Weight Loss for Everyone

[SV] this is my first time posting on here. I’m currently 17 years old. I started my journey a week before my 17th birthday, on April 29th, 2020. I was sick of looking in the mirror, hating what I saw... not being able to wear the clothes I wanted because I am “too fat to wear that”. Seeing all my friends and peers on Instagram in bikinis and loving themselves, while I barely ever post except for holidays and birthdays. so that following Monday, I started. I found out I loved walking on the treadmill and I actually enjoyed knowing what I’m eating and found a love for cooking (even if I’m not that good at it). Now, a little less than a month later. I finally hit exactly 10 pounds down. But this wasn’t without struggles. [TW?] I wasn’t losing a lot because I started undereating... limiting to 1,000-1,200 calories a day or less, along with fasted cardio/normal cardio and HIIT. I wasn’t losing as fast because my body was clinging to those calories, so about a week or so ago, I calculated...

Because of a new anxiety medication, I ended up going from 135 to 150. Off of the medication, but weight is still there. Since the end of January, I’ve been mostly consistent in doing 20-30 minutes of exercises on apps like 7 Minute Workouts for Women and Workouts. Last month, I downloaded FitOn, which (I feel) has more intense workouts. 20-30 minutes, 6-7x a week I don’t feel like I’ve seen much of a difference - maybe a small bit in my arms and upper abs, but it’s really frustrating. I know I need to eat better as well, but I have a hard time with that... At this point, I just need some encouragement to keep up with this exercising regimen. I’m disappointed and I don’t really like exercising so it’s really tempting to just give up. I know I shouldn’t, but what’s the use? submitted by /u/Riksie [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/gufhql/have_been_exercising_for_6_months_and_no_progress/

Hello all, this is my first post in this sub. Hopefully this is the right place to ask and if not please direct me to the proper one. English isn't my native language so please excuse any mistakes. I just started my (finally serious) weight loss journey at 11 May 2020. I'm doing CICO and OMAD. My stats are: 25F 143cm (4'8) SW 54 kg (119 lbs) CW 52.5 kg (115.7 lbs) GW 40 kg (88 lbs) Current TDEE 1,353 cal/day ( all imperial numbers were calculated using online converter, so please excuse any inaccuracies ) I want to start incorporate exercise into my day to help me lose weight and also to build some muscle but this is where it gets complicated.. I have severe grade scoliosis of 50T 70L (basically 50 degrees on my upper spine and 70 degrees on my lower). My doctor has strictly forbid me from doing any kind of weightlifting and any exercises that puts strain on my spine (ie. jumping, running) and maximum weight for any objects that I can carry is 5 kg (11 lbs). I'...

I need help I weighed myself today and I'm 484lbs. That's the biggest I've ever been. I've tried and failed so many times in the past to get into better shape and lose the weight. Let's be honest tho I'm the one letting myself down with half assed attempts. I just turned 33. Other than being morbidly obese and having high blood pressure I have no other health issues. I don't want to die. I'm doubtful I'll see 50 because being this large and getting older doesn't usually work out well. I'm here for advice on what I can do. I think going to the gym is a good start as well as fixing my diet. I smoke alot of weed and that probably isn't helping anything right? I'm tired of failing. I quit smoking cigarettes and I am determined to continue changing my life for the better. Thank you all that read this. submitted by /u/tehfatmancometh [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/gudinh/i_need_help/

I work night shift so I will eat breakfast before I go to work, and have lunch between 1 and 2am. I like to log my food all at once but I was wondering if it's better to log it as I eat? The problem I'm having is I eat enough calories per 24 hrs but according to my log, I am always over my limit because I'm logging my lunch after midnight. 5pm: Eat breakfast. 1:30am: Eat Lunch 7am: Eat Dinner That is three meals a day and altogether, they are within my limit but my lunch/dinner, if I log as I eat, will show up for the following day. Instead of having 3 meals a day, it will look like I have one meal one day and 4 meals the next because I'm logging after midnight (which is the middle of my day.) Would it be best to log all my food before midnight? submitted by /u/xGwynethx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/gudq24/3rd_shift_how_to_log/

Hello all. I must say for a while now I've done research on myself mentally and physically and have come to the conclusion I need help. I'm going to start getting my life in order and become a healthier stronger and better man than I ever was. I will eat many vegetables and fruits and drink water alot and take my dogs on walks more often and exercise and use my boxing kits. I have alot of rolls on my stomach. My body shape is quite weird and super curvy and quite huge. My balance is terrible and clumsy. I can barely do any sports or really go outside often But all that starts today. Can someone link me some fitness and motivational videos please I would appreciate it.

