Weight Loss for Everyone

hi! SW: 151lbs CW: currently fluctuating between 132 and 133.5lbs GW: somewhere between 115-119, 5'3" FTM, 23yo my weight loss keeps stalling despite my best efforts, and i'm having a lot of trouble being okay with my body at this weird skinnyfat 'halfway point' with my love handles and pooch. i don't see much of a difference in the mirror other than very slightly reduced proportions, and it's making me feel impatient and frustrated. several times this week i had to stop myself from eating under my BMR to speed things up, and whenever i eat a little closer to my (painfully low 1700cal) maintenance i feel absolutely gross. so i guess my question is: what do you guys do to keep yourselves going when it feels like nothing's changing? i've never committed to a health goal this long-term before, and it sucks to be so continually disgusted with my reflection submitted by /u/gojimun [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/co...

Hey team! Just another post asking about loose skin. I am inching closer and closer to my goal weight (yay!) and have been wondering a lot about loose skin. I knew it would be an eventuality with close to 50kg/100lbs to lose. I have some (RIP my boobs, I miss you </3) but other than that seem ok. However, for those of you who have reached our goal weights, when did you start to notice your loose skin? I have a feeling the leaner I get the more I will notice it so just trying to mentally prepare myself for that eventuality. Will the next 5 - 10 kg I am hoping to lose be where I really start to notice it? As an aside, I have been strength training the whole way through my weightloss so I hope that has been helping! Any of your stories or experience will be appreciated, it's been really hard to find any info pinpointing exactly when I could expect to start noticing loose skin. submitted by /u/patronus12 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/commen...

Hey, I am a 5'7 190 16 years old and I have an issue I don't know how to deal with. I struggle with my eating I can't eat normally. I always tell myself to eat what I want but in small portions but when I do that I go crazy with the food. I hate being like this I used to weigh 140 2 years ago and know this. I want to lose this weight but I can't mentally I have something stopping me. I want to eat normally. whenever I eat I also eat too fast leaving me wanting more but I can't control this I end up binging like crazy. Also, I have an addiction to fast food I can't control I always tell myself I will only eat that today but no I end up getting home and I eat whatever is there adding more calories. I want to be healthier and thinner honestly. But with my mentality, I won't be able to and makes me depressed leaving me with a void to fill which is filled with food. Honestly I feel like shit I just want to eat normally:( submitted by /u/culomojado1 [link]...

I think the worst part about weight loss is that you don’t know how much hunger is too much (will it derail my progress?) or if it’s just your stomach getting used to only being partially full? What are some of your tips that keep you from panicking when you feel those hunger pangs - especially when the day is over and you’ve eaten your allotted calories. Maybe a mantra…? Do I eat some cotton balls? (Kidding!) I think some of this is ingrained…being raised thinking an empty belly is the absolute worst, but my mother was raised very poor so I don’t begrudge her those feelings.

Hey everyone, I really use this subreddit as journaling at this point, I know it might not be meant for this but oh well, maybe some of you can recognize themselves in my journey. I finally took a doctor appointment and for once I'm excited to see how my health is and to do some blood tests. I was never really sick, my blood tests were always alright but my pressure was always high. I started my journey at 358, the last time I went to my doctor was at least 3years ago and I was at 315. I'm currently at 290 and if things keep going well by then I should be close to be down 90-100lbs or I'll be minimum down 90lbs which I'll gladly take. For some reason it got me emotional, the idea that regardless if it's in 2months or 4months, that I will eventually be down 100lbs! It's surreal to me, if someone would have told me a year ago you'll lose 100lbs, I'd have thought they were out of their mind. I still have a long way to go and I'll still be far from ...

As someone who spent the entirety of the first 27 years of my life living off junk food, how do I better manage my urges to eat every piece of junk food in sight? I have been seeing multiple therapists for years now, but I'm interested in hearing from someone who has overcome these habits personally. Even though I do thoroughly enjoy my new healthier food options and like the taste, there is that part of me that wants to binge on donuts, pizzas, cookies, and chips until my stomach ruptures. I have learned through trial and error that there is no middle ground with me. There is no eating in moderation. Every time I work in a couple of slices of cake or a few cookies, all I can think about for the next couple of days is how enjoyable it was and how I would like to eat the whole cake or the whole pack of cookies. I also tried completely abstaining from these "trigger" foods for months, but the desires became too much for me to the point where they were waking me up from sl...

