1500 kcal deficit for 215lb female? Sustainable?

Hello! New member here and I am feeling conflicted over my kcal deficit for weight loss. Everything I seem to read says to keep it at a 500-1000 daily calorie deficit and I am averaging closer to a 1500 calorie deficit. Is this something I really need to worry about at 215lbs? Should I force myself to eat more?

I am 38y, 215lb at 5’3” My calculated TDEE is 1765 at sedentary (factoring in body fat) My average daily intake per MFP is 1350kcal My Apple Watch 4 tells me my total daily calories burned is about 2600-2800. So that gives me about a 1500 calorie deficit assuming all calculations are correct.

I eat mostly unprocessed food. Keep carbs under 150grams and drink at least 80oz of water a day. I don’t feel hungry or low energy. Just for added info. I am only a few weeks into this.

Pain on Top of Foot Info for Runners

Hello! Well… here’s an update on my foot pain and after a lot of research I have a list of websites to share. It was hard to find information that was relevant to my foot pain because I think it’s a running related injury. Most of the first search results were general foot maladies and […]

Noom

I have to thank Noom. Not because it did anything, but because of what it can’t do for me. If you’re unfamiliar with Noom, it’s a “personalized” weight loss program/app that costs about $150 for 6 months. After trying all sorts of dieting and exercising (and failing over and over again) I was seriously considering Noom. Alas, I’m a broke graduate student. I don’t have that kind of cash for an app. But I viewed it as investing in myself. I told myself that if I can’t get it together, I’ll resort to Noom. I decided to try 5:2 OMAD Intermittent Fasting and I’ve already lost 6 pounds since last Monday. So thanks Noom, not for what you do, but for being so inaccessible to people that they have to use you as a bargaining chip!

Can you ignore hunger?

My husband and I are losing weight at the same time, but both going about it differently. He eats a Kind bar for breakfast, a bag of small bell peppers and toast for lunch and then doesn't eat anything until dinner time, and his dinners tend to be small. He's losing weight a lot faster than me, but I already know I cannot do what he's doing.

I asked him if he's hungry all the time. He says he can feel hunger in the late afternoon, but he just ignores it. He drinks unsweetened tea instead. And you'd never tell the difference with him. If I'm hungry, I'm a royal bitch to be around. And I don't feel just a slight hunger either, I'm starving. I am completely nonfunctional until I get something in my stomach.

The past couple days I'm trying something different, which I guess is intermittent fasting. After I eat a sensible dinner in the evening, I stop eating at about 7:30 pm. Used to be I was starving at this point, which I think was misidentified cravings. I used a distraction (played video games) for the past few weeks to ignore the cravings. The past couple of days, I've not been playing video games and realized I'm not starving, but I am hungry. And I ignored it.

I thought I'd wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning feeling absolute starvation, but I woke up not feeling hungry at all beyond having my morning cup of coffee.

I'm wondering if this is a stage of weight loss that everyone has to learn. That there will be times when you are hungry, but you choose to ignore it until your designated time and with your designated meal. It kinda sucks, but I've finally reached the point in my life will I'll take a little suckitude to get to the weight I want.

Today is a good day to try again.

Hey, Loseit! I’m back! And I’m here to stay. My weight loss journey could be a book, so I’ll try to keep it short and sweet- about 4 years ago I couldn’t participate in a pool event because I was too fat (I didn’t have a swimsuit and didn’t fit in any available.) I was so embarrassed and ashamed, and it was the kick I needed to lose the weight. I was on here all the time, learning amazing tips and tricks, laughing and crying right along with y’all. I realized the golden rule was right, and I did CICO successfully. I lost about 20-30lb, and I kept it off for over 3 years. I wanted to lose more but I lost momentum. Unfortunately, about 6 months ago I started a very stressful job I did not like. Without realizing it, to deal with the excessive stress, I ate and drank my way back up 15-20lb in about 3-4 months. I was depressed and I ate to deal with it. A story as old as time. Good news! I got a new job I’ll be starting in just a few weeks! I am no longer as depressed, and I am slowly finding my way back to myself. Bad news, I have to lose the weight again (and hopefully more!) because I don’t fit in any of my clothes and I’m not into what I see in the mirror. Why post this- 1. Accountability. Hopefully you’ll see me on here more (I gotta figure out how to set a flare...) 2. I never thought I’d be someone to regain the weight. So if anyone else is struggling with that shame, let it go. You’re not alone. You know what? Sometimes life sucks and we don’t deal with it the best. But I lived and I learned, and today is a good day to try again. Hopefully you try with me.

People asking "how did you do it?" and then being disappointed when I tell them

I'm reaching a point in weight loss (finally) where a lot of people are starting to notice. Which means that now I'm getting a lot of questions about "wow, you've lost weight, how did you do it?"

My answer, honestly, is that I counted calories and exercised. Nobody wants to hear this. Everyone always looks disappointed at this answer. And I kind of get it, because I feel weird even saying it because it's a glaringly obvious answer and I'm not trying to make people feel stupid. But seriously... that's it. I count calories, and I exercise. Mostly counting calories.

So far nobody has asked me for more details or what app I use or anything like that. It's always just a disappointed look and sometimes a glum, "ha ha, you mean the things I'm supposed to be doing..."

I'm not trying to make people feel bad! I don't know, it's weird. Anyone else experience this and want to commiserate?
