| Checking in - 2 years, 215 lbs lost, and a healthy gym habit found Posted: 20 Apr 2020 12:45 PM PDT Hey All, Not sure how I haven't stumbled into this sub - just wanted to check in! 2 years of Keto / IF (OMAD) and a newfound gym habit took me from 36 and 430 lbs, to feeling pretty well at 38 215lbs. Hospital pic is from a spinal issue at my heaviest. Progress side by side - https://imgur.com/a/97aaApj 2017 - https://imgur.com/a/f12AHd0 2020 - https://imgur.com/a/HHpgm1D I ran modified macros, 100f-100p-20c and stuck with one meal a day, not counting fat bombs - found macros on a keto calculator and ran with it, bumping protein after work-outs. Total caloric intake trended between 1400-1800 daily. After 100 lbs, started at the Gym swimming laps at first, just moving. Moved from there to guided weight equipment. Typical day: 45x 230lb ab machine 45x 180lb clamshells 45x 210 lb butterfly / chest 45x 230 lb presses, ending at 310lb 45x 210 lb shoulder lifts 45x 110 lb preacher curls 45x 300 lb downward presses (Can't seem to come up with a name for these) Guided weights daily, no leg day due to nerve injuries prohibiting. Things went wild a few months back, and Fox ended up carrying the story, still up on the Fox page if interested in the background / medical side. Fox Link: https://www.foxnews.com/health/iowa-man-weight-loss-spinal-surgery The plan now at goal is just to keep grinding away - this has gotten trickier with the gyms closed, but have moved to home based work outs with bands and bells - chomping at the bit for the gym to come back!Keep grinding, it's absolutely possible. Feel free to scope the Instagram - have kept the journey pretty well updated - Candoworkout. Edit - thanks for the Gold, stranger! [link] [comments] |
| Accountability before & after (+/-142 Days) Posted: 20 Apr 2020 06:58 AM PDT Before & After pic (NSFW): https://imgur.com/oojI9oI *NEW PIC* Front Back Sides (NSFW): https://imgur.com/9t90zQG 20 April 2020, Day 1 of 140 [20 weeks (+2 bonus days)] 173cm/5'8" 30F SW: 89.3kg (197lbs) GW: 60kg (132lbs) I am absolutely appalled and disgusted with how much I have let my body go since just over 20 weeks ago. It wasn't a noticeable change let me tell you, the weight truly crept on. This is tough to post. I have been terrible with my diet with enormous binges here and there which pretty much kicked on at Christmas break, but recently (due to the current world situation) have been emotionally triggered and more often than not. Recently the lack of exercise/any movement and motivation (yay COVID-19) has been the nail in the coffin. I've been "feeling" my body fat pile up more and more, and I have been trying to ignore it despite my mediocre efforts (not without trying) and just seeing the scale go up and up. 13.7kg gained, I mean that's just crazy. This is a classic "you don't know what you've got till it's gone" and I am kicking myself, wallowing in that fact. I wasn't perfect before - I was on my way in my lengthy weight loss journey of up and downs - but not that far off where I wanted to be. Now I feel it's that much further. I am officially on day 3 binge free and sticking to my diet (since Saturday 18 April), and will work my way up to my exercise and running again. This is day 1 of my determination and my 20 week plan and it brings me back to 142 days square since my last progress pic. It's a sign. This is my resolve. Sounds cheesy, but I'm chasing my dreams. Corona has put everything else on hold, and this is the one thing I can control with my will. Putting it out there in the universe in the hopes it comes back to me. In 140 days and counting. 7 September 2020. Good luck to anyone on a similar journey or struggle. [link] [comments] |
| I cant enjoy my successes without my son. Posted: 20 Apr 2020 04:07 PM PDT Im just having a really hard time keeping motivated today. Today would have been my son's 28th birthday and everyday i live in guilt that he's not with us. 3 years ago, my husband, son and I were all together in our struggle with morbid obesity. We tried so hard to turn course but we were all so far deep in it that it seemed impossible to get out. Unfortunately, for my son, he never was able to reach the goals he had for himself. At just 25 years old, my baby boy passed away from heart disease. When he was carried to the morgue, he was weighed in at 722 pounds. Just having to type that out makes me nauseas. After that, my husband and I had no choice but to turn things around. And, Im happy to report that after 3 years, my husband has lost and had kept off 200 pounds and i have successfully lost and kept off 310. We both are at healthy BMI's, we're active and are living the lives we've always wanted to live but no matter how "good" things are, my beautiful son isnt here and i dont feel like i deserve this new lease on life. Why should i get to enjoy it if my son cant?!?!? I just hate myself everyday for needing my son to die for me to get my health wake up call Im sorry if im sounding hysteric, to be honest, most days are already super hard but today is just one of those days where iv just been in bed crying from sun up till sun down. God i just feel like a terrible human. I dont know what im saying at this point and i doubt anyone can relate to this but if anyone is able to relate to anything im saying, do you have any advice? I just feel so broken.... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 10:46 AM PDT SV/NSV Hey guys! I've been watching this sub and a few similar ones for the past year or so for inspiration in my own weight loss journey. I wanted to share the progress I've made, but through my own perspective - my beloved hobby. (This might be a bit long, so TL;DR, I'm a US Civil War reenactor who decided to make changes for the better, dropped 28 lbs. so far, and I've got progress pics in my uniform down below.) So a couple things about me - I'm a huge history geek. I've been in love with US history, especially the Civil War era, since I was a kid. I studied history in college and I dream of working with the National Park Service at a historic battlefield one day. My love of history got me into reenacting/living history when I was about 13 years old. It's a hobby that's become a major part of my life. I take it pretty seriously and consider it a really great way to help the public connect with the past. I've also met some of my best friends through the hobby. Some reenactors do things at different paces; some are just kinda casual and are a bit more relaxed in the way they camp out, the kind of events they do, and what kind of physical activity they do in the field. My group are what are called campaigners. We keep things pretty strict as far as historical authenticity. We endeavor to camp as real Civil War soldiers camped, ate as they ate, and march as they marched. We do some pretty strenuous stuff. Sometimes to raise money for battlefield preservation funds or simply to understand what Civil War soldiers went through, we will march rather long distances with all of our equipment and arms. In 2012, I was 17 years old and in the best shape of my life at about 230 lbs. I joined about 250 other guys and recreated a historic march of 17 miles (including fording the Potomac River) in about 8 hours. It was one of the toughest things over ever done. I've gotten a lot less healthy since then. When I went to college, I gained A LOT of weight. A lot of it had to do with the all-you-care-to-eat dining commons on campus, and of course drinking and going to parties (which was completely new to me). I still reenacted through college, but I definitely wasn't as high-speed as I used to be. I could still do distance marches, but the heat would get to me so much worse, and I would get tired so much quicker. It finally came to last February. I'd been gaining more weight after a pretty rough breakup. I was going to an event I was really looking forward to. I was getting my gear on and putting on my uniform and found that I could no longer button my favorite coat. If I tried, I looked like a ridiculous stuffed sausage. Fortunately, someone had a spare coat they could lend me for the weekend. But the damage was done. I felt awful. I hated myself and couldn't believe I'd let myself get so out of shape. I kept thinking, "How the hell can I honestly stand in front of the public and say, 'This is what a Union soldier in the Civil War looked like,' when I can't even do simple drill without getting out of breath." I was huffing and puffing on short marches of only a mile or two. My equipment didn't fit right anymore. My doctor said I had high blood pressure. I just hated the way I looked and I felt ashamed. I resolved to make changes. My first step was to join a Facebook group in the reenacting community dedicated to weight loss. It's so, so, so important to have a support group. We would share recipes and exercise regimens with each other, celebrate together when one of us could fit into their favorite uniform parts again, and challenge each other to get better. We would even have a competition where we'd all chip in $20 each, and at the end of a few months, whoever healthily lost the highest percentage of body mass would take half the pot and the other half would be donated to historic battlefield preservation. I started really making moves in May. I weighed myself for the first benchmark - 303 lbs. I started to cut back on alcohol. This was tough for me - my other hobby is sampling craft beer and visiting breweries. So I made compromises with myself. Try to limit drinking during the week to maybe one or two beers max. On the weekend, it's okay to check out a brewery, and it's okay maybe once every couple weeks to have a night drinking with friends - but all things in moderation. I wouldn't really count calories, but I focused more on mental changes. I would try to reduce portions, which I was never good at before. I was always a very fast eater. I started eating meals SLOWLY and watching how much I would eat before my stomach starting sending the message, "Hey man, you're not hungry anymore," and then I'd adjust future portions accordingly. It's really helped. Plus I've been taking care to watch when I'm eating and why. It's true what they say - a lot of times, we eat just