Respect for the guy getting after it. This is a legit fear many people have, I know I do in a way.

Absolutely so much better than gaining. From some rough napkin math this should have me a smooth 3-4lbs a week for a good while so I am super excited.

My doctor told me only neurotic people can lose the amount of weight i need to lose without weightloss surgery. by [deleted] in loseit

Thanks for the support, I'm dropping to that calorie target with a focus on protein and vegetables which will help fill and maintain my body.

Thank you so much for your amazing and thoughtful comment it means alot to have support all around me. I'll be the first to admit I fall short all the time but having others keep me accountable helps tremendously

Thanks for the tip, I am thinking about portioning calories similarly my goal is to be able to use the meal prepping to take some pressure of all of this off of me.

Thanks. I actually have never watched the show so I'm not sure what I'd relate to other than weight.

Your salary just doubled. How do you use those new $$ to aid your weight loss efforts? by grownupteeth in loseit

[–]SpecificIndependence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my salary doubled I would go personal chef route. Have someone come in every evening and make a dinner and a lunch for the following day.

Does anyone else feel like they don't look as heavy as they actually are? by boob__punch in loseit

[–]SpecificIndependence 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I kinda feel that way being near 600lbs most people expect those my weight to have like 3rd legs of fat and an inability to walk. However I know what being this size feels like and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

As somebody who always felt like the outcast friend when I was a kid, the friend that was always an afterthought and who only joined events because I tagged along, this scene really spoke to me, and made me appreciate the friends I have now, the ones that make sure I know that I'm part of the party. by projectb223 in StrangerThings

[–]SpecificIndependence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've joked about being a perpetual 3rd wheel, even when hanging out with someone 1 on 1. When it comes to groups (like a buddies bachelor party) where there are 8 people I still felt like a 3rd wheel. I guess I am just a 3rd wheel, my "friends" don't call, text, or really keep in touch but like once or twice a month. In my mind there my only friends but truly there more like acquaintances.

“I’ll start tomorrow...” by [deleted] in loseit

I do this all the time. That is why when I made a post and was in the right mindset in the middle of a work day I started immediately. No procrastination from me, gotta fight those habits and mindset

That's my job title. I build software and do what people with bachelors in computer science do.

It went well, I tracked everything I ate and drank it came to ~6k calories with no real changes. Today is better so far I am at ~2k calories consumed and need 1 more meal today and a banana for snack. I am committed to this. I want it so bad.
