Weight Loss Plan UPDATED

Here’s the [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/PetiteFitness/s/oQ0rqZHbvA) to my last post.
For reference I am 26, F, 5’2” and 179 lbs. My goal is 150 lbs, but would also like to be 130 lbs.
I’ve updated my stats! I have yet to weigh myself in, but I’m feeling good about this one.
Calories: 1700kcal (down from 1900)
Protein: 100 g (down from 135g courtesy of my dietician)
Fat: 75g
Fiber: 25g
Carbs: 170g
Steps: 10k
Exercise: 30 min/day

I’m still walking every day (now at a 4-inch incline and 3.2 speed!! I was at a 3-inch incline and 3 speed).
I also do strength training on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for another 30 minutes.

I use a Apple Watch and I have the metrics as follows:
Move: 350 cal
Exercise: 40 min
Stand: 12 hr

I’ve been consistent with this setup for 13 weeks now. Do you think I should tweak any of this?

Best non-meal foods for fixing the feeling of an empty stomach?

Most foods recommended for weight loss (ex. fruits, vegetables, yogurts, etc) leave me full but with a 'watery' feeling in my stomach. Like the way that you feel less satisfied after liquid calories compared to a solid meal even if they are equivalent. Very often I'll need something more 'solid' to actually feel satiated (usually end up having toast), especially before bed so it is easier to fall asleep as I often struggle with sleeping in a deficit. Part of this is probably psychological also haha

Any recommended foods that aren't too caloric & are non inflammatory that match what I am wanting? It is really just that I need something that doesn't feel like it's turned to liquid in my stomach but isn't so calorically empty

Medically assisted weight loss.

So I know the basic rules of weightloss. CICO. You can't outrun a bad diet. And even medication and baratric surgery will only provide temporary results if you don't make changes in the long run.

For those of you who sought medical help (surgery, medication, etc) what made you decide to take that step? Did it help you make and sustain the changes that you needed to make? Or do you regret your choice to have surgery/use medication due to side effects/ineffectiveness.

I found out from the hospital that my insurance has zero requirements for weight loss surgery so I don't even have to go through a program as long as I get all the clearances the hospital requires...I could have surgery in as soon as two months.

I felt shame having a large treat and now I don't know how to feel about it

This feels like such a small and insignificant thing to talk about, but it's been a few days and it still rubs me the wrong way because I didn't think I'd react like that. So context:

I've lost like 45lbs since february. I track calories and have learned along the way the importance of portioning, listening to hunger cues, and saying "I can have this later/tomorrow." It's great, fantastic, and I'm really proud of myself for being able to regulate cravings, stress binges, and eat like a normal college kid.

I'm currently halfway through a two-week diet break (the weather lately has triggered the part of me that yearns to be a bear fattening for the winter) and I've been doing well. I didn't launch immediately into binging every day, I'm still eating whole foods, hitting my protein and fibre, and regular meals. I really did need that break, and I think I'm using it well. I don't dread the idea of going back into a calorie deficit next week, I feel ready for it.

The other day, it was my starbucks birthday and I've been really loving pumpkin spice, so I decided to grab a pumpkin spice iced frappe. I got a venti, and seeing the size of the cup suddenly made me feel hyperaware of the eyes around me. I just suddenly felt very conscious of how I looked from the outside. I'm still fat, a stranger never would've assumed that I had lost 40lbs already. Why did I care?? Why did I have to reassure myself that a stranger's thoughts and opinions don't mean anything?

It just doesn't make sense to me. This whole time, I never really excluded foods I loved. I don't believe in cheat days, just regulating portions and staying inside of my daily deficit. Before I started my weight loss journey, getting a venti frappe wouldn't have shaken me like this at all. It worries me, or maybe I'm being dramatic cuz I want to make sure that my relationship with food doesn't spiral into an ED.

I drink so much zero cal bullshit i swear it works

Coke. Tea. Sparkling water. Weird ice tea that's suprisingly tasty. Coffee (rarely). Energy drinks (even rarer). Lemonade. Flavored neon blue water. It has geniunely made my weight loss so much more bearable. Dare I say, enjoyable even.

Drinking whatever zero calorie bullshit I could get my hands on instead of eating out of boredom at that moment is a tactic that geniunely helps me keep some deadly binges at bay. I'll be walking down the street and want to stop by a restaurant or market to just get something, both to have something to do with my hand and to have something in my mouth, and you know what I get? That weird strawberry flavored pepsi that I love the taste of even though my sister looks at me in horror every single time. 2 cals per can. Bottoms up.

And I am also more hydrated than I was before. Sure, chemical explosion in my body, but let's be real. I wouldn't be any more healthier if I was eating 1500 cals over every single day instead, and I very easily could. We all could. The smallest thing which is the size of my thumb or something can cost like 300 cals out there, many of you folks are familiar I'm sure.

So yeah. Conclusion is, as I've heard some wise dude say before, drinking bullshit is better than drinking nothing. Get yourself a drink.

With 5 cals at most and triple that amount the chemicals for ideal results. Cheers.

How are the arms looking after a 50 pound weight loss?

I’m early 20s F, 5’7, losing weight at a very reasonable pace. At my highest I was 180 pounds, so I’d say it’s quite a few pounds down to my GW (ab 50 pounds) but not so crazy that I’d have to consider loose skin surgery. But one thing I’m worried about is my arms.

I know everyone is different, but generally speaking how did your arm skin (upper arms specifically) fare after a major weight loss? Did you end up with a lot of floppy skin that you had to treat with surgery? Or is there anything I can do to increase my chances of maybe not having so much loose skin once I get to 130 lbs?

Anyone giving up on losing the last 10 lbs?

My highest weight as a 5‘5“ female is was 311 pounds. My current weight is 157 pounds. I am thrilled with my weight loss overall! My original goal was to be under 200. Then to be merely overweight as opposed to obese and I am very happy I didn’t stop at those goals. My last goal was to get to 149lbs.
However, I have been stuck at 157 for the past three months. My doctor actually told me he thinks 10 pounds or so of my weight is probably excessive skin and/or increased muscle mass overall and he is happy with my labs so he was kinda like “Go for the loss if you want but it’s not definitely NOT harming your health to be at a slight overweight BMI.” Which is very reassuring but I still feel the need to keep going to hit that magical number.
I’m just not sure if I’m willing to go lower on my calories at this point to lose the final 8/9 pounds that would put me in the “normal BMI“
Can anyone relate? Anyone staying comfortable and happy in the slightly overweight category ?
