| Over 130lbs lost and down 4 shirt sizes now! Posted: 11 Aug 2020 02:47 PM PDT Too excited not to share, and felt like this is probably the most appropriate place to do it! Just discovered while clothes shopping that I'm down to Medium sized shirts (from XXXL), and have now officially lost over 130lbs (352 to 221lbs)! 11 months ago I decided to take control of my life again and get my health back on track. I came to a point where I saw my quality of life diminishing and honestly just had a moment where I realized I couldn't go on living if I didn't push myself to change right there and then. It meant not "waiting til Monday" because then it was never gonna happen; it meant changing my diet and cutting the destructive eating habits/cycles, and it meant pushing/disciplining myself to exercise at least 30min every day whether I felt like it or not, because if I'm really being honest with myself, I'd never feel like it. When I started, all I could really do was walk 30min on the treadmill, so that's what I did, every day- slowly increasing my speed and incline. About 5 months ago I started implementing some strength training using a total gym machine at home, alternating between that and the cardio every other day. About 4 months ago the treadmill broke (literally wore out the running belt lol) so I took the cardio outside and have been running and hiking ever since! Other than exercise I've just been sticking to a low carb diet. It's honestly been working great for me and I've found it to be a more sustainable diet than a lot of the other ones out there. All in all I still have a ways to go, but I'm super happy with how far I've come; and despite what 2020 has thrown at me so far, I'm not gonna let it stop me from working on bettering myself and being the best me I can be! First photo was taken about 11 months ago in XXXL clothes; the second photo I took in the fitting room yesterday when I realized I'm now a size M! [link] [comments] |
| Hit 305 and it's time to stop. Posted: 11 Aug 2020 08:14 AM PDT So couple months ago I hit 300 lbs. I've hit 305 on the worst days, most recently yesterday. I filmed myself training my dog for a web class and just wanted to vomit seeing the video. I can't even walk properly, my feet look like they will snap at any minute. My waist is 47 inches. That's a lot and it's going to kill me. Most of my weight is in my midsection, the most dangerous place. So I made a meal plan. I've been to a dietician in the past and found some old meal plan suggestions and based it off of that. Three square meals, one snack. Complex carbs and protein. Vegetables. Water. I have struggled with bulimia and binging in the past so my doctor recommended I don't count calories, at least not in the beginning. Just try to make sensible decisions and portion control. I have a dog and I've been really lacking in walking her. She gets lots of exercise by going to the dog park and playing fetch, but now I've been trying to walk her for atleast an hour daily. She absolutely loves it. According to Google Fit I take around 5000 steps during the day, but I want to up it to 7000. I attempted 7000 today but managed 6500 before literally collapsing into my bed. I can do this. Edit: You guys are making me ugly cry! I feel so loved and motivated. I've read every comment but don't have the time to reply right now, but I will go back and reply! The amount of support is unbelievable and makes me feel stronger, I definitely can do this!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2020 05:56 PM PDT SW: 220, CW: 175, GW: 140. I'm 5'5". Progress pic: https://imgur.com/gallery/7cnVzBv I know the poses are a little different but I looked at the pic on the right and went, "damn I have a badass body!" 🤗 I have given up so many times in the past and felt so discouraged. It's good to actually see progress especially in the leg and midsection, I'm getting much thinner. I'm at the lowest weight I've been since I was in high school. I started my journey at the end of April 2020. I've yo-yo dieted for years and finally realized I was out of excuses, with Covid I had all the time in the world to work out and get my health right. It has been very difficult but simple, CICO, eating ~1400 calories a day, and working out 5-7 times a week doing no equipment YouTube videos. Eating less than I'm burning works wonders... lol. I've just stayed consistent, getting right back on after slipping up (instead of giving up), and I am so proud of myself. Also, sadly my booty is shrinking quicker than the rest of me, but what can you do? [link] [comments] |
