  • I also went off track about 4 yrs ago. Gained a similar amt if weight which became so tiring and uncomfortable on my short frame. My reason was covid hit, gyms closed, stayed home eating and watching tv. Getting back to it now, feel so much better, have to remind myself all the time that this is a slow process, that the…
    in Back again after 4 years of being lazy and over eating Comment by gwmjaz May 3
  • 3 weeks on and no pounds lost is no indication of progress. Loose clothing definitely is !! I started Nov 25, didn't notice much difference for the first month, but now all my clothing is looser, I may have to buy new jeans soon. I don't use a scale because I don't want to obsess over every half pound loss, but I can tell…

  • You look fantastic, and more importantly you look so happy with your success! I am encouraged to continue my weight loss: only have to lose 20 more lbs.

  • Need to lose 20+ lbs to get back to my pre covid weight. I have a torn meniscus, torn in 2 places, this happened 8 yrs ago. When I am not overweight it doesn't hurt me much and sometimes not at all. After becoming inactive during covid and gaining this weight, the knee became pretty painful. So I'm working on getting back…

  • I lost my excess weight before the pandemic. Went to gym regularly and got into pretty good shape and felt healthy. However I did become obsessed with counting calories and macros and also weighing myself daily, sometimes more than once a day. I almost felt like I was developing an eating disorder. Then during the stress…
    in Is having a scale beneficial Comment by gwmjaz January 4
  • When my very fit daughter first set up my food plan for me, explaining the macros, she suggested I use a scoop of protein powder everyday, which gives me 24 grams protein, and thereby helps me reach my 74 gram daily minimum. It works great for me since I'm not a big meat eater. I add it either to my 2 cups of coffee I have…

  • I def agree: go with the calorie number that will not make you feel deprived. I just started here, after gaining weight back due to a couple health issues over the last 3 years, and I should be striving to hit 1350 calories per day. But I set it up for 1500 per day for now, so that i stick with it and don't feel deprived.…
