| Posted: 02 May 2020 10:37 AM PDT Yesterday morning at weigh in I am down 101 lbs. from my heaviest!💪 Still have more to lose to hit my ultimate goal. But that is a massive weight loss milestone I never imagined possible. I haven't seen this number on a scale since sophomore year high school! I am probably down way more, because for a lot of years I maxed out scales. I am so freaking pumped right now had to share guys!! I still have 20 lbs. to lose to hit my ultimate goal. Been working at it since January 2018. You know the best part of this whole journey? I know I'll get there. Not claiming its easy or anything. Far from it. I have just changed habits & lifestyle. The terrible eating habits for 32 years that got me to 310+ lbs. are never happening again. Even if I eat like that for just a meal. I feel horrible, and my body is PISSED. It really is crazy. Now whenever deciding what to eat, and someone suggests Chinese or whatever. All I'm thinking is: "That doesn't even sound good. You know what would hit the spot now? A bomb salad!" Exercise is life too. Every day I have to move & sweat! Mostly in the gym (pre COVID), but I have to exercise some way daily. If I don't, just like with eating, I feel terrible. I don't sleep right, don't think right, I don't move the same, just everything is off. It is really cool & so different than the majority of my life. Anyway I've already wrote way more than I expected. I am just feeling so great right now; I wanted to share my joy!! Because weight loss is a very solitary journey. Sure people will notice & comment on your progress. Those moments are great & help keep motivation. But weight loss is about the day to day, moment to moment. When it's just you & your will power vs. your demons & old habits. Winning in those moments is how to become a triple digit loser!!! P.S. I would be more than happy to share some of my strategies & methods for weight loss. If anyone is interested. Comment or pm & I'll add an edit. Thanks so much for reading my chronicle.

| Posted: 02 May 2020 08:28 PM PDT I've struggled with being ever so slightly overweight for almost half of my life, and today, I checked my BMI and my weight is classified as "normal"!!! I'm not at my goal weight yet, but I'm finally at a place where I'm not scared to look at the mirror or take photos of myself. I just do CICO and IF, plus 15 minutes of yoga everyday :) It's surprisingly easy once you get into it. One tip I saw on here that really resonated with me was to count VERY small wins. e.g. if your goal weight is 120 and you're at 150, make it your next goal to be 149. This is honestly what made weight loss such an exciting experience for me because even seeing a 149.5 would excite me as I'm halfway to my "goal". Instead of seeing it as losing 30 pounds, I'd view it as losing 1 pound 30 times. Just wanted to share this small win and tip because I'm very happy and extremely grateful for this sub!

| Posted: 02 May 2020 12:35 PM PDT I've been eating healthy for the last 8 months. I don't like using the word "diet" because I wanted to make a complete lifestyle change that will benefit me forever rather then just lose the weight. I've had a pair of pants for my entire adult life. They were a gift for Christmas from an aunt who didn't realize how much weight I had gained. At my heaviest (280) I could barely get them over my butt. I have lost 60 pounds and I tried them on for the first time. I figured I could probably get them to fit now but my mouth literally hit the floor when They were baggy on me. I wear basketball shorts most days as its always hard to find pants that fit my body being so tall and awkwardly chunky. Since I'm so tall my body stores fat weird I guess. People would have been shocked if I told them I was almost 300 pounds because of how I store fat...If that makes sense. As a dude I had no idea I had lost so much weight in that area of my body. I guess I just noticed my double chin going away and my gut going down. Most of my friends are in good shape so I didn't really have anyone to share this with that would understand how good that felt so I made a Reddit account to share with strangers. Anyways was just a cool moment for me. I think it was so much more satisfying because I haven't been obsessed about "dieting" and "losing weight" but more focused on just being healthy(I checked the scale every 2 months or so). Thanks for reading. Have a good day [link] [comments] |
