@johnjs37 Seriously!! I also gained 20 lbs quickly due to the health stuff. I’m 30 lbs over what I want to be but I can’t seem to lose any weight because I love food and portions are so hard. I’m always hungry!

@peaceprevails26 I’m 5’3” and in the 150’s now. I wish I felt good but I feel better at 130ish. I carry all my fat in my legs and butt. I’ve been trying to lose weight and my body is just stuck at 155

@freds I hope so!! It’s so hard to eat 1500 calories now. Haha. Or I just love food too much lol

@freds I feel like my maintenance is anything over 1750 but I think it’s more like 1900. I’m trying to eat 1600 but I’m constantly hungry and always go over on weekends. I do Orangetheory/run 2x a week and strength training 2x. I eat 115-120g of protein a day

@irishamerican4christ I’m the same height (but 10 lbs heavier) and do Orangetheory 2-3x a week and strength train and my registered dietitian has me at 1575 calories a day. I think 1800 a day would be closer to maintenance than a deficit.

@amooama Saw you posted this in the otf sub, but I will say the same. I would limit your workouts. You are working out potentially 9x a week and only eating 1600 calories. I recommend limiting your workouts. You aren’t giving your body time to recover. I currently eat 1500-1600 as my deficit as...

@yakob123 I’m 5’3” and 160 (recently gained weight) and I’m not a small. Medium usually! And size 8-ish. Idk about them getting bigger

@solr Wow! I’m basically your before stats. I was weight training for awhile before I actually saw some fat loss. I’m your same stats for exercise vs non exercise days. I basically eat 1500-1600. Closer to 1450-1550 on non exercise days and trying to calorie cycling on days I do workout. So it...

@made2worship Give it time! Make sure you are weighing your food but also that seems like a lot of working out most days. Maybe you are working out too much? If I work out, my body does get bloated and the scale seems to be going up. Do you take a weight average? I weigh every or most days and...

@philm I feel this. I strength train 2x and run 2x a week but recently I’ve been so hungry that I can’t eat below 1700. I’ve tried 1500 and always go over. I’ve been maintaining forever. Trying to lose 30 lbs. my BMR is very close to yours!

@steven92 I love it! I eat Oikos plain and it’s great. That being said, I don’t eat just that for breakfast. I eat oatmeal and Oikos for breakfast with coffee.

@slant My RD suggested a “cheat meal” 1-2 days a week where you don’t track. Maybe try that?

@gelimontana143 Yes you definitely should eat more! How tall are you? I’m 5’3” and I’m eating 1550-1650 a day and I strength train 2x and cardio 2x (but I have an office job). I would try increasing by 100-200 cals and see what happens!

@hovis This is me! I do weights for a hour 2x a week with a personal trainer so it’s a lot for me. I’ve seen great muscle gain fairly quickly but I’m 5’3” 160 lbs and I haven’t lost anything. I want to get back to 130-ish and lose body fat. I’ve been trying for a year and no luck - I’m good...

@arttonie I’ve had luck with a calorie deficit and heavy lifting! And some cardio

@skillz I really like Oikos Greek yogurt - it has 15-20g of protein depending on the flavor. I can’t have whey protein powder either so I like the chocolate Vega sport protein (pea protein)

@alex1234567890 I’m 5’3” 158 and I was told to eat 115g of protein a day. I think you might be able to increase protein! I definitely have the same body type (I carry my fat on my lower body for sure) so I know the struggle. I’ve been trying to lose as well for a really long time but I go from...

@adriana28 This is what I do! I always pre-track and basically eat the same breakfast and lunch and then rotate a couple dinners. I know (roughly) how many calories the dinners are too so I can stay within the calories! I’m sure he will be supportive! My husband is just happy that he doesn’t...

@adriana28 I feel this. I moved in with my bf, got engaged and married and I gained 20-30 lbs. I would start tracking again. Luckily my husband also tracks, but I don’t think there’s anything to be embarrassed about. You can have a chat with your bf and let him know this is something you would...

@slant I agree. I find strength training boring but I’ve seen a ton of benefits!
