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...

Any advise or explanations why weight loss causes hair loss? I’m 95% sure it’s my diet, because this happened to me before. What stinks is I haven’t lost that much maybe 5 to 10lbs. If that. But still my hair is falling out like crazy. Last time I went to a doctor she said there’s really nothing that can be done. She said, by the time biotin goes through me, for it to work I’d have to take it for 6 months. I’m hoping one of you have some answers for me. Incase you are wondering….I cut out red meats and pasta. Yup, that’s it. And the weight is falling off!!!! The other thing is once a week I eat cabbage soup for a few days. That’s all I’ve done really that’s changed. I guess I feel better, because I’ve caught a few guys looking at my butt in the grocery store. Which wasn’t happening a few months ago. Not the point, but back to hair loss. Anyone got ideas? As to why? Or what I should take vitamin wise to help? I’m very upset about it my hair is down to my mid back. I’m thinking it’...

tonight i got my photo taken with my halloween pumpkins and, of course, was confronted with the reality of my weight. the photo wasn't painful to look at and, tbh, i think if i dressed properly i could look sort of cute fat. i mean, to me that's not the end goal, i'm just saying i don't think i look the worst i've ever looked. although i'm not a monster and i don't hate my body, i still think that if most women my age were to find themselves in my body, they would be horrified and eat nothing but salads and drink nothing but water until they looked better. as someone who would like to have a normal, healthy bmi that wouldn't cause a slim person to panic, i think a question i should ask myself more often is 'do you really think you should be eating that?' if someone else were to ask me that, i would tell them to go fuck themselves because i can eat whatever the hell i want. it's part of my nature to be defensive, a contrarian, to resist auth...

SW:190 CW:140 GW:120 I started working out this January 2021 and by June I lost 50 pounds. I’m proud of myself. I feel healthier and by that I mean my skin no longer breaks out, I have more energy to do things, I no longer have upper back pain and sleep is much better. Prior to losing weight I had red stretch marks on my stomach and well NOW they’re no longer red. Some are completely gone and other stretch marks look white. My question is do stretch marks ever go away completely ??? I don’t like how I lost weight and still deal with the fact that I still have stretch marks ???!? I tried cicatricure, Mederma,and Bio Oil on my stretch marks and they’re still noticeable? Please don’t hate on me y’all I’m trying my best to love myself. I’m not seeking attention or anything. I had stretch marks since I was 12 year old girl on my stomach and Now I’m 20. So I’m obviously very insecure at that fact that I don’t feel confident now either. I felt insecure ever since I got red stretch marks as...

I posted a few weeks ago about gaining the weight I lost back. I took your advices and got my shit together, and I am almost back to the weight I was, just 2 pound left. I went from 150 to 142, and I look lean like before. I know a good chunk of it is water, but its still incredible. This is not a short term thing, I was around 150 for at least a month. I thought it was water retention at first but after a month I gave up hope. ​ Does it mean I was just retaining water before? Because I was bingeing on lots of sugary things. I did notice that I weighed a lot more than I expected (from counting calories) before. I also had my period recently (which is irregular due to IUD). I mean, I had a pretty big deficit of 1500 calories per day and I eat significantly less carbs but it was mainly from walking as I have a treadmill desk and I am more productive using it which I need for my exams happening now. I am confused. submitted by /u/adah2000 [link] [comments] source https://w...

Hey. I currently weigh 140 kgs / 310 pounds. In 2020, I lost 30 kgs through keto alone. Zero exercise. No cheat days. This year, I started going to the gym regularly while still on keto and ended up plateauing for months. Frustrated with the lack of results, plus being thrown into another lockdown, I've relapsed and regained 10 kgs. I need something extreme, especially since gyms aren't open yet. I'm thinking about doing keto + IF, allowing myself a 4 hour window from 6pm to 10pm. (I wake up and sleep late and I don't mind not eating during the day.) I've tried to look into which intermittent fasting technique or time period is the most effective for weight loss but there seems to be a lack of data. I'm assuming the larger the fasting period, the more effective it would be? Anyway, tldr: Planning on doing keto + 20:4 IF. Good idea or do I need to make an alteration to my plan? I'd appreciate any advice. Cheers. submitted by /u/JapaneseUltron [l...