| Fat logic - The myth of losing muscle while you’re losing fat Posted: 03 May 2020 12:06 AM PDT My sister (who lost a lot of weight a couple of years ago before I started my journey) recommend me the best book I ever read on weight loss. It's called "Fat logic" and written by a psychologist that herself came from an obese family and weighted 150kg. She struggled with the yo-yo effect, diagnosed hypothyroidism and generally a bigger build and it lead her to accept that she would need to suffer hunger all the time when she's skinny as that's her genetics and she decided to live a happy life, eating healthy but how much she wanted. Until she fell down and injured her knee. Then her meniscus and she basically became immobile. This is when she decided to lose weight and used her academic approach to read through all the studies and truly understand weight loss for the first time. She quickly realised more information out there is bullshit but as it's widely accepted and gives people a reason to believe being obese isn't their fault no one (including herself before) really questioned it. She called these false facts "fat logic" and she uses science and her own experience to debunk them. I read it in German, so might sound iffy when I say it but thought I share one that comes up often here in this thread too: Losing muscle because of losing fat is a myth and unfortunately a wide spread one. Losing fat has actually NOTHING to do with losing muscle. It's two separate systems for your body. She gave the example of a cave men. If he'd be unable to go running / hunting because of using his winter fat for energy he'd probably die. There are only two reasons why your body would reduces muscle mass:
She went in to give her personal example. When she became immobile she decided to lose weight quick to release pressure from her body. She did that on a 500 calorie diet for 6 months. Which comes to another myth "eating less than XX calories is bad for you". But please don't take this out of context because what you need to do is get the nutrients your body needs and can't produce itself. Mainly protein, vitamins and some fats. She consulted a special dietician that gave her that mixture and did monthly blood tests to measure any potential deficiencies. It's still mind blowing to me. She gave academic examples of 200kg people that lost 130kg in a year basically by eating nothing but their required nutrients (in an hospital environment). As long as your body has enough fat to use as energy you don't need to eat anything for energy. I hope you guys found it as interesting as me. It certainly gave me a lot of new perspectives.

| Treating the Parents to Tackle Child Obesity Posted: 03 May 2020 12:03 AM PDT I know this is a sub for people who want to lose weight themselves (and it has helped me a lot) but I believe some might be interested in this study that just came out. The main take-away is that for children suffering from obesity, it was almost 5 times more effective to only support the parents throught group treatment (10 weeks, 1.5hrs/week) containing discussions, both of healthy food choices but also general parenting techniques, and support thorugh phone conversations every 4-6 weeks for 9 months after group treatment, compared to the current standard treatment for child obesity in Sweden (individual treatment 4 times per year focused on lifestyle advice with pediatrician or pediatric nurse). I wanted to post this here so that if a parent ever comes looking for material to help their child, they should be able to find it in this sub as well. From the study, one of the main things seem to be that you, as parents, have a support network so that you are able to institute good changes and stick to them afterwards. HERE is the link to the study itself. Wishing all of you well, both on your journeys and in general! [link] [comments] |
| I'm doing it! After 44 days I hit my scale's maximum of 150kg! Posted: 02 May 2020 01:03 PM PDT TL;DR in bold. I started dieting after I woke up in panic that I was afraid I wasn't gonna fit my wedding suit this 15th of may, and my aim was 8 kg at least. I finally had the right motivation. I've been doing really well I thought, but I couldn't measure it. I'm trying to eat between 1400 and 1800 kcal (I go over sometimes, and my max cheatday has been 2400 and that was difficult to reach), down from 4000-5000kcal, writing down everything I eat and drink. My favorite snack was nachos and I had those almost daily, but one bag was 1500kcal (300gr)... It's crazy how key perception is. It went from a snack to my entire daily intake. I've been feeling great since the first week, and put a mirror in front of the shower just to remind me why I'm doing it. Seeing myself hurts, but also reminds me why I'm doing it. My TDEE is/was about 3100kcal, and probably went down aswell. But that's like 1300kcal difference a day. That means I must've lost 8kg. Last year I was measured at 158kg, so that seems about right. Cus today it finally happened! It said 150.5! After weeks of --,--! I still eat junk, cus I need those joys in life, but if I buy chips, I split it up in baggies of 30gr and write down the kcal of it. [link] [comments] |
