| Finally feeling confident in my own skin for the first time in 10 years (photo linked in post) Posted: 14 Jun 2020 06:22 AM PDT Me 3 years ago vs. me yesterday Stats: F26 5'6" SW: 170+ GW: 130 CW: 133 I've obsessed about my weight for over 10 years. I hovered in the 160s and 170s throughout most of high school, but I was able to bring that down to 125 my junior year by eating very little (and only "safe" foods) and working out for hours every day. It was obviously unhealthy and unsustainable, and as soon as I stopped my crazed gym routine and began incorporating normal-sized portions again, I blew up. Since then, I've fluctuated more times than I can count. But last April, I decided to do it the right way: slowly and intentionally. I started tracking my calories (CICO), learned to cook more intricate meals at home, and then began intermittent fasting (16:8). I was surprised at how effortless it was: I figured out what times worked best for my body to eat, allowed myself to take a couple days off a week to account for being out with friends or wanting more indulgent meals/snacks, and started being way less harsh and trusting the process. I'm now at the lowest weight I've been since 2016 (133 lbs.) and feel great. I enjoy outdoor activities so much more now and am confident when I go out—all without starving myself or forcing myself to work out every day. Full disclosure: I do spend a lot of time outside climbing, skiing, hiking, biking, etc., but I also have a very sedentary job that requires being at a desk 8 hours a day. I recently found the photo on the left from a few years ago and was surprised at how much my face had slimmed out. As someone here recently said, weight loss isn't linear. I know there will probably be more ups and downs moving forward, but I feel like I've established a routine and strategy that work for me and don't put undo stress on my body. Super happy to have found this community and been inspired by so many of you! 🤗 [link] [comments] |
| Opinion: The best diet is the one that works for you Posted: 14 Jun 2020 11:03 AM PDT I've come across some subreddits where people believe their way of eating should be the only way (i.e. keto, and that if you don't follow it you'll die of heart disease). I love learning about different approaches but don't understand the defensiveness of advocates... some go as far as saying you should avoid all plants because they're "toxic" and I'm so confused? That mindset is what's toxic. If the keto diet works for you, great, but don't attack everyone who doesn't follow it. Pretty sure vegetables won't kill you, and can even be included while maintaining ketosis. I've literally read these comments from people and it's a bit concerning how quick people are to state their way is best and everyone else is just plummeting towards death. TLDR: do what works for you (for me, that's CICO, and I'm not going to avoid vegetables lol) [link] [comments] |
| Feeling proud of myself - 25F 5'4 SW: 185 (I think) GW: 130 Posted: 15 Jun 2020 12:14 AM PDT Hi all. Feeling inspired by this community and those who are IF - I've been struggling with my weight since college and have just kinda been packing it on with stress of grad school, a rocky relationship, and just in general being such a foodie lol. I have an unhealthy relationship with food - eating when I'm bored, sad, stressed, etc, and I've have had high triglycerides for the past 2 years. I was also recently diagnosed with diabetes type 2. I was absolutely devastated to be diagnosed with this at 24.... and started taking my health more seriously. I got started on metformin, I got a bit more serious about my diet and cut down on carbs/sugar intake etc. I've been so embarrassed of my diagnosis that I haven't shared it with a single soul, I've been hiding my pills from my parents in my nightstand and sneakily taking them for the past 3 months. When quarantine hit, it really impacted my mental health and slowly but surely, my relationship with food relapsed. I started ordering late night delivery and hiding the trash from my parents, not even bc I was hungry but because I stay up late and I want to eat greasy good food (that's actually shit lol). A few nights ago, I resisted that urge so strongly and didn't give into the whole "fuck it" mentality of like oh who cares, order tonight and start fresh tomorrow. I downloaded "Zero," deleted all my delivery apps, and made the commitment to get back on track. I'm so young, I want to feel hot and desirable, I want to feel comfortable in my skin, and I want to be healthy and reverse this curse of diabetes. I am so embarrassed that I've grown to become comfortable in my body, but I'm proud that I'm making the conscious decision to lose weight and keep it off. Just wanted to post here and keep myself accountable. I'm scared of the scale lol which is why I'm not even sure of my exact SW but I know I need to overcome that fear and actually step on. I just don't want to be disgusted at the number and then turn to food as comfort :( [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2020 09:20 PM PDT For reference