| I use to dread shopping for clothes and, now i just love it Posted: 11 Aug 2020 09:08 PM PDT Back when I had a BMI of 37, I hated shopping for clothes. I would look at a size 3xl and, i would have terrifying thoughts about that huge size not being able to fit me. It made me feel ashamed. Woman's clothing is particularly worse since clothes tend to be made small. I was forced to rely on men's t-shirts majority of my life because, they're obviously made larger and the elasticity stretches further. I was never able to shop in the woman's side of the store. Even a sized large in the men's section made me weary. When it comes to plus sized clothing, it's a challenge to even find any clothes that are 1x and, above in my area. Even cheap clothes at the dollar and, thrift stores. Why? Because the demand for these sizes is high in my area. Majority of the population is overweight to morbidly obese. So when new clothes arrive, they always end up being gone within a week. Basically leaving everything that's on the smaller side. Which is always is what made my shopping experience hectic. Now that im down to a BMI of 30, I can now wear a woman's Large. When I go shopping for clothes, I can actually find my size without any hassle. No more reaching into the back of the rack for the biggest size they have. No more dealing with the limited number of plus sized clothes. No more ugly beige granny pants. No more guessing games of, "will a 2xl be too tight on me?" I'm starting to fit into normal sized clothes and, it feels great. As I continue to size down, the more cute fashionable clothing options appear. I can finally wear a pair of 14 sizes jeans that aren't made from stretchy material. I use to be a size 24 and, I never want to go back to that point in my life ever again. [link] [comments] |
| I now weigh less than the last time I gave up Posted: 12 Aug 2020 02:39 AM PDT SW: 450 lbs CW: 358 lbs A few years ago I was on a roll getting my weight down after many years of losing control. At one point I had gotten to a weight of about 360 lbs. Then as time went by I hit a wall and I wasn't emotionally mature enough to handle it and didn't have the right support group at the time to push me back on the right track. So I turned to binge eating again and extreme dieting which only made me feel worse. Soon enough around 2018 I had reached my highest weight at 450 lbs. I did small changes here and there and eventually got to about 365, but then me and my partner went through a rough patch and I lost the will to continue with it and I practically put the weight back on. Now in May of this year I decided I wanted to build a new foundation for myself that wasn't a thrown together half assed attempt. I brushed up on what I knew and learned more and just kept building new routines. Somethings I started to do to help was - writing in a daily mood journal about my day my feelings and so on and so forth. Being able to read my times of lows for inspiration to reach my highest of highs really helped me to push my self
Since then I've been able to expand my workout routines to nature hikes, resistance band exercises, full body workouts. I practice keto and OMAD and extended water fasts. So today I weigh in this morning as 358 lbs, two pounds less than when I gave up. I like to joke that it took me 5 years to lose 2 lbs. But really it took me 5 years to realize I was worth putting in the effort to make my life more fulfilling and healthy, its something I deserve and now its something I'm being able to earn.

| How to trick yourself to balance your calories Posted: 11 Aug 2020 11:41 PM PDT I started doing this a while ago. Sometimes, I have my calories planned out for the day and ate them. And then comes my beautiful roommate and brings me a snack. Let's say 500-700kcal. And now I'm this amount of calories over my goal and would like to balance that out by eating less the next two days. So I log in my calories for today and I'm in the red and try to eat less the next two days. Isn't nice, isn't it? My solution: Don't put the snack in for today. Eat it today for sure. But cut the calories in half and put them in for tomorrow and the day after. It's so hard for me to remember I have to leave 200/300/400kcal free those days. So I just put them in beforehand. They are logged anyway, so why not give yourself a little heads up? [link] [comments] |
| Just hit 50% of my goal today and wanted to say thanks. Posted: 11 Aug 2020 02:42 PM PDT I've never posted here before but I lurk quite a bit and read posts to learn and stay motivated. As a professional chef I have consistently had weight problems but I finally decided to dedicate myself, lose 80 lbs, and get down to a healthy weight. After three and a half months I stepped on my scale this morning and saw I hit the 50% mark for my goal weight and I couldn't be happier. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone in this community for teaching and helping me stay motivated. Rule 10 stuff: healthier food choices, portion control, exercising more regularly. (I don't really feel as though I have anything to add that hasn't already been said on this sub but if anyone wants more detail I'm more than happy to answer questions in the comments.)

