Weight Loss for Everyone

As the title suggests, I am completely blank. A brief introduction/summary of mine: I am 26M, 75kgs, 167cm, 31% body fat (checked using those BCA machines in my gym). Went on a weight loss journey last year in May. My highest weight was 131+. I introduced workouts in a very planned manner, initially I used Nike Training Club, then cycling and basic cardio, then introduced resistance bands, switched to running (am able to do 5k+ 2-3 days a week), and finally weight training 3-4 days a week. Right now, I am doing running+gym 6 days a week, alternating between them in a not very planned manner. I am using a personal trainer for past two months, but am thinking of doing stuff on my own as it's becoming a bit too expensive for me. For my diet, I am doing 1300-1400 cals a day with 125-130 gms protein. Till last month, I was doing 100 gms but I was still losing muscle mass, so upped it by one scoop basically. I don't know till what weight I should go, so I have set <20%bf as m...

Hey y’all! I really need some encouragement and advice right now because I swear I just don’t know what to do anymore. All my life I’ve been insecure of my body shape, I’m an apple shape and I just dislike it so much, even before hourglass and thick became a trend. I’m a stay at home mom and I try to go to the gym as much as I can, but I feel I will never reach my goals at the gym. I’m not saying I WANT surgery but sometimes I feel it’s just what I NEED. I am going to work as a teacher later on and I feel being a teacher, a mom, a wife and then focusing on the gym will be too much. But I just don’t want to look like this forever. I want a bigger butt, smaller waist, smaller back, skinnier arms and I just feel it will take a long time to reach my goals. I am feeling so discouraged. I get confused with the weight lifting program I’m doing and I feel I will even lose more of my gluteus as I lose the weight. I’ve seen so many girls have success with a BBL, but I just don’t know what to do...

I look at my body and I don’t hate it, but I feel really pressured living in Japan. I can’t fit regular underwear, so I have to import it from the US. My thighs are too big to fit pants, so I always wear skirts. My feet are too big for women’s shoes, so I only buy foreign brands. I hope i can get small enough to buy new underwear. I’m almost halfway! I have 16lbs left until my goal weight of 125lbs. I know it’s on the small side, but I really hope that I can eventually buy sexy underwear locally. I started my basic cooking again. I’m eating on small plates instead of dinner plates. I’m eating a bowl of oatmeal topped with a sliced banana as my only carb everyday. I’m supplementing the carb loss with extra protein (chicken) in other meals. I fucking hate cooking, so I eat frozen vegetables. It’s better than ordering food every day though lol. I’m eating lots of fruits. Instead of chocolate snacking, I eat a strawberry or konyaku jelly (25 cal per pouch). I live on the 7th floor and I...

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 appro...

I haven't worked for a long time now due to the pandemic (but in school) and I used to have no problem sticking to 1500 calories a day. Now, with nothing to do and no where to go for some reason I'm hungrier than ever and have trouble sticking to even 1700 calories a day. I've gained 10lbs and really really missing working out in a gym and being on my feet at work. I'm not sure if the distractions helped keep my hunger in the background and without them it's more prominent? Even with healthy snacks I'm going over 1700 every day and I feel so guilty on days I eat too much. There really isn't much of a solution at this point, just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?? submitted by /u/Drunksnortsss [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/l9vb86/suddenly_always_hungry/

Starting: 260lb, 31.6 BMI, BP 140/85 Current: 248lb, 30.2 BMI, BP 124-130/75-82 Target: 14% estimated body fat / 210LB, BMI ~25, BP under 120 / 80. New here, thought I’d make a post to share my experience, and to motivate myself and hopefully others. Sorry it’s a bit long, but it covers how I got here, what I’m doing to lose weight, as goes over some of the diet and exercise goals I have, and how I’m keeping myself honest. I (30M) have struggled with my weight for years. I’m pretty tall (6’4), so some of my weight is normal and healthy for a person with such a large frame, which I’m told also makes BMI a bit less useful for me. I know that I have too much android and visceral fat, and my body fat percentage is too high ~ 27%, a lot of it in “beer gut” and “love handles. I, like many, gained a lot of weight when COVID hit and disrupted all of my routines. I had literally just gotten into a good gym schedule for the winter (I have a much easier time being active in the summer, as I l...

