The fact you said "when I log" suggests that you are not logging regularly. If you haven't been logging (let alone using a scale) up until now - you really have no idea how much you have been taking in. Start there - that with using a scale will be eye opening.

what are you trying to achieve though? I've just never heard of someone whose main goal is endurance for the hip abductors?

ok - I gotta ask - why are you doing 3000 hip abductors a day???

don't forget "one handed" and distracted as well! not the best idea to admit to all this on a public forum!

muscle growth is a long and slow process - especially in females. it requires a calorie surplus and some sort of progressive lifting program - you don't even mention lifting weights? it is more likely that your weight gain is regular fluctuations, water retention, etc. if you are interested in gaining muscle mass - look…

except you are not compulsively logging accurately because most of your entries are in "pieces" and "cups" - that is no way accurate. and regarding the muscle - cwolfman13 covered that well.

just took a quick look at your diary - it is almost all in "pieces" and "cups" - start with weighing all your food - you'll be in for a real eye opener!

you are certainly not putting on muscle mass eating at a deficit and doing HIIT, jogging and yoga. as was said above, if you were losing fat and gaining muscle you would be fitting into those clothes better. much more likely to be a logging/intake issue.

not sure exactly what "tone my belly" means, but you can't spot reduce fat. if you are looking to lose fat you need a calorie deficit to lose overall.

are you weighing EVERYTHING you eat? at your weight if you were truly eating 1200 calories weight would be flying off. this is most likely a measurement error - tighten up your weighing/logging and you'll notice a difference.

OP, ignore this garbage advice - someone forgot that H20 is a chemical! all chemicals are not bad!

so much garbage in one post - have you ever considered that correlation does not equal causation? and you need to work on getting better scientific backing to your "views."

Exactly This. It's not worth stressing yourself out over what these other (adult) "kids" like/don't like/request/prefer.

you lose weight based on the calories you eat - not the time on the clock. so as long as you are eating at a deficit you will be fine (assuming weight loss is your goal).

you seem to be focusing more on things that don't matter (i.e. eating "clean", no bread or pasta) than what does (i.e. a calorie deficit). are you weighing all your food to ensure you are eating the amount you think you are??

do or do not - there is no "try"

curious where you are going that exercise is not a possibility??

I'm interested in this too - haven't cracked mine open yet, but wondering what people use it with/on?

just got back from Winners - came across this and had just read the thread so picked one up! hoping its good?!

I've heard people waiting between 2 and 6 hours in the past for this! Not worth the savings if you ask me!

you talk about eating "pretty healthy" and "vegan" - but these have nothing to do with weight loss. are you eating at a calorie deficit?

Love it - love having large meals and being full instead of little amounts throughout the day.

she is not putting on appreciable muscle mass while running and eating 1400 calories per day. muscle growth is a long and slow process - especially in females - and would require a progressive lifting program which she makes no mention of. much more likely to be a logging issue or any of the other issues noted above.

which "chemicals" does diet soda have that those drops would not??

ok?

are you super motivated to brush your teeth every day? do you do it anyway? building a routine and habits is so much more important than motivation.

how do you explain people that use keto to maintain or bulk??

if you are putting two pounds of muscle on per month you must be on some serious gear! muscle growth is a slow, long process - a woman doing everything right is fortunate to put on .5 - 1lb muscle per month - and that is at a calorie surplus - not netting 600 calories per day as the OP is (not to mention the fact that she…

did you seriously just say that if you eat 10,000 calories of fat it would not be stored or cause any weight gain? :*

exercise before you go to work in the afternoon?
