@cscotte Oh yeah! The first 15 lbs or so were almost definitely volume of food in-tummy-so-on-scale and water weight, and it has evened out a lot, but I was thinking about doing a short maintenance sort of reset at 220? Do you think that's fair? Your maintenance phases look smart... maybe I...

@comfortingheartsministry Ooo! You know, I do a lot of going out to eat = the whole celebration... maybe that is a big change I should work on!! Also hearing how you settled in to that maintenance weight is extremely helpful... I'm thinking about a maintenance break at 220! Thanks so much!

@bones49 Thank you! I am working on the therapy side of things too, dw! And omg I've literally never thought about putting peanut butter in oats and now I want it so bad lol. I love oatmeal, so definitely putting that on the menu!!

@dawn16 Hmm... that could be part of my problem too. A trend I've seen in the replies here is a lot of the meals are a big thing with 2 little things... Like a big slab of meat with a small side of veg or a pile of rice with a bit of tofu or ... whatever... I think I have some outdated idea of...

@dawn16 Yeah I struggle with protein so so much lol... like... it used to be way worse. I was using peanut butter and cheese for protein last time I tried to lose weight!! I'll look qt some more meat sources lol... thanks again!

@dawn16 Oh wow, thank you so so much for writing all that out... so many ideas!! And yummy ones too! I was going to ask about the egg life wraps but then you said about the allergy thing. I really appreciate the protein examples!! I struggle with proteins a lot... like... basically all I eat...

@soulrevive Well, that bombs, lol

@soulrevive I'm going to petition the company to make it... 😆 But i bet there are banana fudgsicles 🤔 that'd do...

@soulrevive Omg I'm so disappointed, I wanted that to be a thing so badly I manifested it in my mind. Amd omg wow, really? Only 40 calories? That's less than my diet treats!!!

@soulrevive Apple nectarine fudgsicle are 3 words I've never heard put together before and omg sounds so amazing! I also feel like your breakfast would be something I'd crace around lunchtime lol 😋 Thank you for all the great information, especially what you plan when you go out! That's...

@jennycasono Oh wow, congrats! It sounds like you're doing awesome and being smart about it! Meanwhile I still need to lose about 100lbs to be anywhere near healthy... sigh. Ah well, I did it to myself, I suppose. Anyway, I hope you continue to be super successful!! And thank you again for...

@jennycasono That sounds way better than what I'm eating lol! Also, congrats on the loss AND the maintenance!! Do you have much farther to go? I... literally never think of changing things around to fit my day, lol. Maybe that's part of the problem 🤔 Thank you for responding! This is all...

@brokenhearted822 Oh gosh, yeah... I'm nowhere near that physically active lol. I'm disabled but I've regained a lot of mobility lately!! But nowhere near that much. I've just gotten to where I can average maybe 3000 steps per day! But that all makes sense, and hopefully I can be that active...

@brokenhearted822 I used to average around 4000 kcal per day, so a lot of the initial weight loss was just sheer volume of food, lol... and lots of water weight loss. I've been eating an average of 1440 kcal per day. But I was talking about what my tdee would be at like 120-130 lbs... it...

@brokenhearted822 Oh cool, so you're actually eating over 2000 per day? How do you burn so many calories as a petite person? Everything I've seen shows that even active I'd be burning 1600-1800 at reasonable weights for me?

@sunee1 Thank you, I will definitely take a look at those resources! It's really interesting seeing the way the meals are spread out. I'm actually noting all the replies down in a notebook so I can look for patterns lol. Also congrats on your 60 lbs lost!! That's truly incredible!!

@smooman Yeah I think implementing more rules and structure has already helped me a lot... maybe I need more of that! (I'm basically a giant toddler anyway, lmao) Specific meal times is probably a good idea. So over the last 2 months, I tried just straight cico with no restrictions (lots of...

@smooman I think that may be part of my (many) problem(s), lol. Obviously I've never been able to do much exercise, but thinking about how I used to eat, I think a lot of binges and fast food splurges tended to happen on days when I had to go out and do more stuff! Maybe making plans each week...

@smooman Changing up for different days never really occurred to me until this time around, lol... so then you get bigger meals on days you exercise basically? 🤔 Thank you for replying!

@call_me_tom Lol, I'm from the south US but in Minnesota now, unfortunately or fortunately, depending on mood... Also, working on the water thing... I'll get a brita next time i have cash! I've been trying to do bottled water with mio drops! I should also invest in hot sauce 🤔 I've been doing...
