Hi everyone, today I finally hit my GW of 115 lbs. I’m so happy about it! I l’m 5’3” and I was originally stuck at around 120-122 lbs for years despite wanting to go down to 115 but I guess I was never disciplined enough. Fortunately for me, the quarantine has made it a lot easier to finally shed some lbs because it’s removed the temptation of going out for food/drinks. Since I’ve been making food at home for every meal, it’s been easier to weigh my food and count calories for every meal. I’ve also been using the lose it app to tell me how many calories I should be eating, which for the past couple of months has been around 1280.
Now that I’ve updated my weight in the lose it app, it’s calculating my daily calorie allowance as 1770. Although I’m thrilled at the prospect of being allowed to eat 500 more calories a day to maintain my current weight, I’m concerned that maybe this number is too high? Idk, maybe it’s just because I’ve gotten used to being satisfied on less than 1300 a day lol. I would consider myself lightly active, I usually walk a couple of miles a day but since I’m under lockdown I don’t get any more exercise than that. I’m really trying to keep the weight off so I don’t want to fall into a trap of thinking it’s okay for me to eat almost 2000 calories a day and end up gaining again. Has anyone successfully been able to maintain eating 500 more calories a day?
