| Holy shit I lost 100lbs in 6 months! Posted: 14 Mar 2020 06:31 PM PDT I posted in the keto group, but wanted to post here as well because this is really where I started my weight loss journey. 6 months ago I found this sub and started reading. I had never really tried to lose weight before (beyond a couple of days before giving up). I saw a lot of people who wanted to lose 10, 25 or 50 lbs but I also saw quite a few people who were as big as me and huge loss goals. I also saw people who had lost hundreds of pounds- and kept it off! It was so fucking motivating. I knew it was time for me to finally take control and get this shit handled. If you're lurking on here and thinking about starting to lose weight- DO IT. That whole "think about where you'll be in six months" thing is corny as all fuck, but it's absolutely true. The time is now. Don't wait until Monday, New Years, your birthday, whatever. If you think you can't do it- I promise you, you can. Find a new way of eating and stick with it. 34/F/ 6' SW: 511 CW: 410.2 GW: 200-ish My next goal is 399 pounds. I will be more excited to hit that goal because I'll be under 400lbs! I know it's just barely, but it seems like such a win. Onwards! KCKO! [link] [comments] |
| I fit into a pair of jeans a two sizes smaller than usual Posted: 14 Mar 2020 12:14 PM PDT Recently I realised my jeans were getting loose, this was annoying because I did not want to go try on new jeans, it makes me extremely anxious to go try on clothes or have anyone know that I am looking at clothes. I worry people look at me holding up large clothes and judge me, I know it's just self projection but that's why I don't want to look for new clothes. However the experience was totally worth it as I didn't drop just one size, I dropped two. Now I know sizes aren't the most accurate, but I know I've definitely lost weight. I feel really good about myself and I feel very happy in my new jeans :) This is a feeling I can recommend for everybody [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2020 05:34 AM PDT So, I've been losing weight rather slowly. Im not doing anything strict. Just not eating as much everyday. Yesterday, I noticed something. I used to constantly wear yoga pants and pull up the band at the top because it made my stomach look flatter. I wore my favorite ones the other day and noticed that the band around the top felt a lot looser that normal. Previously, I hadn't done anything to stretch them out. It made me really happy when I realized I had shrunken my tummy a good amount. It was such a small thing, but it made me realize that what Im doing is working. Such a small thing increased my motivation and boosted my self-confidence. Guys, instead of feeling like you haven't done anything when you cant see the visual impacts of your weight loss, look for the smaller things instead. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2020 08:55 AM PDT Hello all, I use a 5/3/1 self modified workout routine (I squat and bench twice a week) and also do BJJ. I am now 35 with two young daughters and also married! So you can see I dont have much time to get things done lol. Here is my routine Monday: chest with 3 accessory exercises, my max right now is 190lbs. Tuesday: 2 hours of BJJ Wednesday: off Thursday: Deadlift max rep of 200lbs with 3 accessory excercises Friday: OHP max rep of 115lb with 3 accessory excercises Saturday: 2 hours of BJJ Sunday: squats max rep of 200lbs with 3 accessory excercises I typically dont push myself to lift as heavy as I can because I found that when I did this I was getting injured in BJJ. I am learning now that I dont need to lift crazy heavy to get results as long as i focus on form and control. My diet is nothing mind bending, j never counted macros or calories. I just limited my carbs and cut out all sugars as much as possible. My diet is just consisting mostly of meat and veggies My cardio is majority of jujitsu but when I am working out I usually do 10-12 min of HIIT on my treadmill [link] [comments] |
| When you're the only one who gives a damn about getting healthy, tell me how you stayed the course. Posted: 14 Mar 2020 11:35 AM PDT My husband (overweight) doesn't give a crap. He will get on board then within a week encourage a cheat day which turns into weeks of binging. He also drinks everynight and I cave and join him because he asks me to and sulks when I dont. My mom lives with us (65, Diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, overweight) doesn't care either. I said I felt unsupported and my husband just said well your choices are your own. And he's right. I know it is 💯 on me to stick to my weight loss and fitness goals no matter WHAT anyone does but I'm exhausted coming home from work cooking separate meals (I'm trying to stick to keto because it's how I feel best) for them and my children. I feel so pathetic when I cave it and I feel so deprived when they're eating all the crap around me. Or they make food that I can't eat and act offended when I can't eat it. I'm going to meal prep for myself and just cook easy meals for them I guess. It's just so damn hard when you feel like you're the only one who cares. And who has to plan all the meals do the cooking because of that. They'll help.cook sometimes but not healthy food. Please tell me your success stories when surrounded by apathetic people!

