I work in emergency medicine and i can tell you that if you went septic, yes you almost died. this is no joke for your body and shouldnt be taken lightly. Please do not worry about gains or weight right now! As people above have said focus more on eating as clean and healthy as possible and just recovering. Your body needs…

When i was really fit, working out constantly my BP was 116/64 usually with a RHR of 60 just about. Over the course of a year and a new job and a traumatic death in the family i gained 30lbs and now my BP is 130/80 and RHR is about 70. Ive been working out and losing weight so im looking forward to getting back to my low…

I LOVEEEEE the Breyers one. Much better than Halo Top in my opinion. Maybe not as ideal macros wise but still very easy to fit into your calories and i love ittt. I got the chocolate one and it was perfecttt

If anyone fat shames you in the gym then you deserve to punch them right in the dick!! I absolutely love seeing people who are trying to better themselves go hard in the gym, at any weight. For me, the gym is what really helped my body change for the better. I was losing weight with cardio and hit my goal weight of 180 so…

I really don’t like using my fitness pal‘s method on calculating calories because when I first started this journey a couple years ago they had me at 1300 cal and I was literally starving it was so miserable. And I had put all my information in correctly.

Amazing story!! Soda was my biggest addicted. 14 days without soda!! I found some light pink lemonade, its been my substitue whenever i crave something other than water. Good job!!

Love all your stories everyone!!! Glad we all found something to kick our butts into shape!!

Thanks for all the responses!! I plan on trying alot of it!!

Omg THISSSS is what im looking for. A calorie friendly cheese fries recipe?! Hell yesssss!!

My post cut off but im also wierdly looking forward to not being out of breath when i tie my shoes! That belly squishinng really takes your breath away! Also feel free to add me! Be advised though, i am a diary stalker!

Im 6 feet also with a goal of 185! Started 208, and went to 196 in a month. Stopped and got back to my bad habits and now im 203 again! Grrrr addd me! Im trying to get back on track Monday i hope!

The last time i had one it felt like chewy chalk that someone put a little sprinkle of coco on. It was fckingggg awful

Theres a recipe for Santa Fe chicken! Its AMAZING! Put it over rice and it is literally so delicious. Its a nice mexican style chicken. Its low calorie, only 188 calories per cup! I meal prepped it for like 2 weeks straight! https://www.skinnytaste.com/crock-pot-santa-fe-chicken-425-pts/

Slightly irrelevant to my post buttttt alrighty then lol

Wait im sorry but im a bit confused. How am i deficiting at 1500 a day?? I thought that was my weekly deficit. Break it down in slow people terms for me haha cause everytime i do my calorie calculators and such theyre all around 2100/2200 for maintainence so at 1800 that should be a 2000 or so deficit a week. I thought i…

My goal is 185 and im at 197 now. I think for me maintainence is about 2200 so im eating 1800 or less some days. I started at 208 in mid January and am now 197

Okay so more details for yall. Im 25 years old. 5 foot 11. Athletic build but gained a few extra pounds over this year my activity slowed. I started 25 days ago at 208 and am now 197. So total ive lost 11lbs in about a month. I eat usually around 1600 but these days ive been extra hungry so im hitting just about 1800 or…

i think he meant 500 calorie surplus as in to burn 500 calories extra...orrr he made a mistake and meant to write deficit but i think it was a miscommunication

Just saw your updated post, im a little late. Its definitely the eye balling of the food and the going out on the weekends that is killing it for you. You need to deficit i think 500 calories per DAY to lose 1lb per week (3500 cal deficit per week) so if you do great monday-friday and over eat saturday and sunday, you wont…

How many calories are you eating per day? Im 5 foot 11, 197lbs and workout a couple times a week and i never go about 1800. If you are eating above that amount, it could simply be that you arent at the deficit that your body needs. You should go to various calorie calculator websites and check how many cals you need.

girl i dont know where you live, but i dont want to live there! Haha im from New York, city that never sleeps! So theres lots of late night options. I do love dancing but tonight in particular we are going to a pool bar and play some billiard and eat/drink...its gonna be difficult to sweat those calories away and i dont…

Well first off, i believe salads are the devil...so i will never have one of those things! lol and second, they never give me grief or try to make me eat, its just my own self control. Eating fcking grilled chicken all week and then you see cheese fries infront of you, its so so hard for me to resist!!

girllllll trust me i know its so difficult! Really though ive been having some better days and just accepting that the scale may not always move. As long as youre doing everything you can, thats what matters. Dont cheat yourself though, dont pretend like youre doing great and logging everything if youre sneaking that…

Are you like my sisters boyfriend who would on occasions find a dresser drawer instead of the bathroom!? hahah

You have to be sure youre logging the appropriate calories and as many have said getting a food scale really helps. MFP would tell me 4oz of potatoes and before my scale id be logging 4oz and actually eating 10oz without even knowing and just using my "judgement". Everything counts especially including liquids and…

Thanks everyone! Ive been trying to drink more water as well but ill give the late night trick a try!

Also, not sure why this thing auto corrected one of my words to "Kitten"...did i curse!? lol

Mine was tight pants but also fuckwads at work talking *kitten* behind my back about how i "let myself go"......*kitten*....lol 12lbs down and im still salty about it

Ofcourse it is! My first time around here i had a cheat day! not even a cheat meal, a cheat day every single Sunday. I lost 50lbs with no issue. Having a cheat meal/day is very important because it makes it not so painful and also gives you something to look forward to. I also cheat on special occasions like holidays or…

Always eat a couple meals a day! I have always always had success with it. I couldnt even imagine eating 2 meals a day. Id die of starvation for sure haha its proven that more meals a day, 5-6 smaller meals per day is actually better for metabolism and successful weight loss rather than 2 meals. 2 meals seems more like…
