I stated working out in March... (before I'd occasionally go for a walk/do a youtube yoga video), this is the middle of March vs today - the weights are only 1lb apart
-
stuff like lettuce and "average sized" tomatoes, sometimes. I usually still have a rough idea of how much they weigh (just from the label) but with my salads it's like a 10kcal variance which evens out once I finish the container anyway
-
I've been between (i'm gonna go with lbs vs kg for convenience) 205ish lbs and 105ish at 5'3. I was *technically* not underweight by BMI but I'm not a small frame, I had loose skin that made some parts of me look bigger, and I was very physically active, you could count my ribs through my shirts and I was in XXS clothes.…

I'd also maybe suggest fitnessblender, if you go to their website you can sort their youtube workouts by difficulty and filter it to "low impact"

this is just the last 3kg, but it's the first time I've worn the same dress since december last year

Do not store your fruit syrup next to a same shaped bottle of pumpkin seed oil. Noone needs super concentrated raspberry drizzled over their beans/onion/tomato salad. Also shoutout to my mom storing salt in a glass jar labeled "Sugar". My banana bread came out salty as heck

honestly? nothing, eat my "normal", do my normal workouts. Any spike in weight from the extra food/carbs/salt is gonna go away within a couple of days

personally, I've seen my weight fluctuate as much as 6-7lbs day to day depending on time of month, what I ate the day before and... uh.. constipation... or a combination of all 3... and I'm roughly 5'3 and 126lbs atm... if you're aiming for a small deficit a weight spike on the day of weighing yourself easily covers up any…

also, if you're wondering "can I see any results from this", I've been doing probably at *least* 50% of my workouts from fitnessblender past few months and this is my upper body from april 10th to july 1st. I do own 2 pairs of adjustable dumbbells
-
I was diagnosed back in 2012, I was advised to do low carb but it made me feel too sick to function so I aim for "moderate" amounts of carbs now, I just try and keep my overall kcal within range and I exercise regularly. I'm down from 205ish lbs at my heaviest to, currently, 126-127lbs at (roughly) 5'3. Still get hit with…

breakfast: rye bread with peanut butter and coffee snack: 30g wasabi peanuts lunch: roast potatoes, a bit of pork roast, tomatoes, a glass of wine dinner: some salmon and a bowl of grapes

i'm a bit sore and I have an important exam tomorrow (been learning German for job seeking purposes), so only a 20 minute yoga with adriene video for me today
-
Their videos are probably half of my workout playlist, they have some variety. I like that there's no music and they don't spend too much time talking. I've been following them past 3-4 months
-
anyhoo, I do a lot of fitnessblender, they don't use any background music so you can use your own and I like that they're not the super chatty types (personally find it distracting sometimes if the person in the video constantly talks - apart from instructions). I also throw in stuff from popsugar fitness, madfit, hasfit,…

omg, thank you, I've been looking for plus size friendly workouts to show my mom, she's in her mid 50s but has had hip replacement and other issues, so pretty much all of my workouts are completely inappropriate for her
-
I've done both her 30 day shred and the ripped in 30 thingy before (I still throw it in here and there for variety), I never noticed much of an added weight loss from it, I was also trying to eat at a deficit to begin with so I still lost (I don't think it burns all that much for me at least - I'm also short and not…
-
I've recently discovered that in tops/dresses, apparently around 58kg (my current weight), I'm still in, I think, roughly a size 10 for trousers/jeans because I'm pear shaped. I'm also fairly short (159cm). Honestly I wouldn't even worry about this kinda stuff, everyone carries their weight in different places and some of…

I never cut sweets *entirely* out, even when I was on 1200 a day. I found that the less I ate of it the less I really wanted it over time though? Like, I still enjoy the occasional ice cream or piece of chocolate, but it's not a daily craving. Imo nothing wrong with having something sweet here and there, mind you - I did…

I combined a late breakfast + early lunch and made a pizza (ketchup, low fat mozzarella, prosciutto, hot peppers, and an egg on top), then had a green bean and tomato salad with a little bit of yogurt dressing for dinner, plus a small apple and 2 cups of coffee (no sugar)

fruit juices and some full fat dairy products (my family says they prefer it but 1) I don't think it tastes any better and 2) it tends to upset my stomach... + it's like 2x the calories of the low fat stuff)
-
ok, in theory you could speed up the process by increasing the deficit (aka not eating stuff back), but other potential issues aside why make it harder than it needs to be if you're already given numbers that should give you a sustainable rate of weightloss? (hungrier, more tired, etc)
