I feel like my eyes might be playing tricks on me, too. I don't really notice my clothes fitting differently, but then again I never had any particularly tight clothing to notice if its tighter? So I can't even be certain. I just don't get how my weight fluctuates so crazily when I diet but when I say screw it for two…

That makes a lot of sense :o Thanks!

I'm in Niagara Falls. Female, 22 years old and an illustrator. :)

Oh! I do have a vegan cookbook. I actually was vegan for quite awhile so I've got quite a few. Thanks for reminding me!

Just added sugars! And I am going to repeat a lot of my meals but they are getting kind of boring/unexciting. I'd like to try new recipes/snack ideas to keep me interested/motivated

Thank you everyone for your input! I appreciate the encouragement

Yes 2 pounds a week is what I'd like but if its unrealistic maybe I should lower it a bit.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the input, maybe my other thread isn't as necessary anymore. I probably am consuming more calories than I think I am, I'm excited to go out and buy a scale so I can log more accurately. My muscles have been sore so the thought of my body holding water to repair them makes sense.

I'd like to lose weight. I'm 189 pounds, 5'8, female and 22 years old (if the stats help) I'd like to be at 140 pounds.

Ahh I'm so confused. I posted a thread about this in particular to get some more thoughts and opinions on the matter. I really don't know cause I hear so many conflicting opinions. I'm eating too much, I'm eating too little. No clue. Definitely going to get a scale though so I can be more accurate with my logging.

Thanks Meagan! I'd like to do more weight training but at the moment I only have a couple 15 pound hand weights to work with and there's only so much you can do with that! My eating habits prior were honestly not to bad, I cook everything from scratch at home, it was just a matter of eating large portions, snacking between…

Thank you all so much for your support and help. It's made me feel much better and gave me some good advice I'll have to try out! This is such a wonderful and kind community

Oh my gosh thanks RoxieDawn that chart is super helpful and makes me feel a bit better! :love:

Thanks for all the input guys! I think I need a scale to weigh my foods, but I usually will use measuring cups to measure out things like rice, cereal, milk etc. I think I may just need to give it more time, but I'd still like some critique on my diet if people see the need to point something out or any other helpful tips…
