| I hit my goal with MAJOR help from all of you! Thank you, Loseit!! F 36 SW: 250 GW: 140 CW: 170 Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:10 PM PDT Long time lurker, first time poster so be gentle please. Like many of you, I've struggled with my weight and depression since childhood. I yo-yo'd up and down my whole life until early menopause (at 27) triggered the worst depression of my life in 2013. The medicine I was taking affected my blood sugar and I gained 70 lbs in a matter of months, taking me from 180 to 240. I wallowed in sadness at losing my fertility by eating any and everything in sight, bingeing TV shows, and hiding away from the world. In 2016, I had a hysterectomy after my sister was diagnosed with stage 3 Breast and Ovarian cancer and we discovered that we shared a cancer-causing mutation on our BRCA 1 gene. I set a resolution for New Year's 2017 to lose the weight since my hormones and mental health were finally stable and joined this sub for tips. I started tracking my calories and paid for a personal trainer for 6 months but I was bored out of my mind, so I began playing roller derby after a 5 yr hiatus. I fell in love with it again and dove in harder after seeing a difference in my clothes and mental state, so I got more serious about my food and exercise. I did a ton of tiny things, like taking the stairs, drinking water before meals, subbing baby carrots for chips, etc., but the biggest thing was making half of EVERY meal vegetables. Yes, even breakfast! The weight started falling off my body and I discovered the happy, energetic, curious woman hiding beneath all those pounds and sadness. I hit my goal weight in Feb 2018 and maintained until Sept 2018 when my sister's cancer returned as terminal. I put my routines and self-care on the back burner to care for her, and since she passed in March '19 I've struggled to stick to my routine. The pandemic sent me into another tailspin, but the hope, positivity, and support I've seen in here has inspired me to get back on track. Thank you all for your bravery in sharing your experiences - they affect far more people than you may realize!!! Stay safe, everyone!! Link to before and after pics: link [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Apr 2020 09:25 AM PDT Back in December we decided to change our lifestyle. We both found success and felt great. He started struggling and is now gaining weight. I've left him to his own way of things because he gets upset about it. He has recently started having these huge cheat meals and they're daily! He's eating over 6 servings in a sitting and just consuming way more than he needs. He'll eat to the point of intense pain then go get a snack (usually 3 grapefruits!) how can I help him? I'm seriously worried he's going to hurt himself. He does not take his high blood pressure seriously and if I say anything he gets really upset. Can anyone offer any advice on this. I just want him to be healthy. He's very sedentary and is definitely eating over 2k calories. Edit: I would never call him fat or be degrading towards him. I'm simply concerned for his health because shockingly I don't want to watch him die. I typically do the shopping but he asked to and I understood that he probably needed to go for a drive. Thank you to those who have offered sincere advice and support. I do understand it's stressful for him and I'm working hard to make things easier and simply be on his team through this.

| Posted: 06 Apr 2020 03:11 PM PDT i remember a girl i knew in high school finding half a chocolate bar in her backpack and saying 'i totally forgot this was in here!' i couldn't believe anyone could a) not eat a chocolate bar in one sitting and b) forget they had chocolate. don't know about you, but i tend to obsess over food and would be thinking of that candy all day long. maybe half an hour ago my mom brought me an ice cream sandwich from dairy queen. i'm limiting that sort of food but it was under 200 cal and just not a big deal. i took it up to my bedroom to eat while on the computer. half an hour later, i look over and realize i got distracted and completely forgot it was there. it was all runny but still just barely edible. that's kind of a big thing for me.

