I lived that way for 13 years. I stumped everyone, inluding my doctor. Everyone would say "but how can you be fat, you barely eat?" My dr figured I was just binging in private and eating excess calories. I hadnt eaten more than 1000 calories since I was a teenager, and was scared to eat more because that would mean weight…

My bad. I think I'm confused (so very tired). Forgive me!! I guess dividing it amongst the other food would be logical :embarassed:

I've eaten over twice in 2 months. Both times at BBQs.

Ok, it doesn't evaporate, but why does all the oil go into MY chicken and not any of the other 5 pieces I'm cooking?

I think it's logical to have to count some of them, but I question counting ALL of them. I mean, I put a tablespoon in the pan, swirl it around until it's just a sheen on the pan. How much of that oil is actually getting soaked into my little piece of chicken? In this case, doesn't at least some of it evaporate or stay on…

I weigh almost everything. The only thing I dont weigh is my salad.

I eat some or all of mine back. It depends on my net calories (I eat to go over 1200), and if I'm actually hungry.

You should put your stats in the MFP calculator. It will tell you how much you need to net in order to reach your goal weight.

I'm losing weight while cyclng. I use my bike as transportation as well as fun, and pack my groceries and toddler on there and go for a few hours. I cycle less than 16mph (I have a four speed street bicycle...typical of Dutch bikes....they dont go fast) but I make sure I'm using my legs to go as fast as I can. Even though…

You need to plan your meals beforehand. Find combinations that will give you your base daily calories. If you exercise, then add in small meals or snacks. Example: I need 1480 calories without exercise. So for bfast, I eat around 300 cals with a hot grain cereal, whole milk, honey and some fruit, plus some coffee with milk…

There's a post on here somewhere (helpful, right?) that said that when people are maintaining, they will gain water bloat. So either lose more weight and gain bloat until you're at the weight you want, or accept it :). If its not water weight gain, fiddle with the calories until you stop gaining weight or exercise more and…

Eat them back if your net calories are under your daily allotted calories. I exercise a lot and if I didnt eat back most of my exercise calories, I'd only net between 300 and 800 calories a day. Not enough! So I eat until I come to my daily allowance of just under 1500. And I'm losing weight nicely.

How exactly does removing labels protect consumers? It only protects the corporation that is selling it.

How I ate so little: I have anxiety related to food because of things that were drilled into my head as a kid, mainly "eat less, exercise more". So I ate less and exercised more... And everytime I gained weight! I ate less ad less. I got used to eating very little so I was never hungry. I try to eat 1500 net (mfp…

I'm using MFP because I needed to see how much I was eating. Net, I was getting about 500-1000 calories a day. Even with a snack.

I have a snack every night. I either adjust my calories or exercise more to fit it in.

I used to do exactly what you were doing, when I was a teenager. What you really need to do is deal with your emotional pain, to combat the emotional eating. See a therapist and then a dietician to get back on the healthy track before you start counting calories. Good luck.

5'7" 275lbs Bmi 42 I wear size 16/18.

10 years ago, I lost 50 lbs and I didnt see it until I was 50 lbs down. Everyone else saw it at 10 lbs but I couldnt.

If I'm hungry, I eat breakfast. If I feel shaky, I eat breakfast. Most of the time, I'm not hungry, then I just drink water and coffee until lunch.

Agree with all the above advice. want to add: Inner thigh fat can also be genetic and might never completely go away. Avoiding getting burned by the chub rub can be as easy as applying anti-perspirant and then powder, or wearing pettipants or bandelettes or something.
