Weight Loss for Everyone

So, I have type 1 diabetes. Diagnosed at 10. And like a lot of fat people, I have insulin resistance. Since I started this weight loss, exercise and "fix my relationship with food" journey, I've noticed something I never even considered - it looks like my insulin sensitivity is improving. I'm really strict about weighing out what I eat so I know how much to dose for it (And at the moment I'm on meal replacement bars while some scarring in my stomach from chronic gastritis heals, so my intake is consistent and easy to dose for) and my blood sugar readings are regularly hitting a little below target. Not enough to be dangerous, but enough that when I see my endocrinologist this month, I think we'll be able to adjust my insulin-to-carb ratio we I'm using less insulin, and that's fantastic . submitted by /u/rebootfromstart [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/ex27p6/progress_not_necessarily_weight_but_tangible/

I ate healthy for about a week—lots and lots of fruits and veggies. I was groovin’! Excited about new recipes and bright, flavorful, colorful meals! When I got to day eight or so though, sheesh I just wanted a dang tub of ice cream! And so I went for it! I had that tub of ice cream and then some! Pizza and a bunch of sugary snacks cuz what the heck! The sugar high + the thrill of rebellion was a real rush!! Until... wow, I felt like a real lump on a log by the end of the day. I didn’t feel quite as limber as I had just that morning. I felt bogged down, not as clear-headed and when I looked in the mirror my face looked a little puffier and even my skin looked different. Now, here I am this evening after eating a bunch of veggies today, the stuff I thought I was tired of and wanted to escape from. But I’m feeling light and practically buoyant compared to yesterday. So this is just a note to self out into the great wide internet void that even when I think eating a bunch of wild and c...

I just found this Reddit group and thought I would post because I'm genuinely feeling discouraged. ​ About 3 years ago, I transitioned into bad eating habits. I would have coffee in the mornings, and then have dinner at 4pm (500 calorie intake or so) I would binge during dinner, and this went on for 3 years. I didn't realize I was doing it, and as people began to point it out I began to feel uncomfortable. At the time, I was 83 kg, 5ft 6', and 20 years old. About 2 months ago, I got fed up and started to eat more because everyone was telling me that I wasn't losing weight because of my eating patterns. I started eatting about 900-1200 calories a day. I started off slow. In the last month, I have taken my diet very seriously, I have a well balanced breakfast, fruits throughout the day, and overall healthy meals. I have a cheat day every 2 weeks, just so I don't always feel left out. I now consume about 1300-1400 calories a day. Anyways, when I went to the doctor ...

Hey guys, I’m new to this sub and have been trying to drop from 176 to 155 for a long time but never had the discipline to commit to a deficit for any extended period of time. I’ve made progress this week, Mon-Wed I would skip breakfast, drink lots of coffee at work, then have a meal when I got home around 5 and then a small snack a couple hours later which would net me about 1,400 cals for the day. Yesterday and today I had a breakfast burrito first thing in the morning, and for some reason, this made me extremely hungry and fatigued around the time I got out of work. This made me weak willed today and I caved and now I’m 1,000 cals over my 1,400 allotment :(. Is it normal to not feel very hungry if you skip breakfast and have a normal level of energy until late in the day when you finally do eat? This seems counterintuitive to me, as eating first thing in the morning should make you full of energy and stave off cravings for hours. But it seems like the opposite is true for me; when...

Hi all! For context I’ve been doing really well on my diet - clean eating and I’m training for a half marathon so I’ve gone from 239 to 220 pounds in a pretty short time. My birthday is in a few weeks and it’s tradition for our coworkers to “surprise” the birthday person with treats. I haven’t told any of my coworkers that I’m dieting or training for a race, but I was considering asking them if they would not get me food for my birthday because I’m really trying to stay on track. I don’t want to seem a. Presumptuous or b. Rude, but I also don’t want to feel pressured to eat sweets or refuse them, so I thought saying something like “if you guys were planning on doing anything for my birthday, I’m trying to be super healthy so please don’t feel the need to get me anything.” Still, I’m cringing inside even bracing this conversation. Should I just shut the hell up, accept whatever they give me and quietly trash it later? Lol. submitted by /u/doodlesugie [link] [comments] sour...

