| From 450lbs to 170lbs in 3 years. Imagine where you can be 3 years from now! Posted: 01 Jun 2020 08:34 AM PDT Exactly 3 years ago, my extreme weight loss transformation began and now it has finally come to an end. I don't mean that I won't still be exercising everyday and eating right, but for the first time I feel like I don't need to lose weight anymore. It is an incredible feeling and I hope that every single person in the sub gets to feel this way someday. And I know you can if you put your mind to it. This sub has been an incredible inspiration to me throughout my journey so I just wanted to give back and hopefully inspire others. I started with small changes to my diet, like removing fast food, and just kept eating less and less as my weight dropped. I went from drinking soda, to low calorie lemonade, to just water. As I lost weight, I began to eat healthier and healthier. Quarantine has improved my diet substantially as I have had more time to cook. I make eggs in the morning followed by fruit for a snack. I have chicken, tuna, veggies, and a protein shake for lunch. For dinner I have chicken and veggies again. I have peanut butter and casein before bed. I like to have one cheat meal and lots of health snacks on the weekend. Halo Top ice cream is a lifesaver. I have never really tracked my calories, but I am always mindful of how much I am eating. I weigh myself ever morning. When I started I would walk a lot, 2-3 hours on workdays and 5-8 hours a day on the weekends. I eventually transitioned to running and now I run 10-15 miles a day usually, even more on the weekends. I run at a slow leisurely pace and enjoy podcasts everyday. It is my version of sitting around watching TV. It sounds like a lot, but it doesn't feel that way. My gym just finally reopened so I started weight lifting again this morning. I am hoping to pack on a little bit of muscle, but mostly just to maintain my weight loss. I would like to stay under 180 but I am not afraid of gaining a little bit in the winter. It is more about sustainability than staying at a certain weight. I am happy to answer any questions, and I just want you to know that I may seem like the exception, but I am not. I believe that all of us can achieve our goals if we work hard and keep fighting for them everyday. If you fall down, get back up. You are in control. You can do this. Where will you be in 3 years?

| Posted: 01 Jun 2020 11:12 PM PDT F 26, 5'4" SW:242 CW: 238 GW: healthy I gained about 100 pounds in 2 years from severe depression. Bed sores won't leave my room type depression. The journey to even start losing weight has been an uphill battle. I was diagnosed with a binge eating disorder late last year. I have good insurance and still couldn't afford treatment so I'm navigating it alone. I still binge. I still eat crappy food emotionally. But I said enough and started being active. Being active feels like an easier first step (emotionally speaking). 3 weeks ago I was out of breath after .5 mile. I kept walking, adding .25 or more if I could each time. Within 2 weeks I walked 25 miles — my minimum now being 3 miles at a time, max so far has been 6. 3 I'm tired but feel good, 6 my feet ache but I rest a little If needed half way. Lost a few pounds but not much because of my eating habits which I need to tackle next. Anyways. Just wanna day thanks to this sub. I know I'm just starting, but I have a long road and these posts keep reminding me the small choices will one day add up. Also I forgot how good it feels to be active. Here's to not quitting.

| A nice little tip to trick your mind Posted: 01 Jun 2020 04:02 PM PDT M 22 270lb/6'3 I started with the plan to lose weight a year ago, i was at my heaviest then, around 320lb. So i just said enough, got sick of being depressed, and started losing weight. I thought i would have to struggle with my growling stomach or people around me offering me food, but the biggest struggle was with my brain telling me 'eat it, it looks so delicious, eat it, come on, it will be the last thing you will eat today, you won't go over your caloric limit'. And from time to time i would lose that battle, which made my weight loss really slow. I was losing weight tho, just not as fast as i wanted. So one day out of nowhere i decided to up the game. I made a system where i would need to walk 2500 steps to 'unlock' the ability to eat. Gotta say, that kind of a mind hack was a game changer. I literally lost 35lb in little less than 2 months.

