| (20F 5’7 SW: 278 CW: 228) Celebrating 50lb loss today!! Posted: 22 Aug 2020 04:40 AM PDT I'm really starting to see and feel the difference already, I'm already more confident in myself even though I still have more to lose. Basically all I've done is restrict my calories to around 1400 a day (mainly vegetarian) with next to no exercising aside from just general day to day walking. I have massively went over 1400 calories a day also when socialising or celebrating so my biggest piece of advice would be to not beat yourself up if you eat over your calorie goal because theres always the next few days to get back on track. I want to lose around 50 more pounds and I plan on joining a gym soon to help build muscle and get toned. Just wanted to post here to document my achievement so far!! EDIT: Holy shit thank you for the gold!!!! And the comments you guys are amazing <3 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Aug 2020 03:31 PM PDT i've been focusing on getting my eating under control this past year after a literal decade of obesity and it's crazy sometimes what i've considered normal. i was talking about it with my mom and told her that, now, if i ate an entire bag of chips (we're talking the big bag) i'd feel sick. she was like 'ya, you're supposed to feel sick from eating that much' and, you know, she's right. yesterday i had some homemade cookies and overdid it by eating seven and later on felt sick from it because i should. i've gotten so so used to crazy huge portions that i'm so surprised at my body when it acts normal.

| Posted: 22 Aug 2020 08:45 PM PDT 5'2, 23F. 174 pounds I am 50 pounds heavier than I was when I started college four years ago. I hate looking at myself in the mirror most days. I think I used to be this vibrant, fun, articulate, energetic person but these days I feel nothing like that. I just feel sad that I exist. I avoid seeing my friends, loved ones, leaving the house ever really because then I have to find something to wear and finding something to wear is never simple and none of my clothes (even the newest ones, bought to accommodate weight gain) don't fit me properly anymore. I feel guilty because I feel like I should have been using this time since March, of working from and being at home, to lose weight. I didn't do any of that. I was just glad to have an excuse (pandemic) to not have to see my friends and do fun things. I feel like my life is slipping me by. I tend to be very all or nothing. I have started and stopped more weight loss journeys than I can count but I owe it to myself to be better and do better. This time will be different because this time I'm not doing it secretly, shamefully. I am telling all of you. I am going to keep my promise to myself and also to you guys. Goals: 10k steps daily, measure/count everything I eat and plan meals in advance, stay in a calorie deficit (1310 calories a day), 16:8 fast Wish me luck <3 [link] [comments] |
| I saw myself on TV and it was bad Posted: 22 Aug 2020 11:30 AM PDT I did a TV interview this morning. I just watched it and my god. It's so embarrassing to see myself looking like this. I knew my weight was bad, but I didn't know it was that bad. Three years ago I was 170 lbs, which puts me in the overweight category. Over the course of 6 months, I got down to 140 lbs following CICO with help from this sub and my tracking app. Then two years ago I quit smoking. I succeeded in quitting, but at the expense of my weight loss. Not only did I regain everything, I got an extra 50 lbs just for luck. Now I'm 220 lbs, which is firmly in the obese category. Watching the interview this morning is eye-opening. I don't look like me. I look like the person who ate me. What makes it worse, is that the interview is about my company, which is a sports store! I'm an obese person standing there talking to the country about hiking and running gear. I'm embarrassed on so many levels. Three days ago I had to take press photos for the same campaign. They were bad. I knew it was time. I've started logging again. I've updated my flair on this sub. I'm no longer avoiding the issue. I weighed myself. I looked at myself in the mirror properly for the first time in two years. I wish there was a quick fix. I wish I could make this all go away now. But really I know it's going to take the same amount of time to lose it as it took me to gain it. At least this time, I'll have good "before" photos! 😫 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Aug 2020 10:14 AM PDT 25f After a year long battle of being stuck at 205lbs, today I weighed 198.8!!! I fully know with fluctuations i could see 200 again tomorrow, but I haven't seen under 200 pounds in over a year and right now I am over the moon!!! So far the only real diet change is I cut out soda a few months ago and drink nothing but (flavored) water and while it is slow, that one diet change has helped me drop about 6 pounds in about 3 months! I was stuck at between 200.8 and 201.8 and was starting to loose hope. Yesterday I was 200.8, today I am 198.8! I'm 4'11 so 200 pounds is A LOT on me. My current goal is 150 bug the eventual goal is like 130. Once I get to 130 I'll see where I want to go from there. Edit: omg my first award thank you so much!!!!! [link] [comments] |
