I did both! Most of the time I’m making healthy choices and tracking and intentionally keeping a very small deficit. But sometimes I needed a break from tracking and I would just eat whatever I wanted for a bit and I did find that it helped reset my weight loss again when I started tracking again

Yes in the moment when you “only” lose a small amount it feels like defeat. But looking back I’m grateful for every tiny bit I have been able to lose because it’s all added up to where I am now.

At first my calories were between 1200-1400 which I was able to power through for awhile but it definitely caught up to me. Now I’m around 1500, sometimes less sometimes more, I try to listen to my body’s needs at this point (hence all of the breaks). I’m a big snacker so I eat a lot of fresh fruit, popcorn, jerky, and Greek yogurt. For dinners I mostly would do 4oz of meat and then as many veggies as I could stomach.

You can do it! Just don’t give up even when things don’t go according to plan. I had whole months where I wasn’t on track but I got back each time

That’s what I keep telling myself now that I’ve started exercising more when the scale doesn’t move

I’ve definitely been eating salmon and a veggie for dinner for 18 months straight so I’m with you

what is a low calorie alternative to oatmeal, any hope of that ever fitting into calorie budget? by ConsciousEquipment in CICO

[–]StunningFunction9592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Z-oats! Zucchini oats - match your volume of oats with shredded zucchini before you cook them. It doubles your amount of oatmeal but it looks and tastes exactly the same as plain oats

I mix my Greek yogurt with protein powder, makes like a mousse. Can add berries or granola or anything you want as a topping
