I know what you mean. My family and friends comment a lot and say I'm too skinny and should stop losing weight now. I know it's because they care about me and are just worried that I'll develop some eating disorder but it's still very annoying. Especially since I know they can look at other girls skinnier than me and still…

This sounds like Orthorexia nervosa. "Orthorexia nervosa (also known as orthorexia) is not mentioned in the DSM, but was coined by Steven Bratman to characterize people who develop an obsession with avoiding foods perceived to be unhealthful. Orthorexia nervosa is believed to be a mental disorder. Bratman claims that in…

Any body fat scale or calculator is inaccurate because it's can't possibly know how much fat, bone and muscle you have. If you want to know then I suggest going to a gym and do a caliper test. :-)

Thanks for the pic! You look great and not too skinny at all in my opinion. :-) Good to know that I'm not the only one who needs to weigh less to look my best. :-)

I skipped meals and almost always ate processed and fast food. Those weren't the biggest factor though, I ate chocolate everyday.. About 0,5 kg per night easily. I can still eat enormous amounts of things I like. I guess that's what's called binge eating.. Plus I didn't work out at all.

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly but I do believe in frame sizes. I mean our bone structures are different and we'll look different even if we're the same height, weight and muscle mass. You can look at two people that are the same height and weight but still look so different from one another. You could say it…

I agree. I do want to have a goal weight as well though since it helps me stay motivated. My goal size is to be a US 4 (I'm a 6 now) and have a 23-24" waist (25.5" now). For me those are more important than my weight but I believe I'll accomplish all those at a weight of 115-118 lbs. I used a calculator that said with my…

I think we're in the same boat then. I also do have muscle mass and visible muscles so I'm not a mushy 123 lbs. Still I know I would look a lot better at 115-118 lbs than 123 lbs. For larger framed girls they won't need to drop so much in weight. I kinda envy those who are my height and weigh more but still look slimmer!…

Yes, I know but trust me, I have very wide hips, (38") and without the extra fat they wouldn't touch.Yes, I'm at a healthy weight but not where I want to be body fat wise which is more important to me than the scale. I need to shed the last pounds of fat. :-)

Good to know that I'm not alone to aim low. So many people here freak out because they immediately think you're unhealthy lol. I'm also a bit pear/hour glass shaped. My ribs are visible but my thighs still rub together at the top...

I'm 5'6" and currently 123 lbs. Bust: 32DD Waist: 25.5" (Goal is 23-24") Hips: 38" (Obviously where I carry most of the fat) It seems like 90% of the girls my height and weight are much tinier than me so I must be very small framed..

My contribution: 26" waist, 38" hips.

Awesome results! That's what I'm aiming for! Now I'm even more sure 18% is a perfect amount of BF! I can't wait till I get there!

No one willing to share a pic?

I'm like that as well. I always have the same breakfast and lunch but try to vary my dinner a little but I mostly eat the same. The only times I eat something new or different is when I go out or eat with my family. But it works for me and after eating the same thing a thousand times I still enjoy it. xD

I took it when I first decided to start losing weight. I wanted it as a boost to get me started and motivated and it really helped me. I lost a lot of appetite so I ate less which was good for me because I didn't exercise so I didn't really need to eat what I was eating. I also got more energy and didn't suffer from…

Here comes big hips and thighs.

I actually read about this phenomenon in a fitness magazine. It's not even that rare. I'm kinda jealous. Nothing would stop me from exercising if that was the outcome lol :bigsmile:

Age: 23 Height: 5'6" (168 cm) HW: 183 lbs (83 kg) SW: 160 lbs (73 kg) CW: 125 lbs (56 kg) GW: 120 lbs (54 kg) or 18-19% BF. Any twin is welcome to add me. :-)

I know what you mean. I'm there myself. My goal has changed many times along the way.It's because I have specific goals, like that my thighs no longer touch anywhere etc. I think it's okay to change your goals but be careful so that it doesn't continue like that and you'll never be satisfied. Maybe think of what you want…

Megan Fox. :bigsmile: Yeah, right!

I think the only options you should consider is either giving the cat to someone who can take care of it, or put it down. I think declawing is animal cruelty and so is leaving her in the wild. Most indoor cats don't make it. I think that many cat owners are treating their cats wrong when they play with them with their…

I'm happy to say I believe it's right now! Eating good and exercising most days of the week! :-)

You guessed right! :bigsmile:

30?

Hmm, doesn't sound good. 1,500 the other days? Wow. It's not worth it. If I was only eating 500 for 2 days, I'd want to INDULGE a lot the remaining days hehe :bigsmile: Otherwise, what's the point?
