| I think my mother is going to pass away from COVID-19 and I am distraught (ED Trigger warning) Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:07 PM PDT Hello everyone. It's as the title says. My mother tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently in hospital. Alone. She's 67 and has chronic health problems. I think this is it for her. I spoke to her on the phone and she sounds awful. I poured my heart out to hear, sobbing, saying how much I love her and how good of a mother she was. The reason that I am typing this out here is that I've had a history of Binge eating, starvation and overeating in general. I generally do not know what is going to happen in regards to this. This is going to be my first bereavment. I'm just typing this out right now just so I can have something to say. If anyone is going through anything similar/ has experience with anything similar, please talk to me! I am beyond devastated. Thank you EDIT: Everyone, I'm speechless! From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much this means the world to me. If anyone wants to PM me for support or just to talk, please go right ahead. I'll keep you all updated on the situation. Thank you once again [link] [comments] |
| Before and after 1/01/2020 - 14/02/2020 Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:19 AM PDT Hi! It took me a while to get the courage to post these pictures here, but I'm so proud of myself and I hope other people will get some motivation! :) I've had a baby 2 years ago and couldn't push myself to lose weight.. lazy ass me!! Diet: 1200-1300kcal Mostly OMAD sometimes 20/4 fasting Workouts: -90% cross trainer (20-60mins 6 days a week with 6 days break for period in January) -10% Pilates Height: 163cm / 5'3 Before - 64.8kg / 142.8lbs After - 54.2 / 119.4lbs It's been almost two months since I achieved my goal, I haven't gained anything - I keep losing though! Also I feel much better and still can't believe I had so much strength and willpower to do what I did in such a short period of time, never felt tired or unhappy, but the opposite!! :) Edit: New links for better comparison. Edit2: Added measurements ! Before: Thigh: 56,5cm / 22.2 inch Calf: 36cm / 14.2 inch Waist: 74,5cm / 29.3 inch Hips: 101cm / 39.8 inch Bicep: 27cm / 10.6 inch After: Thigh: 52cm ( -4,5cm) / 20.4 inch ( -1.8 inch) Calf: 33,5cm ( -2,5cm) / 13.1 inch ( -1.1 inch) Waist: 63cm ( -11,5cm) / 24.8 inch ( -4.5 inch) Hips: 90,5cm ( -10,5cm) / 35.6 inch ( -4.2 inch) Bicep: 24cm ( -3cm) / 9.4 inch ( -1.2 inch) Lost 32cm! / 12.8 inch!

| I will never reach my goal weight Posted: 01 Apr 2020 05:38 AM PDT There, I said it. I will never get there. Why? Because every time I do, my "goal weight" changes. The further along in this journey I go, the more I'm realizing that it's not about the number on the scale anymore. It's about how I FEEL. Am I comfortable in my own skin? Am I healthy? Am I happy? Does my doctor think I'm healthy? I've been able to answer "yes" to all four of these questions for a while now, and I STILL try and lose those last 3lbs. But why? I have this notion in my head that once I get to whatever my next goal weight is, I'll be even happier/even more comfortable in my skin. To date, this still hasn't happened by getting to whatever my next goal was. For what feels like forever, my entire world has revolved around weight loss. I have lost more than half of my body weight. I recently decided: no more. No more trying to lose weight. I'm done. I am well within a healthy BMI range, I've accomplished all of my non-scale goals, and I'm happy. Why do we always have to have more? Maintenance mode is a weird place to be for me, mostly because I have never been here before. This is uncharted territory. But I have worked my ass off to be here (literally, it's gone). Here we go, cheers to maintenance mode and all that it entails, even if I'm 3lbs heavier than I thought I wanted to be! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Apr 2020 07:58 PM PDT I know there are a lot more important things going on in the world and even this subreddit than a number on a scale, but I'm thankful I do have a more private outlet like this one to celebrate my victory. I'm a 29-year-old woman and weighed 239 lbs in early January and am down to 198 today! Really proud of my progress and figured I'd share what's been working for me.
I'm super bummed that I can't complete the half marathon as planned this weekend but I am still running and can't ever regret shedding 40 pounds and getting on my way to a healthier me. Thanks for listening! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Apr 2020 08:09 PM PDT i'm 17F and 5'3. back in april 2018, at my highest weight of 75kg (165 pounds), i decided enough was enough and got straight into losing weight. i didnt weigh food or anything but worked on improving bad eating habits and eyeballing calories, and eventually reached my lowest weight of 61.8 kg (136 pounds) back in march 2019! unfortunately i got too confident in my abilities to maintain that weight without weighing myself and calorie counting and here i am again, at 76kg. in the past few months i've told myself that i'd start again but kept slipping yet again. however, today feels different. i've done it before and i can do it again. i'm sick of feeling terrible about myself all the time. i'm posting this to hold myself accountable. this time i'm aiming for 55kg (120 pounds) i can do it!

