If I slept 4-6 hours each night I would probably not be hungry, just dead... You definitely need to satisfy all of your needs - sleep, rest, and also food! If you're starving by eating 1500 kcals, try to increase it (calculate your TDEE so that you can stay under) and choose your food wisely by eating filling, healthy…

I don't really like men with muscles, I usually prefer relatively thin boys, the ones that look like they never really workout or dance or do things that require some kind of good shape. Massive people scare me. But that's just my opinion. Most girls find models good-looking while I don't. So, yes, they like some muscles,…

Aww :( sorry to hear it didn't end up fine, but if you did it once you can do it again! I'm a vegetarian so if you want to add me I'm here!

I don't know what a full body moisturization is, but though, stretch marks once they're there won't go away. You can kind of hope to get rid of the new ones, but it all depends on your skin type. I've always had stretch marks, and even though I wasn't obese and I didn't lose a terrible amount of weight I'm still full of…

I feel exactly the same, but, to be honest, I knew it all along. I knew that losing weight wouldn't have made me happy, or satisfied. I feel better than I did before, but since the self hate and dissatisfaction were almost overwhelming, I think it would have been difficult to feel even worse than that. I think I am…

You're right, it's not that easy. I'll try being on 1500 for now and 1800-1900 when mantaining, and we'll see. Thanks everyone for your help!

I've had different people on my friends list that did the same. They added me, and I didn't know anything about their eating habits, but when I discovered what they were doing I removed them. Because it's triggering, and I also don't understand what are you doing on here if you want to starve yourself. This is clearly a…

I'm okay logging in for now, but I was expecting to be eating 1800-1900 kcals to mantain, and on a long term I don't think I'm going to track my food and my exercises. When I learn how much I should eat and how much I should keep active, I'll be just trying to do the same without tracking it. I'll still weigh myself and…

Ok, so, I counted my net calories since Nov 13th to Dec 4th, 3 weeks, 1.9 kgs lost. 1302 net calories a day has led me to almost 2 kgs lost in 3 weeks. That's 0.6-0.7 kgs lost per week. How can I know my deficit at this point?

To me it looks like a big difference... because I've had 1200 kcals when I was losing weight and I know how different it can be from 1400-1500 kcals that I'm having now. When I was having 1200 I could eat almost nothing, now I can have some more calories during the main meals and more snacks. I think I'd need more than…

I put my weight in the first post, I think I forgot my height - I'm 67 kgs for 165 cms at the moment and even though I'm not thin I feel okay now so I don't feel like losing more weight. So yeah I wouldn't say I'm small, I'm not tall but I still carry some weight with me that requires energy. I used to eat 1200 when I…

I've heard they have some other methods to calculate your BMR/TDEE, like the conversion of your inhaled oxygen in exhaled carbon dioxide, but I don't know anything about it, that's why I think I'd need a nutritionist. Yes I've logged in for 1,5 years but how can this be helpful? :/

I put "sedentary" in several calculators, I obtained 1710-1910 kcals which is a big difference to me. MFP says 1800 so it's actually in the middle, I would obviously log the exercises at first but I don't plan to exercise forever, so one day I'm not going to log my normal activities...

I don't think so. I've had a look to your diary and it seems like you're out of your range for just a few grams each day. Plus, simple sugars that you can find in fruits are usually the preferred energy source for the body. You burn them very easily, and it's not like you're eating unhealthy foods, so I highly doubt a bit…

I usually log in the calories burned while walking to the grocery and back, considering that while being back I also carry the bags I think it burns a little more. I also didn't set my activity level to lightly active, I actually put sedentary because going to the grocery isn't ordinary to me even though I do it often.…

This is actually a simple and reasonable advice. Thank you! (Do you recommend me to calculate my maintenance calories with MFP or online calculators or...?)

I think the same. I really DO have days in which I don't even leave the house... but I clean the place, I do the laundry, I study, and I think that having 1200 kcals would be okay if I was a little girl - or if I wanted to lose weight, not almost maintaining.

Yeah I know that MFP is generalising when speaking about activity levels. The problem is that, if I set myself as "sedentary", on my rest days I'm kind of allowed to eat nothing. I always like to put myself as sedentary because I know that I'm going to have days in which I won't workout and I won't get out of the house.…

ops. double post.

I've had around 1400 kcals starting from 12th of November if I'm not wrong... and I lost a reasonable amount of weight for that calorie deficit. I went from 69,7 to 67,8 (as December 4th) so yeah I'm happy with the loss. It was just an unfortunate coincidence that I decided to look at my settings and found out I was using…

Okay, the only reason why I didn't want to use more calculators is that they always give different results. Example: MFP says that I should be burning 1800 kcals a day by just living. (I guess it's my TDEE even thought it's not stated). Another calculator says that my TDEE is 1914 kcals, which is 100 kcals more which is…

If you are mantaining having a piece of cake or any food you haven't had won't make you automatically gain. Depriving your body of those foods has lead you to a loss, but you need a significant excess of calories - possibly constantly in time - to gain the weight back. Having cake once in a while means normal eating so I…

That's a GREAT difference! It seems like you've even lost more than 26 lbs... you look great

Here I am! In for all the weeks I hope! Week # 1 – December 2nd - 8th -- Goal 180 minutes: Mon: 55 min walking Tue: 12 min step Wed: 60 min cleaning Thur: 20 min cleaning + 13 min step Fri: 20 min walking Sat: Sun: Total / min left: 180 / 0

Never tried it. That sounds like a blasphemy, but... I'd try it.

I think the numbers are just crazy. It's like someone picked them out of nowhere and for sure it's too much for a beginner, may it be an advanced program? I once found on a website that you could start up with 20 a day, and it didn't require squats everyday. I'm doing 10 everyday with no weights and it hurt during the…

I went to my food section and sorted the results for frequency. Top 3 was fresh mushrooms, olive oil and bananas. I'm pretty sure bananas are the ones I eat more often. I usually have 1 a day (unless I run out of them).

I'm doing squats and I started with 10 in a row... if you're allowed to split them maybe... like, 10 in the morning, 1 min pause, another 10, 1 min pause, another 5, and repeat in the afternoon, that's okay. And it could work even if you did more than 50. But how can you make 250 in a row??

IT IS. IT IS. I've never ever met anyone who doesn't like Nutella. It's probably worse than pizza. You can have a single teaspoon and feel the HEAVEN

You definitely need more time... you can't expect to see results after a week. I mean, sometimes you do, but I wouldn't get discouraged.