because we're bored, and I certainly did! I started drinking A LOT of water. I got a water bottle that was about 32 oz. and I would drink about three of those a day, sometimes more. At times my coworkers would joke about how much I was up going to the bathroom to pee. I'd laugh and reply with one of my favorite phrases, "Hey, hydrate or die-drate!" The biggest step came in committing to exercise. I tried out different cardio workouts recommended by the other guys in my reenacting weight loss group. One was basically cranking up the elevation on the treadmill to about 10 degrees and trying to power walk at a steady 3.4 mph. It felt just like a hard march up a hill at one of our events, and damn, did it get me sweating! Plus it's not so hard of impact on your knees for folks who might have a little joint trouble. From there, I started taking on weight/resistance training. From about December on, I was going to the gym for at least forty-five minutes each day after work, and I was making great progress. Unfortunately COVID-19 has thrown a wrench in that and I'm not making the progress I'd like, but I'm still doing what I can. I was never EVER a runner, but I got a pair of decent running shoes, and I've been using a run-tracking app to watch my progress as I take runs around my neighborhood. I couldn't remember the last time I was able to run a full mile without slowing down to a walk, and I finally started being able to do it over the past month. So here I am. I'm down 28 lbs. - so close to that 30 lb. milestone - and I feel so much better. I tried on my gear again yesterday for the first time since the fall, and everything looks and feels so much better. I wanted to share some progress pics of me in my gear - all suited up to do the hobby I love most. The photo on the left was taken in Oct., 2019 and I was about 295 lbs. at that point. The photo on the right was taken yesterday at 275 lbs. The only things different are the hat and 20 lbs. https://imgur.com/a/ylp2f9h I've still got a long way to go, but I'm so proud of it. I want to eventually get down to 230 - my weight when I marched those 17 miles and crossed a river under a blazing late summer sun all in eight hours. For myself, for my friends, for the love of my hobby, and for my passion to tell the stories of those who came before us, I'll get there. If you've got a hobby you love or a passion you pursue, use that as motivation. Use that as your lens for progress. It's done so much for me. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 09:21 AM PDT F20 5'9" SW: 218 CW: 211 GW: 170 i've finally started losing weight and just wanted to actually TELL SOMEONE!!! i've been losing weight for about 2 months now and lost 7lbs, i know it's not huge change and i still have a looooong way to go but for me it's a massive accomplishment! this is literally the only successful attempt i've ever had at losing weight after struggling with it for the majority of the last decade so i'm pretty proud of myself. from the start i said that i didn't want to tell anyone other than my close family that i was losing weight (because i didn't want to deal with the added judgement) which i've stuck to, but now i feel quite isolated. i'm so pleased with what i've accomplished so far but it's quite difficult to feel happy about these changes when i can't bloody tell anyone :// i've tried having conversations with my mum about it but even though she has the good intentions and is trying to encourage me she always comes off too excited about me losing weight if you know what i mean? ("you're a skinny person stuck in a fat body and you're finally escaping" kinda stuff) and it always makes me feel worse about myself so i've stopped talking to her about it. so here i am, sharing it with you, strangers of the internet! EDIT: wanted to say thank you all for your responses!! you guys are so nice, your kind words have made my day :)) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 04:49 AM PDT It's nice. I've only dropped maybe 5 lbs since starting, but i can already fit into my old work khakis. i only kept them for this reason. so that i can have a solid comparison. and boy did it feel nice to finally be able to button them. but they are still tight on my lower stomach fat. at least my waist seems to be shrinking a bit. I've been at least slightly overweight for most of my life. i didn't really start gaining until moving a few hundred miles away from my hometown when i was roughly 9 years old. Then it got worse when we moved again when i was 15. This was because the more we moved, the less support i had to encourage me to be active and eat right. my mom purposefully was buying unhealthy foods and refused to buy fruits and veggies. She'd make fun of me if i worked out. i basically just don't eat until around supper time. and after eating supper and a small treat, i wait until supper time the next day to eat more. sometimes i have a small eat around lunch time, especially if i need to take pain meds for my back (injured during spinal tap in prep for c section of my second pregnancy). I'm trying to incorporate yoga into my daily routine to hopefully ease the pain and gain back some of the flexibility of my youth. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 11:31 PM PDT I'm 40 today. I've been working on my weight since the end of September, I don't know why, but I just decided I was done being fat. I've had disordered eating all my life. Starving when I was young because I was ashamed of being taller and curvier than other girls, then packing on the pounds after a sexual assault as a teen. The weight protected me, it made me invisible. Then one day I realized that I'd run from my body all my life, and I was done. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. On day one, I struggled to walk one mile, now I jog 3 miles a day. I jump rope, I bike, I roller skate, I do yoga, things I never could have done before. My blood sugar went from prediabetic to normal, blood pressure dropped from 135/90 to 100/60, resting heart rate went from 75 to 45. I feel good about my body for the first time maybe ever. I just want to encourage people- do it. Start today. Take charge of your health. I wish I had started sooner. Don't do it for your partner or your parents or your kids or society. Do it for you. Because you deserve it. [link] [comments] |
| I need help, and I’m really struggling. Posted: 20 Apr 2020 07:12 PM PDT So I am currently at 246, the highest I have ever been in my life. I graduated high school in 2013 at 125..... I gained a lot of weight around 2015-2016 after I got hurt in boot camp. I knocked my kneecaps out of place and gained 100 pounds within the span of a year. This is a current comparison of me in 2013 and now in 2020. I am terrified. My health has declined, my joints hurt so bad that exercising hurts, I've developed kidney and bladder issues, and I am a very high functioning autistic with an awful texture aversion. Eating is difficult due to the texture issues and I also have eosinophilic esophagitis that has caused a lot of allergies (eggs and fish are the worst ones, rice, peanuts, seeds like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds, and onions are sensitivities that i know of right now. With this condition, i develop allergies very rapidly and never know when an allergy will be triggered). My mom just tested positive for type 2 diabetes, she weighs about 15 pounds more than I do, and I don't want to do this anymore. God I'm so tired. I don't have motivation to fix my current situation and I'm really struggling. I feel awful 24/7..... and I really think I'm struggling with binge eating. Working on that with my therapist. If there is anyway to receive some recommendations on how to help with my issues, that would be so appreciated. I am struggling so hard. [link] [comments] |
| 1 year difference and what I've learned Posted: 20 Apr 2020 05:54 PM PDT Imgur link: http://imgur.com/a/cFKJuss One year ago I went back to work after 12 weeks maternity leave and I was so impressed that I was able to fit into pre-pregnancy pants (size 12). That was my entire goal after gaining >50lbs during my pregnancy: to not have to wear maternity clothes back to work. I never stepped onto a scale so I couldn't tell you exactly my what my weight was in the first picture. I was 172lbs when I got pregnant and my pants fit better than so I'm probably close to 180 in this photo. I hit my goal and saw this photo, and every photo of me with my beautiful child where I could SEE how self conscious I was to have my photo taken. So I kept dieting. I had strict rules to help keep me on track and I followed them. I ate pretty much the same thing every day, but I wasn't ever hungry, or tired or lightheaded. I checked in with myself constantly to make sure I was dieting healthily (I had anorexia in high school and was afraid of relapsing). I never stepped on a scale, and if I was hungry I would eat more. To battle binge eating I would floss and brush my teeth immediately after dinner. Finally in September I started running again. Slowly. But I ran 3x a week no matter what. And when I was hungry? I ate, but I ate smart foods. I was down to a size 4 and started weighing myself. I hit my lowest weight in October at 125. I started weight training and everything felt great. I was working out 6 days every week and I felt strong and great. Then January came and I realized my hair was falling, and I wasn't finishing my workouts as strong and sometimes not at all. But I was eating 1500 calories every day (5'3 f and up from 1200)! I wasn't hungry! After some advice on here and r/running I realized that for the first time in my life I didn't have extra energy stored away. That in order to work out I NEEDED to eat more calories, mostly fats and protein. My hair stopped falling out, I'm a powerhouse when I workout and I'm back to reaching new speed/distance goals every week again. Obviously quarantine life is different, but at home workouts still count! So here I am 1 year from my first goal, trying to maintain my weight, fitness and life. 6 months maintaining and 50 years to go! Moral of my story? If you workout, at some point you'll reach a weight where you need to compensate for the energy you're expending. Tldr: lost ~50lbs after hitting pre-pregnancy weight, down to size 4 from a 12 [link] [comments] |