| Obese man walking 5 miles per day Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:22 PM PDT I'm in a shitty situation over my weight and metal health. I'm also currently stuck in abusive household with no choice but to stay put until I can save enough money and with restricted movement due to Coronavirus limiting options. So I've decided to tackle my weight and remove myself from the situation as much as possible n walk this stress away, "hopefully" Now I'm back to 320 after losing 50 lb last year. Which happed over 12 months of making smarter food choices n getting off my arse for first time in years. Will I be ok walking 5 miles a day that should take me arould 2 hours or less, 7days a week and listening to my body, I've taken few more walks than normal this week n have felt so much better it kinda sad I know but it's a first step to newer happier healthier life away from toxic people and drugs.

| Wear your jeans during quarantine for sanity and accountability? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 09:54 AM PDT Hi all! Like many people around the world, I am in quarantine. Yesterday marked three weeks since the end of"normal" conditions of working out at the gym for me. I know for a fact I haven't been eating or working out like I usually do, but I have given myself some slack given the unusual conditions. That being said, I put on jeans for this first time yesterday, just for a sense of normalcy and to get me out of pjs. As excepted, they were a bit tighter than a month ago, but by the end of the day, I really noticed the tightness and stopped myself from over snacking after dinner. I realized this small act of wearing jeans can keep me feeling more normal day to day inside, but also keeps me accountable for overeating throughout the day. I wanted to share this small victory, which seems so simple now that I think about it, about a weight loss/maintenance tip that works for me. Stay safe and healthy all [link] [comments] |
| March was brutal but I still lost weight! Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:47 PM PDT March was a roller coaster of a month, as I'm sure it was for everyone. I started off the month celebrating my birthday, and then a few other friends birthdays. This resulted in a lot of eating out and drinking, which caused a 5lb gain. Then my job moved to be fully remote and I lost access to my gym. Another big change to the system. Last week, I was officially laid off. Safe to say, I will probably remember March 2020 for the rest of my life. BUT throughout all this I still lost 6lbs, which is not as much as I wanted to lose, but I'm still so proud of myself for not letting all these hiccups keep me from giving up! Even though I was going (and still am) through some hard times, I have proved that I can stay on track. I'm looking forward to the month of April, where I can truly focus on losing weight.

