thank you SO much for this response

Medium and I have no idea, I have a very inaccurate scale that says 32% but I thought that was kinda off since abs are starting to show and then an online one said 25% (most likely) or 22% I believe

This is a tricky situation, hard for an outsider to discern, and even more difficult without knowing what you look like. Given your stats, it's likely that losing a few pounds isn't a bad thing. But it's hard to determine if you have a bit of body dismorphia or if those around you are so accustomed to seeing overweight…

Thank you.

Thank you :-) Ive considered switching back to intuitve eating as I did lose alot of weight doing that and it was alot more freeing.

I really like how you rephrased that & thank you for the advice!

Ive been in the 140s and high 130s all of highschool and Im 18. Im pretty sure the last time I was in the 120's was middle school.

something that i always do with binge foods is have something to balance it out. if i have chips ill have a sandwhich with it or cottage cheese and with something like icecream ill have fruit or toast and lots of water. you can see if that helps!

Hey! I use the exchange system to help me hit my macros and Im usually within a close range :) Im just giving that suggestion if you have a hard time!

I was going to wait until school stared to start posting on here, but I might as well. I dont have a gym membership until I go to school so cardio here I come. SW: 148.2 CW: 148.2 Im about to go on a run after finishing up lunch of toast, eggs. cheese and deli meat. I listened to some worship music today and was dealing…

I love this !

I saw a video of myself dancing, and the first thing I thought was "whoever that is looks really good. They have a really nice body. Seriously, body goals." and then I looked closer and it was me, and I didnt feel like "they" looked so good anymore. Thats when I realized I definitely have some body image issues. Its crazy…

I would assume not considering I use a scale for everything and I lost weight before but the only thing I can think of that changed was definitely my macros I was high carb & low protien for the 2000 and getting very very hungry every two hours and now I switched to higher protien and lowered my carbs and I never really…

No alcohol for me, haha! but maybe dehydration

I have no idea how to edit a post but I just read it over again, and I didn't mean that I've been logging for like 3 days. Its been wayyyy longer than that (months). I was previously eating 1300 and hit the wall and then figured all the exercise and eating that low wasnt the best for my body. Then, I upped it to 2000 (plus…

Im under 1696 a day to be exact unless I of course I binge

I use a watch and heart rate monitor strap. As for my binges, they're binges to me, I think thats subjective. Theyre definitely more than 1000 calories usually.

Yeah, losing this last 20 pounds has been alot different from losing the first 20. Also, Ive been logging for a very long time (more than 10 days), but this is my first time on this amount of calories. I didn't expect to gain weight.
