| NSV- I had a whole domino’s pizza and I’m still losing weight Posted: 13 Jun 2020 04:34 PM PDT I ate a whole dominos pizza, normally I would order a large stuffed crust pizza and eat most of it and a side and dessert and feel gross for the next 48 hours and hate myself. Today when my family decided to order pizza for a treat I panicked and thought I'd throw all my progress out the window getting my normal order. But instead I went on their nutrition website and realised that a small regular crust veggie pizza was only 850 calories and with a garlic dip it was only 1000 calories for the whole meal. So I planned ahead and only had a protein shake throughout the day and then got to eat a whole pizza and feel super satisfied and not go over my 1200 daily calories. I wanted to let other people know that you can still eat takeaway with your friends/family and stay on track with your weight loss goals as long as you do a little research and plan ahead with the rest of your meals. I know this isn't a huge victory like a lot of posts I see on here but I'm really proud of myself and none of my family have ever had to try to lose weight, in fact my mom is actively trying and failing to gain weight at the moment, so I can't really talk to them about my wins. Btw I'm F 22, SW 157lbs. CW 136lbs. GW 125-130 ish [link] [comments] |
| Finally broke under 140!!! Went from 154 to 139 in exactly 12 weeks. (Face gains photo linked) Posted: 13 Jun 2020 08:19 PM PDT Just wanted to share this because I am really proud of myself. I'm 5'5, 28 years old and until the last year, 135 was my "fat" weight. Most of my life I've been 115-125. I've had some physical health problems mixed in with depression, and everything snowballed for me the past twelve months. I didn't recognize myself in photos. I still don't... but it's getting better! 3 months ago, I'd had enough and I've been dieting and working out religiously. For workouts I did running, long walks, and body weight strength training the first two months. This past month I dropped the running and have been doing Insanity (plyometrics) by Beach Body for my more intense cardio. I've also added in some weighted squats and dead lifts. I'm a vegetarian and have always loved healthy food... so for my diet I mostly just counted calories and didn't change much of what I was eating. I made a calendar and cycled my days between 1150 - 1650 calories.... with an average weight loss of 1.25 lbs per week!!! [link] [comments] |
| My first significant scale victory - under 200 for the first time in twelve years Posted: 13 Jun 2020 05:29 AM PDT 48F SW 238 CW 199 GW 150 This is my first post here. Today I hit 199, first time under 200 in probably 12 years. I'm so excited and happy. I finally feel like I can do this, I can see how to go all the way to my goal weight and now I just have to keep doing it and let the time pass. I got a health wake up call in February 2020 - triglycerides off the chart and blood glucose pre-diabetic. My doctor told me I had an opportunity but if I didn't take it I would definitely be diabetic in three to five years. I have a 12 year old daughter and living to see her life unfold is my greatest motivation. I would be lying if I said that looking better wasn't also part of it. I've been putting on weight for the last 25 years, slowly getting fatter and fatter, and in February it ended. I started weighing myself daily, trying to eat to a calorie budget and walking every day - minimum 20 minutes, but as much as an hour if I have the time and energy. It helps that I have dogs and so at first I did it for them, and to help my husband with the dog walking. Now I would go for me , even if the dogs couldn't do it (although they never don't want to come!). I think the most important part for me was logging my food and just being honest about what I was eating. I was semi-conscious of the connection between the calories I put in my mouth and the relentless weight gain, but there was also a massive amount of self-delusion going on. On day one, just writing down everything I ate and accurately calculating the calories was almost as big a wake up call as the blood test. I love cooking and food and so I've taken on the challenge of learning to cook healthy, filling food that fits my budget. Once I'd tried a whole bunch of new recipes I rebuilt our weekly meal calendar - basically a new list of the go-to family meals that I can put together quickly, and are reliably met with family approval. Many of them are vegetarian, which is another small victory - eating less meat, and having less of an impact on the planet. Im still weighing my portions because food honesty is an issue I've not conquered yet! This sub has been a huge source of inspiration- thank you all for your honesty and advice and ideas.

