I’ve lost weight in the past. Lost 95 pounds over two years. The first 1/4 or so of that I was still living with my mom and brother and didn’t have a problem separating my food choices from theirs. The bulk of my weight I lost as I was dating my husband and then us eventually moving in together. He was also in the midst of losing a lot of weight. Well, here we are, three years later, having gained it all back plus more, and we’ve both had so many false starts. I can’t figure out why I keep treating this like a thing we have to do together. I find it so much harder to get started and stay accountable if he isn’t doing it either. I should know by now that this is something I have to do on my own. But it feels so impossible to do. Anybody have this same problem? How do you keep your food journeys separate from someone you are so close and intertwined with? submitted by /u/meltedwhimsy [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/e4as3r/i_feel_codependen...

https://imgur.com/gallery/qtq1ZmM So here are my progress pictures with dates. From most recent to least recent. Why I started to change my body, 2 reasons; The first one was that last summer when I went to go to bed I felt uncomfortable because when I laid down I could feel all this fat ontop of me, I could grip onto it and grab it and I felt absolutely disgusted with myself I decided that it was time to change, the second reason was that anime as silly as it may sound gave me the motivation to actually start working out, seeing how my favorite characters got so ripped, I wanted to be just like that and therefore I took an interest in fitness. How I lost my first 15 pounds; just by being in a caloric deficit and intermittent fasting, I didn’t know what these 2 things meant at the time but somehow I did them without knowledge and my body changed in a matter of a week or 2 I was loosing weight fast like 3 pounds a week fast, (ik this can be unhealthy but my body surprisingly took it...

Hi guys. I rapidly gained a lot of weight, and then I have steadily been gaining for about 3 years. I discovered that I had hypothyroidism a few months ago, and they have continued to up my medicine every few months since then. My school offers free workout classes, and I was attending those at least 4 or 5 times a week. I also attempted to do keto and intermittent fasting. Every time, it really made no big difference. I would lose maybe a pound or two and then it would come right back. I do not know what to do. I feel depressed and gross, and even my boyfriend has told me that he is unhappy with my weight gain as I was quite small when we first got together 4 years ago. I have been to the doctor, and they recommended keto and switching up my workouts. I have done all that I can think of. Does anyone else have a similar experience? I just want to go back to how I was before. submitted by /u/captaintiac [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/e4bhq...

New to getting in shape and Reddit tbf, recently lost 50 pounds via dieting alone and only started the gym recently due to becoming skinny fat, I’ve done research on macros and calories etc and I’m going to try a consistent 2500 calorie diet, I’m a lazy and fussy eater and I’m looking for the fastest way to get my nutrients in, below is what I’ve been eating daily and I’m curious on whether it’s good enough for my goals. Breakfast: 80g Kiwi 120g Clementines 150g Skyr Icelandic Style Yogurt 60g Granola Lunch: 600ml Semi skimmed milk 125g chocolate Huel Dinner: 170g chicken breast 200g wholemeal bread 27g ketchup 18g butter Snacks: 80g kiwi 30g granola 75g Skyr Icelandic style yogurt 200g garden peas MACROS: 283g Carbs 65g Fat 188g Protein 2563 Calories This is what I plan on eating pretty much every day with possible fruit changes and maybe meat changes for a couple months and track progress.

Progress Pics I started my journey a little over two years ago, back in October of 2017. We are now getting closer and closer to 2020, and I am almost there. I am getting closer and closer to my goal weight. Before I started, I had a lot of wake-up calls. Health scare after health scare pushed me into losing weight. It's kind of a blessing in disguise. If none of those scares happened to me, then I would have stayed the way I was. Hell, I might have even continued to gain and gain until something serious actually did happen, and it was too late to make the lifestyle changes. Although unfortunately, the first month or so of dieting was a crash. I ate too little and exercised vigorously. But the number on the scale was dropping, and I thought I was doing fine. But I had an incident one night where I almost collapsed/passed out. I went to the doctor and found out that there was nothing seriously wrong with me, so I must have pushed myself too hard. Going into 2018, I kind of put ...

