    I've gained 20lbs

    edited November 2024 in Introduce Yourself
    I moved to a new city, where it's so easy to walk and order takeout. Out of no where I put on 20lbs!! I'm 5ft nothing and 130lbs... And although my fiancé says he still finds me attractive, I don't find myself attractive. HELP! Sugar is definitely the culprit! I live 3 blocks from the beach in tropical paradise and haven't been in probably 6 months because my long lost bathing suit body is missing!

      IIFYM lifestyle is what you need, enjoy eating good food and also cut body fat, took my wife ages to agree to let me structure her calorie needs but it's worked so well! I posted earlier today, more details there

      my key to success is using the myfitnesspal app. EVERYTHING you eat, log it. Keep your calorie intake below your red line each day and make an effort to walk everywhere you go. Think of that red line as your calorie "budget" you can't spend any more than that each day. If at the end of the day you still have something left for sugar, enjoy!

      5 feet and 130 isn't ridiculous, you probably think you stick out but you don't, to others you likely look healthy, because you are. Don't be so hard on yourself.

      Thank you! I do feel that way, but you're right.