| 50+lbs Lost / 22M 5'10/ [220 -> 168.6] / SV / NSV / Goal Reached / Birthday -- Thank You r/loseit Posted: 02 May 2020 02:05 PM PDT Dear r/loseit Thank you so much for all that you have given me. General lurker, but wanted to provide this community an update on my journey. Please feel free to PM me for any questions, comments, or just want to chat about my/your journey! (PICS below) September 4th, 2019, I stepped on the scale and it read 220.8lbs. Today I weighed in at 168.6lbs! I feel amazing, have confidence through the roof, and am fitting into clothes I never would have imagined! Today also happens to be my Birthday! I almost cried on the scale this morning when I saw myself break 50lbs. Who would have thought my weight loss goal would have lined up with that? Truly crazy! Pics: https://imgur.com/a/luORyPL I will keep this short and provide a couple of takeaways and tips that worked well for me:
Be patient and consistent. Quarantine sucks but it is a great opportunity to jump-start (or continue) your journey. Thank you again to this community. You all are amazing! Godspeed [link] [comments] |
| From 340lbs in January 2020 to 320lbs in May... Posted: 02 May 2020 02:24 PM PDT Hello. I am a 5'10 M, 16yo currently weighing 320lbs. I'm trying to change my ways and it is working somewhat successfully. My heavy weight is due to bad diet habits set in childhood but I'm not a young child anymore so I'm working to rehab myself. Everything was going okay until around March. I was eating better and exercising for about 8 hours a week. Then March hit and I became really depressed and stopped exercising. I somehow managed to control my eating so I didn't gain any weight back, but it still sucks. I've lost motivation for school, exercising, everything really. I didn't do the online schooling almost students have to do in April because I was in a rut. I know this isn't strictly weight loss related but it does impact it. I'm pretty sure I have chronic depression now, but I don't know how to break it to my guardian (sister) so I can go talk to a therapist. Over the past two years I've lost both of my parents, had to move homes, and dealt with the teenage stressor known as high school. I just feel down in cycles and it is impacting my social and family life, and now my education. I just would like advice on this because I really have no clue on how to move forward.

| Getting rid of a “goal date” and focusing on the day-by-day! Posted: 02 May 2020 09:12 PM PDT Over the past few weeks, I realized that mentally it's better for me to take things day by day instead of focusing on "this weight by this date". I use to obsessively check this weight prediction table website (https://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php) to see if I'd reach X goal by X date. My personal example: high school graduation and 18th birthday this summer. My goal weight was mostly for the aesthetics, but now that I'm 7 pounds away, I realize that I've reached an aesthetic that I'm confident with! (Also the aesthetic I wanted for cute pictures haha) I'm still plugging away to 120 (or below) though, so I've decided recently that I'm going to eat at a smaller deficit that's closer to maintenance. Sure, the loss will be slower and sure I won't be exactly 120 by my birthday, but I'm happy where I am right now, so I'm willing to take things a bit slower in these next few months. I know a lot of people have "goal dates" in mind, weddings for example, but I think having no real deadline makes the transition from unhealthy habits to "this is the way I'll be for the rest of my life" a lot easier! This is because it becomes less of a diet and more of a lifestyle change. Huge mindset difference! I can already tell that I'm mindfully choosing healthier meals and smaller portion sizes. Soon, this'll become natural and I'll be able to carry on healthy habits once I reach my goal weight! Slow and steady wins the race...heck yeah!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 May 2020 08:07 PM PDT I'm a 19 y/o female, approx 5'1". I started my diet on February 1st at 188 lbs and just two days ago I hit a new low of 139. I work out for about 1-1.5 hrs a day. My goal is around 115-ish. My trouble isn't with losing the weight, I'm doing that fine. It's the way I'm going about it. I'm not eating enough (450-600 cal/day) and overworking out some days. I feel physically ill when I eat more than that and then end up having a mental breakdown about it because I feel disgusting. There are other things but I dont want to get into it because I know I shouldn't be going about it this way, but it's working so I don't want to stop until I hit my goal. I just really don't know what to do lol. I'm scared that once I hit my goal, I'm going to end up gaining it back because of how I went about losing it and I'm scared that if I try to start eating normally again now, I'll never hit my goal in time because I'm trying to lose it all before around July/August, which is when I'm supposed to fly out to see my boyfriend.