| Beginning my journey SW 310 GW 170 Posted: 13 Jun 2020 09:01 PM PDT I've been overweight my whole life. I was born 11 lbs 2 oz! My whole life has been as a bigger person. I remember doing my 7th grade back to school shopping in plus sizes, a 14/16. I lost over 50 lbs a few years back , but gained it all back.... lately, I've gotten physically bad. I hurt all the time, like deep bone aching. I have a lot of headaches, sometimes weird feeling ones. I feel like I've been run over by a train a lot, even after getting a full nights sleep. I also suffer from depression. I am hoping all of this is caused my being so obese and that losing the weight will help me feel better! So, here I go! Wish me luck because I have 3 young kids, a husband, a full time job, and am doing online college 😬 [link] [comments] |
| How to break the cycle of dieting/binging? Posted: 13 Jun 2020 07:27 PM PDT So I've been losing weight steadily since around the beginning of May, and I was making good progress. But suddenly, like 2 weeks ago, it felt like I could not stop my cravings and I've been eating like shit ever since, eating junk and fast food everyday. Its become so much harder to stick to eating healthier/counting calories, even though before I had accounted for treats and stuff so it wasn't like I was deprived. This happens everytime I try to lose weight, and it just seem like it will never happen for me :(. I'm so sick of hating my body and being out of shape but I always seem to sabotage any progress I make. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've never been good at self control/discipline and I genuinely don't know how to fix it. Does anyone have any advice for me? [link] [comments] |
| My man eats for breakfast what I can eat in a day! Posted: 13 Jun 2020 08:08 AM PDT I just came here to vent for a minute about how hard it is to stay the course when the people who live in your house don't have the same goals/needs! I'm always counting calories and exercising. For years. Boyfriend not health conscious whatsoever. Eats anything he wants in any quantity, drinks 7+ beers/day, doesn't exercise, is naturally slim. He recently decided he wanted to do 75Hard (after noticing the beginnings of a beer gut) and I'm super supportive of anything that will result in healthier choices from him. So I'm doing it with him. 75 hard requires two workouts a day, no booze, and strict adherence to whatever diet works for you. We're both working our asses off. My calorie needs for my goals and activity level still can't exceed 1500 cal/day. My boyfriend however? He needs 3400+ to be at a mild deficit! His breakfast is my daily allotment! He struggles to get in that amount of food without all the beer he usually drinks. I look over at him this morning and his beer gut is visibly smaller. We're 13 days in! I'm still doing my usual up and down on the scale dance. So frustrating! [link] [comments] |
| When you think you're disciplined, but your partner thinks you're obsessive... Posted: 13 Jun 2020 07:19 PM PDT Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place for this... My whole life I've struggled with my weight. I've mostly hovered on the boundary between a "normal" and "overweight" BMI. In the past, my approach to fat loss/dieting has been extreme, unsustainable, and ultimately ineffective. Since quarantine however, I've had the time and mental space to commit to a more gradual and holistic approach. I've been doing CICO, IF, and sticking to a 5x a week training routine. I've been really pleased with my results so far (I've lost 10lbs since mid-March,) and feel like I've finally found an approach that isn't just a temporary means to an end, but a lifestyle and perspective change that will carry me through for the rest of my life. To put it lightly, my partner doesn't see it that way. A little bit of info on my partner's health journey: He is overweight, but has lost 6-7lbs over the course of quarantine by using the loseit app (which I showed him.) He's started eating more fruits and vegetables and eating more reasonable portion sizes which I'm really proud of him for. He doesn't exercise, and is generally more laissez-faire about his health and nutrition than I am. The issue we're having is that I feel like a lot of times he pathologizes and criticizes my lifestyle changes, claiming that my efforts are obsessive or disordered. For example, since beginning this weight loss journey I have essentially become sober (I'm a short woman and I'd much rather eat my calories than drink them.) My partner often complains about not being able to drink together like we used to, which I understand, but then he'll go so far as to say that my diet means I'm not fun or spontaneous any more. More recently, today we went on a trip to the beach and I packed food for myself. He kept asking throughout the day if I wanted to get a drink or stop by a local restaurant, and then got frustrated by my lack of desire to do those things. I've told him how his judgements affect me, and explained to him that my health is a priority for me right now, but he still makes offhand comments that get to me. Does anyone have any tips for how to manage this type of situation/help your partner see where you're coming from? [link] [comments] |
