Lost weight as well as my muscle definition
Repost of a past topic which got deleted after slight modification. Has anybody experienced something similar? What did you do to reverse the situation? As a first info: I have no access to weight-lifting facilities. Now to the actual issue: I started my journey in November from last year at 56kg for 165cm. I did not count…

M&M's...
I have no control over those, they're like crack. Without even realizing, I downed a little over a 100g in a matter of... minutes I guess :embarassed: Do you have any tips on how to stop eating them/get disgusted by them? And no, eating as many as I can and then feeling sick does not make me cease in anyway :grumble: As a…

Slightly underweight but...
... not looking like it? I mean, I do know and SEE that I am pretty thin, however I do not look underweight (and neither do I have body dysmprphia :indifferent: ). Literally, if you were to compare my arms to those of my friends you'd easily see that they are far larger than theirs (and I'm a pear/hourglass!)~ Anybody in a…

Starting to 'binge'...
... on granola clusters mainly :frown: I'm in the need of gaining weight, a couple of kilos, which is why I've been eating at TDEE (or what I think my TDEE is) + 10%. However, I'm currently at my father's (and will be for the next couple of weeks) and my control is slowly slipping. It's never happened and I feel absolutely…

Pasta dough?
Would it be possible to make pasta dough using a similar ratio of zucchini (or another vegetable I guess) and flour? Or would it yield something that is too runny or err... awful tasting :blushing: ?

From too thin to fit?
Any people having experienced such success out there?

Weight gain success stories?
Does anybody have some out there :flowerforyou: ?

Just do it.
Today I'll up my calories. By 350. To the excess. Because I need those nine pounds back. And because my family's balance does to. Even if it's scary. I promised it. So I'll do it. It's a promise to me and who ever cares to read this. I'm finished with losing, it's time to gain now. Be it fat or muscle, I'll also gain my…

Bulking without lifting?
Is it possible to bulk and build consistent muscle mass without lifting but while doing bodyweight exercices and eventually using a pull up bar? I... I lost a bit of muscle (a fair bit) as my weight loss took a too sharp corner and now I'm searching to put it back on as well as a bit of fat to get my hormones back going…

Butt and glute exercices on a pull up bar?
Are there any? I can't afford going to the gym or any other fancy machines like a squat rack. And squatting without any weights does not seem to be working for me :grumble: I'm not searching to lose weight, in fact I'm trying to gain a bit and if possible, mainly muscle (I want my booty back :sad: ) , so any tips…

Why is this pizza so high in calories?
Do you know the Dr Oetker pizzas? Or am I the only one? Anyway, working one into my daily goals and limit isn't a problem but... some of them are just too high in calories to be eaten completely. Like the tuna one. And, oh, it tastes amazing though. But. It's 930 calories + for one pizza. :/ And very high in sodium (nope,…
-
Overate yesterday but...
Should I try to eat 100 to 200 cals less for the next few days or just leave it like that and shrug it off (I am technically seen eating around my TDEE of 2050 everyday but splurged a bit at a birthday party yesterday and ate around 2600~)? Little precision, I have technically seen lost TOO much weight, but all given…

Have you ever regretted losing too much weight?
I'm at the point where I am sighing at my own dumbness :grumble: I REALLY miss my strength (I'm still able to do as many reps but I have to muster up more efforts)... and shoulders :frown: ... I'm trying to get it all back though! Through bodystrength exercices however :happy: Has this ever happened to any one else? (And…

Problems w/ TDEE and excess weight loss
... And it s starting too show and I am absolutely hating it. This is going to be a very long post,sorry... First of all, I need to be honest, I m too young to be here. I m 15. And at a very thin 49kg for 166cm despite being fit and living a rather healthy lifestyle. I also need to insist about the fact that I do not have…

What's the difference between...
... frozen yogurt and yogurt ice cream? Is there any? Pure curiosity really, as I had, earlier in the afternoon, a beautiful scoop (or more like a double scoop :laugh: ) of amarena yogurt ice cream :tongue:

If today was your last day what would you eat?
:happy:

Snacking too much?
The thought has been hanging around in my mind for a couple of days now :/ It seems like my snack (no I didn't forget an s) usually is almost bigger than a lunch (averaging 500 cals except if I know I'll eat a lot afterwards) or dinner and... yeah... is that okay? How many calories do you use up/allow yourself when it…

Not daring to eat at maintenance...
... and I keep losing weight. I'm at the point where I am 50kg for 5'5 / 166 cm... I REALLY don't want to lose more as I'm starting to look vaguely sick, but I just can't muster the courage to eat more. I'm not very active as I sit most day (I'm a student) and do Ripped in thirty and yet seem to still lose at 1850 cals per…

Help! I'm afraid they'll end up better than me!
First and foremost, I want to apologise, because what I'll say is probably so close and small minded that it will offend some people. And that's definitely not what I'm trying to achieve. Heck no. My question is: has any one ever felt reluctant to share their success stories and secrets? Let me explain: I started my…

Am I the only one...
who finds 'rounder' women prettier? Let's explain this a bit, I'm a generally fit, muscular and very lean person but used to be a chubbier girl, with a very low muscle mass. With weight loss came the habit of looking at other people (not comparing, just observing) and the conclusion that... yeah, rounder, fit women are…

Am I the only one...
Eh, chose the wrong categorie, never mind~

Egg whites questions
Okay, this will probably sound ridiculous but... could you whip egg whites until stiff (over simmering water mind you), with a dash of, let's say, cocoa powder and some sugar, and just eat like that? Like some sort of fluff/light mousse?

Bruised tailbone
I started exercising back in November last year and soon, a month later I guess, I saw a pretty large bruise develop on my tailbone/lower back :frown: . I mean, it isn't really bothering, and doesn't keep me from exercising as it doesn't hurt except if you poke it harshly but it... is quite erm... unattractive :grumble:…

Can you use all purpose flour instead of flour?
It's all in the title: my mother asked me to make her some lower calorie chocolate muffins, and the only recipes I have found require oats which I don't have - obviously -. So would the substitution work D: ?

Guys...
Today was my birthday (I say was, as it's already past midnight here :P) and... we went out to a 'blind' restaurant. Ya know, the kind where you choose between poultry, fish, beef, vegetarian and surprise and then have to discover everything in the dark without further knowledge of what you are eating? Yeah I took…

Are there less calories in certain ice cream flavours?
I know the question might sound ridiculous, but wouldn't there be less calories, for example, in an ice cream requiring the addition of more flavour agents as they take up some of the place the milk, sugar etc... could take? Or could there be less calories in fruit ice cream (raspberry, mango etc) than in chocolate ice…

Too many carbs coming from fruit?
I've been struggling for quite a while now with carbs and by observing my journal, I spotted that most of them come from my fruit and vegetable consumptions. I mean.... I definitely went overboard today (blame cantine cooks only serving edible vegetables and absolutely sticky, uneatable pasta. And no meat available today…
