boobs are made of fat, so boob size matters less in body weight than bone/skeleton size or muscle mass.

http://scrollseek.com/training/densitiesofdifferentbodymatter.html Does this help?

I don't know how much weight natural boobs or implants add.......I don't think they add that much. I really don't know. Maybe the breast augmentation sites give an indication of the weights involved? People with the same height can have hugely different skeleton structures, ie, maybe people with barrel-chests wearing a…

Also, we mirror the people we surround ourselves with. If you're surrounded by a family of obese people who force high calorie food on you and criticise exercise, working against that is hard: having to justify your choices all the time is hard. You're going against the grain of your surroundings. It helps to find another…

This!! It's the companionship and support of sharing goals and successes.

@MauiCinnamon - thanks for your advice. I think you're right: I've started being less strict. I've also cut out the high calorie foods such as peanut butter in favour of bulkier foods. Fingers crossed. : ) By the way - great name.

Sense check: I'm healthy, I'm strong. The discipline I'm exercising at staying below calories and maintaining IF will stand to me; my callasthenics will help me create a strong healthy body so my 90yo self will thank me because she's limber and strong and still able to walk and dance. Big picture. So the scales is annoying…

Didn't work: scales still moving upwards. I don't know why. I'm under calories, I have a deficit every day, exercising every day, macros good, eating clean, drinking lots of water: yet, the scales is moving upwards. The measuring tape is staying the same, but since I have a calorie deficit, I don't know why this isn't…

@renaegry : I'm the same. I'm under calories, and yet, the scale is stuck or else moving upwards. My exercise is ok, eating clean, calories low, macros good, drinking lots of water, yet the scales is going the wrong way. I've tried being very restrictive and changing my macros and types of food eaten, that didn't work…

Peeps - I’m at a plateau. I don’t know what’s wrong. My macros are good, calorie deficit every day, am under calorie goal, no food after 6pm Any suggestions? I’ve never been on a plateau for so long before when I’ve been following the plan. I’m ALWAYS hungry. This is crazy. And yet, I’m not losing. 👿

@renaegry - what a day! Inspirational. Thanks for posting. @fairestthings - welcome.

I usually have spinach in my smoothies also. And disguise the taste with fruit.

@Astrid_Vervoort - that smoothie sounds vile.

I made bread. I smells amazing. I’m hungry, but resisting - it’s 8pm here this evening and I don’t eat between 6pm and 8am. Countdown.

@kiay131982 - congrats on logging everything. Everything else will fall into place. That image of you ‘going full pirate and necking a full bottle’ is hilarious. I can see you in a bandana with hoop earrings.

I’m aiming for 125 also. I’m 5’5. Was down to 127 in dec, before some family stuff went wild. So I’m on the way back down from 134. I’ve taken inspiration from your persistence and particularly from the changes you made to your exercise and diet. So this week I’ve totally changed things up. Fingers crossed I can more back…

I’m back on track also - thanks so much peeps.

@kiay131982 good luck with your day!

1. Victory- haven’t eaten anything after 6pm for a week. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 2. Challenge - exercise throughout the day 3. Encouragement - finding recipes for easy and low cost recipes

@amusedmonkey is correct. I'm coeliac, and allergic to corn/maize/sugar/pears/apples/grapes and random other stuff. If I eat any of those foods, I feel awful. Keep a diary of what makes you feel good and what makes you feel bad.

I've noticed a difference!!

also - 100 squats every day

p90x30: accelerator - the cardio HIIT workout. 30 mins cycle outdoors 10 sets of 100 jumping jacks throughout the day, every hour on the hour

@kiay131982 - I am in awe of your self control. Amazing. @renaegry - 20k steps!! that's spectacular. I'm become swamped with work and projects, so am much more sedentary than normal. To combat that, I'm doing 100 jumping jacks and 10 L-sit exercises every hour on the hour to get the heart rate up. There's another…

I managed not to eat this evening after 6pm........I'm commenting here instead. WOOHOO!! Thanks folks. I was due to start a new job soon, but it's fallen through due to Covid. Back to the drawing board and interview on Friday for another job. Please cross your fingers for me.

Riverbank cycle. 30 mins.

Cheers. Thanks for posting.