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 2 Posted: 02 May 2020 01:23 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy day two, I hope your Saturday has been lovely! Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): I shall face the scale on Monday my friends. Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): 1550 ish planned. Lazy salsa chicken in the crock pot for dinner. I owe this progress to myself, no ifs, ands or buts. Exercise 5 days a week: Vigorous cleaning. 1/2 days. Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing 0/2 days): More onerous adulting & now, grand theft pony time. Try a new recipe once a week: I think I'll be making a new seasoning profile of roast chick peas either today or tomorrow. 1/5 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Not today. X/50 pages. No fast food, candy from the work dish or Starbucks: Check. Easy because of no work candy bowl today. 2 day(s). Listen to my effing body: My eyeball is hurty. I didn't snack & instead had a protein heavy, tasty lunch. Dinner will also be protein heavy & lots of veg to get my cravings & stomach to shut up about it already. Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: Today started in a hard place. I'm not a fan of this time of year in some ways & I took a moment to remember why & that it is okay to validate the past shit. It makes it easier to set the baggage down if you acknowledge you're carrying it in the first place, you know kids? Your turn! [link] [comments] |
| Accountability post of my second week of calorie tracking with MyFitnessPal Posted: 03 May 2020 12:57 AM PDT This is a repost from r/WeighLossAdvice. I figured it might be more suitable to this subreddit. So for two weeks I am using MyFitnessPal. The first week I didn't manage to get an overall calorie deficit and whenever I had a day-deficit I binged the next day. So I tried to take my learnings from it by aiming for a smaller day deficit and under all circumstances staying below my TDEE. So the second week went better! - I managed to keep track on what I eat for two weeks, for the first time in my life. Usually I can only keep to my calorie tracking goals for a few days and if I binge I suddenly loose motivation. - I never went over my TDEE. - On five out of seven days I had a deficit between 200 and 500 calories. So it might not be huge. But this week I feel I have taken one more step towards a healthier lifestyle and long term weight loss. I don't have a proper scale and with my tiny deficit it would also be hard to notice it on the scale. But I was told that my face already looks less blown up! [link] [comments] |
| i’m a 23F, hate my body and my weight just wont drop. what am i doing wrong? Posted: 02 May 2020 10:43 PM PDT hi guys. so like the title says i'm 23, 5'3" and i've gained a lot of weight in the last few years throughout college. i got sick of hating and being self conscious of my body so i decided i would put my mind to losing weight this year. i started at 208 lbs in january and i've lost about 13 pounds so far, putting me at 195. but for the past month, my weight just WONT drop. i literally do everything in my power, and have been doing so relatively consistently for months. i count my calories, i exercise 5-7 times a week, i drink tons of water, i try to avoid sugary/junk foods (although i will give in once in a while), i get plenty of sleep. i've been fasting for ramadan and i thought that would help me lose weight because we have breakfast at 5 AM and then eat/drink nothing until 8 PM. so my calories have been extra low and i still work out (albeit a little less vigorously).but still, my weight hasn't BUDGED meanwhile my mom and brother have already lost 3-5 pounds. i'm so discouraged that i'm so young and it's so hard to lose weight, when everyone else seems to be able to do it right. so many people keep telling me "just lose some more and you will be so stunning!! you have such a pretty face underneath" and it hurts so much because they don't realize how hard i'm trying. idk what to do. i've been a long time lurker and i really love this community, i'm hoping you guys can help!