| I managed to stick with my diet for 4 weeks, the longest in 10 years! Posted: 06 Apr 2020 12:13 PM PDT Im 29F and during the past 4 weeks Ive managed to lose 6 kgs and went from 121 kg to 115kg! For Americans out there, I went from 266lb to 253lb. I havent been on a scale for a few years (didnt have a functioning scale and was too afraid to check my weight). It all changed when my doctor told me Im morbidly obese and have high triglycerides. Also told me I should consider myself lucky that im not diabetic yet. I was extremely disappointed in myself. Its nobody's fault but mine, life wasnt great and I indulged in junk food as a coping mechanism. I did know im obese and I did made a few attempts to lose weight but I had a real wake up call in the doctor's office that day. Im not doing anything special, I try not to eat too many carbs and I eat around 1500 cal a day. Right now im working on drinking enough water and getting some exercise. Gyms are closed but I try to walk and ride my bike. I feel like im not capable of doing a lot of exercises right now because im afraid my weight is too much for my poor joints and I have a knee problem Im not able to take care of now. Im really proud on myself and I dont plan to stop until I reach normal BMI. Please lose weight if you are morbidly obese like me. My family member has all kinds of health problems due to being overweight and all of that could be prevented if they took care of their health while it was still possible to prevent health issues. Its not about fitting into your jeans from high school, its about saving your health while you still can. I wish you all to be the biggest losers and to remain healthy! Cheers! [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone else feel like the coronavirus pandemic is helping them lose weight? Posted: 06 Apr 2020 11:28 AM PDT I (29 M, 285 lbs) lost about 15 pounds over 4 months before I began social distancing 3 weeks ago, and have managed to lose another 5 since I started teleworking. I think my anxiety about this pandemic is outweighing my anxieties about food. So far, I've found that: -I avoid going to 7-11 to buy junk food for fear of catching the virus and spreading it to my wife and our parents. This is probably the longest I've gone without going into a 7-11 in over five years. -I'm walking/exercising more routinely to make sure I maintain my sanity. -Because I'm not at work, I am successfully avoiding the vending machine. -I fear anxious eating and running out of food at home, so I've been more carefully tracking my calories Is anyone else experiencing this? I pray for this to be over soon and for everyone whose struggling, but really hope that I can build on the progress and discipline I'm making once it is. [link] [comments] |
| [SV] I'm no longer obese! How I lost 25 lbs in 90 days Posted: 06 Apr 2020 11:48 PM PDT In the beginning of January, I realised that I had gained a lot of weight again. I weighed 97,6 kg at 170 cm, today I'm down to 86 kg. I wanted to do something about it. I posted here about two months ago, when I had been counting calories for about 3 weeks. My first plan was to just start with a goal of logging calories (1300 per day) for six weeks. I have now managed to do it over 12 weeks. I increased the goal to 1350 after those first six weeks. I have used FitnessPal to track my calories and sHealth to track my weight and exercise. I don't really work out, but go on long walks about 3-4 times a week. This week, I finally reached my goal of just being overweight, instead of obese in terms of BMI. I have used sHealth since 2013, but logged more frequently from 2016 and onwards. Recently, I also found some old notes from an old gym, so I found weight data from 2011. I put everything together in a chart, and I love how seeing the stats make it so clear to me that what I am doing has been working. I cannot remember a time in my adult life where I weighed less than I do now. The chart also shows me clearly that I have been losing weight, albeit much more slowly, for the past three years. Each vertical line in the cart indicates a year. I can also see that when I didn't log weight for a few years I gained over 10 kgs. So logging weight will continue to be important to me so that I can keep track. My plans for the future now is to continue down to 80 kg (176 lbs) which would still be overweight. I plan to stick with 1350 calories per day for now, but will slowly increase that so that I keep this sustainable and make sure it is actually a lifestyle change and not a diet. I also look more at the weekly average rather than specific days, and even more so as time goes on. I still like having nice meals on weekends, so if I make sure to eat more healthily during the weeks we can have something nicer (higher in calories) on the weekend. For example, we made dessert and made sure to go for an extra long walk the day after. Being able to not immediately "get punished" on the same day also helps me keep a healthy mindset about eating well. We have also, very childishly, skipped dinner on some occasions in order to have a bigger lunch or even like cheese and wine for dinner. It kept us within the calorie goal, even though the meal wasn't very healthy. You also have to live a little :) Seeing statistics really helps. I highly recommend tracking both calories and whatever kind of exercise you use. And I do truly think that even just walking helps, start with something small. You don't have to start working out every day to loose weight. So basically:

| I exercised for the first time in over a year and I feel so good. Posted: 06 Apr 2020 09:10 PM PDT The title pretty much says it all. I downloaded a free home exercise app and did the day one full body work out twice which resulted in 25 minutes of exercise. I was panting and sweating by the time I was done but now that I've taken a shower and gotten tucked into bed I feel so good. Tomorrow I get my diet in check. Quarantine has really kicked my butt, being left in the house with my favorite hobbies: snacking all day and drinking. Tomorrow I'll replace my shower beers with shower seltzers! And I'll keep on with another daily workout. I just wanted to share this NSV with everybody. I'm now a believer that working out feels GOOD and I really hope I can stick with it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Apr 2020 06:51 PM PDT Do you feel like the caterpillar from Bugs Life? Use this time in quarantine to blossom into the beautiful butterfly that you know you are inside. Many are discouraged by the fact that they are isolated from others. Use it to your advantage. Make the small changes that lead to big differences. Think of the shock on their face when they see that you lost 5, 10, 15 pounds! The change will be that much more visible when they haven't seen you on a daily basis, seeing the pounds dropping off ounce by ounce (or gram by gram for my non-Freedom Unit Losers). The cocoon is a life changing experience for a caterpillar. Their bodies get broken down from the inside out, in what I can only imagine is a rather unpleasant experience. The caterpillar doesn't give up as a digested pod of goo though. It pushes through. It continues its metamorphosis day by day. It doesn't know how much time it has left to remain tucked inside. It just keeps on progressing, becoming closer and closer to the butterfly it is destined to be. Use this time to OWN your Covid Cocoon. Become the beautiful butterfly you are inside. Use this as an opportune for change. You CAN do this. And you WILL do this. (And for all of you who have been deemed an Essential Worker and don't get to stay in a Covid Coccon THANK YOU for all that you are doing to keep the rest of us going. I am doing my best to stay inside and stop the spread, and I hope that others around the world are doing what they can as well) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Apr 2020 06:29 PM PDT Hi guys, fat fuck here. I'm 1.83m tall and almost 130kg. I used to be fine with being overweight, I figured. Didn't mind dying young. But now I have a terrific fiancee and I can't bear to think of having a short life with her around. My problem is, probably quite common here, that I eat my emotions away. Rough day at work? Eat a chicken briyani with extra rice and I'll feel right as rain. Argued with someone? 20pcs mcnuggets and a couple of burgers and I will be a-okay. Recently, I've been thinking about signing up at a gym after covid blows over. (I can't exercise at home due to toxic parents) However I do feel like, first and foremost, I need to figure out how to stop this overeating, or what good is going to the gym? Does anyone have some tips? Edit: I've tried no-carb, less-carb. I've tried cheat days once a week. Always given up. [link] [comments] |
| Anyone else a little bit curious to see what their belly button is supposed to look like Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:41 PM PDT My stomach has changed shape DRAMATICALLY over the past ~5 months, but it's still far from being in a "normal" place. Not saying that having a big stomach is a bad thing, but my belly button is less of a button and more of a sideways line that (even when I hold up the flab that is my stomach) doesn't look like much of anything. I've been very overweight since childhood (doubled my weight in a month when I was 7, just kept going from there) so I have pretty gnarly stretch marks and have never seen my teenage body at a normal weight, let alone my adult body! I can now put my forefinger and thumb around the opposite hand's wrist and touch the two together, which is a first. I can see collar bones for the first time in forever, which is awesome. My face is less of a circle and more of an oval, my jawline will soon be poppin. But my belly button!! I never even thought of that! Is anyone else excited to see the changes their body makes? It used to be just completely unrecognisable under all of my weight, and when I sat down it would just look like another roll. But now I'm starting to notice it changing shape. Super cool. I'm rambling about my belly button because I've been staring at it and moving my body around for like 10 minutes in the mirror. This is what quarantine has reduced me to. Hope everyone is healthy and safe. ((I'm trying not to sound egotistical and like losing weight is only about how you look, I am over-the-moon with how I feel! But it's weird to finally notice myself and see things change!)) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Apr 2020 07:10 AM PDT I've started a Google Doc with strategies to stop myself from eating before I should. I'm finding it particularly hard today when going out is not an option. If you have any other ideas please post them and I'll try to make a master list. Strategies to delay eating Have a hot drink Drink some sugar free squash/fizzy drink Clean something Do the washing up Put a load of washing in Tidy a drawer Pull some weeds Sweep the patio Water plants Trim the hedge Clean the inside of the car Wash the car Wash a window Grab a bag and find 20 items to declutter Vacuum Grab a spray and cloth and find some dust Change bedding Meal plan Make bread dough Start chopping veg and prepping for next meal Do sudoku/Scrabble/crossword Watch a ted talk Start a film/TV series Phone a friend Do something nice for someone Plan a date night for when this is over Get rid of bad photos on drive Make an album of great photos to print Do a YouTube workout Have a bath [link] [comments] |
| Tracking and little changes are so friggin important Posted: 06 Apr 2020 04:32 PM PDT I've been tracking my progress on pen and paper for a bit now and the statistician in me (+ the Rona boredom) decided to do a bit of data analysis. Analyzing my weight over the ~5 month journey (139 days to be exact) really drove home, for me, so much of the advice we see on this subreddit. For reference, I've lost a total of ~34 lbs (186.6 --> 152.8). The first 6 pounds took about a year. I wasn't taking it seriously and wasn't tracking. I only started tracking about 5 months ago and that's where the data starts (179.0 lbs). Still working on it! What I learned from the data:
Major takeaways:

| under 200 for the first time in my teenage life �� Posted: 07 Apr 2020 03:04 AM PDT good morning! this morning i stepped on the scale and didn't see a 2 for the FIRST TIME and i wanted to share because this subs been one of my favourite motivators hahaha. i've always struggled with my weight, i think my highest was around 250 when i was 14 but i can't be sure. now i'm 18 and today i hit 199.6. it's felt like it's been a long ass journey to get here. 11 months ago i weighed in at 230lbs, so it hasn't come off as quickly as i wanted it to but regardless I DID IT. lots of times it didn't feel like i would and getting down to my goal weight feels sooo much more possible now. i've tried a lot of different things but i feel like IF (16:8) is all that's really helped me control what i'm eating, especially right now in quarantine. i'm thankful to have finally found something that works for me and i hope it speeds things up a lil now! i know this isn't as much as a victory as a lot of the people here, but i feel like i've been waiting to see this FOREVER and i felt like crying when i saw it hahah [link] [comments] |
| I binge even when I don’t feel like eating Posted: 06 Apr 2020 09:34 PM PDT It is the weirdest thing! I've been an emotional eater for as long as I can remember, so binging is a habit that is so deeply ingrained in me that I'm not sure how to fix it. Tonight I was completely satisfied by my dinner, intuitively knew that I wasn't hungry and didn't want to eat, and was completely okay with it. I then ate an entire plate of pizza rolls and a huge bowl of ice cream. Why? I'm not sure if it was boredom eating or what, but it's such a weird habit to have. The only thing I can liken it to is leaning on your hand when sitting at a desk. I'm sure a lot of us do it, and we usually don't notice when we do until our hand or face starts feeling weird. It's that exact feeling. It's almost like I don't even realize what I am doing even though I know exactly what I'm doing. Is there a way I can help fix the mind connections that compulsively sort of make me do this? Do you have a similar experience? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Apr 2020 05:49 PM PDT Hey guys. 22/F here. Like the title says, I've been down with COVID for what feels like forever and it's really starting to bum me out. I've been mostly eating at maintenance since I thought that that would best support my recovery from the fever and whatnot. I didn't expect that I would be this exhausted for this long and now I'm wondering if I should drop my calories back since my true maintenance might be lower now with a reduced activity level. It's too bad because I was getting to a really good place with my food/exercise routines and this completely threw it through a loop. The lack of exercise is making me nervous about weight gain. I'd love your thoughts, thank you. Hope you all are well and safe. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2020 01:38 AM PDT I'm a 22 yo male (190 cm and 75-ish kilo, might be less but gonna guess under that) and have been cutting with iifym with 1653 kcal (168 protein, 49 fat and 130 carbs). I'm not quite sure if I should keep cutting or should bulk now. I work out 5 times a week (now at home because of covid-19) and have shown some pictures to make it easier to give better judgement. I used to be a very fat kid and had retained loose skin after losing it. After 2 years it has been less, but still prevalent (gonna assume it might even be less after a couple more years). Thing is that it's hard for me to see when to bulk and cut, even trying to calculate my body-fat is skewed with a calliper because of loose skin. I would very much appreciate your guys' opinion on this matter and hope i posted this on the right sub. :) The body pics: [link] [comments] |
| A wake up call to my dysmorphia: I can now wear the smallest hole on my Apple Watch wrist strap! Posted: 06 Apr 2020 05:22 PM PDT i (female) have worn this smart watch for ages, and have paid little attention to the size i wear. when you buy it it comes with two pairs of adjustable belt like straps, one large and one small. although i've always used the smaller one, i think i must've begun using the 4th or 3rd hole closest to the watch, tight on my wrist. after a few months shy of two years off an on CICO, i'm down from 192lbs to 137lbs (at 5"8), just two pounds away from my forever goal. but just a day or two ago i started remarking how loose it felt on me, even the second smallest hole was too big, almost coming loose in the shower. i used the smallest one and wanted to share my surprise victory. i was ashamed of my weight and how it was hurting my health, yet at the same time i was still unaware of how different my body was then vs now. it's taken a lot of work against my body dysmorphia to realize just how smaller i've gotten, and this watch thing was a big wake up call. sometimes my brain still doesn't want to see any differences and tells me i'm still overweight and look the same, even though that's far from the truth. my wrists are smaller, my thighs are almost skinny again. (but now i'm kinda "skinny fat" and need to work on toning somehow). these times are very stressful, so i'm thankful for the little moments of joy that i experience every so often. some of us track our loss in our belt loops, but i guess the same can be done with our watches.

| How do you guys deal with body dysmorphia? Posted: 06 Apr 2020 10:57 AM PDT So I recently lost 110lbs and I have 40lb to go to reach my goal but I still feel like I look exactly the same and I often think about this journey I took and how I still look and and feel the same way about myself. Arguably I feel worse because I see the numbers going down but my appearance still looks the same to me. Idk this sucks and I absolutely did not think I would be affected by this and when I did see people y'all about body dysmorphia I didn't understand how they couldn't see the progress they made and now I'm in the exact same position. The only times I do notice is if I look at old pictures but in the mirror I honestly cannot tell the difference. Any of you guys feel this way? If so how did you learn to see yourself differently?

| Posted: 06 Apr 2020 07:27 PM PDT This is effectively day 1... for the 3rd or 4th time. I don't know why or if this will be the last day 1, but this time I am trying to be honest with myself about my effort and my expectations. The first Day 1 led to about 30 lbs lost, followed by a gain of about 40 lbs before I became pregnant with my first child. After giving birth, I weighted about 20 lbs less than the day I found out I was pregnant. Yay! That was followed by another 40 lbs of weight gain leading up to getting pregnant with my second child. After the birth of my second child, I weighed about 10 lbs less than before I was pregnant. Yay! Keeping with tradition, I gained about 15 lbs in the last 7 months. I currently sit at about 210 lbs. I'm 5'6". (Don't ask me if I'm male or female. I just said I was pregnant, twice.) My goal weight is 130-140 lbs. I'd be very, very comfortable there. For Day 1, I had a lovely day working from home, ate a few more cookies than I probably should have, but had less chocolate than I normally would have. I finished the day off with a long walk/jog that kicked my tail. I used to do that same route with no issues. Right after the walk/jog, I really felt like tomorrow will be another Day 1. Cookies and Pirate Booty are calling my name! I cooled down for a bit, started writing this, and now it doesn't seem so daunting. Maybe tomorrow will be another Day 1, but maybe it won't. If you made it down this far, thanks, and I have a few questions: 1. How do you keep your lack of endurance and physical fitness from holding you down, mentally and physically?