Losing that weight and making the mid section tight again is scary but it’s not impossible. After having my baby girl I was still left with over 30 lbs of weight that I needed to lose and lots of flabby skin. Looking at myself everyday was painful at times but I didn’t let that discourage me at. I needed to keep fighting the fight for me and my kids. There will be days or weeks where you feel like you haven’t made any progress but you have to remember this journey is a marathon and not a sprint. You must work at it everyday in the gym and nutritional. It took me about 5 months to lost those 30lbs and have my skin look tight again. Yes I still have stretch marks but that’s fine. Develop a short term goal and a long term goal and be realistic with your goals.

I just wanted to share how amazing this scale I bought 6 months ago is. It is the Renpho ES 24M Smart Scale. As well as measuring weight, it also tracks other features like BMI, Visceral Fat and Metabolic age and more. It is all tracked on a smartphone app and you can see your progress over a span of a year. This has genuinely helped me and I would like to share it with you guys. I put in the link below so you can see its further specs but I really recommend this to help aid weight loss! https://renpho.com/collections/body-fat-scale/products/renpho-es-24m-bluetooth-body-fat-weight-scale?ref=y6got1ml2us submitted by /u/KIDCARTI [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/e49ajv/one_of_the_best_scales_ive_used_to_track_my_gains/

I've been an on and off gym goer for so long. I'll go for a few months, not go for a year, go for a month, not go for a few months, etc. They say when it comes to exercise you need to find something you enjoy. I just don't enjoy going to the gym, no matter how many routines at the gym I try. I find it mind-numbingly boring. And also a major hassel. It's why I always eventually end up stop going. I know for both my physical and mental health I should try doing some exercise again, but I think I also need to accept that they gym is probably not going to work for me. What are my other options though? I don't want to be that fat person in the back of group classes-classes are a no. I didn't play sports growing up, and in my limited experience rec sports are all people who played the sport at one point. Same is true for clubs and etc. When the weather is nice I liked taking walks outside. But I live in the Northeast, in an area that gets more snow than other area...

I have been overweight for most of my adult life. I’ve tried soooo many different exercise and diet regimens, but my binge eating takes over at the end every time. And I just can't seem to end the cycle. Does anyone here have experience with medically supervised weight loss? I know there are a lot of different routes that I could take with this, but I’d like to be accountable and try some kind of appetite suppressant to change my habits. I think I need the help of a professional to change my lifestyle and reteach my eating and diet habits. I have a doctor in mind, and I'm going to make an appointment for a consultation. I'm just nervous that it will be a waste of money and nothing with change.

I officially hit 210 lbs again today. I started off this summer at 200 lbs, lost 20 by the end of August, and then gained 30 lbs over the course of this semester. I feel really, really terrible about it--I worked really hard this summer, and I remember how tough it was too lose the weight. Now I'm even fatter than before, and am going to have to go through all of that again (for even longer, now that I have an additional 10 lbs to lose!) just to get there I was. And I wasn't even that happy with my weight then; I felt like I was just getting started and still had more to lose. It's really tough to imagine starting all of that over, and I honestly just want to completely give up. I did so well this summer because I was living in my own apartment and cooking for myself. Once the semester started, I was back at my college with an unlimited mandatory meal plan that sucks up my entire food budget (and more, I'm in so much debt lol). I had to eat all my meals at this terrib...

Hey guys, as the title suggests, I have been on and off eating healthily and sports for probably since I was 13 or so and I am so sick of it. I am so sick of promising myself not to touch any sweets starting (insert next day) because if I even nib on something I will binge 3-4k calories worth of sweets. I am sick of constantly telling everybody to please not pressure me as I am trying to lose weight, and them slowly starting to not believe me. I am sick of counting the calories perfectly for weeks to see minimal results and getting frustrated with myself and binge. I am sick of my face getting swolen and getting more self-conscience the more I gain weight. I have never been this heavy before in my life, I always had a certain number that I would never cross even if I binged my life out but I crossed it. I lost my motivation even though all I really want in life is to be at my goal weight? It is so absurd. If I pushed through 3-4 months I would probably see amazing results but I am j...

