I feel your pain. I'm at in the same boat and on top of that I have diabetes.

I should probably see a dietician. And I already have problems because in my teens I didn't take care of myself whatsoever and now I'm paying for it but I got my blood sugars down and my a1c was great last time I went and now all of a sudden everything is out of wack and my weight isn't going down.

@LadyOfTheRaven do you add cream to your bulletproof coffee? I've looked up numerous recipes and a lot of them are butter and coconut oil and a couple have been all three, do you have a favorite recipe you use?

@geordielass40 thank you for replying to my thread it's much appreciated. I'm trying my best, since posting that thread I'm down almost ten pounds but it's been a struggle. I'm trying to adapt to a low carb high fat diet but it hasn't been easy and I'm having trouble finding one that's easy to maintain, can you give me…

Thank you for all the replies I am a type 1 so this helps but I see my endo in a couple weeks so I'll probay get more of an insight when I go

It's all good I'm just trying to find the support somewhere and here seems to be a good place to look

I try to put 800 aside for dinner or sometimes more. But isn't it bad to eat that much all at once especially towards the evening? My dinner is usually between 5-8 depending on the shift I work but it's never later than 8. Idk why I have to force breakfast down but then dinner I'm all in lol

I also purchased a espresso machine and its definetly saved me money. I bought the nespresso and I love t because I can make coffee and espresso with it. I bought the sugar free torani syrups and torani dark chocolate sauce (100 cal for two tablespoons) I don't add milk I usually do half and half of I choose to add a dairy…

Why not? I drink dark roast and usually add 1-2 shots espresso also

I'm not a huge milk fan And I'm obsessed with coffee but I can't do black coffee, I'll do the powdered creamer or 2-4 tablespoons of half and half with a couple packets of generic sweetner on a daily basis but otherwise I'll add two tablespoons of dark chocolate sauce or some sugar free torani syrup to my coffee if I'm…

The thing is I have a lot to lose. I gained 60 at my previous job because of the stress and anguish that it caused. Then 20 more on top of that to get to my goal of 150. I am really looking to lose 2 lbs a week. I have a job where I'm on my feet and walking all day so I put lightly active. I don't understand the whole TDEE…

My aim is for 2 lbs a week so should I stay in the 1500s?

What's IIFYM? Sorry I'm slow lol

I figured it was a scam but when you're in that mindset of wanting to lose it so bad, anything sounds good

I'm looking to lose 80. 60 to start but 80 for my ultimate goal. I'm having problems though and having type 1 diabetes doesn't help...

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. I'm trying so hard to break through the struggles but it's definitely hard. My blood sugars are pretty good but they aren't as good as they could be. I went from having an A1C of 16 to now having one of 8.9. Doctors want me to get on the pump after I get it down to 8.5…
