Tirzepatide is really quite amazing
I have been away for many years. From May 2017 to Apr 2018 I dropped my weight from 274 to 163lbs. I used a macros approach by making sure I hit a protein, fat and fiber lower limit each day and kept my calories below some limit to keep me losing. I eat back exercise and did quite a lot of exercise. I did pretty well until…

From almost 300 to under 200 lbs, still needing support - WHY?
I started my weight loss back in 2010. I am so glad I did!! Fast forward to 2025. I had weighed almost 300 lbs, and now under 200 lbs. I didn't do this on my own; like many of us, I needed support.

Weighing food after years of counting cals
Hi! This is my first time posting, but I have a question that’s been bothering me for a while. A few years ago I lost a lot of weight (almost 100 pounds) without weighing food at all, granted I was eating too little, therefore I was in a deficit with a lot of extra room. Anyway, I consider myself to be pretty well versed…
