I’m not cheating or under calculating calories. I know you aren’t supposed to weight yourself daily but I’m n the past, seeing…

Inital weight loss: assume it is all water?
Hi I have been eating pretty badly recently so on Sunday I modified my diet and am starting to exercise. One of the things I changed was from toast for breakfast to porridge, and cut out snacking of bread rolls etc. And I put myself on a calorie count that aims to lose 0.25kg a week. So quite a modest calorie deficit. I've…

Anyone try the weight loss "betting" sites like healthy wage or others?
I was curious if anyone has tried, and what their experience has been with, the sites that let you bet on a weight loss goal. From what I've been able to gather, you win the bet if you lose 4% of your weight in a month. They also let you set a long term goal and if you meet that, you can make a lot more depending on goal…

Easy vs. Difficult
In the zone... All downhill... Highly motivated... Easy sailing... When it clicks... Whatever you call it, do you experience extended times when minding your food intake is pretty near effortless? Conversely, are there times when curtailing calories seems darned near impossible? I'm not talking about specific events or one…

Eat more when exercising?
Hi! I’m on a 1400 calorie a day plan to lose 1.5 lbs a week. I swam laps for 35 minutes today, and I am going to play basketball tonight which burns about 700 calories according to my Fitbit. Should I eat something extra? Or just enjoy the bigger calorie deficit?

Almost a Year In--Ozempic Journey so far
Warning, this will be long. But I have so much to talk about. Today, 7weeks before I hit the 1 year mark of starting Oz, I finally hit the 50lbs down mark! I thought I would be more emotional about it. And, while I know others have lost at a much faster clip, I am very happy with this slow progress. It's been 45 weeks and…

Fasting Anyone?
I think its helpful for the right reasons. As far as for weight management I've found it helpful to do as a way to reset my appetite and take a back seat to some of the stress I've been experiencing relating to food.

Binge or splurge?
I've been noticing that the word "binge" gets thrown around a LOT on these boards. But the thing is, most of the time, the posters are not talking about a true binge, but a splurge. There is such a huge difference between over eating (splurge) and eating uncontrollably. True, for some people that loss of control may…