| Regretting not taking the before pictures and just want to share! Posted: 20 Apr 2020 11:34 AM PDT Female-5'1". SW: 157, CW: 130, GW: 110-115. I started my weight loss journey on January 1st. I got engaged in December and we're planning to get married in August (hopefully). My goal was to lose 30 pounds by the time dress alterations came. I have dieted so many times before and I have never been successful. When I started this time, I didn't bother taking before pictures because I knew I would break my diet and revert back to old habits within a couple weeks. Except this time THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN! I kept with, I was dieting in a much healthier way, exercising in a healthier way, and just had an overall better mindset when it came to this journey. I started noticing small differences here and there-clothes fitting better, clothes getting too big, my fiancé and family commenting on my appearance. I decided to try on some summer clothes and realized that the shorts I was wearing last year were completely falling off of me. I decided I was going to treat myself to some new clothes but I was so scared when I ordered them because even though I went off the size chart and personal reviews, I thought there was no way I was going to fit into this size. When the clothes arrived I was so happy! I can now wear a size 6 when last year I was in a size 12/14. My BMI is in the healthy range and I am officially normal weight for my height. I never thought I would get here-ever. Long story short-TAKE THOSE BEFORE PICTURES!! ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| I didn't feel like working out today Posted: 20 Apr 2020 08:30 PM PDT I did not feel like working out today. I was unmotivated. And I was angry. Angry because I am still uncertain about the amazing job I had lined up for summer, angry because the tensions are rising in a household still adapting to isolation (will we ever completely?), angry because watching the news has made everyone anxious about money and that has made tensions rise even more, angry because I still have exams in two weeks even though I am enrolled in Zoom University and nothing feels worth it anymore. Angry because I know my situation is far far from bad so I can only think about those who have it worse. But I said to myself "this you can control." So I chose something shorter, 25 minutes, no equipment, HIIT with no repeats so I can't even get bored. And I kept telling myself "this you can control." And it was my best workout ever! I pushed through the entire time, full effort for the full 25 minutes. At my peak HR for the longest I have ever been. So I guess I wrote this to tell people feel down, distressed, and unmotivated like me: this is one of the few things we can control right now. Thinking about that helped me. [link] [comments] |

| In honor of 4/20, here's some tips to avoid bingeing while high! Posted: 20 Apr 2020 12:15 PM PDT Weed makes food taste good and lowers your inhibitions. This is a devastating combo for people who are prone to binge eating! However, you can still enjoy your food when you're stoned if you plan ahead. Figure out what you want to eat and log it ahead of time. Personally, I know I'll want to have snacks, so I budget my calories for them. I also like to make myself a healthy meal to reheat later. Prepare your food/snacks ahead of time. This is key! Get the portion size you want and put it in some tupperware. I know I can't trust myself to get a reasonable amount of food while I'm stoned, so I do it ahead of time and eliminate the risk. Make yourself a lunch box! I like to put all my snacks in one place. Those little ~150 cal bags of chips are a great thing to include. If you need to keep things in the fridge, try to keep it all in the same area. Basically, it all comes down to preparing things ahead of time. Make it easy for yourself! And if you have any tips of your own, please share them! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 09:55 PM PDT I am around 80-90 lbs overweight, and I have been talking about and thinking about trying to lose weight for years. I gained a ton of weight when I was around 9-11. Only at the beginning of this year did I actually decide to do it. My problem is that always around 10-11 PM I give up on it and eat a shit ton of food, like 700-2000 calories. I have been planning all of my meals, but at the end of the day that always goes straight out the window. And it's not like I can just get rid of all of the garbage foods I eat, because I live with 3 other people. Also, I'm almost always kind of thinking about food/what I'm eating/going to eat. I'm constantly thinking about a million things at once, and I can't really just not think about certain things, so something involving that wouldn't really work for me. And I don't think I would be able to do something like intermittent fasting because I don't really have the self-discipline to just not eat for a certain amount of time. Does anyone have any advice?

