5'3.5 here. Started 152, currently 144, ultimate goal is 125 although I'd be happy at 130 or so.

There are also mango ones, coffee ones, and banana cinnamon ones!

Thanks, I've considered trying overnight oats and things to that effect. I'm just so used to small meals/snacks that I tend to get bloated/uncomfortable.

It's not a job though, just a volunteer internship. I realize that a paid position requires a thirty minute lunch break, but I'm not being paid.

I can eat the food. I'm the one choosing not to eat it. They're a shelter, they don't have the facilities to cater to everyone, and since we're volunteering there aren't any official breaks. If there's a lull I get my purse from the closet and cram a pb sandwich. And no, I can't eat my own food. It's sort of a requirement…

Nope, that's not my goal at all. I just want to look thin enough for a two piece bathing suit.

Is ground chicken a thing? It's pretty much the only meat I eat, turkey makes me sick.

I barely eat meat, so I don't think that would be a good option.

I mean, I know all about the benefits and stuff. I just don't know if it's something I want to do for myself. Lifting heavy requires funds I don't have and energy I don't have.

I'm over ten pounds overweight, much more than that since I have a medium frame. I'd call that fat. I don't know how I feel about recomping. I'll see how I feel about myself at 115.

I can't tell what my TDEE is because I don't exercise for the sake of it. I walk a bit, but according to other posters it's not enough to be considered activity. If I called myself sedentary, my TDEE would be 1700 calories, and to lose weight I'd be eating around 1200.

I have no interest in recomping anyway. I'd just like to be lighter. I get that I'm fat now.

I've thought about it. Anything to lose weight, I guess. I figured eating less would be easier.

I'll try that. I'm already pretty tired after the walk, though.

My doctor says I'm out of shape, but otherwise okay. I figured the walking would be fine. I guess I have to do even more. :/

Jesus, I'm already tired with this.

I'm planning not to eat my exercise calories so I'll have a buffer. I log and measure all the food I can, so I'm guessing 450 extra exercise calories would cover that.

I'm 5'3, so probably shorter. I have no butt, haha.

I'm rather tired, yeah. I don't walk all that fast, but I'm not what you'd call fit. I don't really thrive doing sports though.

Well, great. I'm already tired from all this walking.

More calories out? I walk about 4 miles a day, how much more exercise do I need? I'm pretty sure I'm eating accurately, but even if I'm not, wouldn't cutting to 1200 give me buffer room for inaccuracies?

I'm 30 pounds away from goal weight, and about 10 pounds overweight.

I average at least an hour of active minutes and 10,000 steps. My clothes and measurements have been the same for months.

I'm planning to do 1200 with no exercise calories. I'm currently on 1290 with exercise calories, which brings me to 1600-1700. I only have a face-up picture, I assure you that I look fat and need to lose the weight.

I don't weigh in daily because I don't have a scale at my apartment, I weigh whenever I go home, every month or so. It's not great, but it's the best I can do on my budget. I've only lost one pound in 6 weeks.

The fitbit minus 500 gives me around 1600-1700 calories, which I regularly eat. But it feels like way too much food because I'm not losing.

You do look a lot better than I do, haha. I'm rather fluffy.

I know how you feel. It's not going to be fun eating 1200, but I really want results.

Currently 26.4 (ugh), hoping to be at 20.4 but not sure if I'll get there.

Thank you!