Hi everyone, I’m a 5’8 M coming from 271 lbs now at 215. It’s taken me about 6 1/2 months. In that time, I’ve fallen in love with running and lifting, which has aided my diet in weight loss, until recently. Ive had trouble losing over the past month and have fluctuated between 214-218 with no real drop in sight. In this past month, I’ve incorporated Brazilian jiu jitsu 3x a week for 2 hours a piece. This extra work has made me extremely hungry. I haven’t been acting on this hunger for the most part, but haven’t had any further weight loss since upping my workout regimen. I thought adding this in would have an impact on my weight loss, but it’s only made my deficit more difficult to maintain. I’m worried about slipping on my diet, or if my body isn’t being given the amount of calories I need to maintain weight loss? Building muscle? Im looking for any advice on what may be going on, and what I can do to adjust my diet for the new exercise volume to make me less ravenous after big worko...

For reference I'm 24/F/5'4.5", SW 136lbs, CW 104lbs. I wanna start by saying that I've struggled with body image issues and my weight even since puberty (when I was 10 years old). At the time I gained weight really quickly and was overweight (before this I was at a normal weight). My highest weight was 160lbs but it dropped between 150-155lbs. I maintained that weight throughout my teenaged years. I was really upset about my weight and felt disgusting, ugly and fat. I was also going through a difficult time and I would often emotionally eat. I dreamed of being skinny. When I started university at the age of 18, I became very stressed and unintentionally lost 14 pounds in a month (136lbs). I was happy about the weight loss and felt more confident in my body. Fast forward to 2020 when the pandemic started. I kept seeing posts online about how many people were gaining weight during the pandemic. I live with my parents and sister and I noticed that they were gaining we...

hi all...this will be a long one. I am a long-time reddit user who recently deleted my old account because I got toxic with asking for advice from strangers on the internet then taking it too much to heart. but atm I dont know where else to go and I needed to vent. my life is...an emotional mess. and my weight is hugely suffering (no pun intended). I dont even know where to begin. there is so much I need to "work on" that I feel overwhelmed and now years have passed without me even bothering.I have always been big. my whole life. starting weight (and highest ive ever been) was 314lbs) been bullied for it at school and at home. it wasn't till last year (sept 2020) that I suddenly decided I wanted to lose weight for ME. im not even really sure why. in dec 2020 I was living in NYC for my phd. I was loving life. going out, meeting people, parting, exploring, starting dating a super hot guy (I wanted to try out casual dating since I couldnt find a serious BF and started to...

I restarted my fitness journey this summer after moving across the country with my boyfriend. I’ve lost almost 25lbs (depending on the days fluctuation lol) and we have been pushing ourselves to go to the gym together 5/7 days of the week. Which doesn’t always happen, but we really do our best. I lost 20lbs just by counting calories and walking. Nothing else. I didn’t lift, didn’t do bike, nothing. I’m proud of myself for sticking with walking, it was an easy way to get myself moving and start off! Now, I have added the arm/back machines at my local planet fitness. My routine is 30 minutes cardio then 15-20 on those machines. I became a little bored with walking, and wanted to switch it up, so I tried the elliptical. I love how much it makes me sweat, but I hate the machine. It’s doing what it is supposed to, which is make my legs work.But it hurts so bad, it’s just so strange that I was up to 12 incline on the treadmill with almost no problems, and them level 1 on the elliptical kic...

Yesterday, I went to the doctor's office and weight 47 kgs which should be within my weight goal of 45 - 50 kgs (im 4'11 and was considered overweight at 55 kgs) but rn i an experiencing lots of stressors on that day too and ate 2100 calories. As youve guessed it, i gained 2 kgs when i stepped into the scale the next day I panicked, tried to compensate by reducing the calories the next day and exercising more. But its like a dam got broken. I kept eating. I want to eat less than 1000 calories to compensate but im eating 1200, 1300 even with the exercise. The 1200 calorie diet was recommended by my doctor who diagnosed me with prediabetes. And im having a hard time right now trying to gain control. I feel sick of myself, i want to vomit. I honestly feel like im in a cusp of an eating disorder but i feel like thats just an excuse I dont want to think about food or diet anymore. But since i have prediabetes that is not an option I dont know what to do anymore. Can someone pls...

People advantage weight for numerous motives, which include the usage of particular medications, damage, hormonal imbalances, genetic mutations, poor dietary behavior, and sedentary lifestyles. Gaining weight does not arise overnight. Instead, your gadget begins to save fat step by step till it is able to no longer manage the fats-storing process. Equally, dropping weight isn't an smooth feat. Some human beings can lose fat through making lifestyle and nutritional modifications. Weight loss dietary supplements are many humans’s favored manner of fighting excess fats. Natural nutritional formulas are smooth to devour, cope with the foundation purpose of weight advantage, and are cost-powerful. However, the marketplace has a number of counterfeit and substandard weight reduction formulation sold with the aid of unscrupulous companies. Some have low-high-quality elements, even as others have chemical compounds that can supply customers adverse reactions. Exipure dietary system is a b...