| This pandemic has made me realize my excuses were horse shit Posted: 01 Jun 2020 05:21 PM PDT Il be 💯 with yall, im a fat ass piece of shit. I a 23M who's only 5'8 and 575 pounds (i weigh myself at my industrial scale at work). I used to have every excuse in the book as to why i was so heavy. Im a truck driver and a father of two beautiful kids (5 y/o boy and 2 y/o girl) and I always hid my excuses under my responsibilities. "I work 60 hours a week" "Im the breadwinner of the family-i deserve this burrito" Those were common things id say to justify my obesity....and this pandemic has made me realize that my excuses were in fact bull shit. With the stay-at-home stuff, alot of my construction projects were put on hold, so, iv been off-work (at home) for these past couple months. I had all the time in the world! and guess what i didnt do?!? exercise or eat right. My long hours arent the reason im fat, my family duties arent holding me back, its me, its all me and I hate that i have this problem. I know iv been down talking my self but i really think im a badass dude. Look, I knocked up my GF up at 18 and barely finished high school...but instead of washing out like a loser, i picked my self up, Saved up and started a successful trucking company and now im making 6 figures, with a smoking hot wife and two beautiful kids. Im succeeding as a man in almost every way but it feels like none of that matters because at the end of the day im almost 600 pounds...and worst of all, my son is obese himself. He's already in the 99th percentile for his age and its all my fault. He's 5 and he already weighs more than his mother. Im essentially giving him an instructional on how to be morbidly obese. Whats the good of all i accomplished if im too fat too see my kids graduate high school. What kind of man would i be if i say made my wife a widow at just 30?!? [link] [comments] |
| What I learned from two years of not losing weight Posted: 01 Jun 2020 07:45 AM PDT I joined Reddit exactly two years ago specifically for this sub. I'd never heard of the site, but I loved the idea of a positive community focused on weight loss. I committed then to losing the stubborn 50 or so lbs I'd gained in college. Here I am, two years later, and I'm basically at the same place I started. I've lost a bit and gained it back over and over, but I am so proud of myself for my progress over the last few years in so many other areas! I might not have lost weight, but I:
I could keep listing things, but I think the point is there. I may not have lost the weight, but my mindset to be healthier has carried over into so many aspects of my life and made me much happier. Also, I may not have lost any weight, but I did successfully stop gaining weight after steady scale increases for years! I'm happy, and although I still plan on trying to lose the weight (especially now that college is over), I think my weight loss journey over the last two years is a success even though the scale never changed.

| I had a realization this morning that made me feel really good! Posted: 01 Jun 2020 06:42 PM PDT Weight loss is usually a slow, tedious process; we all know this and we all are probably experiencing this right now. But this morning after weighing myself I logged my weight in my Libra app and just for shits and giggles I scrolled back to see when the last time was that I weighed the same. It was September of 2019. Why is this significant? It means that in 6 short weeks (I started losing weight April 22nd), I was able to lose 11 pounds and undo 7 months worth of eating too much and slowly gaining weight! Yes, weight loss is slow, but if you look at it a little differently, it can actually be quite fast too. It just took a little different perspective and now I'm feeling pretty proud of myself today!

| Posted: 01 Jun 2020 08:45 PM PDT Before Pics: taken between Nov 2018 and Dec 2018. I was 116 pounds (5'4"). After Pics: taken June 1, 2020. I'm 137 pounds (5'4"). I gained 21 pounds in 1.5 years and lost all of my coincidence in the progress. In October of 2018, something extremely traumatic happened and caused me to fall into depression. My depression led to a multitude of other problems. It didn't help that I was also really stressed at this time. I stopped socializing with friends, which meant I was moving about less and burning less calories. I also began stress eating and eating for comfort. When I started to notice a slight bit of weight gain, I panicked and attempted crash dieting, calorie restriction, etc. These methods never worked out and one failed diet would lead to the next. My diet attempts actually caused me to gain weight instead of lose weight. My relationship with food and my body soured. Eventually I developed bulimia and BED... I managed to overcome bulimia, but BED/restriction is still so so so hard to fight. Even though I keep failing to lose weight, I'm proud of myself for trying again each time. For some weird reason, I think I will finally succeed this time. The other night, I had a nightmare that it was the first day of college and we had to weigh ourselves in front of the entire class. I dreamt that I weighed over 200 pounds. I'm so afraid of starting college in the fall while looking like this. I don't want to interact with anyone when I'm this disgusting. That dream was a wake up call. I only have 3 months left so I really have to succeed this time. I felt so embarrassed recreating those old pictures today, but it's important to have progress pics to look back at later on. Last night, I didn't shower because I didn't want to look at my bloated body after a binge. I don't want to hate looking at myself anymore. I miss when I use to love myself and I miss when I use to eat food like a normal person. I truly feel like I'm going to succeed this time. When I do, I'll be back with after pictures. I promise!

