Do you have access to a full kitchen? I love baked chicken leg quarters (it’s a thigh/leg combo good for 2 meals) bake at 375 for about 50minutes. Baked potatoes/sweet potatoes are cheap and you can make at the same time (bake for abt 30minutes). My bf never liked sweet potatoes but likes when I make them, I cut small…

I haven’t really been able to do squats since high school—I sprained my knee once at a sports practice and that knee has been really easily injured since. Its probably just my form, but I have managed to injure myself any time I try them so I’ve been avoiding them, especially now that the easily sprained knee is my “good”…

It sounds like you have a really healthy lifestyle which is a good thing! I am 5’4 so just a bit taller than you, and I went between 158-170 for most of my early 20s. At the time I wanted to lose weight bc I wanted to look thin, but I was probably happiest with my body at about 165. Even though I was on the high end of…

I don’t have bipolar but I do struggle with other mental health issues. Diet, sleep, and exercise make a big difference for me in managing symptoms. I also tend to get overwhelmed and eat junk out of stress or convenience. I have better luck when I keep it simple and set smaller goals to start (like maybe just eating…

That’s a good idea, thanks!

I get really bad headaches if I go too long without eating, my doc says a lot of ppl get hypoglycemic headaches. Idk abt your calorie goal but if you spread your eating out a little more it might help?

We got this! What does a modified keto diet look like?

Hi, I am looking for some friends and motivation as well, I also struggle wanting instant results. I’ve been stalled out for the last year and would like to get down about 25 lbs and get back in shape so I can be more active, hoping to find friends to keep on track if anyone wants to add me

That’s reassuring! I’m not too concerned by the caffeine as most of the time I drink no caffeinated stuff already, but I can tough it out for a week or so. Also the grapefruit juice is a good idea, I might pick some up next time I go shopping

It sounds like you are really struggling and you have a lot going on that you’re managing in addition to your weight, especially with things like stress eating, lack of confidence, and struggling without instant results, having no desire for the things you are doing. Therapy is really helpful if you ever can afford it, I…

Thanks!! I’m glad you hit your goals

That’s a really good point t about helping to cut fast food, getting a drink is definitely part of the appeal for me so cutting soda might be a 2 for 1 situation as far as bad habits go
-
That sounds interesting! We don’t have one at my gym but I might try the pillow thing. That’s fair, I didn’t realize how much treatments would vary. I don’t think I can get it diagnosed or treated right now, I don’t really have health insurance. I went to the dr after the injury out of pocket and they basically said…

Thank you! For a food scale, do the cheaper ones work? I’ve seen prices all over the place and don’t know how much you need to spend

Yogurt and granola, oatmeal, or homemade egg mcmuffins are my go-to breakfasts all about 300 calories

How do you recommend going about quitting soda? I know sugary drinks are my biggest source of empty calories, but I honestly feel kind of sick when I don’t drink them. I’ve been able to quit soda but only by subbing to juice/Gatorade which aren’t much better. I can drink unsweetened tea for flavor but I don’t know how to…