SW193llb, GW 123lbs. I'm on medication that affects mulitple dopamine receptors, glucose tolerance and increases ghrelin levels. Half of the people on it become obese - myself included in that figure. I have put on 80lbs since starting it. It also increases my risk of diabetes 5 fold, increases cholesterol levels, heart disease etc - some of that increase is due to the metabolic syndrome that it causes. I cannot come off this medication. It's just not an option. So I have to deal with it. I tried for 4 months earlier this year and I lost 9lb over 4 months - but I was busting my arse (I thought) to do it. This time I've starting using MyFitnessPal, and going on really long walks when I can have time with no kids. I'm just a couple of weeks in to it - so there is a fair amount of water weight in there, but I KNOW I'm in deficit. I KNOW I will see more results. I just need to stay focused - and will likely always have to log my food and exercise to stay on track. I...

I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager. Everytime I've had success, I get burnt out over time and return to my old habits. I've been putting a lot of thought lately into what I need to do to make some long term changes. I currently weigh 250 and would ultimately like to be about 175. I had a baby last August (2020) and told myself when she weaned I would do something about it. It's been over a month and I'm still not doing anything. I've realized about 80% of my struggle is coming up with what to eat - it's exhausting! I was thinking about coming up with two months worth of menus that I could just cycle through. I could do the same breakfast/lunch for a week but need some variety with dinners. So I would need 8ish breakfast and lunch ideas then maybe 45 dinners as I could reuse some. I don't have a lot of hurdles for B&L. I work from home 4 days a week so I have my full kitchen and I'm not overly picky. For dinner, I would like to m...

So to start i went to the doctor today and i got weighed my weight loss goal is 134 pounds it feels so far away from where i am now which is a 530 pound 5 ft 4 woman. I feel that I’m gaining weight at a rapid speed because 3 months ago i was 496 pounds and i gained 24 pounds in only 3 months! I just know i need to change I’m so tired of my back hurting and running out of breath easily even my desk job is getting affected by it! I can just say I’m happy with being this size but it would be lying. One of the worst parts is that all my weight transfers to my belly which is super difficult to lug around a almost 2 foot long tummy around. I know what to do but i need guidance and i hope this community can help me.

For context, I started counting calories in 2010 or 2011 and I've been in "maintenance" for a while, but I'm trying to crack down on 10 lbs I gained back. For that to be successful for me, I know I have to be really strict about calorie counting and weighing myself every day. I feel fine about that most days, but sometimes I'll hear about a person who has an eating disorder, and their disordered behaviors sound a lot like my own. An example: yesterday, I found myself still a bit hungry late in the evening, but had no calories left. I knew I was going to a birthday party today where there would be cake and probably other junk food, so I decided to just push through the hunger and enjoy the party today instead. For me, that choice felth very healthy and like good self control, but if I told someone like my mom that I let myself go to bed hungry so that I could enjoy cake the next day, she'd be worried that I have an eating disorder. I guess what I'm wonde...

I'm male 17 176cm and currently 91kg about 200 pounds. My goal is to lose around 20kg by the end of March 2022 I don't have access to a gym any advice would be appreciated. If it help pretty much 90% of my fat is located in the upper half of my body before it got cold as shit I bike a lot so I've got a pretty well built lower half just need to work on the top now. The whole reason I got to this point was due to ADHD meds making me want to eat more from a young ange and now that I've been off for around 2 years I have no idea what to do to loose weight.

m21, 185 pounds, 6’0 for reference i didn’t know how else to describe them, so i went with “phantom calories” to get us in the spooky mood. ive been dieting and losing weight since january this year and have lost about 110 pounds, but i’m still scared that ill log my food wrong and overeat accidentally. i even use a food scale and measure everything by gram (unless i eat the whole container, like those pre-packaged protein drinks or a whole can of fish, then i just log the whole container). despite weighing everything, i’m worried that i’m going to mess up and weigh something wrong. or, more frighteningly, ive heard that calorie amounts can be off by more than you’d think. i have no reason to worry that this is happening. ive been consistently losing weight this entire time, but im still worried that my weight loss might stall because i chronically eat something that has a mislabeled calorie amount. i kinda wrote this to vent about what’s going on inside my head, but if anyone has...

