It’s not like a specific diet, I’m using MacroFactor which is a paid app that adjusts your calorie and macro goals weekly based on your food log (so it compensates for if you didn’t follow their recommendation) and your weight change, so each week the calorie goal is adjusted. I set mine to high protein low carb, but not like keto low carb, I still eat bread and rice and stuff, I just prefer to eat slightly higher fat. And I honestly don’t care if I hit my carb or fat goals, I’m just trying to hit my protein goal and stay below/at my calorie goal.

I haven’t used it long enough to say with 100% certainty that it works, but it was recommended to me by a coworker who’s been using it for a long time. I will say, it assumes your maintenance calories are on the higher side when it starts (it gave me 2300 based on age/weight/activity), so when it suggests your maintenance calories I think there’s an option to say “that doesn’t look right”, so maybe you can adjust your starting point. I didn’t choose that option so I’m not sure what it says when you say no, it doesn’t look right.

Sad news -- the countdown to pregnancy sit looks to be officially dead 
I guess I should have kept old pics in a folder somewhere else. I know they're tucked into this thread somewhere but goodness 2,474 pages....that's a lot to sift through lol

Awww boo. That’s too bad 
people just don’t use those sites like they used to. I feel like they just go to the pregnancy side of instagram and TikTok instead. Also, while I don’t use TikTok, the pregnancy/childbirth side of instagram can be informative, but it’s not like a real community. At least on forums we’re actually talking to each other and nobody is revered as an influencer, we’re all just people. People have traded in community for consumption on social media. I’m guilty of it too, not judging anybody, just stating the problem. Sometimes I just want to delete social media off my phone, but I get all my news from social media 
and pics of people’s babies (like people I went to school with). I want to see when people have kiddos. I feel like that’s what social media was supposed to be originally, just people sharing photos and stuff with the people they know in real life, and then celebrities and influencers took over and it’s all just consuming content from strangers instead. I have no hobbies because I just scroll all day. It’s not healthy.
