@7007_101 I do 1200 or less! It's different depending on height, but I'm pretty tall and burn easily. My resting metabolism is around 1400, and I end up burning about 1800 a day, but 1200 is a deficit for pretty much anyone who's getting up and doing anything. It's not so scary.
10: Take "aesthetic" photos of meals when they feel very mealspo. This will help me keep going and inspire me to stick to my plan. I'll post those on here and log some updates on my journey.
