@kuroba I’d explore why a dream body is so meaningful to you. What does that represent? What do you gain from having it? What changes if you do/don’t get that? Then, is that truly what’s important in a meaningful life or is it possibly rooted in insecurity and/or vanity? If you’re dealing with...

@vickiestewart Thank you! The number on the scale is not as simple as calories in vs out. I appreciate those acknowledging this. My metabolism is wrecked from what feels like a lifetime of over restriction and yo-yo dieting. I’m hoping to fix this with strength training and a sustainable diet.

OP here. It may be worth mentioning that I lost 60 lbs in 2023. Been stable at 185 without any effort for the last 6 months. I was walking 30-45 minutes on my desk tread most days before this challenge and was loosely tracking my intake just to monitor.

@estherrising I’m 5’7”. Also, I lost 60 lbs in 2023 with long periods of

@kenanga No, my Apple Watch tracks everything which I know is not reliable either. With it measuring my heart rate, I assume it is more personalized than LoseIt would be though.

@luisesvelle I actually recently started medication for under active thyroid and I lost 60lbs in 2023 with significant calorie restriction (

@dynamitedove I appreciate some reasonable explanations for weight gain! I know I’m not gaining fat, but it was confusing me how the scale could be going the opposite direction.

@hakeem_alyazeedi Thank you! This is helpful.

@betreshalephshinyadtaw Thank you! This is actually helpful and reminds me of past crash diets where I water fasted for days and didn’t lose any weight. Stress, inflammation, menstrual cycles all factor in to the number on the scale. I do tend to retain water.

@curtswill I am 100% without a doubt eating less than prior to starting this when I was steady at 184-186lbs. This obviously is not the only answer because I am NOT consuming more calories. I’m also not eating junk like chips and ice cream which was nearly daily before.

@curtswill Haha I’m chill. This is Reddit. I take answers with a grain of salt. I just want you to know that you couldn’t be more wrong, and that your ignorance could be harmful for some people to read. I’m in recovery from an eating disorder and I have plenty of experience tracking...

@curtswill Simply don’t reply if you’re going to be disrespectful. There are logical and scientific explanations for weight gain at this point besides eating too much. I am obviously not gaining fat as you seem to be concluding. I’ve started a video series of me measuring EVERY thing I ingest...

@living_abundantly I selected light activity which is described as walking about 3 miles a day. I do that in one of my workouts.

@living_abundantly Still… I know I’m not at a significant deficit. I wanted something sustainable as my goal is not to just drop a bunch of weight fast and then have it come back when I stop dieting.

39 F SW 185.6 CW 186.8 I started 75 hard April 1. My diet is not too restrictive, but I must eat at least 90g protein (typically it’s over 100g) and stay under 1700 calories (LoseIt app has this at a deficit for lightly active lifestyle and I’m typically coming in around 1500). I weigh and track...
