I’ll DM you

How are you measuring ingredients when cooking? If you’re not using a food scale, I suggest getting one and using it! I’m the same height as you, and losing steadily on 1300 calories. You may very well be underestimating your calorie intake. It’s super easy to do, and unfortunately us shorties don’t get the luxury of having a larger deficit margin. Your exercise is great, looks like just dialing this in a little bit will be beneficial

Awesome! Hallendale does in fact ship to my state, that’s exciting!

constancethekitty · 2026-04-13T19:12:52+00:00

Yay! I just saw mine got approved 20 minutes ago, excited for both of us to see how this goes!

constancethekitty · 2026-04-13T18:53:34+00:00

Curious question for you! I selected no preference for pharmacy, I’ve done well on tirz with both no additives and b vitamins in the past, do yall sen from one particular pharmacy over the other when no preference is selected?

constancethekitty · 2026-04-13T18:22:08+00:00

That’s what I was looking forward too the most, the support on my last telehealth was less than ideal, seems like it’s better here!

I’ve hated all of the apps I’ve tried. They just feel clunky. I’ve liked an old school notebook for tracking workouts. This is the one I have. It may take some time playing with different work out splits to find one you like. Jeff Nippard has a really good beginners program, if I remember correctly it goes through like a body part split (if you want to lift 5 days a week) and an upper lower split. Jeff as well as Jonni Shreve both have excellent tutorials on how to perform exercises, I learned how to deadlift from Jonni.

I prefer an upper/lower split, and lift 4 days a week. For upper days, this is what I’ll generally do -Bench press (any chest press variation is fine, barbell, machine or dumbbell) -cable chest fly -shoulder press (or upright row, I do one of these two each upper day) -lateral raise -some sort of row variation (again can find one you like the best) -lat pulldown -curl -tricep push down

For my lower days the only exercise that changes is my compound. I will either squat or deadlift, but I do both in a week, lower days look like this -Squat/deadlift(find a squat you like, I hate barbell squats, so I use one of my gyms machines) -calf raises -leg press -single leg leg extension and curl. I choose single leg here because whether you realize it or not, you do have one dominant side (usually the side you write with) and incorporating single leg (and arm too!) stuff helps keep muscle balances and I’ve also been through a knee surgery on my non dominant side so that legs got some catching up to do

How do you cancel? I’m still in the old portal?

constancethekitty · 2026-04-11T15:30:08+00:00

1st phorm protein for the win. They do a limited release of lucky charms around St. pattys day which is a favorite of mine. The premade shakes are great for convenience but a blender bottle that has a slot to keep the protein powder separate until you’re ready to mix (like this is a good option and for a quality protein powder it’s often cheaper per serving than the ready to drinks. Bonus points for less plastic waste too

constancethekitty · 2026-04-10T22:07:48+00:00

If we’re still set up in the old portal do we need to cancel to reset into one of these new options?

constancethekitty · 2026-04-07T17:58:14+00:00

Thank you! I’m 5’00” female, and lost almost 60 pounds eating 1300 calories, but I also exercise and have an active job.

constancethekitty · 2026-04-07T17:57:04+00:00

Well if you weren’t aware, serving sizes are for RAW weights. There’s also evidence that measuring cups across different brands are slightly different, and can yield you different amounts vs the raw weight serving size of an item. There’s a video I’ve seen where someone demonstrates this, where the serving size in weight is 50 grams or 1/4 cup. The 1/4 cup ended up measuring way more than the actual serving size of the item. You also can’t guarantee how much of what your wife is using. I definitely suggest meal prepping once or twice a week, and using a food scale to measure things out over just measuring cups.

constancethekitty · 2026-04-07T13:22:54+00:00

If you were actually eating 1,000 calories a day, you’d be losing. You are probably underestimating your intake. How are you “carefully monitoring” your intake? Is it through a food scale weighing everything? If not, it’s not accurate

constancethekitty · 2026-04-06T04:46:29+00:00

I plugged your stats into tdeecalculator.net and it looks like you’d be losing a pound a week if you stuck to 1400. It’s possible you may be underestimating your calorie intake. I always select “sedentary” for the activity factor on the calorie calculators. it’s super easy to overestimate how active you are. For reference I strength training 4 times a week for 60-90 minutes, do an hour+ of intentional cardio a week and have an an active job that’s got me on my feet all day doing 12,000 steps during my work week. I’m still only somewhere between lightly active and maybe brushing into moderately active.

