A few years ago I had some blood work done to test for anemia but it came back negative. My doctor said my blood was all good and everything was normal. A friend of mine who's a pretty avid runner said she'd gotten bruises from what she assumed was running on an incline before, so I just always assumed that that's what it…

i would love to take a day off from the gym but if i don't i tend to get incredibly stressed out about my eating and my diet and i feel horrible about myself if i haven't done some form of cardio that day. but i will definitely try and drink more water and get more fiber. i'm slowly going to make the transition from frozen…

you make a great point that i won't be living off of lean cuisine for the rest of my life haha. thank you so much for all your help!

i will definitely try this! thank you so so much!

i've generally been eating the exact same meals, lean cuisine, salad, cereal. same measuring cups, etc. i have even taken away calories, like i generally eat a salad with my dinner but i've taken that away and started exercising for ten more minutes 3 times a week but all i've seen is weight gain... i have been honestly…

Thanks guys! I will definitely look into getting a scale. But the most troubling thing about this is that I've been working out more and eating the same that I did since I was losing weight those first three weeks but all of a sudden gained weight... I've been tossing and turning instead of sleeping for a week now trying…

I do know that the calories burned are generally over estimated and I always mentally subtract at least 200 calories each time I log a turbo kick class, depending on my intensity for the day. When I run, I used the calories estimated on the treadmill itself, because it's always at least 50 calories less than what MFP said.…

I would be focusing on separate body parts each day. I tend to only do legs on one day and arms on another because I absolutely hate chest, back, and shoulders haha

Sure, I'll open it now! Btw, if you're wondering when you take a peek, today looks super crazy compared to other days because I was told to try consuming more calories closer to TDEE-20% that was calculated. It was actually really difficult to eat that much today

I'm sorry... but one week for what?

I guess you could say I'm a cardio addict? Haha. Actually I legitimately can not live with myself if I skip out on the gym. I'll beat myself up for it all day and I'll hate myself and feel really unhappy, so I have to get myself in there for my mental sanity haha. I'll try and tone down the intensity of the cardio and see…

I will definitely look in to seeing a dietician, I was just talking with my mother about seeing one. I had one when I was going through my ED but once I got back to a healthy weight again, I stopped going. I realize now that I could probably solve a lot of my problems by seeing one. Thank you!

I must be overestimating caloric burn. I have been doing the same exercise regimen for about a year now, but I've recently added in three more days of cardio, upping it from 4 days to 7, and adding in the stair master in place of the treadmill to give my knees a bit of a break. But I just found it really odd because I lost…

Thanks for the advice, I will start using a tape measure to monitor progress! And the article really helped, I guess I'm eating too much? Or not burning as much as I thought? This is a really frustrating topic for me, and I'm doing tons of research on TDEE-20%, but my TDEE-20% would be about 2,100 calories which, I 100%…