Little bit about me then a couple questions. I am about to turn 34, have a wife and 3 very picky eating children. Im prior military and I was in fantastic shape, 5'10 180lbps with a nearly perfect pt score. I have been told that in my family metabolism takes a nosedive in the mid 20's, im not so sure how much of that is accurate but in 2009 I was medically discharged following some shrapnel injuries that left me with a hard time running and a hefty dose of ptsd. I get around ok and can work out it's just running can be painful. Within 2 years of my medical discharge I got lazy and put on 70 pounds. I am currently 260 pounds. Tired of feeling like crap and want to hopefully meet my grandkids one day. My wife and I are both trying to lose weight. She was very successful going keto a couple years ago, Everytime I have gave it a serious go I tend to drop 15 and stall out, also seem to increase my blood pressure and cause agitation. That has more to do with what I was eating ...

First post here so sorry if it's off in any way. tl;dr: was too fat, now too skinny, know when to stop losing weight To preface this I grew up in am unhealthy eating household. We weren't very well off so I grew up eating a lot of the unhealthy cheaper foods. My dad was obese and my mom had a lightning fast metabolism so she would make a lot of foods appeasing to my dad and me and never had to watch her own weight. So biscuits and gravy and pizza and fried foods just all the time, hardly ever any veggies. And I was taught a package of cookies/chips/whatever junk doesnt last more than a night. I was a manchild growing up, at 11 years old I was 5'7 180lbs, I was a huge little kid. We tried a couple diets throughout my childhood, and some of them even worked reasonably well, I remember losing like 20 lbs in 14 days with this one called the idiot proof diet, you'd eat like 3 items (i.e. turkey meat, green beans, boiled eggs) 4 times a day and it was cool. But every sing...

I'm really confused right now I just got taped today for BF% and according to my leadership i'm only 15% body fat but when I did the gas displacement tank test a week ago (which doc claimed to be completely accurate) they said I was 28%. I had a goal at mind to try to reach 12% by the end of the year and have made strides in losing over 70 lb the last 3 years but i really don't know where I stand now in terms of body fat with 2 authorities telling me the exact opposite of each other and wanted to see if I could get some insight. Could the gas displacement tank be way off or is the tape inaccurate(I wasn't sucking in my gut) also when I asked my coworkers about it they say i'm in no way fat. current weight 201 GW 180ish 6ft tall age 22 14.5 in neck 32.5 in waist submitted by /u/longpenisofthelaw [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/eww73k/army_says_im_lean_but_doctor_says_im_obese/

Hi all, I'll try to keep this simple. I'm in the process of losing weight and I am dealing with a sensation of constipation that is giving me anxiety. As a result of reducing carbs, I understand you go less, and the volume is less, but I have a constant sensation of being constipation. I'd describe it as my bowels feel sealed up about three or four times during the day. I have forced myself to ignore it, but it really is bothering me. I go once every morning with a bit of pushing, but randomly throughout the day I have a constant feeling of being sealed up often when sitting or lying down. It kind of feels like I have to go, and I start straining, and nothing happens but a little forced gas. Even before dieting, I only went once a day, so I wouldn't expect to feel this. I had this happen to me when doing keto, but currently, I am eating above keto and eating small amount of sweet potatoes, plain green yogurt, etc. So I'm not sure what's going on. I do eat p...

In november to december, 8 weeks, I lost 14 pounds. I went from 208 to 194. This is the first time EVER I ever successfully lost weight, and I am really proud, but holidays came like Christmas, a birthday, New years and all of that, and kicked me in the ass. Its January 31st now and the good note is I maintained my weight of 194. The bad note is my eating choices are bad again. I just started going back to the gym this week and doing my weight lifting again and I'm killing it, but my food is so hard to control. Exercise is genuinely no problem for me. Food is, and not in the aspect of binge eating. So my issue isn't that I overeat anymore - since I lost 14 pounds in nov/dec, it is easier not to binge - but I find myself making bad choices that kind of mess with me. For example, I had a healthy breakfast today, healthy lunch, but supper comes and I have a small fry and big mac for supper. I do calorie counting and I ate roughly 1400 calories today. Issue is, I'm super hung...

