  • Ooh lawd no. I still eat instant ramen and bread ;)
  • My jeans are so loose now I can pull them up and down without undoing them. My work trousers that were so tight it felt they were cutting circulation off around my groin are now my "big" trousers. When sitting on the floor, it's no longer a struggle to get up. I feel able to wear short sleeves and don't feel the need to…
  • I know how you feel. My husband doesn't track anything and sometimes estimates he only ate 600 calories on some days. He also weighs himself multiple times a day and freaks out when he gains a pound even when I tell him it's food and water. I have tried to reason with him but it falls on deaf ears. All you can do is be…
  • Yeah when I first started I was told on reddit not to eat back my exercise calories and was only netting about 800-1000 on days I exercised which at the time was about 3 days a week. I also routinely only ate about 1200 calories on non-exercise days when I was heavier and needed more. My period was over two weeks late.…
  • PTLS doesn't exist. Hormonal changes after having a child and after coming off birth control do. People misattribute these symptoms to tubal ligation side effects. The hormones don't need the fallopian tubes to do their job. The doctor who fabricated PTLS had her license to practice revoked. I had my tubes out 6 months ago…
  • If I'm going into work then I usually don't eat until about 10. But on weekends, for some reason I'm ravenous when I wake up. I think because I wake up later on weekends lol.
  • I went into this intending to have a cheat day/meal or a non-tracking day, but I found after a couple of weeks that I was eating more than enough to satisfy my appetite at a 500 cal deficit, so didn't bother. Maybe you could have a day where you eat at maintenance instead? That way it doesn't impact too much on your…
  • I have homemade (bread machine) half white/half wheat toast with butter & olive oil spread most mornings. Usually comes to just under 200 calories depending on the thickness of the slice. I also have a cup of coffee with milk and sugar which comes to around 70 calories.
  • I find logging kind of... comforting? I'd been spending months estimating in my head how much I'd eaten and what else I could safely eat for the rest of the day but remaining overweight. As soon as I started tracking as accurately as possible, the weight began falling off. I've lost almost 10lbs in 2 months. It's nice to…
  • Unfortunately it would seem calculating calories burnt from heart rate alone is not accurate. It can be quite far off. For example, if you have a cold or you're extra stressed about something, those two things wouldn't necessarily = higher calorie burn, but your fitness tracker might interpret it as such while you're…
  • What I weighed when I was 21 which is coincidentally right in the middle of normal and overweight.
  • I eat all mine back when I go for long walks and hikes and am still losing just over a lb a week. I opted not to eat them before and had issues with my menstrual cycle as a result. If my logging and app were to be believed, some days I was only netting 800-1000 calories. I'm feeling much better now. Less tired and my…
  • I finally got my period today. Very relieved. I hope my next one comes on time.
  • I overdid it with the calorie deficit and my cycle is now on week 6 day 3 :x I don't know how to get it back. I upped my calories to what myfitnesspal suggests and am eating back exercise calories but I don't know if I fudged something internally. Can't afford to go to my doctor right now.
  • Yes, I eat them all back. I didn't at first and have a health issue as a result.
  • Eat them back. I'm 13 days late for my period after a few weeks of opting not to. I don't have the capability to have children, so I know it's not pregnancy. Your body will redirect resources if you under-eat.
  • I am not petite but wanted to weigh in (lol). I opted not to eat them back and if my pedometer and weight loss app were to be believed, I was averaging 800-1000 kcal a day at 5'6" and 177 lbs at the time. Needless to say, I'm 13 days late for my period and am not pregnant (no tubes). Eat them back. Don't make your body…