| I'm finally overcoming the "go all the way" mindset Posted: 11 Aug 2020 07:08 PM PDT I had my period last week and had these mad cravings, so after a long time I decided to have a chimichanga. Normally I would consume all of it in one sitting and then devour a bunch of other stuff because I had "eaten all this so I may as well throw in the towel and start tomorrow". Instead I ate the meal for both lunch and dinner because I actually. Felt. Full. And I recognized it. I've been having ground flax in water every day so that's been helping me stay full. I also prepped my next meal so that I didn't end up ordering food again (which would obviously be junk). This might not seem a lot, but I've fought binge eating and emotional eating a lot the past one year, and I finally feel like I'm making some leeway :) [link] [comments] |

| I weigh 386 pounds and I am only a 14yo boy. I need help Posted: 12 Aug 2020 04:07 AM PDT TL;DR 14yo boy has some bad luck and now needs some help finding exercises that will help him lose weight with bad ankles. The title is exactly as it says. My last weigh in was at 386 and I am sick and tired of being fat. There are a couple of reasons that I am fat, and I wont get in to all of them but at the same time I am not trying to make excuses. There are just a lot of things that have gone on in my life that have led (or helped lead me) to this point. My parents always fought leading me to take on food as a crutch to make me feel better which was the first mistake I made. And after we were forced to move 3 times in one year (due to them being unable to keep a stable job) I got bullied lots that also made me use food as a source of comfort. At the ripe old age of 12, at around 200-250lbs I started to notice that my feet were starting to hurt but I ignored it for the time being (big mistake). Me and my bum of a father fought (like punching, Door breaking etc.) and this lead to me only getting more depressed than I already was leading me to eat more ( you can see where this is going). I am now 14 and have had 2 foot re-correction surgeries to fix my morally damaged feet. This lead to an impeccable increase in weight and more depression that has lead me to not eat more but instead I decided to look in the mirror and realize that I can only change for myself. As of right now, I am eating healthy (gave up soda other than one a month and fully gave up all types of junk food like chips) and at a diet of 2000 to 2500 calories. There are 2 problems that I still have, depression and motivation/low workout possibility. The depression is something I've got to handle myself, you just sort of realize what you need to do with others or by yourself (and the depression is also fueled by my weight/low self esteem). The biggest problem that I have is my feet/ankles. While my feet feel wonders since my surgery, my ankles are not too good as I've lost lots of motion not allowing me to do a good squat or even to get down to do a push up or lunge. This in turn makes walking kind of hard too, but while it is difficult (unlike the previous mentioned impossible ones) it is still very doable. At this point I don't know who to ask as all of my family is big, and everyone other than grandparents and siblings have given up on me. I'm going to close this out with saying that I do have goals and aspirations in life, ones that require me to lose weight, and even though my family doesn't believe me, I still believe in me at least enough to save up money to buy a membership to la fitness. Thanks for listening to me ramble, and I hope you have a good day. Edit: I'll be checking post every 30 mins and responding as such. Edit2: I don't live with my close family (mother lives about 30 mins from house and father is in jail and my grandparents have decided to help me achieve my goals quite a lot so ill change the post quite a bit.

| (f) 5kg (11lbs) lost in 5weeks, how is this for pace? Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:06 AM PDT Hi, first post so hopefully it's ok, I checked the rules of the sub and it seemed appropriate! I am 25F, 5ft3, SW93kg CW87kg GW65kg. I've basically never lost weight in a sustained or healthy fashion, and have history of ED through Highschool. But I'm so excited to have finally found reddit communities that nuture a positive sustainable approach to losing weight and getting healthy! But because of my previous warped mentality with weightloss I really can't tell how I'm tracking with my progress? I use CICO, IF (have missed a few days) and try and get at least 30min of physical activity in every day (All big shifts from binging couch potato). I'm happy regardless and finally in mental space where it's not guilt and punishment driven but looking ahead to seeing this as long term changes to my life, but wondering if this progress reflects me being a bit slack (I'll admit sometimes I just can't make myself go for that cold winter walk xD) and if I should be a bit more disciplined? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 11 Aug 2020 06:16 PM PDT First time posting so hopefully it's all right - just wanted to put it out into the world to make it feel more real. I find it pretty hard to talk about this stuff out in the real world but I'm pretty proud and want to shout it into the internet void. 12 weeks ago NZ had just come out of lockdown and I'd spent it very stressed about my personal life and my drinking (which is pretty bad normally) was making me feel awful. I jumped on the scales out of curiosity and I was 85.6kg (188 pounds). I'm a ~167cm tall (~5ft 5) 24 year old female which going by bmi meant I was technically obese.....that just did not compute. I didn't even think I was overweight! But I wasn't a serious athlete that could justify the excess weight as muscle. I still don't really understand but something clicked and I was ready to make a serious change. 