You got this!

If you've lost 14kg, then your diet is definitely working for weight loss. It looks like you've hit your first goal, and it is time to set a new one! A good way to measure progress other than the scale is to use a tape measure, which you can also log in myfitnesspal. A tape measure will show you when you've lost weight in…

Congrats, 10lbs is a big loss! Have you read this Myfitnesspal blog post? https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/5-ways-to-change-your-set-point-weight/ I think some of it could apply to you here, in particular the part where it suggests dropping weight, then maintaining for a while, then dropping weight again. I think that…

Hi I'm vegan, add me and check my foods. I try to get carbs at breakfast and around workouts, otherwise focus on veggies and protein. I get my seitan from the asian store, it's called "fresh gluten" and its in the fridge. Vega protein is overpriced. You can get the same full amino profile from other brands, they usually…

Thanks guys! I did have very bad anxiety causing daily panic attacks and insomnia. But the medication got rid of anxiety and insomnia. I've increased my strength again with physio and musculo-skeletal therapy so now I can do aerobics twice a week no problems (mixed martial arts), though after doing boxing, my shoulders…

I injured myself running and want to increase my lower body strength and stabilisers to gradually ease back into running. My hip flexors are very tight and my glutes are weak, and I want to find balance. If I don't stretch, my right side goes tingly/numb when I turn my head right. Sometimes I get like an electric shock…

Thank you for the replies and consideration! I do stretch daily, sometimes up to 4 times a day. I get a neck/shoulder massage nearly every day (from my poor partner), and a professional back/neck/shoulder or sometimes full body massage every fortnight (though expensive). As I said I tried cupping this week as I could not…

I've been vegan for about 8 years and can try to share some insights... Don't be too strict. Calorie requirements are the same as for any other diet when it comes to weight loss/gain. There are a lot of vegan fad diets out there, but ignore them and focus on variety and nutrition and don't be too hard on yourself. Set a…

I'm at a healthy place right now, 5'5/120lb and fit in size 6. That being said, I can't fit my calves into skinny jeans. No matter what size you are, clothing styles that suit your body shape always look the most flattering :)

[Regardless of calorie goal] I have ~same every day: B'fast: oats/toast, coffee & fruit Lunch: crunchy noodle and bean salad Dinner: steamed veg & tofu Dessert (every other day): ice cream &/or alcohol Snacks: protein shake, fruit, nut butter on rice cakes (+sugar-fee drinks, lollies, hot cocoa & tea) Where: Type of…

For snacks, you can find roasted/salted soy beans, chickpeas, wasabi peas, garlic broad beans, etc. If you eat them instead of nuts, you get more protein, plus they store well and don't get squashed in your bag. For meals, aim to get enough iron/calcium (spinach, broccoli, beans, lentils, tofu), - coupled with vitamin C…

How do you watch TV shows on the treadmill? At-home gym, or bring ipad/tablet/device, or thumb drive? Side note... audiobooks are great for outdoors running :)

Good luck eating what you enjoy in moderation and beginning a new fitness journey! If your strength is going up, it is a good indicator that you're gaining muscle, and if you're not losing weight but are losing inches off your midsection, arms, legs or wherever, then you're probably losing fat. Don't be discouraged by…

Perhaps you are afraid he won't agree or understand, and that you will hurt his feelings? Your wellbeing is very important, as you can see by all these people trying to reach out to help you. If you do not feel you have the strength to confront this issue, then you may just have to say it like it is and leave, even if he…

I've been doing bodybuilding-style workouts (progressive overload/4 day split), a small surplus of calories (250) and heaps of protein (1g/lb body weight) for a few months now after hitting my goal weight and I weirdly look smaller than before. My maintenance calories have over time shot up from about 1200 calories a day…

Sounds to me like you thought you were on track then suddenly you were shocked to find you were wrong. No drama, don't be scared, you have your whole life to find a good balance. Don't overeat to get your weight up quickly or you will likely gain fat in random places. Increase by only 200 cal/ week type of thing. If the…

I've been vegan for 7 years, it was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I got rid of asthma, eczema, general allergies, and so because my lungs cleared up, cardio became fun. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables so unless I make a concerted effort to cook beans and lentils, I tend to forget about them. If you…

* I'll mention that my lifestyle is various - because some weeks I am on feet alot for casual work and some weeks I am sitting at a computer a lot for intense weeks of study (exams). But myfitnesspal thinks my BMR is the same.

It has never been accurate and I've logged since 2011.

Personally, (as a workout-a-holic) I lose more weight when I take a rest week. My appetite is WAYYY easier to control. But ifl working out so....

Yeah, I only get 40g a day and still train at the gym with no problems. Fitter than prtty much ALL of my friends so I don't see what the problem is. My general day is: apple & peanut butter for breakfast, then a soy latte for morning tea, then more snacks like banana bread, tofu sushi, vegemite toast, tea, chocolate,…

Mine too. But its the same with the analog one I used to own. That's why I prefer to go by weekly/monthy. But I wish I could just actually KNOW how much I weighed, you know?! Soooooo frustrating, but not much you can do but be patient.

Well it depends on your deficit. Generally, if you're in a deficit, you will lose weight. A larger percentage of that weight will come from fat and a smaller percentage from muscle. Some people claim that if you lift weights and eat adequate protein (I've read a lot on this and people suggest anywhere from 40g-150g), but…