Hi everyone! I’ve been lurking on here and finally decided to post! I’ve always been overweight, but I’ve slowly gained 30 pounds over the last two years and it just hit me. My highest weight was 226 pounds. I am only 5’3, female and 25 years old. My goal is 150. I have stretch marks on my stomach from gaining so much weight and they are stressing me out. They are honestly one of my motivations to lose weight, hopefully they will go away. It’s not an excuse but I think I gained the weight because I’ve been living with a family member and I wouldn’t want to cook too much so I’d eat out a ton. I’ve set a goal to lose 5-8 pounds a month. I lost 5 pounds in May! I am now 214. I’ve been cutting my calories and exercising to burn more calories. Thanks for reading; I don’t have a question I just needed to vent! submitted by /u/shortjumpingBat [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/guck73/weight_gain_over_past_2_years/

Does anyone have advice about how to stick to meal times? I am realizing one of the reasons why my eating sometimes get thrown off is because I get busy during one of my "meal times" and then things get shifted. I try to adjust but am not sure my methods of adjusting work very well. For example, yesterday I had an appointment during one of my meal times, so I tried to eat before, but then later I felt really hungry but I'm not sure if it was real hunger or just confused/ I need something to fulfill me hunger. Anyway, any advice on how others maintain flexibility while being somewhat strict would be so appreciated. submitted by /u/FutureRD2 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/gub291/advice_about_sticking_to_meal_times/

So I’ve always been on the chubby side my whole life. I’ve gotten all the nicknames and I guess I’ve gotten really good at faking confidence even though on the inside I just feel like a fat pos. My cousin has always been skinnier than me and it didn’t really bother me but in my household one of the first things people do when they greet you is comment on your weight and I just got so used to being called fat and compared to him that it’s been a sore spot for me. Fast forward a bit, my girlfriend and I are both on the bigger side. I know she is super self conscious about her weight (especially since all her friends are very thin) and I have always been as great as I could be to let her know she is beautiful because she really is and she tries so hard with diets and working out. She knows I’m very self conscious about my weight too but I always brush it off and pretend to be confident about it. So today she saw an Instagram picture of my cousin and I and said something along the lines ...

JUNE 1ST IS THE FIRST DAY, i will check in weekly to give updates on progress. i have tried and failed so many times before - being obese has made me depressed and given me alot of anxiety - I WILL CHANGE FROM TODAY AND NOT LET THIS CONTINUE !!

I (30f) have been overweight most if not all of my life. I have fluctuated a lot. Been all the way to 270lbs and as low as 180lbs depending during my adult life. Most of the time it has been over at least 200lbs. Over the last two years I have stayed between 210 and 225. Just yo-yoing back and forth but never being able to actually get on a roll. In the last two weeks I went from 222 to 214 back to 222 and tomorrow’s weight is more than likely going to be closer to 225. I get on rolls where I lose weight and I am in a good headspace then one day is bad and it is all out the window. I just start eating like crazy and gain it all back. I know this is a mental issue. I know this is about flipping a switch and working my butt off. I know that I can do this if I really put my mind to it. But for some reason I am scared. I am sabotaging myself. I am afraid to try because if I fail then what’s the point. But I am failing each and every time I am not eating right or taking care of my body as...