| [Tip] for those of you lucky enough to telecommute Posted: 14 Mar 2020 01:39 PM PDT My commute time is generally about 35-40 minutes each way. Due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, I'm now working from home - and sadly the gym isn't open. What to do? Well, I may be working from home, but I can still commute — by bike, rollerblades, run, walk, you name it. Why spend that extra hour a day watching the news, browsing reddit, or waiting in line at Costco to buy toilet paper? Get out there, be socially distant, and get some exercise in the same time you used to sit in your car driving to/from work! (I've managed to get outside and physically active for four days this week, not bad!) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2020 08:15 AM PDT I (20F) started back on January 2nd where I weighed in at 212lbs at 5"8. I was so disappointed in what I had let myself become, especially considering how healthy and active I had been in high school. My new hormonal birth control led to fast 40lbs weight gain in 3 months (seriously, fuck nexplannon) which I had never experienced in my life. It wreaked havoc on my body and I was covered in stretch marks and not fitting into any of my clothes. Dieting and exercising made no difference until I took it out that day on January 2nd. I've been doing 1680cal CICO and a boneless version of intermittent fasting (i don't eat before noon, but get a latte w/ skim to hold me over). Over the past 10 weeks, I have lost 18 lbs which now puts me at 193.6lbs and officially not obese on the BMI scale. I feel more motivated than ever and purchased a new pair of jeans, 2 sizes down! Thank you so much to this community for being so encouraging and giving me advice on how to start and make my weight loss sustainable. 18 down, just 28.6 more to go until my first goal weight :) [link] [comments] |
| Does announcing your intent to lose weight jinx your plan? Posted: 14 Mar 2020 03:48 PM PDT I'm curious about how many people announced the start of their weight loss journey to friends or family? Every other time I tried to lose weight, I had told at least a few people that I was trying to get healthy or lose weight. All those other times, I wasn't successful. To be fair, I don't think telling people was the reason I didn't lose weight. Mostly, it was my mindset and lack of motivation at the time. This time, however, I didn't really tell anyone until I had actually started losing weight and so far I've lost 51lbs since last February. Making permanent lifestyle changes and making sure I'm eating at a caloric deficit by calculating my TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) online has helped me the most, but I think not having that pressure in the beginning did help me out as well. Do you think that announcing your weight loss or fitness goals to friends/family helps you stay on track? If so, at what point do you think it helps? [link] [comments] |
| I forgot that I weighted 90kg (around 198 lb) Posted: 15 Mar 2020 01:37 AM PDT I'm 18, 163cm tall and currently weight 83 kg. In November 2019 I started my weightloss journey at 90kg. A few months have passed and I lost the weight gradually. If I followed a much more strict plan I would have lost a lot more, but I like it this way because it's sustainable. I made some big changes in my diet and activity. I got so used to my new habits and my current weight that I forgot that I ever weighted 90 kg. I legit forgot. I thought that I started my journey at 86 kg and then I saw the start of my journal where it says "90 kg". I would think "I feel so gross, I'm so big" but forget that I was bigger than now and that 7kg isn't so little. Yasterday I had a pretty bad day where I let myself loose and ate a lot of sweets but now when I revisit what I ate, I see that it's still less food than what I would eat a few months before now. It may not feel like you are progressing but you should remember what you started with. [link] [comments] |
| My weight loss progress as expressed by notches in my belt. Posted: 14 Mar 2020 08:45 PM PDT This belt has been with me since I was wearing size 38 in the waist pants. As of now 29's are starting to feel too loose. I've been working at it for a while and I'm currently under 140, when I started I was 220ish. I used Keto as a general guideline for eating and just stopped eating more than was needed otherwise. If I found myself looking in the fridge or pantry because I was bored or something, I'd start repeating "I don't need it, not gonna eat it" until the feeling passed. As a side note, why is there so much sugar in so much stuff? It was difficult to get going and stick with it but it's real easy once you get used to it. There were a lot of attempts before I finally stuck with it because it's so easy to not see results quickly and then think it's impossible to succeed. [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 14 Posted: 14 Mar 2020 05:35 PM PDT Hello losers, Post & run! Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): No weigh in this morning. I maybe should be bummed but my period is about to start so, grain of salt with the scale. Because it's either period weight or I need to reassess my input. Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): Not great today. 7/11 days. 3/2-4 maintenance days. Exercise 5 days a week: Long walk today. 13/14 days. Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing, fancy coffee out no more than 3 times a week 6/13): Me time today. It went weird. Try a new recipe once a week: Peanut butter hummus & a free form chicken noodle soup so far. I'm eyeballing a 15 bean soup recipe as a potential meal prep. 2/4 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Not today. 20/50 pages. Drawing prompt every day: I have some specific ideas, just need to make some time. 5/14 days. Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: TBD today. How are you guys?

