| What you ate yesterday doesn't matter Posted: 21 Apr 2020 04:01 AM PDT You want pizza. You order it and say to yourself "I'm only going to eat 3 slices." But you end up eating the full pizza anyway. Suddenly you feel so guilty, you're well over TDEE and think you've ruined your diet. So you eat a bit more, fuck it, you've already cheated, right? You wake up the next day plagued with guilt. You're bloated and avoid the mirror. You know you shouldn't, but you step on the scale. +2.6lbs. What have I done? You're disappointed and in shock. You turn to food to make you feel better, you'll get back on track tomorrow. Tomorrow comes, and the same again. A week down the line you haven't counted a single calorie and avoided the scale. You feel disappointed, guilty, demotivated. It takes you another week to finally get back on the bandwagon. You haven't just taken a step back in weight loss, but your mental state has suffered too. Or, in an alternate universe: You want pizza. You order it and say to yourself "I'm only going to eat 3 slices." But you end up eating the full pizza anyway. You enjoy it cause it tastes damn good, you don't remember the last time you had even a slice. You drink your water and go to sleep. You don't weigh yourself that morning, you know not to because of the The absolute worst case is you wait 3 days to reach your goal weight. That's it. You're probably better off mentally too. I struggle a lot with this, and not everyone does but I also know it isn't just me either. I'm learning to include foods I love in my diet in moderation and not feel guilty. Your diet has to be sustainable for you. When I eat foods I associate with "cheating", I think it's ruined my progress and say "fuck it." In reality it hasn't ruined anything, until I give into that unhealthy "fuck it" mentality. It doesn't matter what you did yesterday, it matters what you do today. If you start today, you can't be any worse off than you were yesterday, remember that. It can only get better if you start now. Sincerely, the girl that ate every slice of a domino's large pizza, loved every second of it, then went on an enjoyable long ass walk in the sun :) edit: just to avoid any confusion,- I'm not condoning regular overeating (or binging if it's that bad) by "moving on", especially if it's regular enough to affect your progress or becomes binging, and is generally something you feel you can't control. That requires more help than encouraging words and accepting mistakes -I'm also not suggesting you go OTT and eat a full large pizza like I did, at all. It can be a piece of chocolate where you feel shit after, by default associating emotion with food. -I'm not saying eating at a deficit for a week after overeating by 1200 cals means it's okay to do it again the next week, or even the week after as long as you "move on as much as possible". -Please don't take it as a be all end all! As someone who has been to their GW and hovers about 1-2lbs above it, I'm learning a more sustainable way of eating and that mistakes I make, such as yesterday, will not undo my 50lbs of progress UNLESS I LET IT. EDIT 2- I'm so happy to see everyone coming together on this and giving tips!! The sense of community is awesome. To all those who said you needed to hear it and feel less alone in this, I'm so glad I posted, it's just for you guys!! Hope it was the encouragement you needed to keep going and not let any slip ups get the best of you! [link] [comments] |
| NSFW F/31/5'8" [363>233=130] Re: Insecurities. Posted: 21 Apr 2020 02:32 PM PDT I'm posting an image album to hold myself accountable. The images at a higher weight in this album are not even at my highest weight, u I was about 300 lbs. I am now 233. I barely have any pictures of me at my highest weight and any that I do, are angled to represent inaccurate depictions of what my body looks like. I realized I still do this. I don't even know how I really look. I'm constantly disappointed when I catch a candid photo or a glimpse of myself in the mirror where I'm not trying to hide my arms or suck in my stomach. I've lost 130 lbs and often cannot see a difference in myself because I'm so used to hiding and tricking myself into thinking I look differently. It's an incredibly embarrassing and uncomfortable realization, so I'm trying to post photos today for posterity. [link] [comments] |

| I am finally learning how to lose weight and I am so excited! Posted: 21 Apr 2020 11:22 AM PDT I am 5'6 and 20 years old. I've always had horrible body dysmorphia and though my 155lbs doesn't look bad on me but I always wanted to start losing some weight and get back to my healthy 130s. I finally started counting calories which I have never done. I'm doing 1500 a day and working out about 2 hours a day. No crazy workouts, I just walk/run two miles and do some yoga. I haven't weighed myself in a while because scales give me terrible anxiety but today with the help of my mom I decided to step on the scale and face my fears and I'm down to 147!? I can't believe I finally put my mind to it and lost weight! After talking to my doctor I think my GW is going to be 135. I know I haven't lost a lot but it feels really good to finally have control of food for once in my life! I really just wanted to share it with someone. People always say "You look fine stop worrying" when I tell them about this stuff and I know this community is so supportive. [link] [comments] |
