RE: Weightloss Journey Update #7

Congrats!! Yeah, stress plays a part for sure. Also - EAT MORE! Sometimes when you eat too little (ie, one meal a day), your body hangs onto it for dear life in starvation mode. You can find calculators online that will tell you what your specific caloric needs are (your resting calorie burn and also one based on your activity levels, which at 14k steps/day, is pretty high), rather than the generic "2000 cals/day" model. If you are much below that, or at all below your resting number, you're not going to lose weight. It sounds counterintuitive but I've seen it happen many times (as a personal trainer).
But that is awesome about the shirt!! That's the best way to measure, tbh. How your clothes fit tells you more than the number on the scale, which doesn't reflect muscle mass vs. fat mass or water retention and such. So you're doing great!!

Thank you!!! 💚💚💚

And, hmmm, I have a calculator I can input food for meals on Samsung Health that I never use. I'll start using it and figure out where I'm at on average, thanks for the idea!

Okay... So, I tracked yesterday and today. 1,345 yesterday and 1,145 today.

I guess now I know why I'm so tired all the time. 😣

Woman! You better eat more or I will send a herd of grandmas after you!!

Grannie army?! Mmmmmmmm, scawy. Lol!

The Grannie army will make sure you eat, eat! LOL
Or my old Russian prof. She told us to bring in a bowl to the next class. I forgot to grab a bowl from home, but I was coming from work in the cafeteria, so I grabbed a little to go bowl.
She made borscht for us, and saw my bowl and said, "No, that is a bowl for a cat! You need more!" And hands me a bowl the size of my head. XD

Uzbek's are like that, too! I used to work with a couple people from Uzbekistan and Lithuania. they would send me home with plates for myself and the kids.
