depending on how wide your hips are this may not be a healthy possibility. Are you pear or hourglass shaped? If you are than it could happen, your hips are further apart than someone with narrow hips.

for me a splurge day means i stay under but I can eat things like pizza and mac n cheese

i wear spandex shorts that go down past where my thighs rub together and I dont wear underwear. just gets in the way.

I think its clear that some body types are predisposed for certain things. My best friend is thin with long legs and she can run much longer. I have naturally huge thigh muscles and I can beat her in a sprint any day.

age 20 5'1" body fat % : 27.94 body fat : 40.23 lean body weight: 103.77

talk to your provider about non hormonal birth control! feel free to ask me any questions about this I have lots of experience facilitating birth control discussion !

my ex felt the way your boyfriend feels and I gained 40lbs in that relationship. Do what makes you feel sexy and he will love you for it. (on a side note, I have lost 30 of those lbs and I still hang out with my ex, he is very into my new body )

this! im not a fan of boca but i love sunshine and any vegan black bean burgers, especially if they are spicy

THIS !!! Thank you for posting some sanity. it may sound cliche but it obviously still needs to be said over and over!

thanks! this is helpful. my body fat percentage is 25.8 %. That seems like so many calories to eat though! I am only 5'1"!

haha yea sorry typo its 2196

Yess! This is exactly what is happening to me! I started out at 1200, working out 5-6 days a week and its slowed wayyyy down. I have started doing more strength training and the inches are coming off a bit but Im still at least 20 lbs away from a healthy weight. I recently calculated my BMR at 1417 and TDEE at 1296 but im…

Are you getting fit for men or for yourself ?

Ok i have a different problem, my thighs get bigger when i work out! Does anyone know how to reduce muscle size! haha

for the past 3 months mine has been saying ill be around 130, and am not any closer now than i was in feb.

For every calorie you burn MFP lets you eat it back. Its just going to take some time to see what works for you! keep asking questions and people will answer. WARNING: this is a very controversial topic on MFP, 1200 calorie discussions tend to bring up a lot of strong opinions. Most are valid but just remember that…

also orgasms burn calories and get your heart rate way up :)

i used to and it made a small difference but now its just like yess i have sex and a calorie burning bonus!!! but i dont log it

carbs and they way they are produced and marketed in this country is a whole different ball game.

I see it in your back. Thats where it started for me as well, and I didnt even notice because we are not usually as used to looking at our backs.

Im 5 1 and 145 lbs (lost 27 lbs). I hardly ever eat over 1200. I work out A LOT and I usually feel great. When I dont its usually due to college lifestyle issues of staying up all night and drinking way too much coffee. Occasionally if im in a bad mood I eat a little more because i tend to get low blood sugar. For the most…

the carbs will make you fatter!

also its important to note that BMI can also make mistakes the other way around, by assuming people are unhealthy due to muscle mass. I think im pretty much over BMI hah

He probably associates calorie counting with unhealthy starvation eating habits, most people do. Doctors are trained to look out for that when they see weight loss. Explain to him that you are also counting your nutrients and ask what he suggests nutrition wise. Despite what some of these comments say, doctors actually…

yea listen to your body! why does everyone get so mean and touchy about this!? If people feel good with the amount they are eating that is great!

Just to play devils advocate for a bit, I lost nearly 30 lbs eating under 1200 every day. It was not very hard for me, it feels like the right amount for my body. (till recently that is, it changes when you get closer to the goal weight) I didnt lose anything until I randomly decided to stop eating cheese. For some reason…

Um, I gained the freshman 45 !!!! It happened really fast, second semester of my freshman year. between winter break and spring break. For me it was a hormonal imbalance, a relationship with a fast food eater, and going on the pill. It took forever for me to get control over my apathetic attitude towards what I was eating.…

I recently took a break from all this to try to get out of a plateau, which is the risk of eating less than 1200. Sometimes I eat chicken, i prefer chicken to any form of dairy if Im going to eat animal products. I suggest nuts! (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches !), avacado, lots of seeds on salad (sunflower seeds are…
