Thank you for your concern, but to be honest, my problem started way before the flight. It was actually better after it. I will get it checked later though at the doctor's though, maybe if it continues until next week or so. But I have noticed today that if I don't think about it, I don't actually need to take a breath in,…

It's only been a week, and it's possibly water weight. Don't worry about it too much. If after a month you only see a gain, then that's when you should be worried.

Tell her you don't like fat girls lol Joking aside, just tell her upfront that you like being skinny, and that if she doesn't like skinny guys, she needs to deal with it. Or try to get her back to weight loss and help her maintain it, if she's been losing and gaining the weight and she sees you losing your weight…

Yeah if you find 6 days too much, then don't stress and just start slow. You can always just go for a walk on your rest days, just to keep yourself still a little active but not to overexercise yourself. Rest days also allows your muscles to rest and repair itself after strenuous workouts throughout the week.

I'm taking a break right now because I'll be going back home overseas this Saturday, though trying as hard as I can to still stay within calorie goals. I know I'll be eating ice cream + cookie tomorrow so I just need to accept that I'll be at least 300 calories over, but that's just tomorrow. I'll also be going to Japan…

Just eat the meal sooner and have a little snack later on then. It's not too hard to accommodate or compensate if it's only 2-3 hours early. There's no problem in eating meals early. I'm eating dinner right now an hour earlier than usual, and I doubt I'll get hungry before I need to go sleep.

I think it's probably your body's way of trying to say that it needs more nutrients to fend off the cold. Which you should do! Once your cold's gone and you don't feel so lethargic anymore, you can go hard on exercise and going back to a calorie deficit! The last thing you need right now is not feeding your body enough to…

I've never used Weight Watchers before but I would definitely recommend switching to MFP and just eat their recommended calories if all you're eating is 1000 calories. You should never go down below 1200 calories a day, that's very unhealthy. I'm in a Weight Watchers recipe group on Facebook (just for the recipes, I don't…

lol I actually read a horror story where a girl couldn't diet because she had binge-eating disorder, and she was obsessed with the scale that she cut her leg off so that she could impress her crush, since her leg took off a lot of weight. It was really scary, and somehow it seems like something someone out there might be…

You could just joke about it. "Oh no! Do you think the neighbour's dog will start chasing me because I'm as thin as a stick?"

I just quickly put in your stats in a TDEE calculator, and to maintain while you're sedentary needs 1600 calories a day, which means 11,200 calories in a week. 8500-9000 a week is definitely too low for maintaining. However, I think that since you eat out on Friday to Sunday, I can see that eating out may have offset your…

Yes, because water totally makes people gain 100 lbs because there are definitely calories in water. Obviously not the greasy burgers worth 1000 calories in one meal, am I right? OP I'm 5'4", I was 150 lbs, now 140 lbs and still looking to go down to 120 lbs. You can definitely do it even if you don't exercise, but of…

How long have you been doing this? It is a good idea to give yourself a rest day just to make sure that you don't overwork yourself though.

Before you start, it's best to point out that if you're only doing this as a diet and not a lifestyle change, it's going to be quite hard once you reach your weight loss goals. Will you continue keto even after reaching your goals? Or will you switch back to eating carbs? It makes a difference, and though it's not as bad…

Protein bars! They're a bit more on the calorie side (100-200 calories) but they do give quite a bit of protein in return (8-10 g). That's quite a lot of protein for me! :)

I'm 20, 5'4", who recently got down from 150 lbs to 140 lbs, and still looking to get lower. I got there while eating chicken nuggets. There's no such thing as junk food, only correct portions for your weight loss goal. What you need is willpower, nothing else really.

I'm eating a daily average of 1200, but that is usually increased by at least 150-200 because I work out nearly every day and I have to walk quite a bit (and up & down a hill) from my flat to university. So far no problems. The only real problem that I have is with nutrients, I wasn't eating enough protein, but it's…

If you're talking about eating at a reasonable deficit, no it will not shut your body down. However, if you do only 500 calorie meals every day for at least 6 months - 1 year straight, then yes it will affect your metabolism because your body was forced into the extremes. If you follow the goals set by MFP for you, your…

How do you even live off apples and yogurt? Where's the protein and fat and carbs? This isn't just low calorie, it's just low nutrition.

In that case, I would buy a burger, split it in half, then eat it for lunch and dinner so that it fits with my calorie intake. Of course, eat whatever you want as long as it's within reason. That means you can eat that cheeseburger as long as you portion it. That's how CICO works anyways. When I tried to lose weight the…

How long has a long time been?

Do you feel sick at all? Have you been having trouble going to the toilet?

1100 a day is already too low, there's a reason why MFP doesn't go below 1200. Your weight is already in a very healthy range. Don't go down anymore, I have a suspicion thst the reason why your muscles aren't toning up is because you're not giving it enough fuel in the first place. I suggest going on maintenance calories…

Look at the goal maintenance board, they have tips and advice (probably more than looking through this board).

Add me too please! I'm 20, 5'4". Currently my weight is 140 lbs, but I'm aiming to get down to 120 lbs. One pound at a time! :)

I feel like if alcohol affected weight that much, all of the skinny girls in my uni who drink heavily every week (sometimes two times a week) would be really, really obese by now. I don't drink as much alcohol by far and I'm fatter than them, so yeah.

A lot of my friends are skinny (in healthy BMI range though) and their periods are very irregular ever since they hit puberty. Apparently it just runs in the family. I also have irregular periods sometimes too, like it would skip a month for no reason, but I'm also within a healthy BMI. Once I went on the pill, however, my…

Losing 2 pounds a week is already really aggressive, lower your settings down to 0.5-1lbs per week. MFP would give you a much higher calorie allowance. Also, I hope you understand that even if you put in 2 lbs per week but then manually raise the calories, that you won't be losing 2 lbs per week, so don't be disappointed…

Write the food that you eat and count it after then, if you feel like that would help you. If you feel like you don't need it, then you don't need it.

Even if you go to WW, you will still need to ensure that you are within their points, which is a similar form of restriction anyways. You also need to be careful of their fruits if you're using the new system too, apparently fruits are 0 points which doesn't work because they still have sugar in them. You need to realise…
