  • Most people don’t have a target that high lol wish I did. I sometimes (when my adherence is low to my deficit) do 2MAD so I can break my calories into 2 filling meals lol

  • Contrave did nothing for me but increase migraines. I track everything I eat and had no noticeable decrease in appetite. I did go on Victoza (where im from Ozempic isn’t approved fr weight loss yet) and it did kill my appetite for around 8 weeks and then it just stopped working lol. The medications don’t cause weight loss…
  • I lose around 35 pounds a year (down 70 from my 100lb regain) and I eat 1600 ish *half* the time and more like 2500 the other half due to BED. So while it feels like I’m working so hard and I am, the higher calorie days even out some other days thus my slow rate of loss. You might find raising your calories will help you…
  • I lost a fair bit doing 2MAD but I kept getting in my own head because everyone kept telling me to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks or eating large meals will keep me hungrier etc. So I tried to divide my calories to eat many meals but I would end up never close to satisfied and would often go over. I like to eat a lot of food. I…
  • Microwaved some frozen mixed berries and then stirred in Greek yogurt. I had this with a cinnamon raisin bagel. I was starving shortly after so protein oats seems to be more filling for me lol. It was good though.
  • It’s up to you. I used to weigh daily but honestly it’s pointless lol. I can take a poop and be down .8 lbs. I can sip water and be up .8 lbs. “But the downward trend!” It will trend down regardless of you are adhering to your calorie limits. I weigh weekly when I’m changing my calorie amounts to make sure everything is…
  • Hello. This is my second time doing this. The first time I lost 100 lbs I did so by eating at 2 pounds a week. According to the graphics a lot of people like to share I should have been able to keep this up but I couldn’t. I am down 55 lbs and I have it set to 1 pound a week. I am currently dealing with extreme hunger and…
  • My experience has been no. (This is going to be a novel I’m sorry.) I lost over 100lbs and then gained 30 back with a second pregnancy. After that time I was so tired of dieting that I turned to IE and legit gained everything back. It made a lot of sense and I thought that how I ate before going on a diets wasn’t how they…
  • It's a theory but if it were as accurate as they think then people should have a much harder time getting to 300, 400, 500 lbs. Once you hit over your set point your body should do things like not absorb the calories in your food or signal you to have an intense desire not to eat and to move more. But if you look at any IE…
  • please send me an invite as well, I'm siting at 294.5, I had lost 100 lbs a few years ago but didnt do it in a sustainable way so here we are again. :)
  • I had them equal through out the day (I dont snack) but I noticed I was starving in the evening and feeling too full in the day. So now my smallest amount of calories is usually at lunch. I have a medium breakfast and a big dinner. I haven't felt hungry doing it this way, for my body. Just move the amounts around until you…
  • I just want to say how awesome of a mom you are! You can buy the ground round which is soy meat and add taco spice or buy the mexican ones. I've always thought they taste yuck so this is my go to for taco meat. https://minimalistbaker.com/quinoa-taco-meat/ This is a favorite for tofu for me, you can find a veggie parm or…
