rum and (diet) coke

mine is literally listed as 1 calorie... I still log it just to keep track of stuff (vitamins, iron, etc) though

If I had an otherwise good day with lots of normally filling food (aka didn't "waste" any calories on sweets or salty snacks) and I'm genuinely still hungry I go for a maintenance day (aka eat net 1600ish instead of 1200-1300) About a day before my time of month I'm usually really hungry and crave sugar a lot... I'm much…

unless you're diabetic (or have other medical reasons to try and limit sugar) I wouldn't worry about it, if it's part of a balanced diet.. I'm almost always over my sugar limit, just through eating fruit and vegetables and my occasional glass of milk

I always knew I was fat.. I was bullied for it before I even reached an "overweight" weight because my face was round as a kid and I was kinda soft all over - even at a (higher end of) normal the biggest "i need to do something about this" was when I saw 90kg on my scales and I was struggling to find clothes big enough to…

visiting my long distance boyfriend this time next month

I don't really watch mine to be honest.. my blood pressure is normal, or sometimes on the low side... The one thing I do hate is the bloating if I have a really high carb high salt day My numbers are occasionally red for sodium, on a 1200-1300 cal diet

living with a family that buys a LOT of sweet and salty snacks (meant for everyone, not any specific person unless specified - for example, softer cookies for my mom who had some dental issues) while on 1200-1300 calories sucks... but, I tend to eat small amounts of it and put the rest back in the cupboard It's hard not to…

I've never even been to a wedding.. I don't have that many friends that live close to me and the ones that I DO have are single... when I was a kid my parents either never got invited to a wedding or just didn't take me with them

If not logging - forgetting I already had a snack earlier in the day and eating another then remembering I just put myself over maintenance... Or keeping a loose mental log of what I ate but forgetting the drink that I had with dinner When I'm on vacation in a hotel I basically rely on "only meat/fish and vegetables, and…

the new Jumanji... sadly I didn't like it as much as I thought I might, I feel like the old one was more fun for me personally

my grandmother is too good at baking

when our neighbour's 4 cats hang around our house, and when I have a skype call from bed with my boyfriend and he sounds happy and laughs (we're long distance so we mostly talk/see eachother through skype)

yes, often twice.. in the morning and after my evening exercise/before bed I try not to wash my hair more than every 3rd day though, my scalp did not appreciate me washing it daily (+ then blowdrying it)

I always do it about an hour or two after dinner.. I like to get work done in the morning (I'm currently trying to finish my masters degree + doing occasional translation work), and workouts just don't feel good in the morning... I like working out then showering and getting into my comfy pyjamas.. it just kinda makes…

maybe try and weigh your food again for a while? see if maybe your portions have gradually increased without you noticing?

I went from a meh 40A at my heaviest to a tiny 30AA at my lowest weight (difference of roughly 100lbs), and am roughly 140lbs and 34A now - with 20lbs to go.. I get the feeling my chest is about to turn into, basically, just visible ribs again :( I've actually discussed surgery with friends and family before but doubt I'd…

women's clothing sizes can be so weird anyway... I can go to a store and fit into EU 38 clothes... then grab a different pair of jeans/jacket etc, even in the same store, and fit into a size 40 or even 42... (mind you the EU40-42 makes more sense, considering my hips)

That was me 10 years ago though, when I first tried to diet... once you removed the calorie dense soda and chocolate and replaced some of the bread, rice, potatoes...etc with vegetables I was left with a really low amount of calories... until I got it more balanced, anyway My (sedentary) maintenance when obese was…

140lbs I'm between 5'2-5'3 I take all measurements in cm though, we don't really use inches where I live (I do it for height/weight online because it's often convenient) bust: 83.5cm waist: 70cm hips: 103.5cm thigh: around 57cm at my smallest (around 105lbs) I had a 75cm bust, a 57cm waist, and 87cm hips... not aiming that…

Managed to stay at my normal calorie intake (last year - not so much) I avoided most of the sweets and the food with mayo that my family likes (don't like the stuff anyway), then did a bit more exercise in the afternoon than I though I would... because my family merged breakfast and lunch into one meal (which ended up…

I eat it almost daily :P I like soaking it overnight - usually in milk, sometimes yogurt, and maybe add a bit of fruit and protein powder to it

mostly moderation (I still eat small amounts of what most people would consider "junk" ) but depends on the food.. I'm a stress eater and there are a few things I'd definitely rather not buy/have in the house in large quantities

I think it's just that many of the pizza places that my family likes use *way* too much of everything, especially cheese, and it makes my mouth feel like it's coated in grease... it's also not very nice when it gets cold and there's this finger thick layer of hard cheese goo :P

pizza earlier this week.. it's my favourite pizza place because they tend to make them really thin and don't put a bunch of meat & cheese on them, and they use really tasty mushrooms... except yesterday I got way more cheese than they usually use... was a bit disappointing tbh, my one non-home made pizza in ages and it…

back in 2008 I went from something like 205lbs (highest weight ever) to 150lbs in 4 months - thinking back to what I was eating, I wasn't calorie counting at the time and I was probably only getting something like 800 calories a day considering I was consistently dropping something like 2.5lbs a week with zero exercise and…

no.. I'm bad at reading people so I often miss it... and I usually feel a bit uncomfortable - especially if it comes from a complete stranger

I can't say much about diabetes but I also have PCOS and I'm short (only about 5'2) - I'm losing on roughly 1300 calories a day are you positive your logging is accurate? you're using a scale, and not forgetting any cooking oils, condiments, little bites here and there, etc? it can be pretty hard when you have a small…

what are your calorie goals? you'd have to be overeating by quite a bit to put on 5lbs of actual weight in 2 weeks (might just be fluctuations), but you say you stayed the same for the month before, so if you're sure you're logging your food ok maybe your deficit is overestimated?

1) how often do you weigh yourself and do you always do it in the same clothes & at the same time of the day (for example in the morning) 2) how long has it been? if it's only been a couple of weeks you could be seeing normal weight fluctuations 3) are you weighing and logging all your food and liquids correctly? 4) did…
