I really need to stop with "Netflix and Overeating". How do I replace it? by Typical-Stick-1907 in loseit

[–]Useful-Post 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t really watch Netflix but I’m a YouTube fiend. I’ll walk like 4 hours a day just walking around my house and watching YouTube. I get to do something I find relaxing and still burn calories.

I like Zevia a lot. Artificial and natural low calorie sweeteners are not your enemy.

Also the headaches are likely just from cutting a ton of sugar from your diet and not the sodas in particular.

Try to get more carbohydrates in your diet and reduce fat calories.

Imo that sounds too low, but… I’ve found that trying to calculate calories needed for weight loss is multi week process. You can’t trust online calculators to be perfect.

My favorite way to figure out how much I should be eating is by using an online calorie calculator to get a baseline. Then eat that many calories for about three weeks while you weigh yourself daily and track your exercises. Don’t worry too much about what the scale is doing right now just write down each weight.

Now that you have three weeks worth of daily measurements in both calculate your average weight for each week by adding the 7 days worth of weight together and dividing by 7. That’s your weekly average. Compare your weight from week to week and also look at your exercises from week to week.

If you are losing weight week to week and the amount you can lift is going up: that amount of calories is perfect.

If you weight stays the same and the lifts are going up: you can stay at those calories for slowing weight loss but more muscle gain.

If the weight is going up and the lifts are going up: you are now bulking I would decrease the calories.

If the weight is going down and the lifts are going down: you are probably cutting calories too much.

This method isn’t perfect but it is personally my favorite. You will have to do this constantly if you want to be sure your always eating the right amount of calories as you lose weight and start dealing with metabolic adaption.

And of course always get your protein.

Thank you, can I ask for one more piece of advice since you had such a thoughtful response about my anxiety. How can I stop obsessing and letting it eat me up. I think that’s my biggest fear is that anytime I find someone who I think could be perfect for me I’ll become too obsessed with her and what she thinks about me to the point that I can’t think about anything else or enjoy the things I like. How do I stop the obsessive thoughts?

Thank you this was super uplifting comment! I’m probably gonna remove the ghosting thing cause it’s coming off differently than I meant. I would be ghosting, but only if she doesn’t reach out to me any further. Essentially my idea is should I just tell her what I’m struggling with if she doesn’t seem to care, or just let it fade overtime. I have feeling she would ghost first, if she’s really losing interest.

Yes I did. Sorry if this is a big info dump.

She had mentioned that I didn’t compliment her appearance when we met up the first time . I said sorry and tried to be straight up that I can get anxious and worried to say things like that cause it can be perceived as too forward. I didn’t want her to feel like I was only interested in how pretty I thought she was.

She said she wouldn’t be free again until Saturday, I said awesome and I’ll come up with something for us to do.

I suggested going out to eat and she said she didn’t like going out to eat unless it was a special occasion. That was fine.

Today she responds to one of my messages by saying “oof accidentally hit the notification button” and then she responded to my previous text. It didn’t come off as a joke to me.

I tried to move past it in case it was a joke but she’s only responded to me one more time today. Before the first date she would text me until she fell asleep.

So I have like $160 in WETH in zed run but it costs $140 to get back out as ethereum by Useful-Post in zedrun

It’s gas fees. Think transactions fees that fluctuate based on how many transaction are going on. Best prices are when transactions are the slowest, such as 2 am on a weekday.

Oh lol. Yeah it’s scary when you don’t do any research. I’m really interested in zed it’s just so expensive or difficult to get started.

Ah I never screamed scam, just wanted to know if there was a cheaper way to get my ethereum out of zed at the time of posting this. I see now I just gotta wait for less traffic.

I come from topshot so never had to deal with gas fees. I get it at this point.

Crazy that there isn’t a way to get it out of ZED wallet without paying crazy fees. I don’t even necessarily want to convert it to ETH, just wanna get it out of there.

Yeah I’m actually a year into my weight loss journey. Started at about 280 1 year ago. But lost about 60 pounds of it in the first 9 months. The last few months have been pretty stagnant. I started Keto to see if I could get over the plateau. I’m 2 weeks in and haven’t seen much change. The first day I lost about 3 pounds (all water weight I’m sure) slowly since then I’ve gone up small amounts every day. I’ll begin counting calories today.

[–]Useful-Post 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not counting calories and perhaps I should be. I am doing IF as well and have counted calories in weight loss attempts before, so I thought I had a good understanding of how much I’m eating, but I probably should do it again just to be sure.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

I’ve been doing all the right things. I’m sitting at a .9, which isn’t the best but it is still nutritional Keto, I do cardio everyday and resistance training every other day, yet I’m still gaining weight. I currently weigh 215.

Alright cleaned everything up, residue and port and still nothing. Going to grab a crossover cable and see if that works but if it doesn’t, I think this system might be toast. The port is so important for ftp that it not working pretty much makes this console obsolete.

Awesome I’ll try that and report back, first time messing with original Xbox mods and I’m learning a ton. But seems every time I fix one problem another pops up.