| Today it's 365 days since I started counting calories! Posted: 21 Apr 2020 07:55 AM PDT And wow, time has flown by! It's already been a year, and here I am. When I started counting calories I had already lost 30.2 kg (66.5 lbs) due to medications (metformin for PCOS), and had gone from 145kg (319 lbs) to 114.8 kg (253 lbs). I am really grateful for that because that was the push I needed to try to actively lose weight - and it seems this time I might actually end up being successful for the first time in my life. So I started counting calories at 114.8 kg, initially 1900 calories a day and then slowly over time I've whittled it down as I felt things got easier - and today my daily goal is 1500. Due to my relationship with food having never been a completely healthy one to say it mildly, 1500 is the lowest I'm willing to go, because I don't want to accidentally become obsessive about it as I have in my past. (for reference, I'm 174.5 cm/5'8") This whole calorie counting shindig hasn't been consistently easy and I've had many more days where I've straight up eaten twice or even three times as much in a day as I should than I care to admit, depending usually on mood and time of the month and such. If I'd done nothing but eat within my limits I'd probably be closer to my goal weight than I am, but I'm not a machine and we all mess up sometimes. What's been important for me is to not consider each mistake a chance to start over, but rather just continuing on from that point and getting back in the saddle! My weight has also not consistently gone down. While it has gone down and not up, it has especially in the last few months slowed heavily and even stilled, although thankfully in the past few days it's started going down again, and in this past year I've lost another 28.6 kg (63 lbs), for a total of 58.8 kg (129.6 lbs) lost. I'm at the lowest weight I've been in my adult life now at 86.2 kg (190 lbs) - actually since I was 15, and it's insane to me. I'd still like to lose another 16-21 kg (35-46 lbs) depending on how I feel it looks on me, but I actually have hope and believe I'll be able to reach my goal. I have a lot of clothes that don't fit me properly anymore and not a lot of money to replace it, as well as a fair amount of loose skin that I'm hoping will reduce over time, but I'm excited to see what I'll end up looking like and how long it'll take me. I'm in it for the long haul and not a quick fix so who knows when I might reach my goal, but I'm hoping to do so within the next couple of years. This sub has definitely helped both inspire and keep me on track, so I'm grateful for that. Here's to the next year! [link] [comments] |
| Trying to change my habits to the person I want to be. Posted: 21 Apr 2020 08:30 AM PDT I don't want to be the girl who eats a whole pint of ice cream in one sitting. I don't want to be someone who eats an entire pizza alone for dinner. I don't want to be the girl with food wrappers and dirty dishes on her nightstand. I read a post that said "think of the person you want to be. Think of all her habits, slowly start doing them one by one and you will become her." Well the girl I want to be isn't a slob. She cares about herself and she doesn't overeat because "it's just so yummy". I eat so much because I love food, but food has an u healthy power over me. Yesterday was the first day I managed to get through the whole day without binging thanks to this mindset. I just need to remember to be the person I want to be, not who I don't. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2020 06:56 PM PDT Before quarantine, I used to ride my bike in Central Park (NYC) maybe 2-3 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. However, like everywhere else, NYC is in lockdown so I can't really do that at the moment. Sometime last year, I bought an exercise bike specifically as backup for when the weather is bad and whatnot, but compared to riding in the park where you can feel the breeze, go up and down the hills, and see other people...riding on a stationary bike demands much more discipline from me. The exercise bike has gotten a lot of use since one of my key motivation was that this helps keep me be in shape for what I actually like doing the most, riding outside. But ,for the past month or so, with quarantine being seemingly endless, it does make it seem harder and harder to do consistently. I know the quarantine is necessary to combat the disease so I agree with the order, but it also doesn't make it easy. I have actually lost like 3 pounds since I am still eating well with no problem, it's just the exercise. How is everybody else dealing with exercise, especially those that had a stable regimen? I'm still going to try use the exercise bike, I've been doing it at least once or twice a week, but it hard and feels sporadic. One thought that always helps is that a month from now, I'll be happy I did the effort today, so I just need to constantly remind myself that. [link] [comments] |
