YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Same (they/them or he/him pronouns) Feel free to add me! :)

It depends what your goals are, and how much you currently weigh. If you're not significantly overweight but above your 'comfort zone', I wouldn't worry about it too much– but maybe start tracking your calories for a little bit just to get an idea how much you're eating on a daily basis.

I don't know if I would bring the food scale At this point I'd say just eyeball it. Chances are you have a good idea how much is a typical amount of typical foods; just try to keep smaller portions in mind. As for the weight scale: I definitely wouldn't. (Daily fluctuations happen)

I think it's useful– both for motivation and for having a spotter if you do ever opt for exercises that need it. The only con I can think of is if you were embarrassed to make weird noises around them; or if you got distracted talking. But generally, yeah– as long as you're both there for the workout, having a gym buddy…

I'm down if you want! Feel free to add me as a friend.

I'm down (Personally, its more for the exercise than the calorie deficit.)

Honestly, no– but do /you/ notice a difference in how you feel? If the answer is also no, don't worry. It takes a while for things to kick in

The key is to set something up so it's more of a habit-related decision than a motivation-driven one. if you have trouble getting up in the morning to exercise, maybe try the evening; Try packing your exercise gear for the gym the day before (or…

I've noticed that while my energy levels haven't improved, they haven't dipped at all as a result of the exercise– which is something I was worried about happening, at least initially.

the thing that always amuses me is when (non-diabetic) people try to equate the sugar in fruit to pure table sugar or sodas.

I mean weigh yourself if you want either way– but every body is different; so if it's not what you expect it to be, don't sweat it. (I'm still figuring out when mine goes up tbh) Like generally the overall trend over several weeks is more significant.

bi gal here. :)

Honestly I stopped– I got to my goal weight, I no longer needed to track it, and I felt like I had gotten a fairly good idea for what a "normal" portion size looked like. Now I've gone back up over the past couple of years (as a result of eating more junk food, starting university, and not exercising), so I'm using this as…
