OK I decided to stop writing on the forums. It seems that my diet and approach is not recommended and I don't want to give anyone bad advice. I tried a lot of diets and counting/weighing and learned from what works for me. I do love my way of eating now, I don't feel deprived, my body feels good, I have energy and I lost a…

I add chia seeds on top of my smoothies (or make chia pudding). That works, since it expands in the stomach and it is nutritious too. Never eat without something fluid though.

This might not be popular but the only thing that worked for me and many friends is cut out ALL types of bread, crackers etc, like it doesn't exist, and most dairy. Also, no pasta (the hardest) and white rice, no potatoes. I am thinking that those foods were only for the younger version of me, almost like I am allergic to…

Oh thank you. I am really no expert so should probably not answer questions. I honestly do not know anything about maintenance, just a little about weight loss, as I lost 30 lbs since 2017 and still working on it. I just identified with looking at the scale too much and feeling discouraged that the number didn't move. I do…

Your arm and back is a serious goal of mine. Yes, I think this scale just doesn't work for me, at least not the body fat calculation. I wish I was courageous enough to post those pictures of me. I have very underdeveloped muscles honestly. I really hope I'll be able to build them! One thing though is that the scale helped…

Are you/could you be comfortable with spices at all? Spicy tomato sauce (Moroccan style) is my go to recipe. I would roast all the veggies, and then add smoked paprika powder, chili powder, garlic, cumin powder, tumeric, tomato paste, canned tomatoes. Good luck!

My weight loss is much slower now when I am closer to my goal weight, which is on the lower side of normal. When I looked at my BMR it is 1447 kcal. I also try to do 1200 per day. It is insanely easy to go over with 200 kcal in a day, which would bring me to maintenance. I started to exercise 6 days a week now and am not…

I was expecting 25% honestly, just going for a visual. I don't have muscle definition at all, or barely. Your numbers seems more correct. Very strange. I don't know your age, but in my age I am supposed to have 21% minimum!

I am 46 and realized I can't eat the food I used to. So: 1. Organized my kitchen, keeping kid's trigger foods in basement storage if I can, or in one cabinet that I don't open unless I prep for them. 2. I drink two liters of cranberry infused water everyday. 3. Only one cup of coffee with a splash of oatly 3. Cut out…

I am 5.5 and currently am at 126 lbs. I lost 20 lbs in the past 6 months . It is going slow now and I am not exercising as I should, which makes the body a bit uneven, still have some belly fat that I am not sure how to get rid of. But I went from 32 in jeans to 26! Shirts were M to large and is now small/xsmall. My goal…

I just want to thank everyone - really - for all this detailed and excellent advice!! Starting with walking, light rowing on our rowing machine and perhaps a yoga/pilates video or two!

I would love to be part of this group/find friends. My partner is AFAB trans/non-binary. I am a cis lesbian (a political identity for me, it's complicated, I am no TERF). Rather I am on the non-binary scale as I switch between masc and fem while still being cis. Part of loosing weight is me getting over my "dysphoria" - I…
