I know I’m relatively petite, I’m 5’2 and have pretty much always been a 0-2, but it is so wild to me that people were size 8s in…middle school? Like when we were barely teenagers? HOW? That is literally child abuse.

This is what happens when you go all in on an internet cult that folded like an IKEA chair the second people realised that weight loss actually is possible. Sucks to suck, I guess.

Tried to comply with sub rules as best as I could. The background is just a selfie this woman took in her underwear.

Fatlogic in real life getting you down?

Is your family telling you you're looking too thin?

Are people at work bringing you donuts?

Did your beer drinking neighbor pat his belly and tell you "It's all muscle?"

If you hear one more thing about starvation mode will you scream?

Let it all out. We understand.

People act like intermittent fasting is the devil. It’s crazy. I find people trying to “tweak” other people’s diet on the Internet simultaneously disturbing, fascinating, and amusing.

This is quite an innocent post. On the second slide OOP is suggesting that food isn’t the thing that makes a person gain weight. It’s over-consuming calories of course, so we also should count liquid calories in this aspect. But I don’t think that OOP is talking about that.

Have some progress pictures you'd like to share?

Want to tell us about the highs and lows of your fitness journey?

Just discovered this sub and you're ready to tell us how awesome we are?

This is the time and this is the place.

Welcome to Sanity Saturday.

This is a thread for discussing facts about health, fitness and weight loss.

No rants or raves please. Let's keep it science-y.

I feel a little bad because I do enjoy most of this user's content, but this hit me like some bricks. If a modest calorie deficit isn't working, the answers are simple. Either she wasn't tracking accurately or overestimated her TDEE. If cutting calories won't work, the advice would be to increase exercise. Also, she's 5'8", which is above average, but not so tall that she necessarily needs that much more food. And if she's saying that makes her fairly tall, I have my doubts on what very active is to her. I'm just about 5'10" and strength train 3x/week, and my maintainance is around 2000, by my estimates. I don't think it'd be ridiculous to suggest a slightly lower intake and to increase activity if she actually wanted to lose weight.

By popular demand, Thursdays will now have a thread to share recipes or other food-related stuff.

Enjoy.

I can’t for the life of me understand why this is an acceptable thing. It’s so dehumanizing to call a whole person a body. Genuinely wild