My highest weight has been 120 kgs in 2015 and I’ve since tried to lose weight a couple times. The lowest I’ve got to was 106kgs. My latest, and hopefully last attempt, has seen me start at 114.3 kgs in mid September and I weighed in today at 105.7kgs. This is the lowest I’ve been in 5 years and I just feel relief, I think. I just feel that it’s finally working. I’ve managed to properly educate myself this time and I know what I’m doing. I can see the results myself. So, if you’re like me and you’re just seeing new numbers on the scale, let me know what you felt like during this weightloss journey.

I started working out at the beginning of September I was at around 230 pounds, I was getting long winded after walking up 2 flights of stairs. It was getting to the point where I even struggled getting up off the floor. I used to be skinny but I started eating out comfort after a bad break-in, moved got a new apartment and was paranoid about the guy who broke in on me coming after me. Long story short I eat unhealthy and rarely moved around and not doing physical activity, I stayed in my comfort zone just playing games and watching TV. But now that I began working out and changing my diet I'm down to 200 lbs and working towards my goal of 170 lbs. submitted by /u/RogueReader223 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/e475nu/my_weight_loss_journey/

Hello, Im 23 M, around 5’ 8”. Recently I have been hitting the gym regularly and lost a couple of pounds. I was 170 lbs and trying to get down to 153 lbs. I usually just do a 5K five times a week and I try to sneak in some weight training in there. I am noticing that I might be hitting a plateau soon as I am starting to hover around 158 lbs. I just need to lose a couple more pounds and I’ll be fine. The major muscle that I mostly workout are my legs/calves, chest, shoulder, sometimes back, biceps and triceps. I rarely do any core as I don’t feel the need to. Not that I have a six pack but I just don’t feel like it. As for diet, I try to log my food but it doesn’t always work out (ha). I try to get enough protein but because rice is a huge part of my diet, it can be sometimes hard. can someone guide me in the right direction in terms of exercise and diet routine? I just wanna lose these couple of pounds and just maintain from there. Any insights would be helpful. Thanks! submitt...

Y’all. No one irl will understand why this is such a big deal to me so I’m posting it here because I need to get it out. Today I went to brunch with a friend. The place isn’t a chain so they aren’t required to have calories on the menu.. and they didn’t. Fine, not the end of the world. I love waffles so I ordered one and it was and it was fucking delicious. MORE IMPORTANTLY I stopped eating when I was full. Not when I was stuffed...I stopped eating when I no longer felt hungry. I left half that waffle behind. It sat in front of me on my plate for about 30 minutes while my friend finished her meal. I don’t think I’ve ever not finished my plate at a restaurant. Part of that is because I’m paying for it and feels wasteful (in more way than one) to throw out the rest. Or, if the person I’m with is still eating I’ll keep picking at my plate until they’re done. I know this is how normal people eat all the time but I’m proud of myself. Knowing that I CAN do this makes me realize that I ...

I've been studying all day and I really wanted to go all out and buy $30 worth of gluten free bakery goods (cupcakes, cookies, cake, etc). I didn't. Instead, I treated myself to chipotle and a pint of halo top.

My highest weight was 195 (20F 5'5), I was so close to 200. Now I am 185. I just want to lose 15 lbs by 2020 and I will make it my goal. Baby steps. I am committed to changing my lifestyle.

So I've struggled with being overweight through a pretty significant portion of my life. Highschool through college, and now in my working life. During college I made a few attempts to lose weight one of them actually being very succesful and losing around 30lbs! However I kept putting my health amongst other things on hold to pursue my education. After I finished college I focussed myself fully on losing weight and managed to drop about 50lbs through healthy changes to my diet and frequent excersice (about 3/4 trips to the gym every week with a mix of cardio and weight training). A few months ago I got my first job and I've been noticing that I hardly go to the gym anymore and my diet has become absolutely horrible. Due to those changes I've also gained back about 7 lbs. I'm about 100% sure I'm not the only person who's experienced something like this. Does anybody have some advice on gaining some balance of frequent trips to the gym, healthy meals, and als...