| F/22 SW:266lbs CW:210lbs GW:170lbs my story with an ED Posted: 13 Jun 2020 05:05 PM PDT I have been wanting to post this for a while but never got around to it until quarantine has left me with nothing else to do rather then browse reddit for hours. I was never the "skinny" kid, although I was involved in competitive sports from grade 3 onwards. By the time I was in grade 7 I was 20lbs underweight, training 24 hours a week as a national level swimmer, and restricting my calories in such a way that I would only eat a small breakfast before school, and then a small dinner after training. My mother was asked by other parents how I lost so much weight and that I looked "Anorexic" but she, herself being overweight, didn't really listen to this concern, and I continued with my unhealthy habits. I eventually quite my sport when I was in grade 11 but stayed active by joining recreational programs so I gained some weight, but it wasn't that bad. In the past I tried to go to gym to stay in shape but it always became unhealthy and obsessive. There was a point where I would track my calories and weigh myself every day (not that this was unhealthy, but the manner that I used it was unhealthy). At points I would track my breakfasts to be under 200 calories and I vividly remember measuring out Alphagetie (of all things), being as accurate as possible. I would then intentionally avoid lunch, eating antacids to quell my hunger, and strive myself till dinner. This period of time was the last time I weight myself as a teenager. This obsessive behaviour started again every time I tried to be more physically active, which eventually lead me to stop working out. In my first year of university I gained the classic freshmen fifteen (or there about). In my second year I went vegetarian and developed a strict diet to lose weight including no chips, pop or junk food. It worked, at least for a little while. However, it was still unhealthy, at points i would go days without eating or drinking. At one point I remember my one pair of jeans being too big that I would have to constantly pull them up. But by the end of the academic year (which was emotionally exhausting) I meet my boyfriend. We indulged in junk food and bad decisions that summer, at points we would eat an entire ice cream pizza from DQ in one sitting. And this habit of bad decision continued when we moved in together in September. I tried a few times to start working during this period, but I became obsessive again, exercising to the point of fainting or vomiting. So i just continued with my behaviour, often binge eating at night and then doing the minimal amount of effort. I would even get my boyfriend to grab me food from the kitchen (I was to lazy to even get it myself). But about a year ago I got fed up. I had started avoiding social gatherings, I had no self confidence, I wouldn't look at myself in the mirror, and I avoided all photographs (even though I ran a photography club). I didn't even want to my boyfriend of 2 years to touch me. I don't know what snapped, but one night I went to bed thinking, "I'm going to go to the gym tomorrow" and then the next day too. It took me about 2 months for me to finally stand not the scale at the gym, and I immediately got in my car and cried on the phone to my boyfriend and my mom. I was expecting to be around 190lbs, maybe 200, but i never imagined I would be 266.6lbs. I couldn't believe I had gained so much weight, and tbh, today I'm still astonished. Since then, my main priority has to been to lose weight without returning to my restrictive tendencies. I worked with my boyfriend to monitor my behaviour, to ensure I ate throughout the day and didn't become obsessive with calories. This was extremely helpful at the beginning. Additionally, as a psych major, I was actually in a class that involved changing a behaviour for the period of the course and writing a paper on it. This process allowed me to observe my current and previous behaviour from an objective perspective. Additionally, it allowed me to develop strict guidelines to prevent me from restricting again. Essentially, I did a scientific study on myself. At first I would have a cheat day once a week, but I eventually stoped doing this after a few months as I felt it encouraged my habit of binge eating, and have now including all type of food in my diet. For me personally, I fast until around noon, when I eat my first meal (although i have coffee and sometimes some fruit before then), I then have my next meal or snack around 3, and then dinner at 7pm often having a few snacks, like Crispers or chocolate or some homemade baked goods (sometime all of the above). I track my calories, sticking to around 1500. Additionally, I spent a long period of time educating myself on nutrition, which has helped immensely. Prior to quarantine I worked out 5 times a week, doing resistance training and the occasional HIIT, for about an hour occasionally attending yoga. When COVID started, I stopped going to the gym (as I have a compromised immune system) and for 2 months just maintained. Although I tracked my calories continually throughout, sticking to about 1700. About to weeks ago I started working out again at home, doing IG live workouts (30-45min) and yoga (about 1-1.5 hours a day). I've slowly started losing again, but I am excited to get to go back to gym on Monday. I hope this helps someone who has been in similar situations as me, because when I started I never found anything similar to what i had been though. Just don't give up, you can do it!

| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 06:22 AM PDT I ate too many calories the last 3 days... a combination of being intensely stressed at work, finding out my moms cancer returned, stressing about COVID... I just fell off the wagon completely. I ate until I was in pain. I felt myself pushing past the pain to eat more and I couldn't stop... I still tracked everything I ate, because I want to be honest with myself. I'm up 4lbs, but it makes sense with what I've been eating. I'm going to stick to 1650 calories today and go for a walk. I'm trying to reframe this as practicing getting back on track. I've always let a bad day turn into a bad week, bad month, bad year... Not anymore. This is a lifelong skill I need to build. I wanna turn this binge into progress. [link] [comments] |
| I don't hate wearing regular bras anymore Posted: 13 Jun 2020 11:04 PM PDT Hi! Just a bit of background I'm 19F 5'3/160cm SW: 134lbs CW: 115lbs GW: 110lbs I began my journey during the start of Feb, I guess you could say I was at a healthy weight when I started (even if it was borderline overweight). I had one of those "I have to lose weight" moments when I went to buy a new bra with my mom before this whole pandemic happened since I had to grow out of that "always wears sports bra" phase. I never really formally took my bra measurements, but I always assumed I was a 34B since those were the sports bras that I wore. (I had regular, old-fashioned ones but they didn't quite fit me well since they always made my jugs look bigger than what it really was, so I wore sports bra a lot to restrain them) When I went to try them out in the fitting room, I got repulsed by what I saw in the mirror. I was practically spilling out of the cups, and there was extra arm fat just sitting there beside it. I nearly broke down then and there when I realized that I probably grew a cup size but just never realized it since I always wore sports bras. I was embarrassed to tell my mom so I ended up saying it was okay and we bought 2 of them. I threw them in my closet, hoping to never see them again since I never really liked bras anyway. But I knew I had to grow out of that phase, so I began my weight loss journey. 4 months and 19lbs later, I saw the same bra sitting below my other sports bras and thought, what the heck, might as well try it on. And nearly broke down again when I saw myself in the mirror (yes, I'm aware I get emotional a lot). They fit perfectly. I wasn't spilling out of the cups, I had no arm fat sitting beside it either, and for once in my life, I didn't hate my figure while wearing just my underwear. I thought to myself, "why did I always hate my half naked self? I didn't look half bad at all" and smiled really big when I realized I was suddenly learning to love myself. If you had told me 4 months ago that I would think the same thing I did when I saw myself half-naked, I would've laughed and made a self-depreciating joke. But now, I realized t-shirt bras weren't so bad after all. I always wondered why girls liked to wear them, and now I understand. Sorry if this was really long, but I just wanted to share this really big milestone for me. I never realized what a difference 19lbs would make, not just physically, but mentally as well.