| Lost 59 lbs and I'm finally in Onederland! Posted: 02 Jun 2020 12:34 AM PDT Started my weight loss half a year ago (December 2019) as morbidly obese at 5'6.5" and 117.4 kg (258-259 lbs) after a decade of crippling depression, anxiety, hormonal issues like hypothyroidism, binging, fasting and various fad diets. First I tackled my mental health through meditation, yoga and journalling after hitting the literal rock bottom and 99% of my fears becoming reality. Once the mental angle clicked and I lost most of my fears, sticking to a healthier lifestyle became a side effect and not a struggle. Now I'm finally in onederland! 199 lbs! And still going strong. I was going slow and steady, eating 500 kcal below my sedentary maintenance (ate 1500 kcal everyday, before that I tried 1200 but it wasn't sustainable) and finding a routine that worked for me activity wise, slowly building sustainable habits. My current routine is:
But at first I started with just beginner yoga videos, other habits I slowly added over time. Food wise I eat whatever I want as long as it fits into my 1500 kcal. Just wanted to share my lil sv with you all, let's keep at it and hopefully you all find a lifestyle and an approach to food that suits you personally. [link] [comments] |
| Lost 143lb from Mid June '19 to this morning - Also...FINALLY IN ONEDERLAND Posted: 01 Jun 2020 09:15 AM PDT It was a long journey from 340lb to 197lb. Ultimately, I'm going to keep cutting through the end of this month, then get a DEXA scan to see where I'm at... But from June 15th of 2019, I have been tracking, counting, and watching every calorie I stick in my body with the goal that I would be able to get under 200lb one day. And this month, I was finally able to do it. https://imgur.com/gallery/we9Fgjf Seeing the changes beyond just weight loss has been incredible, and I've been very blessed to have the body I do, and how well it's reacted to CICO. I know many others struggle with things beyond their control, and I was fortunate that I didn't have any health or other items to hinder weight loss. The plan is to keep cutting until July 1st, which I'll start my lean bulk to start putting on muscle in the right ways. With some luck and determination, I'll be able to achieve the body I've wanted my whole life... but only waited until 2019 to actually do something about it. Thank you all for all your help, motivation, and encouragement throughout this past year. I couldn't have done it with out. [link] [comments] |

| How I Lost 196.3 lbs in One Year Posted: 01 Jun 2020 01:35 PM PDT A year ago today, I started a journey to get my life on a better track. I had spent weeks researching various diets, exercises, and healthy living options. I had tried various diets before to moderate success, but nothing more than 60 lbs in a few months. I knew I needed real change. I decided to try strict keto, along with IF and OMAD. It's beyond shocking how well and how quickly it worked. I set a goal of 200 lbs in a year. A nearly impossible goal, but I wanted something hard to make me motivated. I set a meal plan for myself, which has been the same meal every day. When I first wake up, I eat a cheeseburger with bacon and mayo, 6 scrambled eggs, and 8-10 bottles on Water with Mio sport. I also don't eat on Saturdays/weekends depending on my mood. While I didn't hit my goal of 200 lbs, I was damn close. I was 365.9 lbs as of June 1st 2019. Today I am 169.6 lbs. I'm definitely disappointed that I couldn't hit my goal, but very proud of what I accomplished. To anyone starting keto, having a hard time with keto, or considering doing it. You can do this. I didn't do anything special, no pills, no crazy exercises, no surgeries. Just eating better, counting carbs, and keeping positive. One thing I did, to help cheating, was to just focus on today. Don't cheat today. Don't eat over your carbs today. Tomorrow is a different story, you can worry about that later. Just keep going today. I hope all of you are staying safe, and I wish you all the luck in the world. I added some pictures of me before and after I'm the link above [link] [comments] |
| SV - 50lbs down since January �� Posted: 01 Jun 2020 11:41 PM PDT Hey all. Long time lurker here. (41/M/5'11/216lbs) Always had an issue with food and my weight. It's been up and down but I've never lost more than a few lbs before putting it on again. After Christmas I decided I'd had enough. I was 266lbs (the heaviest I'd ever been) and I was fed up. I've experimented with soooo many 'diets' before - straight CICO ( I know this is the basis for all weight loss but hear me out), Keto, Slimming World, Weight Watchers etc, but I could never stick to anything. I sat down and looked at WHY I was fat and what caused it and I realised that I could often comfortably go all day without eating but then I binged at night, and that as soon as I did eat anything I lost control and stuffed myself. So since early January that's exactly what I've been doing. I don't eat at all during the day, and thenI eat a good meal about 9pm. I do count my calories, and I do make sure what I'm eating is healthy (most of the time...). I know OMAD ( one meal a day) seems pretty extreme and obviously isn't for everyone but for me I really think I've found a way of eating that I will happily be able to sustain. I still get to eat carbs, I still get to eat some sweet stuff, and I'm still losing weight. More importantly (and this is a big one) FOOD DOESN'T CONTROL ME ANYMORE and that's something I have never been able to say before. Sorry for the rambling post but I've never been in a better place with my weight 🙂 [link] [comments] |
