Anyone else still in “Thanksgiving Mode” and eating on the leftovers? I couldn’t bring myself to just toss them. A lot of factors are holding me back from getting back on track. My babies are sick, my s/o has been off work all week, lazy movie days for the past 3 days. Eating these leftovers and not ordering DoorDash is just where I am now 😅

Does anyone normally eat a big breakfast then just have a small dinner to aide with weight loss? Plus 1 cheat meal a week on weekends. How effective was this for you?

I used black beans, bell pepper, crushed and baby tomatoes, jalapeños, onion and seasoning. I just slow cook it for 6 hours so it can be ready for dinner. I used to not like chili as a kid but now that I’m older and can make it vegetarian based, I like chili during the colder months.

I have been in a 500 calorie deficit for quite a couple of months now, and use a TDEE calculator to figure out how much I should eat to maintain this. I’ve always put my lifestyle as sedentary, as I did not see myself as particularly active. However, my friend has said that I am too active for this category, so I thought I would make a post to ask for advice.

I get 10,000 steps every day (except sometimes on Sunday) and go to the gym at least once a week (if not twice). My preferred workout when there is 45 minutes on the stair master at level 8. I also rock climb at least once a week. However, I don’t really do any extra physical activity apart from these things, and don’t have a manual job.

Any guidance would be much appreciated 🙌

Anyone incorporate Ensure Protein shakes in their diet plan? Is it worth it for weightloss?

A LOT has gone wrong in the past two days and my emotional fortitude is kaput :( I have really bad anxiety and I'm finding weighing food and figuring out calories and logging them to be paralyzingly stressful right now. So all I've eaten is a protein bar because I could easily scan the barcode with my app.

Everyone's advice will be: give yourself grace, don't track calories today. Maybe that's what I should do. But if I give myself permission to not track today, what about tomorrow? I'm going to be stressed and unhappy tomorrow too. And the day after, and frankly I'm probably entering a depressive episode (bipolar) so things are going to be hard for a while. I'm just worried that this would be the beginning of falling off the wagon.

Not really sure what to do. Just stressed, depressed, and discouraged

I'm completely demotivated and I could use some advice/reassurance

I'm 21 trans woman, 165cm and ~80kg.

I downloaded loseit in late september, and I have stuck to an avg of ~1200-1300calories a day, with around 100g of protein a day.

• I workout with both cardio and weights 3-4times a week. ~4hrs a week
• I play football with uni ~2-4 hrs a week
• I cycle everywhere I go, so about ~4hrs a week too.

Despite this, I haven't lost any weight, maybe 1-2 kg max, of doing this for over 2 months.

I've cut out oil from my cooking, I cut almost all UPFs, I cut out carbs like rice/bread/pasta, and I vehemently avoid sugars, sweets, sodas etc.

I'm doing everything right, and yet I'm not losing any weight! I dont even know how it's possible!!! how is my body still functioning with nearly half the normal calories and so much exercise and yet not burning any fat!

I'm on hormones and I know this can affect my weight, but I don't know what else I can do anymore and I wonder if anyone has had any similar experiences or has any advice for what to do.

I've spent the past week eating ~2000kcal bc i suspect my body is in "starvation mode" and preventing fat burn, but I'm gonna go back to my ~1300kcal a day routine from next week

EDIT: I am counting correctly! I track every tiny thing, and I'm often mean with my counting, even if I'm wrong, my calories would be 1500-1600, it should still be way less than the 2000kcal mark.

I binged really badly. Like I've already eaten a little over my weekly calories bad. Do I just eat like I normally would? Restrict more than usual? How far will this set me back? If it matters, I just started my period so I guess that'd explain why I've been so ravenous haha

hi everyone! i have a bit of an odd question lol.

so my partner has always been super thin naturally. her entire life. she does not understand anything to do with dieting. she is a black void and i have no idea where all her food goes.

in the last half year i’ve been steadily losing weight. (195 - 156 lbs) and she is genuinely concerned that i have an eating disorder.

i have always been a bit obsessive with things i care about, and so i tend to talk about my food and progress often. as well as my insecurities. but i loosely track my calories just to make sure im still in a deficit but i definitely have treats i dont bother counting so the actual total im not aware of. i estimate it on a typical day to be between 1200-1400.

i have the worst sweet tooth so sometimes i bank those calories for a little treat which makes it seem like i eat even less than i do.

anyways after thanksgiving i was feeling really bloated and uncomfortable and my body just felt really icky so i thought i would try fasting for awhile and stick with that for a few months and see how i feel, if not to just try something new.

im afraid however this will spur her into thinking even WORSE of my dieting routine. and i dont want that. we live together and have been together for 6 years now.

any advice? anything i say falls on deaf ears

Hey everyone, as we are really getting into the soup/slow cooker season I wanted to see if anyone had some good suggestions. Before calorie counting I would make really filling high calorie soups like broccoli cheddar or a thick beef stew. Now I’m finding that I’m craving a good hearty soup but not finding much that meets the craving but doesn’t take half my daily calories in one meal. We basically eat anything and no food allergies so all suggestions are very appreciated!

Due to Thanksgiving break and everything I went over my budget ( a lot) a couple of times, but it’s only been like 3 days and I’m wondering if it’s all water weight or can you actually gain a kg from just a big Thanksgiving meal? It’s not a lot so I’m not worried but I’m simply curious. But I’ve been taking more walks lately and I also noticed some constipation.?