| Starting my first serious weight loss mission Posted: 13 Jun 2020 11:39 PM PDT I am one week into my weight loss mission. I've tried things like keto or intermittent fasting briefly but never stuck with it long enough to see major results. I was browsing through this subreddit and found a link to TDEE Calculator which is a BMI calculator that also gives you calorie intake recommendations based on whether you want to lose, maintain, or gain weight. When I put my information in ( 21F • 5'8" • 201 pounds (91 kg)) it gave me a BMI score of 30.6 which is just barely over the borderline from overweight to obese. I had always known I was overweight. I've been overweight since I was 9. But obese was a huge shock. I had always thought obese was the term for people who are extremely overweight and can't function normally. Ever since I found out that I am obese I've been obsessing over it. I look in the mirror and I can't help but notice all my fat and flab and the word obese keeps repeating in my mind. I worry about things. If I'm obese now what will happen when I get older and my metabolism slows down? I worry about my weight snowballing to the point where I'm on "My 600 Pound Life" and need helping walking around. Type 2 diabetes and hypothyroidism also run in my family so I'm afraid I'm putting myself at risk with my weight. I decided I can't let things get any more out of hand. I've started counting calories and trying to keep my intake below 1,414 which was my recommended intake for cutting weight. I'm also trying to switch to higher protein food and eat less carbs. I record everything I eat along with the calories, carbs, protein, and fat in a notebook which has really helped me stay organized. I've been doing this since Monday and I've lost 3 pounds so far. I don't have an exercise plan yet. My plan is to get used to the new diet and then start slowly implementing a workout routine. I've been getting headaches and feeling dizzy and tired some days, especially days I'm at work since I don't get a lunch break with the new coronavirus hours. Once I adjust to the low calorie intake a little more I'll start working on my calories out. I've told my boyfriend and my mom that I'm working on losing weight but I haven't told anyone else. I feel like since I've started so many diets and health kicks before people won't take me seriously this time. I'm waiting until I start making serious progress to say anything. I'm excited to be seriously working on losing weight. My target weight is 140 pounds (63kg) which means I have 60 pounds to lose. I'm very motivated to get rid of this obese label and hopefully the overweight label as well. This may sound cheesy but I'm excited by the idea of putting on a pair of my current pants once I lose weight to show my progress. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 06:56 PM PDT My family decided to get two boxes of pizza, some wings, fries, fried pickles, and brownies. Instead of eating like 3 pizzas plus extras of everything, I drank two cups of water, then had one pizza, one wing, a few fries and half a fried pickle. Totally enough for a nice meal. And I'll have one small brownie with a cup of green tea. All counted and fit in my daily requirement. BUT THE BOXES ARE STILL THERE. There's a lot of leftovers. And while I'm not exactly hungry, it would be so easy to grab a slice... AAAAAA I know just because it's there doesn't mean I should eat it but....it's soooooo tempting. What do you guys tell yourself to remind yourself to avoid? [link] [comments] |
| After a year and a half of work, I went from 240 to 140! Posted: 13 Jun 2020 10:55 AM PDT At first, I was willing to write my hard work off as 'It was just the adderall, I was too lazy to do this myself." But no. That's not the case. I: -Replaced 1-2 meals a week with a salad -Cut out almost all red meat, soda, and alcohol. -Made an effort to work out a couple times a week. -Made an effort to eat smaller portions -Limited myself to 1 surgery treat a day, often going without any -Replaced snacks with water coffee and tea These are all huge life changes, and I've handled them like a champ! Ya, the adderall helped, but my life changes really made me go the extra mile! 100 pounds lost! Woo! Go me! [link] [comments] |
