  • when at a social event/party with friends and I say no thanks to wine, chips or that extra you like to keep away from for a good while, and they point out to me that I should enjoy myself-just this one time- They have a hard time accepting the fact that I am actually really enjoying myself, both with their company and that…
  • Our body has absolutely no use of sugar. None! -we eat it because it tastes good. It's a treat. And we like to treat ourselves,even if it's good or bad. Some people are more likely to get addicted to "treats", (in some forms), than others ;) Salt is something the body needs, BUT not much-just enough! Happy New year :)
  • If it feels ok for you,you absolutely can do it. Maybe you feel diffrently after a while. I'm 52 yrs old, 5'3 (160 cm) and now 143lb(65 kg) I am at maintance and do heavy strengthlifting 3-4 times a week. I don't want to be skinny,but fit. That's a big difference for me. Good luck with your loss :)
  • and either way, 1 kg of muscles burn more calories than 1 kg of fat. That is a fact. So, lift something heavy from time to time ;)
  • agree with water :) and much more veggies...But you know this I guess...;)
  • What about travel insurance, or some other insurance?
  • You are on track. Forget why, how and when :wink: Just hang in there. MFP is great to use. Good luck to you. You are doing it! :smile:
  • Don't give up,you are on the right track :) I'm also short-although I don't know how short you are. I'm 160 cm. I do powerlifting and has been for some time, and was gaining some weight. I didn't focus on the food at that time ;). I decided this had to end so....since about 49 days ago(to be exact) my PT recommended this…
  • I wouldn't worry since you sound healthy, and loosing cm ;).....other than that I notice it is aprilfools day today- maybe that is the "problem"? ;)
  • Good question :) I know that after a while on diet as yours and your weightloss the body get used to the amount of calories and since you eat the same nomatter how active you are, the body starts saving -keeping the fat( this is how we are built in case of famine). Maybe you actually have to increase your calories by a…
  • You have done a real good job. Well done! Maybe less carbs from light bread, and more proteins(white fish, chicken, turkey etc.-low on calories) Try to eat your carbs as vegetables, broccoli, brousselsprouts, carrots, etc etc.(it will fill you up in a healthy and good way) Light bread is no good in my opinion, lots of…
  • :) Make your own. Use a scale an measure every item/ingrediants. Then use MFP to calculate exact calories. I make my own, from the sauce using fresh tomatoes, hunting the ham ;) (kidding) -and the pizza dough. It's a lot of calories in the pizza. My homade, which is strictly measured - the cheese,if it's mozarella or not…
  • Yes in the long run it will. Muscles uses more energy than fat. So keep on working out with weightlifting ;)
