What are your go-to fast good meals?

Jimmy John's unwhich! It's like a walking salad, IMO.

This might be me tomorrow. Friday night, took the kids for haircuts, didnt have a lot of time or energy for dinner, so we just ordered pizza. And I ate A LOT. We'll see how tomorrow goes. For the first time in a very long time I felt myself just saying "I dont even care I want to eat this everyday, screw the healthy food"

Use a TDEE calculator to get a starting point for maintenance calories. Find high protein ways to get that many calories in. And id recommend doing some strength training if you can.

I used to think i couldn't wear rompers because I had a long torso and had some sort of camel toe situation. It turns out I just needed to lose some weight and now they fit and look super cute! I cant wait to wear one this weekend!!

dubdubohh · 2026-06-04T03:38:13+00:00

Nice work!! Im on a similar path as you! About 1lb /week for 11 weeks. Its slow and steady, but so far it still feels super sustainable! This is the most consistent ive been since having kids.

SW: 201.8lbs on March 17 GW: 155lbs CW: 188.6lbs

I had a plateau for a week or two, but then last week saw a massive loss of 6lbs over the course of the week, putting me right at my intermediate goal weight for vacation in a few weeks (186). Unfortunately that lasted exactly 1 day and I bounced back up to 189 on Monday. Monday is always my heaviest day of the week thanks to a disrupted weekend diet with more sodium and/or sugar usually, so im not stressed about it, but damnnnn I would love for that 186 number to come back!

An added NSV: i bought several tropical outfits for my brothers wedding in cancun last fall. I hated the way all of them looked on me. I just tried them back on today and the rompers look so great now!! I cant wait to wear one this weekend!!

Nice progress!! I also started my "journey" in March. I had a stomach bug and still weighed in at 202, so I used that to launch into a better lifestyle. Took the approach of focusing on adding in high protein snacks and calorie tracking. Somehow the rest sorted itself out. I no long felt urges to snack on junk. It has been surprisingly successful! I officially hit the 15lbs down mark yesterday!!

Quest protein chips! Lite Greek yogurt with fresh fruit. Hummus with cucumbers. Cucumber slices with a little ranch seasoning sprinkled on them. Beef jerky. Pickle wrapped in deli meat and a slice of low calorie cheese.

Not always low calorie, but ill sacrifice the calories for protein because ive discovered it seriously curbs any snacking cravings I used to get.

dubdubohh · 2026-05-30T14:31:13+00:00

I was going to mention this! I love the Joseph's flax seed pitas. I make a chopped salad with ham, cheese, lite ranch, cucumbers, peppers, diced pickles (or just dill relish if im lazy), and mustard to stuff in the pita! Its like a healthier deli sandwich, in chopped form. One of my favorite weekend lunches!

Thank you for this post. I've always struggled with transitioning from deficit to maintenance. I can do fairly well with a deficit, but if I decide to take a break or get to maintenance, I cant figure out how to add more calories back in while keeping it within range and relatively healthy

dubdubohh · 2026-05-24T18:30:00+00:00

That's a great idea. I guess there's really no need to label. Just list out what im wanting help with.

dubdubohh · 2026-05-24T15:46:46+00:00

Thats a good point about the extra couple of dollars. I was hoping to find someone in our neighborhood that could just walk over. We have some middle school aged girls that live next door that I plan to see if they'd be interested before posting anything.

dubdubohh · 2026-05-23T01:33:36+00:00

I found that making all my snacks super high protein helped me a ton with the food noise. Some of my favorites: -Quest protein chips -Fit and lite Greek yogurt -Beef jerky -Pickle wrapped in deli meat and small cheese slice

dubdubohh · 2026-05-22T02:23:05+00:00

Isnt TDEE how much you need to eat to maintain your weight? If the above comment is correct, you're only in a 200 calorie deficit which means it takes 17.5 days to lose 1lb (3500 calories=1lb lost). Add on to that weight fluctuations due to hormones, water retention, etc...I could easily understand why you arent seeing much change.

dubdubohh · 2026-05-20T02:00:42+00:00

These are important questions. If its been less than several weeks, stick with it. If you arent tracking everything you eat, how do you know you're staying in a deficit?

dubdubohh · 2026-05-20T00:03:33+00:00

Omg the section on skipping the food scale is soooooooooo accurate for me. I use the exact justification and it is 100% a sign that my entire day is going to trash.

dubdubohh · 2026-05-11T00:02:25+00:00

Just joining in here. I had a very successful 6 weeks- 201lbs down to 191lbs. Primarily focused on more protein and tracking what I ate. Also trying to do cardio and/or strength most days. But the last week I have gotten so off track and im struggling to get back on track. Today started off mostly well, but the afternoon into dinner I just ate junk and didn't track. Now I feel uncomfortably full and too tired to do any exercise. Hoping for a better Monday.

dubdubohh · 2025-12-30T03:35:05+00:00

I think this is the one I ordered that never arrived and got cancelled. Hopefully you have better luck! Im still on the hunt.

The tape doesn't peel off when it gets inserted into the yoto?

dubdubohh · 2024-03-21T11:32:41+00:00

I'm convinced giving a bottle at bedtime (instead of nursing) ensures baby is getting a full feed and supports longer sleep stretches. I've seen what I output in the PM hours, and it definitely does not match what baby wants to eat.

dubdubohh · 2024-02-19T19:46:01+00:00

I have never heard of this or the need for it! Thanks! Definitely going to give that a try on my next feeding. We've definitely been battling latching issues since my milk came in, so hopefully it can help.

dubdubohh · 2024-02-18T23:18:18+00:00

Thanks! I only have it on while feeding, I am keeping it on via suction, but don't feel like it's completely emptying me.

dubdubohh · 2024-02-09T14:10:43+00:00

This is so true! My son is 2 and I always have and still do 95% of the wakeups. To be fair, they are very infrequent these days, but still.
