I personally don't focus on a specific body part per session. I go to crossfit sessions about 4-5 days a week. We focus on different lifts everyday and it has been working well so far for me.

Have you gotten bloodwork done? Just to rule out any underlying issues.

The nexplanon implant was actually one of the ones I chose not to get. I have the merina because it's not systemic, they did talk to me about the nexplanon implant and I decided against it because it would conflict with other medication I was on. But despite what birth control you are on you can still lose and gain weight.…

Calorie deficit

OP needs to see a therapist. This seems like an Eating Disorder paired with and OCD. OP shouldn't be getting advice from the internet. But no, OP, this is not normal. Go get professional help.

The pills are a gimmick. Count your calories ACCURATELY. Your body does not defy the laws of thermodynamics, weigh your solids and measure out your liquids. You could have been eating at maintenance. If you're eating back exercise calories that MFP gives you, only eat about 50%-75% back, the site overestimates by a lot.…

Given you do not have a health condition, if you are really only eating 1200 calories, then you would be losing weight. WEIGH your food and log consistently. Measuring cups are not accurate for solids, only for liquids. Also, if you are eating back any exercise calories and are using MFP to calculate those only eat about…

You need to eat below maintenance to lose weight and above to gain muscle (while lifting). You should lift either way, especially if you are in a deficit to preserve lean muscle mass.

It is similar to amphetamine, derived from the class phenethylamine.

Usually this medication is to be taken in the morning to avoid sleep problems and you work your way up if you are on a large dose. You also don't usually take is more than a few weeks, it's a short term medication. But your doctor will tell you about that. You also risk withdrawal symptoms if you just stop completely. With…

I looked into that diet a while back and did my own research on it, basically you would be spending too much money for something you can accomplish on your own. The coffee bean are not anything special and don't promote magic weightloss. Count your calories and stick with that. But if you really want to buy into it, go for…

5'7 with a goal weight of 128 and 16% bodyfat. It's low but do-able.

That's not surprising. You digested food. Especially if you ate foods that are easily digestable.

^^^ Yeap.

I love ted talks videos!

But in regards to OP, I did do this diet for a bit. But I'm also on medication (that is NOT for weightloss purposes) that has demolished my appetite, so I need to remind myself to eat regularly. But for the amount you need to lose, it's going to be difficult either way because you don't have a lot left.

Thank you!

I would say try it, you don't need justification from people online because half the time when people post something on the forums for opinions they just end up doing what they want anyways. If you think you can stick to it, try it for your experience.

It's because you are eating at maintenance. You need to be eating at a calorie deficit which is what is required for weight loss. Recalculate your calorie goals then go at it again. Very little weight loss happens at the gym, most comes from your diet.

Measuring is not accurate for solid foods. I don't see the difference between measuring out your food the rest of your life or weighing it if you're talking about lifestyle. A lot of people do it. If you find you are still gaining you might have to bite the bullet and get a scale. Inconvenience or not. The problem being…

Cut your calories. You are eating more than your body is burning. It's not the pill.

I thought that I would never be interested once in college, but you should try it at least once. If you never had a sip of alcohol, I hadn't when I entered college, you probably won't like the taste. Try it for the experience, have fun, you're only in college once. If you really don't like it, then you would know for sure.…

Honestly if you do get any, it will just take time and patience. Some of it will go away, maybe all of it. You won't be able to fill that whole area with muscle, muscle is more densely packed than fat, it would take a lot. It's also near impossible to gain muscle on a deficit. But you should be lifting to preserve any lean…

No, you are also losing some lean muscle mass.

Most of these scales measure with a current and that will take the shortest route which is why it is not accurate. But as others have mentioned, try a measuring tape to track progress. If you are interested in body fat there are inexpensive calipers that you can use yourself on Amazon. Not the most accurate method but a…

Hey... I know that guy, very good info

Is your dietician actually licensed? Or are you seeing a nutritionist? There's a difference.

Eating healthy doesn't mean anything in terms of losing weight. It's great in the long run but you can eat healthy all you want and still gain weight. Weightloss is a calorie deficit. Your body needs to burn more calories than you are putting in. Log all your food, weigh solids and measure liquids, and be cconsistent. If…

Start by logging accurately, weigh your food. If you don't know how much you are actually eating then you can't contribute your weight to just coming off the pill.
