How long have you been eating at a defect? Maybe try eating at maintenance for a couple of weeks and then going back to a deficits? As far as easy way to add calories, how about smoothies with fruit, avocado, cashew butter, etc.

I’m type 2 ad I think this question depends greatly on what type of the beetus you have.for instance I have a friend who’s type 1 who has zero tolerance for fasting -probably because her body can’t produce insulin. Meanwhile, I, a type 2, have no issues with it. I usually fast 6pm -12 pm so my feed window is 12-6 pm. I…

It may just be your shape. Big thighs aren’t always from having too much fat.

Hey Amanda feelfree to add me. I have 120 to lose :-)

I'm doing 12 PM - 8PM as my feed window. It's actually really good for me for a few reasons: 1- it makes sure i don't stay up too late past my bed time 2- i like having a meal that feels like a meal, and my first meal of the day usually is quite substantial 3- i'm prone to disordered eating. i don't really have an "off…

Hi all!! I've been a member of MFP for a while and had great success at one point, but you know.. life happened and a bunch of excuses. I'm now 277 pounds and have around 120 to lose. A big part of that is health but also there are quality of life concerns that are kind of knocking at the door.for instance I love to…

we have a guy like that at my gym. we had a run in a few months ago because he had a towel on the lat pulldown machine. i moved the towel and was doing a set when he came over and started talking to me. at first i pretended i didnt hear because of my head phones. then i took them out. him: excuse me. i was using that. me:…

i want to know who these savages are who rack a 45 pound plates in front of 10 or 5 pound plates.

wear a skirt or dress.

dandelion greens or dandelion tea works really well. it's gross but i let the tea cool to room temp and chug it. the greens are better if you like bitter veggies. they can be taken raw but i find i have to eat far too many to get the same results from 2 tea. i used to have fairly bad water retention at the end the day…

i think dinner and beyond sounds like a much better store than bed, bath and beyond

from what i understand if there's calories in it then it breaks the fast

i'm doing 16:8 and this is the start of week 3 for me. feel free to add me . this feels more natural to me.

i started 16:8 about 2 weeks ago and I just added back exercise. at the moment, i'm exercising at the end of the day/near the end of my feed window. so once I'm done i still have an hour left. next week, I'll be moving the workout to the beginning of the day 6 hours before my first meal, so that should be interesting. so…

Good luck! i just started 2 weeks ago as well and I can honestly say so far I'm loving it.

i just started 16:8. Since my first meal is at 12, mon-fri i eat whatever they have at my work's lunch. There's a salad bar so i always have a ton of veggies and whatever protein they offer that isn't beef. My hardest meal is the last one though since my feeding window ends at 8 PM and I'm usually barely able to make it…

doing actual workout gym stuff : anywhere from 30- 60 minutes. doing other stuff like stretching, jacuzzi, splishy splashy in the pool, steam room, etc can be additional 60-90 minutes

i think there's definitely some shenanigans that goes on with some people either they don't want to admit to themselves the amount of food they eat or they simply don't know how much calories are in things they eat. I have a friend who's larger (taller and weight wise) than me, and almost 15 years younger and she swears…

i prefer sprinting but i'm getting over a knee injury and horrible lung capacity. I've been working the HIIT in the pool via pool running. I basically do 15 seconds of all out high knees and 1 minute of slower treading to catch my breath.

i'd just log it as strength trainng

This is great news! I look forward to getting of my meds as well. How long did it take for you to completely stop using the meds? Was there a point when your doctor reduced the dosage or did you all of sudden stop?

Get a snorkel thingy. I used to be really good at breathing but completely forgot + i'm in worse shape than when I was swimming a lot which makes it hard to get the breathing down. I just ordered a snorkeling kit to breathe normally when i swim, then when i have better lung capacity to breathe out slowly then i'll just…

Me. I'm not injured from running but I gained a significant amount of weight and running really hurts my knees and ankles. What I do now if run in the pool and other aqua training that way I can still go through the motions without it hurting my joints

Feel free to friend me.I'm just starting out. I have 120 pounds to lose. i probably wont make that goal until 2019 :-D

Things I learned in this thread 1. MFP gives away kittens 2. Scotland actually has sunny days Seriously though, I'm sure other people have said it run shirtless if you want, don't make other people's issues your issues.

i would honestly suggest speaking to a therapist. you seem to be focused on changing things about yourself that you can't change. you should probably first start understanding why you have those feelings about your body in the first place.

swimming and water aerobics

your feet can expand during runs. some show brands are worse than others (ie nike) when that happens because they tend to be narrow. for those, i just order a half size larger

see a doctor and if you have access to a pool, try pool running. it's awesome. you still get the cardio benefits but it's little impact (if you run in the shallow end and can touch the bottom) or no impact if you can do it in the deep end

any machine you are seated should work. I broke a middle toe several months ago and had to use things like bike, swimming and weight lighting machines where i didn't have to support my weight