Hey all! I have been on this weight loss journey for some time now.i lost 36 of my initial weight doing keto. It was the only thing I found that I was able to stick with. Well, then I had end stage renal failure. I tried calorie counting, and it went well for maintenance, but I could not drop weight. I recently started working with a paid app, and although it is still calorie counting, it has somehow given me the information in a way I'm finally choosing better foods to keep me full without going over my calories. I have finally broken into my the 150s, and I'm over the moon! I know it's hard guys, but the right thing is out there to help, if you haven't found your "ahah" yet, keep working on it.

Hello, my name is ladycousland (dumb Dragon Age reference, don’t ask) and I’m an alcoholic. Highly functional, successful in terms of career and relationships, and entirely unrepentant about any of the above — but a daily drinker nonetheless. And can I just say, the number of calories in alcohol is fucking ungodly. Just, really blows out my daily budget unless I forgo one or more meals. Which I try not to! I mean half of the pleasure in drinking (for me at least) is enjoying food alongside it. For real, I’m a 5’7” female in the 21st century, but give me some booze and a charcuterie spread and I will go full on Henry VIII before the crippling leg injury. Can anyone relate? I follow a lot of aspirational accounts across several social media platforms, and it always feels so damn unattainable. I would love to “eat clean” and “detox” and “love myself” at any size, but I tend to feel comparatively like a dirty little gremlin who will always be fat because I’ll probably never be able to ...

I lost about 90lbs so am a bit neurotic about my weight and keeping it off. I track every thing using MFP. I went from 270 to about 180lbs. I normally float between 178 and 183 but last week had one bad day and it jumped to 186. I went over my normal calories by about 500 so not a huge deal and figured it would go back to normal in a few days. A week later It still has not gotten back to normal and now floats between 186-190. I have started weight training again about a month ago but my weight had stayed at that 178-183 range. I can’t figure out why I have not dropped back down. Any suggestions what to do or why this happened. I really don’t believe I put on 5-10lbs on over night but it not going back down is really annoying me. If it matters I am male, 6ft tall and eat between 2000-2300 calories most days, MFP has me at 2300. submitted by /u/jpdurs98 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/l9txez/weight_jumped_up_one_day_and_now_wont_go_back_down...

I already lost 60 lbs. I'm 5'10 and went from 210lbs to 150lbs. However, I still have a fair share of body fat, nothing too crazy, but I don't know how to lose it, since losing more weight feels impossible, but it looks like a dad bod. I started doing heavy 2 hour workouts around April - June of last year, but I burnt myself out quickly. I was trying to start working out this year again, obviously less intensive, but I wanted to know if fat burners would help me lose body fat quicker. I started losing weight because I started seeing small results every week, and that motivated me to keep going until I reached my current weight, which I'm very proud of. I was wondering if fat burners did the same, to help me stay motivated to work out . I obviously do not expect to be ripped in a month or two, but maybe start seeing less and less body fat every week and lose my dad bod after a year or so. submitted by /u/aasrg1802 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddi...

I’m 16 years old, and I started trying to change my lifestyle like 10 days ago or so. During 2020, I stopped caring and gained a lot of weight. I didn’t know exactly how much I weighed until today. I was scared to see. Once I weighed myself, I was very disappointed. I still am. I’m 176 (79 kg) pounds and 5’9” (177 cm) This makes me feel even worse about myself. I was already eating less, but now I’m going to eat even less than before. Also, I ride a stationary bike everyday for an hour, and also do a full body weightlifting routine two days on, one day off. I want to change my life drastically, that’s why I’m working out so much. I want to get to my desired weight (60-63 kg or so) (132-138 lbs or so) as soon as possible, then I’ll tone it down a bit and keep my weight. I’m not weightlifting to gain muscle or anything. That’s not my priority. My priority is losing as much weight as possible. I’ve always been fat, but this is the lowest point I’ve ever been. I feel like I’ve hit rock ...