| NSV- I finally met my goal of running a mile in under 7 minutes!!! Posted: 21 Apr 2020 09:27 AM PDT This has been a journey going on 3 years now. I(M34 6'4" ) was 360 lbs and very unhappy with my appearance and my stamina. I thought that I just was not built mentally to enjoy working out and eating well. Seemed like I was destined to follow the footsteps of my family down a road of obesity. But I wanted more, my second child was due in a couple days and my first child was almost two, I had promised myself when the first child was born that he would never remember me as a fat dad. I knew if I didn't change something soon that he would remember me as a fat dad. So I started with just following the weight watchers app(never went to a meeting) and I got a gym membership. One of my coworkers started going with me 3 days a week. At first it was soooo hard getting up every morning and going and not eating until I was full. But soon, I started just finding it was part of my routine. It took about a year to lose 100 lbs. After that year was done I was hooked on the gym. Still had my ups and downs with eating habits but I was hooked on working out. Its been 2 years since then and I have hovered between 230 and 250 for most of that time. It has been hard to get down to my goal weight of 210, I feel relatively happy with my body so I will go some periods of time not eating like I should but the one thing I have kept up on is working out, even during quarantine. It has become my mantra, no matter how I feel, how I ate the day before or how late I stayed up, I work out everyday or at least do something very active everyday. I had a goal about 2 years ago to run a mile in under 7 minutes, problem was, even with all my workouts I never ran. I walked a lot, miles and miles, golfing, hiking but just didn't like running. I would go a week or two running here and there but until January, of this year, I hadn't been serious about it. Starting in January I was running on a treadmill a couple miles a day, mostly at 6 mph, then in February I made a goal of running 100 miles in a month after seeing a friend post that goal online. I ended up doing 120. Never loved it but just made it a goal and worked toward it. Now that my gym is closed all I have are some weights at home and running shoes. So about a month ago I started running outside, which was harder than the tread but way more enjoyable. I was able to run a mile in about 7:30 at the start of quarantine but today I hit 6:58! It feels so gratifying! Now I have to come up with some other goal to keep moving forward. To hit my goal of 210, and get the body I want. One thing that has kept me motivated has been motivational youtube videos, The Rock, Arnold, Eric Thomas, David Goggins, Tony Robbins, Les Brown and more. I listens while working out, while driving, Showering and whenever I am feeling down. David Goggin's book, Cant Hurt Me, is probably my favorite thing to motivate me. Just love it, how tells it like it is. Along with that, my kids and wife motivate me, to be the best me I can be. There have been lots of failures along the way, but the one thing I have done through all of them is work out. I think if you can do that, you can keep moving forward. I believe that every one of us can do anything and become the best us, if we just keep moving forward. Keep on killing it people! [link] [comments] |

| Scared that moving back into my parent's place is going to make me lose my progress Posted: 21 Apr 2020 07:47 PM PDT Back when I was in college I would snack when I wanted and eat three full meals a day. I went into the at risk for overweight category. One day I was sitting in my chair in my room at my parents' house and saw what I looked like in that position through the reflection of my window. I lost a bunch of weight after that. Now that I'm on my own I have full control over my diet. I eat a meal prepped chicken stir fry for lunch every work day and the same dinner of high protein low calorie food. On the weekends I change it up with restaurants and other home cooked meals but try to keep under my limit. I eat at a deficit but maintain weight because I drink on the weekends. My parents do not understand this. They don't understand that a 5'6" man weighing 130lbs is absolutely normal. They don't understand that I have absolutely no problem eating the same lunch and dinner for years. For 5/7 days every week, I don't have to count, I don't have to obsess, I don't have to worry that I won't feel full. I am extremely impulsive and keeping only these portioned meals without snacks in my house helps immensely. Food is now only a very minor necessity instead of some enjoyable activity to focus on the whole day, which is the single greatest factor to my success. Now I am moving in with them temporarily because I got a job close to my hometown. I will be pressured to eat breakfast, calorie dense foods, dessert, etc. The pantry and basement bar are stocked full of snacks. I will have to get back to diligently portioning my meals, and because they are healthy-ish yet dense (spaghetti, red meats, etc.) it might not be enough to satiate me for the night. I am going to eat less in front of them and sit idly by all kinds of snacks to bring back these obsessions and cravings. Are there any pointers to avoid a "relapse" when in the presence of compulsive temptations and overly Italian parents? [link] [comments] |