| Eating Later Has Changed The Game For Me Posted: 22 Aug 2020 08:53 AM PDT I love to eat at night. So when I started my weight loss journey the hardest part of my day were the hours of 5pm to 11pm. At first I tried to eat dinner at 7pm and be finished for the night. That was so hard. I even had one night where I broke down and ordered 6 tacos from jack in the box at 10pm. After three weeks of struggling not to eat at night I decided to push my meals back later in the day. Now, I am doing a slight form of intermittent fasting. My first meal everyday is around 3pm. My second meal is around 6pm and my last meal is around 9pm. I fast between 10pm and 3pm the next day. In the morning and afternoon I drink psyllium husk, water, and coffee. My new method has helped so so much. I lost three pounds the first week of doing it which is great because I have 120 to lose. I can't wait to find more ways to enhance my weight loss. Each day is a new chance to learn something new about myself and my body! [link] [comments] |
| After a year, i finally finished my diet. Almost reached my goal and got rid of multiple bad habits! Posted: 22 Aug 2020 04:09 AM PDT Timeframe: About one year Weight from 105kg (231lbs) to 62kg (137lbs) Height: 183cm (6foot) Age: 42 before and after pics --- more recent pics --- my weight chart Finally finishing my diet/cut few weeks ago. I started my diet and weight training at the same time one year ago and i almost got to my goal. Before that i had really bad nutrition/eating habits, was mostly sedentary and also had many vices like drugs, tobacco, etc. When i started that journey year ago i also started to drop my bad habits along the way and now i have also beaten my drug addictions, got off from anti-depressants/benzos, stopped smoking and started to eat healthy. So i did withdrawals from three drugs during this time which were Lyrica, Suboxone and Rivatril which all were their own special kind of hell as i had used things for almost 20 years. I would liked to have dieted to point where my abs show, but in recent months the side effects of dieting for long time and having lower body fat started to really affect me. I was getting symptoms like i low energy levels, hungry all the time, never felt satiated, thought about food all the time, crappy mood, weight training was pain in the ass among few other things. But i can do some mini cuts in future to reach that level. I was in ~400-700(1500-1800) calorie deficit most of the time, started with 3 workouts per week (5 later on) with dumbbells/bodyweight at home, did little bit of light cardio at the end too and lost about 0.3-1kg (0.7-2.2lbs) per week which got harder near the end. At the end i added refeed days once per week, which were helpful and i should have incorporated those way before that in hindsight. I also noticed that i stopped or at least majorly slowed down progressing and gaining strength/size in last five months. My "old" age could also be also an factor though :] As i was in caloric deficit this whole time i have been lifting weights i never really have known how different it feels to do workouts in maintenance/surplus so i am looking forward to that. I have been on reverse diet for 3 weeks now (+150 calories per week) and i think i am really close to my maintenance now. I am still having those symptoms from dieting, but hopefully they subside soon. Although my workouts have been much better already. I would recommend reverse dieting to everyone who are finishing longer diet/cut too. In these 3 weeks so far i lost fat faster than in weeks before it. Before i started this journey i never even considered that i could change my life in almost any way for good and to think about eating healthy and working out was almost an laughable idea. Honestly what started this was that i saw some pushup challenge here on reddit and for some strange reason wanted to try it. After that i started to read r/Fitness and from there started to watch fitness Youtube channels and i think i just got inspired from all of these things. Then after starting it began to feel so good and seeing some changes in my body was really great and really lifted my self-esteem (it's still not "good", but hopefully i will get there in time). Plus it is an awesome aid for depression which i have suffered from almost my whole life. I was really strict of following this regimen and really forced myself to workouts and kept my eating in check as i only missed 3 workouts during this year because of dental work and never exceeded over 100 calories of my daily goals. This worked great for me but might not be for everybody. So if this ex-addict (hopefully!) who has been sedentary for most of his life could do this, so can you! And sorry about my English, it's not my first language. [link] [comments] |