I know the BMI scale can be a poor representation of fitness because it doesn't account for muscle mass, but it my case I think it holds some significance - I'm currently 20 and have been overweight my entire life, even obese for some time. I distinctly remember a doctor's appointment I had when I was in the fifth grade, where the scale shockingly read 158 lbs [5' 0"]. I hit my growth spurt very early on and haven't grown much since, but seeing that number scared the shit out of me. It was an eye opener. Since then, I've become more and more conscientious of what I eat, and have recently started to be even more increasingly focused on my health. College has helped immensely, and I am now currently almost 140 lbs [5' 3"], a weight I haven't seen since I was literally 10 years old. I feel like I've taken a body that has ruled me for so long and have finally fought back:) Edit: Thank you the silver kind stranger! <3 submitted by ...

I went past the 200 mark the first time ever. I was 208. I was shocked and sad because I didn’t go on the scale years prior but I’m happy I did because I didn’t realize how big I was getting until I faced my fear. That motivated me. 3 weeks later and I’m 202 from lifting weights, cardio and eating a smaller amount of calories. I lost 6 pounds and I could cry because I although I never thought I was THAT big, I wanted to loose weight for years prior and I would give up fast. I fucking started! And I am SO ready for this.

Hi!! I have a couple of questions to ask. I'm a 17F (as you probably saw in the title) and I want to try to lose some weight before I graduate at the end of May. 1) How do you guys find recipes to make? I'm mostly focused on lunch and breakfast, as I have no control over dinner most of the time. I need recipes that can be made in a short time and don't have to be reheated, as I'd be taking them to school for lunch. I drive myself to school, so I'm not really concerned with breakfast taking a long time. I am an absolute beginner cook, however, so that's another problem I have. 2) Do you recommend any fitness apps that don't need a subscription? literally every fitness app on the Appstore has ludicrous subscription fees that I, as a teenager with a minimum wage job, cannot pay for, and it sucks. If you don't use apps, how do you recommend starting to exercise? I'm also an absolute beginner at that (Sorry, I'm an absolute beginner at most of this...

So I'm 31F, 166cm/65kg (5'5, 143.3lb), started on September 15 at 75kg (165.3lb). I looked at myself in the mirror and decided it was ENOUGh. I quit alcohol cold turkey, stopped eating anything even remotely fun (sugar, sweets, pizza, fried food, etc, you get the idea), kept under 1200 kcal every single day even if I worked out (hiking uphill, weight lifting), and even though on most days I lay wrapped in a blanket on the floor, bawling my eyes out because I wanted a cider and a pizza and a ton of cake, I never caved. Some days I even ate under 1000kcal. Not the safest or healthiest of weight loss but I was really really really determined to fit into smaller pants by the time my birthday rolled around and I managed to do it. I dropped down to 63 kg (138.9 lbs) by November 11, and I couldn't have been happier. My old clothes fit again, my pants don't hurt anymore and I don't feel repulsed by what I see in the mirror. ​ BUT - then I had a sort of a breakdown mid ...

I'm having a very hard time mustering up the motivation to loose weight even though I hate how I look and I know its unhealthy. I currently work overnights doing 12 hour shifts, when i come home the last thing I want to do is exercise. The next day I feel like all I want to do is rest and I'm exhausted. I put on a lot of weight in a very short amount of time a little over 10 years ago because of medication and it never came off even though the meds have been long stopped. I'm 5'0", so have a crappy short frame where everything just compacts and could probably loose 100lbs...I use to be very active and fit and about 115lbs. I'm just looking for some help or motivation, it's hard to even get started.

The last time I was within the "normal" weight range for my height was when I was 13, and then puberty hit me like a ton of bricks. (I'm mid 30s now, but no taller, alas). After chipping away these last five years to lose 40 pounds, I finally hit my goal weight! To celebrate, I tried on a pair of jeans that I'd long ago outgrown but always remember were so flattering that I could not get rid of them. I had literally kept this pair of jeans and dragged them around with me for YEARS "for when I lost the weight." The good news: they fit comfortably. The bad news: they're low-rise, boot cut! The last time I was the size I am now was approximately 2002. They are hideous.