| Almost 200 pounds 16 year old male Posted: 02 May 2020 06:34 PM PDT Hi everyone, this is my first time participating in this sub, like title says I am almost 200 pounds and only 16 years old, currently with quarantine it has cut me out of my hockey and the gym that I was starting to go to. I have now gained 10-20 pounds being at home during quarantine and I need help. When I am bored I eat, when I see something good I eat, when it's dinner I eat, only time I don't eat is breakfast and lunch. I have space to do workouts but I have not found any motivation to do any and I am struggling a lot right now, struggling to find the motivation to do anything other than sleep and stay in bed. Thanks to all that read and please respond with any help that you could give me it would mean the world to me! Edit: I also just started a job working in a grocery store in my town and work every second day for about 6 hours [link] [comments] |
| A lack of food (aka dieting) makes me feel unsafe Posted: 02 May 2020 12:40 PM PDT I feel kinda dumb saying all this, but I have seen this community be really supportive in the past so here goes. Growing up, I lived in an abusive household. My mom was doing the best she could, but my dad made life miserable and I saw emotional eating modeled as a coping mechanism. Food also became the only thing that made me feel safe. Everything else was shit, but Oreos would still taste good and make me feel better, ya know? Add to that, I was sexually assaulted 5 years ago (when I was still a little overweight but much smaller than I am now) and being seen again as "desirable" to men as sent me into a panic attack before. I am talking to my counselor about all these things, but I just feel like this is a constant uphill battle and it is SO frustrating when I see messages of "you need to be more disciplined" or "make sure you portion control and weigh your food". I'm really happy that advice has worked for people, but I know those things. I am a very disciplined person and I own a food scale and I know how big portions are. But trying to lose weight when dieting literally makes me feel unsafe and extremely anxious feels impossible. The problem for me with dieting is not that I lack self-control and want to keep eating my favorite foods, but rather that I am fighting my mind's notion that food equals security. Truthfully, though I wouldn't admit this to anyone in person, I don't believe I will ever lose the weight. It feels like as hard as I try, my effort will never be enough to overcome these obstacles. To be clear, I am NOT trying to play the victim here. I know people with a lot worse life experiences than me have been able to successfully lose weight and have a healthy relationship with food. I really hope that I can get there some day. I am doing everything I can. I'm hoping that other people here will understand how hard this is and can empathize. [link] [comments] |
| For anyone struggling with anxiety when they run... Posted: 02 May 2020 02:51 PM PDT ...anxiety, low self-esteem, zero confidence; these have plagued me for years. In fact, it was the reason I never went running even though I desperately wanted to pick it up. I was too scared. I was worried what people would think of me when they saw me outside. That sounds like an excuse, but this was a genuine fear for ages. People used to tell me that it was all in my head (which is true, NOBODY but the rare lowlife cares how you run and what you look like running. Do you look at a runner and judge them? No!) but for people with social anxiety, it doesn't matter. If you are feeling like this, then NOW is your chance to get out there running. I started the couch-to-5k program a month ago after the UK lockdown came into effect (daily exercise was permitted) knowing that there would be almost zero people out in the late evening AND I was never going to get a better opportunity to go running and defeat my whole anxiety about it at the same time. Well, I am now about to start Week 5 and I have never felt better. I am so concentrated on my run that I barely notice if I pass someone. If you live in a country where daily exercise is permitted under lockdown, and felt how I felt, then take this opportunity like I did. You won't regret it. There are obviously no upsides to a global pandemic like this, but it could be an opportunity to improve and look after yourself. Stay safe, stay well. Hope this helps any lurkers struggling with what I struggled with. Just remember to keep your distance from other pedestrians, and don't go if you feel unwell or your lockdown rules don't permit it.

| Feeling a little conflicted about keto. Any experiences here? Posted: 02 May 2020 11:57 PM PDT I've been doing a lazy version of keto for about ten days now - LifeSums easy ketogenic program, to be precise, which allows for a maximum of 100g carbs/day. I usually end up staying under 50g though. Pretty sure I'm in ketosis now. On the one hand, I love not having to count calories as strictly, and I'm way less hungry than I was on plain CICO. Because of medication that makes it hard to lose weight I have to stay on a very strict deficit, and that's tough to do in my experience with a relatively high carb diet. Very consistent tracking also makes me nervous. It also obviously works. I'm aware part of it is water weight, but I am losing consistently, at a healthy rate. I also really like that I can eat more of the foods I actually like. The good parts of a meal are after all the veg and protein (to me at least). On the other hand, I made cauliflower crust pizza last night and realised halfway through that I don't want to become the type of person that only eats vegetable crust pizza and cheese. That doesn't feel like the way to go for someone like me, who honestly loves investing a lot of time in cooking, and has developed amazing recipes for yeast-based dough. So, I was wondering if anyone on (any type of) low carb diet has any advice for me, or just experiences in general. Did you feel like you missed out a lot? How do you feel about carby cheat meals?