I'm 20F, 5'3, SW: 155 lbs, CW:147 lbs, GW: 130 lbs So I started CICO at the beginning of May, and it was going great (-6 lbs lost). I was eating a baseline of 1240 calories a day, but I would eat back calories burned from exercise, so on most days that was around 1400 calories. However, this past week was really hard. I started doing less cardio and therefore I had less calories to eat, and I ended up feeling almost ravenous which led to binging on 3 occasions. My weight spiked from 144 to 147. I was pretty disappointed because I was soo close to a healthy weight range, but here I am approaching my starting weight range. I could tell that my approach was going a bit sour before these binges--I would go on long walks just so I could be "allowed" to eat more or if I felt guilty for eating a piece of chocolate or ice cream. I started to make my runs longer so I could burn more calories and then eat more. Then I realized the problem: there's a reason why I want to eat more so bad. So I'm changing my strategy, and I've decided to increase my daily caloric intake to 1500. However, this time I'm not factoring in exercise; so I'm probably still eating nearly the same amount that I was, but my mentality has changed; 1500 is just the routine, regardless if I exercise or not, it's not some sort of reward for walking 2 extra miles. Whereas before if I went over 1400 I would feel really shit and either binge or exercise to burn it off, but now I have that leeway built into my diet. I'm hoping that with this mindset I can separate diet and exercise--my diet is for me to lose weight, and exercise is for me to feel better and stronger. If the two help each other, then even better, but I don't want them to be so interdependent. I'm hoping this will be more sustainable for me, as I naturally have a huge appetite, and 1240 was just not cutting it for me. Honestly what I've learned these past few months while losing weight is that you have to keep playing around until you find what works for you. There have been several points when I thought I figured it out, realized then I didn't, and then I had to take a step back and re-evaluate. Honestly who knows if this will work for me, but I'll give it a shot for a few weeks, and if it doesn't work for me, I'll repeat the above process. [link] [comments] |
| 21/F CW: 143, GW:130 Looking for an accountability buddy Posted: 14 Jun 2020 08:38 PM PDT I apologize if this isn't the right place to look, but here's what I'm looking for. I'd like to share snaps of meals and snacks, just like a hey I'm hitting my calories or I'm not eating something dumb. I'm also working out around 45 mins to an hour every day, it'd be nice to have someone to check in with daily for that too. I'm 5'1 and stuck around 143. My goal weight is 130 to start. And as for eating my goals are clean meals and snacks with a 100-200 treat optional per day. I feel like I start off each day good then mindlessly eat something and fall off. I don't mind where you are in your journey just that we can both be useful to each other, you're welcome to tell me what you need from me! If this is something you're interested in, send me a message! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2020 02:11 PM PDT I started on Whole30 yesterday after my doc recommended it! Hoping to shed some major pounds. I've gained so much weight the past few years and I'm SICK of feeling unattractive, lethargic, and unhealthy. I've been in denial but I'm nearly 200 pounds at 5'6. I haven't been taking care of myself at all - especially after my mom died in late March. I'm 29 and worried about my future self - high cholesterol, obesity, etc. etc. Plus my husband and I are about to start TTC and I want to be healthy through a pregnancy. Wish me luck! Just had some apple slices with cashew butter. Probably going to be my new go-to snack. I LOVE carbs and it will be really hard to let go of processed foods, added sugars, etc. I can barely look at myself in the mirror. The body I have is foreign to me. I hate leaving my house - not only because I don't want other people to see me, but because I hate how I feel. Constantly trying to suck in my stomach, wearing black, only feeling comfortable in leggings. I'm sick and tired of this. I know how happy and healthy I can be because I've been there before. It just seems like such a long road. [link] [comments] |
| What can I do to change my life fitness wise? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 10:42 PM PDT Hello, I came to ask an important question. What can I do to change my life fitness wise? I'm at a painfully high weight near 450, and it makes everything difficult and I myself, am extremely unhealthy. I need help, I don't know what to do. I've tried diets and exercise before but I failed 10+ times. My most successful was my last losing 30 pounds, but I gained it all back. I don't want to be this way forever. I hate the way I am. Can you give me as much advice as possible? Diet, exercises and the in-betweens? I want to succeed this time and become a new me. The old me. I'm male and 6'2 ft and around 456 if this helps.