Now I know when people normally post things like this, it goes somewhere along the lines of: “No one in my family supports my diet/journey, they eat a bunch of junk food and it’s hard to stay on track, yada yada yada” But I feel like I’m the in the /opposite/ situation. My mom, dad, brother, and I all independently decided to lose weight within a month or two of each other. For instance, I started in October of last year, and my brother followed suit a couple weeks later. Now it’s almost February and my brother has lost 40lbs and is looking/feeling awesome. He runs on the treadmill every day and never complains about being hungry or craving this or that. Meanwhile — in the same basic timeframe — I lost 22lbs, started to gain it back in December, and now am only down 10 net lbs. I’m so out of shape I can’t exercise for more than 15 minutes at a time, and I not only crave food but genuinely feel hungry when I eat at a deficit. I’m very proud of my brother (and my parents who have been...

Hey r/loseit , hope you all are doing well and reaching your goals!! This is my first Reddit post so I don't even know where to start but here we go. Some background about me: When I (18F) was 14, I developed a restrictive eating disorder. I recovered after a year and spent the next three years healthy. There were times when I felt anxious about my body and about food, but the thoughts weren't debilitating anymore and I was confident and happy overall. However, when COVID hit in March 2020 and lockdown happened, I, like many other people, was suddenly spending a lot of time at home, bored and anxious, alone with my thoughts. It was manageable at first, and I spent a lot of time running and making music to release my stress. But in April 2020, I got injured and couldn't run for a month. And that's when the binge eating REALLY started. It wasn't much at first - just once every two weeks or so. But gradually, it spiraled out of control and I found myself bingeing on...

Finished my first month of consistently tracking my calories, going to the gym 5/7 days of the week for strength training and lost 8 lbs. Lately I’ve been finding eating the same thing every day has helped a lot in being consistent. I’ve been getting 235g of protein and staying around 1800-1850 calories per day. I have only been doing cardio 1-2 times per week on the peloton. I’ve been noticing tremendous progress with strength training as all my weights have been going up and I’m starting to feel my body develop more.

M/19/5’8 Maintaining: 155-157lbs So I’ve lost 75lbs over 4 years. The reason it took me so long was because I was trying my hardest to avoid getting loose skin. Well it happened anyways.after loosing so much weight my body looks really saggy. My 53 year old mother and me basically share the same skin, and I’m 19. I’ve been weight lifting for 8 months now and my skin really hasn’t gotten any better. My ass is still super saggy, my chest still looks uneven, and I’m not even going to comment on my lower stomach. I hate it I’ve lost so much weight and I still hate my body. I’m proud that I lost the weight, but I hate the outcome. So many of my friends have incredible skin and show off their bodies, but I’m just here trapped in this destroyed cast. I wanted to ask if it got better(like my skin)? Will my body bounce back or will it just be a vessel that reminds me of the mistakes of my past. Idk I thought it got better when you lose the weight and now I traded one insecurity for another....

Hey y’all, still learning all about Reddit - today I’m looking for some motivation. At the start of 2020 I started going through my divorce. Which that I lost 10-15 lbs mainly from not being able to eat/not having an appetite and going to the boxing gym 3 times a week to try to escape. I ended up feeling really good about my body and my weight. Once my divorce was done and I met my current boyfriend (and really started to enjoy food again and quarantine didn’t help) I started to put on weight again. I’m currently 24, 5’5, and 155lbs.. I really wanna get back down to 125-130lbs. I’ve always been very muscular and fit and I’ve always found motivation by playing sports. Now that I’m no longer in high school I find it hard to find motivation to go to the gym. I also struggle with food.. one day I think I need to starve myself to lose weight and the next day I binge on pizza and candy. I guess now I’m just trying to find motivation and tips to saying on a good healthy diet/plan so that I c...

