Slight high jack of the thread, but if GLP1 users have no appetite and are trying to lose weight as quickly as possible how do they survive? If my calories are too low over a given week where I am highly active I will usually crash and it takes me a few days to get out of it. So what happens to those that routinely…

I think this week will be pretty unbeatable! (I don’t wear my Fitbit the full day Fri/sat.)

I played an awesome basketball game tonight with the strongest player on the opposing team. We usually play really well as a pair and this was my first time playing against her. I powered through and we won🎉. I have been continuously pushing myself to work on defense which doesn’t come naturally at 5”2 and 175. (I started…

I switched my snack bags for the really little square ones and I feel full after eating one serving as opposed to if I would’ve eating out of the regular sandwich bags. Our eyes help our stomach decide if it’s full yet.

Love this! On previous weight loss attempts I was very much a switch, I kept at it as long as things were good, but when they weren’t I quit! And that was it! Now I’m a dial, sometimes things go well, sometimes they don’t. I’ve lost 30 lbs over the past year and a half, with most of that time maintaining/very very slow…

My ring fell off when I was playing basketball. I guess it’s really time to get it sized!🙌

You are incredible! 💪💪 Do it for yourself and that adorable baby you are holding😄

I’ve found that doing a weighted hoola hoop helps me look better. It’s not going to make you lose lbs but it has definitely helped me lose inches/look more toned.

I don’t think that the goals should be tied to the calendar. I wanted to lose 65 lbs when I started last year, i broke it out into small goals on happy scale, and I celebrate each milestone that i reach. But since this isn’t tied to a calendar I don’t feel that I have failed because it’s a year later and I’m only down 25…

I wish i could say that! I actually don’t track my food. I have a general plan in my head, and I do weigh a lot of the things that I eat so I get a general idea of calories. But the overall quality of my food really hasn’t changed much.

Thank you! I’m in the USA as well, and only eat fast food when I’m traveling. I haven’t touched any sort of soda in more than 10 years, so no quick calories to cut out😄 Overall I’m proud of where I’m at and I am so much stronger, fitter and healthier than I was. I’ve been through a lot in the past 7 months so I’m ok w the…

Wow! You are an inspiration! I’m the same height as you and my highest weight was just a few lbs less than that. Right now I’ve been maintaining in the upper 170s for the past few months, and hoping to break through that and look like you soon😁 How did you have the belief that you could get your weight down so low?(are you…

@AnnPT77 get well quick. I feel your pain of trying to follow doctors orders when it doesn’t at all fit our lifestyle! Interesting observation reading this thread, (and many others, and also just living life). There are those of us who were just blessed with ridiculously high energy levels and we don’t know the word “no”.…

At 5”2, my BMI changes very rapidly! I am officially Obese, but you would never know from looking at me:) my shirts are all small or medium (not tight fitting at all) I have quite a lot of muscle and I carry it well. I can’t imagine ever getting over into the normal category which is lower 130s, but I will keep working on…

Hi, that is awesome that you have so much data. Love the analysis! Something else that would be cool for you to see and would potentially provide useful data. Time of 1st meal with total calories eaten. (Maybe even averaged out by week) some of us think that the longer we push off our first meal the less we’ll eat…

Happy birthday! Congrats on your incredible loss, and for taking the steps to make your own life better🎉 In my community there have been many very heavy women (and a lot of not very heavy women) who have lost significant amounts of weight very quickly with drugs since they became popular. Because they have become so…

I did 9 pushups in a row, starting from flat on the ground. Doing even one pushup has only been doable in the past when I’m feeling super super fit.

Until 2 years ago, my fear of dentists was through the roof! (Think someone saying the word dentist would turn me white!) Thankfully I found a new dentist with great beside manner and I’m slowly getting over my fear! I don’t track my food, but I do weigh it and make a plan. I know that not tracking is not recommended but…

Thanks! Got them on today. Wasn’t as horrible an experience as I was expecting. Thankfully I haven’t experienced any pain yet🤞. I’m not much of a snacker, but I’m hoping that I’ll see results from those small snacks that I’m no longer having. I was preparing the fruit for tomorrow’s smoothie and I love to have one piece.…

I have successfully lost close to 30 lbs in the past 10 months. Unfortunately my progress has been slowing down and I am ready to rebuckle down and get the loss started again. Officially every time you eat you have to take out your trays, and then brush and floss. So every small snack that you want now comes along with a…

When I started my journey I switched to the smaller size snack bags and it has made all the difference! My single serving of pretzels now looks exactly like this instead of it looking like a measly little portion in a huge snack bag!

Thank you! I think i tried it on the biggest one and just didn’t go back far enough. Now I can get my inspiration again:)

Love that! That must have been really rough sitting it out for that long when you thought you were ok. But that’s amazing that you listened and you’re reeping the rewards. I’m listening in terms of not running/playing sports, but I’m having a harder time with things that fall outside of black and white. Like I can walk,…

Thanks! I have plantar fasciitis as well. 😩 thankfully it doesn’t stop me, just means I cry extra at the thought of getting up in the morning 😝 The problem that I’m having here is that I’m too motivated! And in order to get better I need to let myself rest. I never thought that would be my problem…. The very first day that…

I broke my foot 3.5 months ago and had surgery 12 days after. I was off my feet completely for 7 weeks. I had lost about 20 lbs at that point, and was playing basketball 1-2 days a week and climbing 2-3 days a week. My average step count was well over 10k assumed that most of my weight loss was from the amazing exercise I…

When I’m traveling I definitely end up eating an icecream razzle for dinner once in a while. It’s yum, has protein and keeps me full! I would never do it on a consistent basis, but 2-3 times a year seems fair 😊

I casually borrowed clothes from a friend. That is not something I have ever done before!!

Thanks to everyone for your helpful responses! Has anyone tried and had success with a night splint? For those that went the exercise route, how long of consistent stretching did it take to notice a difference? Is that something that you need to continue for life?

Thank you!

3.5 months ago I did bloodwork to try to get onto insurance, and I found out that I was prediabetic and had slightly elevated cholesterol. I lost 10 lbs since then and just redid my bloodwork and everything came back normal! I am quite relieved to have that off my head!
