@dawn16 “Too much food” ha! Who designated you the arbiter of how hungry we SHOULD be or how much food we SHOULD want to enjoy? Care to share with the group any other tips about how our bodies feel and what we should want?

@dawn16 Some of us are hungry! I could EASILY eat 2,000 calories a day and I would be comfortable (or maybe have some wiggle room for a treat now and then). My BMR is…wait for it…955 calories a day. RMR is 1214. So yeah, if I want to share with my fellow shorties that this can be a challenge and...

@dawn16 You missed the point. It is so little food that many of us are still often hungry. Some of us just want more pleasure. So how about you run along now and get your male non-petite butt out of a petite women’s space. Not every problem needs to be solved. Sometimes you just hold hands with...

@dawn16 This is not about what we CAN do, this is about what we WANT to do. I’m sure you can enjoy orgasms if you only have two a week. The average for a dude in his 30s is “just under 3”. Wouldn’t you PREFER 3 though? So now do you understand how ridiculous your comment is?

@blingey123 Well good for you, some of us aren’t so lucky. We are frequently a little hungry and that’s just life if we want to stay within a healthy weight range. Feelings are just feelings and feeling frustrated is a perfectly reasonable emotion to have at times, so is sadness, and no, people...

@blingey123 Nobody asked for “a solution” and nobody said food is their main source of pleasure. Food and the sensation of being full are sources of pleasure for most humans however and shorties have special challenges in this area. It’s perfectly reasonable to look to this group for support...

@jenniferlee I hear you. I lost weight and that part is sad. The good news is, it is no harder to maintain your goal weight than your current weight, it’s so few calories difference, so when you finally do get there, you will already have the skills to stay there. Congratulations on your success...

@gorightgirl I don’t give a flying f what some essentially unemployed ding dong on tik tok has to say about what to wear to the gym. Nobody is looking at me. I guarantee that nobody is looking at you either unless it is one of those clicky pick up/hookup gyms in which case, find another gym...

@aspatat I ate at my goal weight maintenance and didn’t eat back workout calories (except when my body demanded it) and not only am I at goal, maintenance has been easy. I even had to up my calories because I have more muscle now so burn more on rest days. The key is, don’t do anything to lose...

@g3ntl3w4rri0r What is wrong with people that they don’t understand this obvious point? We all have different frames. I’m sorry they are so ignorant. It must be trying. Plus, in a couple years, that butt will be out of style. Body type preference goes in cycles.

@slant After a while measuring and weighing you get pretty good at estimating. As long as your weight is on track there’s no need especially if your guesses at home have been pretty accurate. You can just revisit periodically so portions don’t creep up.

@called2 Deadlift. But lift anything.

@_youngboolingbhris_ Read Atomic Habits then follow some of the advice here.

@farmwife Nothing. Make sure you are drinking enough water, getting adequate fiber, and sleeping enough. One day it will whoosh off. This will happen again when you start at the gym and can last weeks. Trust the process!

@hovis You are making progress. Give this time.

@debate507 You would have to be very tiny with very little muscle mass to worry about 1350 being too low.

@senni Mine is lower. Of course I’m older too. I keep seeing posts about reverse dieting so maybe I’ll give that a try.

@stosa It varies but ranges between 1350 if I’m a total couch potato to 1500-1600 if I’m really active, but you have to keep in mind that I’m older (59), have a sedentary job, am short with a small frame, and do the bare minimum workouts necessary for health. I use my Fitbit and CICO.

@stosa It literally is that number. I’m sure those counters aren’t 100% accurate but it seemed to work. I added exercise/steps back in and did an appropriate average for the week.

@stosa I used a calorie calculator and used my goal weight for sedentary. Then I got a Fitbit. Now I use the LoseIt app. It’s pretty easy. If I’m planning on going on vacation or something I bank a few thousand calories but I never go totally wild for more than a meal here and there. It’s just...
