@aliciap0116 Thanks! I was happily surprised last night after leaving the bath that my foot was a lot better! It's definitely all the well-wishes. ;) @Terytha Suspenders? I hate belts, too. Pants with elastic or ties are good, too.

@KoolGeex The other thing you should consider is investing in spices. I would assume you don't want too much salt either so putting things like more garlic powder and rosemary (+ others for complexity) or something like that would make a difference. I can't remember exactly how much I weighed. I think it was 200-210 lb and…

(Sorry for the double post everyone!) You can do it! In fact, it looks like you're already almost a quarter of the way there! What kinds of changes have you made so far to get you where you are?

I went to university for a meeting, where there was free pizza and then a bake sale fundraising for my organization. So of course I bought sweets and got snacks. I will not be surprised if tomorrow I am up over 200 again, but I do know it's only fluctuations. I am still hoping I will be under officially in a week's time. I…

@KoolGeex Ahhhh! Congrats!! That is a very exciting news, and good luck! It's definitely a good idea to lose weight before that surgery. I didn't, and while I don't entirely regret it (I definitely wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't done it), my results would be a lot different. I definitely need a revision in the…

I have good news, I have slightly upsetting news. I weighed in at 198.8 lb today (woohoo ONEderland again, I see you!). I weighed twice because I didn't believe the scale. I still don't believe the scale. I'll check back in a week to see if the scale was accurate. The slightly upsetting news is that due to being more…

Well, he'd starve. But my guess is that a man who ate in that deficit he might develop nutrient-deficiencies, anorexia nervosa, other cognitive impairment, and could develop many other disorders/diseases.
-
You got this! Buy a food scale! Track your food! Also I just figured out a secret to measuring dressing, or other things you would add directly to food to be cooked: Tare the scale with the whole container on it, and then weigh it again once you've removed the quantity you're going to use. I can't believe I'd never done…

Most people eat more? --- I second the 0.36g/lb (or 0.8 g/kg) just for a sedentary lifestyle, according to ISSN guidelines. You should be at 0.55-0.9 g/lb (1.2-2 g/kg) to gain muscle.

I don't have plans except university. Thursday is open except a lunchtime meeting though so I may even walk home from school. Good news/good news: I got almost 8k steps in today, and I got back from the doctor: my A1C and BP are great. It's day 3 of trying to eat more protein and I'm getting better at it. I even bought…
-
In some ways I consider myself at day 1 every day. I've only been back and forth for 6 years, but I do understand what it's like to give up or just idly let things slide. I had/have 100 lbs to lose (I haven't settled on my UGW as 100-125 lb). Try to add as many friends as you can on here. I find looking at the feed more…
-
I just started intermittant fasting because I realized there was no point in eating at 5 am when I get up if I'm just gonna be hungry by 10 am anyway. I don't have any progress to share. Only pitfall being getting used to being hungry again, but I guess progress-ish is seeing that each and every day, I feel less and less…

Not a woman but afab, that ok? HW: 226 lb (May 2019) SW: 201.4 lb (Feb 1 2020) CW: 201.2 lb GW1: 194.5 lb by March 1st. LGW (long term goal 1): 159.2 lb by August 1st. Goals were adjusted from last year's goals, considering I'm 18.2 lbs higher than I meant to be by this date, but I'm not adjusting my goal at August 1st of…

On bras... Found one that fits but I wore it all day one day this week and came home with dermatographic lines where the band was. smh. @bold_rabbit I am totally conscious of the pink tax! I look for items that are neutral usually. I don't pay for gendered services tbh. I cut my own hair, for example. Which I've been…

Angsting.

Lots of positive things on here! Here's a negative! For me, losing 25lbs and not looking any skinnier. Maybe even looking fatter. :/

You will only have to log so long as you haven't found your rhythm. I can get away with not logging and I will basically just maintain now (within 5 lbs) wherever I'm at. Doesn't help when I'm still trying to lose 80-100 lbs but it goes to show that no, not everyone has to log to maintain. You have to figure out what works…
-
Ultimately they're roughly equivalent. Just consume the one that works for you. If you can get your protein from vegetables, more power to you, but if whey works, then go for it. (Just an FYI since I don't know your goals, the ACSM recommends 1.2-1.7 g of protein per kg of body weight to build muscle.)
-
In no way am I diagnosing you, nor am I encouraging this, but what you are doing sounds a lot like anorexia. You will lose weight fast, but you could be damaging your organs, including your liver, kidneys, and heart by doing this. Whether or not it is anorexia (by which again, I am not suggesting, rather I think you should…

I’m 5’1” and ~200 lbs! My goal is fit and another 80-100 lbs to go, started at 226 lb last May. Been “off-season” (unmotivated plateau) since August.
-
Tcunbeliever, I will try to find a bra shop. Or balls to start transitioning in this rural town. (Fortunately we have resources, unfortunately we also still have an ABUNDANCE of backward hicks.) Bold_rabbit, I totally feel that. I’ve always been curvy, no thigh gap, etc etc even when I was 100 lbs. I size up for boxer…
-
I used to be boxer-briefs all the way, until I went on vacation in spring and bought ExOfficio “give-n-go” men’s briefs. Got me back into brief style. I gave in and bought hip-style women’s underwear and wear those most days. I still think boxer-briefs are great for thigh rub, but only if I invested in new ones, since they…

A pb chewy bar. Buuuut I’m making brunch soon, and that’s eggs, broccoli, baked potato, vegan dumplings, and some form of juice or coffee.
-
Honestly the fact that no one has noticed I’ve dropped nearly 30 lbs (28 lbs today) and about 3 levels on BMI since May is discouraging actually.
-
All in all I think I took an entire month off. Technically gained 1.2 lbs but I don't know if I ever got down to 197.8 or not. Since it's within a few lbs I'm calling it maintenance. Getting back on the wagon after no excuse, then a cold. I'm 27 lbs down (69.9%) of 38.6 lbs that I want to lose by the end of the year. Just…

As an obese person, I will say two things: 1) You have to be kind to yourself and you should be kind to each other because like many have said, you don't know anyone's story. Even if their troubles have nothing to do with their weight, it's icing on the cake when you say rude things. And 2) Being obese is very unhealthy…
-
I used to think giving up was easier. That being fat was easier than taking care of myself, getting skinnier and fitter, and feeling better about myself. I still have depression and anxiety and chronic pain, and concern myself with worries that this will or won’t be the cure (hint: it’s not), but in the mean time, if I’m…
-
Yes! My scale says 199 lbs today (about 27 lbs lost this year since my high in May) so as of now I have at least 65-70 lbs (if not more) to lose to get to goal! Because of pain I am currently on the “flailing around” workout plan technique. Bright side is my muscles have always been easy to build, down side is it’s quick…
-
I’m 5’1” and something like 41-43-45 currently, at 199 lbs. In high school I was about 50-30-38 at 120 lbs. Yes those are the approx measurements (basically for all intents and purposes just ignore the chest). I have always had big hips and thighs, but I have gained most of my weight in my stomach, face, and thighs/hips.…

I find (for me, personally) that I am "The Garbage Man," and saying otherwise is (again, for me personally) shaming me for wanting sweets and maybe overindulging sometimes. Should I do it? No, and I know some people would disagree with me entirely, and tell me I shouldn't ever do that. There are should's and could's and…
