You shouldn't need to wait for the after. I took a new one monthly and now that I'm down to the last 15 and on a .5 deficit I do it every 2 months. It can help a lot.

Please send all unwanted tofu and pita bread to my inbox. I'll "struggle" through for everyone else. :)

I think they are saying that they would be close and not drastically different in overall shape. We are talking less that a couple pounds between women of similar heights.

I'm sure they figured themselves out somewhere between now and last July.

All that does is set you back. OP has it been 3 weeks? Have you changed exercise? Had a salty meal? Drank enough water? Eaten heavy on the carbs? All of these things can make you hold water and make your loss stall. 1 went from 156 to 159 back to 154.6 all in a week due to water retention from working out and sodium intake…

When I think of belly fat spot reduction I just think of all the times I've seen a guy with fat everywhere but has like a perfect inset 6 pack. Then I realize how silly that would be and realize spot reduction doesn't work.

It sucks you arent happy this isn't always fun or easy. Saying that you have this app and it gives you a goal. You need to use it. You only have like 3-4 logs since February 1st. 2 of them are ok but have questionable calorie burns. The 3rd you put in 4 hours of constant 3mph walking for 2000 cals then nothing for ages.…

I like cheez its and ate them as a treat as I lost weight. If you weight out one serving like 33 grams (not 100% is been a while) or even 2 it's not that bad.

In 5'7 male 155 atm at around 18-17% right now. Still a little fat on the sides then some upper but mostly lower abdominals. I'm still cutting down while lifting. If your female these #s will be pretty different. For male ~159 gets you out of the overweight catagory. If you want to recomp and remain at 178 it's going to be…

You can add some light cardio to burn some extra cals but it's mostly eat at a deficit and keep lifting. Make sure to keep up protein goals.

Ok be appalled but you still arent logging. I also never said anything to suggest your incompetent just that you can't expect exercise to be the driving force of a diet. You also didn't give your stats I was under the impression you had a good amount of weight to lose. Due to that adding exercise and a general diet change…

Doesn't mean they are properly counting calories. Plenty of people alter their diets to "clean", low fat, no sugar, stop soda but don't properly count calories. If they are that's great keep at it. They mentioned "increased ecercise significantly" and "working their butt off", with zero mention of logging. It's worth…

Working put is good for you but regular weightloss happens in the kitchen. Relying mostly on exercise could cause you to burnout and stall.

Not this. You can over eat on a cheat meal and not lose weight, even if its one day. If you need a cheat day I would plan it to be maintenance and not over. You will lose a little less for the week but at least it wont set you back 6 other days. If you do got over you can either just move on or try to cut a little extra if…

You do your best estimate. If you know a meal like this is coming up eat less a few days prior or that day to bank calories. You can also spread calories. Divide the extra by x days and eat a little less until you even out. Calorie goals aren't a blank slate every day.

How much you eat and logging will get you what you want like others said. There is really no reason to go vegetarian or vegan unless you want to. Chicken and fish can be really good lean food choices. Also you want to learn to eat in a way you can sustain after the loss. Right now your metabolic rate is highest it probably…

Weightloss is what you eat. The exercise just helps. Muscle retention = lift weights. Larger calorie burn & cardio health = cardio.

Your not going to get a lot of support to be underweight. Honestly if you don't like your shape I recommend eating more and weight training. Putting so much emphasis on a weight number instead of your actual shape and health is bad. At your weight the #shuldnt matter it's about body composition.

Just keep a steady loss and you know it's working.

The muscle thing is about density not weight. Generally 100 pounds of bricks will be more dense then 100 pounds worth of feathers while both have the same weight.

Do you make a lot of meals but have them regularly? There is a recipe builder in the app for that. Once its added once you can just back reference. You could also try simpler meals for a while. It's your goals and you might need to make slight adjustments or put in more work for a little while to get used to it.

There are a lot of good suggestions here. I would also ask are you eating enough? What is your daily calorie goal? You could be overdoing your deficit.

Ok. But 220 to 225 is borderline obese. You can see why It's hard to believe a slightly wider or thicker skeleton would make him look sick. You say he is low body fat so he must look hulkish with all the muscle.

.... sure. I really don't like these "They look ill" "They are a skeleton!!" Are they really? Do they really look so thin they need to seek medical help while still technically overweight. (Granted 6'1" is taller but not that much, there is a different BMI calc that can be better for short/tall link at bottom) Generally I…

This is junk. First off women at best in surplus of calories on protein goals LIFTING heavy are only going to put on .5 to 1lb muscle per month. At deficit probl doing cardio isn't going to build muscle.

Yeah even at that most people in those ranges would be very tall and not likly obese. Most humans aren't going to push into the obese range with almost pure muscle without some liquid enhanced lifting, but definitely dip into the "overweight" category if an extreme athlete.

You probably did what happens a lot. Got settled and got some calorie creep and we're eating over goals without noticing. Started exercise and upped calories si to stave off accidentally gaining you got more exact in your counting even if you don't think you did. Boom tighter logging + exercise at higher cal = better…

5'7" male lift 3 times a week since last august currently 155 still losing. You are most likely not too skinny or muscly. You still probably have a fairly high body fat %. If you can pinch various places and still can get a 1/4 to 1/2 of thickness between fingers it's not ecess skin there is still fat there. A lot of…

I'd say your right for people that lift. I'd assume people outside of that circle see it as a diet restriction.

Yeah most men aren't NFL players and just cause we are healthy now doesn't mean the stress doesn't compound later. It's just like if you interview a bunch of obese 20-25 year old they will be ok do it with 40-45 I bet the numbers change. Along with how long they have been over weight and activity level.
