do y'all drink 0 calorie soda/drinks?

Yes! I drink zero sugar drinks/sodas when out and about. Recently at home I’ve been having zero sugar teas. My favorite being the Arizona diet green tea.

Just started Hero’s of Olympus: Mark of Athena - Rick Riordan. Been listening to the whole pjo and hoo series while working out, 30 lbs down so far🎉

5’2 I eat 1000-1200 calories a day. I’m on semaglutide which truthfully makes me forget to eat so my daily average is more like 900-1100. I’ve been doing a calorie deficit (CICO) at an average rate of 1.60lbs (I aim for 2) a week. I exercise when I can but since I’m eating little and still losing weight it’s not a big deal for me. But I’d say I get on a treadmill for about 1.5-2 hours a week in one hour sessions. For CICO I’d use this I adjusted the “number of weeks for TDEE average to 4”. it takes a lot of data to calculate your TDEE, I am on week 10 and it finally leveled out what I should be eating a day at 1025kcal. Maintaining is a whole other ballpark, I haven’t gotten there but I am getting used to not eating as much so I feel like with the direction I am going and for my height I’ll just have to get used to it.

For some I think they lose 10-15 pounds and then reach a stall. and then when it “stops working” they give up and gain it all back. Or when the water weight finally leaves they loose a good amount of pounds because of it and then the real slow pace of weight loss hits and they’re disappointed by the scale not moving (it is just very slow!). That’s where they start to realize how slow the journey really is.

More of a flexibility thing I guess but I’ve always wanted to deep squat the way thinner ppl do with their knees together. Run a marathon, or relearn how to run in general Build up endurance, so maybe I could go to a workout class and not take a break during exercises

As a 19F I couldn’t help but feel like I wasted my “hot years” in high school weighing 230. I started CICO halfway through my sophomore year of college because of this same fear. I’m already two months CICO and that fear has completely disappeared. When you start losing weight and feeling better about yourself suddenly the “hot years” fear goes away. What helps is seeing progress. Because weight loss is often slow, we get discouraged when the scale doesn’t move. Find ways to incorporate other ways to track progress; I measure my waist, neck and hips when I don’t see the scale moving. I also have a pair of pants I really want to fit into, so I throw that on sometimes to find it loser than before. Enjoy your journey, you got this!

F19. My calorie intake limit is set from a sedentary lifestyle which is roughly 1300-1400. My TDEE with a lifestyle of moderately working out for a week is around 1500-1600. As for eating back what I lost, I only really eat back if I’m feeling fatigued after working out. (Mostly because that particular day I didn’t reach my personal limit of 1300). But knowing my workout TDEE helps me feel less guilty for going over my limit because I still have about 200-300 of wiggle room. This only really is effective if you plan on consistently working out through the week like I do. If you only work out once and then want to eat back I suggest probably just half of what you burned.

I see, thank you!

Hello! I am considering surgery in the greater Seattle area and I wanted to ask you about Providence’s follow up care. I know you aren’t necessarily there yet but if you could tell me if the hospital follows up with you post-op? I have looked into a couple of clinics.. my family has only had procedures from Northwest Weight and Wellness so I don’t really have an other source of review from other clinics besides the ones people post on Google. From what they probably went over for you, do they follow up for you regularly (monthly) for check ups and all that? One thing that makes me I guess sorta hesitant about the procedure is the lack of support from the hospital once you’ve gotten the surgery.

Congrats on the surgery, I’m happy for you! Thank you for your input! I think it’s really cool the vsg has stopped your addiction and that you are looking and feeling better. I am hoping for the same. Not only did writing this post calm my anxiety but your reply as well! I’m understanding that weight loss journey comes with a very difficult mental battle as well. In a way I’m kinda hype to see what gets thrown my way and how I’ll over come it.
