  • Can I join in (albeit with imposter syndrome)? I’m not sure if im in maintenance or just stalled but I’ve lost 35lbs over the last 10months and want to lose another 5-10, but since Christmas I’ve hovered around the same 3-5lbs. Any tips, support or just a nudge to stay on track welcome!

  • Just in case it helps, I suffer quite badly (and very suddenly) with vitamin D deficiency at this time of year if I don’t supplement diet. Even though I’m outside a lot, where I live there just isn’t enough sunlight, and I feel just like you describe. I take bit D all the time now on doctors advice.
    in Need help figuring out TDEE Comment by gorple76 March 2022
  • So many helpful responses, thank you! I’ve spent the weekend reading and thinking. I’m still a bit muddled in my thoughts - I’ve got to the point by logging everything (including activity), but not weighing food. My deficit initially was large, but this has diminished both naturally and intentionally over time. I think I’d…

  • Thank you everyone - all of your responses have resonated with me. I’m not sure yet what my next move will be. I think I’m nervous about a prolonged maintenance break in case I put weight back on from relaxing too much, but I know that’s a silly way to think about the whole thing. It’s something I need to get my head…

  • It happened a few weeks ago and I’ve struggled to process it. Someone called me slim. This is literally the first time anyone has ever said that about me. I had no idea how to respond - whether to laugh, cry, believe them or not. I must have looked like an idiot because I think I just stared at them, not able to say…

  • There’s so much I agree with on this thread - I’ve learnt to worry less about perfection and more about the bigger picture, I’m trying to make permanent changes that will hopefully maintain a healthy weight, that ultimately it’s CICO and everything else is just a route to getting that outcome. But the biggest switch in my…

  • I had minor surgery earlier this year (mole removed) and the dermatologist told me to massage the scar for 10 mins a day. He said it doesn’t matter what you use, it’s the massaging (and increasing blood flow to that area) that makes the difference. Obviously scarring and loose skin are different issues but when I asked if…

  • Maintaining my weight through the holidays - abd it’s working! Logging everything, weighing daily, but eating at maintenance (giving myself enough room to enjoy special meals) is working. Come January I’ll be able to pick off where I left off without feeling like a failure. Feels amazing.

  • This year I stuck to some minimal behaviours: - logged everything - Moved/exercised as normal - Weighed myself everyday (keeps me focused) - Aim to eat at maintenance on all days except my birthday (just before Christmas), Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve In previous years I would try to restrict, inevitably fail, and just…
    in How did you make it through Christmas without gaining ? Comment by gorple76 December 2021
  • Obviously it’s different for everybody, but what I’ve learnt over 5 years of on/off running is: - build gradually and don’t let it hurt. I started by aiming for 20-30 minutes being out. I started with intervals (really short ones of 20 paces run, 20 walk). Basically focus on time spent on your feet and pushing yourself a…

  • My mini goal is to get through my birthday, Christmas and new year maintaining my weight. I’m not at the weight I want to be yet But recognise that if I try to restrict calories on days I’m celebrating, I’ll ‘fail’, at which point I’ll just throw my hands up and think ‘well I may as well take the brakes off completely…