| What do you do to love yourself even when you’re big? Posted: 01 Jun 2020 04:50 PM PDT I lost fiftyish pounds and put it back on again which has been devastating. I'm going to get back on it and keep trying hopefully but in the meantime I feel like I'm constantly putting my life on hold for 'I'll be confident when I'm skinny', or 'I'll get nice clothes when I'm skinny'. I just absolutely hate myself at the moment. I also find it super hard to feel attractive and therefore good during sex. I'm worried it'll impact on my relationship eventually because I just feel so negative. I am not sure if this is the right sub for this post, but tbh you have always been the kindest sub and I figured there must be some people who have felt like this before. Any tips team?

| First post: Same glasses - same bird - same mirror (same person?) one year difference. (220-171) Posted: 01 Jun 2020 05:15 PM PDT Hello there! It's my first post here to the community and I've been lurking and occasionally commenting around. Stats: F17 5'8 SW: 220 lbs CW: 171 GW: 145 But now, I believe it's my turn to contribute to this wonderful community. My birthday also happens to be around the corner (1 week) and I couldn't have asked for a better gift: health. I know I'm generally young considering this sub, but it inspires me to see so many of you guys achieve your goals and progress on your journies! Ever since I met my SO for the first time after talking on the internet for over 4 years, looking like the picture on the left I... Felt embarrassed to be in that state and for them to see me like that. Nonetheless, we had a good time before they had to go back. (to clarify, they did not mention weight or appearance other than height, lol). I kicked it into gear a few months after that. What I have done between then and now: CICO and after I hit 185, I decided to walk as often as possible (6k-10k steps daily). Then, I had moved onto weight training and other exercises that I enjoyed (biking, hiking, trampolining to name a few). Here is the picture!: https://imgur.com/F5jzaQN [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Jun 2020 08:50 PM PDT This is probably old news to many, but it's been a recent revelation for me: getting quality sleep is an essential part of weight loss and health in general. I (36/M) have struggled with weight my entire life, first with poor diet habits at home, and then struggling to manage my Type 1 Diabetes and Hypothyroidism as a teenager. Now, I clock in at a morbidly obese now and I have a long way to go as I am just starting my journey (will ease into IF). But beyond just eating right and at the right time, and exercising, it makes sense to me that my efforts will be pointless if I don't make quality sleep an important goal. In addition to poor diet and lack of exercise, I am a habitual late sleeper, usually midnight-2am is when I finally fall asleep. It's especially terrible since I usually have to awake by 6:30a, so I'm tired and yawning all day. I tend to stay up late wasting time, watching netflix/youtube, social media, reading articles.. none of which is satisfying or worth losing sleep over. For the last two nights I have made a resolved to get to sleep earlier (11pm both nights). I managed to do this by leaving my laptop and cell phone outside of my room. I lay awake for may 15-20 minutes, but eventually did fall asleep. I found that it's improved my blood sugars and my energy level already. I'm amazed that I haven't started this sooner. A brief internet search shows just how important sleep is for metabolism, hormone balance and just overall. My advice to everyone, and myself first, is to make sleep quality/duration/onset a priority. [link] [comments] |
