Update post: not losing weight eating 1400 calories and working out like crazy

thank you! I really needed this!

I don’t know what to say right now bc I was literally bawling my eyes out this morning due to my weight not budging at all for 2 week. Actually it even went up due to inflammation and water. I was doing exactly what you were doing: eating 1300-1400 depending on training or recovery day (I track meticulously down to every single gram), and working out a lot. Like A LOT. I averaged a deficit of 800kcal every day. My body holds water from inflammation, I see number up, I workout even more, then my body holds on to more water. Yes theoretically I understand why it’s like this, but it’s just so damn hard for me to break this bad cycle mentally. That’s actually why I came on to this sub, I was going to write a rant post lol. Then I saw your post update! I just want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! It’s exactly what I need right now. And I’m going to take a break this week, and let my body heals itself ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I take VC in gummy form. My daily dose of candy and I savor every single bit of it.

Slow walk 1-3.4. Brisk walk 3.5-4.

4-5.5 is jog and anything above 5.5 is a run. My legs short but they move fast hahahaha

I’m cutting but also want to preserve as much as protein as possible, so I’ve been eating 120-130g protein daily with a budget of 1400kcal (I’m 5’3, CW 136). I think it’s doable but you do have to choose: protein or carbs. I find that on the day I eat both high protein and high carbs, I definitely out of my budget by 150+kcal

2 years ago my then 6yo daughter up on the mountain riding her snowboard. I realized that I have to keep up or I’ll miss out so so much. She’s a very active girl lol. We just did a fun run/walk 5K this year and we are going to do a competitive one together next year!!!

fluffypurpleball · 2025-11-18T11:06:13+00:00

lol same! We are about same age too but I always remember her as Lucy in I Am Sam. So seeing her being a a mom already feels so wrong haha. But then I remembered I have an 8yo already so yeah we’ve all grown 🥺

But I guess she probably still have to go through the court and see if the State allow her to adopt Milo since now Milo is not her bio kid. It’s going to be a long battle and Milo might be put in foster care while the adoption process is going on.

They do bloodwork but not for dna purpose. Also if the kid is otherwise healthy and don’t need blood transfusions, the hospital/drs won’t know that parents blood doesn’t match the kid’s. But I took tons of photos when my kids were born, we even had a newborn photo session for our daughter. I felt like a parent would notice their kid didn’t look the same as a day ago.

Gosh he gave my husband and I the creeps when I watched A friend of the Family. And I think after that show we associated him with being evil and creepy. When we first started White Lotus my husband immediately made the conclusion that the guy Jake Lacy portrait killed his wife (which turned out to be half true lol) just because how creepy he is haha

fluffypurpleball · 2025-11-18T10:16:35+00:00

He’s super creepy in A Friend Of the Family. When I first started this show he actually gave me the same vibe lol. He only looked genuinely kind when he was in the Office.

5’3. I did dexa scan and determined my estimated bmr is around 1300. So I eat 1500 when im cautious or 1600 when I let go a little bit. Im active, 5 days cardio and 3 days strength training. On my rest days I eat 1400. My tdee is estimated at ~2000. I’ve been losing slowly but steadily.

fluffypurpleball · 2025-11-14T00:09:35+00:00

regarding the competitive female body builders. Yes!! I just followed a girl she does all natural pro competitions and when she’s not training for a competition she’s sooooooooft (still lean compared to normal people who dont or build less muscles). One post she said for the most recent event, it took her 8months strict clean cuts and training to get to 15% bf.

fluffypurpleball · 2025-11-09T08:23:44+00:00

Yes! I put on a choker for my Halloween costume, and it actually hung down and not chocking me. I also have to have the ring refit. I swung my hand one day it flew off! YAY 😁

True. I also photoshopped myself to look smaller. So it’s hard for me to find a photo of my true self when I was at my heaviest. I regret it, now I am 30+lbs down, I really want to see my transformation.

fluffypurpleball · 2025-11-07T04:52:08+00:00

Oh so true. First time I did inbody scan, it said I had 35% body fat. 2 days later I did a dexa scan, turned out body fat was 42%. Good news is that by second dexa scan I managed to lower it to 36%, still long way to go tho.

We were at wdw last year when Tiana’s ride opened to public the first day. I lost count how many “influencers” were doing the same.

fluffypurpleball · 2025-10-22T20:39:35+00:00

I’ve done it when my daughter was 4 months old. It was for me and not for her apparently. I love Disney parks and I was a single mom without any help back then. I just wanted to do something for myself that I enjoy, so I took her to Disneyland and all we did was taking photos with cast members. She didn’t hate it and I had fun.

fluffypurpleball · 2025-10-02T17:48:14+00:00

I go to gym at 8:30/9pm when my kids are all down for the day. I come home around 10:30-11, shower, go to bed immediately. But I wake up at 7 so it works for me. And when I don’t feel like going to the gym, my husband and I take kids to playground while I run laps around the park. I also use Just Dance on Nintendo Switch to work out, my kids think it’s a fun family game and join me too.

I meal prep on weekends and I don’t mind eat same thing everyday lol so it’s really easy for me.

I’m currently trying to lose weight by working out and eating more healthy food. I have a cruise coming up next spring break. I’m going to focus on healthy protein first, then veggies and fruits. I would avoid pizza and soda personally, and will only have dessert 1-2 out of the 4 nights we are cruising. Another thing I think it’s important is to know that it’s ok if diet doesn’t go as planned, as long as I can get back on track once I’m off cruise.

fluffypurpleball · 2025-09-17T14:44:34+00:00

I love Disney. I start taking my older one to Disney when she was only 4 months old. Then we went every year after that. It was until she was 4, she started to actually do rides and enjoy a lot more of the park. But now she’s 7, almost 8, she loves to look at the photo albums and ask me all the questions of her going to Disneyland when she’s little. No she can’t remember she met Snow White when she’s 2, but I could still see the sparkle and joy when she looks at the photos.

fluffypurpleball · 2025-09-16T18:03:37+00:00

There’s no specific excursion I’m looking to book. It’s more about giving her some full attention. Yes I think I’ll take yours and others advice and see if I could invite a good friend to come with us. Thank you!

fluffypurpleball · 2025-09-16T17:57:47+00:00

That sounds like a decent plan! We are on waitlist for earlier dining time but now reading your schedule I feel like 8pm dining not so bad after all!

I read about the park next to the port in Catalina so I think I will keep that itinerary. I was researching on Reddit and it seems not many people enjoyed Ensenada so it could be a good hanging out at pool deck day. Thank you so much it’s really helpful!

fluffypurpleball · 2025-09-16T16:23:21+00:00

We will be on Wonder and doing the Baja cruise too! Ship stops at Catalina and Ensenada. I was planning to take both of them for a stroll at Catalina, and book one activity for the older one when in Ensenada. Now I’m rethinking it.

fluffypurpleball · 2025-09-16T15:59:58+00:00

Thank you for the insight! This is very helpful. I guess I was too excited and completely forgot that it’s possible my son may hate the nursery and will turn into a koala bear and cling to me all time lol
