started tracking calories for everything i ate, even little snacks or condiments. after the first few days it just become natural. as someone that previously had an ED and body image problems knowing that you’re making improvements every day regardless of your shape at the moment has helped so much.

my fitness pal! even on days i’m not at the gym i still feel like im making a difference if i know i tracked my calories well. also, keep in mind that physiologically you are still losing weight in a deficit, even if the scale isn’t moving due to water/glycogen/meal time. you got this!

50ish is still such an accomplishment! you got this, but don’t forget that you’re amazing for even trying, regardless of the scale

don’t worry at all!!! i studied nutrition for a little in undergrad and u can find a mifflin-stjeor calorie calculator online to give u an estimate as to how many you should be eating a day, just make sure you’re being honest with your activity level. from there, i dropped about 600 calories. for me that number is 2000 still, so i mathematically should lose about 1.5 pounds a week, but obvi some measuring error along the way.
