Hopefully you’re being sarcastic and you’ll just stop “contributing” to my threads.
Not sarcastic at all: I am happy you are doing the things that help you meet your goals. I have no reason to employ sarcasm with you. It’s the rhetoric of cowards.

I guess my first question would be…
How long have you been tracking? Days? Weeks, months?
This is not a quick process. To lose the weight you want to lose it’s going to take a year -ish if you want to drop 1 lb a week. If you are looking to just drop scale weight realistically it will take minimum 6 months if you arent crash dieting.
Weight loss is not linear either - btw.
Yeah I’m not expecting it to be quick I just started the dieting been lifting for several months but was overeating and it caused weight gain.
So in the amount of time it took to “gain” that weight…you’re looking at 1.5 to 2 times that amount to lose it…and it will not be quick or easy.
I’m speaking from experience.

I agree with you. It’s going to take time and I’m not expecting it to drop off right away.
How many steps do you walk a day? How much cardio?
If it’s 20-30k steps a day NOT including cardio, I’d personally disagree with @T3hPwnisher abiut “not being active “
I’m not discussing that anymore. You want to say I’m sedentary when I’m doing more than 99% of other people then be my guest.
The best advice I’ve seen…and finally started utilizing myself is to eat how you normally would for 2 weeks…tracking everything. Then after two weeks subtract 250-500 calories…do that for 4 weeks and track your scale weight, see how things are going. If you are consistently losing then stay that course. Once you stop losing weight for two weeks drop another 200-300 and track again for 2 weeks.
Repeat until you are satisfied.
You gotta be exact though, because even an extra scoop of peanut butter, or one chicken nugget can screw up the process.
Come on now Anna

How many people are active on this forum then? Probably like 1 or 0.
I know. The post felt disingenuous because by that standard, I’d be “sedentary” which is a contradiction to everything else you and others have said about me
You know I’ve had health problems and I might have another supposed to find out today. You guys think you’re clever smart asses but in reality you’re assholes. It’s people like you that ruin this forum for others that are actually cool and want to help others.
@jayinem @anna_5588 this is not a binary thing you are not “sedentary” or “very active”, there is a sliding scale in between that you and 99% of the people on this site occupy.
@jayinem my advice is to follow similarly to @johnson2133 has suggested. Find an approach you can stick with, then monitor and modify slowly until you start to get the desired result.

If I remember right, you started a couple of weeks ago at 220, right?
If that’s correct, you’re doing pretty good.