| Posted: 14 Jun 2020 06:34 PM PDT So many wins so fast! I'm so proud of myself. I still have a Long way to go, but today was the first time that I weighed less than 80KG since February of last year. In February 2019, I was not eating, I was losing but I wasn't eating and I got to 78KG but immediately gained it back when I gave up, but I am now 79.5KG loosing it the HEALTHY way. I was also stuck in a plateau for about 2 weeks and when I upped by protein and calorie intake suddenly the weight just all came off! I feel great and really happy. I can't wait to lose it all now! Suddenly 65 KG seems v attainable. I can do this. My dream is to wear a bikini to rottnest island in Australia and I'm gonna do it. I'm so ready for my lifestyle to change. I deserve it and am gonna work so fucking hard for it. [link] [comments] |

| "Playing the tape through" as a strategy for food addiction Posted: 14 Jun 2020 10:10 AM PDT I was reading a post in another subreddit from someone celebrating that they had gone a length of time sober. One thing that came up in the comments was a tool known as "playing the tape through." From what I understand, it's the practice of seeing in your mind the consequences of giving in to your addiction. You give in, what happens next? Then what after that? Then after that? You "play the tape through" to the end so you can understand and acknowledge the path that giving in to your addiction will lead you down. As you all know, it's been a tough year for a lot of people. While I've managed (miraculously) to maintain my current weight in 2020, I still have a ways to go. I have been struggling a lot with food addiction and bingeing and haven't been able to successfully move past this plateau I'm in because of it. When I read about this strategy, I wondered if anyone here is familiar with it and if it's helpful for food addiction. I am going to try it out myself when I feel a binge coming on. What are your thoughts? Any other strategies people use to overcome addictions that might work with food? Edit: Just came to clarify that I plan to use this as a strategy to stop a binge, not to stop eating altogether. One of the reasons food addiction is so difficult to overcome is that you can't just simply cut it out of your life. You need it to survive. Methods that work for other addictions won't always apply 1:1 for food addictions. I do not in any way condone starving yourself to lose weight. [link] [comments] |
| How the fuck do I figure out how many calories are in popcorn? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 03:07 PM PDT i got a box of popcorn today and I swear to god u have to jump thru so many hoops to find out how many calories there are. I use my fitness pal and have trouble there too. it says on the bag that's it's 140cal for 2 Tbsp of **unpopped popcorn. like why tf would i want unpopped popcorn? Now, i am kinda stupid so the math on the back doesn't make sense, so i'm going to lay it out here in hopes you guys can help me. If there are 2.5 servings per bag. A serving size is 2Tbsp(unpopped) which makes about 4.5 cups popped. there are 140cals per serving, or 25cals per popped cup. When i do the math i get ~280cals for the whole bag, but my fitness pal is much different and kinda all over the place. any help is appreciated [link] [comments] |

| Recently went from 320-290. Still going. (23f) looking for motivation and happiness Posted: 14 Jun 2020 11:42 AM PDT As the title says I'm a 23 year old male. I recenty started changing my habits after realizing that my life long weight issues have been due to overeating (binging) and inactive lifestyle. I've begun to change that through diet and exercise, along with trying to adress and change my habits around eating and my lifestyle. Things are going well so far, but I have a hard time maintaining motivations. I usually have a good week or so, then a bad couple of days where I go back towards my old habits. I don't really know what I'm asking, I just thought this would be the right community to look for some support. Titles says F, meant to put M. Thanks for the supports anyways! [link] [comments] |
