| [M/24/5'8"] Showing myself grace is important Posted: 01 Mar 2020 10:01 AM PST Progress pictures [one, two], SW: 255 lbs, CW: 170 lbs, 8 months Posting something just for internet points was something that usually doesn't make sense for me (I don't have any social media except reddit), but I'd really like some right now for encouragement! I'm in the DC area, and the dating/hookup scene is so intimidating since gay guys here look like straight up models with chiseled bodies. It's hard to be nice to myself sometimes when I look at my loose skin and still-present lower stomach. The "after" picture is also me when I'm looking/feeling bloated from eating a takeout burrito and a quesadilla on top of a full day's worth of meals already. I hated myself immediately right after eating this food. But rather than take a picture in the morning right after a workout, I wanted to take a picture when I wasn't feeling good about myself as a first step to showing myself grace. I should be better to myself. I completely eliminated symptoms of my health problems from obesity (high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint pains, lethargy, etcetcetcetc), and I should celebrate that. One day of indulgent eating does not negate 8 months of hard work and tears I put into it (and will continue to put into this). I learned fitness, weight loss, and nutrition and completely changed my lifestyle. I've worked on my binge eating disorder and that shit isn't easy. One day, a guy will see my worth, but I shouldn't need a guy to feel good about my body. But! For today, I think I need internet points as a sign of support from you all because it's really hard to be nice to myself right now. [link] [comments] |
| [M36] 6'0" 475 lbs to 426 lbs ( -49 lbs) 1 month Jan 24 - Feb 24 Posted: 01 Mar 2020 11:22 PM PST Disgusted with person in the mirror. Sugar and most fats completely removed from diet. Fitness Pal food logging and a food scale for food portion measurements. Smaller portions, green veggies, and fruits (that end in berry with exception of the occasional banana). Water mainly and 8 oz of unsweet almond milk with fruit and kale/baby spinach smoothies for lunch. DIY home projects for exercise. Tore down and rebuilt a shed. Inside shed added a mini exercise area with weight bench. Rebuilt fence line and cut down trees. Was very tired at first and had to go slow, building up more each day. Sore for the first week but felt much better the following three. Took a while to get thoughts in order for post. I do not see a difference myself, but have been told i look much better by others. I have lost 2 to 3 inches on chest, waist, and hips. My tight pants and shirts are now very loose and belt needs new holes cut into it so i can tighten it more. Here is a side progression shot where I feel I can actually see it. I still have a long way to go to reach my goal of 200 or even less, but I hope I can stick with it. I am a product of failed attempts all my life. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 05:33 PM PST Tomorrow is day 1. I plan to go to the gym. Do 30 minutes cardio, 25 minutes weights. 10,000 steps...no matter how cold it is outside. I will have strawberries and yogurt for breakfast. I will go to the fruit buffet for lunch. For dinner, I will have chicken with spinach and broccoli. Dessert yasso fudge bar. If I need to snack, I have grapes and celery. I will log into mfp and try to stay under 1200 kcal. Starting weight: 223 lbs (101kg, 15.9 stone), 5'8 (172.72 cm) I need to lose weight for me. I need to lose weight for my amazing partner. I need to be healthier. No more excuses. Any thoughts on anything is welcomed and I thank you all in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Theoretical vs. Actual Weight Loss Posted: 01 Mar 2020 02:23 PM PST Hello guys, with February coming to an end, I wanted to share something that struck my eye. So I'm a huge fan of data. Tracking steps, calories and exercise. Weighing myself every day and keeping an eye on the trend. But there's something I noticed when I looked back on the calories I consumed every day in the last month. In this calender you can see the calories I've consumed and when I did some exercise (mainly playing soccer because boi, do I love playing soccer). Every day gets a sticker: Green means less than 1500 calories consumed (= larger deficit) Blue means between 1501 and 1800 calories consumed (= smaller deficit to maintenance) Red means above 1800 calories (= above maintenance calories) After doing some math for fun, and knowing my TDEE is about 1800 calories, I came up with the following numbers: Theoretical weight change in February: +0,389 kg or +0,850 lbs Actual weight change in February: -1,4 kg or -3 lbs So what I'm trying to say with this post is: Do not be discouraged by a few days or a bad week of overeating. Keep trying because you haven't undone the progress you've made. Keeping yourself accountable and trying to find a sustainable and healthy way of eating and creating a caloric deficit