This month has been the worst for me. I’ve had a lot of bad luck and as a result I’ve stumbled a little on my diet and restrictions. Ive lost 45 pounds since October 2020 ( went from 200lb to 155). I’ve worked hard on eating clean and healthy but I’ve gained 5 pounds this month alone. I know it could be water weight but I still feel awful about it. I just over ate a little over my caloric deficit tonight because I was just so hungry and stressed and I feel even worse. My mom recently got diagnosed with stage 1 cancer, I got rejected, I’m about to finish up my job contract and have no other job left for me to do and I start full time college soon. All of this stress this month has led me to an emotional burnout where I can’t even clean my room or get up to shower because of how tired I am. I want to get that self discipline back but sometimes it’s super hard, especially if you’re a foodie, just like I am. Is it wrong to feel this way? submitted by /u/buttreepopcorn [link] [co...

Hey guys! I recently finished chemotherapy and have gained 30 pounds in the process. I didn't really change my eating habits, but my nurses told me it was because of the steroids they were giving me that it caused me to gain so much weight. I'm feeling really insecure and down and I've been trying to eat healthier as well as working out three times a week but I haven't seen any results yet. I've gotten to the point where I have to force myself to eat because I don't want want to gain any more weight. Does anyone have any experience losing steriod weight? Will it come off like normal or do I have to work harder to get it off? submitted by /u/kklooff [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/pfhn2u/losing_steriod_weight/

I've been trying to lose weight from the beginning of March 2021. It's been 6 months since I started, and I'm only down 9 lbs. I'm trying to make sustainable changes to my lifestyle that I will be able to continue doing forever, like increasing the amount of vegetables I eat, drinking enough water (most days), cutting down high calorie foods like butter, cheese and cream, and stopping mindless snacking. Also, I started going on walks a few times a week, but with the summer heat I just haven't been doing that the past few weeks (though the weight is still coming off at the same slow pace). And yes, I see some changes in the mirror - my clothes have become a bit looser and my old clothes fit me better now. I still need to lose around 9 more lbs to be at a healthy weight (and I'd like to keep it off). I see people losing 0.5 to 1 lb a week, and I'm wondering if my weight loss is too slow even for the sustainable lifestyle changes approach. submitted by ...

Or at least maintain it? I'm just afraid of ending up skinnyfat instead of fit like I want to be. And I'm curious to know if it's useful to exercise on a deficit or if I should just lose the fat and then start working out and gaining muscle weight. I don't have a way to know my BFP. Right now I'm 60kg and 170cm. I eat tomates, eggs, ham, roasted potatoes/onions, chocolate, fruits, and coffee with soy milk. On very rare occasions I eat rice, but I can't have pasta, nor seafood. I don't know if what I eat is any good for muscles. I don't have a calorie goal per day in particular, on some days I have 1300-2000, most days I'm anywhere between 600 and 900, and I've manage to steadily lose 13kg so far. I know it's technically not enough but when I start feeling really dizzy, I make sure to eat 1800+ cals of healthy foods to get back on my feet. My maintenance is 1600 by the way. My abs are starting to get visible if I flex but my glutes really j...

I see all these posts with people who lost 50 pounds / 100 pounds and that is great and wonderful! However I don’t see many for people like me who are a stone/ two stone overweight. I lost 7 pounds (1/2 a stone) in three weeks. It was tough and I ate well and started running! This is a post to encourage people that even losing 1/2 pounds a week is brilliant! This sub can be for us fat people who are slagged about being overweight and “fat” without being obese too! I now only need to lose 14 pounds more which is really hard! For my BMI to read normal weight which has never done in 23 years, even with previous diet and working out but I will do, thanks to this sub and the people like me who I have seen achieve their weight loss goals! submitted by /u/redirishlad [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/pf32f0/a_post_for_the_ordinary/

I had a health checkup not too long ago after I lost 40 lbs. I'm not even finished with my weight loss journey yet but already it seems my health readings have skyrocketed. In the past,I was always diagnosed as pre-diabetic with high cholesterol,but now,none of those readings showed up. From the looks of it in fact,I'm perfectly fine. (I'm actually one of the healthiest in the family now,my readings look better than a lot of the thinner members of my family) Its quite the pleasing accomplishment,but also rather surprising as I still have a long way to go before I'm done. anyone else have this experience? submitted by /u/JohnnyEnglishPegasus [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/pf2ced/how_many_of_you_were_formerly_prediabetic/

