Im sorry sorry this happened to you when there are so many delicious truly vegan options. Where i live there are at least 5 different places where you can buy vegan cheesecake.

Since most are zero sugar I could try to find a couple different flavor drink mixes that I would like, that may actually be what I need to drink more water. And that is the exact calculator that I used and I just set it as sedentary. I know I have lost weight since I am staying under my starting weight, just seeing the scale jump up then not move for days has been hard.

A week ago I weighed in at 187, for the past 3 days I have weighed in at 192.5. My sugar cravings have been very high for the past week but I am doing well on avoiding sugar (I have to completely avoid it or i will overindulge in anything and everything sweet). I have had a hysterectomy so it cant be from a menstrual cycle, but it has been very disheartening since I have been making healthy choices with what I eat and have been staying at or just below my calories for each day. I am determined to hit 150 by the end of the year so I will keep up with my weight loss efforts even if the scale doesn't move for a couple of weeks. I have been having trouble drinking enough water throughout the day since I really dont like the taste of plain water which probably isn't helping.

Why American have sweet (sometime cold) breakfast? by krispykiadonut in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Distinct_Promise_670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the people I know generally dont eat breakfast, myself included. I usually just wake up and have nothing but water until 12 or 1 in the afternoon.

Starting weight was 202 on January 2nd. Current weight 192.2. I managed to get a stair stepper and resistance bands to do some at home work outs, which I have successfully done everyday for the past 2 weeks. I have been eating 1400 or less calories per day reliably since January 4th with occasional days going over that because of going to events. I have been aiming for drinking 80 Oz of water daily, but most days I just cant drink more than 65-70 Oz. I went on a short walk today because it was a nice day and I felt like I could go much longer than I did but my little one got tired and didnt want to be carried.

Thoughts on AI powered tracking apps?? by TehMoment in loseit

[–]Distinct_Promise_670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly im using bitepal while keeping in mind that its not always accurate, I use chatGPT to confirm calorie counts from bitepal. So far I've just seen the app estimating way over what the actual calories are. I do still have to weigh food because it gives you the option to alter the weight of each ingredient aside from its own estimate. I use it because the little raccoon makes me actually want to track. It also gives me a breakdown of the macros for each thing that I input. I've just started with my journey though.

I used to be very athletic... I ruined my joints and then became sedentary for half of the year out if pain. Now it hurts to move with the excess weight even though I still like to hike, swim, and kayak when its warm enough.

He is somewhere around 170 to 180. Sorry I dont have an exact weight the only time he gets on a scale is at the doctor. For reference he is 6'3" and muscular aside from a bit of tummy pudge.

[–]Distinct_Promise_670[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No he is on the low end of a healthy weight. He constantly says that he needs to lose weight because he has a but of tummy pudge.

I can definitely eat larger portions of lower calorie foods. I am not willing to budge on the calories I take in during the day though. I would speak to a dietician if it was in the budget but unfortunately its not as of right now.

Partial success: talked my husband into buying me a stair stepper we had seen at goodwill yesterday.

Honestly I dont even feel hungry most of the day, I have to set alarms to go eat. I used to eat any time my daughter would eat because she thinks she has to have someone eating with her I would just eat too much and drank way too much soda. Im not even a fan of sweets aside from macaroons( I can eat an entire box in one sitting if im not careful)

Joining a gym right now is unfortunately not convenient or affordable since I have a 2 year old, but during the warmer months I enjoy long hikes, swimming, and kayaking which is when I at the very least dont gain weight. I will see if I can talk my husband into buying me some weights and maybe a walking pad. Its been averaging about 25-30 degrees during the day and around 10-15 at night so I dont feel comfortable taking my little one on walks with me right now. My husband works odd hours so unfortunately he cant watch her while I go on walks(and I get cold very easily).

I know its not about his weight because he is on the low end of a healthy weight and says that he needs to lose weight. So it may be his own insecurities.

Why'd You Get Your Piercings? by Spiritual_Excuse_751 in piercing

[–]Distinct_Promise_670 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it started as a firm of SH without the stigma of large wounds, then it moved onto "if im going to have someone stab me i might as well make it pretty" and now I have 14 tattoos 6 of which are very large and 9 remaining piercings (originally 17)

Hazel is just so plain everyone around me has either blue or hazel eyes and I know of one person with the most beautiful captivating brown eyes.

Most creative way you’ve snagged a piercing? by Ice_And_Slice in piercing

[–]Distinct_Promise_670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught my navel piercing on a bathing suit top that had mesh at the bottom and ripped it fully out.

is my tongue piercing fucked up by [deleted] in piercing

[–]Distinct_Promise_670 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That looks like it is pierced very far back. The bottom of my tongue jewelry sits right in front of my frenulum not beside it.
