Is this your way to advertise GLP? What do you think an overweight person should do for calorie deficit? |
| OP here. just checking in to say I am at 124 lbs. I continue to walk a lot but less than last year - I was at 22k+ in January, 26k+ in February and 25k in march. |
No questions. Why do you think I would have questions? |
| Op what do you eat daily 🤔? |

I don't have any firm restrictions. Things that I like to eat are beef, some fish, calamari, eggs, prosciutto, ham, eggs, tomatoes, ice-cream, bananas... I eat fruit as opposed to sweets more often than in the past, and I barely eat bread. I haven't eaten pasta in a really long time. It's much more about the amount of food than type of food I eat. I think the biggest savings in terms of calories come from skipping regular meals. When I do have a regular restaurant size meal I often don't eat for 20 hours or more afterwards. |
Congrats! I'm your age and height but topped out at 182 lbs before starting GLPs, a month in. Barely lost a couple of pounds so far. Have you considered shifting to short runs instead of long walks now that you're 124lbs? That many steps must take up a lot of your time Are you still counting calories? I was hoping to not count calories at all on GLPs. |

I am going to go carnivore starting today. I’m hoping it will save me money at the grocery store and help me lose weight.
My only drinks will be water or bone broth. I will only eat grass fed beef, fish, eggs, and dairy. Enjoying food is my problem and I enjoy carbs. I’m guessing carnivore diet will keep me full (high fat, high protein) and less hungty. I tried intermittent fasting but I wouldn’t lose any weight because I’d gain it back as soon I ate . I think a permanent carb erasure may be easier |

700 calories and 30000 steps a day isn't impressive, it is just unhealthy. Thousands (tens/ hundeds of thousands?) of people with eating disorders do it every day. Excessive exercise and restricting intake are hallmarks of eating disorders. Comes with lots of other poor health effects too.
I don't find it impressive or inspiring at all to do things in an unhealthy and disordered way. |
I do food occasional food logs using AI. I dump it there, but not every day. not counting strictly or anything, but keeping track occasionally. what helps a lot is that I think I trained myself to make large pauses after bigger meals. where I would previously give up and double and triple down on calories (what the hell effect), I cut the losses and make a long pause (not IF necessarily, not a part of schedule, just a long pause after a large meal). I don't want to run, I don't like it and I don't think it would be good for my knees. Walking is time consuming but I also do it to handle phone calls and to think about my work (which is of creative sort anyway) so it's not completely wasted. |
Happy for you OP! Need a success story like yours to keep me going. I posted before and was 10-ish away from gw but then got sick and lost control of things and now heading the wrong direction sadly. |
Damn, my stomach started growling as I read this. |
but as i explained, once you train it it actually stops growling. I know eat more (I am the OP) and I am hungrier... but determined not to let this go. this has been the first time in 30 years that I am not trying to lose at least a little bit... |
Do you exercise and work a full time stressful job on 700 calories a day? I couldn't function and would have a violent headache if I ate so little |
Do you make regular meals for your family? |