So my goal is to lose 18 kilos in the next three months. Google tells me there is 225 grams in a Big Mac, so therefore I need to lose 80 Big Macs. Google further tells me there are 578 calories in a Big Mac, so converting I need to lose 46,240 calories in three months. Which is 3,556 calories per week or 508 calories per day. So assuming I keep my reasonably ok current diet steady (I would guess my diet is around maintenance level) , if I can exercise 508 calories per day then I should make some reasonable inroads on my goal. My fitness tracker tells me I burn 25 calories per kilometre when riding my bicycle. So I need to ride an average of 20 kms per day. Would appreciate any comments on this plan. submitted by /u/karma3000 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/pf1hym/can_someone_please_check_my_logic_re_cico/

Sugar! the absolute bane of my existence, I would find myself gorging on chocolate, doughnuts, muffins etc. really excessively. I have never been huge, overweight definitely but never huge I am 5'9 Male SW:99kg, CW: 91kg GW: 80kg. I was never active and that coupled with a terrible diet led to my weight gain. I have recently had my first child and saw pictures of how big I was starting to get, along with constant fatigue and snoring. I attempted to fast but found myself gorging on sugary foods later in the day (yes poor discipline). However what I found is my sugar cravings really spiked when I was hungry, so instead I have organised my lunch for the day with minimal sugars but healthy foods to ensure if I snack it's healthy by ensuring I am not getting to the stage of being very hungry I have found self control has been far easier and I am already feeling my energy increase and find myself not to tired to go the gym.

Im up 15 lbs ( i think) in 2 months due to binge eating, emotional eating and injury. I used to think i was fat, but now when i look back at old pictures i realized that i wasn't fat like at all. I wish i had enjoyed my body more when i was fit, if i still had that body i would've wear cute clothes and all. Also fitness used to be a big part of my life but now its like non-existent (the gym got closed again). And i know i can do home workouts but it doesn't feel the same, so i just walk a lot. I dont really care about lifting weights, strength training anymore since i just want to lose the fat. But i do miss those activities. Thing is i don't even know if my old gym clothes still fit.. lol If the old me saw me right now, she would beat the shit out of me and i would get mad at her for being stupidly insecure.

Male | 5’6 SW: 165 CW: 143 GW: 135 So I’ve been on this weight loss journey about 100 days now. I know it hasn’t really been long but I’ve lost a lot of weight and I’m happy about it. For the most part I look very thin from the outside. The only thing I can’t seem to lose is chest fat and mostly love handle region. I know for men that tends to be hardest fat to burn. I was hoping other people could give me some advice or experiences as I’m getting a little frustrated. After losing so much over 3 months it seems my weight loss has slowed and I only lost 2 pounds this month. In addition I don’t see much change in the desired area, I just need some motivation to keep on losing with little results. submitted by /u/Embarrassed-Jury8896 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/pez3ba/losing_belly_fat/

Hey everyone, I'm not normally active here but I thought I'd check something. I've started HRT (Estrogen) like 3 months ago and over the past week I've been loosing weight like crazy. For the past 16 days I've been loosing around 0.1kg per day (from 64.9kg to 62.5). I tried forcing myself to eat lots of snacks and chocolate to try and keep my weight up and it worked for a while but I always felt tired and overfull. Now I've come off and I'm only eating when I'm hungry again I've dropped right back down to 61.9kg. Is this normal and healthy? I've stopped eating anywhere near as much food: Used to be Breakfast, snacks/lunch, plus a premade dinner. Now I just eat 1 third of a premade dinner for breakfast plus the rest in the evening and occasionally like a pear or a small snickers bar. submitted by /u/Mimsy42 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/pf15xb/am_i_loosing_at_a_healthy_rate/

I replied to someone's comment and that reply got surprising amount of prise so maybe it's useful on its own merit for some here. It's very easy to fall into a trap of I fucked up a bit may as well fuck all the way. I think we have all been there. We couldn't eat healthy at lunch time so fuck it may as well make the most out of it and have extra helping of pudding and pint of beer. I has changed for me when I started to treat weight loss/ healthy weight maintenance as any other selfcare activity. If I was to fall asleep without brushing my teeth in the evening, I would not wake up thinking "Well I have fucked it last night may as well not bother brushing today either". If I had too much too drink on the weekend, I would not wake up thinking "Well that is it time to chug that wine till next Friday I suppose". Nor when I start getting really drunk on a night out would I think to myself "May as well keep drinking until I pass out". If I ...