I've really been dedicating myself over the past couple weeks to counting calories and being conscious about food. Took the day off for Thanksgiving to just enjoy, but it actually ended up bringing my estimated daily calories to 1500 which isnt bad at all! (Cutting is 1200, 5 foot sedentary F). This morning I had cereal with milk and measured it while he had thanksgiving leftovers. I was eyeing the Tim Tams on the table and he encouraged me to have one to ease my way out of thanksgiving, and I ate it because hey, I can definitely fit that in. Went through the day eating normally, and then we went out. There was a special release at a brewery near me and we stopped in. I didnt really realize it at the time, should have been paying attention, but I drank about 20 oz of dark beer from all the tastings. We started talking about dinner and he asked how many calories I had left and I estimated around 500 but gestures at beer should probably go home and eat something light. He waved h...

A member at derby practice mentioned I was looking great, and that my face seemed thinner than the last time she saw me. Felt great to finally have other people noticing what feels like the slowest progress. The comment was about a week ago and I've been eating like garbage since. My eating habits have even begun to intrude on other improvements I've been making such as my sleep and gym routine. I KNOW a lot of it is emotional eating bc I've been paying a lot more attention to my body and hunger cues. There's likely something else that I just don't seem to notice that got me stuck in this loop... but I truly feel like (what was meant to be) the compliment made by my teammate triggered to subconsciously self sabotage?

So I'll fully admit to being an over thinker and maybe having a little pit of natural paranoia in me. I think it's those qualities that make me think about this question: how do we know that we're actually losing fat? I'm closing in on 80 lbs lost this year but honestly I still have a LOT of fat on me and frankly I'm no convinced that I've lose that much fat since I began. My clothes have gone down sizes but I still feel and look huge despite the big loss. So realistically of the ~80 lbs I've lost, how much fat actually is that? How do I know I've actually been losing fat for the last 10 months and not just water or something else? I'm kinda' paranoid I've been doing this all wrong. submitted by /u/chrisd848 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/e3p53e/how_do_we_know_its_fat_were_losing/

Yesterday I hit 163 pounds which was the lowest I’ve ever been as an adult. I hit this 2 years ago, then proceeded to have a 2 week vacation and gain 10 lbs which spiraled into even more gaining, of course. April 2018 I was 195 and found out I was pregnant. Day before my son was born in December 2018 I was 255. It was hard after having lost so much weight to get up to that point but I was SO DETERMINED to get back down. My son is 11 months old today and I lost all 60 pounds of baby weight PLUS 32 more pounds!!!! I spent almost the whole time just doing CICO slash lazy keto slash 16:8 IF here and there. Currently I’m adding carbs in again to battle some other eating issues which is working out great for me. I feel like a badass when I think of it, even though I’m still nowhere near my goal body/weight/fitness level. Lots more to go, but baby, the only fuckin way to go is down from here. submitted by /u/cinnydolce [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/co...

Since moving back, I've been rock climbing about four days a week, going to core class three times a week and TRX class once a week. I thought that by now, I'd be losing weight. Wrong. I am now 174 pounds as of 11/29/2019. This is the highest I've ever weighed. Obesity runs in my family, and I'm trying to not succumb to the pattern. I want to feel great like I used to just a year ago. I want to be healthy, mentally and physically. I need advice on if this is a good idea on how to continue...

It's been a few months since I've worked out and today I went back to the gym. I can see myself starting to slip in several aspects of my lifestyle improvement, and I'm starting to see through my own excuses. School and work are stressful but working out makes that stress go away for a time, so why stop doing it? I spend 8-10 hours a day at school/work, but how is an hour each day "too much time"? You can't afford to spend money on entertainment- I can't even remember the last movie I saw!, but you can justify buying fast food all the time? I'm changing just about every other aspect of my life, but why can't I change my weight/lifestyle? Good questions to ask myself as I'm getting back on the horse. Thanks for being a great diary, reddit.