are the most important factors in weight loss. Just keep going. You'll get there. And I will also continue on my journey. :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 06:49 PM PST I'm a 21 year old with a complex history of weight problems and mental illness. In 2017 i was once overweight, than i lost 77 pounds (yay go me) just by walking daily for 35 minutes and also eating much less. Shortly after this i experienced what no should ever experience - a Depressive episode and anxiety episode. It was so bad i was about to kill myself, shortly after i was diagnosed with a mental illness. I started taking medication and got my life back, Few of those medications included Antipsychotics, i was never prepared for the horror that would ensue. after just 5 months of use i regained 77 POUNDS!! (35Killogram), meaning i was back to just being overweight, not a huge problem. AFTER 1.6 Years of use i gained another 66 pounds. Meaning the total weight gained from these meds was 143 Pounds. One medication was reduced and thrown off, the other i still need. Right now i am an obese blob with no energy to do anything, my Borderline personality Disorder is making my problem much worse because of self pity and masochistic misery, i have strict routines and need to eat before bed, and when i wake up, all i eat is junk, and i am just watching my weight go up and up. My BMI is around the 40-45 zone, (i have photos of me i posted on my profile a few days ago). I feel so trapped and powerless, it is clear i can't do this alone and need severe help. Who will help me? what will give me a boost? can doctors help me, give me stimulants amphetamines, whatever? action must be taken now. I can't even fit most of my clothes without my stomach hanging, it feels so uncomfortable, it is also making my face look ugly because of the excess fat. I'm waiting to see a Psychologist but that won't change anything, that won't fix my energy issues, i always feel tired and don't wanna do anything anymore. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 05:17 PM PST Disclaimer: I have not, nor do I plan to run a marathon in the near future (although I did walk one in the distant past). I've tried running once or twice in the past, but it's never really stuck before - I'm not really your typical runners build. But in January 2019 decided to give it another go, and for some reason, this time, the go just keeps going. Since last January I have covered more than 700km, and spent almost 100 hours running. 100 hours is a lot of time to think about things, and I've spent a lot of that time thinking about the parallels between running and weight loss. Rather than put everything into one looooong post, I'm going to break things up into shorter posts. But today I'm going to start with talking about the work. We often talk about how weight loss is a marathon not a sprint. A marathon is 26.2 miles long. But you have to run a lot more miles than that, if you want to cross the finish line. Marathon training often involves 30-60 miles of running per week for the 6-12 weeks before the race. That's a lot of mileage. In a more specific example, I've got my first half marathon coming up in 2 weeks. Since I started training in late November I have run more than 300km. Ideally I would have been closer to 350, but back to back weekend storms here meant I couldn't safely get out to do the mileage I wanted. If I'd been able to stick to my schedule, by the time I crossed the finish line, in order to run 21km, I would have run more than 400km. That's the work. And the only person who could do that work was me. In many ways the purpose of running a marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K etc is not to complete the race. It's nice to get that medal and T-shirt, but most people don't run races just for the swag. The purpose of running a marathon (or any race) is to demonstrate to yourself, or to the world, that you are someone who is capable of running a marathon. The medal is as much a recognition of the work you did to get to the start line, as the distance from A to B on the day. So what has this got to do with weight loss? It's all about the work. If you want to run a marathon, you have to put in the miles. No-one can do your training runs for you. No-one can get up for an early run before work for you. No-one can head out into the miserable rain for you. Ultimately, you have to take responsibility for your own training. Just as the only person who can lose the weight you are carrying is you. And you have to work at it, to make changes in your life, to be willing to make sacrifices, and to be willing to let yourself be uncomfortable. Because the purpose of weight loss is not to cross the goal weight finish line and collect a medal. It is to be someone who can sustain their goal weight in the long term. We lose weight one pound at a time, and then we maintain one day at a time. Because no matter how much we might wish it, no-one else can do it for us. Next time: Data, truth, and the Norway problem.

| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 11:02 AM PST It was a really nice surprise when I looked in the mirror and didnt recognize myself fully. I am wearing the same shirt as over a year ago and it's a lot looser on the arms and belly, before it use to roll up at the waist. I am quite guilty of spending an absorbent amount of time looking in the mirror today 😅 it's taking my brain a while to catch up and there are a lot of days where I dont see any progress at all. Iv been steadily loosing since last year and I recently started at the gym! I cant wait to see where 2020 brings me in my journey. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 07:16 PM PST Hey everybody, Just wanted to introduce myself and let everybody know where I'm at health wise. I am a 22 year old male who recently graduated college. I started off at 235lbs my freshman year. I had a little belly with some muscle as I used to train with an IFBB pro in my latter years of high school. Well as any college student, I gained a lot of weight and stopped going to the gym. I finished at 285lbs but at my worst was close to 300lbs. Tomorrow morning starts my journey back to fitness levels. My goal is to be down to 265lbs by March 30th to start off. I know I can do it but I need accountability. I hope to post here everyday and hopefully gain some support on this journey. Wish me luck! Thanks everybody [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 03:38 PM PST Hey, I understand the situation you're in. You want nothing more than to lose the weight, have that slim body you've always wanted & feel comfortable in your own skin. But it seems that no matter how hard you try, what you want is out of reach. You'll go on a diet, workout really hard & even lose weight. Hell, some of you will lose a lot of weight. No matter how much weight you lose though, it always seems to come back again. Like a really f*cking annoying boomerang or a crazy ex that shows up outside your house at 2am. For some of you it comes back slow & it's only after a couple of months or a year that you really notice. For others, you gain the weight back almost as quickly as you lost it. This cycle repeats itself over & over & over again. Each time you notice the number on the scale seems to get bigger not smaller. Each time you try to lose it gets harder, not easier. This is the vicious trap of yo-yo dieting that so many people get sucked into. If you can relate in any way whatsoever to what I've said, I have some good news & I have some bad news. The Bad News "If you keep doing what you've always done, you're going to get what you've always gotten." - Tony Robbins Everytime most people decide they want to lose weight (again), they will:
Listen, diets like Low Carb or Keto or whatever the diet of the week can get you great results. But the problem with these "fad diets" is that they're fads. Most people can't stick to them over the long-term. Hence where the problem arises. You won't achieve permanent weight loss by following a fad diet for a couple of weeks / months. It's almost impossible. Why? All of this is before we even consider the effects of metabolic adaptation in response to weight loss which slows down metabolism & increases hunger signals, making it more difficult to lose weight & easier to gain it back - that's a kettle of fish I'll leave for another post. The Good News Yes, there is good news. I'm not just fear-mongering or using some cheap shock tactics. I want to give you a practitioner's perspective & what I see all the time with clients. Ok, so where's that good news? It is possible to lose weight & keep it off. It's possible to finally have the body you've always wanted. It's possible to live a healthy, happy & fulfilling lifestyle. I know this because I've seen it happen first hand & I know exactly what it takes to get there. Unfortunately, there is no life-changing wisdom I can distill into a few "quick tips". We take our clients through 16+ hours worth of educational content to teach them this stuff. But I'll do my best... Top 5 Tips to Overcome Yo-Yo Dieting & Lose Weight Permanently 1. Permanent Weight Loss Through Permanent Changes to your Diet & Lifestyle. You should not just be "losing weight". You should be making small, positive changes every day to your diet & lifestyle that will stick with you FOREVER. This means learning healthy eating habits, practicing regular exercise, managing stress & emotions, etc. You should be doing this, not just because you want to lose weight - but because you enjoy living an overall healthy lifestyle. 