Period pain, cravings and no weight loss

Hey y’all, i am feeling SO frustrated and let down today. I have actually upped my walks this week but because I’ve been on my period I have had some wicked cravings - which i have more or less avoided and instead supplemented with fruits or lower cal options. I have eaten more this week but also made up for with much longer walks.

When i checked my weight today and i have actually gained a pound.

I am so mad!!! I know periods cause bloating but is weight gain really this common even with more activity? All i wanna do i eat. My stomach is like a literal black hole these week.

Its honestly so annoying to be a woman sometimes 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I dont know how to handle my moodiness, cravings and period pains (so many spasms 😭) along with trying to be in a deficit and working out.

Any help?

[SV] I've lost over 100 pounds?! Hold on, let's put this into perspective!

Weighed myself this morning to see 93kg on the scale! With that I've lost 47kg, i.e. 103.6lbs! I'm absolutely speechless!

Like the frog being boiled alive, it can be hard to see the changes if you just look in the mirror every day. So to put this into actual perspective, here are a handful of things that weigh 100 pounds! I used to carry one of these around with me ALL THE TIME!

• a fully grown bloodhound
  
• a heavy bag that heavyweight fighters train with
  
• a newborn foal
  
• this hellfire missile (do you see how much they're struggling?!)
  
• 3 standard cinder blocks
  
• 2 twin XL mattresses
  
• a 13 year old child
  
• 12 gallons of water
  
• 300 apples
  

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk! If you were to compare your own weight loss to everyday objects or animals, what have you guys lost so far?

I'll see you again once I've reached 91kg (= a healthy 24.9 BMI)!

Need clarification about BMR and TDEE

Hello,

I am 42 year old male, 170 lbs and 5' 9". When I go to most BMR calculators on the web ( for eg. https://dailyburn.com/life/health/how-to-calculate-bmr/ ) I enter my activity level and usually I enter exercise 5 times a week. Based upon my activity level it gives me a TDEE of 2575 calories and a BMR of 1661 calories. So let's say I exercise 5 times a week and each time I burn 500 calories should I assume that in order to maintain weight that I will have to eat 1661 + 500 calories or 2575 + 500 calories. Does the TDEE calculator account that I will be burning an extra 900 calories through exercise or is it that because of exercise that my body will just burn much more calories just surviving? So for eg. if I don't exercise at all in week I will burn 1661 * 7 calories. On the other hand, I exercise 5 times a week and each time burn 500 calories then in a week I burn 2575 * 7 + 500 * 5 (500 calories in each of the 5 exercise sessions) or will I burn 1671 * 7 + 500 * 5 calories?

Just writing this down because I felt like.

I once did diet and exercise with amazing results, almost unbelievable.

I remember how hard it was the first few weeks. I also remember I started a Thursday because I didn't want a Monday Clichè.

We are starting next Wednesday, I have a few basic recipes, though it mostly boils down to the discipline of having 5 meals a day and it's respective portioning.

Of course the first to go are sugary beverages (Which we do not Ingest), fast food of any kind (Actually just food prepared by us). Bread is not excluded but at least halved.

What worries me is the discipline of having the food made, In my personal experience that's the hardest part, not doing exercise or not eating fast food, but to find time and invest it in cooking.

She is a picky one, when I used to eat healthy I was like a machine, I swear sometimes I just ate some veggies and chicken with salt and nothing else (Partly because I was lazy and partly because it reminded me of the effort) In my case this worked and had an 17% Body fat. Hehe Alas, I'm at 26% at the moment, hehe.

​

Anyhow, I am pleased that she agreed to do this, she want's to get rid of Carbonated Beverages, even if they have no sugar. I know salt gets you bulkier, but it's just water, and I do know salt has an effect on our blood pressure, but I don't really mind, at least at the beggining when it will feel like everything is flavor less.

I am not yet at the point of enjoying water with slices of lemon and cucumber just yet, my pallets are too stimulated, but she wants to, seems a bit fired up about it... I mean I guess I agree, Soda is actually not that cheap *Chugs soda* But I guess I am going to miss it.

I think this girl could be the one I end up sharing my life with... I mean, I see it has potential, I just want us both to become as fit as I used to be and then... simply let go slowly over the years and then just feel good of what we achieved... Idk who knows, maybe we both die as two fit 90 year olds.

27F, 79Kg with 40% fat. I need help, I can’t loose weight. I am sick?

Hi. I have monitored my weight for years, I am recovered from first anorectic, second bulimic and third, binge eating disorder. As well as one year with extreme healthy eating and exercise 3x every day.

I have a new problem. I am sick, fat and tired. I eat low calorie and IF I eat dinner one day - I gain one KG. My doctor say I only have calcium and D vitamin deficiency. What’s wrong with me? I’ve been to the doctor with having so much excessive water in my feet’s that I turned white and lost feelings in my feet’s. They said, they don’t know.

I don’t feel bad about eating, I like healthy food, I actually don’t really like sweets or candy or chips. I enjoy natural and healthy foods. As an recovered anorectic I do count calories without even wanting too - I know the calories of every single object and I can literally weight the food with my eyes over years of measuring foods up on my scale.

I have monitored my eating closely. On average I am around 600kcals each day (I eat chicken, salads, eggs mainly)

The doctor suggested eating more to get my digestion working better.

I ate around 1100 kalories every day for 2 weeks, and I gained 6 kg.

Now what??? Now, what do I do?

I am sick, I have a treadmill I use (almost) every day, some times 10 minutes and I stop while crying because I am so exhausted I lay down to the floor and want to die. Other days I am capable of 30 minutes, a couple of days ago I walked a long time while watching a film.

I am exhausted and sick, I don’t know what to do. Next step is to starve myself to the point that I loose fat and maybe get healthier this way? What do I do?

I really, really, need help. Please.