So, I've never posted here before, but I am a 16 year old girl. I've not struggled with my weight for a long time or anything, but nobody ever explained to me how calories work, so I have gotten overweight. Two weeks ago, I went to the doctor for a physical. This woman told me I was overweight and throughout the entire appointment, kept making reference to me being overweight and asking me why that was and everything. Nobody had ever been that blunt with me, and I realized that maybe she is right. I am 5 feet and 7.5 inches tall and, at the appointment, weighed 170.8 pounds. Honestly, I wasn't upset with the way she handled it, and it made me realize I should handle this now before I get older and possibly heavier. I didn't even realize I was overweight. I've been doing at least 30 minutes to an hour of physical activity every day and going on 6-7 mile hikes or 20 mile bicycle rides with my dad once a week. I would do those more often, but I cannot drive to places...

Hey. Loooooong time lurker. Starting following to find inspiration. Background: As a teenager I was in good shape. It all fell apart in my twenties when I had to grow up and get a real job. I’ve tried a few times to lose weight but I never manage to keep it off. Here is the problem: I know what I need to do. I know what works for me. Two years ago I lost ~ 30 lbs in about 2 month from CICO. 1500 calories a day. But I don’t stick with things. My relationship with food needs to change. The way I think about food needs to change. I know this. But I don’t know how. My wife as lost nearly 150 lbs by CICO and exercise and has kept it off for nearly 10 years. My daughter tells me all the time I shouldn’t be eating or drinking what I am eating. After 10 years my wife has given up. My Dad, Aunt, Cousin has all had major heart attacking in the last two years. My cousin died. It’s scares the hell out of me but I still don’t know what to do. When anyone brings up my eating habits I respond wi...

I just had a breakthrough on why I binge eat and honestly it’s such a life changing realisation! I binged today, which I haven’t done in weeks. As I raided the cupboards and ate everything in sight, for some reason I still counted the calories. Half way through the whirlwind of uncontrollable eating I found two types of ice cream in the freezer. I looked at the calorie count on both. 267 calories for the caramel swirl cone and 154 calories for the chocolate ice pop. I purposely chose the caramel swirl cone after seeing the calories. Then it hit me. I wasn’t binge eating to satisfy a craving, I was binging to sabotage myself. The fact that I chose the higher calorie ice cream made me realise that i do this because i doubt myself and I also doubt my power to be successful and have self control. Now I see that my bingeing has always been purely self sabotage, I hopefully will be able to reason with myself in the future when I get the urge. I don’t know if this is already common knowledge...

23F/5’5”/304.4lbs(SW 337.9lbs) I’ve been really lucky this time, usually when I lose weight it lasts a week until a craving hits and I’m derailed. I’ve managed to stay motivated since March 12th and have lost over 30 pounds. Even on my “cheat days” it’s really just a cheat meal and I always make it fit into my calories. But for some reason after a bad meal I always flinch when I step onto the scale, expecting this astronomical number close to my starting weight. Yesterday was my first huge unapologetic cheat meal, we ordered from Chuys for lunch and I ate it all. I had a shake for dinner but still for some reason this morning I panicked stepping on the scale, expecting that 337.9 or worse. And yet, it said 305.2, not even a full pound. Anyway, maybe this is a dumb thing I do. But I was wondering if anyone else did things like this, or even just found their weight loss unbelievable in general. submitted by /u/liquidopiates [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/l...

(M)20 SW: >320lbs LW:159 CW:165 GW:185 I say my starting weight is >320lbs because I actually never weighed my self before starting this journey (I regret this to the day). 320lbs is the first time I weighed my self into this journey (about 3 weeks of eating clean and working out daily). This all started in 2017 going into my senior year of highschool. It wasn’t an easy journey at first and thought to my self “why am I doing this” many times. Eating plain chicken breast, rice and veggies every day for my main meals (basic bodybuilding diet that Ive seen YouTubers talk about many times). From day one I was weight lifting 5-7 days a week and got really into basketball and perfecting my jumpshot. I’m 5’8 and being that short weighing over 320lbs was not a good look by any means. I looked like a circle. I decided to change it all and change my mindset about life. That’s all it really comes down to is mindset. That can be said about anything in life. That’s how you stay on your grin...

