If you're worried about making him feel fat by paying attention to his weight, simply couch it as a sports thing. Any athlete who competes in a sport with weight classes enjoys a considerable advantage when they are able to comfortably reach the next lowest weight class. There are coaches whose sole purpose is to help an…

Thanks. She made a very specific claim and now wants to fall back on generalities. It's disingenuous.

. The discussion is more nuanced than you would like it to be. Some of us are discussing details, like the breed, gender, hair length, and temperament of a dog, while you holler insistently that it's a dog and all that matters is that it's a dog.

You have no way of knowing whether those photos mean what you think they mean. Just because someone weighed an amount with high BF% and weighs the same with lower BF% doesn't mean that they lost fat and gained muscle at a 1:1 rate. You haven't even provided meaningful evidence that YOU lost fat and gained muscle at a 1:1…

If you're already at a healthy BMI, you could consider recomposition. This discussion should be helpful to get you started: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10177803/recomposition-maintaining-weight-while-losing-fat/p1 If you're not at a healthy BMI, you kind of have to choose what you want to do: lose…

It’s more than you are asking for but it might be worth it because you get so much function for such a great price: Amazfit Bip. I got one at the beginning of the summer and I absolutely love it. I was afraid it would be too much because I’m not a tech-oriented person (I still don’t have my email set up on the iPhone I’ve…

Don't forget to stretch. That should help with the tight, sore muscles. I know I pay big time if I don't stretch. Sun salutations are a great place to start.

Thanks mom23mangos. Glad I wasn't stepping on any toes. Also glad to see that I wasn't too far out to lunch on my BF% estimates! You look fabulous BTW. Gawd that stomach *drools* Gratz on all your hard work paying off

No. Is that a problem? I didn't think it would be because they are posted in another thread on these boards. I could link to the thread in which they are posted instead if so but that seems like six of one/half dozen of the other to me. Definitely want to be helpful. Definitely don't want to cause problems. I can only edit…

Not to be nasty to you, tcunbeliever, or spraytanninghelens, but you guys should ditch those scales or at least stop listening to what they have to say about your BF%. There is just no way that spraytanninghelens is under 20% BF based on her photo and I daresay there is almost no way you are 18% BF based on your profile…

I am currently on the mend from a knee injury. When I'm not injured, I do CrossFit and yoga at a gym and Convict Conditioning (Paul Wade's book) on my own time. I don't specifically lift so I can't really recommend a program for that. I have a friend who swears by Strong Curves though and I see it recommended here for…

You’re already at a healthy body weight. You should not be trying to lose 2lbs/week. That is too big of a deficit and likely why you have a hard time on the weekends: you’re undereating during the week which leads to overeating on the weekends. Check this thread out to learn about recomposition, which is changing your BF%…

Enter your information into MFP. Select the option to maintain and eat that many calories :)

I don't think you should lose weight for the reasons stated above but tracking with MFP could help ensure that you don't gain too much weight over the course of your pregnancy. Best thing to do is discuss this with your doctor.

I'm sure he is but there's boatloads of baggage involved here. As I mentioned in my last response, I could write pages and pages and pages on our dysfunctions however it's really not relevant to OP. I'm not looking for therapy or advice on repairing my relationship. My involvement here is to offer support and empathy.…

If you are addressing me, well, my son and I have all sorts of issues not related to his weight. I was a single teen mother. He was difficult child that I was not equipped to deal with very well. We lived in abject poverty for most of his childhood. His father was barely around and offered zero financial support during…

I totally relate. My son is extremely overweight. I definitely feel it is a reflection upon me and my parenting. I'm ashamed that when people see us together they think I didn't feed him properly, teach him properly or raise him properly even though he was an active kid with a healthy weight throughout his childhood--it's…

I no longer have boobs, I have tiny ski jumps attached to either side of my chest--they literally look like a pair of J's hanging there when I'm without a bra. I went from 36DD's to 34B's. If my kid were still little, he wouldn't be driving his dinky cars through the mountains, he'd be launching them into oblivion. FML.

On the website, I report the amount of the serving size used as 0.5 rather than 1. I don’t use the app so I’m not sure but it seems unlikely that you would not be able to do the same on the app as well.

BTW, the correct answer is carrot cake. It's made with carrots so it's good for you.

Looks sort of tempting but wouldn't the pie crust be all soggy from being smothered in cake?

Haha, I just posted this, literally seconds ago, into another forum in case I had put it in the wrong spot. Thanks for the response jjpptt2. I'm not sure I know the answer to your question. I tore my hamstring quite seriously so does that mean I want to strengthen the existing muscle or am I building new muscle?

I think the better question is how one could believe an entire 6” cake could somehow be 400 calories. A cake made of broccoli maybe.

I have a friend who swears by Strong Curves. She’s also a huge fan of Kayla Itsines. I personally love the slow, methodical, repetitious pace of Convict Conditioning and you don’t need any equipment for the program other than a chin up bar eventually. There’s all kinds of resources online if none of my suggestions appeal…

I got Invisaligns right around the time I started trying to lose weight. It definitely helped because I really had to mean business if I was going to bother taking them out, then brushing and flossing after eating. The biggest thing I missed was chewing gum TBH.

Breakfast: 235g plain greek yogurt and 115g blueberries Lunch: 625g sweet potato and turkey chilli https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/229081/sweet-potato-chili/?internalSource=hub%20recipe&referringContentType=Search Dinner: 15g peanut butter on Silver Hills Little Big Bread x2 and 250ml 2% milk Snacks: 21g cheddar cheese,…

In whatever forum you want to add the post, there is a green button to the left of the page and above the blue title bar with "discussion/started by/replies/most recent reply" in it labelled "create". Click on that to start a new thread :) It's kind of hiding but once you find you'll be all how could I not have seen that??

I'm 43y/o, 5'4" and currently 130lbs +/- 2lbs. Maintenance is ~1550cals for me and I'm reliable for ~250cals of exercise per day over and above that. I'm not terribly active although I am on my feet all day at work and walk the dog 7kms/day pretty much no matter what (she's bonkers without her walks). I also normally do…

Eh, I'm sure that's unnecessary. My last post was an expression of incredulity more than it was helpfulness. I don't have much time for people who come looking for advice and then argue with the answers they are given because they don't like what they hear. I mean dude flat out states he "don't know squat about weight…
