Anytime in the next few months, if you're maintaining a consistent calorie deficit. But you should never give up, no matter what. This is a process.

I would do some strength training, in addition to cardio, especially for your upper back and core, starting out gently, and using very strict form. I always hurt in the neck, shoulders and back if I stop strength training. The very best exercise I've found is the hollow body hold. Going to the doctor is a good idea, of…

Sturdy and fit is beautiful, and I bet that you'll find you're more willowy that you think.

The short women you talk to must not like cardio. I'm short, and I love cardio. Having a low TDEE, I like burning a few more calories, and getting to have another piece of cheese.

Fret not. I can 1.5 pounds in a day, easily, just from variable water retention, and it took me about 8 weeks to start seeing results.

Let's start with what went right with your wedding. You're married, so both of you showed up, and that's an excellent start. I didn't even want a wedding when I got married. It's too much stress over one day that has nothing to do with the success of the rest of your marriage.

Get enough sleep, and do your healthy routine before you feel motivated to do it. Exercising makes me want to exercise. Sitting makes me want to stay seated. It works the same way with eating habits.

To be fair, the poster you're referring to never implied that he would be ogled. I remember the vicious things that people said as teenagers. Some people don't want their kids to have deal with people snickering about their dad's paunch or nudist tendencies.

This, precisely. It's why I use the medical scale at the gym.

I don't care what other people choose to wear, although I think it's always more dignified for a man to wear a shirt in public, unless you're at the pool or the beach, no matter how good you look. Little boys can go shirtless. I started keeping my shirt on when I was about 7. I'd give boys at least until age 10.

Not nonbinary, just wishing you the best!

I'm a Christian too, and I like everyone.

Fats are considered essential nutrients, as is protein. There are two fats, linoleic and alpha-linolenic, that you need, can't synthesize, and can only get from your diet. I don't know what the daily minimum requirement for fats is, because I'm sure that I exceed it on a daily basis. However, I do restrict my fat intake,…

Both are pretty ridiculous.

Technically, the proposed Italian law, according to my reading of the article, penalizes vegan diets that result in malnourishment. So if the child is thriving, regardless of diet, no one is going to jail. The law would worry me a bit because children can have absorption issues, like adults, and it seems possible that…

I love taking vacations from the internet.

Protein and fat are essential nutrients. You can survive perfectly well without any sugar that is not naturally present in low sugar foods like vegetables. All other concerns aside, protein, in particular, contributes greatly to satiety. Sugar doesn't.

Protein keeps me full.

If I were willing to be handcuffed to anyone for 48 hours, yes, but, but.....could we try an hour and see how it goes?

We all have different ideas and ways of expressing how we reach our goals. I do it forming habits. I work myself into a deep groove of doing what I need to do, and then I feel like doing it. Just wanting the reward at the end doesn't motivate me or cause me to dedicate myself. Ironically, making myself do something that…

I wasn't eating keto when I lost most of my weight while hypothyroid. I did cut back considerably on carbs to lose weight, however, and I've never gone back to the my pre-Hashimoto's-diagnosis high carb diet, because I've felt so much better without the carbs. I also haven't needed any medication adjustments. It's purely…

I was just going to suggest Wellbutrin, too. You might be able to cut back on Celexa if you take both. Another option you have is to try Lexapro, which is the pure E isomer of Celexa. Celexa is the same drug, but also contains the Z isomer, which is considered inactive, and which some people feel causes more side effects.…

I think she's in the healthy range, and that she's made a healthy choice. I suffered from an eating disorder in my teens, and I'm the last person who would disrespect this woman's choice by second guessing it, or insinuating that she should could or should achieve whatever the shape is that other people consider "healthy."…

I'm finding that I want more than 1450 calories a day no matter how I split them. :(

I don't weigh myself very often, however I track my waist measurement closely, along with the fit of my tightest jeans, which aren't very tight at the moment. I can see the value of daily weighings. I only weigh myself on the medical scale at my gym, and I'm not at the gym at the same time every day. My weight fluctuates a…

Everything I eat is something I like, unless it's something I'm trying for the first time. I feel like all I ever eat are treats. I have things like a piece of cake, a pastry, or a serving of ice cream about once in a month. But I like cheese as much as I like those things, and I have cheese nearly every day.

You could switch to water, start having your coffee unsweetened, or both. It's not complicated.

I have no idea whether intermittent fasting actually helps fat loss or not. Having two satisfying meals a day and feeling full is more enjoyable for me than having more meals spread out through the day and always feeling like I'd like to eat something else.

This depends somewhat on whether you're male or female. Healthy body fat percentages are higher for women. There's a rough chart in this article. http://www.humankinetics.com/excerpts/excerpts/normal-ranges-of-body-weight-and-body-fat

The posterior pituitary releases anti-diuretic hormone when you're dehydrated, and the adrenal cortex releases aldosterone, which helps you reabsorb sodium and H2O, so yes, when your blood volume gets low, your body hangs on to all the water that it can. You don't really store it up so much as conserve it, by inserting…
