Body dysmorphia is far more than just feeling a bit unconfident one day or having a fat day.

I think its a bit rude to ask someone how much weight they have lost. I would just say I have been counting calories.

Also today for example I burnt 265 calories in 45 minutes, it just doesn't seem a lot and that is going by the mfp calculator, and I keep reading these estimates are generally overstated. So the theory is then I should be on track…

mlinci - that's why I asked the question as written down it does sound way more, I think I am just having a hard time with it as I don't feel really active. I feel pretty unfit and also manage to get a lot of sitting in. Oh I did lightly active as lifestyle and then I have been adding the cardio in as an entry. This gives…
