, unlogically. I like eating in large quantities. I would say i'm starving…

Yeah, a little... :( But the worst part is that I'm one of the ''small/normal sized boobs'' girls group now, even though when i was 30 lbs heavier i had suuuch huge boobs for my size/height haha (30F, now i'm a 28B-C-D??? no clue, i need to get measured again). It was my trademark ^^' Now I got pretty damn muscular so of…

i have the same problem, my scale doesn't read the same thing dependig on where we place it. We have a ceramic tiles floor in the bathroom, and even just changing the direction in which the scale is facing changes the reading! (faing the door vs facing the bath etc) I assume it's also a matter of gravity, elevation etc, if…

I often make up recipes of my own as well since i cook a lot lot lot (pretty much a different dish every day), so what I do, also because it helps me not forget ingredients i wanted to use, is that i plan my whole dish ahead, writing down every ingredient i wish to use and the quantity in the form of a list. You set the…

A few mins before heading to my pole class! ;^) (the warmth outside was unbearable alright, hence the very light clothing ahah!)

I'm lactose intolerant as well but dairy products are a staple in getting enough protein for me, especially since i'm on a budget and i share my food with my mother (and she wouldn't trade her milk/cottage or whatever for anything non-dairy), so I started taking Lactaid. 2 pills before every meal containing dairy, and…
