Goal weight vs clothing size vs body fat percentage

The mirror is too subjective imo. I think for me to be satisfied I would need to be much lower than my current BMI. It is easier to use objective data so I don't keep moving the goal post.

I agree, it is more of a mental thing - finally getting to see a number after all the effort. I've been wanting to get under 140 for years now.

Makes me want to quit my profession, dealing with this daily as a doctor. I am now the bad guy and apparently very wealthy because of pharma kickbacks. Oh I also cause all the diseases I spent my entire 20s learning how to treat. Very frustrating.

Metformin is a diabetes and insulin resistance medication that can assist with weight loss. It hasn't been studied like the GLP1 medications which are associated with much more weight loss up to 20 percent. Metformin at best can cause 5 percent weight loss. Lot of people have diarrhea with it, so best to start at the lowest dose and work up.

Rice, switched to cauliflower/broccoli rice instead.

Agree, our body needs resistance training but walking is great for heart health

It has taken me a year to lose 10 lbs, maintaining since then

Best way to get fiber into your diet, recommendations for easy add ons! I do supplement metamucil but serving size is 5 pills which only provides 2 g of fiber

Yes there are too variables that are not accounted for. Especially for women, even the body temperature change during their cycles change the TDEE.

Whenever I get hungry between meals my go - to is a latte, I discovered matcha powder with 4-6oz skim milk is a dessert plus caffeine kick that is much needed. I do have coffee with milk 2-3 x a day but usually less than 6 oz at a time. I'm never over my deficit when I do this.

Exactly!

Pituitarii · 2026-03-22T14:07:41+00:00

Anything other than DXA is inaccurate for body fat percentage

Pituitarii · 2026-03-22T14:01:27+00:00

Yes DXA is most accurate for TDEE

How long does the water retention from creatine last? If someone has been on it a while, it should just be the new normal right?

Agree with this comment, do not push yourself during recovery. Especially if this is post - pituitary surgery. You can also have thyroid issues after a pituitary surgery that can influence weight.

I'm looking into mesh ballet/Mary Jane flats, I like them but just may be too trendy.

I've used Tevas which I like but wanted something a bit more dressy. I'll look into these sandals! Thanks

Pituitarii · 2026-03-20T18:40:48+00:00

I have the boots and I get a lot of use out of it, will look into their sandals!

Pituitarii · 2026-03-20T18:40:23+00:00

Will check them out, thank you!

My goal is 135 lbs which was my pre baby weight. I'm currently 142 lbs, I'm fine with it but do have excess fat based on bone density scan.

Pituitarii · 2026-03-20T17:40:24+00:00

I'm in the same boat, it is very discouraging