| Posted: 14 Mar 2020 07:57 PM PDT (30f) I've been over weight most of my life. I've tried diets many times, but never can seem to stick with them. Today was my weigh-in for my first week on the "counting calories diet". I give myself 1400 calories a day and exercise twice a day....my goal is to at least hit 10,000 steps a day....weighed in this morning....7 lbs in the first week! I'm so proud. I will never go back to my old life.....it's time for the change!!! It can be done!!!! Anyone else out there strictly counting calories to lose weight? Have ya guys found anything that helps specifically? Snacks? Exercise routines? I'm looking for as many ideas as possible to keep things fresh! [link] [comments] |
| I think I finally found a diet that will work for me Posted: 14 Mar 2020 12:31 PM PDT After a year of eating healthier, logging/weighing food and cutting out more and more calories and even fasting one day a week only to remain at a plateau, I took a small break from dieting (translation: ate like a moron for a week, no regrets, did not gain a single ounce). I had a lengthy, helpful discussion about my fat ass with the folks on r/hypothyroidism and decided to try something different.
I've been at it like this for a couple weeks now and it could be a coincidence, but I'm down four pounds already. :) [link] [comments] |

| Ngl overweight (large/xl) and trying to get down to a s/m. 19. F. Posted: 15 Mar 2020 12:48 AM PDT So long term lurker bc im fucking shy and a mess but I do want help so here goesz I'm a 19yr college student and i'm currently around 170lbs. I'm 5"4 and I want to get down to around 125-130lbs. I honestly am shit at working out so im not sure how much itd help. I have managed to lose a bit of weight over summer- was 180-190lbs. I struggle with calories and moderation. Ive tried to do calorie limit but honestly awful at tracking and if I do manage to stay under, I overeat the next day. A lot of my overeating and weight gain is from how i'll depress eat. Often I'll just eat because I dont care abt myself or life or anything but at the same time, I care a lot and I really really want to be slim and small. I've been thinking of something like 2 liquids (shakes/soup/etc) for breakfast/lunch and one solid for dinner? honestly unsure bc I usually only eat one meal a day for the most part. I snack a little bit never pigging out THAT much on snacks. Feels like i'll never get anywhere sometimes. Any advice would help. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Mar 2020 12:21 AM PDT Hello everyone! This is my first post here but I'm a long time lurker (I've been following this reddit for over a year I believe) I am 28 years old, 5'6 tall and weigh around 190 pounds (I don't know the exact weight because I am really avoiding the scale these last few months). I have lost weight three times over the last 10 years but always put it back on. I feel so disappointed in myself and I am really scared to start another weight loss attempt due to my record of past failures. To give you a short summary of what I tried so far(you can skip to the end of the post if not interested): 1st time I lost weight, I was 18 and I did it with a registered dietician. From 160 pounds I ended up at 130ish if I remember correctly. After that my freshman year in college began and being left alone to my own devices I gained it all back plus about 5 pounds more. 2nd time followed 1,5 years later (I was 20) after my dance teachers advised me to lose weight. I started a really strict diet of 1,200 kcal a day for seven months. By the end of it I weighed 125 pounds. I managed to keep the weight of for three years. After I stopped taking dance classes, I went back to my previous eating patterns and I ended up weighing 170 pounds. 3rd time I am 27 years old and I had just started a really strenuous job. I lost about 20 pounds just by walking around and up and down flights of stairs carrying heavy loads for the 8 hours of my shift. I didn't mean to lose weight, it just happened. Of course, after I quit that job, the weight came back with a vengeance. Currently I am at my heaviest ever(190) and I have just started my first ever desk job as a Software Developer. I feel like I am succeeding in life. I have a nice job, a loving SO and a supportive family. It just seems I can't win with weight xD The purpose of this post was to ask how did you get out of your rut. How did you manage to overcome your fear of failure? How did you manage to march on despite the odds? And how did you keep it off? Thank you for reading this huge post and taking the time to answer kind strangers :) tldr I failed at dieting multiple times, I want to lose the weight for good but I am scared to start over and I need advice [link] [comments] |