2. Change Your Mindset to Change Your Behaviour to Change Your Life. Most weight loss diets & advice out there focus on the short-term behaviour change needed to lose weight i.e eat less, move more. This is great but it fails to address the underlying root or foundation of all behaviour, that's your mindset/psychology. This is arguably the most important aspect of weight loss. Adopting a mindset that supports your goals, instead of one that self-sabotages you. 3. Controlling Your Caloric Intake. This is pretty much common sense but for some reason so many people miss this completely. Weight loss is as simple as calories in vs calories out (I said simple, not easy). If you are able to control your caloric intake, you are able to control your weight loss (or weight gain). The science suggests that those individuals who monitor their food intake in some way are most successful long-term with weight loss. It makes sense why. 4. Maintain Regular Exercise. We already mentioned this in point 1 but it's worth mentioning again. One of the biggest predictors of long-term weight loss success if regular exercise. This isn't just my opinion, this is what the research says. There are too many reasons why exercise is so amazing to even mention. It also goes far beyond just weight loss - exercise has literally a bajillion (yes that's a real number) health benefits. Just find exercise you actually like doing, there is something for everyone. 5. PATIENCE GOD DAMN IT. Rome wasn't built in a day (but it burned in one). Real positive change at the physical, psychological & neurochemical level takes time. You have to be able to delay gratification & "keep your eyes on the prize" for long enough to let the change happen. Remember, waves at the beach don't carve out the rock because of their force but because of their persistence *cough* CONSISTENCY. Hope this helped someone! [link] [comments] |
| Hey, Let's Learn about Set Points and Why they Do and Do Not Matter to Us! Posted: 01 Mar 2020 06:29 AM PST Ask 100 people and you'll get 100 opinions about Set Points. In /r/loseit, I predict that most of us will quickly discard the Set Point but I'd also predict that the reasons why would be varied and, sometimes, inflammatory. Set Point theory suggests that our body weight is regulated to a preferred range. This is the part where people's hair starts to stand on end, because taken to it's logical conclusion, it means that we do not have rational and intentional control of our weight -- Set Point theory suggests that our body controls it, not our will. Please PRESS PAUSE on your fear for a moment and I promise you that it'll pay off. Stephen C. Woods is an obesity research leader and a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience, explains that the evidence of this isn't what happens when we're dieting, but what happens when we stop, "attention to maintaining the lost weight decreases, body weight creeps back up, generally to about the same level as occurred before the dieting began." He also explains that it works both ways. "When weight-stable individuals are paid to eat more food and gain weight, they are able to do it; but throughout time, the process becomes harder and harder and they typically fail at some point and fall back to the lower weight they were carrying before the period of overeating occurred, and they accomplish this by eating less food than normal." Now before you take your finger off that PAUSE button, let's also explain that we know a lot about why this works this way. How does the body and the mind and our behavior work together to return us to this preferred weight zone? The answer is very important to us here in /r/loseit and holds the key to our success -- because it's not about the intensity to eat more or less to get us back to that zone, it's about its persistence. We know about Calories In, Calories Out (CICO) and Set Point theory does not break CICO. Set Point theory affects our behavior and whatever our behaviors become are the inputs to CICO and the output of CICO is what we can confidently expect in the management of our weight. (By CICO, I do not mean nor exclude counting calories -- however it is you reach your caloric deficit/surplus works the same -- some count them, some use other means.) If we didn't know about CICO, and were not doing anything about it, then our behaviors would be more about our normal routines and our random urges and whims. Our food and activity (or inactivity) choices would be governed by habits, schedules, comfort, friends, advertising, hunger, traditions, expectations, tiredness, rewards, group behaviors, and so on. Habits and schedules and traditions are strong cues, we tend to eat to those whether feeling the urge or not. But many of those eating prompts are subtle urges and they may be so subtle as to escape our conscience notice. What's inside of us that is assisting these prompts and resulting in our opting to eat?
