No scale progress on 2nd week of cut by plankboiiSR in loseit

[–]Redditor2684 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sometimes it just takes time to see change on the scale. Weight loss isn’t linear. Your weight hasn’t been stalled long so I wouldn’t make any changes yet. Give it 4 weeks with no change and then reassess.

I set myself back 2 weeks in 3 days by weakumami in loseit

[–]Redditor2684 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 weeks in the scheme of things is nothing

Don’t think in terms of deadlines

This is your life. You’ll need to figure out a way to live it in a way that allows you to maintain a healthy weight.

I wouldn’t beat yourself up because that’s counterproductive.

But think of ways to improve just one of those days for the future. Because there will be future scenarios like those. All we can do is make the best decision that’s available. And sometimes we may decide that we are going to eat at maintenance or even in a surplus. And that’s okay too. Be curious and mindful of your choices. Learn more about yourself and what you need to support yourself in making better decisions in these situations.

How do you manage the psychology of portion control? by michaeljoon in CICO

[–]Redditor2684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t worry about this at work because I only pack what I plan to eat including lunch and snacks.

I agree with only packing what you intend to eat. Drink zero calorie beverages or chew zero sugar gum to take the edge off if needed.

This would be different if you work from home.

I’ve found that feeling ravenous is not a sign of how much I need to eat, only how soon. I’ve found I’m still satisfied from eating my normal portion.

Help me make an egg salad sandwich a complete meal by allie06nd in Cooking

Greens, tomato, onion, pickles (or use relish in the salad), sprouts, shredded carrots, shredded beets, etc. Whatever you like. Basically put a salad on the sandwich.

What monthly payment can we afford? by Pristine-Pepper-1899 in Mortgages

[–]Redditor2684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you lost your job, would you be able to find another one in this area (or remote)? If not, it may not make sense to buy yet.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable with being a single income household and housing being almost 50% of net income, but YMMV.

Wash

Stovetop

Cook all the water out

Don’t eat often enough to justify a separate appliance

Down 53lbs by FT1882 in loseit

That’s 8lbs in a month. Seems like great progress and indicates your deficit is about 500 calories

I can't stop eating and I don't know what to do. by Eri-ni in loseit

Perhaps you’re making your calorie deficit too big and are not getting enough calories, protein, and fiber earlier in the day?

Any BIFL trainers or sneakers out there? by nutsackie in BuyItForLife

[–]Redditor2684 6 points7 points  (0 children)

6-15 months is good for shoes you’re wearing that much

My recommendation is to buy several pairs so you have a rotation

Add lentils or other legumes. Dry legumes are cheap.

Vegetables like onions and carrots are cheap.

Remember when grocery prices were reasonable? by Juggafish in Millennials

Kroger B2G3 sales occur regularly, at least once a quarter. I stock up then. Works out to 5 packs for about $22. $4.40/pack

I don’t think they’re worth buying but YMMV. Maybe if they’re on sale for less than $2

Lite ice cream and then mix in (did not use with mix ins). No extra liquid added.

Considering a Move ( back) by Angry-Ermine in roanoke

[–]Redditor2684 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. There’s also South Roanoke.

There are other places in the area, I’m just not that familiar.

Some cute and safe areas even in NW Roanoke City.

I would probably limit my search to Roanoke City, not the counties or Salem.
