I really, really appreciate all your insightful advices. I need to drop unrealistic approach on how to lose weight and write down what I eat. Hopefully I can achieve my goal not only on weight loss but also a healthier lifestyle. Thankyou so much!

I don’t track my calories everyday... and yes I think I need to start doing that and be diligent 😅 I don’t know. I’m just used to losing weight quickly by undereating. I don’t know how to do it to achieve it in a healthy way but I’ll try now. Thankyou!

I’ve been trying to lose weight since last year. I went from 57-58kg to now 67kg. On february, I lost 5kg by eating 2 times a day. My diet consisted of bread & eggs. I undereat but lost weight doing that. Then I started craving other foods and gained weight again. This month I tried to keep my calorie intake between…

I just started this month, but I don’t really keep track on what I eat. I weighed myself everyday. Exercise 2-3times a week, high intensity workout. Yes. I think losing 1kg every 2days messed up my metabolism. I tried not to eat after 6pm. My goal is to lose 12kg by end of June so I feel like I need to do things quickly.

I’m currently on 1200 cal and this is what I feared. What if I eat normal again and gain all the weight I loses back? I’m worried about eating over my calorie deficit but at the same time, I don’t want this to be another yo-yo diet. I’ve read somewhere it’s better to eat 3 balanced meals with no snack and aim for 1500 cal…

Mine is because I feel like I’m trapped in the body I don’t want so I want to change.

I’m the same too and I’ve been considering reaching out to either therapist or nutritionist. But I’m afraid they’re not going to be helpful and at the end, you are the one who has 100% control of your life. I read books & research on binge eating/ compulisve eating/ emotional eating and so far out of all the tips, the most…

Anything beauty related or charity work.

Yes, that’s the plan because I thought it was normal to lose 0.5-1kg a week. I feel like if I lose only 0.5 pounds aka 0.22 kg.... did I lose water weight or what. My life is pretty sedentary and I workout only 3 times a week.

So I should focus on losing body fat percentage instead just weight? I don’t plan to lose weight quickly because I know it’ll just bounce back.

Ok but I don’t understand. If I don’t have enough fat then why my macros said I’m over my fat intake? I’m only trying to lose 20 pounds and for my weight this app recommended the 1200 calorie diet. I’m only following the calorie deficit diet.

No, that’s only breakfast & lunch. Since I’m over the macros fat limit, I only eat sweet potatoes for dinner yesterday :#

I’m 130lbs and currently following MFP 1200 calorie diet. On that amount of calories I should be losing at least 2-3 pounds (1kg) a week. I’ve done some research on healthy amount of weight to lose in a week and it’s the same. https://www.caloriesecrets.net/what-is-a-healthy-amount-of-weight-to-lose-per-week/ Of course…

Yes, from BMI. I’m normal size but not in my ideal weight so time to lose a few pounds. But weight on the scale can be deceiving. I was 118lbs before and I feel like shi*, kind of look gaunt and unealthy too but now at 130lbs I feel lighter and great. I’m trying to lose fat percentage though and at least be 120lbs.

I know but I found it hard to have meals according to my macros, it’s easier to follow calories instead :(

Thankyou for your info! I usually eat homemade meals so even if I use salt, garlic powder, etc. I still make sure to add them on app. I’m hoping to lose 1kg every week but last week I was still the same weight, only lost a few points which I’m guessing is water weight. I wonder if it’s because I’m not logging my calories…

This is my macros: In grams:

How do I hide this thread from the forums. So annoying.

I tried military diet when I was 17 too! But only for a day, the second day I ordered cheese pizza :D :D

1. Intermittent! I don’t want to offend people who are on IF but I’ve been eating like that since I was 17 because I don’t like having full stomach in the morning so I don’t eat breakfast and it was never a trend.. 2. The IU diet, you must only eat 1 apple, 1 sweet potato & protein shake for a week and lost 5-10pounds a…

“Get a professional.”

I’m currently on a 1200 calories diet and I don’t limit myself. I eat carbs. Fruits, veggies, rice, those are carbs. I tried to avoid eating processed foods though but I don’t want to restrict myself too much and as long as I’m eating in my calorie limit, I still lose weight.

I think it works for some people but definitely not me. If I eat intuitively, I don’t lose weight but maintain instead.

I’m currently on 1200 calorie diet to lose 10-20lbs. My mom is not opposed of me trying to lose weight, she is only concern if I’m losing it in an unhealthy way since I have history of chronic gastritis. She thinks I look great and shouldn’t be worried about weight loss but focus on being healthy instead (which I agree…

Homemade pancakes!

There is no detailed information about limiting the amount of calories in Intermittent fasting except for the hours. Thanks for the information.

So Intermittent fasting basically is I can eat anything as long as it’s in my window meal? I can eat burger, cheesecake, etc as long as I’m eating only for 8hrs a day? I don’t think it’s going to work unless you’re obese/ overweight. I still believe in calorie deficit diet instead of this.

Indonesia! If there are any Indonesians here, add me. Could really use a friend :) :)

Same! I always crave for chips, anything salt & vinegar over candy or cookies.. This thread is making me hungry. Better go to sleep :D

I’m using this app on my iphone and there’s no “plus sign”. Maybe I’ll try opening this from my browser. Thanks!