When you're losing weight, your bodies natural set point is also dropping as well. Losing 2lbs instead of 1lbs may feel like faster progress, but really it's only a temporary benefit and it will not be sustainable long term. You will have insane cravings and even potentially have lowered energy levels. The faster the weight comes off, the higher your set point will remain and it will be very easy to gain it all back. Don't be afraid to lock in your weight loss gains, maintaining a new bodyweight for month or two may not feel as rewarding, but just know that your body is adapting to the new weight and you still are making progress even at a stable bodyweight. submitted by /u/JJZinna [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/pezlh1/small_tip_for_keeping_the_weight_off/

So here's my story; About a month ago I was struggling a lot with CICO, food constantly on my mind and feeling like an endless pit with whatever I ate. (TW) I was binging and purging a lot, almost everyday, until I decided to give myself a break and give in to the cravings. For about 5 days I ate whatever I wanted, more than my TDEE. It's been 3 weeks now that I've got back into CICO. I've decided to take it easy and NOT start with working out again BUT I've been eating at the deficit I was before. Last week I realised I've been bloated, it was 5 days before my period so that could be it but I don't remember it happening before and it should have gone away by now(?) So my problem is, have I gained a gut? Is it possible even though I have been going strong for 3 weeks, if not that then what is it and why have I got this level of bloating. Its making me lose a lot of motivation... submitted by /u/cr1stata [link] [comments] source https://www.r...

I’m on my twentieth day of counting calories, and it remains pretty fun. I’m also enjoying losing weight, and every pound of water weight lost right now is just one less actually difficult pound of fat I need to lose… but seeing this kind of loss is a little disconcerting. I’ve been assured that it’s fine since it’s mostly water weight, and that so long as I’m not eating too little and messing up my metabolism there’s nothing to worry about… but I’m just not the biggest fan of how this water is choosing to leave my body. It’s strangely hard to find information on this, I guess because most topics involving weight loss come back to someone trying to make money in one way or another. Most sources said you could expect to lose water weight in the first week, while one that I can no longer find said losing twenty pounds in the first month isn’t all that strange. Is there a way to at least roughly estimate how much water weight you’re holding onto relative to body weight, or how long i...

9 months ago I was obese, perpetually uncomfortable in my own skin, and could not imagine running a mile at anything resembling jogging speed. Over the weekend, I ran (not walked) a motherfucking 10K. 10K. 6.2137 goddamn miles. I’m about 60lb down thanks to Noom (which is maybe a controversial program here??) and within spitting distance of a “normal” BMI. Weight loss isn’t everything. I’m still learning to love myself. And part of that self love is accepting that it’s ok to shout your victories from the rooftops, big or small. Without this subreddit I would not have started my weight loss journey. And before I started getting healthy I really, truly, at my core, would have never believed I could run a 5k let alone a 10K. It’s worth reiterating: You can do this. If you’re just starting out, getting healthy is worth the tough times, the new routines, and the general struggle that comes with big life changes. You have the capacity to make it happen. If you are at a plateau, keep p...

Last summer I reached my goal weight of 200 lbs but sadly it didn't last. I got back into overeating and not exercising causing me to go back to 227lbs. I am 6'1"M who currently attends college. I'm planning on going back on the weightloss journey but was hoping for a few tips. I lost my weight last time by doing workout videos that only focused on core and having a calorie deficit. However this time I would like to maintain my weight once I reach it which is in the 185lb area. I found that I enjoy lifting because you can see results besides just the weight loss. So currently I am eating about 1,500 calories each day, walking about 30-45 minutes each day due to classes and lifting for around 40 minutes each day. My current workout plan is as follows: Monday: bicep/back Tuesday: tricep/chest Wednesday: legs/shoulders Thursday: bicep/back Friday: tricep/chest Saturday: legs/shoulders Sunday: rest This is probably a novice question but will my body burn fat befor...

Hey community! Sorry in advance for my sob story but i was hoping that sharing this with people on the same journey will help me continue and maybe we can share stories and bumps in the road and help eachother. So, i was normal weight (even thin) all my life until i got pregnant (at 34 years old). My "baby" is now almost 5 years old. The problem wasnt the pregnancy per se but all the weight i keep gaining afterwards, year after year after year. The baby, the no sleep, the no time for excersising. Now im obese. Finally, february 2020 i decided i will change everything: my diet, my excersise habits. Rented a city bike, started riding it to work everyday, yada yada. A month later, pandemic started. My city (and country) literally forbid people to go out. Started working remote. I live in a TINY apartment with the 4 year old and my husband. Lockdown. Did a bit of youtube vids but it was almost impossible with NO room and my kid running around. Spent months indoors seeing no on...

