Health-wise, perhaps. I would not look at you and think of the word "obese." I think it's not a good thing for your health to be obese, and overweight in general. Is it bad in the sense of self? Absolutely not! It doesn't make you a bad person or any less worthy of anything anyone else is entitled to. At the end of the…

If they are staring, it's probably because of the fact that there's a girl there AND you're using light weights. Doing such light weight with so many reps isn't going to get you very far; I recommend going heavy and you'll get more optimum results. With that said, don't give a DAMN about what others think :) If you want to…

To each their own ;)

hahahaha If you're thinking of the material world :P I prefer love, to be honest =]

What about it? :)

^ impossible; I have a perfect boyfriend and he is very existent ^_^ The perfect boyfriend is a mirror image of you. He will not exist if you don't exist the way you want him to be. Essentially, you have to BE your idea of a perfect partner to find the reciprocal of you :) In my case, he is kind, sweet, romantic,…

There is absolutely no need to apologize; we are all living different, crazy journeys and sharing thoughts, opinions, and support is what we're all here for :) I think you need to think of all the great things that you have and can do. It's never too late to change your lifestyle <3 Whether you end up losing 300lbs,…

If seeing a professional isn't something you'd do, or can do at this point, the second best advice I could give you is don't weight yourself and don't track food! It can be a huge trigger to see how much you're eating and weighing. Personally, I developed binge eating habits years ago, but due to tracking my food intake on…

You should seek professional help. I know what it's like, but you have to remember it's all within your power and control, sometimes we just need guidance and of course support. Think of your HEALTH rather than how you look. You are stronger than you think, and throwing up will only hurt you. Remember that every time you…

^ Those comments are mine! lol Just clarifying :)

Amen! :)

Don't worry about it! It's not your fault! We're fed to believe that women should stick to running and yoga and band resistance training ("light" weights) and leave the squats, deadlifts, bench press, or any heavy lifting to the men because we'll get "bulky." It's all lies. We're not built like men; and it's even hard for…

"Bulky"..... I despise that word -_- Zumba is just cardio; I do it all the time. It's super fun and I'd really recommend it ^_^ You will NOT get "bulky" from it; that's ridiculous >.< That irrational fear is the reason a lot of women don't weight train. Please believe me when I tell you that unless you take artificial…

Mine has gotten a ton better just from squats and deadlifts! :) I have been lifting for about a year, but only squatting seriously for 2 months and it's gotten so much rounder, plumper, and tight! I had SO much trouble with squats for a whole year! And it took me that year to figure out my form and do a lot of mobility…

My opinion is that it's only a good idea if you have, say, a garden and use compost :) Then you could place the pulp in your compost bin and not waste it! Otherwise, I think the pulp left behind has vital nutrients that would be worth consuming. So unless you have a compost bin or some great use for the leftover pulp, I'd…

Well, you shouldn't increase to 1400 or 1500 in one day; that's when it's really likely that you'll gain weight.But you most likely should increase your caloric intake! I would recommend increasing calories slowly :) Maybe by around 50 calories every 2 days until you get to about 1350. Then I'd stay there for about 2 weeks…

Congrats!!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Jason Blaha's fullbody 5x5 novice program for weight training :) You'll make a lot of progress if you eat well, and looking at your diary I think you're right on track! I love to see all that protein, by the way! ^_^ You're doing GREAT! I'd also recommend seeing other videos by Jason…

Amen!

Don't to anything to "make up" for that. It'll only make things worse. Just move on and keep eating well and you'll be fine :)

Omar Isuf has multiple channels on youtube, one being for women :)

^ I completely agree! Anyway, MFP is designed so that people eat at a deficit, so any exercise you do "earns" you more calories to consume. That's just how this site works, but you can choose to eat at maintenance calories and not eat back calories from your exercise :) Hope this helps!

You're definitely eating WAY too little! You're going to mess up your metabolism if you keep that up :/ Looking at your diary, you surprisingly don't have many carbs! I would recommend eating more fruits and vegetables, and maybe some oats (or oatmeal), quinoa, beans, or rice for more carbs. Your protein intake seems great…

Breakfast is the meal that "breaks the fast" of sleeping, therefore it's important because it refuels your body after fasting through the night of your body recovering and rejuvenating itself. So it's good to have something nutritious since your stomach is empty and your body lacking fuel from repairing itself in your…

19 here! :)

I have so much respect for you <3 You're not weak for feeling that way; you're so strong for stopping yourself! I actually was going to go into the kitchen to get some junk and eat more than I need. Thanks to you, I've convinced myself it's not worth it. I used to binge until I was sick, and I still do so sometimes (not…

I don't know anyone who doesn't feel the same after a binge. I always feel upset, disgusting, fat, ugly, unworthy, discouraged, weak, overwhelmed, frustrated, EVERYTHING! It's a vicious cycle, but don't try and make up for it; it'll only make things worse. Trying to make up for it will be more restricting and could more…

jajaja Yo hablo español, aunque me comunico en inglés en MFP

I'm 5'2! I lost a lot of the weight I wanted to get rid of, but I still have about 10-15lbs to go :) And I've been struggling with binge eating, so feel free to add me. A message would be greatly appreciated with a request, so I know you saw me on this thread :D Good luck, all of you beautiful ladies!

You should look more into it! There are lots of great YouTubers like "OmarIsuf, Brandon Campbell, and Bryce Lewis" (just to name a few!) who offer great advice on what to do, how to do it, why to do it, EVERYTHING! You should definitely add lower body exercises such as squats and deadlifts, some shoulder exercises such as…

It depends. As I always do to everyone, I recommend strength training for your entire body so you can maintain muscle and not be what I refer to as "fat skinny," meaning you're thin but saggy and flabby. 3lbs/week might not be too much if you're just starting and you're extremely overweight, but only temporarily. Most…
