Lose weight the fun way.

I made it! I hope everyone else does as well. I realized this round how much I truly hate having to exercise, specifically cardio to get a higher heart rate.

If you aren’t using ChatGPT or some other AI to help lose weight you are missing out! It’s been so helpful to me. I don’t count anything, it coaches me a bit every meal just telling me for more protein or more water, I tell it what I ate and it estimates everything. It’s been fantastic to my progress. Anyone else?

Hi y'all! Checking in because it's been a while and it's very quiet in here lately. 💕😊 Hope everyone is staying strong! 💪

I took a vacation a couple weeks ago and did a real doozie on my progress. So this past week I was back on point. And now, a week later, I'm back where I was pre-vacay. But I still have to play catch up if I want to meet my goal for September 18/19.

Cheers! And have a great week everyone! ☺

I’m really struggling with junk food cravings this month and scared to get on the scale. I’m really going to try to do better for the next 9 days and hope for the best! :)

LilBit73SC

Tammy, what's your plan to catch up? I have a bit of extra work to do this week too, but I dont know how I'm going to do it. I need some ideas.

How much did you all loose so far? For me it’s been almost 15kg since the game started, down to 107,9kg now (M27, 1,90m). It’s really helping.

What's your primary focus this week? 🎯

I'll go first. My focus is calorie deficit. Starting today I'm focusing on 15% calorie deficit, 6 days/week, thru the month of August (except for the week I'm on vacay! Then, all bets are off. ?)

Tammy, I hope your vacation is after weigh-in.

I have to focus on walking again. It's been so incredibly hot outside this month I wasn't getting my steps in. And a calorie deficit because I have not recovered from my week 1 semi-splurge. All I had was some extra carbs that my body was craving and wouldn't shut up about. Ridiculous how your body holds on to it until the last minute.

Walking more. I've done pretty good this week so far.

Well, after hitting my goal on the 19th I've struggled all week with my nutrition. Still getting my steps in every day, but the FOOD NOISE has been unreal this week! 🙆

Anyone else, or just me???

I’m doing zero carb to get rid of the food noise, but I’m still struggling with “caffeine noise.” In addition to weight loss, I’m trying to kick my addictions (coffee/carbs/sugar). I’m hoping this week will be the week!

Danny S.

I hear what your saying however kicking all those addiction's at once seems overwhelming. I find coffee (black) reduces the food noise temporally. No harm in coffee, just not 8 a day. LOL

Beef burger patties, steak, eggs, butter, water, no salt. Carnivore/zero carb.

I'm with Lukas, at least one protein shake, eggs, meat, popcorn, some kind of fiber and a diet coke.

Everyone has their own strategy which is valid but what helped me loose around 6kg in the last around 20days without too much restricting is replacing some meals, often breakfast and/or dinner with a protein shake while having a lunch with comfort food. Or eating one day less then I could while the next day is almost maintenance calories. So I can have like indian takeaway, sometimes even fast food so don’t have to restrict myself, hit my protein goals and still loose weight. Because everyone will relapse at one point anyway or especially me because I have to deal with binge eating/adhd which was the reason I alwqys regained. Willpower is limited.

I feel you with the adhd struggle. Boredom snacking is a habit I continously fight with. I also have had reasonable success with an everything in moderation mindset, and plan around things I really want without making myself feel too guilty about cravings. After all, long term success is build with lifestyle changes not temporary diets/habits. I also try to log things daily, but usually look at my bulk/weekly averages for the trends. We all have "bad" days and so I try not to let myself get too caught up on a single day. I've found it makes it easier to mentally reset the next day and continue forward towards my longer term goals.

If I really want tacos on a Friday for example, I may skip breakfast or lunch that day to save my intake allowance for later in the day. I don't like to eat at a particular time just because everyone else is (lunch in the office for example). I'd rather save my calories to eat when I want too, and have found this helps me stay within my daily intake goals. Also the mindset shift of saying not now instead of just outright no goes a long way for my late night snack cravings and the willingness to have that snack or treat tomorrow instead of right now

lukas J.

What I can recommend, instead of skipping entirely, have a protein shake with water of like 150 calories, prevents you overeating your comfort meal

Is anyone leaning on AI (chatgpt?) for help with nutrition and fitness schedules? What's the best advice you've gotten from it so far?

Yes 100%! Just using chatGPT. I have a super simple kitchen scale for weighing out portions, I’ve found it’s super helpful to just give it a “I made this, here were the ingredients, I had xx grams” and it gives a pretty decent range of calories and protein! Also for advice when eating out, literally just upload screenshots of the entire menu and it gives good recommendations based on what you want (for me I usually target most efficient calories per gram of protein, others may just want lowest calories).

Margaret P.

No I don’t use AI because I value the planet