I am a volume eater and usually plan my meals a day or two ahead of time so I'm not tempted to binge early in the day. This means that I often go heavy on vegetables and although my dinner is only (I usually eat most my calories at my last meal) 700 calories it can sometimes be up to 3/4 meals worth because of the large amount of low cal veg in it. I used to try and count the calories and take them off, or even try and finish it all, but this was leading to bad habits. And then something clicked that I'm sure other people have had, if I've already counted the calories it means I can have this food any time and it won't mean I'm eating any more calories than I've noted down. Perfect for a snack if I'm hungry and at my limit for the day, or if I want a high calorie item but don't have calories left for a meal as well.

M/37/6'2 SW 485lbs CW 244lbs lost 241lbs First 60lbs were lost diet hopping trying many different diets, tried Keto, Atkins, Juicing, intermittent fasting, and becoming vegan, all successful to an extent but for me, not sustainable. The majority of my weight loss comes down to a basic if it fits your macro/ flexible dieting. I track all of my macronutrients, and avoid desserts, lots of "macro hacks" where I find an alternative to quench my sweet tooth without feeling like I am being cheated. Lots of chicken, lots of egg whites, lots of vegetables. Additionally I have been going to the gym weight training. 6 days a week for the last 12 months straight. Working with a trainer for the first 6 months, then an online coach after that. Have lurked on this sub for the entire journey, and for a long time before I started.

Hi everyone, I thought I'd make this post because I've noticed the calories I'm aiming for seem low and are under the recommended number for a lot of places but I'm unsure if it's normal because of my height. Here's a little information: ​ Age: 21 Sex: Male Height: 5' 4" Weight: 145 lbs (Started at 217 a year ago so yay!) Goal Weight: 125 Lbs Daily Calorie Goal: 1250 (Easily hit it and don't feel hungry throughout the day, never go over) ​ Starting out at 217 I've lost quite a bit of weight but definitely have a little way to go to get where I want to be as I definitely still have a bit of a gut, I was thinking of an end goal of around 125 Lbs, but is this too low?

I had been doing so well. After having a medical termination in February and reaching the highest weight I’ve been for years, I committed to losing it all. I wanted to go from 75kg, aaaaaaall the way down to 58kg - the lowest baseline for a healthy weight at my height (167cm). I wanted to lose enough weight, so that I would never feel anxious about gaining weight ever again. By the time I turned 26 in August, I believed I could do it. I’d wasted enough of my life obsessing over how much I hated myself because of my body. I was ready to be free. I have always struggled with my weight. It’s an obsessive thought. It’s an angry thought. I admitted to my friend earlier this year that I’ll never see myself as beautiful. But it’s more than that - I admitted to myself long ago that I’ll never be a good person, I’ll never be a clean person. My weight makes me feel dirty. It makes me feel lonely. It makes me feel masculine and manly, just because I’ll never be as delicate as a slim girl. Ir...

Hey fellow reddit users! This year I turned 18, so I decided it is about time I decide to finally make changes. Let’s head over to where I started first! January 2020, starting weight 89kg, height 172 cm. I was eating very clean from that day, up until April 23rd. I had a break for Ramadan which last from then until May 25. However, I am proud to say that during that time I had dropped down to my now current weight of 79kg. Now, I do still want to lose another 10 - 15 kg by December. My current height is 173cm for those wondering. Since my new goal isn’t so massive, I was thinking of taking this approach. • For breakfast, oatmeal with honey and banana. • For lunch I’m at work, so I usually find it easiest to just eat a sandwich. • Then Dinner I usually just eat whatever my mom makes, but smaller portion than what I would’ve eaten in the past. I move all day at work, however I am steadily trying to incorporate some strength exercises. Also, I don’t usually feel hungry enough to e...

