I became tired measuring calories by counting them here. So I’m working on eating food that can fill the fist 🤜 of my hand that equals the size of my stomach. I am also learning to eat calories according to my body’s need with age and activity, and believe me, it’s hard work but G*d who allows me to do everything with His…

What nobody told me was that even after reaching my goal that my mind will guilt me with my goal reach and tell me that I’m unable to maintain it. :#

Not everyone is made genetically to have a six pack or have a flat stomach no matter how much the workouts. Everyone can achieve a flat stomach once a level of extreme weight loss is achieved . But is it worth it if six packs appear while looking like a drug addicted person or someone with bulimia ? It is a lie that…

I also learned that if I wanted to enjoy still tracking my calories that I had to jump and delete “The Fitness Pal” app and switch to Lifesum for a scanner after October 1, 2022. My Fitness Pal App stopped being enjoyable and became bloated, slow and not anymore for weight loss oriented to me. Now I am happy again keeping…

What nobody told was that I would stop logging in my Fitness Pal for close to two years, thinking that I’m done keeping track of my calories and foods in on this app, and yet, I am back just because I missed the logging and the camaraderie that we have in this app, as we continue improving our lives. I thought I was done…

I had gone low twice to 156 lbs and I looked like a crack or meth addict ! I went up to a higher weight into the 210 lbs and had to reassess how I lose weight and what weight is realistic for me ( my body). So now although I never stopped working out at the gym, I’m now losing weight gradually and my wife helping me to see…

I will stop when I see my face creases showing up lol

Nobody told me how sensitive my knees are to any weight fluctuations.

Nobody told me that body charts for weight are not accurate when it comes to my body and that I was chasing someone else’s idea of how much my body should weigh without taking into consideration my health, look and my body’s comfort. So I don’t have to reach no ones goal from a chart for my weight! I need to reach the…

Needed this response today! I've been on spring break as a teacher and I've really been letting myself eat over my calories, but tomorrow is a new day, and if I've done it before I can do it again. We can do it! [/quote] The important thing is to go back and keep pushing ahead the way you’re doing it. We all experience…

Nobody told me that after reaching my goal weight I still have to reach my goal mindset about food and it’s triggers !

Nobody told me that I would be sick of dieting and would not want to repeat the event unless necessary! Also nobody told me that I would gain my weight back and more and would have to lose it again although with confidence knowing that I had done it before and now want to keep it off for good. :# B) :# B) B) B)

Nobody told me that my wife who swore that she hated the gym and cutting calories would be at the gym and cognizant of her calories and now is lifting heavy weights and proud of it. Oh ! And she today confessed that she actually enjoys going to the gym. What ! :o :o All that because I inspired her she says by my commitment…

Thank you Vismal for your response about the Jason Blaha’s issue.

Vismal, What happened with Jason’s Blaha’s videos and opinions ? I’m interested to know what is the controversy about him online from your perspective please ! I have done his program and I like it but he seems to have become critical of everyone on his videos. This is my observation now please give me your honest opinion…

I’m so proud of you ! This site is safer than Imgur and it is sad that some people hide behind technology to be rude and nasty.

I have also discovered that reading posts like these on this Thread can cause me to want to reach more goals that are not realistic for me as an individual simply because I want to recreate success when I should be satisfied with the ones I already attained for myself, and now it's just a matter of maintaining and also…

Lol ! You're so right. I love it

I love Vismal wisdom and clarity about this !

I have to agree with you on that !

I want abs too! Nothing is hard to maintain when made a habit although I understand what it's meant by hard maintenance!

That I feel better consuming now below 3,000 calories than going over and feel my digestive system stall and burdened by the amount of food after being used to eating on a deficit.

Ketogenic way of eating works for sure ! I'm very proud of you! B)

Congratulations B) I'm so very proud of you !

I'm very proud of you!

That's right !!

You're spouse did not know your weight ? :o Alol :D

I have to laugh greatly at this but it's so true ! I have thought the same thing but the way you expressed it was immaculate and perfect Alol :D

Alol :D I love my cheesecake and pizza and then am reshuffling my calories for the next day to make up for the calories of the previous pizza, cheesecake day to balance my week out. I've become good at it. My wife asks me my why I'm eating so little the next day and I tell her happily that i had my way the previous day and…

I feel your pain ! My knees need a pillow when I'm sleeping because all I feel if I don't use it is bones.
