Yes, I think that was her!

Honestly. Women without boobs and booties still have real figures, for crying out loud. Anyway, yes, it's largely genetic. I've always had a reasonably flat stomach because I hold my weight in my butt/thighs (I have a 25 inch waist but am 42 inches around the hips, lol). My mom was the same until she had kids, then she…

Couch to 5k or I've heard Zombies! Run is fun because you get to pretend zombies are chasing you.

Like everyone says, slow and steady! Maybe also add in some gentle yoga/PT stretches at home if it doesn't bother your back to help you limber up/recover.

Did a benchmark run for my 10k training plan - 7 min warm up, 3 min running fast, 5 min cool down. Plus other walking around - 14k steps total. In among that was a 60 minute ballet fitness class, which was so fun!

Today I brought snacks with me: hard-boiled egg 10g walnuts 2 apricots Other snacks I usually have with me: various protein bars - usually whatever's on offer string cheese, though they can get a bit sad/slimy if it's too hot out. Or babybel light. apples other nuts or the graze snack mixes (UK) almond butter and banana…

When I was in recovery for bulimia there were certain things I couldn't have around easily. For awhile, we didn't buy certain types of crackers, for example. Then later, my husband kept them hidden in his desk in the living room. I knew they were there but I wasn't confronted with the box every time I opened the cupboard,…

I am thinking of doing this as I often hang out with friends on the weekend or go out to eat so it is guesswork anyway.
-
As above, if you demonise or overly restrict certain types of food it's easy to crave them more then binge. For some people moderating is easier than others. I aim for mostly whole foods that are nutrient dense because I like it. But quite often I will have a scone with clotted cream and jam when I go to a cafe. Or this…
-
My binges stopped when I started eating at least 1800 a day (if I stuck to that daily I would lose). I usually range between 2000 to 2500 (maintenance). You probably still aren't eating enough.
-
I'd say with that amount of cals that's orthorexia veering towards anorexia. In my mind ortho is more eating near-ish the right amount of calories but very overfocused on 'clean' eating. See: many fitness influencers. If you don't already have a team, echoing the others to say see if you can find a registered dietitian as…

With plant based eating, it seems like single ingredient meals risk being unbalanced. I mean, I don't know what you mean by that, but for example, just a big bowl of strawberries, while delicious, isn't exactly a balanced meal, whereas oatmeal, peanut butter, vegan protein powder, and lots of strawberries is will keep you…

90 minutes of yoga 50 minutes running 8 km.

Have you taken a look at fitnessblender.com or sites like that? Lots of time efficient HIIT style stuff but with more variety than 30 day shred, which is probably going to become monotonous eventually.
-
If OP takes it to heart, tries to go on a too restrictive calorie diet, gives up and binges and puts 'em back where they were to start, it's not necessarily helpful.
-
I'd crept up by a stone but also just kept losing about 7 pounds and putting back 9 like twice a year, which was eroding a bit of muscle each time. Lost 12 and recomped.
-
Yeah, I like it! I don't have them super often, but enjoy them when I do.
-
Haha nevermind--I'm so hungry today! I guess it kicked in late. Bodies are funny.
-
I'm always a little too high on my fat according to MFP's default macro split. It's just how I like to eat. Peanut butter FTW.
-
Wow, that's a *kitten* gym. To get that amount of money back people could end up doing very unhealthy behaviors to hit some arbitrary number. That's why I'm way of stuff like dietbet. At least dietbet is only $30. $400?! My gym has NO weight loss challenges anywhere. It focuses on a strong body and a strong mind (you can…

1. I doubt you are 'skinny fat.' 2. 1500 calories is not enough. I'm a 6 ft tall woman who is active and I need like 2200-2300 to maintain at 152-154. If I aim to lose I try not to go below like 1700-1800 because then I start binging or also become cranky. 3. @sardelsa as usual gives bang on advice.

Weight lifting is the best thing I did for my health in a long while. First time I saw my body change. With running I was just a little smaller but still not happy with my shape. Now I have abs, which I never thought I'd have. Always had a flat tummy as I'm naturally smaller, but never had definition.
-
Sounds delicious! Yes, I'm the same. I'd rather keep a small deficit on my normal days so that I have leeway if a friend spontaneously invites me for dinner or I go out for drinks, without having to stress. Or some days I'm just waay hungrier than others, so I listen and eat more on those days.
-
I still log on weekends but just let myself eat whatever. Usually ends up being a little over maintenance, but not wildly. Although to be fair, I usually just eat whatever within my calories. Yesterday I had (sadly disappointing) lemon polenta cake. Today I had some biscuits, chocolate, and waffles with light cream cheese…
-
1) 5'11.5" (so I usually cheat and say 6') 2) usually between 152-154. 3) 30 years old 4) Female 5) Maybe 20-21%? That's a guess. 6) 9 months 7) Average is probably around 2200-2300. I usually aim for around 1900-2000 unless it's a high exercise day and I'm hungry. This is so I have flexibility on the weekends/if I go out…

I have a bit of milk in my coffee because I hate it black and don't care if it technically breaks a fast. Otherwise just water or diet soda.

5k run in the park. 25 minutes on my bike desk.
-
Eat 1500 + at least half your exercise calories. Watch your trend weight and adjust as needed.
-
About 45 minutes on my excercise bike deak, but it's so light effort I log 20. 20 minute walk in the park. 50 minute kettlebell class. I was stronger than the three men that were there, which surprised me!
-
What I've found interesting about logging while maintaining is how good the body can be about balance. Like if one day was very carb heavy, the next day I fancy things with more protein or fat without realizing.