I don’t feel comfortable talking about my weight loss to anyone in my life so here I am sharing with one of the reddit groups I lurk when I desperately need motivation. Especially these days when I so badly want to binge eat and say fuck it. I’m currently in a plateau, which we all know is THE WORST. But, I realized today how much I’ve actually lost and so happy I’m not in the place I was a year ago. I lost half of the weight last summer and was fluctuating a little/maintaining since the fall. Quarantine has actually helped me with losing 14lbs of those 30lbs thanks to not being tempted to eat out, office snacks, and not drinking. I’m only 5lbs from my goal and hoping I can lose it before things open up so I can just be at maintenance!

Hey everyone! This is my first post ever, but this community has been really helpful for me so I thought I’d share a thought I had today with you. As I was getting dressed today I realized my (relatively new) jeans were getting a bit loose. My first thought was that I would need to buy new ones in the next size down soon, but upon closer inspection it seemed they were only really roomier in the waist. This was a relief to me because I’ve fixed similar situations in the past with a little hand sewing. This may be old news to a lot of people, but if you’ve never heard of a “ladder stitch” and have found yourself in a similar predicament, than I suggest you do a quick internet search and find a quick tutorial. It’s very simple and you don’t need any real skill to do it. It’s a quick, cheap way to take pants in a little during all your awesome body changes. I hope someone finds this a little useful.

Just to give some background and insight, hang with me I will make this as short as I can. Roughly 6 years ago I started to seriously loose weight at my heaviest I was 260 lbs at 5’11. I was working at UPS and if anyone has ever done that or something similar it’s 4hours and blood, sweat and tears like a non stop work out in a sauna. Quickly I dropped 15-20 pounds easy but diet wasn’t exactly where it needed to be lots of sugar and empty calories. My ex wife had me watch a documentary on sugar and the dangers of it and how it’s literally in everything, but informed of healthy daily consumption. With that I buckled down and got very strict limited my sugar intake consumed more water although I wasn’t very heavy soft drink person. Once again weight fell off down to roughly 220 the lowest I had been in 3 years. After my divorce and bouncing to a different job and new relationship I got in to the gym and dropped another 20 to 200! It was a huge accomplishment but I still wasn’t satisfied...

Hey! So, I guess I just need a little advice, and any help would be appreciated! I’m also on mobile, so I’m sorry for formatting errors! So, after a break up, I realized how much my weight spiked. I’m getting very insecure to the point where I buy shirts in the biggest size to hide my body and refuse to wear shorts. My family and I decided to start counting calories on myfitnesspal. We’ve doing this for about 3 weeks, and they have all lost around 7-10+ lbs per person whereas I’ve only lost about 4. I really started off positive and great, eating pretty clean, walking 3-4 times a week, and turning down extra sugary snacks. But after realizing they were all losing weight but I haven’t, I got kind of discouraged and stopped being as serious. (I’ve been allowing more snacks and stuff.) I’ve been tracking everyday still. I learned through the FAQ that my fitbit might be overestimating my calories burned? I’m the kind of person where if I have extra calories I don’t have an issue eating ...

I posted this on the Q&A page but didn't get an answer, so I am hoping to get some answers here I'm 19 years old ( F ) , 157 cm and weigh 100kg . Recently I have had trouble losing weight especially since the gyms are closed. My history with my weight was not the best. I slowly slowly gained weight through highschool but it was never evident since I played sports. Then three years ago (80kg) I decided I was going to work towards losing weight by going to the gym, which was evidently working. However half way I was hit with depression and lost all motivation. Due to this, my weight spiralled out of control for 2 years leading me to gain a lot of weight. At the start of this year I finally managed to get myself under control and started to go to the gym frequently. But then, Corona hit and i found myself in the same loathsome situation. I've tried counting my calories, eating smaller portions and making sure I spread my meals apart. However that's not helping me...

SW: 336 CW: 260 GW: 199.9 Growing up I was always the big kid. The kid who was picked last during recess, the kid who huffed and puffed during the mile run, the kid who was the largest in the class by far. When I went to college and was on my own for the first time, I ate out 5-6 times a week, would lay for hours watching Netflix...overall an actual vegetable. I knew I wasn’t healthy but I didn’t think I was THAT bad. But I was. I never learned nutrition, I never learned about exercise, never learned how good to feels to nourish my body. ANYWAYSS I started getting healthy in June of 2017 but wasn’t healthy about it. I went to the gym for at least two hours a day seven days a week, ate maybe 1250 calories a day, and worshipped my scale. I was to the point where if I wasn’t losing a pound a day (yes a DAY) I felt disappointed. After six weeks of this I was burnt out and found this sub. I learned how to live by “eat to live, don’t live to eat”. By making that my eating mantra plus m...

