I don't need to coat everything in cheese, I actually quite often eat chicken, brocolli and rice, but it does have to be well seasoned… salt, pepper, garlic powder, curry powder, whatever the flavor profile I'm feeling. Is it bland? No. Because I season it. My unpopular opinion is most people think whole foods are bland…

You need to see a psychologist who knows eating disorders. I think this is beyond what anyone online can help you with, though well meaning people will try to give you advice.

While this very true, if you go from being very active to mostly sedentary, you will have to eat less because your body is burning less energy. My guess would be wegovy is helping them eat less to account for that difference in lifestyle.

Just go in and switch your goal from lose to maintain. No, it shouldn't start over at day 1

Overall weight loss is really the only way. That means eating less than you burn overall.

You're eating more than you think most likely. You can be doing all the right things, unfortunately, and still not lose if you're not tracking accurately and consistently. How do you track? Do you weigh/measure everything?

At first glance 2200 calories seems really high. But it might not be. How tall are you? How much do you weigh? If you are larger, 2200 might make sense. Or if you do a very, very, large amount of exercise (like a few hours per day).

I think one includes fiber and the other doesn't.

I agree. You asked why it mattered whether they wanted to lose or gain. I was explaining why it matters. It's also really important to know by how much they're under or over-eating. I can range 100 calories above or below my calorie goals,and don't sweat it, because I go by more of a calorie range rather than chasing an…

What's wrong with 600 calories? Thinking you can't go over 500 at all for the day is a bit absurd. 600 should yield pretty similar results in this case as 500.

Not exactly true. It's perfectly ok to be under your calorie goal if you're trying to lose weight. Trying to hit the exact number is a good way to drive yourself insane. Should anyone be drastically under their goal consistently? No. But we don't know if that's the case right now. It also makes a HUGE difference whether…

But, and I can't emphasize this enough, wait until your membership has officially come to an end or you will be double paying for no reason.

You shouldn't lose your data. Don't delete your account, just go in and cancel your premium membership. Your account will still be available, since the account itself is free. Then, when your premium membership ends (whatever date it ends on, depending on if you had a monthly, 6 month, or year membership) go in and sign up…

Absolutely

I'm not here to debate whether or not people can be addicted to food. Yes, most everyone can manage their intake. For some, it is much more of a struggle. And I think that's important to understand. For me, there are certain things I absolutely cannot keep in the house. For others, they're just fine with it. And I think…

To be fair, some people really struggle with moderation. It's a little bit like telling a crack addict they can have a little bit of crack because it won't affect them that much if it's just a little. Which sure, is true, but I don't know many people that can have just a little crack. So from the OP's perspective, I…

1 pound per week is plenty. Probably actually better for her body than 2 pounds per week. Slow loss is maintainable loss. Fast loss is more likely to be regained.

🤣 honestly, the pants are what got me too... I was finally at the point where I couldn't keep them buttoned up and had to leave the button open, because I don't have new pants money just because I gained a few extra pounds.

Follow what MFP gives you, then adjust from there.

I'm 7 pounds away. At this rate it'll probably take at least another 3 months, probably 4.

It seems like a lot, but when you factor in that the amount of water weight you hold can vary up to 5 pounds day to day, a .5 pound blip is nothing, as long as it doesn't keep going up (which, hair extensions won't continue to get heavier each day).

Low Carb can work, but your performance in the gym may suffer. Carbs give you energy to push weights. I use a calorie deficit and try to eat a minimum amount of protein (most bodybuilders seem to go with 1 gram per pound of body weight.). It will take time. Plan for about .5 to 1 pound per week... figure out how long it…

It's definitely a constant work in progress. Pisces must be in asparagus or something because I've been wanting to eat ALL the things too 🤣

Down another .5 pounds. The scale had jumped up about a pound day before yesterday... but went right back down. I know it was just water weight because I've been tracking on Libra. I highly recommend it for anyone who's not using it. Buuutttt.... I'm getting so flipping tired of it. The hunger started really setting in…

The calories they "give" you depends on the rate of loss you put in that you would like (.5 pounds per week, 1 pound per week, or 2 pounds per week) chances are you put in a fairly high rate of loss, so that affected how many calories are available to you.

I know how hard it is. Been there. Any man that would do that to you isn't worth your time or energy. Fix your crown. You are more important than any loser who can't see your worth. When I was in that situation, I dove headfirst into weight training and yoga. You'd be amazed how helpful lifting heavy things and putting…

I get the worry, but dry hair weighs next to nothing. Just weigh yourself as normal.

There's a youtuber I really like who once explained "it's ok to take a break. When I have to take a break, I tell myself I'll miss my weights, my weights will miss me, they'll be there at the gym when I get back. Whatever". Changed my outlook a lot when she said that. Sometimes people on here can take it a bit to the…

That's good. Ideally during a diet break they say you want to stay right around your maintenence calories.

Many people in the US have started using the terms male/female/Trans male/Trans female. But that's a whole other discussion.