| looking for help on counting calories, and tips for my road to a six-pack Posted: 02 May 2020 11:26 PM PDT [backround] hi, there I am a 15-year-old boy who has been working out on and off for the past couple of years. since we're all in quarantine I've decided to finally push for that six-pack. I'm still a bit away but I'm willing to put in the time and effort. I'm currently 5'4" and 128lbs [diet] I know that diet is the most important part, so I'm looking for tips on what foods to eat and what to avoid. I've also looked into counting calories to get into a caloric deficit, however, I never understood how to do it properly. it's currently Ramadan ( a Muslim holiday were we fast each day from sunset to sundown for a month) so I'm currently intermittent fasting with the exception of water. I would really appreciate it if someone could teach me how to properly count calories, and what foods to eat. [workout] I understand that working out is also crucial. my current workout is the following. I split a deck of cards into four stacks(spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs). after 30 minutes in my room, I draw one card from each stack and do the reps of the number I draw. face cards are worth 10 reps, and aces are worth the max reps I can do. every hour I do a one minute plank. is it better to set a time and do sets of my workout like I normally do, or is what I'm doing now fine? note- I plan on drawing more cards and doing sets as I get better.

| F/5’1 (150lb->145.6lb) (156cm, 68kg->66kg ) since the lockdown started Posted: 02 May 2020 07:53 AM PDT Honestly I don't see much difference, but it is nice seeing the numbers on the scale change. I set out planning to lose more, and was extremely restrictive with my diet, eating 1200 cal and low carb like I used to in highschool for wrestling and I felt really low on energy and started feeling kind of sick two weeks in. So I stopped that and tried to pick up something maintainable. Wasn't seeing numbers change at all during this, but I think it was a good reset for sure. Now I loosely aim for 1200-1300 and not anymore than 1500 not counting, but I portion my meals and eat until I'm full and eat when I'm hungry and it's been great. I've stayed active throughout and am enjoying finding new ways to be active during this. This feels like a lifestyle change instead of a quick diet which I really like that. https://imgur.com/gallery/bAds4ul [link] [comments] |
| High volume low calorie food make me scared Posted: 02 May 2020 12:45 PM PDT So since I've been bored and finding it hard to not eat more during quarantine I've started to make very high volume low calorie food for example I would put 1 frozen banana with a scoop of chocolate powder and stevia and tons of water and ice which will make me a huge smoothie that I'll struggle to finish. Almost painful to drink it all. In my head this is so good to be true can I really eat all of this still lose weight? The same situation with the veggie soup that I would make for myself to satisfy my hunger and huge appetite. Even though I count the calorie and I know that I did not exceed my daily calorie the fact that I feel very very full is kind of scaring me. Does anyone feel the same ? Is it really ok to feel very full and not gain weight? because I feel like I'm cheating. [link] [comments] |
| How to lose weight with an eating disorder? TW: restricting/binging Posted: 02 May 2020 10:49 PM PDT So I was a fat kid. As a young teenager, I started heavily restricted and got thin for the first time in my life. I even occasionally purged. I'm still mentally stuck in the viscous cycle of binge/restrict. But I am clinically obese now as a 22 year old. and I NEED to lose weight to have a longer, healthier life. But how can I do this without calorie counting and weighing myself regularly? Doing those things lead to not eating for 48 hours, and then finding myself elbows deep in a medium pizza and a box of candy after I FINALLY give in and eat. I feel extreme guilt around eating, but I cannot stop. And weighing myself only makes me want to die. That's not an exaggeration. But yet eating is the only pleasure I have in life a lot of the time. If anyone has any thoughts, experiences, advice on this topic, I am all ears. [link] [comments] |