| How can I kickstart long-term weight loss? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 09:55 PM PDT General context, I am 20 years old and female. I'm around 5 7' and I weigh currently 170 lbs exactly. It's been fluctuating with what I assume is just water and access weight by about 5 lbs. otherwise the number hasn't changed at all, and it's been 2 months. I workout 3 times a week, and I've upped my workout time to about 35 minutes to an hour, depending on the day and how I'm feeling or how much time I have. I usually do video workouts, and I stretch before and after and I also do some yoga each week that I don't count as exercise per say. I've been using resistance bands and weights for a few weeks as the normal YouTube workouts have been getting too easy. I eat healthily, and I splurge once or twice a week but I keep my calories around 1,500 per day, and I've been counting my calories per week since some days I'm not as hungry or hungrier (like when I'm on my period, for example) I shoot for around 9,800 - 10,000 calories a week. I try very hard for healthy options, eating lots of fruit and veggies and I don't eat a lot of meat so I've been eating protein bars and replacing most meat with plant based proteins, like beans or tofu. My diet isn't always perfect but I try to keep my calories at my goal. I don't have an active job or do any additional exercise. It's been frustrating. My jeans are too big in the waist now (although the thighs are still fitting the same as well as my calves.) so I'm wondering if possibly I've just gained some muscle in place of fat? That could explain the number being strictly 170lbs no matter how hard I try, and it's only been 2 months. But I have some progress pictures and I'm seeing very subtle differences. I don't look any slimmer, but working out has toned my body up a bit. I'm wondering if I need to eat less/more, workout more etc. any advice is appreciated. It's become a habit now to be healthier with my meals and I enjoy working out for the mental benefits, so I've been sort of teaching myself to do it without thinking about my weight and being skinnier. Now that's it's habitual I want to start working super hard, and try and loose even more weight so that once I reach my goal weight I can go back to a less strict plan. [link] [comments] |
| Would appreciate any insight into calories burned during bike ride Posted: 14 Jun 2020 09:51 PM PDT Hello! I recently started riding my a bike (outdoor bike) as a way to get some cardio into my life. I'm also counting calories, and am trying to figure out an estimate of how many calories I burn when biking. I know it's not an exact science, and I'd prefer to underestimate my calorie burn than overestimate. I have a Fitbit Inspire HR. I used my Fitbit to track my ride today (didn't pause it during my midway lunch break) and it said I burned 922 calories. I know that's not right. I also tracked my ride with "Map My Ride" and did pause it during my lunch break. It said I burned 305 calories. Since there was such a large difference, I used this website to calculate calories burned and got 319. Based on the above, I'm assuming it was somewhere in the area of ~300. I assumed my Fitbit would be more accurate since it tracks heart rate, but why is it so different? How do you guys track exercise like this? I can provide more info if it's helpful, just let me know. (Or let me know if there's a more appropriate sub for this.) F / 31 / 209lbs / 5' 5.5" [link] [comments] |
| How many kilograms/pounds can an obese person [me, F, 123kg or 271 pounds] lose in a week/month? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 06:43 PM PDT Hi! I have a lot of questions on weight loss and I wanted to put a weight loss goal for me to reach. I want to lose an X amount of weight until a certain date (not really specific, but just for me to know I'm doing well and. doing my best). Do you guys have an idea of how many kilograms someone obese is able to lose in a week, healthy? I want to create that personal goal realistically. I did google that question and it's about 0.5kgs to 1kg per week, but heard that iobese people loose a lot of weight in the begining, and start losing weight slower after the few months. Is that true? How can know if I'm being realistic on my goal setting? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question haha [link] [comments] |
