I eat back every single exercise calorie and have no problems losing or maintaining as expected. Exercise calories are the tastiest 😋

So much here... First comparing yourself to your sister is going to set you up for disappointment... comparison is the thief of joy. Secondly, toxic family is toxic... my mental health is the most important thing to me and if someone (family or otherwise) is damaging it, they get a warning then cut off. I know different…

I hated how sweaty it made my VR set so I stopped using it for exercise 😅

Disordered eating is a slippery slope. Are you getting professional help for grief? Losing 5 lbs a week is not sustainable by a long shot and once you eat normally again you might gain.

I would be in marriage counseling for these glaringly obvious communication issues.

This happened to me as well when I was pregnant, sick to my stomach suffering from hyperemesis and not gaining weight. OB referred me to a nutritionist (which in the USA means no college or formal credentials) and she told me I need to eat more. 🙄🤦‍♀️ Gee I hadn't thought of that.

I drink :drinker: 🤷‍♀️

Nah I need my foo-foo cappuccino every morning. 🤷‍♀️

Exactly this... in addition, there are no magic foods.

How do people get to the community section without putting in stats and receiving results? Use the website as intended. KISS

Working on this will go a long way imho

Tracking has shown me that I need way more than 1200 calories to survive. Also I can drink and still lose weight. :drinker:

Keep going in your calorie deficit and eventually it will go away. You cannot spot reduce.

Google calorie counting out of curiosity, found MFP, the rest was history

A pat on the back and more goals

1. Keep it simple. 2. Read all the sticky topics here, they are full of information from users past who has a crapton of knowledge without the BS. 3. Worry about one thing at a time, master it, then go to the next (See number 1) 4. Profit

I rest. Sleep and rest is super important for me.

Just the occasional dumpster fire :laugh:

I would suspect you need to eat more.

This... you cannot spot reduce.

2214 today..... my last account had over 2500 days

Welcome and good luck

I don't subscribe to clean or healthy so I have no problems reaching my goals. 🤷‍♀️

MFP is set up to eat back your exercise calories, especially if you're hungry.

Same here... 🙌

How did you get to the community section without putting any stats when you first sign up?

That is what literally went through my mind 😆

I try to follow the DASH diet ever since I was diagnosed with hypertension after my last child... I'm also on Amlodipine which helps regulate

:laugh: That spoiler was full of truth. And OP 👌

I love it. Change is good. 👍
