I have felt very discouraged while being on the forums lately (many beginners who think of themselves as "experts" and actively ignore/attack veterans who are trying to help) but the fact that this thread is still going gives me hope! Thank you!

So I indulged for the past 5 days. Didn't count calories and didn't count drinks. Tomorrow is back to work and back on the grind. Gym and lunch bags are packed, and I have most of the day pre-logged.

Honestly I plan on drinking thursday. And possibly friday. But alcohol free tonight and yesterday!

This past week was awful, alcohol and food wise. I think Thursday was the only night I abstained. But between a funeral, a birthday party, and friends visiting it was bound to happen.

**I think you mean your TDEE is 2000, not BMR

September 1st my waist measurement was 36 inches (at that point I had already lost 13 pounds). My waist is now 31.5 inches. Very motivating because the scale hasn't budged much in the past few weeks

149.4. Things are slow moving. But any progress is good progress!

Well, it's Monday and I have a beer in my hand. Luckily it fit into my calories, but still not ideal.

Went and got Mexican food and margs last night. Tried to best guess log it, and I came close to an estimated 2000 for the ordeal. That is awful! 8 months ago, though, I was going for margs and food at least once a week. So it makes sense that I packed on so much weight after Christmas lol. I am glad that this is a…

I got my scale from amazon for $8 and it works great. The point of weighing your food is to ensure you are logging accurately. Before my scale, I was guessing cooked chicken portions and overestimating by at least an ounce every day. That adds up.

I've been taking the pill for about 5 years and I've definitely gained weight since then, but who doesn't gain weight after high school? Lol. So it's hard to say if that's the cause. I will say that I think my bc effects my moods and definitely makes me bloated. I get irritable very quickly and feel fatigued very often. I…

I don't think it's "wrong" perse. But those extra couple hundred calories will add up if you never log your wine calories. Just log them next time :)

Sober since Saturday :) lately I have been so hungry that I've needed all of my calories for actual food tho lol

It seems I stand corrected on the deficit. I worked the math in my head again and that makes sense. In any case, one week is really nothing. Stick to things for a few weeks. If after a few weeks the scale doesn't budge, then it may be time to make adjustments. Also , I would recommend checking out the stickied posts…

Omg. Just wait. Also, 1000 calories a day diet, or a 1000 calorie a day deficit? Both sound wrong. You should be eating 1200 calories a day MINIMUM. And I highly doubt you could burn enough calories to have a 1000 calorie deficit.

Thank you :)

I buy a pack, half them and either grill with garlic seasoning or bake marinated in small amounts of fat free Italian. Both are good options and you can portion out in your desired weight. Or only cook half a pack at a time and freeze the rest for the future

Update: currently at 150.

Last night was sober as I was DD. Worked out well :) going to enjoy some beers tonight

ground turkey, frozen salmon, fresh or frozen broccoli, spinach, yogurt, cucumbers, carrots, peppers, tomatos, mushrooms, granola bars, hot sauce, chicken breast, skim milk, wheat bread, apples, blackberries, turkey lunch meat for the bf. These are pretty much my staples, with variations based on what is on sale/in season.…

Hello all, I would highly suggest setting less aggressive goals. While eating at 1200 cals may be the "fastest" way to lose weight, it is also the easiest to get burnt out.

Good job everyone! I abstained sun-wed but had 2 shocktops tonight. This week has been strange for many reasons so I ended up Eating close to maintenance for the majority of the week. While I do feel a little guilt about it, I'm not trying to let the shame monster get to me. Tomorrow is a new day :)

All of my black dress pants I wear to work are extremely baggy on me, including the size 8s I ordered less than 2 months ago. This kind of stinks, but it is an issue I can get over :)

I don't really want to get in to it. I think he has the right to be upset, but I think he has been overreacting. Last night was better towards the end of the night, we will see about tonight. I do have a bad habit of drinking so much that I black out a couple times a year, and I think that is part of why he is so mad. It's…

Thanks for the support. I don't think others are worried about it, but my boyfriend is very upset with me. Worst feeling :/

I drank way too much at a party last night and made a fool of myself. I think I'm going to cool it on the booze for awhile
