I’ve been doing the keto diet which has helped me loose weight and stop eating junk but I honestly hate it. I’ve given up all my favorite foods and just eat the same things without much enjoyment. I do feel a lot fuller but I always want carbs and have to avoid eating with friends because I know the food won’t be keto. I…

I don’t test my keystones because A. I can’t afford to and B. The research I’ve done claims it’s a scam by fitness gurus and not necessary. I don’t think the IF is bothering me so much because I’ve gone hours without eating and been fine. Honestly I don’t enjoy the food on keto. I was pretty high carb and thought it might…

I’ve still been eating around 1200 calories, some days a little more. I’ve had my thyroid and vitamin D levels checked so I know it’s not that. I’ve only lost 3 lbs and my goal is 15. For the most part I’ve really liked keto but I still want carbs all the time and think about quitting. I was feeling great on it on first…

I just don't want to gain inches on them from weight training. My goal is to loose inches. I don't want super muscular quads. I want to slim them down and tone them. Basically I don't want them to get bigger from too much muscle.

Its pretty much composition. I have a lot of body fat

I know I'm at a normal weight but I still want to loose a little bit. I have weighed more in the past and if I don't control the hunger I'll start gaining again.

27, 5'4", 116 Measuring cups and a food scale I'm not very active so maybe that has something to do with it Everybody keeps telling me I'm actually eating too much and that's why I'm not loosing weight but I'm 99% sure when I don't have a binge episode I am sticking to 1200. I can't exactly eat less if I'm already starving…

It's usually when I wake up that I crave up. Sometimes I feel kinda sick if I don't eat something sugary

Having the same issue as I crave sugar every single day. Don't know if it's some kind of deficiency or I just have a bad sweet tooth

By normal I mean actually being satisfied from a meal or not having to choose a salad because I only have 300 calories I can eat. I know I can't eat cookies and burgers all day everyday but I can't wait until I can have a little extra. It just gets awkward looked up my food and saying oh I can't eat there I will go over my…

People can just be mean. Everyone assumes I starve myself or I eat like a bird when I maintain a bmi of around 19 and it is really annoying and hurtful. I wanna tell them no it's self control and exercise try it and maybe you won't be fat but that would be rude. People always have opinions of how you should look what…

Good advice I will have to try that

That's my goal over all but my body goes into shock if I dramatically change my diet so I'm trying to take small steps until I eventually am there

It's something I have wanted to do for a long time and my partner is really serious about. I believe in animal rights and if I can contribute in any way I will. I'm down to only having meat once a day at most. Being in the Midwest options are limited but I'm making more of my own food

I would see a nutritionist. Cdc.gov says as a rule women should not eat less than 1200 calories a day. That's the center for desiese control and prevention. I ate 1200 to loose weight and it's barely any food at all so I can't even imagine how you would do that without starving or having dizzy spells so yeah for sure get a…

Thanks, good advice everyone. Sounds like I don't have much to worry about

It's been for about a month, I need to stop binging but like I said I'm getting burned out. Maybe I will just enjoy myself

I totally feel you on being burned out. I only have four more pounds but I am soooo sick of restricting. I have bad influences all the time too like oh you want some chocolate cake cause if you don't you must have an Ed. I personally am burned out with eating but if you are burned out on exercise maybe take a break week…

I don't think fasting of any kind is good for you. If I skip a meal I get dizzy spells and trust me this gets worse over time. You can have a lower calorie lunch to eat a high cal dinner. I do that all the time.

I only wanted to loose 10 lbs but I am also 5' 4" and eat 1200 and I'm not loosing anymore. I was doing fine at 1500 but I got impatient and I find it so hard to eat 1200 I keep binging and gaining back loosing gaining back. So maybe set it to 1 lb a week and bump up your cardio. Just a suggestion if your like me and cheat…

That forum was really inspirational

As far as I know they don't need replaced. I knew someone who has had there's for 30 years

Wow your progress is so inspiring, you look amazing

Daaammmnn if that's bulky sign me up. Abs for days! Great job

Wow nice job

How do I join?

I'm 5' 4" and 114 currently. I think my pant size is partly because I have narrow hips but yeah I think maybe I haven't caught on to the change in my body yet but I for sure want more muscle. It tells me to have 1560 for maintence. But yeah I think I think give that a try

Oh no I'm not in maintenance just yet, that's what I eat to eat to loose weight but I'm akmost at a point where I'm going to be doing maintence I would say in a week or so. I do gain weight back pretty easily though so I might slowly eat more calories until I find my true maintence. I enjoy body weight a lot more but I…

I don't think it's too young at all. I would never suggest a child count calories but I would look into her needs and make sure she is eating enough as children have high metabolisms. It could be a start to a healthy life and make her feel good about herself preventing depression and an eating disorder. Like I said though…

I think my bmi is 19 or 20 currently. I'm trying biking now as that worked my legs a lot in the past. My friend knows a bodybuilder and he said if you want tone and not bulk up you should do lighter weights but more reps. Is this true? Or is body weight better. Which weight machines should I do and how often
