I really wouldn't worry about it.

You can't worry about what does and doesn't make your dad proud. People generally don't think like that, I'm proud of the people I love for a million reasons and I wouldn't think more or less of them based on their employment or their education. I'm sure you are the same. So why would your dad be any different. I would…

23 is still very young and you have plenty of time to get into college. You need to focus on the future and keep focus on the fact that the fitter and healthier you are in your body then the fitter and healthier you will be in mind. You'll also be more confident and dynamic and you will make new friends. You are absolutely…

She's an anorexic eating 700 calories per day including ice-cream

Yes, you need professional help.

Walking or swimming. They will help but it's controlling your intake of food that will make 80% + of any difference to your life

Wow, really. How are your "visible hip bones". Your posts are just anorexia porn

Attention seeker :yawn:

Ah, I see. Hmm

You don't put on 50lbs by not eating more than your TDEE. It's not magic.

You must be eating more than you are estimating.

In about fifteen minutes

For what purpose? It's not fat and it will regulate itself if you drink a sufficient volume of water to remain properly hydrated. Are you really that bothered about what number is on the scale when you know full well that it's not being increased by anything other than water?

If you don't drink sufficient water then your body will retain the limited amount that it has.

You need to up your breathing by at least 50% otherwise you'll go into asphyxiation mode

When people run a marathon they don't all cross the finish line at the same time. There's an infinite number of factors why we don't all end up exactly the same in any endeavour.

It's because your identity is currently not 'that' person, not the fit person who works out. Same here. It's hard but you just have to push through the mental barrier. Only you can do it, and you have to grab it by the scruff of the neck and just do it. No thinking, no posting, just get out there. Your motivation has to…

The best time to do it is the time that you are doing it. The important thing is to do it.

Don't try and lose it quickly. You are eating way too little for a sedentary person, let alone for someone doing workouts. There are a million threads here that explain in detail the safe, healthy way to lose weight. You are not unique so just follow the straightforward, simple advice. There are no magic bullets. Work out…

The activity is great but to see results you need to be focusing upon what you are consuming and ensuring that it is below that required to maintain your current weight.

I set it to 2 and, in practice, it's been 1lb. That's ideal and it saves me having to obsessively weigh and measure everything until all joy is sucked from it.

No it isn't, although some are doing their best to make it so. The site is called my FITNESS pal, not my hectoring, one-dimensional calorie counting bully

Ultimately, what difference does it make what you log? The only thing to concern you should be whether you are enjoying your evening out. Just exercise a modicum of common sense whilst there and don't consume a vast quantity of food and alcohol. Your body will "log" the accurate impact and, if you take a longer term view…

My inspiration is in the cemetery, about 6 feet down. It's a long term, lifestyle change you require so falling off the wagon should be viewed as just a blip, unless you are constantly over eating. It's not a game and you can only cheat yourself, and your loved ones, of the better future you envisage. The ultimate truth is…

I don't worry about it.

Seek professional help

Too soon. Your initial 5lb wasn't fat. Have some patience and re evaluate in a couple of months.

Yeah, stop using facts you'll confuse the Hulk

Yes, but the extra calories arising from the slow walk are surely those used by your brain for thinking and your guts in digestion etc over a the longer time frame. You are going to burn those whether you were walking or not.
