Hello, a year or so a go I did a thread like this and found it very very useful as it really helped me become accountable, and some lovely people joined in too! We kept it going for I think maybe 6 months?! By that time I’d lost everything I wanted to lose and was happy in maintenance at 8st 10 so I stopped posting! Since then I’ve been enjoying my food and maintaining fairly well, and absolutely no binges/emotional eating for I think a year? Which feels amazing as I was always a yoyo dieter and in a binge/restrict cycle and I do feel like that finally not part of my life anymore! (Has been achieved through not being too restrictive, really enjoying everything I ate so not feeling like I was on a diet at all, creating a small calorie deficit and doing 15000-20000 steps a day) although december and christmas has included a lot more biscuits for breakfast etc and I’m not feeling brilliantly healthy! I haven’t weighed myself but still feeling fine in my skin and even though I haven’t tracked calories for about 7 months I’m pretty sure I’ve been in quite a big surplus, maybe eating 3000-4000 cals a day? I’ve also noticed my fingers and hands sometimes go numb/tingly so I might try and reduce sugar a bit.. I’m also going to try intermittent fasting eating 12-8 this week but when I’m back at work next week I may have to change that! Anyway very very sorry for the rambly journal like entry haha, would be great to have people join me! In my last thread I used to get a lot of people very surprised by how much I ate and confused how I was losing weight- so just wanted to say everybody’s different- I am very active and do a lot of walking my dog (min 1hr a day but normally more like 2), don’t have children yet, in my late 20s, I sometimes go running too although haven’t done so for a while so going to try get back to that, but according to my fitbit I normally burn between 2400-3000 calories a day, (less If I’ve just been for 1 hour) so I try to eat at 250-500 calorie deficit meaning I can lose weight on 1900-2750 cals a day depending on the deficit I feel like doing and the calories burnt that day. Some days I am not in a deficit but as long as there is a deficit over the week the scales week go down ! I also did used to have an ED so found some of the comments like ‘oh that is so much food how on earth are you losing weight on that’ a bit hard! So please remember everyone is different and no one should compare themselves, we just used to use this thread as a way to keep ourselves accountable and inspire another with nice reasonably healthy food 😊 so yes, please join if you fancy it!!