| Is it impossible to lose weight after abdominal surgery? Posted: 14 Jun 2020 11:18 PM PDT Hi guys. Sorry if this isn't the right place to post but I've never written in any sort of weight loss community before. I saw there was a Daily Q&A thread but I figured because my question pertained to a more general discussion topic I would make my own post. Here's some background on myself to start out, you can probably skip this. I am 21F, and I'm 5'7. Before this event, I had been sitting around 117-120 lbs for several years without any major weight gain or weight loss. I felt insecure about my body, but never "hated" it or anything. I suffer from very severe anxiety, depression, and agoraphobia so those issues kind of exacerbate any woes I have over my appearance. But before this, it was always more issues with my general shape, than thinking I was "fat". But 2 months ago, I had abdominal surgery. Of course I was bloated and full of fluid for a few weeks after that still, but I've been fully recovered for a long while now and it seems that since the surgery I've suddenly gained 10 lbs, going in between 127 and 130 lbs. I've never weighed this much before and I don't even recognize myself in the mirror. I can't even look at my body, it's genuinely shocking and upsetting to me. I am vegan and don't eat very much (I'm almost certain I'd be at a calorie deficit 75% of days), so I don't think that's been the issue. I admittedly don't exercise very much, but I didn't before this either. I've started working out over the past month though a few times a week (yoga, biking, weights) and that hasn't helped at all. I had to go gluten free a few weeks ago for another health reason but that hasn't seemed to have any impact on my weight. Basically I'm eating clean (though I will admit I could be more consistent with times and amounts), trying to exercise more than I have, and yet nothing has helped. I am still stuck with these 10 extra pounds I never asked for. My clothes fit differently, I feel self conscious in everything, I'm really at a loss. I am wondering if it has to do with the surgery also because my abdomen is significantly larger than before, whereas there isn't a huge amount of difference in other parts of my body. Anyway, if anyone has any experience with this situation I'd be very interested in hearing. Am I doing something wrong? I don't even need to go back down to the weight I was before, even being in the 123 lb range would be fine. I just can't look at myself like this. It doesn't even look like the same person to me.

| I gained 8 pounds over the past week and I feel like I’ve failed and I want to give up. Posted: 14 Jun 2020 09:38 PM PDT I was doing so well. I was eating great, lots of vegetables and not too much fatty stuff, I drank water like it was my job and I would exercise every single day. Then I f**ked up and ate too much bad stuff and not enough good stuff over the past week and some how managed to gain 8 pounds! I started my weight loss journey at 17.5 stone and last Monday I was 16.7 stone. I was so proud of myself to see such a big change as that! Sure it took me well over a month to reach the point that I'd almost lost a stone but I still did it and damn I was proud of myself. Then, over the past week, I haven't eaten as well as I have been, I didn't exercise as much and I didn't drink as much water as I usually do. I know it's my fault and I really want to get back on track but I just feel like giving up now. What do I do at this point? HOW DID I GAIN 8 F**KING POUNDS IN A WEEK? I'm just so truly disappointed in myself. [link] [comments] |
| Workouts for the morbidly obese Posted: 14 Jun 2020 03:22 PM PDT My brother made the choice to finally start doing something for his health and I'm super proud of him. He works from home and rarely leaves (Amazon and delivered grocery services are super enabling). His knees and back are shot and like others his size, walking for extended periods hurts. He's been making a effort to eat better, cut out soda and fast food, and has started to do wall push ups and assisted squats. He went out for dinner today with a friend and confessed to me that he is even more out of shape than before Covid. I'm looking for exercises that a 500lb+ person could do or motivation that I can share with him. Think today really hit him hard but based off what he's saying, think it only motivated him more. Much appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2020 10:33 PM PDT Hello! I'm currently on a quarantine weight loss journey and putting all my energy into maintaining a healthy lifestyle like most of the people here who have really inspired me. When I first started dieting and exercising, I was super motivated and loved the results.. so I ate less than 900 calories and exercised for 2 