| Advice on how to deal with loved ones? Posted: 22 Aug 2020 05:43 PM PDT Hello, this is my first ever reddit post but I have been apart of this community for awhile and am so impressed with the support an encouragement shown to each other, something I could use a little bit of myself. So here goes. I'm 18(f) and 215 pounds. Obviously I'm well aware of how overweight I am and the negative consequences it could have for me further down the road. I've been struggling with binge eating for a few years now to cope with a sadness that can be crushing at times. I hate the person I see in the mirror and truly have been trying my hardest to break free from this addiction but I can't seem to stop, which only makes me hate myself all the more for being so weak. That's not the worse part, but the fact that I feel like everyone in my life is in someway holding me back. For example, both my parents have expressed their concern about my weight and want to help me, especially my mother who I live with. There is nothing wrong with this but its the way she tries to help thats the problem. In general, its things like questioning me about what I'm eating, even if its just breakfast or telling me how pretty I could be if I just lost a few pounds, stopping me from enjoying something even if everyone else is having it. What she did today however, was the huge punch in the gut that made me finally want to ask for advice. I had spent all day out with my brothers, came home and ate before going straight to my room whilst she was downstairs with other family. About an hour passes and I started to want something sweet, I didn't really care what. When I went down to ask if she had cookies or anything she starting berating me for wanting it and stating loudly " I thought you were crying the other day about being over 200 pounds". This is what really hurt me, as I hadn't weighed myself in a while, so finding out I had put on so much weight did make me really sad and cry, it was a very hard realization. My mother was the only person I had told about my weight, because I confide in her about pretty much everything and she just nonchalantly announced in a room full of family that I don't open up to. Not wanting to bring it up in front of others, I moved on and pretended it wasn't even a big deal(story of my life) and said, "but you guys had apple pie from McDonald's 5 minutes ago". At this point I didn't even want the cookie anymore I was just annoyed at her double standard (most of my family is to some extent also overweight). When we were alone I brought up the fact that I was upset she told everyone like that and she brushed it off by saying "oh I thought they knew, sorry". Which didn't make sense to me because she knows how sensitive I had become about my body. When it became obvious I was actually quite upset she began jokingly plying me with kisses and trying to hug me in a attempt to grab at my love handles. This made me profoundly upset and I begged her to stop multiple times to no avail because not only did I feel totally violated, I hate it when people do me wrong and brush it off because I'm known as the the tough one in my family (something I never asked for btw, and its been like that since I was a child). After, when she finally stopped and I was still on the verge of tears, she turned to her best defense, gaslighting. "I'm only trying to help you, I know I've failed as a mother, I'm sorry i can't do anything right". This is when I gave up, I pretended I was fine, told her I forgave her and moved on. In reality, I'm curled up in my room still feeling so gross and wishing I could just die. She's not even the only person in my family to do or say stuff like this, but if I tried to explain I'd be here forever. I know this post is very long and if you've read this far, thank you. I would really appreciate any thoughts or advice anyone has on the matter, please. I'm desperate. Tldr: I hate myself because of my weight and my mother's comments are only making it worse.