Here’s the message Surprisingly this is the first time I’ve ever received such a hateful message. Thankfully this person decided to attack me at a time in my life where my self-esteem is the highest it’s ever been. Thankfully for me I’ve never had anyone shame me for my body, at least not directly to me. This is the first time I’ve ever experienced this and I’m just surprised at how hateful people can be to someone they don’t even know. It’s even more disappointing that this person clearly knows that I’m working on bettering myself, but went out of their way to discourage me. It’s sad that they have nothing better to do. Yes I still have work to do on myself and my body isn’t quite where I want it yet but I still love the way I look and no one can convince me otherwise. I hope no one else lets messages like this discourage you from your journey. I hope even more that you don’t receive messages or comments like these. submitted by /u/doof18 [link] [comments] source htt...

Had a two-day crazy binge and weighed myself this morning, and I was back at my starting weight which was a number I hadn’t seen there in 1.5 months(+4.5kg). Such a horrible feeling, even though I know I’m bloated all my clothes are tight again and I see no definition. I feel lethargic after eating all that stuff, too.. Not at all energized, when I went to workout today I spent 2x the time I normally spend. Anyways, thankfully I managed to not turn it into an extra day of binge (which is what happened the 2nd day) but ugh it’s so frustrating after having 1.5 months of literally waking up every morning and seeing more and more results. Hopefully I won’t have gained too much when bloating fades...

I started this journey because my physiotherapist told me that if I didn’t do something about my weight then my disk problems were going to put me in a wheelchair. I joined a gym and cleaned out the cupboards a week later and have been living added sugar free for the last year. I was nearly 180kg, and had to start out exercising in the swimming pool to protect my joints. Now I’m keeping up with people half my weight on the cardio equipment. My relationship with food has improved massively, and my marriage is stronger than ever by the teamwork that’s come from my husband and I doing this together. I have a way to go still to get where I want to me, and the weight loss isn’t as fast as it used to be. But this year is the first one I’ve looked back on and felt really good about the choices I’ve made and how I’ve invested my energy and time. I’m so grateful to this subreddit and you awesome people for helping me get started and motivating me to keep going! submitted by /u/Allengi...

I’m nervous about making this post as I am new here, but I feel this will help me. Im 20 years old (Female) 6’0 and weigh 285lbs. I’ve never been at a healthy weight and I want to make a change. I find myself lacking energy most of the time and it’s starting to affect my school work and mood. I have tried to loose weight in the past but the momentum usually only lasts about 2-3 weeks before I give up. Now that i’ve hit 20 I’m regretting all those times I quit, but this time I want it to be different. I want to prove to myself that I can loose this weight if I actually try hard and stay consistent. Hopefully this can motivate me to stay on track. So, if anyone has any helpful words to share please do so.

So I am a classic comfort eater - have been all my life. I weighed 17st 13lbs (251lbs for those who like lbs!) on 1st November - dropped 5lbs up to 12th January. This might come across as a brag post; but I don’t have anyone other than my husband to brag to! Out of curiosity and as a stress reliever for my particularly aspie days (am a lady who is on the spectrum) I tried treadmill running for the first time two weeks ago... Oh. My. Days. The sense of zen - it’s like my brain flicks into neutral and I can space out totally! It’s hardly groundbreaking research but since starting I’ve dropped 6lbs in two weeks! I’ve got 86lbs to go but I’m on my way.

I am an individual who has low self-control, low motivation, and depression/anxiety (the list goes on). I continuously beat myself up when I don’t go to the gym/eat right and my depression makes it so I don’t want to do anything. It’s a viscous cycle and I’m sure it’s a common enough story. So. For me and anyone else blessed with this mind fuckery/mental illness, how do you do it? Everyone’s story is different: What’s yours? How do you stay motivated? (When you don’t even want to do things you enjoy - what works?) When you have given up on yourself, how do you convince yourself that you can actually do it? How do you get yourself out of bed? I guess I am looking for other advice other than the staple answers: ( r/thanksimcured ) - take meds! (Already on them) - you’ll feel so good after working out!