| Posted: 01 Apr 2020 09:16 AM PDT I won't bore you with my sob story about how I got fat. Just that I am. But... I wasn't always like this. 7 years ago I rode horses competitively, was a varsity cheerleader and dancer. I recently decided I needed to get back in shape. 40 pounds is my goal. I am embarrassed to see family and forget about going on dates! Today I opened the app FitOn (highly recommended. Its free) and chose a medium intensity 'full body blast' workout. 30 mins. Well. I'm dying. Sweat dripping, spotty vision, gasping for air. For awhile I have know I was overweight, but I guess it didn't cross my mind that I was 'out of shape'? It seems like an even bigger setback to be unable to workout at the level I expected. :( Thanks for listening friends. [link] [comments] |
| Lost 10 kilos and struggling to keep it. Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:09 AM PDT Hi! Last January, I made a conscious effort to lose weight in a healthy way. Since I do not go out a lot (I work at home) I've been cut my rice intake to one cup/day, IF, and home workouts. I've managed to lose 10 kilos since January, from 78 kg to now 67.9 kg. However, I am struggling to lose more weight and even keep the 10 kg as we are in lockdown due to COVID 19 and I am feeling stressed. I am prone to stress eating. Thankfully the discipline I have acquired in the last months have helped me immensely but sometimes I find myself craving. Any tips on how to control stress eating tendencies? And how do you eat healthy with limited supplies? [link] [comments] |
| Being super full leads makes me binge eat?? Posted: 01 Apr 2020 05:28 PM PDT This might sound really weird but maybe someone can relate. So I have found that when I become overly full, it makes me start binge eating! its like the only time I will start binging Is when Im really full, not when Im starving or even hungry. But if I get to the point where im satisfied and im just "regular" full, im totally ok. Now I think this is because obviously binging creates the feeling of being overly full. So, I associate being overly full with binging. Therefore, if I become overly full, I binge eat! Guess its just such a bad habit I've created. Not sure if that makes sense. So basically if I avoid becoming overly full I am fine. Anyone else feel this way? [link] [comments] |
| SV: Passed 100lb lost today (inc stats) Posted: 02 Apr 2020 03:08 AM PDT Guys, I'm so excited. Technically I don't count my weigh ins unless they're on a monday, but I track throughout the week and this morning weighed in at 138lb, down 101 from my starting weight of 239lb! For reference, I'm 27F and 5'4. Still not quite where I want to be, wouldn't mind losing another 14lb or so, but I'm so frigging happy! Some stats in case anyone cares: BMI - 40.7 to 23.5 Waist - 48 inches to 28 inches Bust - 53 inches to 36 inches Hips - 57 inches to 39 inches Lost x7 dress sizes Lost x1 shoe size Lost x5 bra sizes (back) and x3 bra sizes (cup) Got my resting heart rate down to 54bpm Averaging 7,800 steps / day Minimum 75 minutes of cardio / day (initially just stationery bike but also treadmill more recently. Was also going to the gym once / week until lockdown). Estimate body fat - 25% Based on averaging between 1000-1200 calories a day. I took a few weeks break and found a comfortable TDEE between 1600-1800 to maintain. Stats aside, I feel so much better. My feet used to hurt if I stood up for too long, and walking upstairs was a feat since I had to stop at the top to catch my breath. I got very good at pretending I wasn't struggling to breathe. Now, stairs are so much easier. I'm not hot all the time and my thighs don't chafe when I wear skirts or dresses. Loose skin is definitely an issue and something I'm struggling with, but it's worth it to be able to move and be active. [link] [comments] |

| Skinnyfat People: Did you have to push down your goal weight to finally get lean? Posted: 02 Apr 2020 01:34 AM PDT Hey Reddit, [M26/SW199/CW166] Have any of you skinnyfat guys have come across this? I have been cutting for the past 7 months and it feels like forever. My goal is to reach 10% BF and get properly lean before bulking. What I initially thought was going to be a few months cut, turned out to be twice as long. I've pushed my GW twice already, thinking I would have reached my goal BF percentage at that weight (172 -> 163 -> 159?), but this couldn't be further from the truth. I think I felt into the trap of severely underestimating my BF percentage. I'm fairly tall (6.2") so I could conceive my fat levels to the point I fooled myself too. Given my weight loss I was around 30% BF, but saw myself more like 20%. Now I should be 6 lbs from seeing abs and reaching 10%, but this last month is just feeling so long. What are your thoughts?

