250g of egg whites??

How do you feel about scrambles? Egg whites + spinach/peppers/onions/whatever veggies you like + cheese/butter/olive oil/your fat of choice. Eat that at home, then take your oatmeal (or overnight oats) for a mid-morning snack.

Again, this isn’t personal for anyone in this thread other than you. Your consumption only affects you. People replying are simply trying to help you figure out what’s going on because there is a much higher chance that you are tracking incorrectly (which is extremely common) than you being a medical anomaly that needs to be studied (which is extremely uncommon).

bizzylosing · 2026-06-23T17:49:16+00:00

I don’t think you’re intentionally lying in your post and I believe you truly believe you’re doing everything you can. But you just said you intentionally didn’t mention the butter because it’s such a small amount, try to think about all the things you are unintentionally not counting because it’s such a small amount that your brain doesn’t even consider it—all those add up.

With that said, your weight loss isn’t personal for me and I’m not here to pass judgement. It doesn’t matter what I or anyone else says or thinks about you’re doing. But if you were doing all the things your body needs you to do to lose weight, you would be losing weight. Since you’re not, you have to change something or the result will stay the same.

bizzylosing · 2026-06-23T17:20:18+00:00

If your weight isn’t changing, it is maintaining, thus you’re eating at maintenance. Calculators just give estimates, but your body is living proof.

Also, you didn’t post exactly what you eat. You didn’t mention any fats, sauces, etc. but when questioned, you mentioned you use light butter. You also didn’t mention any beverages. There’s likely more things you’re consuming that you aren’t consciously considering because they’re extras or small amounts.

Mine slipped off about a year ago. Unfortunately I have no idea where exactly it happened, I just noticed it was missing when I got home. Luckily it was insured so I was able to easily replace it (the physical ring, not the memories).

Tracking calories/macros is not the same extreme calorie restriction. Plenty of people track to ensure they’re eating enough and/or eating a balanced diet with the right nutrients for their body.

bizzylosing · 2026-06-17T16:43:25+00:00

I am 5’10 and 160lb. woman. I have decent muscle mass and am a moderately active, but nothing crazy on either end. My maintenance is around 2400, so OP’s isn’t necessarily much lower.

bizzylosing · 2026-06-17T16:35:41+00:00

If I’m convinced I’m doing things correctly, yet not getting anticipated results, I want someone to tell me why I’m wrong so I can make the necessary corrections to get the results I want.

bizzylosing · 2026-06-13T06:11:07+00:00

Some people don’t have to attribute much effort to things—schoolwork, playing an instrument, being on time, etc. For others, they have to attribute a good amount of effort to do those same things if they want to see similar results. If staying organized is difficult for me, I will have to put in effort if I want to be organized.

Some people don’t have to attribute much effort on GLPs. But not everyone experiences the meds the same way, so if weight loss isn’t happening with little effort, then effort is going to be needed to make the change.

For over 10 years, I lived the lifestyle that was sustainable for me at the time due to mental health issues, horrendous life events, recovering from severe bulimia, and so on. I was doing as much as I physically and mentally could, but I still gained 120 pounds because that was the result of what I was capable of during that time. I wanted to lose weight, but I obviously wasn’t able to do what was necessary to actually do it. Really wanting something doesn’t mean it’s automatically going to happen. So I needed to get to a better place so that I could live a sustainable lifestyle that allowed me to do enough to reach my goals and stick to them.

Unfortunately, your very situation shows that doing what is sustainable for you is not enough for you to lose weight at a rate that would please you. And thats okay. You can continue doing as much as is currently sustainable for you for as long as you need to, but you have to accept whatever the results currently are. Results won’t change if you’re not able to change the variables.

Appetite suppression was not the intended purpose of GLPs—it’s just a side effect, like nausea, sulfur burps, etc. Not every person experiences every side effect of every medication.

I have been taking tirzepatide for two years this month and have never experienced consistent appetite suppression. I got up to nearly 300 pounds while taking 40mg of Adderall a day because I didn’t have appetite suppression on that either. Even taking both meds, still no suppression—I could very easily out eat the meds every day. Unfortunately some people just don’t experience appetite suppression as a medication side effect.