Hi. Making this from a non throwaway, which means I’ll probably delete this, but I gotta get this off my chest. I am at the point of just being completely exasperated with my health and trying to lose weight and how much it’s affecting everything I think and do. I am in incredibly poor shape. 35 year old male. 4’9”. 330 lbs. My first child is 2 now and when my wife was pregnant I really wanted to lose weight to be a better father. I kept saying we have 8 months, I’ll get on it ASAP. Then 7… 6… 5… nothing changed. So, I started the process of getting the sleeve surgery in September 2020. Since then, it has been struggle after struggle trying to get surgery. Colonoscopy, endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, low iron, infusions, really struggling with cpap, can’t find a therapist taking new clients, hematology issues so I’ll be on extended blood thinners. Still not surgery date set. Now my second child will be born near the end of the year and I feel like an absolute failure. Tonight is o...

But I am worried about the calculations which I have done because I am very scared of gaining weight ( I was previously 260 lbs) . So I have used many different websites and formulas to work out how many calories I should be eating and they are all coming out to around 2600 calories to lose 1 lb every week . But I think it may be too much but I do not want to be eating too little as I need the energy to train . Does anyone have insight on this topic to help me overcome this problem or maybe can DM me some advice please. submitted by /u/Determinedtoloseit [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/petrzf/confused_about_calorie_deficit/

Hi everyone. Posting this from a backup account as it’s somewhat embarrassing. I’ve (M25) been working from home during the entire pandemic, and admittedly have been much lazier and less active than I should be. I know my diet hasn’t been as good as it was pre March of last year either. I’ve gained some weight because of these lifestyle changes and I’m definitely aware of that. I don’t have a scale at home and I haven’t had my gym membership since when it closed at the beginning of COVID, so I don’t know exactly how much I weigh right now. I’ve had to upsize a few sizes on my clothes, but couldn’t tell you exactly how much I’ve gained. But I was about 160 pounds last summer when I last saw my parents. I came to visit them this week, and when I got out of my car at their house in the driveway they looked like they saw a ghost. They didn’t even say anything at first and were just like “Oh wow! Well don’t you look different!” I gave them hugs and what not and my mom said: “Wow I can bar...

Hi everyone, I love this community and find the comments really kind and insightful so I was hoping maybe from your experiences, your input could help me out. I'm in my late 20s and have been morbidly obese since forever. I feel it's the kind of obesity where people know I'm fat but I'm so energetic and they've never known me skinny so at this point it gets overlooked. Except I know it affects me and the severity of this has recently dawned on me. 5-6 years ago, my ALT enzymes were really high but the doctors just put it down to a medication overdose. They kept asking me if I drank but I was sober. I saw another post on Reddit recently and realised that I've probably been ignoring NAFLD for half a decade and carrying on like this is a death sentence. Another example is that I distinctly remember struggling to walk up a hill and coughing to cover it up back in 2013... it's been 8 years and it's only getting worse. Another is having PCOS since 2014 but...

Height: 5'11 SW: 172 CW: 169 GW: 161 Hi all. I've always flucuated around 161 - 175 and I weighed myself last week and came in at 172. So it's within what I normally am but I've noticed that I'm carrying a lot more around my waist. I did a rough measurement last week and it was 32.8, and today it's 32.5. Clothes that fit me pre-pandemic are a bit harder to wear comfortably now. So I'd like to get back to 31 if possible. I inputted my stats into TDEE and put down my activity as sedentary, and my maintenance calories came in at 2,063. Updated to today's weight and it's 2,046. I'm WFH and I don't move a whole lot during the day but I try and get 10-15k steps in daily. I try to fit in some sport during the week too. So I started to log what I've been eating on Myfitnesspal. I did this years back and found it helpful but I don't intend on doing it long term as I can become obsessed with this sort of thing. I input my calorie goal as 2,...

My stats: F, 25, 130kgs. I’ve just started a 3 month placement block as a student radiographer. I freaking love this job and I was so excited to be in a new site with new machines and to really get hands on. Then came the time for me to assist with a fluoroscopy procedure (live-action xrays basically). For these procedures, as radiographers we remain in the room while the exposure is happening and we need to wear Lead gowns to protect ourselves. I tired on the first lead gown and it was too small, same with the second, and finally the third mostly fit, but it didn’t fully wrap around the bottom of me. They let me stay for the procedure but the whole changing into 3 different gowns before one even fit semi-well was crushing. And now I’m so hesitant to go in again not only because to me, it was embarrassing as hell, but I also don’t feel fully protected as the gown doesn’t wrap around my lower half properly. I just need some encouraging stories of successful weight loss, tips and tricks...

