Just ask for water, or tea, or sparkling water, nobody will think it's weird for you to turn down soda, at gatherings I often turn down drinks completely because I'm not thirsty.

you really need to see a doctor, could be any number of things, all bad, like a tumor, hernia, cyst, etc. etc. it's definitely not fat because it doesn't distribute like that.

You don't look too skinny now, but you do look thin, so I think you look great right now, it's hard to say how you would look at 120, it could be a huge change in which case I think it would be too skinny, but it might not be that drastic. Go on how you feel, are you happy, are you tired all the time, are you eating well…

My big meal is dinner, and I will be over calories, not too many I don't think, but way over on fat, but I currently have had a muffin (gf and vegan 130 calories) a piece of toast and some fruit for a healthy breakfast, not really going to have lunch, maybe a nonfat greek yogurt, and I'm going to run today, I'm going to…

i have a crease if i lean over or slouch but not when i am just standing straight i have a line i really don'y like separating my stomach from like my pelvic area even though it's pretty flat

thanks everyone, just living in california and going to the beaches there you can get really self concious

well i'm not overweight, and I'm in good shape, and eat healthily, so does anyone have a more definitive answer?

i've had anorexia and depression and have anxiety and PTSD at a good size now, don't pay attention to weight because I obsess, just trying to get my body to look the way I want it to.

at home quite good, at school not quite good, sometimes i have salmon, but fish at school is kinda iffy haha. Would omega 3's help?

Okay, so I'm going into my 2nd year, and my first year at first I gained a little bit of weight (not a lot, just so my clothes fit a little tighter than I would like) so I just stopped getting so much food at the dining hall and cafe and stuff, didn't drink as much, and made room for the things I wanted, like booze on…

big blue eyes

Yeah, I felt a little better after starting the meds, but I still felt tired and just icky until i went gluten free. But from what i've read there does seem to be some link between hashimotos specifically and the gluten free diet working together well so i can't say how it will work with no thyroid and stuff but it's worth…

how do I fix that?

I'm 19 with hypo (hashimotos) and I take levothyroxine. for me it came on very sudden and i quickly gained like 20 or 30 pounds but once I got the right dose and went gluten free I was able to lose all the weight, and then I started new rules of lifting and started getting a body a really liked. There's a group on here for…

I am drinking a lot of water and trying to eat more healthy now. The thing is, I know the creases aren't in my head, they're there and they weren't, can that happen just from bloating?

I think the mirror lies but not to make me look way skinnier usually, usually bigger, and a lot of dressing room mirrors make me look bigger than those throughout my house. and pictures vary a lot for me whether I think I'm smaller or bigger. As for feeling average sized, depending on where you live and who you're around,…

most entries on here and nutrition facts on meats and things that need to be cooked are for the weight raw. so i weigh it raw if I can and if I can't I try to figure out the weight it should be cooked, not do like 4 oz of chicken cooked. Some entries will say cooked or grilled so you can use those. If not, just try to…

how do you know which entries have the most confirmations? And for things like rice we always cook a big pot of it and so when I want some with a meal or something I have to weigh out the serving and it's already cooked. for things like fruit I include the pit in the weight

I like logging the night before when I can so I don't have to think about it during the day but can still have a really good day and have good percentages for macros and stuff and if I forget what I was going to have i can just look back and check quickly and nobody has to know I'm like "counting calories" or whatever…

They were like meant to be high waisted not "mom jeans" the high waisted is a trend haha

If you looked at my food diary you'll see I eat a lot of sauteed veggies and chicken, I cook these in olive oil, so I do get some fat this way I just don't log it because it's hard to say how much it is, I just use enough to keep everything from sticking. I have been eating a lower fat diet lately though (not really on…

I'm not married, but i've never cheated on a boyfriend and never would. what is your favorite drink as a treat (alchoholic, coffee, soda, whatever you consider a treat)

when I'm in very rural maine and work in slightly less rural New Hampshire the closest thing to a good tea shop is starbucks.

I have been eating more when I'm still hungry and not worrying about going over my calories a bit, but I feel it would be easy to go over too much, so the question here was not only why, but also what to do, how can I know how many to eat, the activity level adjustment on here wouldn't help, anything else?

Yeah if I knew i wasn't going to crash it. Would you rather have candy or chocolate?

I have it as sedentary and I DO NOT go by what MFP suggests, i manually set my calories and macro goals doing my TDEE minus whatever I want to lose or something and put those calories in and then do 40% 30% 30% for carbs fat and protein. so changing the activity level on here wouldn't help, my calories are already at or…
