I'm doing the treadmill at the gym. I put in my weight every time to get an accurate calorie count. I do at least 200 calories burned, but have been trying to get to 400 calories burned by the end of each session.

My boyfriend and I cook most of our meals (recipes from Hello Fresh, but getting our own ingredients). I have a calorie tracker app, and count almost everything to a T. Every now and then we go out for a meal, and if the place has calorie counts we use that. Otherwise, we try to stay reasonable. For example, we go to a Pho place with amazing Pho. They don't have calories listed, but we end up taking half of our Pho home and eating it for another meal.

As for 1900 calories being what I need to lose weight, I'm pretty sure that's correct. I've checked like 5 or so different "calculators" (inputting my correct age, weight, height, activity level, etc). Some say have more, some say less (the ones that say less still have 1900 calories for like losing 1 pound a week).

You're just going to call them by pss pss anyways

Hi, I’m diabetic, and had this problem especially with loosing weight. Changing the way I eat helped me loose weight more then going to the gym. There was a point I stopped going tot he gym all together because of outside circumstances and I was still loosing weight.

I did a version of keto where you add a lot of fiber via veggies, berries, etc in with everything else. I’m not doing keto anymore but it really helped me avoid carbs like bread, pasta, rice, etc. never had a sweet tooth, so cake, cookies, candy were never a problem with me. At this point I’m still diabetic but I have it under control where my A1C is completely normal, and has been for a long time now.

Of course this isn’t for everyone and you have to do right by you, no matter what.

Wishing you the best!

I thought this was going to read "He seemed nice and then I kissed him and realized he was a smoker from the kiss YUCK" ... this went a whole different direction.

I’ve ripped numerous pants and shorts. Now I only buy “athletic fit” leg wear. Now if it rips it’s just a small slow tear instead of a dramatic surprise for all to see.

My condolences on never being allowed to jerk off again.

Check your A1C for a definitive answer.

Think if it as a title and not a name. As in Earl Grey the wise. Maybe that context will help you out. Makes the kitten sound as he is descended from nobility. Cats act like that anyway, right?

Before my cat died, we called her by like, 5 different nicknames, and over time she would recognize every single time and would sometimes come when mentioned. I don't know how common this is tho.

“Does that seem right to you?”

I (M) had a similar issue in front of my 11 year old sisters sleepover. Luckily nothing fell out.

You can gain insulin resistance by overwhelming your body with food and drinks, which is likely what happened if you have been overweight for a while. That's not fully permanent and can go down through general weight loss and watching sugar intake.

This may come off as harsh but as someone who went through the same thing you did, I have to ask if you are taking account your BMR when you are doing calorie deficit calculations. What are you doing at the gym? Weight training is good but fat loss is also largely a cardio game too at the end of the day and that means putting some effort into it.

Also, are you sure you're eating healthy and/or actually at 1900 calories? Unless you are weighing/cooking everything yourself, there's a decent chance you are undercounting the calories you eat since basic sauces can be hundreds of calories.

Keep it up!

I got slapped with the diabetes diagnosis when being tested after a night of BBQ and beer. Blood sugar was crazy high in the 300's. A1C was like 14. I cut out all carbs and 3 months later I was in pre diabetes range. Now I just stopped eating gummis and drinking soda, and I fluctuate low pre-diabetes to normal. Current A1C is 5.7. I'm 6'1 207lbs for reference.

Moral of the story, its diet.

If my wife had said the same thing, I'd have just escalated it. "Well, invite him over. We'll take turns seeing who can make you scream the loudest." Getting all bent out of shape over an obvious joke is just insecurity or immaturity.

I forgot about this duo until now 🤣🤣

My ass itches.

My advice is don't let it sit too long. It's valid to say "I'm having emotions over this and I'm still figuring myself out." and it's much better than waiting too long to have the difficult conversation.

I think Earl Tea is awesome