| I feel content and it’s great. Posted: 13 Jun 2020 10:19 PM PDT Good morning! I have been on my weightloss/change of eating habits journey for a month now and the thing I have noticed the most (besides the fact that I have already lost 6 pounds! - F29 5"3' SW 125 CW 119 GW 110) is that I feel very content! Since I started eating a more nutrient rich diet and I cut all the sugary/sodium loaded snacks I feel a lot less lethargic, my workouts feel so much better and my overall mood has improved dramatically even during this very difficult times. I have also found it a lot easier to regulate my thoughts and to practice sensible food choices daily. It's interesting because for years I had been telling myself that my diet wasn't "that bad" and that I worked out, walked and ran so much that I just "burned it off" but the truth is I had been packing the pounds on steadily and I felt very lethargic and tired. I would wake up and just start jamming sugar down my throat or drink bucketloads of coffee, hype myself up and then crash massively. After the quarantine started I took up yoga and somehow after many frustrating hours on the mat it clicked and I sat down with myself and made a plan. And here we are, a month in, doing well and ready to keep going. Just thought I'd share in case it helps anyone. Have a good day! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Jun 2020 08:09 PM PDT I'm a 23-year-old gal. I've always had a "healthy" appetite and lots of energy. I can put away a lot of food. My whole life I've heard things like "that's a lot of food" "she's binging again" "that's her second plate" or at a buffet "that's her fourth plate" "are you even tasting the food" etc etc. For the past ten years at the least. I'm 185lbs and 5'5. My normal is 160-170 but I've been slowly gaining weight with the quarantine since my activity level plummeted. I don't drive so I normally walk my dog and cycle to work in Texas and that sort of thing. I eat a lot, I know I do. But I don't think I'm incredibly obese or anything. I have a 32 in waist, my bust is 43 in and my hips are 42 in. I think I'm proportional. Before being furloughed I would wake up, walk my dog, cycle to work, takeaway breakfast from the cafe next door (egg white wheat wrap with spinach and mushrooms, fruit, and whole milk) then settle in to work an office job, snacking on nuts and soft cheeses until I cycle home for lunch, walk the dog, and grab a smoothie or a turkey sandwich etc then cycle back to work, snacking on hard-boiled eggs, raw veggies, raw fruit, coconut candy, almond bars etc. I usually worked 7-7 so I'd walk the dog as soon as I arrive (I always walk her for 15 minutes minimum) and then have supper. Usually a nice veggie lasagne or two salmon avocado rolls or something. Then I walk the dog again before bathing and falling asleep around 10pm. all three of my meals are pretty good sized and my snacks are decent sized as well. I think I eat about 2,500 calories a day? I drink plenty of water throughout the day (I have a 21oz sip by s'well I refill every time I get up to pee) and there's a hot water dispenser at work so I always have a giant mug or two of brewed peppermint green tea (one pyramid tea bag of peppermint and one organic green tea bag per mug). Nonetheless, every single person in my life that sees me eat comments on my eating habits. My mum, my brother, my best friends, my best friend' family, my boss, my coworkers etc etc. It's getting ... weird. I used to not have a problem with it. I'd say something like 'haha I love food' or brush it off whenever I felt a little offended at the comment (because whatever right? I'm not 600lbs so whatever, they're commenting because it is a good amount of food so it makes sense) but lately, it's been getting to me. I've started not eating around other people if I can help it; and tonight I ate at a buffet and my best friend's husband (someone I love like a brother) said I was bingeing. Which to me is crazy, because isn't bingeing when you eat until you're stuffed and sick and on the verge of puking?? I'm fine. I ate four plates, but a plate of that was fruit and another plate was rice and shrimp and another was baked salmon and grilled chicken etc. I had a plate of desserts because I love sweets but, I balance my love of sweets with veggies/fruits and activity (usually). Am I the problem? Am I eating too much?? Once I start working again, I'll lose ten, 15lbs and be as active as I was. I don't want to have a bad relationship with food, but it seems like I might be there already. Tonight, I found myself thinking some bad things like imagining saying no to food and "I'm not hungry" as well as really petty things like "instead of saying 'that's a lot of food' they'll say 'you eat so little' or 'not hungry again?' and that will show them." I've never had thoughts like that. I don't want to have thoughts like that, but it can't be healthy to eat eat eat like I do. Should I be worried? Should I eat less?? [link] [comments] |
| Gained almost 25 lbs in 6 weeks during cancer treatment. Struggling to lose it. Posted: 13 Jun 2020 07:57 PM PDT Some background into me: I'm 23(f). SW:150 CW: 152 gw: 120. I was diagnosed with early stage cervical cancer and was on bed rest for 6 weeks after a surgery and during treatment. Two years ago I had my first weight loss journey (going from 160lbs to 115lbs over the course of a year). Current situation: for the past 8 weeks (the day I got the "ok" to resume physical activity) I have been physically active for between 1-3 hours a day. I started running, resistance training and dance workouts. These are the things that I was doing that led me to lose weight two years ago and maintain a healthy weight since. I also eat a low-carb, low-calorie diet. I am frustrated I have seen no results. I know that my body is recovering and it will take time. But I am feeling discouraged. How have you guys dealt with feeling discouraged? [link] [comments] |