Today’s been a hard day. I’m a long time lurker of this sun and I finally need to post. I work at a health facility and because of COVID and not wanting to risk my residents getting sick I’ve been ordering a lot of take out. I finally stepped on the scale at my work today and I unfortunately hit the weight I said I would never break. I’m officially 203 pounds. I’m so distraught I said I would never be this heavy in my life. Anyways, I really need help with advice on where to begin my weight loss. I’ve tried in the past and have had no success. I’ve recently started trying to do better by deleting my take out apps and cutting soda. I don’t know what else to do. I would love some suggestions on how to get started on working out with gyms being closed and some dietary tips. Anything is greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/xcxzozo [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/gtpk45/i_need_advice/

Hey guys! So I'm more overweight than I ever was before, and a lot of my nice clothes either don't fit as well as they did or at all. I want to buy new clothes but I'm torn. On the one hand, I'd like to have nice clothes I feel good in. However, I don't want to spend a bunch of money on clothes if I won't be able to wear them or if they'll be too big on me once I lose weight. I also kind of want to use it as motivation to lose weight, but I don't know if that's a form of self-punishment or not. Do you guys think it's worth it to buy new clothes? Also, have any of you been able to wear your larger clothes after losing weight? submitted by /u/alouisepatterson234 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/gtq6ci/should_i_buy_clothes_even_though_im_trying_to/

This is my first reddi post ever! I have been on my weight loss journey 5 months now (since Jan. 1 2020). I have been a morbidly obese diabetic since March of 2009. I had been overweight for the majority of my life (currently 38). Since January I have lost 58 pounds on the keto (low sugar and carbs) diet. I am posting because I am looking for other ways of support to keep me encouraged and develop a community. Thank you to all of you for posting your victories and defeats! It is so encouraging! For those waiting to start your weight loss journey....the time is now! For those who feel defeated...You can do this! submitted by /u/tubatubatubatubatuba [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/gtq4k9/5_months_in/

88Lbs down I started doing keto July 19th because my doctor said I needed to lose weight and put me on bp medicine. I was 264lbs and the doctor scared me enough for me to stick to whatever I was going to do. 2 weeks in I discovered intermittent fasting, and started doing 16/8. I did well with that was losing weight quickly, 2 weeks later, one day (because of work) was too busy to eat lunch. I didn’t realize until later I hadn’t eaten. From that day on I switched to one meal a day. I eat around 6 and make sure I get about 1800 calories in that one meal. I dropped weight fast, I got down to 180 on January 22nd. I stayed there until March 22nd then went to 179. 2 days ago I hit 178, and my body decided to stop the stall I guess because I’m at 176 today! If you decide to do what I did, my advice would be gradually go into one meal a day! submitted by /u/-Freshlysqueezed- [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/gtp6ot/down_88_lbs_today/

Hello losers, Happy Saturday! Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): 202.6 this morning, 204.5 trend weight. Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): 1500 ish planned. I promise I'll do the math eventually for week 3 & 4 average lols. 2/2 weeks weekly calorie average, minus maintenance Mondays. Exercise 5 days a week: Tooling about in a park today. 26/30 days. Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing 0/23 days): TBD. Try a new recipe once a week: Cowboy caviar, dry navy & black beans into plump & ready to cook beans in the freezer, 15 bean soup with ham & sweet roasted chickpeas with nuts so far. 3.5/5 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Probably not tonight. 26/50 pages. No fast food, candy from the work dish or Starbucks: 4 day streak no fast food looking to beat 25, gift card only Starbucks, 3 candy related lapses in judgement. Listen to my effing body: So thirsty kids. It's hot &...