| Posted: 23 Aug 2020 12:33 AM PDT I have lived as a morbidly obese for 99% of my life. I started a weight loss journey about two months ago (started at 500lbs), and I'm doing great so far. I finally feel like i'm living a healthy lifestyle. I just can't cope with the fact that even though I am practicing healthy, "normal" eating habits, people still see and treat me like a fat person. I feel like an impostor. I've struggled immensely in my social life since people don't always want to associate with a morbidly obese person. How am I supposed to recuperate from this, even when I finally get to a socially acceptable size? How am I supposed to suddenly learn 20+ years of socialization? I don't want my weight loss to harm me psychologically as a side effect, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you :) [link] [comments] |
| Anybody looking for an accountability partner? Posted: 23 Aug 2020 12:43 AM PDT Hi all, I'm looking to make a new friend on here who can keep me accountable for the foods I eat and make sure I get in some form of exercise daily. Of course, I shall be the same person for you and be your support system whenever things get rough. I know losing weight, as simple as it sounds, is hard and being consistent is hard... I have been struggling with my weight for the longest time, and I'm really ready to work hard and change myself for the better. So, I'm looking for someone who is as motivated and serious about shedding the pounds. I'm hoping that this weight loss journey could be a little less painful if I have someone to share the process with! PM me if you're interested. :) [link] [comments] |

| Overweight High school kid wondering about a walking path Posted: 22 Aug 2020 11:35 PM PDT It's gonna be a while until in-person school starts back up, and i just realized that i have done absolutely nothing this summer. I want to start walking daily and I wanted to know what i should start with. I would walk home from school, and it was 0.4 miles according to google earth, and I plan on doing it right after I get home. Would it be smarter for me to walk around the block, which is .7 miles, or skip a turn and walk a full 1.2 miles? (Both a few minutes after the walk from school). Obviously more is better, but would i be stressing my body too hard by walking the full 1.2? And am I thinking too hard about this? All answers are appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| 20M 5'9 SW: 275 CW: 270 GW: 160 Starting my journey. Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:22 PM PDT In the evening of July 31 I was thinking ahead to the next month and I thought of turning 20 which got me thinking about my weight again (a topic that has plagued me for most of my life) and finally getting rid of all the excess shite. So the following day I did a starting weigh in and was kind of shocked to see I was the heaviest I've ever been 19 stone 9 pounds. Which normally would have pushed me into self hate mode, but this time I just thought of actually doing something about it, so I made a plan to lose 115 pounds. My goals are as follows
More weight based timeframe goals
So far I have been able to stick to all these goals and I have lost 5lbs. I'm feeling very motivated internally right now thinking of how good it would feel to be comfortable in my body for the first time. It's humble beginnings, but every pound lost adds up. Thanks for reading <3 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Aug 2020 12:57 AM PDT Hello! I apologize in advance but this will probably be a rant...I have been following this sub for about a month now and its been really helpful. I didn't want to just spill my guts online but I have no one to talk with about these things... So, I have always been "heavy-set" since I was a kid. My mom always told me that we were just curvy (kinda true but also not) and that's the way my body is supposed to be so I never felt bad growing up. However, I got really into asian stuff and the celebrities are so much skinnier than I could ever be (and usually not healthy of course!) and I feel like that really skewed my idea of what a good looking body is supposed to look be. Flash forward a few years and I'm living in Tokyo. I'd gone through so many lifestyles resets that never worked. I always stopped working out after the first week and I always gave up on CICO because I have no idea how to do it effectively. I also lived at home while I went to school so I didn't have control of my food or my time tbh. When I went to study abroad tho everything changed. I walked everywhere but I also ate so much healthier almost unconsciously. My family are the type who rarely keep vegetables in the house so I always thought I wouldn't like them. However, being able to pick up a meal with a ton of veggies from the convenience store made me realize that I just have no idea how to cook them. I was also at a happier and more social time of my life so that definitely kept me from overeating because I was bored or sad. I didn't weigh myself but I did lose some weight and felt way more confident in my body. Looking back at