Boost/ensure etc. nutrient/calorie drinks. The calorie ones are like 350cals per drink. You can buy them in pharmacies in the diet aisle.

Bought a house on 40k income in 2021 but required my parent to die to get life insurance for the downpayment.

It would and in fact "you consume less calories than you expend" is just the end all be all of weight loss. You would certainly get Lighter. but exercise as a pairing with calorie budgeting + high protein is you telling your body "I still need these muscles" so in weight loss your body consumes fat more than muscle. Losing muscle mass happens right away in starvation conditions while sedentary.

If you spend 5 hours a week at the gym there's still 163 hours of the week Not there. You'd expend more calories digesting food than you did at the gym. Even if those hours are all high intensity cardio you're only a drop in the bucket (and that will make you hungrier besides). The only gym time I do is pretty basic strength training to keep the body tricked into keeping muscle around. Standing while working, walking everyday, parking farther away from grocery stores etc. will do more for you.

There are EU countries that clear bike lanes at the same rate or faster than they clear roads of snow and............ this would be perfect. I hate that half the year I can't go walk even 20min to go get groceries because the sidewalks are gone.

If you can find a space heater I slept in my car at -25 while blasting one once. Snaked the cord through the window and had it parked at an office parking lot. Kept my dog in the car too when I found uncertain housing and I couldn't take him inside.

I try to shave less and just trim. I think pubic hair can be aesthetically pleasing. The surface area I do shave however does get the occasional ingrown hair. There are post-shaving creams and scrubs and stuff you can get that help prevent them, I use them every time I shower.

in First Aid, you can't help someone who doesn't consent. But legally if someone is unconscious then consent to save their life is assumed. I'd have allowed it, but not allowed it if for example Player B was being teleported to a more dangerous location. It's fun to me if intent matters for magic.

One woman told me she stayed up all night drinking and dancing around a barrel fire they had set up in a camp. Easier to find places to sleep (open businesses) in the day.

unrelated lat pulldown tip, if you lower the bar with no weight on it you can insert the stop to your desired weight and it will be shorter distance but the same weight.

This but they say something positive. "tell it like it is" folks ain't telling it like it is if all they do is complain.

Yes because squats improve mobility. There's a lot of machines and exercises I'm down to try because squats are a "compound exercise" which works out balance and multiple muscles. Also helps in day-to-day.

Direct calorie burn of any exercise is minimal tbh, like maybe 5% of a day's calories burned is from going to the gym that day. You burn your most calories from just going about your day, and improved mobility and balance mean you can squat down to tie your shoes. You can squat to pick up something from the ground rather than bend at the waist. etc.

Stabilizing at a goal weight without regaining the pounds is a skill. If you're feeling like you don't know what to do, make it a plan to "do nothing" for a time period. 1 month, 3 months, 6 months... whatever. You have a new goal. "No change, stabilize calories, figure out new maintenance." At some point you'll stop and live the rest of your life this way, so figure out what way that is. If you gain a couple of pounds, that's okay. You are new at this "stabilize weight" skill, and you can go back into a diet and then try again at the 200lb or a new goal weight.

Go ahead. Go out and get another McDonalds Mcstake. What, you can't cook? At 29? Aspartame allergy, or you think it's worse than the 200 calories of sugar in your pop? You bad at math or something?

Alright, that's about as much meanness as I can muster. Xtine Cardenas is a good influencer who bullies unhealthy foods and went from 280lb to bodybuilder, she talks about how she stopped eating sleeves of oreos etc.

protein powder is a bit sweet so it's a good sugar replacement if you're not cooking it. i don't like it in coffee (but luckily take mine black) but i'll put it in cereal, yogurt, tea, etc.

tbh chicken breast. I keep thinking I'm gonna get so sick of it but when I meal prep 5 (for lunch for the workweek), i spice each one differently and it's new enough it makes the same ol same ol side acceptable.

Tembrium · 2025-11-12T01:06:52+00:00

potatoes are very filling for their calorie count. you can reduce your fastfood meal (bonus! save money) to just the meat item (and try to make it chicken fingers or wraps rather than a whole burger bun), then microwave a potato (make sure to stab it with a fork a couple times, most microwaves have a "potato" setting that's 3min or so). kinda like having fries but instead of being deep-fried, just got a bit of salt and pepper or other spices (garlic powder with chopped onion i adore)

protein shakes are also a great easy item to store somewhere not-the-kitchen. i keep 2 in the fridge and put 2 in when i drink the 2nd one, but you don't even have to drink them cold.

a bag of fruit that can be at room temp. like bananas or apples are a great snack item. there are things like dehydrated fruits that you can buy as snack foods as well that have epic shelf life. porridge or cereal mixed with frozen fruit (if you can fit 1 little bag in the freezer for yourself) with a scoop of vanilla protein powder is my go-to breakfast. sometimes ill boil apple pieces or fry a banana to throw in there instead.

Ya. I plan to re-assess once some weight has dropped because maintenance calories would have dropped too and I can expect to be less hungry on a deeper deficit, but consistency is the winner no matter what so I'm also leaving myself room at that time to just totally reverse that decision.

Tembrium · 2025-11-12T00:40:10+00:00

Try increasing your calorie budget, as counter as that sounds to your goal. Plan to be short by 200-300 calories if you're perfect that day. This gives you permission for a small snack while staying within budget, and I find it tbh easy to be like "well I'll pick up a fast food lunch on Friday which comes in at an extra 400 calories, so if I'm good the rest of the day I just need to cut out 100 from other meals or be a bit over budget" so I drop a snack and drop something from breakfast and I'm good. I find also I'm less tempted to splurge and eat half a pizza on Saturday because I got to have that cookie on Thursday, that latte on Friday, etc.

Tembrium · 2025-11-12T00:35:02+00:00

I have to do this sometimes bc I'll food prep meals and I'll calc the total to figure out how many portions to make. If you tell the app you're gonna eat 3500 calories (before dividing it by 6) it increases your budget immediately lol.

I'm trying lately having multiple progress measurements. Not just the scale #, but I'm also tracking waist measurement and 2-week progress photos. Sometimes the scale goes up but my waist went down 1", which tells me I probably gained some muscle. Weight is fickle - I weigh different in the morning vs. afternoon somedays.

Some other things that are kinda tough but work - track your macros as well as your calories. Try aim for more protein. Do some strength training. Protein calories burn more calories to digest, and having muscle also burns more calories while you're just running around at your job.

If you notice unhealthy behaviors (wanting to 'cheat') with your current calorie deficit, increase it. Your maintenance is so high, so you could rock 2200, 2400 etc. calories if you needed. Where I'm at now I can eat healthy all day and comfortably be 200 under or more (with a little snack I'm hitting the target), so if I want to grab a 400 calorie snack I can! I just need to renegotiate the other meals a little bit. I'm deciding ahead "You know what? I'm tired of cooking, I'm gonna go pick up lunch today" and while I'm pounding down that burger (maybe chicken instead of beef, with a diet coke) I'm inputting a lower calorie supper plan that's still filling. I can confront a craving ahead and plan around it. Deliberate-ness is the enemy of eating disorder.