I started my weight loss journey in September last year, and ended up losing almost 20 kg, I started at 106 kg and ended up at 88 kg which I was extremely happy with and I was able to maintain that for a good while, but since I got reckless and gradually began gaining weight again but nothing crazy, roughly 2-3 kg. I'm very bad when it comes to boredom eating and I still live with my parents and my mother buys a lot of junk food and bakes a lot of cakes and whatnot. I also admit have terrible self control so I'm not blaming my mother in any way, but long story short I've managed to get back up to almost 98kg and I've lost a lot of my muscle gains since Gyms are closed down. The main thing that is upsetting me is how much effort and work it took for me to lose all that weight only for me to gain it all back in a matter of months, I feel very disappointed in myself and I feel a bit lost as to where to start again. Not really expecting much out of this post, kinda just...

I am about a stone overweight, it never bothered me, I always thought 'I'm just a bit curvy, its fine'. I feel like I've tried everything, slimming world, cico, keto. Nothing seems to shift the weight. I work in a care home and today a resident asked if I was pregnant and said I look fatter lately. I need to do something about it, everytime I look in the mirror I feel disgusting. So I guess I just need some advice on where to start? I cook all my food from scratch and generally eat meat or fish with potato, pasta or rice and lots of veg. I drink a lot of water, but I do like a glass of wine occasionally and sugar in my tea/coffee when I have it. Thanks so much for any help or advice you can offer. submitted by /u/aliensandanxiety [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/gtob4e/ready_to_make_a_change/

Today I made the decision to stop weighing myself and tracking my calories. Why? Because I noticed something going back through my weight records from the last time I lost a bunch of weight (80lbs) - it was a time when I was tracking weight but not calories. I was eating a whole food plant based diet (no processed sugars, fats, no added oils, etc.) and simply weighing myself once a day. I made journal-like comments with each entry and I noticed that weighing myself was making me miserable. The focus on the number started to make me neurotic, and I quit and went back to binge eating when the number stalled out. DESPITE the fact that I was feeling great. This has made me realize something - the weight only matters to me because it matters to other people. When I eat healthy and feel good the only time I think about my body is when other people make a big deal about it. Well, I do not exist for them and I do not think it is healthy to believe that if my waist in a certain size I'm...

29/F SW: 276 CW: 231 GW: 130 Today we celebrated my niece's 1st birthday! We had crab legs/seafood boil and grilled artichokes, so I was able to budget enough to enjoy a slice of cake and 1/2 cup of Halo Top ice cream. Since starting my journey in January, I've cut out nearly all processed sugar. When I eat sweets, I bake the sugar-free mixes and only eat 1 or 2 mini-cupcake portions at time. Mostly what I've been eating here lately is a 1/2 cup of Halo Top ice cream at night. So I was a little excited to have a piece of cake with very thick, rich buttercream icing. I cut myself a small piece, maybe half the size of a usual serving. I took a couple of bites and was honestly disappointed... the sugary buttercream had no taste to it besides SWEET. Syrupy, goopy sweet that just tastes like cavities. And though I've always been an "icing" person, it was just... gross, to be frank. I ate the cake with my Halo Top to mask the flavor. Since eating the cake, how...

F/20/5’7 SW: 277 CW: 270 GW : 180 Just after finishing the first week of my new diet and exercise plan and I’m really happy so far with 7lb down. I know this is probably mostly water weight at first but I’m still really proud. I’ve been a big girl my whole life and have always struggled with body issues and it’s really come to a head now and I’m not happy and want to get healthy. When I was 17 I successfully lost 42lb and was feeling really good about myself then went through a year long depression and ate my feelings and gained it all back and then some. Then I went to university and stopped caring about nutrition and calories when I was just having fun and it has bitten me up the ass big time lol. Throughout quarantine I’ve been eating loads aswell due to boredom and trying new recipes and baking for fun, and I stood on the scales and was horrified that I had gained another 20lb over the past few months and I have decided to do something about it. I have been aiming to eat a bala...

