Enjoy yourself. Eat at a 200 calorie deficit for the next 7 days after the party. First world problems.

Clothes add 1-5lbs depending on how heavy the shoes are. Food and water can add 1-5lbs It is normal.

Were you naked when you weighed this morning? Did you do it on an empty stomach? If you weigh at the gym with clothes/shoes on and after you've eaten/drank water/coffee, you're going to weigh more.

TJ's has a couple different types of risotto in the frozen section, Asparagus or Mushroom. It's a very interesting grain and has a creamy/luxuriousness to it. . Be warned, the asparagus one is VERY asparagusy, they actually add additional asparagus flavor to it.

If you are truly puking every time you try to eat a fruit or a vegetable, you need to see a doctor. That is not "normal" and you may have a lot more health problems than anyone here could possibly help with. I'd strongly advise you to be under a certified dietitian and nutritionist in addition to your doctor who is…

Honestly, just eat the calories MFP gives you as a goal. Log your exercise, eat at least 50%-80% of those calories burned on top of your goal for the day. If you are still having trouble losing weight after 4 weeks, weigh all of your food before you eat it, you are probably just eating more than you think. You also do not…

Are you weighing all of your food? Under eating for a long period of time can cause damage, but it's pretty rare. Instead you might need to re-evaluate if you are truly eating as much or as little as you think. It isn't really a plateau until it's been at least 4-6 weeks of staying the same weight, you might want to just…

You're not going to get much sympathy here, we're all struggling one way or another. My issue is very similar to yours, I love healthy food, but I want 10lbs of it at each meal. Those shirataki noodle things really helped me a lot, lots of volume with very little calories. You really need to prepare them correctly,…

God I love skinny jeans, and tights, and any pant that doesn't have all that extra fabric by the ankle. I'm so very pear shaped, ironic preference of pant style.

One of the Targets near me is the same way. At least I know where to go to feel completely devastated. Also if something does end up looking good while in that room, then it must REALLY look good, so that's a plus...right?

Using MFP is free, actually teaches you proper nutrition and portion sizes. WW is based on a fake point system that no one in the real world uses and then charges you for using it. So I guess I feel like MFP is better. Weight loss = calorie deficit. The end.

Your BMI is 21.4 which is on the low side of the normal range, you are definitely not over weight by any means. Sugar in fruit is fine, I think you should consider eating more than 1700 calories and picking up a weight lifting routine and replace it with some of the cardio you do. Because you are already at a healthy…

1200 already contains your deficit for weight loss. You do not need to exercise or eat under this goal. If you exercise, you should eat those calories on top of your calorie goal. Please just be sure that the estimated burn calories are correct, some people choose to eat between 50%-80% of their exercise calories to…

A lot of people like to make weight loss and fitness overly complicated. The food thing isn't true, but it is a good idea to change things up if you're getting bored, or if you don't think you're getting proper nutrition. The exercise thing is "somewhat" true, as you get more fit, your body stops burning as many calories…

It's pretty impossible for the human body to oxidize more than 1-2lb of fat in a week. So the chances that the weight you lost during your illness was water is high since it's was 5 days. As long as you are eating at a deficit, you will continue to lose weight, but yes, most of that 7lbs will return, but it wasn't a true…

Try eating more calorie dense foods/healthy fats. Add more olive oil to cooking. Eat nuts and nut butters instead of low calorie snacks. Add avocado to salads, wraps, soup and sandwiches. Toss the "low fat" "fat free" dairy and buy full fat. Drink your calorie if you are too full, juice, milk, protein shakes, ect These…

I see plenty of people warm up with cardio before weight training. He's just looking to make money, ignore him. I guess it depends what you're trying to do, I assume that you're looking to lose weight. If that is the case, a calorie deficit is all that is required, you don't even have to work out to achieve that. But it's…

Yes you would lose the same amount of weight. Exercise is for fitness, not weight loss. If you want to improve your cardio ect, you should exercise. The site is designed so one can lose weight with zero exercise. I do often exercise so I can eat more, I have a ferocious appetite.

Binging is generally caused by emotional problems. If you are having difficulty pin pointing the reasons why you feel the need to eat that much food, I would recommend seeking a therapists help.

I like bananas, but I want to point out that the OP states that Bananas have vitamin B12 under the "smoking" section, which is incorrect. Which I'm only pointing out because B12 is only found in meats and nutritional yeast unless it's a processed food that has been fortified. It's challenging to get enough B12 if you're a…

It could literally be a whole bunch of things. You need to have a bowel movement, you started a new type of exercise and your muscles are sore/retaining water to heal, you ate more sodium than you realized. Give it a couple days, it's perfectly normal for weight to fluctuate1-5lbs per day. It takes 4-6 weeks to determine…

I heard drinking room temp water was better for your system because it's less shocking than cold, but I'm really not entirely sure how accurate it is, I have absolutely no references. As far as weight loss is concerned, hot or warm water isn't going to make a difference. Some people do feel like warm/hot liquids can help…

@Nancy What you are referring to is more like the "water" goal (my goal is to drink X amount of water everyday), it doesn't have an impact on how many calories you get, it's just there as a personal goal for yourself.

You know, I was once 20 and I understand emotions. I'm a woman just like you. I apologize that my phrasing upset you, it was my intention to help, but now I just feel like a jerk. I was stating a fact, not "questioning" you or calling you a liar or saying you are stupid. Simply misinformed. Sometimes I wonder why I bother.…

According to your stats you: Maintain your current weight at 2585 calories per day with zero exercise. To lose 1lb per week you need to cut 500 calories a day, so 2085 calories a day with no exercise. If you exercise you will need to eat more. I hate to say it but 28lbs (2 stone) in 2 months is very unrealistic. Even if…

Depending on the exercise, yes, you should eat at least 50-80% of the calories burned back. The way MFP is designed is so you can lose weight with zero exercise. So your calorie goal for the day already has a deficit built in. When you exercise, you increase the deficit, so you need to eat more to make up the difference.…

Boost healthy fats. Use more olive oil when cooking. Add avocado to soup, salads, sandwiches, wraps. Eat more nuts and nut butters. Get rid of low fat dairy and replace it with full fat. Add cheese to a meal or an extra slice of bread/grain. 1 cup of most grains are close to 200 calories, so even just 1/2 a cup would add…

More fats basically. Use more olive oil. Add avocado to soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps. More nuts and nut butters. Get rid of low fat dairy and replace with full fat. Add some cheese to things. You can also try to drink some more of your calories if you aren't hungry, milk, juice, ect.

lol, okay hun. =)

Your HRM is wrong, is it one of those wrist ones? You're also not suppose to wear one while lifting weights or during yoga or pilates, 300 calories for lifting weights is really inaccurate in of itself and that is enough for you to maintain your weight, especially combined with any other exercise inaccuracies or logging…