A goal of mine for my year working abroad was to finally lose weight. I have always been overweight since I was a child and have gone through periods of minor success before, but never really got anywhere with it. While I am not sure about my ultimate goal weight (I am thinking somewhere around the 185 range) a major milestone I set was to get under 200 lbs. The blessed Onederland!! I have arrived!! I know that my weight will fluctuate and I am a little cautious until it stays steadily below 200 for an entire week. Even though I just barely dipped below (199.7) I still can't believe I made it this far. Hitting this milestone makes me feel like anything is possible. Across the past 5 months of my most successful weightloss (and from previous attempts) I have learned the following things: Take. It. Slow. You need to make small changes that you can sustain for a lifetime. Start with very small changes and add new ones every week or so. All of it accumulates and you end up accompli...

Anyone here who follows a Whole 30 or Paleo diet (or maybe more accurately lifestyle) along with CICO? I realize they are somewhat different but I’m attracted to these “diets” because of the focus on whole foods and less processed stuff. I deal with chronic illness and pain/inflammation so think it could be beneficial in that regard though I do understand I still should (and intend to) count calories to see real results. I see a lot of posts that seem to immediately shoot down any of these types of diet in favor of just counting calories. Is that just because people try to do it instead of not in addition to it? Or am I missing something negative about these diets? So for anyone who does follow a paleo or whole 30 or similar diet I’d be interested to hear about your experiences or if you noticed any other benefits besides weight loss alone! ETA: to clarify I am curious about those who have maybe loosely followed these guideline but also CICO which is what I would be doing. I’m not...

Hey all, I am 18 year old male,6’4 and 299 pounds. My life is a mess right now and just a couple minutes ago my family just made me realize that I am a loser that will amount to nothing. Let’s do some backtrack... when I was a junior in HS my heaviest was 263 pounds, I started to hit the gym 5 days a week and counting my calories, I would lose a pound of fat a week, I began all this November 13, 2017. In March of 2018 I hit a milestone, I saw myself skinny, my friends everyone around me started saying I was skinny or “did you lose weight?” I weighed in at 241.2 pounds. My excuse back then was that my girlfriend at the time didn’t like me skinny and wanted me over weight... I was in a bad point in my life, I was doing so good but my progress and journey got stopped by a my ex GF. I’m really mad at myself because I think to myself that if I never listened her I’d be so skinny and good looking.. I slowly gained all my weight back until in March of 2019 I realized I weighed in at 270. I t...

Chubby ass face because of high cheekbones? Surgery? I’ve accepted my fate. Because of my high cheekbones, my face will forever “droop” towards my jawline. My round facial features.... I started at 5’10 210lbs with a really fat face. I ended at 5’10 180lbs around 20-22% body fat. My face leaned out a bit but still have a double chin when I bend and my face jiggles when i shake my head quickly (similar to man tits). What do you guys suggest? Surgery? Do I need to lose more weight? Basically my face (above my cheekbone is defined whereas those below seem to be as wide as my cheekbone (although it is squishy) Basically one can say my face is similar to that of a melted candle. It’s getting really depressing as I expected a lot more changes with almost 30+ lbs of weightloss. I still feel unaesthetic and feel like I was handed the bad card genetically. What do you guys think is the best course of action? I am considering saving up for surgery since my bones are smaller than the fat down t...

So, I have been maintaining my weight for over a year now, I have gone through the most impactful year of my life and it has been extremely turbulent. I was -100 in 6 or 7 months, got up to -80 but am now in the middle. I am proud I was able to do that. I have ADHD and motivation is notoriously difficult for us even when medicated. Even with appetite suppression from my Adderall I just didn't have a reason to actually care, as much as it would make my life better I didn't feel like I had anything to fight for until recently. I am big into trauma psychology, this is due to my own severe experience with trauma. It is such an amazing tool for helping others though. I always knew a friend of mine had a terrible past, a horrific one in all honesty. Mine was terrible and in such a hostile environment (on top of a specific traumatic experience) that I would cope with eating. I have autism and was a social outcast, to fill a void I would eat but that would lead to a feedback loop, i...

