I have actually cut back on beer, too. I cut out all weekday drinking and save it for Friday or Saturday


If true, unless you're drinking a 12 pack of dark beer, then this isn't the problem in my opinion.

It isn't a perfect diet, but my goal on the weekends is to stay under 3000 calories


I'm assuming you mean 3,000 calories over the entire weekend, not per day on the weekend?

As far as beer, and you said some Ghost beers. You are looking at around 250 calories per beer. So a 6-pack is about 1,500 calories just on beer alone. You haven't said exactly how much you drink, so I don't know. If you are drinking a 6-pack, maybe start off by cutting it to 4 beers on Friday and Saturday night. Or just eat lower-calorie dishes on the days you drink. If you really enjoy your beer, drink your beer. If you are keeping it to only Friday and Saturday nights, I disagree with others saying you have a drinking problem. I know what a drinking problem really is, and it's not knocking a few beers back on the weekend. I don't drink much nowadays, thankfully. Don't aim for 20lbs, just change your process up more. Maybe you aren't working out enough and just don't realize it.

I have a walking pad and do 20-30 minutes each day, and I work out at home 2-3x a week (up to 40lbs of dumbbells).


Why is it y'all are so opposed to joining a gym and doing actual strength training? A walking pad for 20 minutes a day with that diet and beer consumption?

If you're trying to lose weight, why half arse it? What's the point? Commit and choose your hard, you'll be happy you did

Probably an additional 30-40 tbh. Doesn’t sound like he has a ton of muscle

I just counted everything I ate and figured out how to tailor it to my limits for my goal weight. I didn't do anything special. Eating more protein helped ease the cravings. Haven't had to worry about my diet in almost a decade.

You've already made great progress! Tho before adding more workouts, try tracking your weekend drinks and mixers for a couple of weeks - those calories can sneak up on you.

But I know this can be hard (trust me, I couldn't do it), so another way are the weight-loss injections like Mounjaro. In my case it helped, but everyone's different. If u wanna try I bought mine from Curely

Makes me wonder how the OP is doing though. It's been 9 months or so.

Did he lose that last 20 pounds?
Did he gain the 30 back?
Did he die of liver failure?

How do you like this app ? Do you find the photo function to be pretty accurate?