That's weird ain't it. I used to be able to down an entire big bag of lay's potato chips in one sitting (feeling physically sick after) but today my brother brought home a bag of chips and I wanted a few as I was still under my calorie goal for the day. so I thought, hey 10 isn't gonna hurt and I haven't had these in a while might as well treat myself for how healthy I've been eating. So he gave me a handful, about 10 chips and I ate them and it was really good... but I have this thing where when I nibble on something ill turn into the full-on hungry mode. but I know I ain't hungry I just set that switch off so I decided to go downstairs and have some water to curb the "hunger" and walking downstairs I started to get a stomach ache. As if my tummy didn't appreciate this treat. I always hear of stories like this and I never believed them till today. My body is physically telling me that it doesn't want that junk which is so bizarre and new...

When I think about weight loss, I think about the grueling diet (CICO, Keto, Paleo, IF, ...) as the journey itself. But that's really only the first of three phases. It's not overly intuitive; you have 30lbs, 50lbs, 100lbs, 150lbs to lose, so you focus hard on that number to the exclusion of everything else. You drive to that number over weeks, months, even years. It borders on an obsession because there's nothing more personal, and it's your journey to own. We dream about what it will be like to end the journey and adjust our choices throughout the weeks and months; we change our IF hours, adjust our protein intake, reduce our calorie intake to match our changing BMR, incorporate exercise, etc. But often, our failure in this weight loss journey isn't the weight loss phase. Once you get into a groove after the first one, two, three, N months, losing a pound or two a week becomes commonplace and feels almost boring. And we become complacent. Getting to that magical...

Last night before bed I was 149.8 pounds. Officially below the 150 mark, and about 5 pounds away from my “goal” weight. But honestly, nobody can tell. And it’s not that it was so gradual no one noticed- even people that (due to corona) haven’t seen me since the weight loss really took off (I would say 30 of those 35 have been since mid March) were shocked that I was ever as heavy as I was. I can tell in the ways my clothes fit that I’ve lost a lot of weight but a simple visual observation doesn’t show a drastic difference. But I was 185 pounds and 5’3”. That’s OBESE, and no one believed me when I started declining seconds and such that I was that far overweight. And now I’m only 5 pounds away from what my doctor said was a healthy weight for me, and the main reason for the weight loss has been achieved and I am no longer pre diabetic. Because honestly, while I did this because my health was a mess because I was overweight, I haven’t had any face gains, no dramatic before/after shots...

Hi guys, I think I need some advice here. I'm 19, 5"6, 260 pounds and one week into my weight loss journey. The first few days I kept below 1800, and now for the past four days, I have been keeping it at 1500. It's been difficult, but rewarding too. My days are more structured. I savour and take my time with my meals more. I feel like I'm working towards something. However, I hit a stumble today. Both my parents are also obese. At lunch, my Dad brought home KFC. Immediately, I felt anxious as I thought about all of the calories. My Mum caught onto my pacing and nail-biting and advised me to have a small portion and leave out the chips. I did, but even so, I ended up consuming around 580 calories. That's not much. I know it's not much. I know I have over 600 calories left for dinner later. But the problem is this: for a long time in my life, I suffered from bulimia. It was how I punished myself for my binge-eating. Now I've been clean from purging for t...

The worst thing about tracking progress in MFP is realising that you now have a bank of photos of yourself at different starting weights, each one bigger than the last. 5.5 years ago, at 5'8 and 162lbs, I first started using MFP to lose weight. I had just come out of a relationship and was trying to get a "revenge body". It worked, and with a few decent looking pictures at 150lbs on Tinder, I met my current boyfriend, (now fiancé!) and so begins 4.5 years of a happy relationship without a care in the world, feeling like my lifestyle had no consequences. Well, that didn't quite go to plan... and I skyrocketed to 221.2lbs and felt truly terrible about myself. When my boyfriend proposed, something flicked a switch in my head, and I decided that I needed to get serious about losing weight now, otherwise I wouldn't look like the bride I had always wanted to be. I'd had a semi-successful run of dieting in 2017 through CICO, but after 4 months of tracking and pro...
