That feature is just a cruel taunt at this point. I'm on my last five pounds and they are STUBBORN.

I'm really surprised there are so many people defending this man telling a woman to "smile". It's such a cliche at this point that it's a trope on TV and in film: an example of the patriarchy policing women's appearance; the expectation that we will shape our presence into something agreeable and pleasant and…

The problem is, I've never managed to get the balance right and achieve that holy grail described in the first line!

OK. According to IIFYM my TDEE should be 2100. So with a deficit of 250 cals that leaves 1850. I think I'll try this for a week or two and see how I feel :)

My classes only last an hour but that's a good tip!

Sunday's usually my rest day as is Tuesday, kind of (a 30 minute abs class and an hour's dog walk but that's it). I'm getting 80-100g protein per day; Im working really hard on that actually because I don't eat much meat. I think it's helping with satiety. Energy, not so much.

I somehow missed this yesterday but this is so insightful, thank you! I'll sometimes work out twice a day but it's never for longer than an hour unless I'm hiking so intra workout fueling probably isn't necessary. I spin, run and do Crossfit. (I also walk with my dogs but that's low intensity and I feel fine for that.) I…

Yeah. It's a good point. I eat after workouts, not before.

I'm not eating back exercise calories because I don't know that i can trust them, due to having 2 Garmin devices in the last few years that have given very different readings for incidental exercise! I'm eating 1500 calories a day which seems to be enough to feel more or less normal most of the time, but when I work out, I…

That's all really useful--thank you. I'll look into refeeds (I've never purposefully done this) and the dried fruit tip. I expect I am trying to do too many activities but I'll find it hard to choose between them!

That's amazing, well done! I feel your pain...

Congratulations on getting to goal! Long difficult slog indeed. Oddly it sort of does help to know it's this hard for everyone.

Thanks for your reply. No, I don't have much to lose, relatively: I'm 5'4" and 143 pounds (female, 38). A 15 pound loss would get me where I want to be, but it's not my natural build. I am fastidious about tracking when I do it so I don't think inaccuracy is the problem--I'm either doing it or I'm not IYKWIM! I can handle…