| I eat impossible-sounding quantities of food on cheat days, help Posted: 02 Jun 2020 01:13 AM PDT First time here, sure how much context is necessary but I'm a 5'11 23yo male, currently 160 lbs after a hell of a weekend. Last week I was 150. I started at 210 around a year ago; although I'm proud of my progress it's really slowed down lately. I keep adding things — more workouts, graphing my daily weight, better macros, increasingly drastic calorie cuts, IF but it's not really working. The mental and physical toll (5 days of <1200 calories, weightlifting, and 2 hours of walking is ANNOYING) is increasing but the results aren't there. Why? I'm a fucking animal when it comes to food. I'm always hungry, and I can eat literally endless quantities in one sitting (let alone a weekend). Like, I will eat until my stomach is feels like it's about to burst and still be hungry. I LOVE food. Normally I have some level of self control on weekdays, but weekends are killer. Friends, food delivery, alcohol, and late nights combine and my self control is gone. I usually lose track of calories, but I'll easily eat over 10k calories in a day. Entire pints of ice cream, a large Papa Johns pizza, and cookies by the dozen is ONE meal for drunk happy me. And that's not including the alcohol calories! I've cut down on drinking significantly, from 6-10 beers a day (college) to 4-5 a week at most (usually all at once on Friday/Saturday). However, this has lowered my alcohol tolerance more than I thought possible. I drink less but get more drunk, and this makes it really hard to resist food. So every weekend I eat like a horse, and spend the week recovering. At first, I was still losing weight through this, but it just keeps getting worse. I went from losing weight fast, to losing it slowly, to plateauing, to this week: my worst one ever, and my first week-over-week regression in months. I know how fast I can lose weight after a binge, and there's no way I can recover from this by Friday. Which means I need to fix this issue by Friday, or my cut is over. Of course there are some obvious solutions like
But honestly, the thought of any of those really unpleasant. I've been in a pretty bad place mentally for a while, and COVID (not really the disease, but related stuff) made things a lot worse. Eating and drinking with my friends on weekends is pretty much the only thing I look forward to, and my weekday cuts are already borderline unhealthy. Here's some of what I've tried
Anyways, anyone got tips? Sorry for the rant [link] [comments] |
| One year comparison - 50 lbs down Posted: 01 Jun 2020 10:38 AM PDT Last June I took the picture on the left at 265 pounds. Today I decided to recreate the same picture at 215 pounds. I started my weight loss journey last January at 283 lbs, so I've lost a total of 68 lbs so far. I work out, but the main thing I've done is just diligently count calories. At this point it's just normal for me to quick log everything I eat in my journal. My target every day is 2000 calories (I'm 6'2", 29M). Sometimes I'm a little over, sometimes a little under, but that has proven to be a good number to keep me losing weight at a steady pace. So far I've been operating on the theory that WHAT I eat doesn't matter nearly as much as HOW MUCH I eat, so I've been tracking calories and not worrying about nutritional value. Now that I'm approaching my goal weight (200 lbs), I'm actually going to start tracking macros a bit to optimize my diet. This month I'm going to experiment with adding more protein (I actually did some math on my diet in the last month and realized I am barely getting any protein at all, compared to recommended amounts). Anyway just wanted to share this milestone. I'm proud of how far I've come and I'm ready to hit my goal weight. [link] [comments] |
| After shredding 55 pounds of fat I remember my old self as another person Posted: 01 Jun 2020 01:37 PM PDT If you need to, brainwash yourself... (continued) Hello everybody ! Dakaraz here, living in Romania. Today I want to tell you about my weight journey and the impact it had not only on my body but on my mind. In my early life (until 8) I was a fit kid with lots of energy that "shadowboxed" imaginary cartoon villains. After a surgery I gained lots of fat in a few months, became obese. Was the fat one until 7th grade when I started boxing to defend myself against bullies. Lots of fire inside me, trained like a maniac, 4 hours workouts 4-5 times a week. After a few months I was the best boxer around and the belly was gone. When I started highschool I couldn't go to a boxing gym anymore and started fitness. Nutrition was crap (coming from a family with zero nutritional education), I got lots of muscle (I was extremely strong) and also lots of fat. During Highschool I was going to the gym on and off for a few months, lost weight many times through diet/healthy lifestile/crazy amounts of exercise but got it all back again every time. After first year in college where I didn't train and ate only fast food, I felt stressed and tired all the time. I started to implement the things I learned from boxing, fitness, bodybuilding and powerlifting in my professional life and started a business. My only focus was to make it work and I didn't care about my health/physique. Lost a few pounds during summer when on vacation around Europe for 2 months and then got it back + more until January this year where I reached my max weight (125kg-275 pounds). I was OUT OF SHAPE ! The same person that was the best boxer, fast and powerfull as hell, in 7th and 8th grade, the same person that was the strongest boy in highschool when it came to picking up heavy things, to the out of shape, big belly hanging, tired all the time, who can't do pushups, pullups or run, out of breath after climbing some stairs kind of person. This was affecting my body, my mind, my business, my family, my relationship, my social life and the most important thing: feeling numb, not alive and energized. At that time 2 toughts crossed my mind:
