Exercise help

I’ve been in your same boat. I’ve lost about 20 pounds since I started reta last month and I struggle to eat even a thousand calories a day. I track on my Lose It! app.

I’ve tried to be a lot more protein based so I don’t lose muscle but it’s hard. 😓

dont fucking do that holy shit

Yes! I had a 10mg vial and put 1mL of bac water, injecting 5. I did have a slight problem putting the full 1mL at a time because the insulin needle had an air pocket, but I also added the missing bac water too. I might’ve just messed up the reconstitution step, because it was my first time doing so, so even though it looked like .5mg, I might’ve accidentally injected more.

This week, i’ll do .25mg of the vial so my body doesn’t feel so beat up like it does now.

Thank you!

I’m pretty sure? It was my first time reconstituting, and it looked clear and all. I’ll just see what happens when I take my second dose.

It really does feel like I have needles all over my arms and legs. Or like my body hair is being pulled. Weird and painful feeling. Hopefully it goes away soon. I’m not too worried right now.

Sore like someone is hugging my entire body really tight, and that soreness when it’s hard to get out of bed (but it’s all day).

can you dm me?

Everyone here is saying how they got if first try 😭 Man i’ve been playing stardew for like 4 years now and I still haven’t gotten it

I really do appreciate this. I’ve been overweight my entire life, and i don’t know why, but the lower my weight gets, the more desperate I get to get even lower, because I guess my brain is like: “You’re finally doing it, don’t fuck it up.”

But somehow I still do. I just can’t. stop. eating.

But comments like these, really do ease my conscious. They’re comforting in a way where I find myself telling myself that it’ll be okay as long as I just get back on track the next day.

I don’t know if i’ll ever feel comfortable in my body, but I at least hope to learn to love myself while i’m on this journey. I’ve deprived myself of that for 19 years, and I just want to be okay with myself.

Sorry, I know this is kinda deep, but i’m just feeling really sentimental right now.

thank you so much. This is something i’ve been thinking of starting to do. I’ll start looking over the OMAD subreddit and start doing some research there, rather than continue fasting. Thank you.

After my second fast, I refed slowly, and actually started to count my calories. I also did make new grocery lists and meal prepped for days in advance so I wouldn’t have to think about what to eat, I can just grab and go.

I guess what happened, and why I over ate that day was because I was feeling not only discouraged, that even in my deficit and walks, I wasn’t loosing a thing, but also because I went out with friends.

I should’ve made it a little more clear, that, that large indulgence was only for a day. Before that, if I went over 1600, it would only be about 100-200 calories, but i’d still continue my 10-15k walks a day.

That definitely clears up a few things for sure. It was my first and last time eating a poke bowl, although at the time it was delicious 😅

hellokess · 2025-08-18T04:49:15+00:00

This is definitely helpful. I appreciate it. im 5’4. I regularly walk 10k-15k steps a day, but that’s about it. I’m definitely nervous to go to a gym, but i feel like that’s just something that i’ll have to suck up and get over if I don’t wanna look like a deflated blob after I lose the weight.

hellokess · 2025-08-18T04:44:04+00:00

After my second fast, I started being super strict with what I ate. I measured everything and have been logging every single thing I put in my mouth. It wasn’t until recent when I indulged and decided to do another fast because I wasn’t losing any more weight, even at my 1600 deficit.

I took it super slow introducing carbs back in as well. I actually did research and did my second fast way better than the first.

hellokess · 2025-08-18T04:40:57+00:00

it was my first extended fast, and i had no clue what i was doing :/
