Is it normal to feel full after eating? Does it mean I’m eating too much?

The last few days I’ve been feeling full after eating what I used to consider not to be that much food. For instance I had a fried egg on an english muffin with some coffee and felt full after. Maybe it’s time to recalculate my TDEE and lower my calorie intake? For so long I didn’t consider myself to feel full until my stomach was severely bloated and I could barely keep the food down. So when I first started my weight loss journey even after having a “normal” sized portion I still felt empty, so maybe now my body has caught up? Does it mean it’s time to reduce my intake, or is this supposed to happen already? All I know is I don’t want to reverse or even halt my progress.

I don’t know how to eat anymore..

Some input please! I’ve lost 75 lbs over the last 18 months, through portion control and running 2-3 days a week. But on my way here, due to difficulties in other parts of my life - I seem to have lost my sense of logic and reason. I began eating less, and now I am so confused. Please help me! After a significant weight loss, you need less calories. I know that.. But right now I’m eating about 1000 kcal a day, not loosing much weight anymore. This can not be right.. I’m so scared of gaining weight again, that I don’t really know how to begin. I can not eat less! How many calories should I have to maintain my current weight? I’m 5’5, and have dropped from 203 lbs to 128 lbs.

In order to succeed, losing weight should not be your goal but merely the consequence of slowly building healthy life-time habits

I've done it all: crazy and intense workout to compensate my binges, crazy food restrictions that would backfire after days or week, take advantage of summer manual jobs to lose weight effortlessly only to gain the weight back when i would switch back to office jobs/studying. I was so sure that weight loss was simply not to me, that it would require focus, sacrifice, some intense innate willpower. None of that is strictly true or necessary, none. And so here I was, just two months ago, at my heaviest yet; binging, neglecting exercise, I just wanted to maximize my comfort, but it was a goal set to fail, as I was seeing me letting myself go, day after day, the clothes fitting tighter, my face getting rounder and my gut bigger. After a very unnecessary binge (a lot of pizza roll after eating dinner) I began to question what was I really doing and how it was impacting me but I decided to focus not on losing weight but on my relationship with food and I how I could gain a greater enjoyment by eating less and eating things I liked without sacrificing much (thanks to CICO and Intermittent Fasting 8:16 as I don't like breakfast) and I planned a routine workout I could actually succeed and I focused on the mental benefits that derived from it. 2 months later I lost 20 lbs, I feel happier and more energized, I'm glad of being free of that sense of guilt and not once I thought that I was sacrificing myself or forced myself with workout and food I don't enjoy. Life is already hard as it is, lifetime habits should be as effortless as possible.

Does anyone here eat basically the same thing everyday?

34F, 5’4”, SW: 168, CW: 159, GW: 135-140

I started tracking and CICO a little more than a month ago. I’m down about 10 lbs, which is really encouraging, but I haven’t lost anything at all in close to two weeks.

I’m finding it much, much easier to just eat the same thing everyday, or almost the same thing, rather than eating a wide variety of meals. As soon as I try incorporate something different, not only do I usually end up adding calories, it also kind of makes me forget that I’m trying to maintain a calorie goal, and I end up less likely to stay within my limit.

Everything I’ve read states that variety is the key to successful weight loss, because you’re less likely to feel deprived, but I think I must be the exception to that rule.

Are others out there like me? I’d love to hear from someone who might have been doing this for longer than I have.

I can't believe how out of shape I am

43f 5'5" 226lbs. I just returned home from vacation and am utterly disappointed in myself. I went on a moderate level 3.5 mile hike and a separate 25 min steep 1/2 mile hike to reach some zip lines during my vacation. I was so out of breath on both of them. I had to stop and take so many breaks. Summer 2020 I was hiking everywhere without issue. Even? though I have been obese for some time , I've always been able to be active and keep up with my kids and others. This was so embarrassing for me. I'm contemplating weight loss surgery now. Ugh. I just really need to get this weight off.

What was your catalyst for change?

A weird but welcome NSV

https://imgur.com/gallery/91mUqJQ So my weight loss journey has been going on for just over a year now. It's going pretty well. Got some good habits going strong, including vigorous exercise. I have started jogging now and I'm enjoying it. According to my Fitbit, my cardio fitness has gone from poor to average and I'm pretty happy about it. But today I was procrastinating and scrolling through Reddit for a while. I also have a refrigerator that makes spooky rhythmic "haunted" sounds. So while I was sitting still for an unusually long period of time, my Fitbit detected my heart rate at below resting heart rate and decided I was asleep. I was confused when looking at the dashboard because I didn't nap and I especially didn't snore, but my Fitbit stats said "snore report" for the time I was sitting still. So that was weird but I'm very happy with the improvement in my cardio fitness.

How likely is it that my TDEE is wrong?

I've heard that your sedentary TDEE is supposed to be fairly accurate but after a year of weight loss I just don't think mine is.

At 5'7 and 176 lbs, my sedentary TDEE is now supposed to be 1909 cals, but I am active (probably lightly active) so it should be more than that. So I should lose 1+ lb a week eating 1400 cals, but I never have. I have the happy scale app and there hasn't been even one week that I've gone down a whole pound, it's more like 0.6-0.7 lbs a week according to my app.

I've been counting my cals every day for quite a while with a food scale and I feel pretty confident that I'm doing it accurately. Is my TDEE being inaccurate a possibility?
