Personally, I can't see any health benefits in meat. Meat is full of antibiotics, and growth hormones, and seafood and fish, is overly polluted, and contaminated. I was first introduced to vegetarianism through a religious friend of mine. I didn't convert, but learned a lot about why vegetarianism was embraced in the…

I'm a semi vegetarian, if there's such a thing. I believe, that vegetarians perform better, physically. A lot of research has gone into this, and vegetarians have more energy, and endurance at most tasks. After, three decades, I still dance to 6am lol

I'm just building muscle for now, especially in my legs, and upper arms. My bingo wings, are going, slowly but surely. Have lost 2ins all around, but no weightloss, as yet to speak of. This, I expect will happen, when I've toned up, significantly. Converting all this fat into muscle, again, is easier said than done. I'd…

I wouldn't worry. You're building valuable muscle, and are probably in a better shape, now. I'll suggest you get the tapemeasure, and take notes. My overall measurements have decreased by two inches since Nov. No weightloss, as I yo yo depending on my activity levels. 1 pound, one week, is easily regained the next.

I buy unisex, which is a term used mainly for jeans, and my measurements where 32', 31' My measurement at the moment are 38', 31' which is the equivalent to a size 18, or 16 on the rear occasion. In Europe, I'm a size 44.

It is possible to copy your diary, for the next day, if you eat more or less the same. I found it to be very useful, as I eat the same breakfast every day.

Oh, and another thing. That stuff they calculate about how tall you'll be from how heavy you're at birth, is another gimmick. According to calculations, I should be 5'10 or more. I was a big baby, and still am lol, but turned out average for my height at 5'7. Just right for a female.

It is common knowledge, as any mother will tell you, is that they don't eat at that age...my mother was desperate, and fed me sweets and buiscuits, so by the time I was five and a half, I had lost all my milk teeth. Then, my grandmother took over my diet, and by the time I was eight, I was the fattest kid at school. It was…

Kcal is fuel. Eat more!

Set out an exercise routine, as you go along, log everything on MFP. With time, it becomes 2nd nature.

I'm a female, and can burn around 2000 kcal in a day, with moderate lifts. I don't want to build muscles, just nicely defined in a feminine way. Well, needless to say that I've been eating back my exer.kcals on top of my daily allowance as well, to maintain my fitness level. Totaling a daily intake of between, 2200-3000…

Don't think it's possible.

I wish more people would be like you, and realize 1800/2000 is the minimum daily requirement for adult females. Welcome, and well done with your success!

I want to only friend women, because I'm here to loose weight, and need support from like minded individuals. The Venus factor has proved my point, in that women have a different metabolism to men, and need to put in so much more effort.

Go without chocolate for a week.

No

Personally, I would opt for the run around the block. You did it on Friday, and it was fine I take it.

In bed with the flu virus, but did manage to cook my own dinner, and mop the kitchen floor, today. Tomorrow, I plan a trip to the shops, as I'm out of food!

Lol If you're brave enough!

Lol, that'll be the day when we have weighing scales that swears back at us!!! I'd say you've been mantaining in the past year. A 10-15lb increase ain't bad, as that can easily be lost in a day or two. Remember, you're a man lol you can eat like a horse, and can burn kcal like a house on fire. Being a househusband don't…

What did you weigh in February 2013, when you joined MFP?

First things first. Make an appointment to see your general practisioner. He/she needs to give you permission to start a diet. The other alternative is a gastric band. A trip outdoors on a glorious sunny day is needed, but be aware the neighbours will be shocked to see you. On the other side, it is generally your wifes…

lol who told you that it's retaining water? Muscle weighs heavier than fat.

I'll try it with chicken. Got to watch my cholesterol.

The inquisitive eyes.

Whatever happened here.

Wow @ Andreaviolet. Are you a Geisha?
