The McDonald's came after you succumbed to your disorder and starved yourself. All of our cravings would be impossible to ignore after a mode of starvation. I would recommend that you make and pack simple meals. When you're hungry you eat those and you won't have any cause to stop at the closest food place (which will most…

Advocate of both. Doing both strength training and cardio, however, you will have to change the way you eat/what you're eating. I hope you are not just eating what MFP recommends for 1/2lb a week weightlosee (i.e. 1200 calories) or this "plateau" could be serious metabolic damage from eating so little. If you're going to…

That's 5lbs a month... 1lb a week - totally doable! best of luck to you!
-
Woooo! You can do it!!! That's 7.5lbs a month - 1.9-1.5lbs a week. I'm joining the THIN by THIRTY goal. I have 26ish lbs to lose and turned 28 this past May.

Woo!! Hey ladies (haha) Congrats to everyone on their weightloss/continuing with making a healthy lifestyle Fellow shortie over here at 5'1"-5'2" Last I weighed myself I was up from 141 to 147.5 (was fluctuating in the 150s before) and trying to get down to the 120s. My focus is mostly on heavy lifting with some cardio to…

I agree with everyone stating that this isn't something that you can start and then finish - it is for life. Your profile states that you've been trying to lose since 14 and are now 18 with some rough spots during this four-year span. There's nothing wrong with setbacks and most people have them. A large part of this is…

So awesome!!! Way to go!

It sounds like you have tried very hard to find different activities for him to do...... where is HIS trying!? I think you should talk to him - reiterate to him that this is HIS life and HIS journey and, unless he is paying you, it isn't your job to find things he'll like to do to get off his butt. I'm sure he'd say…

keep going OP!

How do you know when you should stop losing weight.......... I would say that this is up to the individual, right? Are you happy where you are at now? If not then you can continue to lose... maybe don't focus so hard on it.... exercise for the benefit of it versus to lose weight... if you know what I mean. Congrats on the…
-
If you're using TDEE then you ignore net calories as those exercise calories are already factored in to the daily amount. If you're just using MFP then I would eat back some calories.... honestly, 1200 calories a day sounds low but if it's working for you that's good......... wouldn't eat that low forever though. 1200 is…

Congrats! You look wonderful. Best of luck on your continued weightloss.

15lbs in 2 months sounds like you're losing weight... what you're currently doing is working. Weightloss, despite what many claim, is specific to the individual. Cutting 3,500 calories from your diet is the basics... it is individual choice if you want it all to be from your food or if you want some of it to be burned…

5'2" 144lbs calves 15in thighs 24 29%bf Think in general women are bottom heavy - gotta protect the baby

Hoping to do this in July - seems like $50 is the cheapest for an obstacle/mud race. I also would think it depends on your experience.. I would think they wouldn't be AS fun if you ran it yourself.... but seems like, from all the videos I have no experience, everyone has a blast and is inclusive to everyone else running -…

good question! I have a rice maker too... doesn't have fancy settings but curious if I could cook quinoa in it. Have never been able to get it right on the stovetop
-
Hey OP... checked out your profile... not sure on recovering folks with eating disorders but feel free to add me. I love giving support to MFP friends on here who need it. I'd recommend you friend fit4aprincess as I know she has experience with eating disorders. She's training for a bodybuilding competition as well. :-)…

Congrats on losing and keeping off that 30lbs! That is a big accomplishment. I feel like the trick is finding the perfect balance between clean eating, not so clean eating, and exercise. You'll get there!

Trollololol. If you aren't a troll maybe you should spend less time on MFP forums worrying about how people portray their opinion and more time "toning"
-
If her maintenance is 2223 as you said then 25% deficit would be 1780. I would advise you eat at that on days you aren't working out. On days you ARE working out I would say eat over that... between 1800-1900. I was just suggesting 10% as a start if you're exercising hard. See how you feel and if you're fine increase the…
-
You are confused because the idea about eating a tiny amount to lose weight is so ingrained - it is not the case. If you are exercising then you cannot live on 1200 calories, frankly I don't know how anyone does WITHOUT exercising. These formulas will give you the range in which you SHOULD be eating to maintain. You factor…
-
trollolololol has to be at a 10% incline when you jump on that way you won't fall off. not srs. If you can't get onto it while it is in motion then stand on the belt while it is stopped and use the arrow to increase the speed little by little

Don't understand the folks saying this is bad. Peanut butter, especially the kind with pieces of peanut, tastes delicious with oatmeal. I mix in my chocolate whey protein as well... often also a banana - I eat this everyday and I'm never tired of it. Fills me up for hours and I feel like I got a cheat by eating peanut…

You are not alone. We're all here... struggling and triumphing on this journey to a healthier us... a healthier life. This is not just a physical battle/struggle but it is also emotional. None of us got this unhealthy overnight.... and we won't be able to get better over night either. Positivity I feel is a major tool for…

resistance bands are not terribly expensive backpack filled with stuff... heavy books... canned goods, etc. that bodyrock tv thing has good at home workouts

LOLOLOOL'd at the fat doctor comment... still chuckling

elevator ~ ski lift would get cold would you rather get caught stealing or flashing?

spelunking.. edit: lots of posts since I was typing mine. thin - we're all alone in the end anyway would you rather live to a ripe old age and have several medical conditions or only live to 55 but never have a serious stay in the hospital
