Just by using the search function at the top of the board (I'm on desktop, not mobile). I was a little surprised that you can see that the mods have that one moved to the hidden forum--there have times that I have been following threads that seem to be heading towards getting locked and I get the permission problem warning…

If it's the second one here--the mods have locked it, but it looks like there is a new thread (the first one):

I have a digital scale that weighs in 0.2 pound increments. I am losing but I am within 8 pounds of my goal so it's slow going. I make sure the scale is level on the tile floor before I weigh myself, and I step on 3 separate times for 2/3 consensus to record weight. I use the Happy Scale app and record my weigh only first…

I'm 5'7" and this is where I like to be, too--I feel strong enough to workout, light enough to run easily, my clothes fit well, maintaining here isn't too bad, and I don't mind how I look in photographs. I do hear from my mom that I'm "too skinny" though.
-
By BMI standards, yes, but if it's less than she weighs now then it's still a pretty decent goal...

Depending on what your goals in the half marathon are--will having only 3 days of running per week be enough? Just something to think about... Hal Higdon does have a training plan that incorporates lifting into a 3 day running schedule, but he does caveat that if you are new to lifting your should probably wait until after…

Guinness is my favorite "diet" beer too--it still tastes like you're drinking beer and not beer-flavored water.

Most leg cramps are idiopathic, but still worth mentioning to your doctor. As mentioned previously, magnesium supplements may help. Gatorade or Pedialyte may help.

So funny that this came up again today... nearly 3.5 years later I am up to 142 lbs after having ACL/meniscus surgery/physical therapy and stress-eating through getting our only child through senior year and off to college. I was actually up higher but empty nesting has allowed for a lot of time to take care of myself…

Have you considered that being over-restrictive might be the cause of your binges?

When I wore a chest strap hrm I made sure it was super snug and wore it directly underneath my (bombproof) bra strap. Never had issues. I've moved over to a strapless one now--Garmin Fenix 5S and couldn't be happier. The only time I have to wear a strap is if I care about my heart rate when swimming.

Depending on how fast you lost your weight it may take your body and mind a little bit of time to catch up with your new normal... Your body--as in skin tightening up--and your mind--in getting accustomed to seeing your new size...

Sugar--just less of it (though I do drink Diet Coke on a rare occasion).
-
OP, how old are you? I just checked your post history and 1) you are already underweight and 2) you have a flare for the dramatic in all of your posts. Have you checked in with a doctor on your weight loss goals lately?

It's a little early for weight-loss related acne as you have only begun and likely most of the 4 pounds that you have lost is water weight. However, estrogen is stored in fat cells and upon liberation (fat loss) it can cause acne flare-ups. For me this happened at around the 20 lbs lost point.

Kind of. My husband and I are empty nesters and are both working on losing some weight right now. During the week is easy because we have a defined schedule (work, gym, dinner at home), but weekends are a little trickier because we run errands, do work around the house, watch some college football... By the time dinner…

I usually keep a range of 3 sizes in my closet--my current size, a few things from the next size down, and a few things from the next size up in case I have a lapse. Anything else gets donated.

If you are having an adverse event, then you need to report that to either the doctor who prescribed it, or the pharmacist who filled the prescription.

I think it helps to be aware of tendencies and your mental status. I have a history of eating disorders dating on/off back to the 80's. I've been here since 2009. I know that I have the ability to get sucked in and obsessive about eating/exercising so I'm pretty careful about paying attention to the signs of falling down…

Especially since she eats way more prepared foods/restaurant foods than fresh fruit...

You should print out your food diary and take it to your next doctor's appointment with you... I'm thinking you might walk away with a referral to a dietitian...

I wish I ever had an extra 400 calories lying around on a Friday night!!!
-
I'm so jealous--my handstand is terrible and it stresses me out. I guess that's why they call it a practice--maybe if I commit to doing it every day? You all might be the kick in the (yoga) pants that I need...
-
Like nearly everyone else, I also find it easier to watch my calories and lose weight by limiting alcohol. The bonus factor is then you become a very cheap date with lower tolerance and you are kind of forced to drink less (or throw up)!

Your physical therapist isn't able to give you "safe" exercises? I don't have experience with rotator cuff--I've had knee issues--but my physical therapist has been able to tailor my rehabilitation to my personal needs (I'm a wee bit driven and so my rehab is a little more aggressive than an average patient). I'm lucky in…

Spread it on Biscoff cookies--or as I call it, "cookie on cookie crime" :D

Are you sure that it's water weight? Does Lean Cuisine really have more sodium than the Subway, Noodles and Co. and McDonald's that you were eating previously???? Edited to add: I just took a peek at your diary--Holy Sodium Batman!--everything you eat has tons of sodium! Were you eating this way before you started…

Listen to your doctor or get a second opinion from another qualified medical professional. BTW--protein in urine isn't usually related to dietary intake unless you've done kidney damage with said diet.

We have a TRX, a Kickr (bike trainer), some kettlebells, a Bosu and some other plyo accessories... We still belong to a gym but the majority of our workouts are done outside (cycling/running/skiing/snowshoeing).
