If I am at a deficit, why am I not losing weight?

Thanks Dawnie

I honestly have take away because by the time I get home after 10 hours, I really ceebs cooking, and my partner isn't always home before me to cook.Plus we share a house with 8 other people, so if they have the kitchen we cant cook if we wanted to, and so take out is easiest.

I used to be really healthy when I started, and as soon as I didn't see results soon enough, I have slipped pretty badly. its been almost three months now, 10 days off it, and honestly I am no where near as disciplined as I was.

I skip meals because I feel sick often. Its genetic. I can barely ever eat before 9am otherwise I will throw it up, and by 9am at work(I start at 7) , there is barely any time for me to eat.

I don't take my lunch breaks because I am too busy all the time, so I don't eat lunch. Since I am so busy I don't feel hungry.

I don't really pay attention to the macros besides trying to make sure the fat percentage isn't too high. I should probably work on that, thanks.


I know not everyone has been nice, but I also know I want honesty about what I should do and my options. Most people have jumped to assume I just don't do things right and that's why, but I was doing everything right at the start, tried everything, and because I didn't see results fast enough I kinda let go of the strictness on myself.

I know I need to shape up and just start doing things right, I suppose I just need some tips on how to make sure I make time for other meals besides in the evening.

I also don't know if 2kg in 2 months is too little. I feel it is but I might have my bar set too high.

Thanks

I know calorie deficits work, which is why I know I must be doing the wrong thing here if I am not losing enough, I am not debating that at all.

Also if it says homemade, its usually made by my mother in law or a friend, if I did it myself I would weigh them on my scales.

When I select like 1/5 of something, I am generally over estimating. like if it is a big square pie, and I have a 9th of it, I will say I had a 7th or 6th, just to be sure. I cut cakes and such very small to try make sure I am not unknowingly going over.


I know it isn't the most accurate, I just struggle to find the time to be able to make sure everything is accurate, especially since I don't eat at home often due to the availability of the kitchen and when I get home etc.

Ok so you know my schedule and why it is so hard:

I wake up at 6, leave by 6:30, work somewhere with no access to food besides a jiffy van that only brings sausage rolls and pies, get home at about 6, so any healthy food options nearby have closed by 5:30 latest. Everyone else is cooking their dinner in the kitchen, the owner, and then the owners family, and then we are last, and no cooking after 9pm is the house rules. sometimes they don't finish til 8:45.

There is never room in our freezer for me to pre make and freeze meals, i have tried it. I got told off for taking up too much of the freezer, since there are literally 8 other people living with myself and my partner.

My options are limited. Due to time and the living conditions we are in. I am willing to look into any options that could work for me to become healthier as it is a huge goal of mine, I am just finding it incredibly hard to do so.

Also about the mcdonalds, my partner bought the family box as he is bulking to try gain. he couldn't eat it all, and over the course of about 5 hours, I picked away at the left over stuff. I actually should have only had the quarter pounder and small fries. Once again, i OVERestimated what I had eaten, I had 2 nuggets but I counted it as three and I only had a regular chips onto of my small chips, but i put it as large, and i only ha about half the big mac and logged it as a full one. I do the every time he buys that and theres stuff left over. I still logged it, i wasn't going to lie about it.

I have tried having tea, yoghurts, tuna, etc for breakfast. Usually makes me feel sick eating in the morning and by lunch I barely have time to breathe.

I find it hard to believe all of the people who ave had more success than me have the same problems, too.

I know I am not perfect and i have let myself slip quite a bit, but I am trying to get better.

Thank you to those with constructive criticism, and to those who are just being rude or negative, I am sorry someone hurt you or made you del like crap to the point you need to do the same.

If anyone has any advice as to how to fit nutritious eating into an extremely busy schedule, please let me know, I am very interested in becoming healthy and cutting out the bad food out of my life.

500 calories below what i am is 900. I don't think that is safe.

I need to find a better way to have meals, rather than takeaway, and better options for how to have 3 meals a day instead of one with my schedule.

I'm on 1400 now, but if i dropped 500 it would lave me at 900, is what i meant.

Yea i am going to try meal replacement shakes so at least I am getting something in me during the day, I only really have time to drink.

I do run around a lot at work, so I probably burn more in a day than I would think, but I don't count it.

I bring my wallet to work n case I need it for an emergency but I don't have anywhere near me to buy food anyway, I work in an industrial area.


I would love to pre prepare meals. my partner sometimes works weekends and it would be a great way to fill time till he came home too, all that cooking. But there wouldn't be anywhere for me to store it. We have a small fridge, and about 5 people share our fridge, and 5 share the other fridge in the house.

It's really hard, and I am not sure many other alternatives besides pre preparing, or eating out. The people we live with are very adamant about no noise between 10pm to 6am on weeknights, so waking up early to prepare isn't an option either as I would be getting up before 6am to do so, and the kitchen is right next door to the owners room, and his wife is a bit of a cow. The tiniest noise and she'll act like i was making a ruckus.
