@leander22 I relate to this so hard. I’m 5’1” and have never been under 130 lbs. I keep hearing my goal should be 120 but that seems impossible. I’ve lost over 30 lbs and am hovering around 138. I lift a lot and am very curvy, my boobs and butt definitely add some weight to me lol. But whenever...

@lgmmrm I've heard good things about Madewell and Abercrombie but have not pulled the trigger - will have to try them now!

@benaiah2015 Omg, I LOVE this approach! You hit the nail on the head about my concerns regarding stopping tracking cold turkey. I am absolutely going to try this, thank you so much for the tip!

@roman101 This is amazing advice, and something I really needed to hear. I think my biggest concern about cutting back on counting calories is not having any set rules/factors to focus on, but the list you provided gives me a different way to assess my weight loss without being fully dependant...

@inthepottershands This is exactly what I needed to hear. I've seen such success with being in a deficit that I've been scared to not be in one. I haven't done any sort of maintenance breaks in the past year and 3 months so I'm well overdue!!

@marieflore Wow, that's great! Love to hear that you pushed through. I'm in a similar boat, maybe I can incorporate more walking in my day along with exercise but I don't have too much more time to dedicate to adding more exercise to my typical day.

@elephas I started this whole process in Feb 2023, so it's been about a year and 3 months. I hear you, you really have to find movement that you enjoy doing so you can stay consistent. I often go for walks! If I'm going on a walk on a day that I did not work out I try to make it longer, usually...

@elephas Absolutely! In the past I had tried to force myself to do cardio (which I hated) and try diets like keto or low carb and of course none of it ever worked. So February 2023 I did a full mindset change. The two biggest things were 1.) being mindful of my food, and 2.) incorporating...

@elephas I hear you, I've been stuck in the 130's for 6 months even in a deficit, eating high protein, and consistent exercise. I think I really do need to go back into mainteance, and even maybe gain a couple pounds back, and then go back into a deficit. I've heard your body slowly starts to...

@jeanjason0209 You're absolutley right, if I'm not going to track I need to follow what you said. This weekend I tried to "not track" aka at the end of the weekend I went back and guesstimated what I ate, and when I don't count beforehand I absolutely eat past the point of satisifed. It'll be a...

@prayer_warriorinprogress Love this idea - at this point I eat essentially the same breakfasts/lunches regularly, but dinners and snacks can fluctuate. I will def try to incorporate this!

@jeanjason0209 This is a really good piece of advice. I was eating at a 500 calorie deficit and once my plateau started I changed to just a 200 calorie deficient, out of fear of going back completely to maintenance lol. I think you’re right a good stepping stone could be tracking at maintenance...

For context, I’m 5’1” and started at 175 lbs, currently at 134 lbs. I’ve been stuck in the 130s for the past 6 months, but I’m assuming it’s mostly muscle since I think I’m still losing weight (i.e., pants I bought a month and a half ago are already way too big.) To lose weight I have been...
