Weight loss accountability

deepprsad7965 · June 2019

Hi all,

I’m starting this forum so we can keep each other accountable for reaching our goal and prohibiting cheat meals/weeks. I feel I could go ten days with clean eating and then get pushed into the never ending cycle of eating due to cravings and regretting after the fact.

If this feels similar to what you are going through then please join me in this journey.

My goal is to lose 70 lbs and would like to achieve this by keeping myself accountable to you folks.

Clean eating doesn't exist, and being unnecessarily restrictive based on lies is what leads to binging.

What if you treated all food as equal and let yourself have that thing you're craving by fitting it into your calorie goals?

Do you think you'd get stuck in that cycle as often?

Speaking from experience as someone who tried and failed many times to lose weight due to unnecessary restriction (and the binging it caused), this may not be the mindset you want to lose weight. Thinking of foods as "good" or "bad" or assigning them a value in some way can lead to disordered eating and an unhealthy relationship with food. It did for me.

Finally, I've seen some success in losing weight, and I've lost about 23 pounds over the last 8 weeks or so. The difference this time around and why I feel much better about what I'm doing is I simply let myself have food without the feelings of guilt, without assigning value to food, and without restriction (besides calories). Focus on how the food makes you feel rather than if it's "clean" food, whatever that means.

I wish you luck and success. Feel free to friend me if you are looking for someone who keeps it real at all times. You will see days like today where I've eaten salad, lots of fruit, etc. but also the days where I have fried chicken and beer and go over my calories

I just don't beat myself up about it anymore.

No such thing as a cheat.

Eat it. Enjoy it. Log it.

By when do you plan to lose 70lbs?

Hi I would love to be part of this
Accountability is key for success.
I am down a total of around 80lbs and I feel great
Love this lifestyle and would never go back to my old ways

Guys, please friend me so we can watch our activities and calories consumed so we know we can be stopped when we either miss to log or log more than required so we always stay on track

@physed1111 i’m down 6 since I started, i’m assuming it’s water and little fat. After going through a lot of YouTube videos I feel I can achieve this within 7 months considering I can do 10 lbs a month. Again you might think that’s unhealthy but it’s said it’s safe to lose 2 lbs a week soon just gonna push it a little more to achieve 2.25 a week so I can be at 10 lbs loss every month.

@bradleyxavier congrats on achieving the results you wanted. Would you be able to say in how many months you lost 80 and what’s ur current weight at?

deepprsad7965 · July 2019

@LyndaBSS hey Lynda when I said cheat meal it’s something when I consume buffet food where I eat till I stuff my face and then feed bad about that decision. It’s just that food in front of me tempts me so much that I fall off track so easily and a person like me needs a lot more motivation than anyone else to just be on track and eat healthy.

deepprsad7965 · July 2019

@bjkoziara well I see that you posted 23 lbs fine in 8 weeks and that’s somewhere around 11 a month. That is a very good progress and it couldn’t have been achieved with absolute discipline and motivation to keep going. 8 weeks is almost 61 days and that’s a long journey to not fall off track. Congratulations.

@Terytha the problem with me not wanting to eat what I want is I just can’t stop if I like something and I e d up going beyond calories and feeling bad about the decision of letting me do that. It’s easier for me to stay away from foods I like rather than eat a little. I’m a foodie and restricting partly when I like something is what I have tried several times and failed.

@bjkoziara couldn’t send you a request, looks like it’s locked.
