Do you feel like working in the industry hurts you? Do you graze a lot? I've served for fifteen years and the combination of having discounted food and waste food constantly thrown at us was too much for my weak willpower to handle. I finally found a desk job and it's so much easier to stay regulated and firm with myself…

I need this so badly. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks anyway. I'm pretty hyper sensitive to changes in my body, so, maybe it's just normal and I'm overthinking it? Beats me. I guess it's just a part of it. I'm training safely and smartly, I guess I'll just trust the process.

Yup. 20 grams is just too restrictive for me. I can stay within the parameters of Ketosis with higher carb intake.

All about that revenge body life. Added, girl. We'll make them hurt for it together.

Having some panic attacks there, friend?

I've lost 100 pounds, gained 100 pounds, lost 20, gained 20, so on and so forth. This is my second time at losing 100. It's frustrating needing to do it again; it took me a while to get to the point I was ready to put in the effort it took to do it all over again. But, I also know, concretely, what I have to look forward…

Same. It's been the central focus of my free time for a lot longer than I'd like to admit. It's gotten me into some real pickles. I'm using this as a reason to kick the habit, too. Best of luck.

It took me -years- to finally get back on the wagon. I had lost a serious amount of weight, and then non-serious amounts of weight (25-30 pounds) five times over after I'd gained some back. I lost control and ballooned after my pregnancy. I think it was when I realized that I just.. wasn't myself, anymore. I hadn't been in…

Yeah, they've been coming one right after the other in the past five years. I've lost about six close people to me. It's been brutal. I hope you're seeing someone about being sad. And, like someone said on my posts, putting yourself down probably isn't helpful. Is there another, more encouraging way to look at yourself and…

I touched on a lot of these subjects on replies to other commenters. tl;dr, or in case you don't feel like looking for the full reply, I'm working on dealing with my anxiety, which leads to the overcomplicating. Keto worked for me in the past, but I didn't stick with it because of my love for pasta things. I unbound my…

I'm 5'7 and 255, as of my last weigh in. I started around 276 at the beginning of December. And, I wrote a long response in an upper comment. Long story short, I had a professional calculate my intake during my last major weight loss journey. Thanks for your post!

Thank you. It's been hard, but, that's a part of life. I just wish she had longer with her fiance. They had just found each other. Very sad. Got'cha. I did read about the hormone rebalancing, but, who knows about that. I'll give it a shot for a little while and see if anything changes, or if it's maintainable. If not, I'll…

Yeah, I saw the calorie extensions on here from exercise, and you need to pay to remove them. I had to explain to my sister why eating more because of your "allowed" calories is only going to land you at maintenance. And, I will. I've started a journal. A lot of people have found this helpful. I'm going to give it a shot.…

I thought long and hard about this, and, I never really thought about it from this perspective before. I think a lot of my failures in the past have come directly from this pitfall -- I set up unrealistic lifetime alterations to my diet and when I lapse back into "regular" eating, I'm all shocked and disappointed with…

Hi there. Sorry about the delay in responding, and thanks for your input. The calorie goal derived from entering sedentary (I work a desk) and placing seven days intense exercise landed me around 1,394. Every single other calculator I've used to calculate my calorie intake placed me around 2,000, at the lowest. I chose…

I'm sorry -- I'll respond to all of you in a bit. I just got a call that my high school best friend just died in surgery. I'll touch back with everyone when the dust settles. Thank you for your time and messages.

Also, I read intermittent fasting facilitates weight loss by enhancing hormone functioning. Has this been debunked? Very curious; I read about it everywhere and thought it was worth a shot.

Thanks for responding! Congrats on your weight loss! One hundred pounds is one hell of an accomplishment. What goes into your journal? Is it for food, or for mental health and accountability? I might consider it. I've had a lot of success with Keto. I lost approximately 35 pounds the last bit of my last journey with it,…