I've been on my weight loss journey since the end of November. My first goal is to lose my quarantine pounds. In the beginning of quarantine, I gained about 40 lbs and 3 pant sizes. I weighed in yesterday at 18 lbs down, so I'm about halfway there. However, I would have assumed since I've lost half the weight, I'd at least be down 1 pant size, but it really doesn't feel like my clothes are fitting any different. I've been taking measurements, and it looks like I've lost about an inch off my waist. Does this mean I'm losing muscle not fat? For reference, I've mostly been losing by calorie counting and volume eating (using Noom). My exercise plan has been this: Cardio: 4-7 days a week, walking outside, walking on a treadmill on an incline, at home dance workouts Strength: not doing too much of this, I have been doing some body weight workouts a few days a week at home, usually Chloe Ting and some yoga submitted by /u/spuddddddddd [link] ...

Hello losers, Day 31! Here's the sign up post for next month kids. https://redd.it/l9o0df Weigh in daily, enter into Libra & report here even if I don't like it: 231.8 lbs this morning, 232.1 lbs trend weight. That weigh in seems high but so it goes. Compared to starting the month at 240.1, 236.1 trend weight is still progress. 8.3 down on the daily, a much more reasonable 4 pounds down on the trend. I will take that. Scale is in the right direction & that's enough for me. Stay within calorie range (1800): One maintenance day a week plus birthday & anniversary maintenance days. Only one day where I really visited off the rails town. I'm happy enough with the progress here considering what my December was like. 21/25 days. Exercise 5 days a week: Nailed it. Loving that stationary bike. Would like to be doing more strength stuff. 26/31 days. Self-care time (journaling, beauty treatments, anything that fills the bucket): Did pretty good work here this mo...

Hi! I was 89 Kgs in 2017 and I reduced 16 KGs just by playing intense badminton for two hours from 8 pm to 10 pm and finishing my dinner by 6 pm. That's it. I never did anything other than this - not even cut short Carbs or Junk items. Rice is my staple diet, so I took in a lot of carbs and I ate Junk items every now and then. Looks like I burned more calories while playing badminton than I took so it did not matter my diet had rice. I have been 73 for quite a while now and do not look fat at all. Should I stop losing it and gain muscle mass instead? I heard it would make put on a few kilos. And I am also afraid I would lose my flexibility in badminton if I lifted weights. Suggest me what to do next. submitted by /u/spooreddit [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/l9lt2m/510_and_73_kgs_reduced_16_kgs_in_3_years_not_sure/

Hi, first time posting here! I’ll get straight to the point. I started my weight loss journey on Jan 1st 2021, it’s been a whole month! I’m feeling great. I have lost 15 pounds from CICO (1200ish cal a day) and minimal exercise, a little as 30 crunches most days to maybe 4-5 days I was able to get in a 15-20 minute HIIT work out. My goal was only 1 pound a week! I know this rapid of weight loss will not continue as I continue to lose, but my question is how did I lose so much so fast? It’s really motivating but I don’t want to become discouraged as it eventually slows down to 1 pound a week. I plan to lose 70 pounds in 17.5 months as long as I am able to stay on track. F24 5’7 SW 210 CW 196 GW 135 Any advice? I haven’t been drinking much this month, maybe 3-4 drinks total, while I drank much more over the holidays. Could have been excessive water weight? How best should I move forward into the next month of my journey? Thanks for all your posts on this sub everyone, I love all y...

Hi everyone! Like many I hate cardio. Its not much fun but podcasts do help. So I had an idea. I know there are heaps of apps out there to help you run and whatnot like "Zombies! Run!" but I decided to make my own, much more low tech one. The idea I'm in Sydney. I've never been to Perth. According to Google Maps its 3,677 km . Now generally, I like to do about 15km a day through a combination of walking generally and gym cardio. By doing some quick maths, thats about 245 days to cardio my way there, give or take an hour or seven. So I've whipped up a spreadsheet to track this. Now of course there are going to be days where I do more k's and some where I do less. But framing it this way makes it quite fun for me! Each week, I'll check in and tell you where in beautiful Australia I've cardio'd my way to! This helps me with accountability. This isn't day one on my journey, I'm already down 23 Kgs and I'm looking at new ways to keep t...