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 1 Posted: 01 Apr 2020 01:14 PM PDT Hello lovely losers, To the newbies, welcome! To you returning folks, keep getting after it! The world is weird right now but we can still be here conquering goals! Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): 210.4 this morning, 207.7 trend weight. Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): 1518 calories planned for today. Veg, fruit & turkey burgers planned for dinner. X/X average calories weekly average. Exercise 5 days a week: 30 minute walk at lunch plus swings tonight. 1/1 days. Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing, fancy coffee out no more than 2 times a week 1/10, no fast food): Tonight I need get my drawing stuff out & I will have the most glorious shower. I am also poking around at potential rewards for onederland. I found a cool looking cycle desk thingy. I could game while doing cardio without leaving my humble abode. I want to live in that world. Try a new recipe once a week: I'm recipe shopping currently. I want familiar comfort recipes for meal preps so dinners may get weird around here! X/4 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Not today. I prefer to hit this over the weekends so I can have longer to sit & digest it. 0/50 pages. Drawing prompt every day: Gonna put my sketchbook out on my nightstand tonight. X/1 days. Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: I'm feeling like I've got my hand on the rudder. I want my goals more than I want to eat poorly. I'm very lucky to still be employed & have access to fresh food. I'm grateful to have the support network I have. Taking it day by day & not using the state of things to forget goals is important my friends. Now, tell us all about your day 1 folks! [link] [comments] |

| My Best Tricks for Tackling Cravings Posted: 01 Apr 2020 02:01 PM PDT We're all in such a hard situation right now and I know a lot of us are struggling with cravings. I wanted to share my best tips and the things that have worked well for me. Hopefully this can help someone else too! -Commit to 1 week of separating the activity from the food (like no snacks with TV). -Keep higher calorie snacks on the top shelf of the pantry, out of reach. -Tell yourself you can have it, but in 20 minutes. -Brush your teeth. Minty flavors help curb cravings for something sweet. -Be prepared with healthy treats like dried apricots, dates, dark chocolate, or frozen fruit. [link] [comments] |
| Effort isn't paying off and I'm getting demotivated Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:47 PM PDT So, I started at my heaviest 71 kg (height 5'6, age 22 goal weight 55 kg) and after one month of working out (cardio) and eating at a calorie deficit I cannot see any difference. I weighed myself last week and it showed 68.3 kg. Now I am apparently 70.3 so I am not really losing weight I am around the same weight I started at a month ago. None of the clean eating has actually done anything for me. People say you're supposed to lose 2 lbs per week which is 8 lbs 4 kg per month but it doesn't really look like I'm losing what I should be or I'm losing and then gaining it back the next day. I reduced the calories even more and now I'm having 1200 per day and I just feel nauseated and dizzy. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:22 PM PDT Hey guys. I've really taken this time in quarantine to cook & meal-prep my foods. I've been watching my calories and.... i'm noticing the LITTLE THINGS.

| Posted: 01 Apr 2020 11:55 AM PDT Hey fellow losers! Since this whole quarantine lockdown thing, whatever you want to call it, I've been counting calories in an effort to build better eating habits and lose some of this unnessesary body fat that I've been carrying around for the past 2 years. I've done this before, but never been very succsesful. This time, since I am now working from home, there are literally no excuses or distractions (break room cake anyone?). I am entirely responsible for my physical being. So far, I've been logging for about a week and eating between 1100 - 1400 calories per day. Up until yesterday, keeping my calories within my goal was easy -I fasted until lunch, and then ate carefully measured quantities of good food using my handy dandy kitchen scale and my mouth. I felt satisfied mentally and physically. Does anyone have suggestions as to low calorie snacks for when it's 7 pm, I've already had supper, and I have only 150 calories left of my daily allotment? Carrot sticks only last so long. [link] [comments] |
| Rant about weight loss and mental health Posted: 01 Apr 2020 06:59 PM PDT This is just a rant, but if anyone has some helpful advice I'll take it. I've been struggling with weight loss for a while now and it's been extra difficult because of some chronic health issues. My rant though is that all of the motivation that I find online always seems so PUNITIVE! All I want is to find some support and motivation that isn't along the lines of "what do you like more, food, or being able to see your hip bones in a bathing suit"? There is a tone of stuff online about body positivity but none of it has the message that I can love my body while still wanting to get healthier. It's like it has to be one or the other. Either my body is perfect and it doesn't need to change, or it's a "motivation" designed to get me to exercise by feeling ashamed of myself. And every time I google healthy weight loss at this point I just get ads for noom 😒. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spots, and I'm not saying I've seen this attitude on this sub, but it's definitely out there. And I would go so far as to say it's the dominant result when looking online for motivation. Rant over, thanks friends. [link] [comments] |
