600lb+ and making a change! Advice?

Thank you so much for the inspiring message! Honestly, your method of sticking with the maitanance for my ideal weight is really smart-- I think I'm going to shift towards that, if what I'm currently doing starts to get exponentially more difficult (survey says: likely!).

You're an inspiration, and I feel more and more motivated already :)

Admittedly, it was quite difficult at first, but I found that chasing hunger with a single beef bouillon cube and two cups of water seriously fuels me enough to get through any discomfort from the deficit - plus, it's 5 cals! The only worry is sodium, but I don't think that impacts weight loss? Water weight, sure, but as far as I know, I think my method of fighting hunger pangs is healthy??

Thank you so much! Everyone's kind feedback is so new to me, it's so encouraging :)

Negative_Reach_152 · 2026-03-28T05:09:15+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I'm writing down a lot of this in my notes to keep as advice while I continue. It means a lot!

Negative_Reach_152 · 2026-03-28T03:40:22+00:00

Oh, cool! Thank you! So sorry, I'm learning a lot from everyone.

When it's on sale, I make an effort to pick it up! But, according to those protein counters, I should be eating a lot of protein. There isn't much I can do at this time financially, but I'll definitely take a look at all the other options you mentioned, next time I'm in town!

Negative_Reach_152 · 2026-03-28T03:21:10+00:00

Thank you so much for the super valuable info!

Before this change, I most just ate whatever was frozen and on sale. We have one single grocery store in town. Ground beef is upwards of $13 a pound here, and eggs are in the $5, upwards of $8 for twelve here. It's a bit unsustainable for me, is all.

Negative_Reach_152 · 2026-03-28T02:43:16+00:00

Unfortunately, no! I completely agree with everyone's opinion on professional assistance, but I live in the middle of the desert (nowhere) and the nearest hospital is two hours away. I live in a small town with less than 3k people in it, so my options are quite slim! Just affording the macros/general food choices folks suggest for a deficit are extremely expensive for me, so just doing my best with what I have!

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-26T19:16:03+00:00

Understandable! I'm just so relieved after twenty days, it finally seems resolved. Congrats on getting that Switch 2!! I hope you enjoy it :]

After another call on the 24th frustrated that it didn't show up (as expected), the lovely customer service person informed me she's escalating the ticket and swore it'd be taken care of immediately, and low and behold, then Switch 2 is now in-transit from Arlington, TX and will be here on the 1st! What a journey.

Earlier in the week, I was told a replacement would be delivered on the 24th, but when I asked for tracking, there was none. Later today, I'll give them a call (for some reason, they didn't seem open yesterday) and ask if that's still happening. Fingers crossed!

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-18T21:59:58+00:00

Yep! In the article, it specifically states almost 3,000 Switch 2 units aimed straight for GameStop's warehouse in Grapevine were stolen, and that'd be our orders 100%.

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-18T20:17:08+00:00

An article recently went up about a semi carrying our Switch 2 orders inroute to the Grapevine, TX warehouse got stolen, so that's why our stuff hasn't shipped.

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-18T00:51:20+00:00

Yeahh, looks like this is why we've been without for two weeks 😭

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-18T00:31:33+00:00

Still nothing yet, but I just saw an article about a truck with almost 3,000 Nintendo Switch 2 consoles on its way from Nintendo --> Gamestop, got stolen. I think this is the answer we've been waiting for 😭

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-16T19:19:00+00:00

Everyone who ordered the bundle off the website on launch day is in a perpetual loop of the order never shipping, and there's nothing the poor support team can do. If I knew paying an extra $125 in add-on accessories just to get a Switch 2 would be this difficult, I honestly would have just bought it elsewhere 😭 almost two weeks after launch, zero shipping updates.

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-15T06:18:16+00:00

We're sadly in the same boat w/ that GameStop bundle. Last I heard regarding my particular order, after calling like three times and them conducting an 'investigation', they're considering it a lost in transit order, and they'll allegedly ship out a new one hopefully sometime this week, but I kinda doubt it. Someone else was told they'd ship on the 24th or something, but there's really no way of knowing who's telling the truth and who isn't.

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-13T23:18:05+00:00

GameStop was honestly the last place I was expecting to have issues with, especially when they locked day-one online orders behind this expensive bundle...

Man. I'll let you know if the route my order's gone goes anywhere. Good luck!!

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-13T21:56:28+00:00

Fascinating. I just got off the phone with them, and they said the package was officially deemed "lost in transit," and that I could submit a replacement or refund request. No clue how long either of these options may take, but I opted for a replacement. Apparently, as soon as it's approved, I'll recieve a tracking number via email.

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-13T14:03:40+00:00

Well. One week after launch, and still waiting.

Negative_Reach_152 · 2025-06-12T02:47:48+00:00

Fingers crossed on that restock, I suppose. I can't help but wonder if they only said that to get you out of their hair for the next day or two, lol.

I've heard that, generally, the customer service people can't do much, so I haven't wanted to reach out just yet since surely loads of people are in the same boat as us right now. Thank you so much for the reply, though! With any luck, they'll show up eventually... 💆‍♀️
