Anything below 1000 calories is typically considered disordered eating. EDNOS is oftentimes classified as having a higher BMI, but restricting daily calories below 1000 for an extended period of time. You need to eat more. I'm guessing you are actually eating more than you think. Have you used a food scale?

5'5" female. 157lbs, goal weight of 145lbs. Looking to lose .5lbs or fewer per week. I eat 1500 calories per say when I don't work out. Some days I'll net around 1800 or more.

No. There is nothing magical about IF. I do IF so that I can eat more volume later in the day. That's it. Some people feel more satiated on several smaller meals throughout the day. Others, like myself, enjoy two big meals and few or no snacks.

This! I got serious about strength training again and started training for a 5k and started taking a preworkout with creatine in it. Imagine my surprise when I stepped on the scale and within a few days I was 6lbs heavier. Funny thing was, my body looked leaner and my clothes still fit. 3lbs of that did go away after the…

I did Shaklee 180. I replaced two meals with either a shake or bar, ate two Shaklee 180 snacks, and ate a 300 calorie dinner. Did I lose weight? Sure. I also experienced IBS, intense hunger, and cravings to binge eat. Look, shakes are a great way to get in protein and calories when you're in a hurry, but expensive liquid…

Halo Top just added a bunch of new flavors to their non-dairy line. Snagged Birthday Cake tonight at Target. I love it. Hubby thinks it tastes the way Play-Doh smells lol

Yes, but you're probably going to be really hungry between sundaes.

Soreness is normal. Feeling beat up once your body gets used to the stress you're putting on it can be a sign of overdoing it. Are you wearing proper running shoes? Are you cooling down properly, stretching, and foam rolling after a workout or run? I didn't start doing that until I started running, but I've had three…

Hey, everyone. I'm Jenn and I'm a newbie runner. I'm training for my first 5k, which is coming up in May. My goal is to run the whole thing.

I do it after work. I have a long commute, so I'm already up at 5:30 just to give me time to get ready. If I had to hit the gym, come home and shower, then get ready? I'd be having to wake up around 3am. The good thing is that I pass my gym on the way home, so I put my gym bag in the car, so I'll have no excuse.

I've fluctuated between the same 8lbs for 4 months. It can be frustrating, but you have to be patient, maintain meticulous logging (which I slacked on over the holidays), and don't sweat the numbers. The scale is merely a tool.

Baby carrots with hummus. That's my every work day, afternoon snack.

Wake up around 5:45am Pee Brew coffee Feed cats Drink coffee Brush teeth, hair, and wash face Make bed Put on makeup Get dressed Grab work lunch Leave the house around 6:50 to be at work by 8am. I eat a Clif Builders bar when I first get to my desk while I'm checking my emails.

Pizza. We helped paint my sister and brother-in-law's house this weekend, so no one was in a mood to prepare an Easter spread.

Ugh, can't upload from Android.

The right protein powder is the one you like the taste of. Before I stopped drinking milk, I loved the Quest protein powder. Now I use VeganSmart.

Not in terms of weight loss, but if you are eating plant based, or you're strength training, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on your protein.

That's honestly not that much, in the grand scheme of things. Depending on what you've eaten that tipped you into the red, you may notice a slight water retention gain for a couple of days, but you would have to go 3500 calories over your *maintenance* calories to actually gain a pound of fat. Don't beat yourself up.

I keep a case of Diet Pepsi in my office. I drink 2 a day and occasionally use sugar-free water flavoring drops to keep things interesting. I rarely drink soda in the evening, because I go to bed early and find the caffeine keeps me up.

A scam.

It isn't new, but I went to my closest Trader Joe's today (by closest, I mean close to 20 miles away) and bought the green tea matcha vegan ice cream mochi bites. 65 calories as a apiece and so good!

I only log my B12 chews. I take 2 daily and they're 20 calories apiece.

Going on hormonal birth control, then coming off of it, derailed my progress. I got on the scale and gained over 5lbs over a few days. Some of that was water, yes, but not all. I stayed hungry and tired, so I ate and didn't hit the gym. I'm back on track, though. Undefeated.

The temperature of your water doesn't affect your health or metabolism. It's a matter of personal preference.

I take a Clif Builder bar to work every day for breakfast. It tides me over until lunch, but I'm not a big breakfast person. I also like a big jar of overnight oats with fruit and nuts.

Reaching my ultimate goal weight. It's so close it's both my big goal and my mini goal. I'm also not drinking Starbucks this week. I've been going every day. Extra 1,050 calories a week and costing me close to $40.

Clif nut butter filled bars. If you like the texture of Quest bars, D's Naturals No Cow bars are really good. Nevermind, just read you didn't care for the no cow bar lol

I weigh daily. At my size, even a 5lb gain can be very noticeable, so I like to nip it in the bud. Case in point, I went on hormonal birth control, hated how it made me feel, came off of it, and gained 6lbs over 3 days. I had to really buckle down and tighten up my logging. The scales are finally moving back in the right…

If you're working out, start by eating back 50% of your exercise calories and see what happens. The one thing I don't count are Fitbit steps. Only calories burned when I'm really putting in the work.

I wear really obnoxious political tees, blast my headphones, and maintain a constant RBF. Works like a charm.
