Uhhh see a doctor? That's probably the best thing to do.

dw, I think his fedora is just a bit too tight...

He probably owns a fedora too...

Your body doesn't store fat unless you're eating excess calories, so that's how you got over weight, not because your body 'didn't know when it will get more'. If you're struggling to meet your goal, look to more calorie dense foods like nuts, avocado, oils, etc. These will help bulk up your numbers. You will lose weight…

Are they actually, or does she just think that? Have you taken measurements? Whats most likely, if you're losing weight, is that your hips just appear wider because you've lost less weight from that area than others.

Losing inches is good! Weight loss can easily be effected by normal fluctuations and fluid retention, which is why many people suggest using measurements as a more accurate guide to see your progress. To me, 5 inches (AND 5.5kg) in 8 weeks is awesome progress and I don't think you need to change anything.

Your profile says you struggle with binge eating. I suggest seeking professional help.

Maybe they thought it was cancer, tested, and found out it wasn't? The number of times Dr's think I have a tumour/cancer/miraculous conception...

My suggestion is, given you still felt uncomfortable with your thighs when you were underweight, is to talk to someone about it. It may be a matter of how you're seeing your body, rather than how it is. Aiming for something which may only be attainable through unhealthy measures is definitely something you want to try and…

Difficult, but not impossible. That being said, dependant on your body shape, 'slim' thighs may only be possible when you're at a very low bf% or have lost significant muscle mass in your thighs.

I'm torn between saying no and saying HURRAH JUNK FOOD TIME!

Do you weigh and log the foods you're eating? Have you taken measurements as well as weighing yourself? Please do not stop eating, it is not the solution and can easily lead to long term damage to your body.

Your calorie limit is too low, the minimum for a female is 1200. And yes, you should be eating back your calories burned.

Because it's delicious and delicious foods are bad for you.

This. Please seek medical attention.

I'd love a treadmill desk! I always do my best thinking when I'm on my feet and moving around, but that's hard because I'm in IT too. Maybe I'll cross my fingers for a standing desk, just for a start :laugh:

High salt intake is linked to numerous health issues, not just for your heart but also your kidneys, stomach, bones, hormones, etc. Excessive salt intake can't be counteracted by more water either, you need to physically cut down on the amount consumed. Weight loss isn't connected with salt intake (it can cause water…

I log the weight without, since I assume the USDA info I use is based on the edible parts only.

:indifferent:

You should be eating back your exercise calories from your fitbit, the adjustment is the point of merging it with MFP. HOWEVER, your fitbit display shows a lot of green steps, which mean it thinks you're running/walking very briskly. To me, I'd look at adjusting your stride in the fitbit website, otherwise it'll…

Not saying boobs but...

For the first month: attention All time after that: to be left alone Also known as why I'm still single :bigsmile:

I have scars on my stomach which I didn't even know were there until I lost weight. I think stretch marks look cool anyway, so I'm not bothered.

Wait...I'm getting deja-vu, haven't we been over this?

I feel pretty crap without my morning caffeine too...

Your diary is closed, so we can't look and make any suggestions.

At least its not lupus?

This has nothing to do with what you're eating, and it's probably not a case of your weight either, if you're already rather slim. I'd advise looking at heavy lifting (stronglist 5x5 or The New Rules of Lifting for Women). Heavy lifting means lifting heavy weights for very few reps in order to build muscle (you'll need to…