Hey, I was just wondering... is it even a realistic goal for someone like myself who at my heaviest was 443lb, with 260lb to lose to get to my goal weight to imagine myself one day having defined and tight pecs and abs? Is that even possible with body contouring surgery / loose skin removal? Or will there always be loose skin / sagging at this point that will never really get me to the same level of tautness that you see in magazines and other media of physically fit men? I want to do this for my health... but I have never had that kind of body in my life and it is one of my biggest goals. I just don't want to idolize and hold that goal on a pedestal if it's entirely unrealistic. I was wondering if anyone knows of even one example on the internet or can point me to some progress photos showing someone who has had SIGNIFICANT weight to lose who went from morbidly obese (400+) to shredded after the fact.

I'm pretty new to gymming, been at it for about a month and a half. I noticed that after I finish my workouts, I'll be completely exhausted, but I'll feel like I have enough energy for another full gym session several hours later. Is this normal? Should I just pace myself more between my sets/take breaks and continue later? Feeling like I have enough energy later makes me feel like I didn't put enough effort into my first session, should I just go to the gym a second time in one day? I'm not sure if it's just because my brain is pumping adrenaline into my body or not because I'm really eager to lose weight. submitted by /u/throwaway812__ [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/qjfsgx/i_get_tired_quickly_but_i_also_recover_quickly/

I am 20M, 5'8 and 180lbs. My goal is to lose 40lbs and get back to 140lbs as soon as possible. I already started a couple days ago, but heres my plan: Eat 2500 calories a day. 100 grams or more protein everyday to help keep on muscle. Burn 3500 calories everyday. This will include me riding my bike for for 90-120 mins everyday and daily résistance training. So there should be about a 1000 calorie deceit everyday, which should lose me about 2 pounds per week. 20 weeks to reach my goal of 40lbs. Preferably I would like to lose it faster but from what I know it seems like a bad idea, would slow down my metabolism too much and would lose a lot of muscle instead of fat. So please tell me what you guys think of my plan. Is it too aggressive or can I do more? Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

I really don’t know if this is the right place to post this so lmk if there’s a better sub. I started my weight loss journey 254 days ago and it has been going extremely well. It was the first time I wasn’t emotional about the process and just counted everything. Had a few cheat days but no major relapses or anything and I’m happy with what I look like, even though my journey is not completely done. I do have a problem though. Ever since I reached a major milestone of abt 70 lost, I kind of just think less of fat people. Not like chubby or overweight but huge people that remind me of before I started CICO. I just kinda think they’re lazy and think that a lot of this “body positivity” is really stupid. I know it’s wrong to judge people like that, and I know I hated myself when I was that big and felt bad about it so it’s likely these people do too. It was just so easy for me that I see all these people with BMIs of 35+ and I can’t respect them as people cuz they can’t control their ...

Hi there! First time posting here. This post is more of a "off my chest" and questions. So. Here I am, 25M, 5 feet 10 inches and three quarter, 205 lbs. Here is my story. Weight fluctuations (chronology) When I was a kid (yes let's start there), I was a skinny small kid that liked to be cuddled in tightly in my bedsheets. Like a little sausage. Then, APPARENTLY when my parents got divorced, I started to gain weight. My peak was in university not so long ago where I weighted approximately 216 lbs or perhaps 222 lbs I don't remember. I lost weight during COVID when I moved back to my mom's house to live there with her and my sister instead of staying alone in my room with no one else. That was a good move. My mom and I started to watch our calories and we both lost weight. She continues today to track her calories, but I abandonned a long time ago. I got as low as 198 lbs. Now, I live alone again in a new city (since May 2021) with, like, 1 friend (not that c...

Hey everyone, I hope you all are doing well. So recently I've wanted to get back on the weight loss goal that I set, but couldn't do because of two waves of the pandemic in my country and various other reasons. I wanted to start a healthy habit that continues in 2022 and not make it a new year's resolution that I end up failing The first time I lost weight at 19, I didn't really make sustainable habits and lost 30kg, but I would constantly beat myself up for eating so much, be happy for starving myself and got into self harm and in short depression and the need to be judged on the on my weight really caused me to drastic steps to lose weight. I'm currently 23 years old and at 110Kg (242 Pounds) and would like to go down to 100-102 Kg (220-224 pounds) by the year end. I'm currently in a better place mentally, but this time I want to lose weight sustainably and would need your help in doing so. I've associated weight loss with a negative mindset because of ...

