Cant figure out how to edit.

I only like whole milk, I don't see the point of other milks, if I don't want the calories I could just not have the milk.

I do 23:1 on weekdays and 16:8 on weekends. I find 23:1 makes it a lot easier than 16:8 to stick to my calorie limit.

Original starting weight - 119.7kg May starting weight - 108.5kg May goal - 106kg Ultimate goal - 67kg May 1st - 108.5 May 8th - May 15th - May 22nd - May 29th - Total loss for May -

I log them in apple health because I want to increase them but I don't worry about adding calories for them.

I like the look of slender but soft on women and more chiselled (but not "ripped") on a man.

Lentils, beans, rice, potato, these staples are cheap. Then there's fresh veg for flavour and bulk - a bit more expensive, but not as expensive as flavouring food with meat. No... veganism is way cheaper than omnivoreism.

The original question was answered ages ago then the thread moved on to totally different topics. But it does feel like everyone gangs up on me a bit just because I have a different opinion. I don't see why I have to agree with everything people say, does it matter if I don't think I need calories from outside if I have…

Sure if you're thin, but obviously I have a massive excess of calories and will do for the next 2 years AT LEAST so I don't need to worry about providing exogenous calories.

I don't add it in. I always assume permanently being sedentary. I would even if I was exercising because imo exercise calories are a bonus and shouldn't be assumed or relied on.

I don't expect to but I do *want* to lol. Like the aim is to try, but if I genuinely can't keep it up I'll have to re-evaluate. But that's why I want to lose faster now. If I am losing like 0.1kg every 2 months or something by then I need to lose really fast now to make up for it.

67kg and 167cm still aiming for 0.5kg a week. My 11 goals are: 113kg (already got that one yay!) (1600kcal) 107kg (1600kcal) 102kg (1500kcal) 97kg (1500kcal) 92kg (1400kcal) 87kg (1300kcal) 83kg (1300kcal) 79kg (1300kcal) 71kg (1200kcal) 67kg (1100kcal) I don't want to stop losing at 67kg (although it's the final goal)…

So then either run a new model where you increase activity halfway through, or accept that you're going to have to redo your charts when you become more active.[/quote] I would like to add some exercise in the future, but if I can't fit it in now how will I fit it in later? I did make the reward for my 3rd goal to be…

did I ask you to “ease my mind”. Can a girl not share her feelings around here?

It’s super scary though isn’t it. Like I’m doing OMAD and my husband is taking me out to eat at freaking 5 guys tomorrow and I logged what I’m going to have and I know it fits in 1600kcal and it’s fine but I feel like no way, I can’t lose weight this week if I had 5 guys. And I know I’ll gain some from the sodium making it…

Right but I am assuming all predictions are based on that staying the same.

I enjoy thinking about it. It’s exciting. I’m 2kg away from my second of 11 goals and when I get there I’m getting a 2oz silver coin. It’s so close yet so far. I’m already way ahead of my initial plan which makes me happy but I’m also nervous about falling behind long term so I want to keep on top of things.

You asked a question and I answered it. All I asked was if the prediction I got above seemed reasonable because it seemed really slow to me. Although I guess it’s 20% of my current rate so could be right. It’s not a whole different ballpark or anything.

It should assume I’m probably only losing at about 10-50% of the rate I appear to be or something? Weight loss should always be underestimated and weight gain overestimated just to be safe.

I’m worried I’m going to accidentally eat too much early on when my extra mass gives me more tdee and thus more potential deficit and then once I’m smaller and have much less tdee to cut from I won’t be able to do anything about it and I’ll be stuck losing weight for 10 years and won’t get to have any more kids.

I want a prediction that takes that into account instead of overestimates.

Nah happy scale just overestimates my current rate of loss and then depresses me when I plateau.

Kg a month is still pretty slow going. Might try cutting calories some more in that case. I feel kind of overfull with 1600 on OMAD anyway. I want to be finished with the losing phase in 2 and a half years so I can get pregnant again. So I need to be losing 2kg a month at least.

I put 167cm and 109kg. Maybe it thought I meant lbs but I definitely selected metric.

I wasn’t necessarily planning to do that every week (husband isn’t keen on it anyway) just from time to time. Next time I plan to do is in the run up to my birthday so I can eat a bit more on my birthday (15th May) and conversly so I don’t want to eat too much on my birthday and ruin it lol. I already eat 1600kcal a day…

It’s 1600kcal and once a month 2100kcal sorry.

But I wanted evidence. The best I got was some stuff about how we need more protein, which I've read contrasting stuff about (admittedly from 80/10/10ers). Nothing to back up the claims that we can't burn more than 100g of body fat a day or anything.

Threatening? I already did it, I will do it again Friday. I might do it again in future depending how much it freaks out my husband (I don't like freaking him out). What is wrong with "easy"? Surely I should make it as easy as possible to avoid the risk of giving up? And if I am losing weight I am getting less fat right?…
