Then I stand corrected, thank you.

If I remember correctly, fat burns 5-6 calories where as muscle burns roughly 9 calories (a lb per day). So having muscle is better in that sense. Though that isn't the main reason that most people obtain muscle. It is to feel better, look better, and or pick up heavier things. I like my muscles, because I worked hard for…

The scary part is this is after "calmed down since last night"

Since others took the you should be weighing your foods, I will take you have unrealistic expectations. You have 25 lbs to lose. You should be looking to lose about .5 lb per week (about what you are). MFP has a lower bound for women at 1200 calories, meaning that's the lowest it will recommend (even if you set it at 1.5…

I fail to see how this is a "dating" issue. From what I gather: Weekdays good, weekends bad. You are responsible for what goes in your mouth and when. Has nothing to do with you dating and has everything to do with you choosing to binge.

I think the bigger point that nordlead2005 was making had to do with incomplete information and not jumping to conclusion based on such biased information. Not that 6x a week at the gym is wrong, just that the OP could be over doing it and is upset that the partner wasn't giving into their whims. The same goes with the…

I can not comment on any form of health effects (what I assume you mean by bad). I can say it promotes unhealthy ideas of weight loss across all weights. To accomplish this challenge (assuming not losing initial water weight), most would have to severely under eat to create the caloric deficit large enough. This says…

Not to be a wet blanket, but I am going to be a wet blanket. There is a reason why mfp only allows 2 lb a week loss. It is typically the highest amount to safely lose weight. That is only for people with a lot of weight to lose. Half the people that have said "in" have less than 30 lbs to lose. This is not smart or…

I believe in one of your threads before I gave a certain piece of advice, which I am going to give again. Given the issues you keep going through, set your weight loss speed to .5 lb per week. It will give you more calories to play with right now, which will help you in learning to budget / meal plan better. As you work…

As we (the community) said in other posts, a lot of the early weight is water. So a reward for this was not really warranted. That being said, eating maintenance is far better than you used to do. If I remember correctly, you always had an issue over eating (/ large amounts of high calorie food), so saying that you are now…

185 is a lot. The uni near me does it for 75 for the general population. While I could see the knowledge of target heart rate might be beneficial, I do not think it is worth the money for the average person.

I am not the brightest bulb so please forgive me as I try to sort all the facts out so far. Lets see if this sum up the thread so far: 5'2 UK female that started at 16st2 wants to get down to 9st (has PCOS). Goes to clinic, and clinic (or nurse) says do this liquid 1000-1200 calorie diet for four weeks to "kick start…

The top of your healthy bmi is around125. So if you weren't athletic you would be slightly overweight (about 10lb ). However you are a championship dancer so I will assume you have far more muscle than the average person. As such you are fine as you are. To test this get a bod pod or other accurate measure of bf% and see…

If you cannot have snacks around.... then remove them from the house or just do not repurchase them. I would echo that it is possible to increase the amount per meal to see if that helps. Are you weighing your foods? It looks like alot of the diary entreies look eyeballed or generic. Not sure what 100% beef patties are...…

You might find more information in the recipe board area. Also lifting is correct.

Then you are so..... LUCKY!!!!! The payday that is coming from that evidence, not to mention the book tours and speaking... so lucky.

It is amazing how strong a nocebo effect can be.

No. Science can not "prove" anything. It is only able to disprove or to offer support for a theory. The word prove indicates that a solution has been found (in a closed sense), this does not apply to science. Even if there is support for a theory,meaning the findings are consistent with a theory, the theory can always be…

Proves is the wrong word when speaking about science

I have found at various points in my life that it was beneficial to see someone to talk about where I was a little mentally off. If these fears and issues are harming your life (or being a great annoyance) it might help you to do the same. As for lifting, it will work with enough time under bar. It is not a miracle cure,…

This second paragraph says what the answer for the mayo clinic says (in-more detail about the mitochondria). So all is good there, except for two important sentences: Reducing glucose in the blood can help with some cancers, not all but with some This can help slow (some) tumor growth down, depending on the cancer These…

I take a complete rest day (such as today I logged only 1k steps and no workout just some stretches) once a week. If I don't I seem to rack up injures over time.

I wish there was a little dog figure with a crooked head, with just blinking eyes. Just no. To quote the mayo clinic Myth: People with cancer shouldn't eat sugar, since it can cause cancer to grow faster. Fact: Sugar doesn't make cancer grow faster. All cells, including cancer cells, depend on blood sugar (glucose) for…

So I have bad news for you (most likely). Setting MFP at 2 lb a week doesn't mean you actually will lose 2 lb a week. 1200 is the bottom number MFP will give a woman, so odds are it isn't set at 2 lb a week right now.

Why does it have to be a bear? Why can't it be a unicorn? Also things I learned from your post: Wild fruits only happen for up to a month and only near winter Extreme examples prove the norm Conjecture is the same as fact Bears gorge on berries in the fall even though berries season is until mid summer We have a natural…

exercise is for general health and well being. You lose weight by being in a caloric deficit. Meaning while you can workout, it isn't required for losing weight (though there are benefits such as maintaining lean mass (by lifting weights). More over not eating an extra 500 calories of food is far far easier than burning…

I will point out that 600 to 700 calories burned in the gm everyday might be too high too.

118 is in the healthy range. You should have been focused on lifting the entire way through. Never too late to start

1200 is the lowest it will give you. Odds are you set 2 lbs a week, which would drop you below 1200 a day. so you wont average the 2 lbs you set due to this .5 lb a week is good for 9 lbs left

You will lose weight mainly from how you eat daily. Exercise is more for health than weight loss. I would actually recommend lifting weights more than cardio. Lifting helps not lose muscles while losing. Good luck.