F, 28, 257lb. Ive been tracking everything I eat on MFP for the last two weeks (almost religiously - missed recording my evening meal on one day and can't remember what it was). My TDEE is 2300 so I put my goal on MFP for 2000 and I've consistently exceeded it by at least 300, usually more like 600. I have no discipline. I'm eating too many snacks (chocolate, ice cream, brownies) and I know that I need to not, but I still keep doing it. I need to find a way to shove more protein in there. I can't stand being hungry. Does anyone have any tips? I know this mess is my own fault, and my doctor has referred me to a weight loss clinic which will be helpful, but I have another medical issue that's being investigated that might be due to my weight, so I need to make a start. My breakfasts are pretty good - the habit I've been working on the last two weeks is preparing breakfast in advance: I've been doing various overnight oats recipes with Greek yoghurt, and I...

28F SW: 240lbs CW: 190lbs GW: 155lbs So, I’ve been fat my whole life. After managing to lose 50lbs in 2014/2015, I took it all back and more over the three following years because grad school. I’ve been trying to slowly lose weight for two years now, with the goal of it being permanent and not rebound. I started with joining a Japanese drums group, then going to the gym 2 times a week, then 3, then 4, then finally changing my diet and starting to do CICO last October. I reached 50lbs lost this week all while managing to maintain about 52% muscle rate. Well, because of covid I can’t go to my gym right now and decided to go for a run in my neighborhood. My whole life I have been an absolute disaster when running, having no endurance whatsoever. I absolutely hated the running part of PE in high school, especially the dreaded “beep test” and the annual 3km run because I was always one of the last ones to finish these in my entire 3000 kids high school. Well, for the first time in my l...

My husband gained a lot of weight in about 2 years, before we got married. He needs to lose 20 kgs more to be in healthy BMI range. After marriage, I convinced him to lose weight. And he lost about 10 kgs over a few months. He's now hit a plateau and has lost motivation to continue. I always have to tell him to go to gym, to not eat unhealthy... He does it only after I tell him to like he's doing me a favour... And nowadays he's getting frustrated with me saying that. I have severe health anxiety and I'm so so scared about the effects of weight on health (he knows that too). I spent so long crying today morning thinking about it. I look at this sub and see so many people with a desire to lose weight and I feel so jealous. I wish my husband also put in the same effort. I was overweight a few years ago and I know the struggles of weightloss. I logged my food, went to gym everyday, went on a strict diet for a year (could resist even my favourite foods in moments of we...

Hey all, not sure if required but here are my stats: 31 Male / 5’7 / 130.3kg/287 lbs I’ve joined here because I’ve finally realised, I can’t go on the way I’ve been living. This weekend that just passed I attended a Bucks Event for one of my oldest friends featuring around 9 other guys. I was super excited as most of the guys I am also good friends with and after a stressful few weeks it would be a chance to let off some steam. It was hosted on a Saturday and the day was split into two main sections, the 1st being a Paintball Session at midday and the 2nd being dinner and copious drinking later in the evening (naturally). I was sightly apprehensive about the paintball session as I knew it had the potential for embarrassment on my part (being a larger guy and not particularly used to high impact, exercise type situations) but what happened was frankly embarrassing beyond anything I could have predicted. We were allocated into teams and then told to come collect our overalls. The ...

The operation underwent as planned. They told me it took about an hour and a half (as planned) but I was out cold for much longer than that - I regained full consciousness about 8 hours after the operation has begun (I only have snippets of waking up before). The next day I was taken for an X-ray to check whether the new stomach is not leaking (it wasn't) and for a USG to check everything. All was fine. I was allowed to drink water (I should drink around a liter). The next day they sent me home. All is good. I don't feel hungry, I feel only a little pain from the wounds from the operation, but they are healing fast. I can drink soups or eat yogurts now, in a few days I can introduce some solid food to my diet (with great caution though). I was taken to the hospital last Monday and have lost 8,5 kg so far. It's going well so far. Thank you for all the encouraging words under my last post! submitted by /u/Argemen2 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.c...

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...
