I love PB too and can eat it straight out the jar :S As a vegan I started out with that and eventually ditched it to shave off the fat grams.

I eat Lenny and Larry’s Protein cookies as a staple of my nutrition. Cookies are also my weakness. So it’s like being Superman and being dependent on Kryptonite consumption. Seriously, it’s the bite size crunchy Lenny Larry’s that get me :P They aren’t satiating like the full cookies are and I can easily find myself…

Oh yeah I wanna second the youtubers comment. Fitness youtube and progress/transformation videos really helped me stay motivated and disciplined on days where I couldnt do anything. On a day you can’t work out you can STILL maintain a calorie deficit :) Or at least maintain your BMR :D which would mean you didn’t lose nor…

It’s just one of those things that you gotta play day by day. You have to develop an instinct (just sorta came about for me) that tells you ‘if I go out today, I might collapse outside,’ for example. If you think you can over come it, then try. Any effort is better than no effort. But it’s okay to just not work out at all…

I did 1000 and was even low as 800 for a couple months. It did help me lose a considerable amount of weight. Would never recommend it lol. https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html Calculator.net is your friend :) Check out all their fitness calcs, I use them almost daily.…

Weight can change with in minutes. If you weigh yourself naked immediately upon waking up in the morning, you might weigh 165 for example. Minutes later, 164.8 or even an increase 165.6. I like to choose the lowest number because it motivates me and makes me happy and feel like I achieved something. I purchased a WW…

Covid really helped me get my weight in order. I lost all the weight I needed to and hit my long ago established MFP goal of 165lbs. It was quite satisfying. Unfortunately my other health issues, self esteem, general mental state did not improve. Was hoping for a tie in.

Veganism is great and I lost an incredible amount of weight by becoming vegan. I live much more healthfully now!

https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html Scroll down and it tells you what zig zagging is. I’d highly recommend just putting your measurements though and it will tell you exactly in the “example zig zag diet.”
-
I’m gonna celebrate that on the upside you’ve maintained your weight :) I look at weight maintenance as a victory because I have rebounded multiple times in the beginning. I have similar weight to lose (10-15lbs) and it’s getting very difficult. I agree with the post saying 1200 is low. I have been there myself and it can…

I’d suggest zig zagging in lieu of cheating. The only thing you can cheat in being healthy is yourself.

This is dead wrong. Firstly I don’t count in gallons and no one should either unless you’re casually talking with random people about non fitness related things. 2 liters a day is essential for proper water maintenance and the universal disagreements to that on my comment is laughable. An additional 500ml to 1000ml is…

I measure several times per week and weigh multiple times a day. I like seeing how everything I put in my body effects me.

Staying hydrated assists in balancing the calorie deficit. It’s essential, not a myth, backed by science and any M.D. you can find.

Their gaze. I do not like being looked at especially intensely which is why I avoid it.

I’m somewhere between 15-17% and my rib cage is visible among other bones. It varies person to person.

Firstly, proud of you. Especially on the food front. Don’t fast unless it’s for religious or spiritual reasons. Secondly, buy a liter water bottle. Fill it to 500ml maximum at a time. If you are sedentary, drink only two liters a day. If you are working out on a particular day, add 500 to 1000ml. I lost 125 lbs and have 14…

Denial has to be the main one. Recently a group of children ran up to me while I was speed jumping rope. “How do you do that?!?” they asked. I thought for a moment and responded “practice.” It was a spur of the moment response without thought. The true answer is discipline. The only one one is denying is themselves.…

I walked when I exhausted myself during an intense workout. I’ve added walks after my workouts regularly now and it helps significantly.

Mine increased.

Congratz! I’m excited and optimistic for you. What helped me was doing 10lb increment goals toward the 125 I lost. Step by step. Literally. It’s the little parts that count the most.
-
Gonna throw in my support for vitamin D. It’s literally like steroids for my mood. Gets me upbeat, happy and motivated and assists in suppressing doubt and negative thoughts :) Great for discipline and self control.

Wishing I could fall asleep.

I don’t. I struggle with insomnia which is why I’m commenting on random threads right now. Lol.

Love is being there for someone when it isn’t convenient for you.

Trust anyone.

Technically Taken 3 but those movies are so garbage I barely watched them lol. Plus they’re super sadistic.
-
I don’t drink, smoke, or do hardcore drugs and I won’t be around that. Furthermore, given that I lost all the weight I needed to lose and I’m maintaining it, I can’t be with someone who doesn’t care about their health. And I’m vegan and a gamer and a filmmaker so those are pretty needy things. And I’m a virgin. And I’m…

You can do this. I lost more than a hundred pounds in the past two years. This is totally realistic. I get the idea of not wanting to disappoint each other in a group like setting but I have to say, the strongest way forward for you and anyone else trying to lose weight is to do it completely and whole heartedly for…

Going through difficulties is good. It’s part of progress. Beating yourself up can just be another way of reminding yourself to keep going and motivation to be disciplined. You look great by the way.
