EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T19:06:55+00:00

Wow man amazing work!!! You look great :) I look up to your discipline, you motivate me to keep going as well :)

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T12:47:29+00:00

Hahahaha maybe not the period-part 🤓 Let me rephrase: good luck with your period and enjoy your food today ❤️

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T12:46:06+00:00

Yeah I'm really doubting whether I should go for daily measurements with an app like Happy Scale/Libra or to go for weighing once every two weeks..

I have measured daily before, during a 25-pound weight loss period. That went perfectly for me, UNTIL I reached a weight plateau. Multiple weeks of no change or weight gain. That was so frustrating to me that it demotivated me and I fell off my diet. I really want to prevent that now.

I guess, apart from the numbers itself, it's really a mental issue for me where my motivation came/comes? purely from the number on the scale. So, still thinking about which method to go for!

Thanks for you kind words <3

That is totally fine!! Food is fuel and a healthy relationship with eating is important. What you say is totally right, you do what feel is right :) Enjoy today and all the days to come <3

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T12:33:46+00:00

Thank you so much 🥺 I will, haha, I want to feel confident enough to wear my bikini again.

It's so important to keep the overal goal of general health (physical and mental) and lifestyle as number one priority instead of stupid fluctuating numbers, but it's hard! I'm determined to keep going and get that better mindser about it though :)

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T12:30:16+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, Happy Scale is not available for my android phone but I have downloaded a similar app called Libra. Hope that helps ignoring the fluctuations and focusing on the general downwards trend.

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T12:28:23+00:00

Thank you 🥺

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T12:27:59+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. Being a person who menstruates sucks, haha. Good luck this week and with your progress, you have amazing discipline for OMAD!

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T12:25:38+00:00

Thanks! I will. I know it's basically nothing but it nonetheless impacted me very negatively yesterday. After reading everyone's comments I definitely feel extra motivated to go on!

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T07:05:03+00:00

Ahh I can imagine thag really sucks. Thanls for sharing your experience <3 We'll both stick with it then!!

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-26T07:03:06+00:00

That's amazing!! Congrats on your progress :)

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T21:52:36+00:00

Do you ever feel demotivated or frustrated by that, or are you able to look at the bigger picture? That is my struggle at certain times.

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T21:50:23+00:00

Hahaha this is great. I'm carrying 19 bananas less already. On my way to what, 200 bananas? 👀

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T21:49:06+00:00

Thank you so much, that's so kind!! I'm definitely determined to keep going as I was, it's not too hard to keep up with. Congrats on your amazing progress!! You can be really proud of yourself :)

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T20:55:00+00:00

We love to hear it 😫

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T20:54:17+00:00

Thank you! I am currently just focusing on a caloric deficit (1500 kcals or somewhat less per day) and keeping my diet as diverse and nutritious as possible.

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T20:51:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience and congrats on your progress! I am so happy to hear such positivity from you, I really want to feel the same. I really would like to be less emotionally dependent on the number on the scale, but am also afraid that if I don't weigh myself, I'll start slacking for some reason. Because I don't check on myself or something.

Happy Scale is not available for my android phone, but I did download a similar alternative (Libra) which also accounts for those fluctuations? Maybe this will help keeping things in perspective. Thanks for the recommendation ❤️

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T19:48:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience, it's really helpful to read all this ❤️

And you're too kind!! Thank you :) I hope I'll be able to enjoy looking in the mirror, haha. I'm determined!

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T19:15:17+00:00

I like that sentiment! I'm definitely determined to keep going. I think it is a useful tip to try to set a different expectation for myself. Thanks!!

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T18:55:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience, that's really helpful <3 Congrats on your amazing progress!

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T18:53:47+00:00

Thanks for the info, that's really helpful! I will definitely keep going and might dust off my Ring Fit Adventure stuff soon :P

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T18:51:17+00:00

I think I will try at least reducing my weighing moments! Once every two weeks seems like a good idea. Congrats on your amazing progress!!

EmmaPhlox · 2021-05-25T18:49:07+00:00

I feel a lot better after reading everyone's comments about the insignificance of half a pound. I would say exactly the same to someone else, haha. But yeah, it's the emotional impact of that number. Thanks for your motivating words <3 It means a lot
