Meh

I absolutely agree with what you said that most people don't want to hurt feelings. But I also think your scale is absolutely unrealistic. You are either forgetting the word "physical" beside attractiveness or you are forgetting body language and emotional expression. Photos show part of people's personalities, and that…

It only matters if you are trying to hit a very specific macronutrient ratio, which is of matter only if you want to follow an specific diet or you are an athlete looking for performance. Healthy can be maintained with almost every macronutrient ratio plus food variety. The default MFP ratios are perfectly fine for that.…

Holy molly, you look incredible

Cardio will help a lot generating the caloric deficit you need to lose body fat. You don't "need to" or "have to", but it will help a LOT. I've been exercising since last summer, and I find that the pattern 3-1-2-1 works awesome for serious cardio workouts. Three days cardio in a row, one rest day, two more days of cardio,…

I honestly think you don't need to count and weight every single ounce/calorie to maintain a healthy body. That changes when you get to very low fat percentages, where 100kcal could change your world. At a healthy (not too fat, not too athletic) %fat range 100-200kcal up or down don't mean sh't. You will eye measure just…

Not a runner, either, but I train for inline speed skating competitions. Training plans are the same, basically, plus some specific details for skating that runners don't need. I'll send you a request. If anyone on this post wants to add me, feel free to do so. Just be aware that I don't like having negative or whiny…

Call me shallow if you may but, after "getting fit" was achieved, 6pack abs is my only victory left.

You could use a bit more muscle, but that's about it. The hell is wrong with them. You look great!

I guess we are on the same boat. My goal is very broad, but I'm training to compete in inline speed skating at, at least, my country's national level. I've been training for over 300 days already. Getting to 365 in a month and a half or so.

That could very well be not possible. If you are going to use body fat % as a measure, then you are going to stop using the scale to measure fat and muscle at the same time, but you will use the scale to measure them separately anyway. Imagine that to get to your goal fat % you have to lose 2lb of fat and you only gain 1lb…

She stole my favourite lipstick. My manliness is gone forever without it. I will never forget, neither forgive T_T

Acne scars without a doubt

I read somewhere that you gotta get used to it. Can't remember the time it took the person who wrote it. I found the article when I searched for the Inuit Diet out of curiosity. I've never tried that diet myself, so reaserch on fat intake vs hunger for yourself. In my personal experience, whenever I eat too much saturated…

What a f'ing boss! Incredible :) Yeah, there are noticeable changes. Your pect, biceps and triceps look a lot bigger. Awesome!

Attractiveness is not all about physique. All I can see is your profile photos, and in them you don't seem confident, outgoing and fun. You look bland and unmemorable. Looking happy, confident and healthy is what makes a person stand out and, therefore, get hit on. It's the law of state transference. What you feel, people…

My exact thoughts as a dude reading this post

May sound weird, but not thinking is what motivates me. Or in other words, feeling my body and surroundings is what keeps me going. Overanalyzing and overthinking were never a good thing. Stop thinking about cardio this, cardio that, and you will enjoy it. Thinking and feeling are highly exclusive of each other.

Had the exact same problem on a 200-300kcal deficit. I started researching because I was worried I was doing something wrong, and indeed I was. Simple carbs and saturated fat make you feel full for 30-120min. Longer than that, and you feel like you could eat a dragon alive. It's annoying as hell :/ My solution was to start…

An intelligent guy

Sounds like you are on your way to stop the spiral going down. It won't turn up easily, but that I'm sure you already know. Keep at it, even when you don't ****ing want to. GL

So you are worried about making someone self-conscious? It is not that you do something and people become self-conscious. It is that you do something, and insecure people become self-conscious. That's a huge difference. Why would you want to date an insecure guy? Also, you are doing us guys a favor by testing us to see if…

One or two days is usually enough for me to recover after a race. If you are not used to exercising often and regularly, I would say three days is enough, unless the forth day you really feel that you should give X body part more time to recover because it's still injured from overuse. Listen to your body, he will give you…

As vague as it sounds, listen to your body. Do not think about how much is too much or too little, just feel and let go of those thoughts. You will be surprised how well you do and how little you injure yourself, even when giving your all every workout. As for frequency, you can sustain up to 5d/w of hard exercise…

Corporations get fed with the money they earn from us, yeah. But it's us who ask for what we want. If we didn't want sugar they wouldn't sell it, they'd sell some other bad/good sh't we asked them for. They are wealthy because of us, not us unhealthy because of them.

Take it as a compliment. If they are really being mean on purpose it means that you don't look like the kind of person that goes running everyday, still you are doing it. It's a f'ing compliment, they are remembering you how awesome what you are doing is. On the other hand, sometimes people yell stuff at me too. I do…

Let me answer you considering your measurements are correct: If you are actually at 18% as a woman, you barely have any fat on your body. Damn, I barely have any and I'm a dude. Girls have 6-8% more by default. Don't think you are gonna fit into your dress by losing 8% body fat. You won't even lose a size. For what I've…