| So I'm just going to bite the bullet - how the hell do I work out at home? Posted: 21 Apr 2020 08:35 PM PDT I've been trying to do the research on my own because I feel like an idiot for not being able to figure it out. But I just have no clue. I had barely started going to the gym when the plague and locusts descended on us. Now I'm sitting around at home getting fatter and something has to change. I don't have a pull up bar or anything but can anyone help me try and figure out things to do? I was thinking of finding some yoga videos for once or twice a week. Then there's stuff like push ups and sit ups but I feel like just mindlessly doing them without a purpose or without getting more muscle groups isn't going to be good in the long run. I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question but a) I'd rather look dumb than not have the answer and b) maybe this will help out someone else going through a similar thing. [link] [comments] |
| A rather rude wakeup call (literally) Posted: 21 Apr 2020 06:30 AM PDT I suffer from a lack of motivation at the best of times and when it comes to a deteriorating health problem such as my obesity the call to action takes a steep backseat to the easier mentality of "keep calm and carry on" you wayward dumbass. I always thought it was a ME problem and me problem only but that notion has been blown to smithereens this very morning. Today I very unceremoniously and ungracefully plopped out of bed at the sound of a maniacal ceiling fan, a spark spitting wall outlet, an eau de burning toilette eminating from a mysterious source, and the pièce de résistance of a large bang outside the house. I figured something was wrong (I am very astute). Here's where the problem lay. My first inclination was to jump out of bed and find the source of this commotion but a second thought soon overcame even that most logical of a first step. I wanted to check on my family and see if they're alright. Everyone is currently hunkering down because of the other major and not localized to me only problem and therefore all siblings, parents, et al are home. I sleep alone in one part of the house and everyone else is located either upstairs or further away from my room. I figured they might not have even heard the loud but muffled bang because it definitely came from outside and from my side of the house. So I'd like to tell you that I donned my cape and rushed out to gather my family and hold them in my arms consoling and comforting them as I allay any fears they may have had. But I did not do that folks. My first thought in an unknown and potentially dangerous situation was....layering. I sleep in boxers and a t-shirt (I'll try to sound less sexy as I go on) and it is not a pretty sight first thing in the morning. Folds all asunder and modesty barely intact behind a thin veneer of decades old boxers you wouldn't want to come in on this picture of health and beauty at my most vulnerable. Knowing full well that I do not know the extent of damage (if any) or more importantly the wellbeing of my loved ones I proceeded to panic dress-up. Cue Benny Hill Yakety Sax in your mind reader as you picture the absolute car crash scene of me trying desperately to find an appropriate amount of clothing to put upon myself so I can actually go out in public with this shameful carcass I lug around. Bottom half covered and sorted I could not find an appropriate shirt because it's laundry day and of course I only have a handful of shirts I feel comfortable in to present myself and yes all of them are in washing. I had to go in to my stash of unmentionables. The ones that are just a bit too tight or too short or too hug-my-lovehandles-too-vigoursly. I tried on three shirts before I ran out. Three. I could walk out in a custom Armani suit and first thing you'd notice about me is my heftness (to use a kind word). No amount of layering is bending time and space around me to make me look slim let alone good. But since I believe layering and piling on clothes to be an active solution to my problem I could not bring myself to go out bearing it all with what little I had on. Not because of modesty or prudeness of my family because I'm sure they wouldn't criticise my fashion choices as I save them from a burning building. No, it was because I was ashamed of myself and the way I look and what I am. I wish I could say I only