I have to use the barbell specifically set aside for deadlifts for a boost to reach the pull up bars. It's very undignified, but I have learned how to balance on something that could potentially roll over and send me flying. Although if I did go flying, I obviously wouldn't have far to fall. Oh, and squats are good at…

Is there a short man's group as well by any chance? I hate being too small to reach the pull up bar without standing on something. I don't really need motivation, just nice to know other people look up a lot as well.

Don't have trigger food items lying about or anything that comes in large quantity packs.

Your face appears to be the main focus of the photo rather than anything you have on you. If I'm judging a coat, I want to see all of it. Your face is perfectly pleasing though, although your expression is that of someone who is regretting paying as much as they did for the coat and wondering if they can take it back.

This is where I'd start looking, almost no slip ups implies there has been a slip up. The scale of that slip up could have easily been enough to undo any small weight loss. And people being people, we're naturally biased towards underestimating how bad that slip up may have been. If you're eating back exercise calories…

Erm, nope. I can see in five or more years time your daughter is going to be one of those people posting on here about hurtful comments from relatives that makes them feel bad about themselves and drives them to overeating to try and cope.

I think it would be wise, very helpful and a great way to avoid confusion if MFP revised down their calories burnt estimates. I remember a year or so ago someone on here saying 'It's a good thing I burn 1000 calories a day from doing housework or I'd put on even more weight'.

Doctors are not experts on training, nor are they on nutrition. It's easy to think they would be as both affect the human body. But nope, they are not. Also, it sounds like 'plateau' is becoming the latest buzzword in regards to weight loss, or lack of. It gets used far too easily.

If your macros aren't letting you eat the food you want, then it isn't working for you and should change your macros to something that does work so you'll be more likely to stick with it.

OP, your avatar suggests you are gaunt which means you aren't eating enough or God forbid you have a terminal illness. Whilst it is difficult to ascertain the 'tone' of typed words, you 'sound' like someone who has a problem with your diet. I've been here myself, I was told by many people I was gaunt at one point but I…

I miss interacting with a Swedish girl I used to talk to a lot over a shared love of Nutella and viaducts.

It took you a couple of years to put that weight on, so give yourself about a year and a half to lose it.

Are you confident you can avoid giving in to hunger outside of those hours? Personally speaking I like being able to eat later on in the evening. Stopping at 6pm seems like a mess waiting to happen. Besides which, men are usually advised to go with an eight hour eating window. But the usual information I see about IF says…

Going on strike generally means you're denying someone something that you provide that they need. But in this case it would only be you you're going on strike against. 99.9% of the time when someone isn't losing weight, it's because they're eating more than they think. Perhaps when logging you're using generic entries such…

Don't drink the wine as much, there - is that enough encouragement?

Exactly what I wanted to say. Someone blaming others and their advice for their own eating control problems is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on here. We're all adults who are responsible for ourselves.

Maybe ease up a bit on your calorie deficit so you can eat a little bit more and fit in something from McDonalds once a week? It might help if you know you've got something you really want to look forward to and help you avoid binging if the reward is you can eat a McDonalds meal and still meet your goals.

Search for it under cardio, you'll find a calorie burnt estimate there. Don't take any calorie reading on here as gospel though, they can be way off. And it's very difficult to estimate for lifting weights because it all depends on how heavy you lift, how long you rest between sets, all sorts of variables.

You already know the tip people on a website dedicated to tracking food are going to tell you. The downside to not tracking is people instinctively under estimate calorie intake because you're biased in favour of eating as much as possible. So if you don't want to track but still want to lose weight, you're going to have…

No 'can' about it, you will. I don't know your stats though so can't say if that's a healthy way to lose weight though.

You're eating more than you burn, it's that reason 99.9% of the time. Eating 'healthy' is too vague, you can gain weight through eating too much of what would be classed as healthy food. Whatever you're logging is probably incorrect.

This is the forum for people who do want to gain weight, the other forum you've posted this in was correct.

When you say you've been fairly strict with your eating that leaves a lot open to interpretation. It sounds like you're either being too strict on what you think you should limit yourself to and then crashing and binging in response. Or you're tracking some of the time, winging it the rest of the time, stressing, binging…

Another person leaving the forever singles club, I definitely feel more and more like everyone else lives in this whole different world I'm not a part of. So I'll just say what I would do if I ever came across that one person who made me feel like that and they felt the same way about me - enjoy it in any and every way…

A supplement to gain weight in a society where weight gain is pretty much the easiest thing ever has to be a contender for the con job of the century. This is pretty much the fitness industry's version of selling ice to eskimos.

Weigh everything to the gram/measure everything to the ML, don't use generic entries such as '1 banana' or '1 jacket potato' because they're usually way off, be aware that exercise calories given are usually way over what they actually are.

It won't, a so called juice cleanse or shake diet are not sustainable long term, so doing a diet that is for short term only will not teach you anything you can use to improve your relationship with food. And you'll only be replacing one set of bad habits with another. If you want to do it, then do it, but don't fall into…

A great way to motivate yourself is to have a plan that you know you can do and look forward to doing.

There is fibre in bananas, not as much compared to other fruit, but definitely some. If you're wanting to drink stuff just use an ordinary cheap blender, mine keeps everything together quite nicely.

Is that an order?