I have had an on and off again relationship with calorie counting. I always knew it was necessary to losing weight but would also get extremely discouraged if I over ate or just ate 'bad' food, and would completely give up. If I caved and drank a soda with lunch, I would then give myself a free pass to eat whatever I wanted and not track anything, because in my mind my day was already 'ruined' by drinking that soda. Then my whole week was 'ruined' because I ate poorly that day, and so on and so forth. Well, earlier this month I decided to get back on the horse and start trying to lose weight again, with the added stipulation that I would track every day and track everything I ate and drank, no matter what. Today was the first day I really fell off the wagon. I woke up and ate some frozen Taquitos. Then I ate Fritos. Then my husband and I went out for dinner and I did NOT choose a healthy meal choice and we got appetizers. The result was an excess of about 1800...

Back in October of 2019 I was in a pretty bad head on collision on my way home from college, I won’t go into the details too much but I will say I had a decent amount of damage to my legs had to have several surgeries on my wrist a severe concussion and at one point there was a conversation regarding the loss of my right arm, fast forward to about 1 year later and I’ve made mostly a full recovery, I still have screws in my wrist and have occasional pain but other then that I’m pretty much back to how I was before the wreck, due to a year of inactivity unhealthy life choices and depression I gained a good bit of weight, in highschool I was around 160, I had jumped up to 222lbs, I was disgusted in myself(this being said there’s nothing wrong with being bigger, or with being any size for that matter, I was just disappointed in myself because I’ve always been fairly active and in my mind I had let myself go and given up) now come January I’m down to 165lbs and in the best shape I’ve ever ...

Hi!! Long time lurker on this subreddit. I started my fitness/weight loss journey back on July 4th with the goal that I would lose weight for my birthday. I got down from 130 to 110 and I wanted to lose 10 more pounds to get to 100. (I'm 4'10" so I don't think it's that bad!!) However on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I just ended up treating myself because I wanted to enjoy the time with my family instead of exercising and counting calories. Whatever. But after New Years I haven't really stopped treating myself? And the motivation to count calories or the looming thought that I would gain weight if I ate too much just went away for the entirety of January. Now it's one month later and I've checked the scale and I'm up 10 pounds... 10 WHOLE POUNDS!! AHH!! I know it's entirely my fault it's simple CICO;; Even after checking body progress pics and seeing how much of a step I've taken backwards I can't bring myself to be motivated aga...

TW: discussion of eating disorders and disordered eating tendancies I am currently working on losing my quarantine weight (around 10lb) through eating smaller portions, increasing lean protein, reducing carbs, and doing cardio 2-3 times a week + lifting weights 2 times a week. For reference, I'm currently a female, US size 6, 5'7, and generally lean. I'm having problems distincting eating "clean" and re-developing disordered eating habits. I had a stress-induced eating disorder (excessive restriction) around 3-4 years ago and, before Covid, felt like my metabolism finally went back to normal and that I finally had a good grasp of my maintenance weight. I gained around 10lb during Covid, which isn't much, but I just don't feel as agile and mobile, which is why I am trying to lose the weight. Due to the increased stressors in my life, I am afraid that I am slipping into my disordered eating habits again and masking it as "eating clean". How do ...

Hello. New here I went from obese 5’5” 195lb (88.5 kg) to overweight 175 lb (79 kg)using mfp, but once I stopped logging I stopped losing. I would like to lose 30 lbs (13.5 kg)and be a healthy weight. I am currently on a medically supervised keto diet for type 2 diabetes. I started Wed and my glucose went from 125 in am to 80 which is awesome. I am hoping my dr will reduce medication over time. I have lost 3 lb which is probably water weight, but it is nice to know my scale moves. My diet is a little different than at r/keto 30g total carb, moderate protein and fat to satiate. I walk our dog and at work but am mostly sedentary. This is a huge change for me. I used to eat a lot of high carb processed foods. We still have some things in the house for my daughter, but I have not been tempted. My dr has me testing glucose 2x /day and ketones once and weight daily. My digestive system is not handling the diet change, so I am slowing down on fat. Except for that I feel good. My dr ...

