I’m still trying to figure out what my maintenance calories are. I wonder if it’s even possible to have a maintenance calorie of 1500 even if I’m working out lol I feel like I’m gaining weight eating at 1400-1500 Activity: - Lift 5x a week + 30 min treadmill zigzagging running and walking on...

I’m 5’2”, and I’ve lost 43 pounds so far. 160-117. Somehow, I didn’t anticipate that all of my favorite clothes just… wouldn’t fit anymore. I logically knew it would happen, but I guess it just seemed so far away? Like, I had some shirts that were a little tight and I wanted to fit in them...

Hi yall, first just wanted to shoutout this sub bc it has been sooo helpful. I've been lurking for a bit now and have learned a lot :) I started my weight loss journey in mid August of this year with sw: 141 and gw: 125-127 with my current weight fluctuating between 134-136 for the past month...

Hey y’all, with this quarantine I’m feeling disappointed in myself about the amount of weight I’ve gained. I’ve been trying to work out, but with the cold rainy weather settling in and dealing with the workload of school and work my work out routine has disappeared. My self esteem has been going...

I am 21F 5’3 and in the beginning, my journey was purely through calorie count and I lost 25 lbs (161 to my current 136)I ate between 1400-1500 calories and very little exercise besides some walking. As my maintenance has lowered (1630 currently) so has my deficit, I try and aim for 1300-1400...

hi YALL - so I recently lost 27 lbs and shed 5 inches off my waist. I’m currently stuck at a 27inch waist and want to get down to a 24-25. The issue I’m having is I am 110 and 5’1 and not willing to lose anymore weight. I work out often and I’m still holding onto a bit of body fat. Any tips on...

Hi, I am looking for advice for getting in shape after giving birth. I will be going in for a c-section sometime in the next couple of weeks, and plan on breastfeeding. I’ve been told not to focus on dieting or weight loss during the first six months as this could reduce milk production, but...

When I eat a protein rich meal (30+ g) it keeps me full for too long (which I know is kind of the point) but for example, I’ll eat 30g for breakfast and then I wont be hungry till dinner where I try to get another 30g in. I rarely get past 60g of protein. Im 5’2, 117 lbs and trying to recomp and...

Hi everyone! Title pretty much sums it up. F, in my 20s, 5'3", 146 lbs. I started regularly strength training in February. Been making progress I'm happy with in terms of strength and endurance. I've lost a little bit of weight, maybe 2 lbs since I started, since I don't do a big deficit and I...

24F. 5’0. CW: 148 lbs GW: 120 lbs. My TDEE is calculated at 1,846 calories. I’ve started my 1,400 calorie diet today and half way through the day I already have a massive headache. I slept through breakfast, so for lunch I had: BBQ pork riblets- 200 g (270 calories), 1/2 cup red mashed potatoes...

How do you all lower your calories or at least make healthier choices when you’re low on energy/health?? My weight has gone way up since a bit before Christmas, because of binging/mcdonalds/alcohol to manage massive pain. I saw a doctor for the pain in October and it was dismissed and nothing...

Hi I’m having a hard time staying at 1200 calories especially days when I exercise. I try not to eat back all my exercise calories but end up kind of binging when I get back from a workout. I usually try to an hour of exercise a day whether it be on the elliptical or running outside or some sort...

OK, minor click bait… A few months ago, I stopped formally working out. I stopped lifting, stopped doing cardio workouts…stopped it all. I just woke up and realised that it was going to kill me if I didn’t slow down and give myself a break. I have CPTSD from both a toxic childhood AND a series...

Eating around the holidays can cause a lot of anxiety and I want everyone to remember you’re allowed to indulge and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty!! Please don’t feel bad if you ate more than usual, or didn’t train because the gyms were closed, or didn’t have enough time to get your steps...

I see new recipes I want to try all the time, but then realize I’d have to weigh everything out and input the data and figure out how much of it I can eat, and then I don’t even want to make it. I feel like calorie counting is disturbing my relationship with food (food is good, should be...

Hi! I’ve posted on here before about how moving more as a petite person truly made all the difference in moving the needle (literally) in terms of weight loss instead of a severely restrictive diet alone (for me, personally). TLDR; I’m just wondering what people consider a “workout” when...

I’m 5’3 f/28. So two years ago I lost 80 pounds eating 1200 cal a day and doing cardio for two hours a day. Obviously I’ve been told that that is not a healthy lifestyle, two years down the line and I’m struggling to not gain the weight back I’ve gained about 15 to 20 pounds. I’d like to go...

I’m 29, 5’2, and 135 lbs. as long as I can remember I’ve always had a very abrupt shelf of stomach fat, even when I was younger at a lower weight. I’ve recently lost about 15 lbs and planning to lose 15 more, but I want to look into ways that I can smooth out this stomach, as I think it’ll still...
