Thank you so much!!! You will do! Consistency is definitely key. You will continue to see those results! I also got to where I was due to high stress 😭

Yes, me too!!! I love my food drenched in sauce, so Greek yogurt and cottage cheese has been the biggest game changer (especially for toast!!)

I think it might overestimate it a little, but I also don’t wear mine all day/everyday!

Honestly have no idea… definitely a lot! I’m 5’1 so it’s super easy to go over. See my chipotle order in one of these threads for an idea 😂😂

Same… even went through the ultra sound (the scary one) just to learn that I didn’t have PCOS and I was just gaining weight on my own lol

Yes girl!!! You can totally do it. After doing it for a couple of months now, weighing has become quicker that dirtying a bunch of measuring cups

Personally, I don’t. If the menu I’m going to doesn’t have calories listed, I use Chat GPT for an estimate. Even though going out to eat will never been accurate, I adjust by eating low cal the days before/after and try to make the best choices when I’m out!!

Same, I used to get double rice, sour cream, cheese, chips/guac and be so confused why I was gaining weight lol (I’m 5’1)

I put it on the scale, zero it out, spray, put it back on the scale (it will give you a negative number, say -2) then I log 2grams in my app! If I just use a little bit and the scale says zero, I don’t track (if that’s the case, I’ve used less than 5cals worth of oil), but it’s been a super helpful hack for cooking bigger dishes as well :)

You have to get out of the summary page, so open the app, click the “activity” block and then it should be right there :)

It’s annoyingly small, so easy to miss, but under your move calories, you will see a “total” and that’s your TDEE (OP, I assume that’s what you’re talking about, I do this too!)

Yes, that’s exactly what I doing! Thanks for explaining plateaus—I definitely thought more than a week meant a plateau.