I have been wanting to post on here the past few weeks but don’t end up posting whatever I write. Firstly I am a 5’3” 25 year old female, mum of two and experiencing severe depression. I have recently started taking a new medication and am planning to see a new psych soon. I have struggled with my weight for the past 7 years and unfortunately hit my new highest weight of 105kg (231lbs). I know how to lose the weight, I’ve done it before but unfortunately something will ultimately knock me down and I lose all progress. Getting out of bed and just getting ready for the day takes a lot out of me mentally. Physically I feel heavy and slow, I’m always tired and I don’t feel like eating. Ultimately, because I don’t eat or want to eat i don’t make myself food. I end up going to the shops and turning to my comfort foods instead, even if I’ve got a perfectly good sandwich or leftovers at home. Yesterday I ended up having half a packet of chips, 600ml flavoured milk, mac n cheese, block of cho...

I’ve been here. I’ve done this before. There was that time I dropped $100 a month on barre classes. (I quit going and lost money) The time I needed to lose weight to fit in my bridesmaid dress for my best friend’s wedding. (I didn’t and had to have my dress emergency altered 4 days before the wedding) I joined that gym two years ago. I started running 4 miles 4 times a week over the summer. November I started counting calories for two days. Ever single time I’ve been motivated and excited and every single time I’ve given up. I can’t even remember why or how I fell back into my terrible eating habits. Here I am again, 3 weeks into my diet and exercising and I’m over the moon. I’ve lost 5 pounds and I feel good. But I’m so terrified two weeks from now I won’t even remember starting a diet in the first place. I want this so bad and I keep telling myself this time will be different. I just want to stick to my word. So reddit...I’m posting here, maybe this will help me feel accountable. I...

I’m a big guy (280lb mainly fat) and I have been feeling really shity about my weight and image, but me being lazy and stubborn I did nothing about it, until, recently my job got us all memberships to Gold’s Gym so I literally had no more excuse to not get fit, its a free membership to me, and I have to drive past it to and from work. Well I started today I pushed myself so hard I threw up. Thank god I made it to the bathroom in time. I legitimately thought that was a dramatization when people would throw up on the biggest loser or other weight loss shows. Because of my insecurities I packed up and left because I was embarrassed, sooo we will try again tomorrow. Any tips on how to get over my insecurities at the gym? Also, should I focus more on cardio or strength? I want to lose my fat but also want to gain muscle...

Pic: https://imgur.com/a/tO6mzCI Hey guys. I'm 22 years old and for the first time in my life, I looked in the mirror and realized that I'm starting to get skinny fat. In the past 6 months, my waist has gone from 32inches to 35inches. I thought that my jeans were shrinking but the reality is that I let my diet go to shit and now I'm paying the price. I'm determined now to lose the belly fat but I'm not sure how to approach it. I've never cut in my life since I've always been skinny. I'm going to start eating at a deficit of -500 calories a day but what I don't know is should I go back to lifting weights or should I start doing cardio?

Hi, I just wanted to share a bit of my story. I’m currently in the midst of what I’m calling my weight loss Odyssey. My heaviest was 415.5 lbs in July ‘19 and now I’m down to about 378 or so. I’ve struggled with my size my entire life. After my parents divorced I used food to handle my emotions. Eventually I became “the fat kid” and needless to say, it was a tough time. I’ve been “trying” to lose weight for about as long as I can remember. I remember being in maybe 4th grade and “sweatin’ to the oldies”. In 8th grade, after a move closer to some family, my cousin, who decided she wanted to set me up with her friend, and realized I’m not quite her friends type, encouraged me to spend an hour “working out” and drinking a ton of water so I “peed the weight out”. As I grew into an adulthood, I grew into morbid obesity. I’ve done a lot of different things. I’ve tried hypnosis, I tried a very strict diet that I ended up passing out on from lack of nutrients, I’ve done Atkins, I’ve done the ...