Hi there I’m a 5’4 male that went from 210 pounds to 145 lbs (which is pretty bad compared to other journeys) after losing weight I still look like a disgusting pig who is very wide and still has man boobs. Comparing myself to the other kids it allowed me to open my eyes how little progress I’ve made and I feel like I wasted my time as I’m not as thin as those kids. I post this here because I’m worried I did something wrong in my journey or that I’m just still overweight. P.S if you’ve seen this post before I’m very sorry for the repost, a bot informed me that I posted it in the wrong area so please let me know so I can delete as well. Please and thank you. submitted by /u/fatloser912764 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/e3nyhf/still_look_disgusting_after_losing_weight/

I've been overweight since I can remember, but since the beginning of 2019, my mindset with my health and well-being changed. I lost about 40 lbs this year, going from the 180s to 140s in a span of few months through healthier eating, counting calories, working out, and fasting. I've tried to lose weight in the past, but this year was when I actually took it seriously. And I felt great! My self esteem and confidence has never been higher in my entire life in the beginning. However, I slipped into disordered eating and body dysmorphia. I became obsessed with counting calories and restricting less than 1000 calories everyday while also working out 3-4 times a week. Losing weight and the feeling of control was I all I could think about everyday. I attempted purging several times. I felt like I had so much control over my life. I ended up in the ED Instagram community and subreddits. I felt miserable, but I also had so much control and power over my life. My low restriction even...

I was a heavy weight kid, always tried to diet and always failed. Last school year, I naturally lost like 20 when I got my first job. Was fine with that, was happy with my weight. (Probably 160, 5’2”) but randomly got a kick this summer and lost another 20. I’m 142 now, and have been for 3 months. Problem is, my goal weight is 115-120. I’ve been stagnant for months and am afraid I’ll stay this way. I was okay with my body until I started intentionally dieting, but since that I’ve been insecure again and am afraid I’ll never loose it and remain insecure. I’ve been going to the gym every morning, but my eating has been bad. Today I brought turkey to work, and decided I’m doing this. My coworkers knows I’m trying to loose weight, as well as my family. I’m just afraid I’ll fail once again. I really hope I don’t, and I’m really gonna try to stay on track like I did to loose the 20 pounds I did a few months ago. Anyone relate to this? I just wanna be done with this weight issue, done with j...

Background: I have a history of disordered eating (restriction as a teen but then mostly binge eating). I started counting calories young, but it got out of hand and became obsessive. I’ve gotten through most of that, but... To this day (20 years later, I’m in my 30’s now), I find it very difficult to count calories, or more accurately, to stay under a calorie limit. I’ve downloaded MFP dozens of times, but then deleted it, because I can NOT for the life of me stay within my calorie budget when it’s sitting there in front of me - even setting a very generous one. My TDEE is around 1600-1700 (female, 5’6”, 155 pounds, sedentary, standard office job though I walk to and from work every day and exercise lightly 3 times a week on my short shift days) so I’ve tried setting my limit to 1500, 1600, even 1700 thinking maybe it’s underestimating for me - still go over it. But for some reason, I don’t have the same reaction to overeat when I’m not facing the calorie limit number. I actually s...

Hi everyone, My girlfriend who I live with and I were watching a show last night and snoring came up and I jokingly said to her I don't snore right. We laughed and then a few moments later she then kinda made a cute guilty face and said "Actually you snore much noticeably less than you did a couple of months ago". This was pretty unexpected because I only thought of my own pros and cons with weight loss but it made me feel pretty good about it, as helping my partner sleep better is a great victory for me (I always fall asleep first!). For reference I've lost about 35 pounds - 18 kgs over the last 3 months or so. I've achieved this mainly by IF - 2 days of under 600 calories a week and 5 normal days. As of a few weeks ago however I started calorie counting a most of non fasting days as I had started to develop a habit of overeating on those days and it was creating a plateau, I try to keep those days to 1800 calories or less, which for me is still according to M...

(Buckle up, this is a long post... I’ve never talked about this with anyone other than myself) Hey! I’m 16F and my whole life I’ve struggled with weight. Ever since we went on winter break this year I’ve done nothing but stuff my face with food 24/7 and lay in bed, and ever since I was a child, my family insisted on stuffing me more and more, which resulted in my current self not knowing how to control this. I weight just below 200 lbs and I’m just 5’6. My BMI is prove that the issue is spiraling out of control. I am, in all the meanings of the word, obese, and it is eating me out... haha. I’m aware my situation is not as extreme as others, but I also know that if I keep up this disgusting lifestyle I’ll end up even more miserable. Throughout my teen years I’ve tried to go on these diets and pills that would supposedly help me get to a healthy weight, but I’ve never been able to stick to those or even be aware of all the shit I’m eating, at least not until later. I’ve even tried to ...