First I started fasting. Then I started counting calories. Then I started doing aerobics 30minutes (with lots of pauses) in my room. Started making the healthiest food choiches I've ever made -> I started eating veggies (the last 3 months I ate more vegetables than all my years before that combined). I brainwashed myself to do it, no excuses, no way back, no easy way out. I couldn't accept myself if I didnt' fix the 2 toughts that made me start and finish this thing for real. Started at 42% bodyfat. Now 25% (which means I'm no longer obese). Lost 25kg (55 pounds). Build a home boxing gym. Started training again. A boxer friend joined me. Now I have 4 other friends training with me. I can't move like before. I am not as powerfull as before. I run out of breath quickly. BUT DAMN BOY AM I BACK !!!! I eat healthy all day everyday, no excuses, no matter what. Fasting daily like my life depended on it (80 day streak for 18h fasts right now). Still doing it until I reach my goal (8% bodyfat and competing in amateur boxing - going for the championship *THE THING I DREAMED OF WHEN I WAS 7th GRADE*). NO WAY I am going back the fat way, the unhealthy way, the sick and lazy way. Now I am close to looking like I feel (amazing) -tought 1 check- and I am an inspiration for close people, including my sister -tought 2 check-. When I remember me 5 months ago, 8 month ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago... I can't believe it was me. I see me in my memories but I think it's somebody else. NOW PLEASE! I you do one thing this week, this year, or in your entire life... LOSE THA MADAFAKING WEIGHT, BE A HEALTHY, FAST AND STRONG BADDAS !!! Do it for yourself, for the ones you love, for the ones that are not yet in your life that desire to enjoy your presence and for the ones that will at some point be inspired by something you did, offer these people a healthy and positive version of yourself.

| Something's gotta change- taking my life back Posted: 01 Jun 2020 09:02 PM PDT Hey, r/loseit. Long time lurker here. F/31/5'10"/250lbs. I'm restarting my weight loss journey. I've started using MFP, but not perfect. Also stated doing YouTube walking workouts from home. I have a tendency to overeat/binge when I'll stressed, and I have young kids, so it's sometimes tough for me to get time to myself. Been having some health issues recently and dealing with pain which takes me off my feet a lot. I'm considering going in a meal replacement to force myself to limit calories. I guess I came here for motivation and commiserate with others who have struggled with overeating/exercise. It really affects my self-esteem and sense of self worth. I've been working with a therapist and the advice I got was to work in self love and repeat affirmations to myself that I deserve to be taken care of. My goal weight it's 180 lbs. That's 70 lbs to lose. I know I can do it. Just needed to put it out there to make my goal more real. Thanks for reading if you did. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Jun 2020 09:39 PM PDT Hello. So here I am starting day 1 again(maybe even the last day 1) and what I really think I need is an accountability buddy. Someone who is going to motivate me and help me kick my own ass. Someone willing to hold me the fuck accountable for everything I do and don't do. A little about me I'm a 31 year old female who works a desk job (currently from home), I'm 220 and 5"4. I'm determined to get under 200 for the first time in 7 years. I've never posted to this sub before but I do regularly stalk and cheer on everyone that's crushing their goals. Do you know where I can find the buddy that I'm looking for? Also if you have any advice send it my way. Thanks in advanced for any advice or help. [link] [comments] |

