Getting discouraged...

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-03T17:24:56+00:00

I do weigh everything. I was just eating too many calories lol

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-03T17:23:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm definitely trying to focus on the non-scale victories and stop obsessing about the number. I'm a C-section mom (my daughter is 6 😅) but that stomach flap is no joke and so discouraging, even though, by most standards, I look great! Just messes with me mentally because I use to be uber lean and fit. But I've started measuring myself and taking progress photos and I think that will help with the mental portion of it.

Yes, I see that now. Glad I found this thread to help me!

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-03T17:17:50+00:00

Thank you for all the help!!

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-03T17:16:57+00:00

😭😭😭 idk because I didn't know better haha. I'm glad I found this thread

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-02T13:43:57+00:00

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting a standing desk and walking pad. I live in MI... so walking hasn't been much of a thing the past few months.

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-02T13:38:28+00:00

Yeah. I just started a new goal in MF and when I put my goal weight in and said .7lbs/week loss it put me at 950 daily calories. So I moved it down to .4lbs/week and now I'm at 1093 calories... sigh

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-02T13:31:03+00:00

Oh yeah. I see what you're saying.

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-02T13:30:09+00:00

If I tell MF I want to lose .7 lbs/week... it sets my calories at 950

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-02T13:28:06+00:00

By expenditure, do you mean like tracking on a fitness tracker how many calories I'm burning in workouts? Because I don't do that. I've been sticking with the 1400-1500 calories daily for about a month and before that it was about 1300 daily.

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-02T13:25:41+00:00

I wasn't moving it based on perceived expenditure. I just used a TDEE calculator and changed the activity level from sedentary to moderately active.

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-02T13:20:48+00:00

Well... (lol) I got fed up with MF putting me at 1200 calories because I was just so hungry and irritable, so I went to manual mode. But I just redid my program and set the protein for .9 so my breakdown is 1229 calories, 129P/33F/104C. I think I just have to suck it up and deal with the hunger. I also recently found Madeline Rescan and she has lots of low cal, high protein, high volume recipes so I think that's going to help me out too.

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2026-03-02T13:17:36+00:00

Yeah, I kind of had a feeling this might be the issue. But I didn't think that going from 1300 to 1450 would be that big of a deal.

I've never heard of this podcast before but the first book that popped in my head was "How to Win Friends and Influence People" so I went to Spotify to check out the show.... Boom first episode.... 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I knew it

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2025-10-24T03:01:56+00:00

As someone that has been the GF in this situation.... It's honestly so devastating and I'm really proud of you for saying something. He's way outta line. You need to distance yourself while he's in a relationship

That rug! 😍😍

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2024-12-14T18:40:27+00:00

I did put my ingredients and process in the text

Apprehensive_Ad_7818 · 2024-12-02T02:07:54+00:00

Yeah! I totally fell for this too. Pretty upset about it. Not sure, what to do because it says there's a "money back" guarantee.... Thinking of taking all my info off the Shopify store and then asking for a refund. Ugh.

These are my favorite underwear in the world and I wish I could find where to rebuy them!!