Hello losers, I hope you've all had a fabulous Friday! Weight by end of month (217 - 214 lbs, preferably trend weight): No weigh in this morning, 217.7 trend weight. Stay within calorie range: I'm thinking a big salad with leftover turkey or ham in it, looking okay so long as I keep out of the stuffing leftovers. 19/26 days. Exercise 5 days a week: I need to get after it blergh. 20/29 days. Limit purchased coffee drinks (3 a week), if exceeded, $25 donation: Needed a peppermint mocha today, feeling festive.

Write 1,700 words a day for Nanowrimo, finish or $100 donation: TBD! Still chasing the goal! Gotta keep chasing it. Try a new recipe once a week: I've made hummus from dry beans, chicken tortilla soup, a roasted spaghetti squash dish, a navy bean stew (which I have decided to call bean goop...

I’m 19f, am 5’6 and I weigh 155 pounds , making my BMI 24.9, the absolute highest healthy weight for my height. I want to lose weight, but I also want to know if I’m okay health wise staying the size I am now, or if there’s risks associated with my current state. I’m not very active in my daily life (I walk 2-3 miles a day and bike about the same, but no exercise that elevates my pulse) but my fitness levels are fine (healthy range but not like good) as tested in my phys-ed class. I’m built very unproportionally, and carry almost all of weight in my chest and hip-thigh area, my measurements being 39-27-40. I don’t know if my fat distribution affects my health status? I’d like to lose 30 pounds over the next 6 months and end up around 125 pounds. Would this be okay? And is it even medically necessary? submitted by /u/WilmaVilma [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/e3mqfh/sedentaryish_teenager_do_i_need_to_lose_weight/

Today is your Day 1? Welcome to r/Loseit ! So you aren’t sure of how to start? Don’t worry! “How do I get started?” is our most asked question. r/Loseit has helped our users lose over 1,000,000 recorded pounds and these are the steps that we’ve found most useful for getting started. Why you’re overweight Our bodies are amazing (yes, yours too!). In order to survive before supermarkets, we had to be able to store energy to get us through lean times, we store this energy as adipose fat tissue. If you put more energy into your body than it needs, it stores it, for (potential) later use. When you put in less than it needs, it uses the stored energy. The more energy you have stored, the more overweight you are. The trick is to get your body to use the stored energy, which can only be done if you give it less energy than it needs, consistently. Before You Start The very first step is calculating your calorie needs. You can do that HERE . This will give you an approximation of your ca...

I’m currently a 24 year old 5’10 male weighing in at around 320lbs. I get tired walking upstairs, can’t last to long in bed with my girlfriend, and had to buy new clothes because I’m too big for anything I own. I eat a lot of fast food and don’t work out. Now that I have faced the truth that I continually try to ignore, this next year is going to be different. I’ve heard time and time again that it takes 21 days to form a habit, so going into a new I hope to have a habit of cleaner eating and a workout routine that I can do both at the gym or at home when I don’t have time to go to a gym. With the semester ending, I don’t have an excuse not to go to the gym after work now. My first goal weight it to reach the 250-260 range. I wanna buy new clothes what I have now is to big not the other way around. I wanna not be winded after short walks and feel confident in my body. I’ve been ghosting this sub for a while but I decided to become active since Thanksgiving is over and the new year i...

Hey folks! I've recently started CICO, I'm 224lbs and 5"4. The issues I'm having is I'm not quite sure what calorie deficit I should be at. I work out three times a week, I don't have anyway to keep count of the calories with that, but I always do an hours swimming, strength and cardio over those three days, it's the only time I have spare so I make it work. I also walk on average 10,000 steps a day, sometimes a lot more sometimes less but I am able to track the calories for that. I'm potentially losing over 500 calories a day if those steps and all that stuff that says you are losing that go with it are true. I'm struggling with working out what I should be eating towards and then what I should be working off. I started with 1700 calories and I know you can be eating too little although I don't think I am. I would really appreciate some help. I am not finding tracking my calories or changing my eating habits hard, I'm just struggling to...