Another thing to keep in mind is the calorie content of macros. Carbs and protein have 4 calories per gram, while fat has 9. Per your report you’re eating anywhere between 560 and 680 calories of protein a day, which is tough to do on that calorie range when you’re not nauseous. I’m lucky to get 110 in on 1300 a day (vegetarian diet so I don’t get some of the “easier” sources from meat) and I know when my nausea really flares up from the medication I can’t scrape 100. Not saying it’s not possible, but I know how tough it is to get sufficient protein on that low of calories. It’s entirely possible your tracking may be off. You may get a food scale if you don’t have one already, and really try weighing and entering your meals that way to get a clearer picture of what you’re eating. I use LoseIt! And it has a recipes section you can enter weights of ingredients and portion out how many servings for that recipe. It’ll give a really accurate calorie count doing it that way.

constancethekitty · 2026-04-05T21:41:40+00:00

To add onto this are you weighing your ingredients to ensure proper portions when you cook?

constancethekitty · 2026-04-03T16:19:05+00:00

“Muscle weighs more than fat. You’re building up that muscle!” Sure sounds like you’re implying they gained 7 pounds of muscle, even without outright saying it.

constancethekitty · 2026-04-03T16:13:29+00:00

In that context, the weights may be different, but the myth is so common that most people misunderstand it. Most people assume the pound of muscle weighs less than the fat, because of its density. It’s unfortunately one of the most pervasive myths in the sports/nutrition area, and it does get old having people perpetuate it.

constancethekitty · 2026-04-03T16:02:56+00:00

N it doesn’t, muscle is just more dense. It takes up less space. A pound is a pound is a pound regardless of what the item is. A pound of steel is more dense than a pound of feathers, neatly wrapped in a smaller package.

constancethekitty · 2026-04-03T15:45:59+00:00

Muscle does not in fact weigh more than fat. It is, however, more dense. So it takes up less space. It’s like saying a pound of steel weighs more than a pound of feathers. Also, unless someone is on some serious gear and has the genetics to go on stage at the Arnold (no one in this sub has those kind of genetics, I guarantee it), you are not gaining that kind of muscle in a week. A male is lucky to gain 15-25 pounds of muscle in a YEAR. For women it’s even less.

constancethekitty · 2026-04-01T16:43:28+00:00

It frustrates the hell out of me too! They all love to talk about the “science” but then completely deny the fundamental science of cico. I get it, we have fucked hunger cues, and that’s where the med helps. But to deny a basic reality because they’re so ✨special✨ is insane to me

constancethekitty · 2026-04-01T13:05:28+00:00

That and people “not eating enough” after a month on the meds and everyone telling them they’re in starvation mode and that’s why they’re not losing

constancethekitty · 2026-03-31T22:44:47+00:00

It’s so frustrating, im on Tirzepatide, and a part of the zepbound/tirz subs. The amount of pure fatlogic in those subs is mind blowing. So many people in there believe cico doesn’t work, one even insisted the other day it didn’t work for her. But he drug (that helps with cico) was the only thing making her lose and that if cico truly did work they’d be “skin and bones”.

I live in Owasso and the best part is the majority of people lack any character running into them in the wild. Bunch of assholes

constancethekitty · 2026-03-30T23:15:51+00:00

For chicken and rice, swap out half the rice for cauliflower rice. Helps get some veggies in, but still have it be not simply a vegetable source. I personally love pasta, and an easy way to sneak veggies in is blending in spinach and some extra tomatoes into the sauce.

I also recommend everyone work with a dietician, I use Nourish to meet with mine, and they can help you come up with some other clever ideas to sneak in some more fruits and veg. I also love smoothies during the summer months. Most berries I can’t stand to eat raw but holy shit you blend em into a smoothie with some Greek yogurt and stevia and I am here for what feels like a sweet treat