Please let me know if there’s elsewhere I need to be posting this, because I honestly don’t know since there are clearly SO many subs out there. Anyway, to begin, my husband has been doing brazilian jiu jitsu for about a year now & it has helped him greatly with losing weight, etc. He has stated that he’d like to start yoga, because it’ll help with BJJ even more. I reeeeally want to start getting in shape myself & we think joining him would be a great opportunity for me, because he’s more “disciplined” & can help keep me motivated. The thing is, we’re [currently] bigger people & not too bendy/flexible. (He is more so than me though thanks to jits. lol) Sooooooo my question is, does anyone know of or can recommend some in-home yoga videos that would be good for beginners who are larger in size & can be accessed at home?? We have Amazon Prime, which includes video too. Is there anything good on there? Note: When I say bigger, I’m talking about me (38F) at 5’5” ...

F/19 Height: 5'5" SW:204lbs CW:163lbs GW:115-122lbs Before & after: https://imgur.com/gallery/B1NM9Jm I’m posting this on mobile, if formatting is weird I apologize :( It feels surreal typing this out...I truly thought I would never be here. I spent my entire adolescent years being obese and insecure, and I made a promise to myself that before I hit twenty I would lose the weight. I'm already halfway and it's been 6 months since I started taking this journey seriously! I’ve been on a calorie deficit and that’s really it. After years of trying multiple diets, listening to viral trends/random influencer advice and exercise routines it’s all useless if you don’t restrict your calorie intake. If you burn more calories than you take in, YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT. I didn’t exercise or switch up my diet. I ate anything I wanted to but it just had to be within my calorie limit. I couldn’t believe how easily I dropped 20 pounds after starting a calorie deficit diet. My daily...

As the title states, I have been doing a low carb diet at 65g of carbs per day and 1,200 calories. I spend most of my time at home so I'm not super active. I've did this last year and lost over 20 pounds and have maintained since around June. However, I'd really like to lose another 20 pounds to meet my goal. (I'm 5'2 and 144lbs.) So I started up again and I'm finding it difficult to meet my calories without going over the 65g of carbs without just eating meat and a lot of eggs. I've tried to increase my carb intake to 80g and it seems like I instantly gain weight back. I'm not sure if this is just because my body says "oooh carbs, need to hold on to this!" Or maybe 65 is just the right number for me? Any insight or advice? submitted by /u/LawnChairs68 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/l938zt/low_carb_diet_makes_it_difficult_to_meet_calories/

5 years ago, I was severely underweight. I worked to gain by exercising and eating more, and in a few months, I ended up in the normal weight category, feeling and looking good. Then I got lazy. Now I am, at least according to the BMI calculator, overweight. I don't feel or look fat, but I definitely didn't gain weight in muscle, so it is what it is. According to the same BMI calculator, if I am to return to the category of 'normal/healthy' weight, I need to lose just over 15 pounds. At the same time, if I gain another just under 20 pounds, I'll be obese. I'm nearly at the exact middle point between normal weight and obese weight, so I'm thinking of this as a kind fork in the road. Either I continue being lazy and slowly gaining weight until I'm obese in a couple of years, or I make a serious effort to change my habits, something I've done before, but never in a way that was sustainable long-term. Every time I've tried to make myself 'ge...

I’m vegan, I quit drinking knocked smoking on the head, I limited how much I use my phone and I fixed my sleep pattern. All this is chump stuff (for me). All the stuff i “sacrificed” has just shown me what IS actually hard to shake for me. Snacking, gargantuan portion sizes and not exercising. When I was 21 I had just got dumped, realised I wasted 3 years on a very toxic person and within days was ripping it at the gym and doing door to door sales 6 days a week, staying pumped and learning to be happy with myself. I was in the best shape I’d ever been in. I let it slip, gradually, then it snowballed. I’m now 25 and if nothing changes I’ll be 25 stone too (350lbs) I’m not far from it. Nothing has been able to motivate me, diet for two weeks, coupled of walks and cycles but I’m breathless after a few flights of stairs or an evening walk then back to the same old. This is going to kill me if I don’t change. Going to weigh myself tomorrow and start again. Wish me luck. submitted b...

