That sounds incredibly boring and if I were a betting woman I'd give it 3 weeks before you were binging on biscuits

Height : 5'6" HW: 240lbs CW: 154.2lbs Body Fat % : No idea, feels like a million lol March Lofty Goal : 149.9 Would still be thrilled to get : 151.7 Ultimate Goal: 145 (I think) March 1: 154.2 March 8: 154.4 March 15: March 22: March 30: My deficit has been solid but I did start taking a supplement that will cause me to…

Some people are better at restricting than moderating but I don't know anyone that has been "keto for life" so eat that way if you feel you must but understand thermodynamics, water/glycogen so that you aren't one of the sad keto failures that go from 20g carbs a day to 500g a day because of having restricted and then…

gotta look on the bright side; at least I got abs out of all this LOL

I think the only reason I ran to the ER was because there was a known cause for my stroke. It took 12 weeks for the tear in my artery to heal so I *knew* it was there and 12 weeks is a looooong time to know something that could kill you is still there and only being managed by blood thinners. Was I eating too much food…

I have no long term deficits. I did out-patient rehab (which I feel I didn't really need after 6 months) for a year; physically. Mentally was a whole other ball-game. I was a mess. Like a literal emotional mess. Every time I went to bed I thought I was going to die, every headache I got I ran to the ER (which is so not…

In 2012 I had a stroke after a chiropractor clipped my vertebral artery. I was barely wiping my own butt at the 3 week mark as the clot went to the base of my brain leaving me totally paralyzed but after about 6 months they recommended I start doing free weights as a way to recover some balance and I was still on…

FYI Ice cream is about half in grams as it is in Ml if you can't get the exact gram measure. I cri

I usually ask my American friends to give me the gram measure for things like ice cream lol pain.

IIFYM (which is really just an intelligent way to count calories)

I'm 5'6" 155lbs and I'm dieting down to 145 so on 1850-2K I eat about 180-200g

I walk for food. I eat more now than I did as a sedentary fat lady. It's really just a problem of budgeting but unlike your career choice you have more control over your energy budget and more immediately lol

Just found Halo Top in Canada. 1 like = 1 pray

I'm 5'6" and 154 walk 15k steps daily and lift 4x week and I'm 200g carb (maybe 180 on a lazier day) 140g protein and 60g fat. Eat between 1850-2k

My kids are amazing when they're at my house but I share custody with my ex and they eat a lot of calorie dense foods over there. I do my best to mind my son's options (I don't limit his food by any means but I do make ALL of our food less calorie dense because I am watching my weight too lol) He loves salads with lean…

nvm, just saw your diary is public. More chicken, greek yogurt, coldcuts, shakes, low fat cheese, milk

What are your protein goals in grams? If you're obese there's a good chance if you follow the .8-1g/lb guidelines you have a ridiculously high number that is overkill

I have a heavy 10yo boy and I did get him a Garmin Jr so we can compete for steps and he SEES me weigh my food. I think 13 is a little early, maybe 16-17-18 once they've "grown" taller. I'm hoping he leans out with time but we are taking the lead by example approach. It wouldn't surprise me if he dieted on his own if he…

Off to a great start; jelly beans and rice pudding with raisins for dinner last night! Still under calories but my macros were a little wonky lol

I eat about 1850-2K depending on how active I am. My goal is to keep TDEE at around 2500 but some days I don't get there so I give up some rice pudding that day haha

For what it's worth it took me a good couple months to iron out the kinks and inaccuracies in my logging. I promise you it's worth the effort. Once you have solid data that you can rely on you will never again wonder why you're not losing :)

This is my first post in this group, hope you don't mind I join your challenge :) Height : 5'6" HW: 240lbs CW: 154.2lbs Body Fat % : No idea, feels like a million lol March Lofty Goal : 149.9 Would still be thrilled to get : 151.7 Ultimate Goal: 145 (I think) March 1: 154.2 March 8: March 15: March 22: March 30:

Also this. I mostly just hit the treadmill in the rain but I'm in Ontario and have had 15K steps daily on my 30 minute commute to work. Neck warmer, mitts, a down coat and boots!

I hit the $10/month gym I have for the sole purpose of crappy weather cardio lol

Depends. If you're obese then slow and steady. If you're already relatively lean and you're cutting 5lbs the quicker the better (although you may not have much of a choice here lol)

March 1: weight 154.2 I think even 1lb a week for me might be aggressive but I'm *hoping* to see 149.999999 by the end of this month! @Will_Run_for_Food we're pretty much the same weight/goal this month xx

I do PHUL 4x/week and I walk 15k steps every day (so steady state cardio) I don't prefer one over the other but they are both valuable and necessary for my goals (looking good naked)

Based on those stats I'd say you were lightly active. I'd be more inclined to suggest 15-1600. That might help you stay on track this time around too.

If your calories are really low, you might be willing to sacrifice the nutrition for weight loss but would you sacrifice the weight loss? I know from my early days that dieting that aggressively is a huge binge waiting to happen and I can do spectacular damage that would negate any fat loss the week before (and even the…
