I know just starting again is easier said than done so maybe you could ease into it by starting to just log what you eat. Not changing anything for a day or a few days but just logging it to get back into the habit. Then, try eating maintanence for a few days (assuming you’re eating above maintenance when you’re not…

You’re not plateauing! There could be so many different things that caused you to not lose weight this week such as water/sodium intake or just not going to the bathroom. Especially as a woman, your period or ovulation could be affecting your weight. The scale says I’m the same weight I was 3 weeks ago. It’s definitely…

I don’t have the ionic but I just recently got a versa and I love it. I think the ionic has similar features but I chose the versa because it just looks more feminine to me and less bulky. The battery power is great, it lasts days and I just take it off every couple days while showering and getting ready in the morning and…

Are you talking about taking appetite suppressing pills? I’ve never done that and I feel like they wouldn’t work anyways, and if it does it’s probably just a mental thing. You said you’re an emotional eater but that alone shouldn’t make you feel like you’re dying of starvation, how many calories do you usually eat? If…

Just don’t eat, people naturally eat less calories some days so it’s normal. Use the opportunity to eat some extra calories when you feel better if you want

Don’t feel bad, 2 weeks of being not so good is nothing when you take into consideration the 4 years you’ve been doing good. If it makes you feel better, I ate like that for the past 21 years. 2 weeks won’t make any difference in the long term :-) Now that you know how sick you feel when you overeat, just keep that in mind…

I usually plan my meals a few days ahead of time so if I’m craving something else I just make a small change, I add whatever I want to eat and take out something else so that I don’t go over my calories. You could also just add whatever you’re craving and do some extra exercise, assuming it’s not something with tooo many…

I’m gonna be the one person on this thread that actually agrees with you for the most part. I don’t think there’s any “hatred” but a lot of people can be rude and make this place kind of intimidating for people who are new. I’m sure nobody is trying to be rude and I’m sure it’s just tough love but when I look through the…

I weigh myself in the morning after using the bathroom and before eating or drinking anything. Mostly because I like to see the lowest number possible on the scale haha

I wish I had that problem haha. Dont be scared to eat things that aren’t “healthy”. If you have extra calories, you don’t have to eat vegetables to get to 1200 unless that’s what you want to eat, which I doubt. You’ll get to 1200 calories, probably won’t be as stuffed as you are when you eat hundreds of calories worth of…

People who are late People who drive irrationally slow People who drive irrationally fast (as you can tell I’m always mad while driving lol) Loud chewing and slurping People who noticably copy what everyone else is doing, if that makes sense. Like be your own person and have some originality! People who swear they know…

I’m sure you already know this but most sugary drinks have a 0 calorie substitute (unless you’re talking about things like milkshakes and fruit juice) Do you not like the substitutes? I hate exercise some days and I’m excited for it other days, have you tried various forms of exercise? The gym is sorta tedious for me, but…

Not to be a smart *kitten* but I think eating kfc and Pizza Hut but staying in a calorie deficit is a better idea than being overweight/obese (which definitely has more health risks) But no avocado won’t make you fat. It is higher in calories than some other “healthy” food though so I don’t really eat it much because I’d…

I’m pretty similar, I lost 20-30 pounds two years ago and got super close to my goal weight but then I gained it back, plus 10 more. Now I’m trying to lose 40 pounds, of which I already lost around 10 :-) The good news is we both did it before so we can both do it again (and this time we can be even better!)

I’m not the most physically fit person so this is a huge accomplishment for me but probably really small to anyone else haha, but I jogged for 10 minutes today (twice with a walking break in between) without stopping. 2 weeks ago I couldn’t even jog for 2 minutes without needing to stop :smile:

I wouldn’t eat back all of them because a lot of things such as cardio machines and fitness trackers way overestimate the amount of calories you burn but definitely eat back around half, especially if you’re hungrier that day. Or save those extra calories for another day :smile: but if you don’t eat back exercise calories…

Onion rings Ketchup or mustard?

Skittles Dark chocolate or milk chocolate?

I’ve given up before after making a lot of progress because I’m kinda an all or nothing person. If I ate something higher in calories and slightly messed up my deficit, I would stuff my face for the rest of the day until I felt sick. Also, when I had a planned cheat day for a special event I didn’t know how to get back on…

I don’t know if this is weird but I love sugar free jello with whipped cream on top. And chocolate ice cream with s’mores goldfish crackers

There’s not really anything specific that I need everyday but in general, I need something sweet like 3 times a day at least lol. I don’t know how some people rarely eat sweets

I’m from Philadelphia! Anyone can add me :-)

I’m in nursing school too, I know it’s hard to get in exercise when you’re either in class or studying 24/7 but it’s possible. If you really don’t have the time, just know you can still lose weight without exercise! You keep saying you can’t do this and you can’t do that and I think that’s the biggest problem. Of course…

You look sooo good! How long did that take you?

I literally always want cupcakes or any type of cake. Too bad it’s pretty impossible to fit those things into my calories regularly😢

It could be that he has an alcohol dependency or he could be telling the truth and just drank too much without it being more serious than that. But I grew up with an alcoholic so honestly, if you’re at all worried about it I think you should just stop talking to this guy. It’s not worth it getting involved and risking it…

I’m the same way so I try to keep myself busy. But if I have nothing to do all day I just drink diet soda, water and chew gum. I bought popsicle molds and made popsicles with crystal light/mio and a few pieces of fruit. It’s basically like flavored ice with fruit in it but it feels like you’re actually eating a popsicle…

I always do! I’m trying to lose 30-40 pounds.

I do!
