  • My non existing career. I started working in high school, but had to move out earlier then most kids these days, due to family situation at home. Since then, paying rent and eating been forefront priorities. So I shelved any real effort at finishing full time secondary of choice, and aiming higher in finding the right…

  • I'm doing low vegan low carb, but not that low. I think the 50g falls more towards keto category. There was a Facebook group with resources on vegan keto, not active at all though. From my understanding it's all about greens and other low carb veggies, tofu/no bread meat alternatives, and some nuts or avocados as the main…

  • I started my slow hunt for second job, I'm doing 44+ hours now full time. I used to work 2 jobs on and off for many years. Having a routine and food/meal prepared ahead is key. Though i do live off protein bars and shakes too. I try to buy things in bulk in case I get tired/forget to get to store. I know my gym time would…

  • Thanks so much! And thanks for starting the thread! I come back here throughout the week if I'm feeling down about progress. I'm trying to be patient, and trying to settle on routines, and behaviors that will help me keep the weight off for future. I don't think I'll reach my goal by May, but giving up won't be better.

  • Thanks! Today is brutal. My muscles are tired from gym, did one set of weights in addition, and scale has gone back to 154 😔. I took few days off running earlier, and that number was 151. I'm starting my workweek now, so I may lay off exercise for few days, and just track. Just to add, I do enjoy running, so thats why I…

  • The scale was actually trying to go up!! 😔 I've been eating 1700 to 2000 calories a day because I've been doing so much running on incline (600 calories +) plus supplement with 3 -4 hour bike ride a week. I'm only entering my 3rd week tracking now. Last year I was down to 149 with scale pointing to more near future loss,…

I didn't expect this to be easy, just the first 3 lbs to be easier. This week I'm going to (try) take a week off running, and not have exercise calories.…

  • Thanks! I'm working on some 'lifestyle habit' changes now. I knew on my 'diet break' that I was over eating, stopped at 5lb gain, and now back at it. So I have made some behavioral changes already. I'm fairly happy with my diet overall, not going back to previous foods, I just need to work on those binge periods. Like…

  • I'm back to losing those last 20lbs after taking 4 month and 5lb weight gain break too. This past 2 weeks; I didn't let myself go hungry, logged everything, ended up running 8 to 10km per day to have enough calorie allowance, and the scale is barely moving!! It attempted to move to 1lb loss. But it's so frustrating. At…

  • I've been a junk food vegan since that age (20), and veggie for 8 years before that. I think my veggie consumption has gone up recently because it offers most volume of food for least calories. But I consume a lot of fake meats/protein powders and bars to keep up with my macros. I need a lot of protein to feel full and…

  • I'm also addicted to chocolate, and sugar as default. The first biggest game changer in my diet was macros (after tracking) I love love love carbs but I cannot consume too much of them. Therefore I cannot follow most healthy diets that incorporate healthy breads and oats. It's gateway to hunger and binge eating later. If…

  • Im too optimistically in!. I'm within last 20 pounds, and lower healthy weight range for my height, so it will be more challenging. I want to drop 15lbs this first half year, and maintain until next year and see how I feel about those last 5. I tend to go on roller coaster ride with my water weight, so weekly weigh in 🙂

  • I think it's all relative to what macros you're looking for. The more protein and fat = more calories. More carbs and veggies based = less calories. I personally like the gardein options because they have more protein, and less carbs/fat for the calories. Beyond has a lot of protein but also fat. Burgers like Amy's are…
