Word.

4 years now. Was also told I wouldnt have any muscles.... Weird....

I have done it. Sooo ummm what now?

Yarwell thank you. That was funny and made a good point. One thing we can all agree is eat to be healthy not skinny.

No offense to all the people with an ED or people who beat it but it seems everytime they want to make a point they say " I had ED so starvation mode exists or they go into how they almost died. Starving yourself to the point of sickness does not make you an expert nor is it the same thing as what is being thrown out as…

Eating more? complaining? why there is no weightloss? the economy?

Sarauk if I lose weight and don't hit a plateua does that prove that there is no metabolic damage? I'm not being facetious but what does that say about me? I really must be a freak.

Opus649 that was brilliant. thank you.

thank you Mylana I agree.

Someone could say what you are posting is misleading and to keep it to yourself. I happen to agree with the OP so I don't feel mislead. And yes with freedom comes responsbility so just think I disagree with your view point so can I then say you are being irresponsible because I think your point is invalid and misleading?…

I'm with you 100%. I keep mentioning how some countries' diet is primarily rice ,fish and veggies and are very active don't go into this "starvation mode" and they are healthier for it. SO how can millions of people not be on "starvation mode"? Short answer it's a myth. Now yes people can have some metabolic slow downs but…

My advice be super stoked you lost the weight. Great job, enjoy it!

Average is 20% for women. Abs are so dang hard to get. If you get there it will be because of your diet not millions of crunches.

Well I thought this was about drinking alcohol for lunch.

I can't wait to get rid of my love handles.

Who you calling a slow loser?!

Well i'm a dude here. I had this as well. It went away for me.

i like this line "(by the way, I know that humans are extremely annoying experimental animals - this alone can explain good portion of controversial results in fields like this) " so true!

Just do a google search for starvation mode myth. I also posted some links on previous posts I made ,you can do a search for my handle..

Oh no buddy I've read them so many of them. Both against and for. So many. I think they are definitely making me loopy. Lol

Lol oh dear. See why I hate the starvation mode posted research. There is also research disproving it but it seems most people lean towards believing it.

Some people might say starvation mode lol.

Lol just the way it seems. Of course I know that's not 100% accurate to say.

Dang lol. I know metabolism goes down as you lose weight. Makes me think the body figures it out.

It seems that people who hit a plateua think they are in starvation mode people who never hit it don't believe it.

I dont believe in starvation mode. I'll tell you Ive lost 60 lbs i didnt have a plateu nor any physical changes except losing weight and gaining some muscle tone. But I will say this my body is not as aesthetically pleasing as I'd like. So I lost weight , I look and feel better but not exactly at the muscle tone I would…

Wow that's nice.

Dan thats a good question . Hmmm one wish I'd like some abs 12% bodyfat maybe 10 lbs lean muscle mass. But my goal is to be 199 lbs. If I had two wishes for physical apperance it be your hair lol.

I dont feel deprived and I eat enough where I feel full.I wanted out of curiosity to see what it was and because helloitsdan seemed interested.Well ive been eating like this for years now. Being keeping it off maybe by luck. I dont do the whole counting or bmr /tdee Honestly had never heard of it until recently.

out of curiosity I used a TDEE calculator it came out to 3160 lol wow. Never looked up any of this stuff has I have already lost most of my weight