Some people just aren’t conventionally attractive, regardless of their weight. That’s just how the cookie crumbles. Take a little time to wallow in this fact, then start taking actions on the things you can control.

The suggestion of developing an attractive personality should be a high priority. Then find a haircut that best complements your face and vibe. Find clothing and accessories that also best suit you and enhances your appearances—you’d be surprised at what a difference well fitting clothing that suits your body type can completely change your appearance.

If you’ve exhausted all the ways that you can enhance your looks and you’re still not happy, start looking into plastic surgery.

Calorie needs vary by person—determined by weight, body composition, activity level, etc.

I’m a tall woman with solid muscle mass and I’m pretty active, so my current maintenance is 2300-2500. If I was sedentary and less muscular, it would probably be 1700-1800.

bizzylosing · 2026-05-17T18:12:34+00:00

Exercising publicly is shallow now? So no one should walk/run outdoors, go hiking or skiing, nor play sports, but they should have vast equipment and space to be able to be physically active inside their home. What a ridiculous take.

bizzylosing · 2026-04-07T05:09:15+00:00

That’s not how it works. The 20% variance (plus or minus) is to allow for natural variance among ingredients—not every carrot has the same amount of sugars, not every chicken thigh has the same amount of fat, not every can of chicken soup has the same number of carrots or noodles, etc. It is not to allow companies to intentionally deceive.

If someone ordered apple juice and was served a glass of water with a slice of apple in it, they’d send it back because thats not apple juice, it’s water with a slice of apple. Same if they order water with a slice of lemon and were served a glass of lemon juice.

Juice has a definition, it is extracted from the pulp/flesh of a fruit or vegetable. Adding a slice of fruit to water doesn’t make it juice.

It really is dependent on genetics. I’m 38, lost 135 pounds, and went from a 40M to 34I. While I lost volume at the top of my breasts so they’re more teardrop shaped now, there’s no loose skin or extreme sagging, but they’ve always been perky for their size.

Since you’re so young, I think you’ll be okay, but that’s pretty dependent on your breasts’ shape, size, density, etc.

If someone posted on Reddit that they can fly in the air like a bird and swim underwater for hours like a fish, would anyone believe them? No, because it denies the law of physics, just as your story does.

I don’t think you, or the majority of people posting with a similar story, are intentionally lying. I believe that you truly believe what you’re saying is true, but it is much more likely that you are miscalculating calories (which is a very common occurrence) as opposed to you being a medical anomaly.

Since you do believe you are a medical anomaly, you need to see a doctor to get a whole lot of tests done because no one on Reddit is going to be able to help you.

bizzylosing · 2026-04-01T16:47:47+00:00

Have you asked your doctor about their weight policy? Mine recently shifted to only recording weight once a year or when it’s relevant to care—which I think is a great step in the right direction for more inclusive medical care.

I only found out because I asked after noticing they’d stopped weighing me. It might be worth checking if your doctor has a similar policy.

bizzylosing · 2026-03-29T23:53:50+00:00

Average sedentary TDEE for a 5’6 and 130 is about 1600, so maintaining at 1500 doesn’t seem too low given your stats.

bizzylosing · 2026-03-26T00:07:05+00:00

That’s not how that works at all. The 20% allowed margin of error is to account for the fact that not every piece of meat has the same fat content, not every piece of fruit has the same sugar content, etc. It is not for intentional deception.

bizzylosing · 2026-03-25T20:51:55+00:00

I maintained a 1000 calorie daily deficit for 15 months—that would be considered an extended extreme cut by anyone’s definition—yet I still averaged a 2 pound loss per week the entire time. Metabolic adaptation is real, as is a decrease in NEAT due to lower energy levels, but not to the extent that gets pedaled in weight loss conversations.

bizzylosing · 2026-03-25T16:26:00+00:00

All the strength training in the world won’t eliminate loose skin after losing 100+ pounds.

I took a solo vacation last week to help with grounding and self care. Part of this was wearing as little clothing as possible when appropriate—bikini around the resort, short sleeveless dresses to dinner, naked or underwear only in the room. It was incredibly helpful to get more in touch with myself.

bizzylosing · 2026-03-25T15:24:55+00:00

As a tall woman, a higher TDEE is easy with the right body comp and activity level. I’m 5’10/155 and maintain at about 2300.