| Overweight Teenager Surprises Everyone By Losing 97 Lbs To Fit Into Her Formal Dress Posted: 21 Apr 2020 01:36 AM PDT This is what worked for me. I was around 97 Lbs and a patient of PCOD. Yes, you read that right. I passed class 12 and it was then I wished to see myself transformed. Actually, as easy as it looks…it was one hell of a difficult time of my life. And any kind of transition is extremely difficult. Eating habits- First of all, I quit eating rice and completely eliminated it from my diet. So I switched to eating two Rotis/Chappatis or sometimes even Bajara/Makka roti in lunch and dinner. I Followed Natural Nutrition Diet That Helped Me Lot I used to eat a lot of junk food/fast food. Chips, noodles, samosa, kachori, Pizza, etc completely were cut out from my diet. I only ate homemade food, and to be honest now, I love homemade food. LOVE. Guess I've grown up ( and so did my food choices ). Stopped consuming sugar. No chocolates, no ice-creams. More veggies were included in my diet. For eg- Daal, sprouts, chickpeas, soybean, mixed vegetables. I used to get hunger cravings so I ate papad or moong daal. Consumed green tea after each meal. I used to drink lukewarm lemon water in the morning, empty stomach. ● Workout regime- I started with brisk walking, every day in the morning. Commuted by cycle to places nearby or just go for walks. Don't sit at someplace for too long, keep moving or just stand. So after I started jogging and cycling, I began to develop stamina yet I didn't feel strong. So I started doing Yogasanas and Surya namaskars. It was one of the difficult tasks I ever did. Apart from that, basic squats and push-ups. So after that, I switched on to YouTube videos and learned basic push-ups and squats and later included many variations to it. I also indulged myself in various physical activities like Dancing, playing badminton, etc. ● Lifestyle changes- Started waking up at 6 am and going to bed at 10 pm. Try intermittent fasting. I created a schedule for the day and followed it. Having My Nutrition Diet Everyday Sticking to the Routine is the key. Consistency and the will to never give will help you out a lot. My Weight Loss Experience; Balance Both Workout And Diet Equally. Life is unexpected and hope is a funny thing. Never give up on dreams and wishes, you may never know when the universe grants your wishes and make them come true. Thank you for Reading.

| It’s finally happening. I’m finally losing weight! Posted: 20 Apr 2020 07:23 PM PDT I have been stuck at the same weight for what seems like years. I'm 6'4" and I've been 287lbs for years. Seems like no matter what I did I could not get under it. Well I got dumped a month ago and had trouble eating. I noticed the scale moved when I barely ate anything. So I put two and two together. However in the past, I used to panic when I got hungry. I would eat and overeat because I'd be nervous about getting hungry again. Well this time of said I was going to embrace being hungry. Stop eating at 6pm. If I get hungry, I get hungry. It will pass and it did. I've cut out all soda and diet soda and I'm eating around 1,500 calories a day, walking for an hour, and doing the stationary bike for 30 mins. In 4 weeks I've gone from 287 to 263. I can't believe it. I'm so happy. I'm going to try and eat closer to 2,000 calories but 1,500 seems to be working. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 07:56 AM PDT 6th Day of using Noom, Counting Calories, and weighing in EVERY day. Wow!!! I posted here that first day and got food (edit: typo, that was supposed to be GOOD, not food)advice. That paired with Noom have helped. 2.6 lbs lost so far. Before, I would have been discouraged by the daily ups and downs. Now I am informed that fluctuations are normal, and gaining .6 lbs between days isn't the reason to throw in the towel. That tiny amount of weight means I can button my work pants that were too tight. And counting calories means that, if I feel hungry and eat a little over my goal at the end of the night, I only go a bit over because I'm aware. Before, it might have meant a whole sleeve of crackers or a tons of pita chips and hummus and a several hundred extra calories. Learning so much and really encouraged! Off to drink a lot of water and go for a morning walk. :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 10:27 AM PDT Hey people I have been gaining weight lately, due to the quarantine. I have been eating like crazy for the past month and I have gained a lot of weight. I am f/20 5'6 and weighed about 135 pounds a month ago. Now I am almost 156 pounds! At first I didn't bother much. My belly was starting to get squishy and my butt was getting fatter but I didn't think it was bad, because I never left the house. But unfortunately yesterday I ran out of groceries and needed to go out... And uhh... That's when I realized how much weight I put on. No clothes fit me anymore! I tried ALL of my jeans and none of them fit! Most couldn't go past my butt. I even ripped 1 of them! It wasn't better with the tops. All of them were highlighting my big belly and I had a big muffin top! Even my bras felt tighter! I have been trying to lose weight with YouTube training videos and doing cardio, but no progress is made. Please tell me what to do! [link] [comments] |
