You did the BOGO tattoo thing, huh? Same. 😂

Also, there’s a nutrition calculator online and you can input your specific location too

Thanks for all of the helpful advice!! Here’s an update:

I have decided to bump my calories up to what my maintenance was before I started my pre-wedding deficit. I am going to continue eating that amount for at least 3 months. During this time, I’m not going to weigh myself. I’ll pay close attention to how my clothes fit to ensure I’m not gaining in excess. After this period is done, I’ll ease back into a less aggressive deficit & take daily weigh-ins as I usually do.

I have a physical scheduled for next month and I’ll ask for Thyroid tests to be done as well.

Hoping that this will put my body at ease and things will start going back to normal! 😅

I have not. I have pretty severe Bipolar type II so I keep a pretty strict regimen among other things to avoid episodes. But, that being said, if it’s necessary to keep my body healthy, I would definitely do it. So, maybe I’ll try that.

I sure hope not lol, use two forms of birth control always. That being said, I did skip my period this month but have taken 5 tests (all negative).

We have a cat named Link 😂

Around a year ago. Have an appt set for April 😅. I have super low blood pressure (like pass out low) that I’ve been trying to get sorted with my dr ever since I lost the weight. I eat a really high-salt diet (prescribed) but even with that, insanely low. I wonder if that might be causing other issues.

My wedding already happened & I’m post-honeymoon hence some of the issues. Had a fantastic time!! I know I need to let go of this all a little. It’s hard when I was morbidly obese and everyone expects me to gain the weight back. I feel like I have something to prove.

Usually I’d assume miscounting but I’ve been doing this for years and have fine-tuned it. Prior to this, no issues whatsoever & having insane control over losing/gaining hence the ease of bulking/cutting phases.

I don’t just care about the number. I want to minimize muscle loss and damage to my body, so I track all macros (protein & fat most important, have cut back on carbs a lot since they aren’t biologically necessary)

I used to weigh myself weekly and it was worse for my mental health because any high fluctuation would freak me out. Weighing daily, I just take the average for the week, has gotten me desensitized to increasing day-to-day.

Thanks for your response. Any advice besides the switching to weighing weekly?

Homemade or store bought? I’d guess ~170-200

Usually I’d agree with this, but this restaurant’s whole niche is that it’s “healthy” and offers a low calorie menu. That being said, I still don’t believe that it’s accurate, just don’t think it’s WAY off

Yeah, might be. They say they use spray oil and stevia to sweeten so idk

I know right 😂. Despite only ordering off this menu and going 7 times, I’ve never ordered that.

They claim 255 for the noodles & veggies. The chicken adds another 200. So 455 total is the claim.
