maybe i will try upping my calories by a hundred every few weeks just to see what happens but i’ll start that once i reach 9 stone 13lbs

i genuinely thought i was eating enough cals that’s why i was confused bc i’ve lost more recently while eating more in comparison i tried to really restrict in july and hardly lost anything. i want to eat more bc i like food but i’m just worried incase i eat too much and then not lose anything and i’m honestly not sure i…

thank you but it’s more 1,400cals on the days i don’t workout and 1,500 - 1,600cals a day when i do and i never used to do that and hardly got the urge to i over eat

it might be because i buy low calorie snacks like fiber one 90bars and then eat them in moderation and then all of a sudden we by t to eat them all i want to stop buying them until o reach my goals but it kinda comforts me having them in the cupboard idk why

i feel like 25lbs is still a long way to go but now when i go the gym i allow myself to rst 1,500 if i want to but before i never used to do that and like i said i found it so easy to stick to 1,300-1,400 i just want to lose 4 more pounds to be within the 9 stone catagory. i think if i was properly under eating i would…

also will the excess calories help with muscle building since i’m focusing on strength training? idk trying to look on the positive side

basically i’m just stressed because i’m not under eating but still have the urge to want to eat

i don’t think 120lbs isn’t that unrealistic. maybe start new exercises like strength training and lowering your calories slightly to break the plateau and the weight on your thighs, hips and love handles is probably coming off at a similar rate as the rest of your body it’s probably just because you’re more focused on that

it’s not as sore as it was early so i think it’s just because i’ve never worked that muscle as hard as i did on monday with the squeezing of the fluted with 115lbs on the leg press machine i’m not sure if that’s bad

i meant this in the way that it’s not that serious to the point that i would have to see a doctor

i’ll just leave it then and hope that it goes away

i do 40 mins of cardio when i’m at the gym sometimes 50

i’m not that fussed about looking like i have muscle so it’s fine i do it bc i know it’s beneficial and it m at kew my body look more defined even after workout out

i think it’s a tiny bit of fat and bc at that point i didn’t go to the gym for 3 weeks (2 weeks of that in quarantine) because since going to the gym got only 3 days my body is back to how it was and even better than it was now that i’m more focusing on weight training which is probs useless since i’m not eating in a…

you can get oil spray that’s 1 calorie per spray and i recommend it

if it’s not moved in a while then you’re probably eating more than you think you are

then don’t read them. there’s no need to be rude

oh i didn’t know that that’s helpful thank you it’s probably water weight and a tiny bit of fat gain from overeating but not a lot since jeans fit now and i also forgot that water retention can happen anywhere in the body and the types of foods i was eating was also a factor

i was just confused bc my thighs are bigger (more noticeable in person) and my butt too which is a sign of wait gain) but my weight is lower and i fit into a lower size clothing that’s why i’m confused/made this post and in 5 foot 5 or 5 foot 6

i meant to say size 10 uk jeans

actually come to think of it it could just be water retention because if i did gain lots of fat that made my thighs look bigger (more in person) then surly i wouldn’t fit in a sizer smaller jeans? does this sound like a good explanation? it’s only day 5 of getting back track and the water weight is dropping a lot idk how…

i think it’s more obvious in person idk

sorry this is annoying i’m just stressed but it’s really noticeable in my thighs and butt which i’m not that mad at i’m just mad at myself really but i’ve been back on track this week and went from 146 to 143 within this week

i’m just asking because i wasn’t expecting to lose weight while i was bloated. i don’t feel like that’s disordered i was just shocked/happy and my relationship with food isn’t as bad as my posts make out to be and i post a lot because i’m bored/interested/have questions

she’s not an acquaintance we talk about weight loss a lot and i thought she would understand the facts since she’s lost weight

you’re right but like it’s just so annoying

the workout dvds that i love doing got too easy so i started to incorporate hand weights like 3 weeks ago and now my strength has improved quickly too!!

i’m 5 foot t and i want to be 115-125lbs

wait i didn’t know this i thought it was only in the stomach and the scales

and i understand that fluctuations are normal but i’m sad that it hasn’t gone down but i’m thinking it’s bc i haven’t had a bowel movement in a few days?? (tmi sorry)