hours everyday: 17 min stretch, warmup -> 21 min abs, glutes, arms strength workout -> stretch and take a break -> 11 min cardio aerobics/dance workout -> 30 min cardio dance workout. It helped me lose 9 pounds. Now, its been 2 months since I began this journey and I have been unmotivated, on a weight plateau, and have used more daily time into other things I enjoy doing. This has shortened my workout to an hour because I always put it off until 9pm and don't want to exercise too close to bedtime as it interferes with my sleep. For an unmotivated person like me who can now stick to a maximum of an hour to workout, should I do cardio or strength training to see the most weight loss results and get out of my plateau? I want to tone my body but before that I need to burn my stubborn stomach, thigh, and forearm fat. Sorry for the long post, any help would be appreciated :)) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2020 06:19 PM PDT Gender: Male Age: 35 Height: 5'6" Current Weight: 239 pounds Goal Weight: 210 pounds Maybe it is just because the water weight is almost gone but the first week I was losing about a pound a day on a 1,800 calorie diet. Next week the same thing. But then last week I dropped my daily calories to 1,500 and my weight loss has stopped. The food I eat has not changed. Just smaller portions and less calories. Am I cutting to many calories? I am down to a size 38 in the waist pants. My main food is boneless skinless chicken thighs, small red potato, yellow onions, broccoli, green beans, peas, salmon, greek yogurt, sometimes hamburger meat, eggs, carton of egg white, and I get 100% Lindt chocolate as a snack. I stay away from fruits high in sugar and use lettuce as a hamburger bun. No ketchup either. I do use a low calorie garlic and lemon marinade for my chicken. I have worked a little bit of pasta and white sauce into my diet, but I was losing weight. Everything is weights/measured. Sometimes even adding on 15% more calories than I calculated.

| Can’t stop bingeing and new to size up Posted: 14 Jun 2020 07:14 PM PDT I'm having a really hard day. I'm feeling really sad, overwhelmed and angry with myself. I've been having lots of ups and downs the past couple weeks. My husband and I have managed to sort out our finances (which was a huge stress factor for years) and I've just gone back to work after 7 weeks off due to COVID-19. I haven't been as consistent with my antidepressant as I should be this past month and I know that's likely impacting my mental health a lot. I've been going through a period of 3-4 days eating well, sticking to a 500 calorie deficit, moving more and feeling great. But then I binge or start eating at maintenance/overeating. Sleep hadn't been great the past week (kids) and I'm exhausted. I've now had to sit down and accept I need to size up in clothing because I only have one pair of pants and a couple shirts that fit. I absolutely hate the way I look in my clothes and feel extreme uncomfortable when at work. I feel like my physical appearance just doesn't suit my personality and the person I want to come across as. Sitting down and writing out some steps I can take to combat this. Could really use some words of wisdom/encouragement etc. [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 14 Posted: 14 Jun 2020 02:02 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy Sunday! Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): 199.6 lbs this morning, 202.4 trend weight. I need to update my flair. Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): Maintenance today. I may have over exerted myself in the sun & feel like my body could use some tender treatment. Exercise 5 days a week: Lawn mowing & tree trimming. 12/14 days. Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing 0/14 days): I have a shower in my future that will be most glorious. Try a new recipe once a week: Curried chick peas from dry beans, chick pea flour crepes (I helped, that totally counts) & new recipe breakfast burritos so far. 3/5 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Not tonight. 0/50 pages. No fast food, candy from the work dish or Starbucks: Day 13. Listen to my effing body: Higher intensity physical activity is still a very yes. A bit too much sun on no calories though. Oofta. Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: Today I'm grateful for chick pea flour & new recipes! Your turn losers! [link] [comments] |
