Lumen -👍🏻 or 👎🏻?

Who has used the Lumen device? Is it a helpful tool? What does it help you with? What are the pros of this device? What are the cons of this device? Is this device helpful only for/during weight loss or after weight loss to maintain a constant weight. HOW has the device helped YOU?

I am on a weight loss journey right now and am wondering if this device will be able to help me. I am curious as to whether it is best for making better food choices, knowing when it is best to eats foods, or other things that I may not be aware of. I am wondering if this will be helpful during the weight loss journey or even after when I am trying to sustain my new weight.

BMI below 30

Hi everyone,

I’m Amber, 31, 5’2”, and currently 178 lbs (BMI ~33.5). I have a fertility appointment on January 9th, and I’ve been told they can only start me on ovulation meds (Clomid/Letrozole) if my BMI is under 30.

That gives me just seven weeks to lose about a stone and a half. I know that’s a lot in a short time, but this feels really important and I’m desperate to give myself the best chance.

If anyone has managed rapid but safe weight loss, or has tips, routines, or anything that helped you hit a similar goal, I would be so grateful. I’m honestly open to any advice right now.

Thank you so much 💛

Losing Over Half of My Body Weight Did NOT Help

I'm a 35(f), and over the past 2 years I've gone from almost 300 pounds to about 135-140. I am so beyond thrilled with my physical results from the weight loss, but I was expecting more of my life to change and be different... unfortunately, it's really not. I initially wanted to lose weight to feel better and get healthier, but then I noticed that people, especially men, started taking more of an interest in me as I lost weight. I thought "wow! What a great side effect! I might be able to find a boyfriend now!" SO WRONG. I have had MORE trouble finding a significant other than I ever did when I was almost 300 pounds. I don't know what the problem is, because I initially thought it was the weight. I had even dated guys who told me if I lost 20-30 pounds they would consider dating me, back when I was heavier. Now... now I can't even find someone to go on a date with. The handful of dates I have been on have even told me that I look better in real life than in pictures, so I'm really not sure what the issue is. I'm not ugly, by any means, but I'm not a Disney princess either. I'm getting so frustrated, I'm about to say eff it and go back to being fat, miserable, but at least not alone.

Has losing weight not been what you thought it would be? Did you find it easier or harder to find a significant other after losing weight?

Clothes are getting tight. Perma food-baby feel. Went back to the gym today

Normally I yo-yo. Play sports spring/summer/fall, put it all back on over winter. This year while i did play sports, i wasnt pushing myself so the weight loss was minimal, had no problem eating too much of course

Now noticing my clothes feeling tight/having to switch to chunk wardrobe, always feeling kinda full, out of breath and heart racing way too easily. Also watched a video comparing BMI from 50% down to 5%, and based on that I'm around 35%. Not happy with that, i saw the guy at 20% and thought yep that'll work.

Anyway I went straight after work no excuses, no time to get high and lazy, pushed myself for some cardio because im planning on doing soccer next year. Wish me luck on the journey y'all

165lbs 5 foot 2 female wants to lose 2 stone - any advice please?

Hey everyone, I’m very new to the weight loss journey but am looking for some advice if anyone would be able to help me please :)

For context I am F19, 5 foot 2 and used to weigh 171lbs at the start of October 2025, now midway through November, I’m 165lbs. This was through a combination of lowering my calorie intake and walking.

However my aim is to lose a further 2 stone by the beginning of March 2026. I’m really struggling to identify what my calorie intake should be as all the sources are saying different things. I don’t really exercise that much - the prospect of going to a gym terrifies me, I can just about jog 1km, the only thing I do is walk anywhere between 2 and 5 miles per day.

From a calorie perspective, does anyone have any advice on how I can reach my target please? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also any advice on how to subside chocolate cravings too please?

Thank you :)

TLDR: F19 165lbs wants to lose 2 stone, calorie intake advice needed please

Anyone else HATE the updated App?

I am 3 months into my weight loss journey, also trying to lose A1C from 5.7 prediabetes level so tracking carbs, fat and calories. I am down about 17 lbs since Aug 1 and flirting with “onederland”. I loved the LoseIt App and being able to just scroll and see macros for each ingredient in a meal. New app sucks for this! I can find the info but really have to dig. I did figure out how to chose the 3 things I wanted to display. And I think I know how to look at categories on dashboard and select today to see meals, but still it’s a PIA!

Learning to eat food for enjoyment again

I’ve been sticking with a very bland, 'clean', boring diet for the past couple of years, and it helped me reach my goal weight. But now that I’m maintaining, I’m realizing how hard it is to let myself enjoy food again. I saw a recipe with peanut sauce today and my immediate reaction was “no, I can’t have that,” and it honestly made me sad. It made me realize how much I’ve cut myself off from enjoyable foods — things like using oil, sauces, and buying fun grocery items. It hit me that my habits might be drifting into obsessive.

How do you relax after being restrictive for so long? Weight loss feels so tough at every stage because we’re always fighting for a balanced mindset.