| For the first time in my life I've lost a significant amount of weight! Posted: 20 Apr 2020 11:25 AM PDT (F20, 5'5", SW 281, CW 270.6) I have never been able to lose more than five pounds at a time; I have always gained it back and then some in most cases. Over the past two months through CICO and moderate exercise I've lost ten pounds as of today! I was expecting to gain a lot of weight during lock-in but I've actually managed to keep losing. I'm very excited because this has been enough weigh loss for me to actually notice changes in my body (i.e. better posture, shirts feel looser, one less back roll lol). I don't notice any changes when I lose and gain the same five pounds over and over. I'm also proud that I didn't stop at the five pounds like I usually do and kept moving forward, and I hope that I can manage to keep losing and not fall back into old habits. If you have any tips on how you stay focused and disciplined I would appreciate it! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 05:37 PM PDT Pretty happy with the results so far. Currently at 170.9 (77.5kg). Definitely would have been smaller but I fell off the band wagon over the past couple of days. Being home with the kids 24/7 is playing with my mental health. Hubby locks himself away all day (essential worker from home). I've been given extended leave without pay which means I'm now a sahm full time. Serious shout of to those sahms! You guys are amazing!! Just have to make it through one step at a time. About to head to the park for my daily exercise so hopefully I'll get some endorphins happening and have a better update for you all next week. Xx [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 11:20 AM PDT This is gonna be a bit of a rant, sorry lol. I've (23F, CW:133) been maintaining 128 for about a year, and I knew the multiple bowls of Reese's puffs, eating entire boxes of Mac and cheese, and all the Oreos and pop tarts would catch up to me over these weeks of quarantine. I've been very sedentary other than chores around the house. I was pretty happy at 128 but I think I want to try and get down to 120. My maintenance calories are 1600, and my lose it calories are 1200, but I've been eating around 2,000 or more each day for these past few weeks. I've been seeing it in the mirror but just legitimately weighed myself for the first time in a while this morning. 133 lbs! I'm a little bummed cause I lost that weight over a year ago and have managed to keep it off. Over the past two years I've been able to lose 10 lbs during each February-April time (never any other time for some reason), but this year I didn't have the time or motivation, or really felt the need, to try and lose more. But I miss that feeling of accomplishment and knowing I've been eating healthier, and seeing the numbers go down and feeling great in and out of my clothes. I've been half-heartedly counting calories for the past month or so, and I've not been trying at all to eat less. I've only been telling myself I need to eat less. Time to start actually doing it! It's going to make me so much happier and healthy to watch what I eat, so there's no point in not doing! Also, I'm terrified of gaining back the 30 lbs I've lost over the past few years. Time to start taking care of myself again, pandemic be damned! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2020 02:59 PM PDT Hi there. Im a 25 year old male who has never posted on here before. As many can relate, I have struggled with my weight for years but have never taken the steps to either work the calories I consume off consistently, or I would just eat blindly. I grew up loving all kinds of healthy food and was always calorie conscious but my problem has been that I would go for that 3rd or 4th serving of soup or eat a whole container of hummus in 2-3 sittings. Well today, I decided to weigh myself and I found that I was sub 220 lbs for the first time in years. This was a complete shock to me as in quarantine, I have been less active than normal. Before quarantine I weighed 236 pounds which was upsetting as last summer I got as low as 222 pounds. I don't want my weight to be a pendulum so I'm trying to encourage myself to improve my positive habits and build on them. I would like to be sub 210 by the summer but my ultimate goal is to be 175-180 pounds. Anyways, Thanks [link] [comments] |
