Well, my doctor said I'm healthy but it's discouraging to see BMI doesn't exactly think so.

I can agree with this to some extent. The only problem is body shape. It doesn't take into account anything other than numbers. I don't think that can be too accurate as people are so diverse. Obviously, in some cases it does work fine. When it comes to my doctor, I was told I am "healthy" and "fine" in terms of weight. I…

Well, sometimes questions seem stupid to others but it's something someone is curious about. I dunno. I think sometimes people really overestimate their expertise and forget that they actually aren't monitoring you every step of the way and that their knowledge isn't always helpful or correct. Weight loss is hugely…

Ugh, I wish my goal was weight gain and not weight loss!

Hey! Yes it's normal. I do the exact same thing and know quite a lot of people who feel the same way. I think it's often because we forget that we can't actually change our body shapes. That weight loss doesn't mean we will be skinny or lose our problem areas. It sure helps but it's not magic and we still have our issues.…

It's just a discussion. I have accepted that it could be the reason but I reserve the right to feel that it is not. Perhaps you should calm down. It's not what I want to hear it's what I have come to the conclusion makes sense to me. I have always been a religious logger and exerciser. Obviously, we all like to make the…

can you not. I don't overeat my limits and I exercise more than most. Weight gain and loss is incredibly relative from person to person. I am not overweight so technically I shouldn't be eating much below the standard for women which is 2,000. I eat way less than that. I log everyday and yes I am perfectly able to log and…

Don't think about 'readiness', just start. It doesn't cross my mind whether or not I am ready to lose weight but whether or not I need to.

Thanks! This makes a lot of sense to me. I have been miscalculating something ha! Congrats on losing so much! I'm sure you went through the plateau at some point too. :)

I think we all have our problem areas. Accepting body shape sucks. I mean, I want a toned and slim body but I really will have to work hard to get anything close to this. My main issues are my thighs and legs. Plus lovehandles :/. This is the worst part about getting fit it makes you may more attention to what isn't right.…

Yes. Thanks for the suggestion. I feel like I am dehydrated more than anything. I looked up that workout and it looks perfect. I need more intensity. I want to get rid of my fat thighs and exercise will probably be very effective for this. I've heard about this type of exercise and wanted to try it. Also, should I be…

Thankyou! I'm not sure why everyone is so caught up on the eating side of things. I don't eat a lot and I know I am very good at keeping ontop of my diet. It's not perfect but even as a self-critical person I wouldn't say I am overeating. That doesn't really make sense when I break down my diet. I like to aim for something…

[/quote] Kind of agree there^^^ OP, what is your current weight? [/quote] I am 139lbs at 5'3

To pee? No of course not. I need to pee often, ha. I only actually go like once or twice. I heard that's quite bad.

Ohh, okay! I think I'm starting to get it. See, I would never eat the calories back at all. I will start following this technique and see how it goes. How much does exercise effect the whole process? I am not sure how much I should do since I'm trying to get past the plateau. Can you see a reason why every time I try to…

Thanks. I think I might try this but I'm not sure. I absolutely need to drink more water though, this might help. (Prepare for massive overshare) I only go to the toilet like twice a week. I have no idea what this means but it can't be good. I'm not sure what's doing on but it's the same story every time I try to lose…

I think this could be true. Today I've eaten a weightwaters toast and a glass of water and I feel full. Like I don't need to eat till dinner but that can't be a good sign. I get scared to eat more though, it just seems like it wouldn't work for me but I might be wrong entirely. So hard to know :(. I always get stuck at the…

Hi I go jogging for 20 mins and probably spend about 10 mins doing full body toning/exercises. I mix that up but I stick to my usual cardio because gym isn't ideal for me right now. That programme sounds fun. I have an hourglass body so weight pretty much goes everywhere on me. My thighs are a massive problem area for me…

Thankyou. I think I fill up more on dinner than I made it seem. The dinners are filling and reasonable. I don't get much protein because I am veggie and I am allergic to a few things. I have eggs or chicpeas for lunch a lot though. It is possible that I have a food issue but I am not thin at all so it can't be very bad…

Thanks! I wouldn't say I need to but I can't seem to tone up my problem areas. Which is why I want to lose more. My thighs and hips never budge and my arms could be slimmer. I always loose weight around my waist, face and stomach but the rest of me is left untoned and large. I also need to rid of my lower tummy pooch.

It's hard to know what you're doing wrong since I do not have access to the logging tool you're using. If you're not losing weight you probably need to consistently eat at a deficit, which would mean eating less food or exercising more PS: Please use the quote function. It's a bit confusing what or who you're replying to;…

To be honest I eat very well. I could be wrong but I don't think this is the issue. I used to eat yogurt for breakfast, go to a lightly active job, cycle there and back, have two boiled eggs and then eat a low calorie dinner that is designed for weight loss. The only snacks I have is fruit. My only issue is caffeine. I…

I doubt it. I set out to lose 20 pounds. Thing is, I lost 10 and I have 10 left. Maybe I should change my diet/exercise routine for the last ten pounds?

I set up a different account for online because my the app I use of my phone has different goals etc. I just used it for the caluclator so my info was inaccurate. I have been using that app for a few years on and off. Daily logging since January. I do weigh my food and check calories before I log everything into my phone.…

I'm 5'3 I have no idea what I'm doing. Maybe I am eating more than I think but I use the calculator and I'm usually under my calorie intake :S.