The first one involves the signalling between the body and the mind. Hormones also signal between body systems (not involving the mind) but we'll skip that because it doesn't matter to this topic. Hormones involved here are leptin, cortisol, ghrelin, and testosterone. They work together with our brains to quietly suggest eating sooner or later, more or less, making us more or less susceptible to eating cues. Get ready to UNPAUSE. Those of us working on losing, maintaining, or even gaining some weight aren't listening to those quiet suggestions. We aren't very susceptible to all of the unconscious eating cues because we're operating under our own rules to manage our weight. We also get to benefit from the fact that the Set Point theory's signals are subtle and our responses to them are conscienceless. We are practicing eating right amounts of food for right reasons according to our reasonable and calculated programs, aiming to set better habits and expectations by doing so. The signals generated by these Set Points are quiet and our eating and behavior is more intentionally-driven. But Set Point theory does give us cause to expect to always be paying attention to our effort. When we reach goal weight and have switched to maintaining our weight, we will still need to pay overt attention to how much and how often we eat, and how our weight and fitness is holding up. This is not at all as intense as losing weight, but it is not as carefree as life was when we were ignorant of our weight and health. It's not just doable, it's -- let me make up a phrase here -- actively comfortable. Remember that the power of the habit is that it is mindless and effortless, so making good habits with lots of repetitions and gratification for them will help in keeping them going. The Set Point theory is real, and explains a lot of what we see around us, but it is passive and subtle. As long as we keep paying active attention and that attention converts to intentional actions, then we do not have to concern ourselves too much with Set Point theory.

| Posted: 01 Mar 2020 10:08 PM PST So real quick stats, M 28 5'9" SW-200 CW-171 GW-162 I've made steady progress this whole time long as I've kept to the diet. Sometimes i cheat and it slows down etc. regardless though i could always see a steady trend. I've been between 170-173 for about 3 weeks seemingly unable to break below the 170 mark. Still maintaining a 1500 calorie diet usually closer to 1200. With the occasional cheat day that i might have 2,000. I also do cardio everyday and have been this whole time, it's not a new addition. Usually running 5k a day maybe 15k bike ride as well. I have added protein shakes to try and help retain muscle mass while on such low calorie diet. I've wondered if protein shakes are causing an issue? This last week was my first time having one everyday. I account for the calories in my day so it's not changing my calorie intake. Any help or suggestions on how to overcome this? Last week i cheated a ton for two days in hopes the calorie influx might sort of bring my body out of this hump that seems to be keeping me from reaching my goal. [link] [comments] |
| Non-food stress relief that doesn't take up too much time? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 04:10 PM PST I have a busy (but physically sedentary) job that causes me a lot of stress, and I'm realizing that the reason why I was obese the entire time I had this career was at least partially because I turned to food and alcohol as quick relief/reward. I've been successful in my weight loss this year by making it a priority (lost 23lbs in 2 months!) but as work ramps up, I am finding it difficult to manage the stress. Food and alcohol was easy- quick to get, instant endorphins. I don't find massages that enjoyable, it's a whole thing to book it and go, etc. I'm working out when I can, but has anyone found any other good alternative mood boosters/stress relief? I don't want to turn to food and alcohol. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |

| [M29] 6'0" - 352 lbs. Few questions on weight loss. Posted: 01 Mar 2020 09:20 PM PST Hey everybody, Bit of backstory, I'm a 29 y/o dude weighing 352 lbs. Back in 2018, I weighed roughly the same as I do now and managed to 110 lbs over the course of 6-7 months. Unfortunately, I went through a stretch of depression and gained everything back since then. Losing weight was hard work but I didn't have any trouble pushing myself to work out or give up unhealthy food and I don't think this will be a problem for me as I start to work on myself again. However, I do have some questions.
