As above, I don't think your gain has anything to do with eating and activity. Stress can makes your body to gain. Maybe have a talk with your therapist about what your real needs are, might not be your weight.

You are 5'3" and weight 115 pound. That makes a BMI of 20.3. Why exactly do you want to lose weight? Not that it is my business actually, I'm just curious. If you feel good with eating 1200 cals a day without wanting to bite of the next tree bark, go for it. I think it is not enough, but there are other, better advisors…

Welcome to mfp :drinker:

:drinker: Congratulations! Looks defo more than 50 pound. Well done! :happy:

Your camera - make selfies and compare them. If you wear glasses, even sunglasses, you will feel, that they get lose too. But taking pictures is really the best option.

Hi, just turned 40. Would love some friends for supporting and being supported.

:huh: You lost three pounds a week for three weeks. Your start weight is not really high. You only eat 1000 cals a day and now you wonder why there is a stagnation? :noway:

Not that I think of this remotely to be an achievement, but it seems to have a benefit. You don't need one of these:

The scale is not always a friend. Muscles are much heavier than fat is, firstly, and secondly, it is very possible that your muscles hold on to water due to the weight training. If you feel good and lean and happy, throw the scale out of the window.

My first comparison pic. Now I understand what others are talking about.:noway: But i think i look older than before. :embarassed:

Incredible. Really most people look youger after they lost much weight. You are no exception! Well done, my deepest respects.

This little part of your statement just makes the whole thing wrong.

I think, all the "don't eat after ... " is done not out of science but out of "sounds logic, easy and doable" I saw diets explaining you can eat literally what and how much you want, but only before 2 p.m. So all it is, as you are not able to eat all and everything before 2 p.m is a calorie restriction. Doesn't work in the…

40 since two month :-)

Go get these last few kilos off! Wish you all the best for getting rid of the Metformin! "Fingerscrossed"

I'm 5'8" (168 cm) Started at 302 (137 kg) Currently on 268 (122 kg) Didn't set any major mountain goal, just hills. But 200 sound good. :-) Happy for requests from all over the planet :-)

I even doubt, that a measuring tape and math is always sooo accurate. I tried to run my figures on one of the pages recommended here on mfp. There were two figures. 28.8 % and the other one was 32.4% Aarons link seems more like it. Just try to up your calories on proteins, not on carbs and try some weight lifting. :-) Will…

Hi Are you sure about your bodyfat? Seems too high, although you BMI is fine. Try to eat more calories, but not too much on carbs and instead of 4x cardio try 2x cardio and 2x weight lifting.

Dito. No intention.

I don't understand why people don't just eat the whole egg. What is wrong with it? I eat all egg. Actually I would find it disguisting to by a carton of egg white. Who knows what is really inside?

Funny. Most dog foods are not dog- but bird food. So unless you use one of the best brands available you are not treating your dog as what he is - a carnivore.

I don't see anything, but obviously others do. My face looks smaller and my arms and my belly, they say. I really only recognised today when I was trying on a shirt for work, I didn't wear in over a year as it was far too tight, that now, if fits nicly. (all the other clothes I have are some sort of stretching material) I…

What do you mean by this? You only eat once a day? Have you ever been tested for any food intolerance? Funny thing with gluten intolerance is, if you eat it, it could make you feel better for a while. But then it gets worse. Check it with a gastroenterologist, especially if you can't break it down to a certain food. All…

Deep breath :-)

Hello. The problem with Vitamine D is, your body needs sun to produce it. Secondly: without Vitamine D, the body can't absorbe the calcium to your bones which can lead to structure problems of your bones and they break more easely. - Worst case scenario is osteoporosis. But it is not necessary to grill in the sun or in a…

2100 cal burned every day - wow. this would be 4 h hiking every day for me or three hours dancing... Lucky you, having so much time for workout. 1200 seems very low indeed.

Unfortunately any estimation of calorie burn in any app is far too high. Using my HRM gives me average between 50 and 70% of any estimate, no matter how accurate they try to be (entering weight and age and whatever) Was quite a shock in the beginning as work out is not (yet) my favourite time spend. ;-)

As a strict hater of all inclusive holidays my advise: don't do it. ;-) Well, the good thing is, there is most likely a buffet. So choosing can be easy. And normally there are loads of activities. If it is at the sea, swimming is a great whole body exercise, running around on the beach as well. If you give a sh** about…

No wonder you stuck! Obviously you try a ketonic diet. But for this kind of diet you eat far too little calories. Unless you are going for the Mr. Universe competition, this is the wrong way anyway. Please eat more if you don't want to run your body into big problems.

Protein rich food is fish for example. Soya products are ok as well. No batter or breaded meat/fish, just baked in the oven or fried in a teaspoon of good oil. Online you can find lists with protein rich foods.