it I probably didn't lose more than 10 pounds but my mindset was so healthy that I just felt good about how I looked 5/7 days of the week. However, COVID happened and I had to come back home. All the progress that I made has been completely wiped out since last spring. And now I feel like my relationship with food has gotten even worse. Because I lack a lot of control I tend to not even try to cook or get things that I like at the store. So my mom ends up buying things for me and she knows I like sweets and some high-calorie foods. So she buys them and keeps them around. It makes me really unhappy and I have no self-control so I end up eating them. Which just keeps the cycle going. It doesn't help that she's also overweight and doesn't see the problem in buying a happy meal for my brother every day or always having a cabinet full of candy. I also never go out anymore for obvious reasons and I have been babysitting all summer long so I haven't had much time to myself anyway. Now when I walk/exercise is very conscious and I end up hating every minute of it. When I had to walk everywhere it was fun, but now it's just tedious because I'm not going anywhere. There's not really a point to this post. I just hate that the last few months have taken all of the progress that I made in so many aspects of my life especially in how I view my body. I've tried a handful of times since spring to get healthier and be better but it never works. And now I'm stuck at home at least until next May with a super busy 'remote' schedule which will probably make me eat even worse. I got a glimpse of what my life could be if I didn't worry about how much I eat or if something's going to fit -- because I was making good choices consistently and was enjoying walking and hiking and so on. And now it's back to square one. I don't even know where to start taking back control of my health... If you read all of this...Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| The more I lose the more I worry about my personal safety Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:02 AM PDT I worry more about my personal safety when I am not overweight. I think part of my weight gain has been a defensive tactic. When I feel less attractive I'm not second guessing every interaction I'm having with people. I'm not worried about walking around at night. I'm not concerned over offending men by existing. A week ago I went to get a coffee and a man hung around outside my coffee shop and just stared at me from the outside. I had to text my boyfriend to come get me because I was anxious about leaving the shop. Yesterday I was trying to back out of my garage and a male stranger tried to help me out. I told him I was fine but he insisted. I had the windows down. He came up right after, blew cigarette smoke in my face as he smiled and gives me a card for his painting business. I felt so grossed out. I had a mask on but he didn't. Granted I also get kind interactions as well when I'm thin. But I so rarely have to deal with this other behavior when I'm overweight that it's jarring when this happens now. Any advice on how to push past this hang up? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:55 PM PDT Hia :) I'm sort of new to the weight loss journey, I've lost 6 pounds in 2 months due to starting exercise! I know 6 isn't much but I still was excited. Now, I believe I'm at the mental point where I'm convinced and ready to start a diet too. I've had bad eating habits for awhile, and honestly even if I wasn't loosing weight, it just isn't healthy.. So I specifically want to reach this goal now that I'm 18, because my doctor said top surgery is dangerous if you're over weight, and recommended I get to 150. Of course as many of you probably know, it was hard to flip the switch in my brain to change things, especially during these times when all I can really do is sit at home. But I can also walk around the house, I have stairs and dumbbells, and that's what I've been using so far. I turned 18 a little over a month ago, but had the talk with my doctor on my last visit with them (switching because age) and that's when I started. So I shared all of this because I'm hoping to find some support. Of course I'll be ditching out support to everyone too, even if you don't see this lol, but for those who do, a weight loss buddy would be super nice to have as no one else in my life seems to understand as they've never been over weight. I'm hoping to get top surgery at 19! Start weight - 200 pounds Currently - 194 Goal - 150 [link] [comments] |

| I want to gift myself a whole new life Posted: 22 Aug 2020 03:55 AM PDT My birthday is approaching and this year, I don't want to buy anything materialistic, no meal at a fancy restaurant, nothing. I just want to focus on giving myself a promise of working on my health religiously, come what may. Over the past few years, I have conquered a lot of battles in my life after an ugly divorce. But I have been neglecting my physical health. Presently I weigh 95 Kg at 5'3" and I'm not going to set any target, just want every single day to be slightly better than yesterday. I'm going to follow the following approach: 16:8 fasting No added sugar 20 minutes of walk every day I will stick with this for a month and then ramp up my schedule. [link] [comments] |