| My therapist said I cannot do this on my own. Posted: 13 Jun 2020 05:34 PM PDT A few years ago I was here and trying to lose weight. Dropped a few lbs and then gave up. And now I have gained so much more. I will be 41 years old inside of 3 months. I can barely walk to the bathroom. I sleep on my sofa because walking from bed to sofa each day is too painful. My Doctor called me "super-morbidly obese". I am supposed to exercise (but not walk more than 20 steps or lift more than 5lbs or reach above my head or bend over... so how?) and diet to lose weight. So I ate at 1200 calories per day although I am probably doing it wrong because I AM ALWAYS STARVING and I lost 10 lbs in a week. And told my therapist. And she says "it's great that you want to try" but that she is worried about "what you will do when this doesnt work" So I said I will make it work and she tells me that losing this much weight (156 lbs!) is too big and that I can't do it on my own. And like.... I have no family except my kids who are too little to help. And my son and I both have severe autism and don't socialize and I have no friends. I don't have coworkers. Between protest activity nearby and COVID19 restrictions, nothing is open... nowhere to go, no one to talk to, and apparently I can't succeed without people. But I have to lose weight because I have to live and be a mom for several more years at least and at this rate I am going to die. So... Idk what to do. If anyone here could help tell me what to do I would be so grateful. [link] [comments] |
| Losing weight made me lose my ring Posted: 13 Jun 2020 10:23 PM PDT Recently I've lost 32 pounds since the outbreak. This is typically something to celebrate, but unfortunately not today. Five years ago my boyfriend gave me a beautiful citrine ring for my birthday and I've worn it everyday since. Well lately I've noticed it's been a little loose on my hand but figured it was nothing to worry about. So I go about my day and do my errands. Only to come home and realize the ring is missing. Most likely it has fallen off my hand at some point today while I was out. Now I have a disappointed boyfriend and no ring. I feel like a massive pile of shit and can't think straight. Anyways to all the couples here make sure your jewelry fits you appropriately as you lose weight. [link] [comments] |
| Beginning again at my heaviest - F 29 5’3" SW 224.4lbs GW 115lbs Posted: 13 Jun 2020 02:07 PM PDT No idea what number attempt I'm at, but I'm determined to make this my last! I'm so sick of myself, I feel terrible and disgusting, I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror and especially since the lockdown my weight has gone up so much. I've hardly left the house and my sweet tooth has resulted in regular binges. I quit smoking earlier this year so that has contributed greatly as I've snacked and binged a lot more since quitting. I'm starting to suffer physically, my knees, back and legs are aching constantly and my fitness level is a joke. I just want to get to a point where I'm healthy and don't completely hate myself. I'm having a planning day tomorrow, sorting a menu, shopping list and clearing the cupboards, as well as working out which days to work out and which to rest. Any advice, tips or help that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. I'm stick of being stuck in a rut and I'm determined to make this my main priority. [link] [comments] |

| A Portioning Method That’s Helped Me Lately Posted: 13 Jun 2020 10:34 AM PDT Hi all, I just hit 40 pounds down today and wanted to share a quick, easy tip that's helped me avoid mindless snacking but still have some of my favorite foods! I used to always eat snacks from the bag, especially on days when I was so tired I just wanted to eat something really easy. When I started CICO, I was pretty good about portioning a single serving, but sometimes I would get lazy and assume I knew what a serving size was, or eat from the bag and assume I'd know when to stop. When I hit a plateau, I decided to rethink my snacking. Now as soon as I get a snack home from the grocery store, I portion it into single servings immediately. Once it's done, it's easy to just grab what I intend to eat. You can obviously also achieve this with single serve snack bags, but I try to reduce waste so this is a good alternative. I tend to find doing the work to portion things out up front, whether with snacks or meal prep, is a big help for me. [link] [comments] |
