Thanks so much for all your feedback! I go for more blood work in the morning as the medication does need adjusting because I just don’t feel better. But some of this information has helped so much in understanding how weight loss really works because there is always so much debate on the internet. Carbs vs calorie…

So li lowered my calorie intake but 100 last week and I’ve lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks! Finally !

Should I get a digital scale for weighing ?

Each block of butter has 8 tablespoons so each little square is a 1 tablespoon .. thanks so much again for looking and seeing what I need to correct I really appreciate it I am going to take in all this advice!!

I think I fixed it! Lol .. would love any insight on diet changes!!

Thanks so much .. I did open my diary it should be open

I will try this! Thank you

Sorry I didn’t read the comment before this that sounds like a good idea just a new calorie goal on days I want to have a cheat meal but I will say this one cheat days I only have 1 meal that day I just eat whatever I want and what ever I want sweet/chocolate/sugary after that but I only eat one meal a day on cheat days

So should I cut cheat days out all together? I find that a diet is not sustainable for me unless I have one .. also should I not eat back excerrsize calories at all? This could also be what’s causing it and I tried Keto with no gallbladder and I got really sick with digestive issues almost had to go to Er so I I think…

I excersize 5 times a week

Yes I do all these things I have a Fitbit that says I burn wayyy more than I consume I always keep a log on here of what I eat idk I guess I’ll have to just keep going

Thank you all so much!! I will do all that’s suggested even on cheat days! I didn’t think it was possible to actually gain 3 or 4 lbs in one cheat day but 🤷🏼‍♀️I guess I have been ? Lol

Also, so carbs has nothing to do with losing weight? I’ve heard so much debate on this!

Yes three years of logging besides holidays and I always have a cheat day on the weekends maybe that’s doing it? But the thing is I used to do the same thing before gallbladder surgery and always lost even with a cheat day but I will try and set this tk public so maybe I can get suggestions

Maybe I will try 1200 a day

I’ve been eating 1,350 a day and plus excersize which usually burns 200-500 cal this app recommends 1500 but I won’t go that high

I should add I did have my gallbladder removed 3 years ago! Not sure if that’s any thing to do with it

By the way I am 31 , 5”10 , 165 lbs I used to always be around 150 and I was comfortable with that

Also with a calorie deficit!

Thank you all so much! I’m gonna shoot for around 115-120 a day :)