I've been losing weight, or at least been living with the intent to lose weight for the past 4.5 years now. I've lost ~120lbs, but still haven't reached my goal yet due to lots of fluctuations. I've struggled with binge eating disorder quite a bit which caused many, many stalls in my weight loss progress, but I can honestly say that for the past 4.5 years, I have woken up in the morning with the intent to maintain a caloric deficit on nearly every single day--not to say that I'm proud of it, though. I'm not planning on quitting now as I am within 10lbs of my goal and I feel more resilient with regard to binging than I have in a long time, plus I just want this shit to be over with--but I can't help but wonder if my mental health issues (pretty volatile) may have been seriously aggravated over the past few years due to the long-term deficit/putting pressure on myself to lose weight for such a long time. I have no concerns about keeping the weight off once ...

Hello losers, Holy crap! It's day 30. Snuck right up on me! You all can wrap up today if you like, I'll be wrapping up tomorrow mostly because I missed weigh in again today. I'll work on the sign up post for tomorrow too. Weigh in daily, enter into Libra & report here even if I don't like it: No weigh in today, 229.5 lbs trend weight. Stay within calorie range (1800): A little under goal today, huzzah. 20/24 days. Exercise 5 days a week: 40 minute walk, 20 minute intense stationary biking. 25/30 days. Self-care time (journaling, beauty treatments, anything that fills the bucket): Gonna do a face & hair mask in a bit. Try a new recipe once a week: Creamy pesto spaghetti squash, creamy mushroom lentils, acorn squash with vanilla sugar, a new variant on green chili, bean mash & a honey mustard broccoli salad that really tickled me. Also I have air fried at least 4 veggies & a fruit or two so I feel like that counts as new. 7/5 weeks. Express mindful...

I'm down around 50lb from my highest weight and up around 15lb from my lowest, healthy weight but wanting to lose more for both athletic and aesthetic reasons. But my biggest struggle with weight loss has always been that I love to cook? I made four different types of bread today . I can't eat four loaves of bread in a day and lose weight! But in two days there will be different breads I want to bake! I want to experiment with chocolate chip cookie recipes. I want to make a thousand different homemade pizzas. I want to explore hunan cuisine, and also turkish, while perfecting my pelmeni technique and always getting a hefty volume of vegetables. I make a list of everything I want to cook, and by the end of the week I've added 16 and made 6 because that's all I could fit into my calories. And the list gets overwhelming and the temptation too large, and then I break down and spend weeks making and eating a bunch, and gain weight. I have literally a binder full not of re...

I'm a serial snacker, so restricting myself from snacking at all (which means no chocolates after meals like I used to do daily, and no desserts every few days either). It's only been 2 weeks, I'm just beginning my journey, but the fact that I ate a small dinner, then looked at the bowl of ice cream that my sibling was filling up and felt NOTHING is crazy to me. I wasn't tempted at all! Usually any time my sibling gets ice cream I would feel like having it myself and end up having it that very night. The fact that I didn't even feel tempted was amazing! I feel like I'm finally getting a handle on my sugar addiction. submitted by /u/half_the_man [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/l90gwj/i_looked_at_ice_cream_today_and_felt_nothing/

I worked my ass off to lose 11 pounds. I know that’s not a big number, but this is a lot for me. I had (and have) a serious problem with food. It makes me feel so calm and safe. On my first day I pushed myself to really take control, I nearly cried. I was so hungry and just wanted to snack. I wasn’t starving myself, I was eating like a normal person. I lost 11 pounds, it was such an amazing feeling. But I’ve had some issues recently that made me lose all of that motivation that had let me fight against cravings and get up and workout. I’ve just lost that fire. I don’t know what to do. I want to get back on track. Can you guys just hold my ass accountable? I need some perspective again, I don’t want to lose my progress. I don’t want to be sick again. submitted by /u/Uno_Reverse69420 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/l90hv8/ive_lost_11_pounds_but_ive_lost_all_motivation/