| I'm reframing how I look at food, and using that to lose weight. Posted: 22 Aug 2020 09:49 PM PDT So far I've found three truisms that sum up a healthier approach to food. They are as follows:
Using the above, it's no longer about eating less white bread. It's about eating more whole grains and leafy greens. It's not about avoiding a soda, it's about drinking lots of water. I am not trying to eat less cake either, I'm trying to eat more fruits and berries. It's not about cutting down butter and cream, it's about eating more nuts and avocados. I trust that if I focus on eating good food, do a bit of intermittent fasting, get exercise, and keep hydrated, my appetite will self-regulate. It works for me so far. I barely get any cravings, and when I do, I don't binge. I am losing weight at a slow controlled pace, without feeling like I'm restricting myself. What are some ways changing your thinking has helped you? [link] [comments] |
| Lost 115 pounds and have loose flaps of skins - anyone else dealt with this? Posted: 22 Aug 2020 07:33 PM PDT I'm a 30 year old male who has lost 115 pounds over about 18 months. I'm only 5'6 and originally weighed around 260, so that's close to losing half my body weight. I have noticeable skin flaps particularly around my belly and former man boobs. It's not too bad - barely noticeable when I'm standing - but still enough to make me self-conscious. I have no interest in surgical intervention, so please don't suggest that. Does anyone else have experience with excess skin? It's my hope that given a few years my body will "normalize" and absorb the excess skin. I appreciate anyone willing to share their experiences.

| Really struggling with looking like I weigh a lot more than I actually do Posted: 22 Aug 2020 05:18 PM PDT I'm 5'2" and currently ~165lbs which puts me in the lower obese bmi range. - which means I'm still very fat, I know, I'm working on it... I'm very happy with the progress I've made so far and I look very different but I still look like I weigh more. I constantly see progress pics of people with my stats and they look so good and I'm happy and proud of them but I sometimes get green with envy because I look like I have 20lbs more on me compared to them. Which honestly is kind of weird as I work out and have very defined leg and arm muscles and I'm also big breasted so you'd think some of that weight is accounted for but it's not. I carry all of my weight in my belly and it's awful. I see women my height that weigh 30lbs more than me and they have smaller bellies than I do. It's so vain and I sound awful but it's really weighing on my mind and I'm not sure how to deal with it. Sorry this is a bit of a rant, I needed to get it off my chest and I don't know where else to do it so thank you for making it this far. [link] [comments] |

Have A Goal In MindWhether it be a monthly goal or a long term goal, create a mental picture of how you want your body to look, or even find a picture and stick it on the fridge – that way if you get tempted to have a binge the picture will be staring back at you! 2. Reward Yourself For Every Five Kilos You LoseNot with food, but will a new handbag or facial, something that will make you feel special. 3. Don't Allow Yourself To Feel DeprivedIf there is a certain food you cannot live without, schedule it into you diet mid morning once or twice a week, that way you can burn it off throughout the day, and not feel guilty. 4. Have A 'Cheat Meal' ONCE A WeekThis gets some people through those first few weeks. Once your new healthy lifestyle becomes a habit – you will no longer need to call it a cheat meal, you will naturally allow yourself to give into your cravings occasionally. 5. Exercise With A BuddyWorking out with a friend is not only more fun, but that way if you're feeling lazy, you have someone to help you get moving again. 6. Walk Your PetIf you have a pet, take them out for walks daily and you will both benefit from the movement and fresh air. Plus, researchers have found that having a dog is more likely to lower your risk of heart disease! 7. Sleep In Your Workout ClothesIf you plan to train in the morning, you will feel more motivated to get up and go for that morning jog. 8. Plan Weekly Meals In AdvanceDo all your shopping for the week on a Sunday or Monday including snacks, that way you will be less likely to opt for take away or fast food. 9. Use The Free Weight Loss Tracking ToolIt is a great tool to help you track your measurement, weight and exercise each day. 10. Don't Quit If It Takes Time To See ResultsIt takes nine months to grow and nourish a baby, and it will likely take the same amount of time to lose that weight. Slow and steady is the key to long term weight loss, creating a real healthy mummy! And finally – remember that slow and steady wins the race! You can and will get there if you take it one day at a time. [link] [comments] |
