Thank you. I am going to cook more at home, portion my own food, wear a heart monitor all day once just to see, limit my celebrity bikini body viewing time and lift weights a little more, as well as actively combat those mean little voices in my head.

I know you are right, that's what is so stupid. I KNOW better, but its a stupid insecurity inside me. I don't even "intellectually" buy into it...but then there is this little voice that does that is like "you're gross."

no and this is what I am afraid of...it's stupid! I am almost 34 yrs old and dont know what a normal body is! I never really had issues before, I was always realllly little, like a size 0, now I'm a size 4/5 and I'm beating myself up. I never dieted, I always exercised a lot, bc I like it, it makes me feel strong. It's so…

I do have access to a gym.

Thank you, you guys are kind. I will look into the suggestions. I know a lot of this is in my head. I really appreciate your kindness to a stranger.

According to me, I am. But I could be horrible wrong, which is frustrating. TDEE is @ 1600 I eat at 1300.....according to my logging.

thank you. I go for a 50 minute walk at 3.0 miles an hour every day. I do Bikram yoga 2-3 times a week for 90 mins and a high impact aerobics class with weight training for 1 hr at least once a week.

i recommend using a heart rate monitor to see what you're really doing.

interesting. I am coming to that conclusion too.

greek yogurt with kashi lean high protein cereal.

I found bikram caluculators online and they said i burned @ 855 for 920 mins. I wore a HRM and i really burned 476....I was super bummed about this. Im 5'3" and one twenty something lbs

so far i have been doing it for about 5 months about 3 days a week and not even one pound of loss. the only other exercise ive been doing is walking and of course watching what i eat. i suppose i was taken by the claims, that it would burn fat and increase muscle. i have gotten stronger though but not visible muscle…

give it time to let your body adjust, and take beano.

Quinoa, almond butter, bagels, spaghetti, protein crumbles, soy milk, fake meat products

I LOVE Spirotein....tastes good

ok, thanks....someone said i was in "starvation mode" including my Dr, and my BF% is @24%....and i did lose muscle...:(

You could drink Ensure...its a high calorie drink with a lot of nutrients. You can get it at the drug store by the supplements. It helped me with this. Good Luck.

i hate it when instructors stick to the script and say all the stupid "bikramisms: like the Japanese ham sandwich one or pulling is the object of stretching, and instead put it in their own words that are more helpful and make more sense.

it has made me stronger, but no weight loss. been doing it regularly, like at least 3 says a week, for 5 months.

The only thing i am doing different is eating less calories by tracking them. I know i eat ice cream and pizza but i eat moderate portions, as i have my whole life. and I'm definitely going to consciously eat more protein. Pasta actually has a decent amount of protein though. I might start eating quinoa for breakfast. Also…

http://nutrition.about.com/od/askyournutritionist/f/processedfoods.htm i noticed a few people cited "processed foods." I only buy whole grain bread and cereal, get brown rice when i can etc. I barely ever eat chips or anything like that, never american cheese or lunch meat...so I guess I'm not getting what is meant by…

wondering the same...???

thanks. i drink a lot of water and exercise like at least 5 days a week. i feel like the weight gain started AFTER i started counting calories.....may be i do need to up the calorie intake. and i will start eating less sodium....

thank you but what carbs arent the best?

i dont snack at night. my biggest meal is dinner though. i also went over my sodium allowance @25% of the time in the last month. thanks for your comments everyone.

the yoga i do has a lot of isometric strength training. Think i need to lift too?