I've gained a bit of weight due to a mixture of pregnancy, depression and thyroid issues over the past 2 years. Pre-pregnancy i was at a pretty good weight, 140. Not perfect, but not horrible. Size 10 and medium. I want to get back to that. Right after giving birth I was at 170, and 2 years later I'm at 203. I know I shouldn't have let myself go so much, there was just so much happening. But I'm ready to get back to it. My question is, what are the best cereals? I want to take baby steps, I don't think I'm ready to be munching on kale just yet(lol). I'm thinking of a healthy cereal in the morning, fruit and veggie snacks with veggie and chicken soups, or chicken salads for dinner. Is that a good start? Any other advice? My main goal is to feel filled up, cut out fast food, junk food and pop. thanks in advance for any advice, its much appreciated. Also opinions on cereals like honey but cheerios, corn flakes and instant quaker oatmeal? *forgot to mention I...

6’2” 44yr male, in 2013 i went from 289# to 189# Slowly I began to gain weight, maintained 200-220# until 2016 or so. Job change, long hours, totally fell off the wagon until Jan 2020 when i weighed in 277#. Began to clean up the diet and work out, weight started coming off then Covid and started working from home. Weight fell off easily till June i weighed in at 185# my lowest weight since maybe 5th grade. Then the slide began I’m back up to 220# and clothes are tight again. I know what i need to do, but the day in day out consistency is so damn hard. For months it was just part of my day now i just don’t have the energy or drive. Reading other people’s successes is great and i just wanted to say congratulations to those getting it done and thanks for sharing. I hope to get back on the right side of scale soon. For those struggling take it day to day. Celebrate your wins, don’t beat yourself when you slide. Every day is an opportunity to try again. submitted by /u/Vault8oy1...

I've been perusing this community for the last couple of weeks and finally got the guts to post. I'm a 4'11" female, weighing 130-135 (it fluctuates a lot). Gained about 10 lbs during covid. I have a body type where I gain weight easily, but have a bit of a harder time losing it. Been struggling with body image lately, even though my husband assures me that I look great. I carry the weight mostly in my chest and tummy, but now love handles are becoming a thing. Being newlyweds and not having my mom cook for me every day, I'm having a hard time cooking healthy all the time and instead have been eating "easy to prepare" foods a bit more often, although I still cook one healthy protein and veggie focused meal every day. We don't buy junk foods, but we are currently living with my husband's family who told us that we have permission to eat their snacks. That's another thing I struggle with. Snacks. No matter the quality or quantity of the meal, I...

I'm a male. 18 years old, 19 in a few months, 5'4, 283, started at 317, trying to get to 130. I've been overweight all my life; ever since I was a kid, yet I've had a troubled past with losing and gaining weight. During a certain period of my childhood, I had a chronic disease that made me eat extremely little; so I lost a lot of weight but I eventually gained it back once the disease got more manageable. During two periods, I attempted to lose more weight by myself and I made some decent progress but I slipped and let myself go. Here's where I am now. I... recently found out that loose skin is a possibility while losing weight. Having being overweight all my life, I'm not sure how severe it will be in my case. And that's what I'm afraid of. If anyone has any experience with loose skin, and if you were able to get rid of it without surgery, I'd be glad and thankful to hear any stories and advice you can share. submitted by /u/Interesting-Cow61...

Hi fellow dieters... I would like your opinion on this situation and I hope that's okay. Obligatory warning that English is not my first language, and sorry for the long post. I have always been into healthy eating, even when not on a diet, and I really enjoy working out, so I was never overweight at all. Then, 2 years ago, I got into a very stressful general situation where I had bigger problems than to mind my nutrition, and the stress and pressure at work and my commute left me too drained to work out. I gained some weight, but didn't want to weigh myself, so I decided to just get new clothes for now and move on until the situation is less stressful. Then last year, I somehow, in the middle of this damn pandemic, managed to find a job that is closer to where I live. I have worked close to my home for 4ish months now, and I finally get some free time now to take care of myself. Determined to finally face my weight gain, I bought a scale (hadn't had one in years) and...