| Isolating with my fiancé’s parents who eat and drink a lot... like too much. Posted: 06 Apr 2020 11:07 PM PDT I (M:21, 5'11, 263lbs) two weeks ago was 252lbs however my fiancé and I to try to self isolate better decided to go home away from our college to isolate. Big mistake, they eat so much here and the fridge is so full of crap and that all! No health food here whatsoever. I usually have a calorie intake of 1200 calories to help me lose weight. I'm probably sitting at 2,000 because it is so hard to turn down food here! Any help is welcome I would just straight up say it however not to sound rude but the big guy trying to lose weight is not always taken seriously about eating habits. Thank you in advance! I have yes also though about buying my own food while we are here. Problem is the fridge is sooooo filled with crap food there is not room for mine. Also any help with calorie counting while eating someone else's cooking or not being able to measure my own would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Is it a bad idea to eat a lot of low-calorie food? Posted: 06 Apr 2020 02:31 PM PDT Hello all beautiful people of this sub! I am a 19-year-old girl, 163cm/5'4"tall and started my health journey on 1st january, weighing 89.9kg/196lbs, now I weigh 74.6kg/163lbs. I eat between 1100-1300kcal a day, try to walk 10000 steps (7,5km-9km a day), and workout 3 to 4 times a week (eliptical, jumping rope, and HIIT). I am very addicted to food, and came in term with that. So I decided to start counting calories and sticking to my 1200kcal daily in the beginning of February. But a few weeks ago I went back to my old habits because of stress, and ended up gaining back 3kg in 3 days. I decided, after I came back to my senses, to start eating big meals with a multitude of very low-calorie veggies (zucchini, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber...), and fruits (apples, strawberries, blueberries, tangerines...) in big quantities, but I log every single thing I eat on my fitnesspal. I enjoy this alot but I am afraid that I am doing something wrong. This is the only way I can satisfy the monster in my stomach. Is this a bad idea? Is it going to worsen my food addiction? Edit: crappy grammar. [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 6 Posted: 06 Apr 2020 02:43 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy Monday! Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): 207.4 this morning, 207.7 trend weight. Uterus be scumbaging, I hope this whooshes when my uterus is done with me. Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): 1534 ish calories planned for today. X/X average calories weekly average. Exercise 5 days a week: 30 minute walk at lunch, I should swing my tbar tonight but we'll see. 6/6 days. Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing, fancy coffee out no more than 2 times a week 3/10, no fast food): Really wanted trashy fast food breakfast. I didn't give in. I'm tired which means all day today I will be fighting the binge urges. Try a new recipe once a week: Cheesy broccoli & rice casserole so far. 1/4 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Couldn't make myself do it yesterday. That book is a tough gig. 0/50 pages. Drawing prompt every day: Haven't yet, we'll see what's doing tonight. 3/6 days. Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: Holy shit the nightmares were legit last night. The plus side was despite many of them I went back to sleep fairly quick after each one. So that's improvement! How are all you doing? [link] [comments] |
| [NSC] the joys of running again + skinny jeans! Posted: 06 Apr 2020 05:07 PM PDT Hey friends...at the end of last year I was at 209, my highest weight ever. I hated how I looked and what I'd done to myself. In early February the wife and I jumped on the Jenny Craig plan (I'm not shilling, just a satisfied customer!) to help us reset some bad eating habits. Before I was at my worst, I was pretty seriously into running - slow as molasses but I loved it. I did one full marathon, probably 10 half marathons over the years, and more 5K and 10K races than I can count. I decided that I was going to get fit in addition to getting skinny. At my highest weight I was wearing 36/30 jeans (53M,I stand 5' 6"). I called them my "fat pants". Since starting JC I'm down 20 lbs...started at 205 and I'm clocking in at 185 now. But that's not my biggest win...my real wins are:
This community has been super awesome and very inspiring and supportive. Thank you all for encouraging me on my journey. Hey folks...if I can do it, you can too! [link] [comments] |