I [22M] have been trying to lose weight for a very long time. Through the first half of 2020, I got down from 225 to 190, then hit a plateau for over a year. Come august, I returned to my college campus and finally had access to a gym again, and started exercising multiple times a week, where I’m jogging for at least 2 miles and a mix of jogging and running for the remainder of 1 or 2 hours, for maybe 4-5 hours of exercise a week, more depending on how busy I am. During August and September, I ate roughly 1750 calories a day. Despite the relatively large calorie deficit and exercise, I wasn’t losing any weight, so I lowered my daily intake to 1500 calories starting in the last week of September. Despite this, I’m still stuck at around 185-187 lbs. I don’t know where to go from here, because I just want to drop another 15 lbs, which shouldn’t be so hard after losing 35! submitted by /u/Maxerature [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/qjdcwm/ext...

I have my Apple Watch synced to lose it! and my weight loss plan set to sedentary (work from home with light Pilates during the week and hiking on weekends) and losing 2lbs per week (female/35yo). My calorie limit from lose it is 1432kcal/day, which sounds fine if I’m trying to lose quickly. However, I also have my Apple Watch synced which will add about 500 calories per day from “Active Energy” even if I’m not exercising. The catch is I also know from experience that I have a low metabolism and that if I eat close to 2k a day then I will not lose weight, even with moderate exercise. How can I modify either the active energy settings or lose it calories so I have a better idea of what my calorie limit actually needs to be? I know I can’t choose to eliminate the active energy calories completely, but they seem very high for my activity level. submitted by /u/apoptoticdeath [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/qjbpxa/loseit_calorie_limit_seems_...

22, F, 80kgs, 5’3ft, student. My parents bring all these unhealthy junk food to home in large quantities, everyday I think to myself that I will stop eating those foods and it’s my last day today, but it doesn’t work. Since in my culture, children are not allowed to move out of their parents’ house till they are married, I can’t move out and I am stuck. I asked my parents if they could at least hide it or keep it somewhere I can’t see, they said no and I should learn to control my self own my own. I tried to control myself but I can’t, I seriously need help. I binge eat like crazy and then regret it the second later. Any advice to stop binge eating? Edit: I meant junk* in the title 😅 submitted by /u/Cleo_knight [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/qiyhod/my_parents_bring_kick_foods_to_home_every_day/

On mobile so sorry about the formatting! I was sitting with a group of aunties yesterday. They started discussing multiple food etc then the topic of dieting was brought up. Everyone knows I am on a diet, I went from 106 to 70 kg at 161 cm in about a year. The aunties know that because I keep rejecting food etc. One of them looks at me and says was laughing "I sometimes want to have dinner then I think of you and I stop". I smiled and remained silent really because it's none of my business but I found it funny. It's kind of a humble brag? I don't comment on people's weight nor give diet advices unless asked because whatever works for someone wouldn't work for someone else. submitted by /u/idk_wwx [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/qiyf31/i_skipped_dinner_when_i_thought_of_you/

I'm doing a very strict diet to lose weight quickly (meeting ex girlfriend and I don't want her to see me fat.) And honestly the worst thing about it isn't hunger, it's that feeling of I don't know what to do with myself ?? I usually end up smoking weed, which sometimes makes me hungrier, so then I take a couple ritalin (I'm prescribed) and that makes the hunger go away but then I have to smoke more weed again to fall asleep. I'm taking a lot of ritalin right now and just trying to get through all the projects I need to do. I feel this weird disassociation and disconnection from reality. Kinda light headed and not really bothered by anything. I've been doing this diet for a month, happy with my weight loss, but I need to keep it up for another couple months. I'd like some tactics to distract myself, if anyone knows what I'm talking about. I do exercise sometimes but I get dizzy easily because of the low amount of food. submitted by /u/tt...

I went to a birthday dinner with a few friends I went to grad school with. I’ve gained quite a bit of weight in the last few years due to a combination of hypothyroidism, PCOS, and an anxiety medication that caused very rapid weight gain. I know I need to lose weight. I am working on it. I don’t love the way I look, but I’m much better than I was before in terms of just accepting where I am now and knowing it isn’t a permanent situation and hiding myself or avoiding photos doesn’t change reality. But still, how do you deal with situations like this? All three of the women I went out with are very thin, and are least 5 inches taller than me. I’m very short so the weight looks particularly noticeable on my short frame. One of the women, the entire night, just kept calling herself fat and objectively speaking, she is not, by any measure, fat. As we talked about stories of when we were in school, she would again find a way to reference her own self in this way, when she has never object...