wasted a few seconds but it must have taken a good minute or two for me to get all dolled up in order to run out as a functioning human being. A minute or two wasted and deadly had there been an actual emergency. Oh by the way it was a burst transformer a little ways away from us and everyone else slept through it. I just had a surge protector in my room fry in course of doing it's job. All is well on that front. Once I did run out I checked all the rooms, appliances, fuses etc because as you might have guessed I'm wee bit a worrier but thankfully all was fine. As I went back to bed I could not shake the feeling of pity and anger at myself for the whole ordeal. Wasting precious time to put on clothes to hide my belly from people who see you every single day and could pick you out of an audio lineup based solely on that one wheezing sound you make on the purposefully rare occasions when God forbid you have to run up a few flights of stairs. I'm ashamed of myself but also amused (in hindsight) at the ridiculousness of it all. I think I found my motivation to lose it y'all. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2020 09:42 AM PDT Hey guys! I hit a big milestone for me today and none of my friends really care so I thought I would post here! I am 23F 5'6", SW: 182 CW: 165 GW: 145. I gained a lot of weight when I got severely injured and couldn't walk really for almost 2 years. My diet alone could not combat the sedentary lifestyle I had been forced into. Obesity is common in females in my family and I have always been told once you gain weight, you can't lose it! After three and a half months of working out and learning what type of diets/eating habits work for me, when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw I had lost just over 15lbs I was ecstatic! 8 months ago I thought I wouldn't be able to walk without an aid ever again, and that I would continually gain weight for the rest of my life. I know that 15lbs isn't even a lot, but it feels like a really big deal for me as I am about halfway to my goal :) thanks for listening to my rambles! [link] [comments] |
| At what point does skin become too saggy to fix at home? Posted: 21 Apr 2020 10:09 PM PDT I'm nowhere near my long-term goal and about 20 pounds from my short-term goal, so this isn't an immediate concern. However, I know I could easily go down another pants size if it weren't for all the excess skin I have everywhere. The problem is I think I might be beyond the point where exercise could tone the skin back up, which is discouraging because there's no way I could afford surgery to remove that extra skin. I've been doing squats every day for months in an effort to tone my butt, and while I think I have more leg strength, everything out back still feels the same. Just kinda sucks because even if/when I reach my target weight, I won't even be able to enjoy a better looking body. I realize that the more important thing is my health, but I just wish I didn't have an apron gut. [link] [comments] |

| I hated exercising, until I bought a weighted hula hoop! Posted: 22 Apr 2020 01:36 AM PDT So I've been super lucky, and I was able to lose about 38 pounds over the course of 4 months, just from eating healthy. I surprisingly lost all that weight, without any exercise. I HATE exercising. Honestly I get so bored and just don't have the attention span for it. I surf and skate a few times a month, but thats really the extent of it. My goal is to lose about 10 more pounds, but since I hit a plateau and just eating healthy wasn't gonna cut it anymore, I decided it was finally time to add some psychical activity into my daily schedule. I had a few guidelines tho... I wanted to be able to do it from home and I wanted it to be fun, so it wouldn't really feel like exercising. So earlier this week, I bought a weighted hula hoop and I've been doing it everyday! I was never good at hula hooping growing up, but the 3lbs of weight on it really helps me to keep it going. I go for about ten minutes at a time, a few times a day. At the end of each day, I can feel the burn in my calves and my abs. I have friends who rave about weighted hula hoops and how much weight/inches they've lost from doing it everyday, so I thought Id finally give it a try, and I totally get the hype! Enjoy this extremely awkward IG video of me using my weighted hula hoop: [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Apr 2020 01:16 AM PDT My family has never owned a scale before, don't ask me why because I don't know. Today we picked one up at grocery outlet since it was cheap and I finally weighed myself. I weigh 78 KG or 171 LBS which made me really kinda depressed. I've been doing IF for awhile now, even to an unhealthy degree, and last time I weighed myself (at the doc) was about half a year ago and I weighed close to 200 LBS. Well I'm glad I lost 30 LBS but it's not enough. I plan on taking IF to much more extremes than I have before. I suck in my stomach and wear a jacket so nobody even knows I'm this heavy. I hide it very well. Below