I was hoping if I could get experiences and opinions on class pass? I am approaching new territory with my weight so I was hoping to start adding in exercise in addition to cutting. I was hoping if I could get tiers that people have started on, regiments that people seem to enjoy and whether it was worth the money. I figured rather than antagonizing about which gym to join, I could try it all until I find something I enjoy. I do a little over 10,000 steps a day during the week. My apartment gym is small but I didn’t want to just stick to cardio. The free month ends soon and I don’t know if I want to bite the bullet just yet - partly coz I haven’t reached my next goal yet.

Im so overwhelmed by the many conflicting pieces of information these days. Basically I’m looking for science-based weight loss recommendations that are not fad diets and sustainable long term weight loss, where I can maintain a balanced diet. While I’m here at this fitness retreat for the next 35 days I would like to lose 5-7 kgs. I’m a 28 year old female, weighing 80 kgs and I’m currently sitting at 39.7% body fat (in the red zone). No visceral fat (in the green) and a healthy muscle mass (also in the green). My BMR (Basal Metabolism Rate) is apparently 1472 and DEE (Daily Energy Expenditure/sedentary) is at 1766. 1 year ago at this same fitness retreat, it was recommended to maintain 1200 calories per day, a 10km walk and 1-2 classes, plus 100g of protein. This was for a 28 days program. Upon completion (following guidelines - give or take) I lost almost 5 kgs. I’m now at this fitness retreat where all my meals/snacks are provided (unlimited options to choose from) and the menu...

I apologize for my English, its not my first language. I have been trying my best to lose weight, but I keep falling off the wagon. I told my friends earlier that I was going back on my diet tomorrow, and my husband just snickered. When I asked him why he did, he said, "because you always say that" and didn't want to argue. I am morbidly obese, suffer from Bulimia and am 4"11 with PCOS. I have been trying my best to stay optimistic, but its so hard. I am testifying against my father in March for sexual abuse I endured as a child. I am seeing a therapist about it, and am on multiple prescriptions for my PCOS. I dont know what to do. I dont know how to "eat" properly. Growing up as a kid, my father always bought TV dinners and bags of McDonald's burgers. I cant see a dietician as they cost a lot to see. I need some help and motivation. submitted by /u/Im-sorry0wut [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/ewfmtm/ad...

I'm on the shorter side and I used to weigh over 250lbs. Nobody noticed I lost any weight until I dropped to 215lbs but it was only a few people. Then once I dropped to 200lbs, that's when everyone noticed. It took around 50lbs for it to be very evident. Now I am down to 165lbs and everyone has been complimenting and pointing out my most recent loss which is only 10lbs! I can even really feel the difference myself! My BMR is lower, losing weight is much harder, I have to make a lot more effort, things have naturally slowed down etc. BUT one of the perks of getting closer to my goal weight is that smaller loses do make bigger differences!! For example, I didn't go down a dress size until I lost 40lbs! Now I have dropped another dress size with my most recent 15lb loss. It's great :) submitted by /u/throwinst [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/ewf3s6/im_finally_at_a_weight_where_10lbs_makes_a/

Hey reddit I need some help I'm a 5,7 29 year old male and my whole journey started August 25th I got on the scale and I hit my heaviest. I've been 260 ever since high-school and when I got on the scale I weighed 278. People told me I didn't look that fat that I wore it well but I was always depressed and had self confidence issues. So I said enough is enough and I started dieting and go to the gym I went to the gym everyday counted my calories to the point I was eating under 2000 calories I was doing cardio every day and weight training 3 times a week. Fast travel to now its been 5 whole months and I've lost 60 pounds doing dumbell training running on the treadmill counting everything I ate. I've had to change things up with weight training and what not currently I go to the gym and work out a hour and half each day I do dumbell trading 4 times a week with 30 minutes of cardio and on the other days I do 60 minutes of cardio and Sunday is usually a rest day. I weig...

