Both of you fail to take into account that BMI is just one measure of weight used for general populations. You misunderstand BMI. It is not and never claimed to be a definitive measure of health. So no its not controversial and toad pointed out the relevant issue.

Your overall calorie burn is what matters and for weight loss your overall calorie deficit is supreme. The zone is something thats pushed a lot by hrm makers, especially Polar, who have a vested interest in making a big thing of it.

Its realtive. I'd agree with toad in that you can be overweight and healthy just as you can be normal weight and unhelathy, but as toad points out its where you draw the line. Its unlikely you cna be obese and healthy becayse the very nature of being obese puts you in a different risk group. If you define what you mean by…

Are you lifting? You are on the lower side of normal , but still normal weight, sp where you are on that scale shouldnt matter. If you want to look slimmer or more defined then you should consider lifting an set your focus there instead of losing more weight. That will divert your thibnking about just weight and meet your…

Just use trip advisor for this secret town and then pick something healthyish, portion control or find a way to burn the extra. If its a seaside town then its likely to have reasonable sea food.... Its also likely to have lots of independent cafe/ restaurants and a few gastro pubs.

If its a push manual mower then it cna amount to a serious amount of exercise. His body will know 100% how many calories have been burned.

Teach yourself about how weight loss is really achieved and you will waste less time and become more effective. Your post indicates you are making changes without understanding or in he mistaken to belief of the changes they will bring. Its all about deficit and calorie counting for weight loss. learn to do the basics well…

Youve obviously lost some weight, but as you dont provide uch information on what you are doing calories, exercise etc then its hard to comment. I would point out that weight loss comes from the deficit. You arent going to see any definition till you remove the fat.

Interesting you didnt abnswer any of the relevant questions. How many calories did you exceed maintenance by if any? it doesnt matter its a single day, log it and move on.

Becayse you need to chill out and stop associating certain foods as good or bad. Its amounts that made you gain weight and not the food itself. If you were logical then youd realise you were eating according to plan and that you will still lose, even if you eat the ice cream. The guilt is understandable but illogical. Its…

If you are geuinely stalling on weight loss its becayse you are eating more than you burn and nothing to do with exercise. Its basic cico. Exercise burns calories and doesnt create them, then only thing it might do is temporarily have you retaining water. the fact that your weight dropped probably has to do with losing…

Cooking for one is easy, although cooking for several isnt much more hassle. The biggest thing if I was at Uni would be my refrigeration and freezer storage because that makes everything a lot easier. Of upi dpnt have much space then id consider getting your own 2nd hand one, which you cna either share with other…

Which country? Expensive or not then depression and suicudal thoughts if we are to take you seriously is far more of a pressing issue for you than weight loss. If you cannot afford a Dr then you should contact a mental helath charity or support group to get you the advice you need. You need to take it seriously. If your…

To burn 1lb of fat that takes 3500 calories or 16.3 session of your current exercise assuming the figure was accurate i.e it takes an awful lot of exercise. You cna try Hiit, but if its done properly then you arebnt going to be able to manage it for more thna a few times a week and the problem is recovering in time. For…

Treat is as alifestyle change rather than a diet, so you need to change habits permanently and have a maintenance plan so you dont go back to old ways. One way that will help is following a sustainable healthy weight loss plan now which helps you adjust and understand how much your body really needs and appreciate that you…

The food and amount you might eat, it still tastes nice and always will.

You are mixing up the ratio of muscle loss with % of muscle loss. 1200 diets arent controversial, they just mark the min amount a woman needs for basic nutrition and below which you should not go. On a sustainability level its a challenge and many other dieters lose on more than this.

What they all said you need to get professional help and support because you have a number of issues that need dealing with. Weight loss by itself is straightforward, but it is not as important as dealing with the other issues you highlighted. You need to tell your Dr about them. Weight loss itself is straight forward and…

You are already a normal weight. What sort of exercise are you doing and for how long have you been exercising. Ordinarily eating more will not help you lose faster as it is more calories and a calorie deficit is required to lose weight. By lifting you are doing the right thing to retain LBM and ensure the max % of body…

Makes much more sense.

Inidcates thats the start and finish of it. Why would they let him rejoin if his weight was a problem. It could be hes had the target a lot longer than a month and the CO was merely pointing out that unless he met it by the deadline then he was going to be out. It just so happens he has 45lbs more to lose and only a month…

Im no sure this makes sense OP are you telling us that he joined 3 weeks ago and his CO has just told him to lose 45 in 30 days or be booted or has he had the overweight problem for a while? It doesnt add up to be given an impossible amount to lose, but it would make more sense if hed known about the traget weight for a…

Knowledge makes it easier to understand how it all works, whats possible and realistic as well as what isnt. Planning and preparation help make it easier to apply that knowledge. Readying your mind so that you are focused and commited to deal with whats required are vital. Do you wnat to lose the weight and be slim? Do you…

You cant spot reduce, you just need a calorific deficit as well as patience.

Ok this is a bump. I have noted managingintake has not posted on her wall for sometime. Does anyone have contact with her? I did note she had a large support MFP group (supportive eoman?) and was wondering if that was still going? If its still active then could the organiser send an invite to as she seems to have been…

It is fluids that count (not just water), just discount alcohol. To be hydrated just monitor the colour of your urine. Dont overcomplicate it.

This is my suggested way to do it: Keep your friend but DO NOT talk about the diet with her, its not worth the effort and its unhelpful. If she talks about it nod and let it go in one ear and out the other. She will find it much harder to engage you about it. Learn how to lose weight from MFP and be an effective calorie…

Isnt it a good thing? You arent going to be tied to someone who wasnt a good fit and in a relationship that would have been very stressful.

You can be the official thread summariser. Thanks. Ok based on the above: There are zillions of boys you might meet in the future who you cna be friends with, not just these 2 guys. Neither of them seems right for you, so maybe dont worry about either and keep uopir eye out for someone who treats you well, but you can also…

I just think the BMI is useless crowd embarass themselves, they spout it as though they have just made some major discovery but show their own ignorance when its understood its just a general population measure and doesnt claim to apply to everyone. We wll know it doesnt take into account muscle, but its for general…
