I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

Thank you guys! Your answers really helped. I guess I should definitely try to make it more challenging! Nutrition wise, I'm on a balanced diet 60-20-20. 20% of protein may seem not enough for most people, but cutting my carbs is a no no, it's a matter of mental health for me (I'm Italian, I can't give up pasta and pizza.…

Hey Joe, first of all congrats for be healthy again. I can somehow relate a little bit. A few years ago, after recovering from a car accident where I could die, I become depressed. In the process of "going back to normal" I almost dropped from school and gave up on everything that I considered important in my life before.…

added you! :) thanks a lot ! you should teach me some tip to resist of the pizza temptation!!!

Thank you everybody and thank you @matti for your words, it was very inspiring! I could completely understand what you felt when you were back with your family, that happened to me as well. And the fear of not putting ourselves out there again, blaming it on the weight gain. That part about the clothes also felt so me, I'm…

added :) thanks

anybody? :smile: Just came back from the school trip in Italy and ...I don't need to explain what I ate I guess!!!

thank you, that was really helpful. Could you tell me what app did u use to calculate that? I am actually 29! :) I typed it wrongly the first time

Oops...did I write 21? I don't know if I typed it wrong or if it was just my inner dream. I am 29. :D Thank u for the answer, that is close to what my fitbit app says, I guess I'm doing it right then.

Yes, I know, I said it wrong in the first message. I meant that my BMR is low, of course the number that I gave u is not maintenance but calories burned just breathing :) Ok, I'll give you some numbers: age: 21 height: 150 cm weight: 48kg goal: 47kg my BMI now : 21.9 :) I'm in the middle of the green healthy weight :)…

Guys, please, do not panic :) I am not anorexic or anything. I have never had any eating disorder. What I gave you is my BMR calculated by my nutritionist doctor, not me, in a well-know and serious clinic. Of course exercising my calories intake will rise. Apparently I have a slight thyroid dysfunction, but since is not…

ahahah I'm also always dreaming about macarons <3 uuuuh lovely

I must check for these low fat ice creams! thanks guys !! :D

Oh gosh. Cheesecake is my fav!!! <3 I hope they'll sell that in Italy....*__* tomorrow is supermarket hunt!

cannot wait to try all the things you suggested! ^__^

Never been thin in the first place but a bit chubby, after I got into a serious relationship I got from playing tennis 3 times a week + swimming 2 times from playing tennis only on Sundays and with a big meal at the tennis club restaurant after...Basically for almost 5 years I was eating like the sporty girl I wasn't…

Real coffee lovers don't put ANYTHING in their coffee otherwise you won't taste the blend and any coffee would be the same...just saying... espresso with no sugar is the only way. and yes, I'm Italian and we do it better :D

I actually have a % of body fat as a real goal but something that might be very helpful for you is look for a friend or someone you know that is the same height as you and has the body that you want. Then ask her how much she weight! :) but consider that you might add a couple of kilos to that if that person is not sporty…

Any cardio activity (but running and walking for which I have a fitbit zip) I log it under "high intensity/medium intensity (general)/low intensity aerobics. I asked my coach at the gym and he suggested this system to evaluate my intensity (which can be different depending on your commitment or efforts even while doing the…

thank you for the comments :) I'll try to concentrate more on the life changing experience and less on the calories counting :) I am still afraid of these high calories food (I don't trust myself to be moderate) but I'm getting there. :)

Thanks for your answer, actually I did a lot of self reflecting these days...I was struck by lightening. Tomorrow is gonna be my weekly weight-in. I'm trying to prepare myself mentally not to see any difference on the scale (because I have my period now) but I won't guarantee my heart won't drop if I see I gained. ç__ç…

thanks for all the suggestions ^__^

I need some extra motivation and support to get through my challenging next month...I would like to join :)

It's been a month now that I'm active on MFP. What I love the most is starting my day reading the encouraging comments of my friends and leaving comments to them. It's all about the love <3

thanks :)

Need to go down 3 more kg and then I'll finally shop for new jeans too! *__*

Guys please stop fighting we are going out of topic :=) I feel responsible since I started the post. Thanks for all your replies, now some things are clearer in my mind 1 The exercise database gives me more calories than those I actually need, I seriously need to be aware of that. 2 I need to set my activity as sedentary…

mmmm the thing is, my BMR is super low (1180 cal) so if I eat those hard gained 300 cal a day I won't lose any weight! I was just wondering if it would be helpful to eat them once in a while, meaning if eating that would increase my metabolism in the long run even if I'm not losing weight eating them

I also just started :) please add me as well http://www.fitbit.com/user/27GBR8

I always thought that muscular arms are sexy in a woman. Sadly, my family keeps criticizing my efforts to get in shape saying that I will end up looking like a lesbian. O__o And sadly they mean this joke in an offensive way. I'm straight but this is not the point, I have no kind of sexual orientation prejudices whatsoever.…