I hit my highest ever weight of 115kg (253.5lbs) when I was 19. I decided I had to fix it, and so over the next year and a bit I worked my ass off, watched what I ate, and worked to fix my sleep schedule. I hit 85.4kg (188.2lbs) in March 2019. But between December 2018 and July 2019 I suffered from severe pain in my knee, causing me to have to use crutches to get around and be unable to do much of anything. After a few months of not being able to walk, I became depressed (already have major depressive disorder but I was coping before this) and turned to food for comfort. I started gaining weight rapidly, and when I finally got the courage to weigh myself in September, I was back over 100kg. I decided to not think about it, and my weight has been mostly stable since then, but I just want to be back where I was in March, weight-wise at least. I guess I should be glad I’m not back where I started or even higher, but it’s still discouraging to see more than half of your progress wiped awa...

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...

Hello I've been on a calorie deficit for around 5 weeks now, and have lost about 6lbs. My diet is extremely monotonous, starts with either the same bowl of Cereal or sandwich for breakfast, various sandwiches/wraps or 6" Subways for lunch, and finally for dinner it's either some form of pasta, pizza, rice or chicken. I take a multi vitamin every night. On weekends I treat myself to a couple of bottles of red wine and the odd chocolate snack here and there. I average around 1700cals on weekdays and tend not to track on the weekend. My job tends not to allow me time to cook, so almost all my meals are ready in 15 mins or under. Does anyone else struggle to vary their intake? I feel like I've found a diet that is working for me as I enjoy all the foods I do eat, however I know I'm probably lacking and eating far too many carbs. Any advice welcome submitted by /u/Neverbethesky [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/ew21di/...

Hey all! This is my first post on Reddit - I normally just lurk but r/loseit has been such a good resource during my weight loss & I wanted to share. Last year, I dropped about 30 lbs in 5 months, which may not sound like a ton but definitely made a difference in my life. I tried to lose weight using a lot of small habits so it wouldn't feel like an overhaul of my life: I tracked my calories with myfitnesspal - I tried to hold myself to 90% accuracy, and overestimate instead of underestimate. I gave myself days off if needed. I didn't eat breakfast, just had coffee. Doesn't work for everyone but kept my hunger down and gave me more calories for later. I also let myself eat back exercise calories (tracked with FitBit). It was so much easier for me to play a sport for a couple hours and eat 1700 calories than not exercise and eat 1200. I browsed r/loseit and r/progresspics at least every couple of days for motivation. I weighed myself every day. I tried to be ...

My wife and I use an app called Carb Manager. We got it when we were doing keto a while back and since going on various rotations of CICO and IF, we’ve stuck with it. It works well for our needs and seems mostly accurate when compared with things we scan. I’ve noticed on a few things though, the calories are incorrect when I scan the barcode. I can choose another version, and it will be correct. This isn’t a big problem with things I scan, as I can look, but on some things I “assemble”, like a restaurant salad, I’ve become concerned I’m consuming more calories than I’m recording. So how much do you trust your apps? I know MFP is popular, but we don’t like it as much, and in the times I’ve compared, they were pretty much identical in numbers (but I haven’t tried with the rare things I’ve found incorrect). submitted by /u/BeerBottleWizard [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/ew0j71/how_much_do_you_trust_your_calorie_counting_app/

27/F/5’8 SW:199 CW: 148 GW: 135 Honestly I just need to vent. Quick backstory, I was overweight most of my childhood. Capped out in high school at 215 pounds, got really sick and lost over a 100 pounds and bottomed out at 102. I looked awful. You could see all my bones. Tried to gain some back, after some years suddenly gained WAY too much. Around 170ish I knew it was getting out of control. When I went to the doctor at the end of 2017 and weighed 199 I was disgusted I had gained nearly all my weight back so I started my journey in January 2018 and you can see above stats as of now, a year later. With that being said, my body has been through a lot. I have weird flab, extra skin, stretch marks. The things a lot of us here have posted struggling with. Don’t get me wrong, I’m freaking proud of myself for losing over 50 pounds. Especially in a healthy way this time around. For the most part I feel significantly more confident than I did before. I love the way I can dress now! So- swi...