| 16 year old male with questions about weight loss Posted: 01 Jun 2020 07:57 PM PDT Since the end of April I've started exercising more and since two weeks ago I've started logging my food. I've figured out my TDEE and even have macro goals I try to hit. Right now I'm doing 120g protein, 65g fat, and 210g carbs. I'm a 200lb 5'5" 16 year old male. I think I have a healthy approach to losing weight with huge thanks to this subreddit. Still, I have a few questions. 》 1) Logging Food. Most of my meals I cook and therefore it makes it pretty easy to log. However I don't have control over dinner some days and on those days what I log is a wild guess for the most part. For example, today I had a garbanzo beans and spinach stew with white rice and salad. My way of logging this is roughly overestimating the amount of white rice and garbanzo beans I ate and don't bother logging the spinach part or salad because they are relatively low calorie. Then I log 15 ml of olive oil because I don't really know how much was used in the cooking. Would this be a good way of trying to estimate my calories from that meal? 》 2) Kind of based off the last question, according to what I logged I went way over on proteins and carbs and didnt get nearly enough fat. I'm 550 kcals under my deficit goal. So my question is this: Should I eat some healthy fats and get closer to my calorie goal or not eat anything at all for today as to not risk it because I don't really know how many kcals were in my dinner. The more general question is if I should try to reach my calorie/macro goals on days where I "guess" the kcals I ate during dinner. 》 3) When do clothes start fitting better? One of my main reasons I'm doing this is because I want to be more comfortable in clothes and my own skin before school starts up for me in August. I still plan on continuing logging calories until I reach my goal weight of 140lbs, but I'm just curious if I can expect to drop clothes sizes by the middle of August. 》 4) It's kind of weird that I've lost 6lbs already but I've been feeling full? It's hard to explain, but sometimes I feel almost "guilty" when I feel full even though I'm perfectly within my calorie goals. I've definitely changed in the fact that I don't binge cereal at night anymore and exercise regularly but idk I'm still shook about that. 》 5) Dinner for me is usually the heaviest meal of the day for me, in terms of calories. Is that necessarily a bad thing/detrimental to my goals? 》 6) How much should I worry about gallbladder stones, losing muscle, and excess skin? I've really psyched myself out reading about those online and just wanna hear what other people think about that. To my knowledge, I should minimize the risk for those three things if lose weight for a max of 2lb/week. I also want to start strength training too to be fitter and offset the chance of those three things. 》 Sorry for the huge amount of text! Thanks if you read all of this :)) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Jun 2020 05:17 PM PDT Hello everyone, I finally got around to doing some bloodwork my doctor's been pestering me to get done for a couple of years. I'm terrible, I know. He wanted to check my cholesterol. I guess because I've been losing weight these few years and my blood pressure has always been immaculate, I never really made it a priority. And yikes, do I need to make some changes! I know of course the past few months haven't been me at my best because of quarantine. I'm actually eating out MORE because I'm bored and need diversion. I also gave up meat for lent this year so I leaned heavily on dairy and eggs (whoops). I've also had time so I've been baking. Anyway, all this to say that I've finally been paying attention to my macros in MFP and what I've been logging and boy do I have a problem with carbs. I grew up in an Italian household so pasta, rice, and bread were de facto available. What's more shocking is that, despite me always asserting I don't have that much of a sweet tooth, I most certainly DO. I've noticed how often I go looking for chocolate or other sugar treat. I don't often keep such things in my house but when I do I channel some serious Cookie Monster vibes. So, I'm trying to make changes to what I have in the house and cooking and reducing to eating out just x2 week max like before. Anyone have any tips for cutting carbs and sweets? I love fruit but especially around that certain time of the month I become chocolate focused and now that I've slipped, it's hard to being satisfied with a chip of straight up chocolate. I want cake.

| I Have Hit Rock Bottom and Got My Wake Up Call to Lose Weight. Posted: 01 Jun 2020 04:10 AM PDT Hi everyone, I'm Sisi, 29F in Kentucky, USA. My current weight is 298lbs. Thursday I woke up early in the morning unable to walk. I was taken to the emergency room and transferred to UK in Lexington where they did a CT scan, an MRI and a ton of other tests. I found out Saturday morning that I have somehow injured my back to the point where this month, I have to have surgery. I'm sitting here in the worst pain of my life and after countless lectures from doctors, I have realized I have to change. I'm honestly scared. I don't know how or if I can do this but when I'm healed after my surgery, things are going to change. I'm exhausted. I'm tired of hurting. I'm tired of all of these medical issues. I want and have to change. Any advice? Any tips? Is it good to take before and after shots or progress pics? I'm sorry for the venting. I'm honestly in a really low spot and this seems like a safe place. [link] [comments] |