are examples. I'm hoping to be average weight by summer. Thanks for the support in advance [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 22 Apr 2020 02:03 AM PDT 5ft8 22F 90kg>65kg I was always a chunky kid then a chunky teen, then when I moved to university I got a job in fast food and my weight gain accelerated. My highest weight that I measured was 90kg but I think I weighed far more than that previously as I had already started my weight loss when I weighed myself. I lost the weight really gradually in 3 short bursts over 2 years through calorie counting and walking. Flash forward to yesterday. I'm self isolating with my best friend of 10 years and her partner, and we were hanging out talking when she said she wanted to buy some new jeans but she wasn't sure what kind, and she wanted to try mom jeans. So I handed her my new jeans and was like you can try these if you want. She's always been my skinny friend for as long as we've been friends. My new jeans are a UK 10 (US 6 I think) and a waist 28 which had been my goal for months, however I was feeling very insecure and bulky yesterday. Well my friend put on my jeans and she seemed to be struggling with them, and she managed to get them on but she was like god these are a bit tight. It was the weirdest thing ever, this is a woman who has been slimmer than me my whole life, and now we're the same size?? I have a smaller waist even? It's insane. Anyway I just thought I'd share this as a non scale victory which has made me realise how much my body has changed even if I feel like the same 90kg woman I was two years ago. Healthy lifestyle changes and overcoming a bingeing problem have really changed my life. Thanks for reading :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2020 02:21 PM PDT A week before this Quarantine kicked off I finally got the courage to join a gym! Then of course the quarantine happened and gyms closed. I was discouraged and very down about this because I was so excited to finally start my weight loss journey. Fast forward to 2 weeks later it's finally warm enough to swim in our new pool at my house! At first it just started out as swimming but yesterday I noticed in the mirror that some of my clothes are fitting looser and my hips and calves are slimming down! Now I've got rejuvenated motivation and will be using swimming as a substitute until I can get to the gym. I just wanted to share my progress and encouragement with others that a little activity every day can help you find motivation over time. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2020 09:10 PM PDT Hi, I started counting calories recently. 20 year old male, 183cm/6'0 ft tall, 185lbs, I'd normally eat about 2600-3000 calories a day meaning I eat a lot but usually balanced it out with training as I was a former student athlete. Now though without training I figured I could lose bodyfat through light home workout and a caloric deficit. For the past two weeks I've been keeping my consumption to under 2000 calories and noticed some minor changes in my appearance. Three days ago I set my limit to 1800 and today I decided to go down to 1600. Is there any advice you guys could give me because this is my first experience with serious dieting. Am I going too low? Should I be keeping track of anything else like my macros? (I'm sticking to mostly protein with light carbs) Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2020 10:33 PM PDT I've been telling myself for quite a while now that I wanna lose weight. That's the problem though, I only tell myself and then do nothing. How did you convince yourself to finally get off of your a** and just do something about your weight? I have reasons I want to be thinner but by the time I get home I convince myself I'm too busy. I have homework or I'm tired from waking up early for work or maybe I just didn't sleep well the night before. I really need to step up and stop messing around. Please give me some advice. Also If you know good places to find healthy recipes link those for me as well please and thank you! [link] [comments] |
| M/15/6"1 Need advice on toning body after already losing weight Posted: 22 Apr 2020 12:35 AM PDT
However, despite having a comfortably healthy BMI, I still appear a bit fat in the mirror due to having very low muscle mass. Should i also be doing the Couch to 5K program to lose extra fat from my stomach? I've heard that it is beneficial in losing fat, but again, due to my BMI, I was unsure if it would be worth it. Any advice on how to gain muscle? I was unable to do pushups but I can now do 3 max in one set. I am struggling with increasing this number, even though I do stair pushups and negative pushups. I'm happy that I've done my first pushup, but my objective is to reach around 20 pushups in a set - so it's a bit frustrating when I lower to the ground after 2 or 3. I'm not looking for someone to completely redesign my possibly crappy home workouts - I'd just appreciate if anyone can give me some quick pointers on what I could do better. [link] [comments] |
