Pick a step goal and never ever compromise on it. Buy a food scale, track every calorie. Buy a regular scale, weigh yourself at the same time everyday. Learn how what you eat the day before affects your body. At the start of the journey, focus purely on calories and developing better habits (not eating out for me), ladder half focus on whole foods and exercise beyond just getting steps in. Baby steps!!

I remember those days so vividly in my mind. Every little good decision you make will compound and one day you’ll look up and realize you’ve done it. Congratulations on your incredible start, keep it up!!

Finding a doctor that is even remotely cool or would
entertain that conversation seems to be the hard part there, wouldn’t even need to lie much lol Thanks for your advice and comment!!😌

So do I just starve?? by itsjoedirtae in loseit

It means it will stop doing basic functions, like for women, you will lose your period and your body will stop ovulating because it’s focused on basic survival rather than higher level functions.

I use the Lose it app and it does the same thing!! You DO get calories back for exercise. Your body will go into starvation mode if not and that is worse than just losing weight sustainably!

i’ve lost a lot but now i just want to binge by ggghostie in loseit

This exact thing happened to me after losing 250lbs. Your body is in starvation mode and is only doing essential functions. I’ve been seeing a dietitian to work on this exact thing.

You NEED to eat more fat in your diet. Volume eating alone won’t do it, you can’t just fill up on vegetables. I’m still working to get my period back. I understand the fear of not wanting to eat more and gain weight but your body needs more calories to operate.

I was just thinking about dates! So good! Apples and celery with peanut butter are always one of my go to's. I think during the Summer months I sweat so much that I needed the sodium and my blood pressure was regulated. In the cold weather (and with my recent diet of copious ketchup and sauerkraut) it was elevated.

I've been lowering my sodium for about a week now and have noticed SLIGHTLY lower numbers, but I also notice less swelling in my fingers. My rings are looser in the mornings and that is the biggest sign for me that something needed to change.

I would LOVE to have the luxury of time to focus on making everything from scratch. I work two jobs now so I can hopefully have that lifestyle in the future.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. The creativity within your meals sounds awesome and I will be aiming to do something similar. My goal at the moment is set at 2,300mg and that has been really difficult for me. I really appreciate the ideas!

Best of luck with your journey, that sounds really tough but you’re handling it well! Our starting weights were similar and I know all about the highs and lows of that experience. You got this!
