JOIN ME TO LOSE 100 OR MORE IN 2024. This challenge is for those who need to lose 100+ My name is Lisa. I weigh more than 300 LBS. My goal weight is 200 LBS.

Calculating Macros
In the past I have liked high protein macros. A few years back I went to a bariatric doctor, where I also spoke to a dietitian. The plan they put me on according to a friend who does body building was equivalent to around 1200 calories a day. I did a plan like this years ago and fell of fast and gained even more. In…

"Anything is better than being obese"?
I've seen this idea kind of floating out there. Sometime it is said outright, some times you see it in peoples choices to cut really deep in deficits....A discussion about weight lose meds made me ponder this one. I think mostly it is true. Getting thinner makes you healthier across the board and increases lifespan. Where…

Intermittent Fasting - OMAD and TMAD
I have come to realise the only way I am successful is when I fast. I fast between 16 and 20 hours a day usually and just break my fast when I am hungry. I am just wondering how many people have had a successful weight loss doing this? I know some people are properly lifestyle serious with it, but what about people like me…

Zumba calorie burn
I find this hard to believe. I'm 331 lbs today. Zumba says about 400 calories. I'm guessing there are many factors involved like, do you actually do all the hopping up and down or do you just 2 step and wave your arms about like a beached sea animal <. LOL.

Weight-loss for beginners
Are you trying to lose weight but nothing works?! Do you know how many calories you eat a day? Not how many you are “suppose to eat “ , How many do you CURRENTLY eat daily? Most of us don’t. That is why when we try to cut out calories to only 1200 a day we fail dramatically because we’re yea to eating 2000+ and such a…

Funny😅 here for any…
