Stuck at home! Eating everything in sight!
Well two weeks after hitting my goal of losing 100lbs, I've gained some back. This week I've been stuck in the house due to a winter storm, I'm from the south we don't do snow & ice, lol. So I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in, I have been an eating machine at night. I've done this before, lost a bunch of weight…

Getting sick after eating sweets/sugar?
Does anyone else seem to get sick after eating sweets/sugar? There have been several times where I eat something sweet or with a lot of sugar and get really sick after I eat it. Birthday cake with lots of frosting seems to be the worst. I get very bad stomach aches and my body rejects it. I do not know anyone else that…

Weight Loss Shot -- anyone tried it?
I have been approved online because of my morbid obesity, etc for the weight loss shot (weekly). They have a few options they suggest (Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda, Rybelsus, etc). Has anyone used these with any success? I am pre-diabetic and have high cholesterol (slightly) -- so they said it could also help with those. I…

Do you stop eating when you feel full?
I was wondering if people generally stop eating when they feel full or if they eat their total calorie allocation at each meal regardless of whether they feel full? Have you tried one approach and have it fail in some way? Why do you think that approach failed? If you eat only until you feel full, what are the cues that…

Stress Eating
My life has been a stress pit. My dog of 14 years died unexpectedly. It's is rush at work and I'm working 10-hour days where I don't have time to pee. My new meds have made me super constipated. I renovated my kitchen after 22 years back in September. I didn't have any water in the kitchen until Dec 27th. I should be happy…

Alcohol
So I was wondering how much alcohol prevents you from losing fat? Like if you have 2-3 beers a day? Would quitting that (obviously good to do) make weight loss easier?

Do I have to follow the macros to get the results or can I just follow the calories
My question is this, for x amount of calories it breaks down the micros. I was wondering if I could just eat the calorie amount (healthy foods) and avoid counting the macros to get the same results. Possible to lose 15lbs by the end of February eating 1150 calories?

Mealtime Time
My husband has just finished chemo and has been eating well throughout. He always prefers to eat the last meal of the day really early, like 2:30. This is a bad deal for me because I'm trying not to snack and eat at night. By 8:30, it's been 6 hours since I've eaten. I would prefer to eat about 5:30 or 6:00 but I don't…

Goal and target calories
I'm not sure I understand the goal and how many calories I'm allowed to eat. When I first set things up in the app for my weight loss goals, I was given a goal of 2000 calories. On a day like today, I exercised, had breakfast and lunch, and still have 2100 calories remaining. Does that mean I can eat another 2100 and still…
