    What did you do to lose weight?

    @bunnylightheart Really it comes down to calories in/calories out. As long as you eat fewer calories than you burn in a day, mathematically it’s guaranteed that you will lose weight, how much will depend on how large your deficit is.

    Calorie deficit for 5’0?

    @olleg12 This is amazing - I’m saving your comment! I feel like I’m so careful of my meals focusing on hitting my protein and load up on veggies and fitting in complex carbs, I also work out 5x/week, have a 1600 cal limit, and yet I am still always hungry (I don’t have cravings for anything in...

    @ebarnes I’m not sure how they compare, but I’ve developed a major love for coconut water as a great source of electrolytes post workout! Costco sells them in bulk and it isn’t breaking the bank!

    The answer to all the “why am I not losing weight?” posts

    @butterfly2222 These are great points, and many of them I have had to reckon with. I kept telling myself I was eating “healthy” but my healthy choices included “healthy” food I’d get when eating out yet I can’t see or measure what they’re adding, and restaurants tend to add hidden salt, sugar...
