Seeing as your a waist 32" and going by your 2nd profile pic....i agree with your doctor. You don't need to lose any more weight! I wouldn't pay too much attention to the BMI chart tbh.....you look nowhere near overweight.

The thing is, mine isn't very painful at all! It's just a dull/mild ache when i start running or when i walk up stairs....when i walk it's fine. I don't have flat or narrow feet either. It is very frustrating not being able to Run though, as that's my main form of Cardio exercise.

I know what you mean....it can be a bit frustrating not knowing what your body fat is. According to most online calculators i'm 28% BF - but that doesn't seem right. But i just can't be bothered travelling to get a Dexa scan or Bod Pod reading done. (I'm obviously not that fussed). Yes, post a pic and we'll be able to…

Just had this happen to me..... I'm so pee'd off! :( Really helpful info though. Thank you @jakicooke

I'm pretty good at guessing Female Body Fat - but just can't guess Male Body Fat. Try going for a Dexa scan OP, that's the most accurate BF measurement you can get.

I would freeze it and have it again a few days later. Changing your Meals daily isn't necessary at all! It is good to have a variety of things to eat, but that's not always possible for some people.

Basically, i meant not having to cook a "proper meal" from scratch. Microwaving something quickly or a quick frying of an Egg etc doesn't count as Cooking. ;) But some great ideas here Guys, keep them coming!

Yep, same as this^^. Btw OP, didn't realise Caramacs were still being sold! They were one of my favs when i was a kid. :)

Oh i see. I just presumed it would be under 1500 cals.

Exactly the same as this,.....I love maintaining! I hated losing weight - as obviously, you have to eat less food......and as someone with a big appetite, it was pretty hard for me to cut down. The key for me is continuing to log my meals and keeping up with my exercise. Without exercise, i'd only average around 1700 cals,…

That must suck! Are you very small or something?

Thank you all for your responses. After reading the info you've all given me, I think I'll continue to have rest days inbetween my Runs. Thanks!

I'd definitely choose the doughnuts! Lol No, but seriously i've been "skinny" before and i didn't feel any different to how i feel now.....it wasn't a big deal! I've always had a big appetite and if i had to choose between being slim for the rest of my life (and not being able to eat nice foods) or be bigger and eat what i…

Really? I actually feel sorry for them! Food is one of lifes' main luxuries. Imagine having to eat food and not enjoying it? Or being scared to eat? Very sad. :#

Yes i agree. The word skinny (to me) isn't the same as slim or healthy and the fact Kate Moss was the pin up girl for Heroin Chic - doesn't help matters. Plus the fact she says "nothing tastes as good....." What??? :/ As a Foodie, that just sounds Crazy to me!

Yes, i totally agree with this^^. I'm not the greatest clean eater myself (but i'm bloomin' Gwyneth Paltro compared to you Lol). Having Take Aways and Ready Meals more than twice a week would just make me feel bloated and lethargic tbh. Try making yourself some Pasta Salads that you can pre-make and store in Tupperware…

Nope. I wish it did! Lol

I agree with lseed87, maybe have your rest day midweek.

That's the thing though, you still might not lose weight from your arms and could end up looking scrawny. It happened to me a while back, when i wasn't happy with my thighs. I carried on losing weight and got smaller everywhere apart from my thighs....and i just looked awful. I ended up having to put weight back on! :/ As…

Absolutely great work! :) Walking is so underrrated.

Yep, the lifting and doubling your Protein will do it. Nice one!

Beats me too OP. I don't think i've ever eaten less than 1400 cals (in a day) in my whole adult life! And 1400 was pushing it. Lol Yet i always see people on here saying "i can't eat all my 1200 cals".

That's great! Don't get me wrong, i don't think i look terrible naked, but i just think i look better in underwear or clothes. In fact, i think people in general look better in underwear or clothes rather than seeing them naked (for e.g, if watching them on a Movie doing a love scene or something i think "just keep your…

Oh right. Lol

Does "anyone " really look THAT good naked? I think everyone will criticise some part of their body when looking in the mirror. Even Slim Movie Actors are the first ones to say they don't really look like how they look in Films. I've always thought i looked better in underwear or clothes anyway....regardless of how Slim &…

Huh? :|

Yep, similar to what happened to me after i had Pizza Hut the other night. It's kinda put me off having Pizza for a while. :#

I sometimes do 15 mins of HIIT after lifting. Not sure it's the "best" cardio to do, but i normally do it because it gets my heart rate up and it's only 15 mins. ;)