My plan is to cut out any unhealthy food and drop all liquid calories and only drinking water and green tea and reducing portions on meals. On top of that, I'm looking to exercise every day, mainly going for a walk or treadmill and bodyweight exercises. If you have any other advice that doesn't relate to my questions, feel free to share it anyway. Happy to take any advice, especially if they have helped you achieve your goals. Thanks!

| 0 lbs lost in the last 6 weeks but I’m happy Posted: 01 Mar 2020 12:46 PM PST Weird title, I know. I've tried to lose weight several times in the past, but have never made it more than 12 lbs down (my goal is to lose 50). Since mid-January though, I started a new habit: tracking both my caloric intake (using MFP) and caloric output (using my smart watch, which I know isn't perfect). I put all of this info into a spreadsheet, along with my weight. While I was "trying" to CICO, I was really only in a caloric deficit for ~50% of the days, and the other 50% unfortunately almost perfectly offset the deficit days. Some stats from the past 6 weeks: Average daily caloric intake: 2563 | Average daily caloric deficit: -97 (which I'd say is in the margin of error here, so let's say it was ~0) | Pounds lost: 0. Seeing the analytics is sobering. My goal of eating 1500 calories was almost never met and now seems ridiculously optimistic, since I was eating 1000+ calories more than that, on average, daily. It makes a lot more sense for me to try 2000 first and go from there. Lesson for all: track consistently, and analyze the data periodically! [link] [comments] |
| need tips on meal planning / in general LOL TT Posted: 01 Mar 2020 08:11 PM PST hi! I'm an 17 y/o senior in high school with very unhealthy eating habits. I wanted to change my lifestyle not for the sole emphasis of losing weight (even though that is a very large factor), but in order to learn how to take care of body properly and build good habits. I was wondering if anyone here knows any good tips with meal planning and work out routines? my CW: is around 154 lbs (69.85 kg) and it fluctuates because of how imbalanced my meals are. please help!! ( I'm also starting to go to the gym, and i'm going on this journey with a close friend ! Hopefully I can show you guys results in the upcoming months ) thank you in advance for helping !! edit: (thank you u/redditfanforlife) • going to community college next year (still in high school but regardless, i'm at home with my mom) which means fully functioning kitchen ! • cooking skills = moderate/intermediate. If there's a will, there's a way (instructions/recipes would be helpful too ;-;) • i work friday-monday (on weekdays i work after school usually closing shift 4-11, I get home around 11:30, and i work morning/mid shifts weekends usually 11:00-7:00) • time to cook - after school (mid week and before work on weekends) • Price range starting out is ~200$/ week (since i'm new and starting to get into it. hopefully i can find a nice balance ) • I'm shooting for a keto-type diet (overall lowering the amount of carbs i eat) no food related allergies and I can eat anything ! thank you (: [link] [comments] |
| Why am I gaining so much weight? Posted: 01 Mar 2020 10:11 PM PST I am 15 years old around 145-150lbs and 5'4". I have done competitive sailing for 5 years but recently started rowing about 2 weeks ago. Before rowing I had wanted to be healthier not just loose weight but just take extra better care of my body. I downloaded my fitness pal to help keep track of my calorie fat and sugar intake. Once I started using the app I found it that you could also find the amount of calories you need to eat to loose weight. I ended up eating around 1200 calories a day for about 3 weeks. I was constantly tired so I went back to my original goal just to be healthier and not worry about the scale. For the past 3 weeks I have completely changed my diet I am still keeping track of my calories and sugars etc. And I do rowing 6 days a week 3 hours a day. I thought that I would have at least lost maybe .5 or 1lb but I looked at the scale and I had gained about 5 or 6lbs? I am eating about 2000 calories a day right now and I have incorporated wayy more protein and cut back or carbs and fat. I feel way healthier and plan to keep this up for longer but why am I gaining weight? I think I am getting healthier but the scale does not match does anyone have advice? [link] [comments] |