| Received the best validation yesterday Posted: 14 Mar 2020 07:54 AM PDT So I've been struggling with my weight for my whole adult life. I've spent eight, almost nine years in the military. The only time I've had my weight on track is when I went to extremes to accomplish it. Since I came back from leave in January, I've gotten big into boxing. I've changed my diet, my workout plans, everything. It's shown. I feel better. The scale looks a little better. But I felt like I was plateauing. The numbers weren't moving much. It was irritating. But I never stopped. Yesterday I had a funeral detail to do. It was a far drive so we didn't change until we got there. I put on my uniform for the first time in months and everything was... loose. It felt amazing! I haven't had anything fit so well since I left boot camp [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2020 09:53 PM PDT 30F 4'11 78kg I have legitimate reasons to workout and eat healthier because of my ADHD, PCOS and to improve my overall health (plus losing a little weight would feel nice), but because I know my husband has been wanting me to catch up with him (he used to be obese and is now athletic) and desires women who are thin and fit, I can't get this nagging pressure out of my head no matter how I spin it. It feels toxic and like it robs me of my own desires and goals. It's at the forefront of my mind. It makes me feel more pressured to do it so that he would be happier with me. I guess it doesn't help that I have a history of trying to please/appease him to avoid criticism or conflict. Makes me a bit of an anxious perfectionist. How did you separate your weight loss goals/journey from others expectations and perceptions of you? How can I mentally feel healthy about it and make it about ME and not him or about others? And avoid screwing up my fragile body image? Apologies for any word vomit, I haven't slept all night. [link] [comments] |
| First post - long way to go, but hopeful. Posted: 14 Mar 2020 04:57 PM PDT Hey all. I've been lurking on this page for a while, but I've never spoken up. I was always a tiny, healthy kid... Martial arts and the associated fitness requirements helped a lot. However, after a few injuries, college, and a serious illness or two (not to mention a sedentary job at a wonderful company with a food-centric environment and culture) and I am a 5'3" male who weighs over 200 pounds. I've finally had enough, so I recently joined WW. I recieved my 10 pounds down badge the other day, and I am so happy to have found something manageable for me. So, I guess I'm just appreciative that I've had everyone's posts here to encourage me! Thanks all, and wish me luck! [link] [comments] |
| How to keep your diet up when you are under quarantine Posted: 14 Mar 2020 11:33 AM PDT Hey guys, with the recent events I am bound to stay inside as much as possible. I started my diet plan end of december and made some great progress (down 26 pounds). So any suggestions from you guys? I don't want to lose all the progress I made because I'm indoor for the next weeks. I still have a lot of "unhealthy" food because I didn't want to throw away food just because I change my eating habits but I feel like right now it would be better just to have some carrots sticks lying around instead of all these canned Ravioli. Thanks for any advice! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Mar 2020 09:10 AM PDT Today I changed a bad habit that occurred to me that I often did. When making a salad I like to put a lot of ingredients in them when I make it for just myself: lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, olives, white cheese, tuna, sardines, red onion, virgin olive oil, paprika, and sometimes even more stuff. This ends up being a lot and then I tend to overeat and it will all be gone by eating it the same day, and the day after. This is a huge amount of salad to eat, which I never fully realized. So even though it's a somewhat healthy salad, it is still overeating and definitely was a bad habit of mine. I weighted the salad and it came to a total of 1,7 kg. This time I split it into 4 trays to eat over the next few days and have normal amounts. Similarly I used to sometimes buy a big 1 kg block of supermarket lasagna bolognese and eat it all that same night. This was one of the first things I considered that was excessive when I started losing weight and I did buy the block and cut it in half to eat half of it as dinner, and freeze the other half. But now I don't even do that anymore as I don't consider those supermarket lasagnas to be particularly healthy and I learned how to make better tasting lasagna myself instead. Making a quick and simple one with few ingredients is already much better and very preferable. [link] [comments] |
