Sweet potatoes, preferably boiled with the skin. some spices - ginger, cinnamon etc. Even though it's all about calories, it's not always all about calories. Some food types help your body to be more efficient. Even if it's work is curbing cravings, trust me it's something.

Why don't you want to use a heart rate monitor?

Thanks for the responses. I'd put them to good use.

I want to know if there are still gaps in nutrition waiting to be filled. If I'd be able to make my own unique contribution studying nutrition.

I wish i could give out some of mine. 35:25:40

'Guess we are all different i gain up to 5kilos during TOM(could be worse if i binge) and can hold on to it for over a week. When i remember that 7700kcal makes a kilo, i laugh over such gains and continue my life

In addition to other advices given, please start asap and never give up no matter what. if i had started off at 18 i wouldn't have had to deal with severe hypertension at 19 while rounding off college.. It affected my grades but thankfully it's gone now :-D

In

Yea IF

I'm interested pls. Even if there's no more space, 'would love to know the nature of each week's challenge please. Thanks(been stuck for months).

^^^this. Especially with the 'toxicity' crap+gluconeogenesis=generation of gluc from non CARb sources and not just AAs as a poster put it. Is glycerol an AA?

With 1600kcal, u really shouldn't be cheating!

Yours is better i'm not losing weight or inches(gaining inches self) but i'm seeing serious muscular definition(dunno if it's ok)

I haven't commented in months but this brought me to tears. You are beautiful right from the inside and your look just confirms it.

I'm in tears... *What excuse could be greater?*

2. Strength training, water, maybe a collagen-enriched cream and patience. Goodluck getting back on track!

Someone was asked to find out how i did it and she replied 'at least I'm healthy'... Gosh! 'sure u are!'

A calorie is a calorie...TRUE All calories are not created equal..."TRUER" often times i see post with people saying that they've lost weight but not the bulge or ... If people who don't have such problem come out clean, you'ld realise that they eat whole food more than half of the time. If you eat junk always, u'ld turn…

Breakfast makes me lazy and ravenous. Hence, I pass most a times except I wake up extremely hungry or come across a tempting meal.

Triple wow... U are such a strong woman. U didn't even use your numerous health issues as an excuse and God blessed ur effort. I'm motivated.

Glad to see another who lost hypertension losing weight. Congratulations!

You posted this twice and I think u should check out comments from your other post. Plus since you eat as much as 1,900 on the days u log in i wonder what u eat on the days u don't. U don't look that big in ur profile pic so i don't think u earn up to the 700 extra u take in. Don't eat back ur calories. Use exercise for…

Trust me, some days I have had worse gains but when I remember that 7700cals make a kilo and i haven't had that much, i don't fret. I've also discovered that my weight depends on how much carb/sodium/water i've had(i weigh in daily). Also around TOM i gain weight. I've gained as much as 4kilos but it all goes away. If you…

You've done well for yourself. Congratulations!!

No it wouldn't. All u have to do is to ensure you keep on tracking your weight, meals and workout thereafter.

And some would be like 'will power is genetic'. Lol! If U want that body U've got to earn it. Until u realise that u are the reason why u are fat and stop blaming metabolism and genetics, u would not lose weight!

I wasn't really eating much as a kid and I was obese but there was something worse i was into, i was eating wrongly, i had a romance with oil and calorie dense meals that weren't satisfactory. So in my mind i wasn't eating much but technically i was.

Excess sodium could cause water retention so it is important to track it

Genetics, made wrong food choices and was sedentary. But I think the major reason was that I was on prednisolone for allergies for most of my childhood years until mum realised it was the culprit.(was an obese child tho, 50kg at 8)