12 weeks ago I seriously cut back on alcohol from a bottle of wine a night to maybe a glass if I'm out at dinner or 2 beers on a Saturday night. I've never felt better and I dropped A LOT of weight very quickly when I first stopped. 12 weeks ago I started a marathon training plan. I run five days a week and cover some serious distances. I did a half marathon last weekend and got my personal best time of 2hrs 5mins. Not crazy fast but I'm so proud. 12 weeks ago I started paying attention to what and how much I was eating. It's the hardest part and I don't think I'll ever get used to not just eating whatever I want but I feel so much better it's worth it. 12 weeks ago I weighed 85.6kg and today I weigh 68.6kg (151 pounds). It's pretty unreal and i never knew that I'd be capable of doing it. I feel so much happier and constructive, my body feels better and I'm taking photos of myself again (didn't even pick up that I'd stopped). I feel like I've got motivation back, I have goals and things I want to achieve for myself. TLDR, got a reality check 12 weeks ago. Lost 17kgs (~38 pounds) by stopping the alcohol, actually paying attention to what I eat and running (a lot). [link] [comments] |
| Early days but I'm so proud of myself. Didn't think I had it in me. Posted: 11 Aug 2020 05:13 PM PDT I've been logging all of my 1200 calories meals and making the choice to move daily for 10 days straight now. Last night, I did a 40 minute workout video instead of slumping onto the lounge which used to be the norm after I put my kids to bed. My 3 year old came out and just rested on the lounge but I was just happy that she was seeing me do that instead of coming out to me being a blob. I've never gotten this far into making good choices. I'd go without binging because of lack of appetite with stress but never out of just willpower. I honestly didn't think I had it in me. I've have strong cravings but I'm able to ask myself why I want that particular thing, it usually comes down to habit, taste, texture and boredom. I can identify that and move on from the craving now. I just keep telling myself to keep going and I'll have lost the weight that I want to lose. I know 10 days is nothing but it's significant for me and probably for some of you too. Lost 2kgs so far, 28kgs to go. TLDR; I'm doing it. [link] [comments] |
| Running with LoseIt - 8/11/2020 - Heart Rate Myths and Misunderstandings Posted: 12 Aug 2020 12:14 AM PDT This is a weekly post for the runners of LoseIt. All levels of runner are welcome, from first timers to experienced marathoners. We welcome someone who just ran for the first time or is just starting couch to 5K (r/c25k) as eagerly as someone who has thousands of miles of experience. This post is for sharing your progress. From training you got in this last week, your first run, a virtual race, or a real race, we'd love to hear what you did. Got a running related NSV (non-scale victory), we'd love to hear. Have a question or need advice, we are here to help. In addition to sharing your progress each week, I ramble on about some topic related to running. This week, heart rate myths and misunderstandings. Heart Rate Myths and MisconceptionsAlways, and I mean it without exception, young or old, see a doctor before starting any new exercise plan if you have any concerns. Your Heart Rate is likely not the Standard FormulaThere is a standard formula used for max heart rate -- 220 less your age. As you get older, your rate goes down. Young folks can have 200bpm pop up on their Apple watch and be working as hard as me when at 52 I'm hitting 175bpm. This formula is widely used. If you have some heart rate measuring watch and you haven't done anything other than enter your age and basic details, this is what you are using. Here's the problem -- this can easily be off by +/- 20bpm though and is commonly off by +/- 10bpm. Here's some of the science here :https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3935487/ What does this mean for you? Well, it can mean you watch is over or under calculating your effort. What can you do? Actually try to figure out your max heart rate. This is crazy hard to do for most people when they first start out. But here's all sorts of ways to do it -- https://www.polar.com/blog/calculate-maximum-heart-rate-running/ There is nothing wrong with heart rates that deviate from the formulaI've seen people very confused by Fitbits or Garmins or Apple watches reporting they are in a high zone or aerobic zone from just walking around. They go out and post about their rate never getting very high when doing 30 minutes of burpees or being way high walking the dog. This is simply your heart rate. You aren't dying because you hit 120bpm on easy stroll. You also aren't going to have a heart attack if you hit 210bpm if you are young with a higher than normal max bpm. There's also the naturally low folks. They go out and can't get over 165bpm doing crossfit when everyone else is get 190+bpm. I know someone, under 25 years old, who could not top 150bpm. They aren't phoning it in, they just have a lower rate at the same effort. When they walk around they might barely touch 75bpm. You need to ultimately listen to your body and follow your perceived effort (often ranked by the rating perceived effort scale, or RPE) as a control for heart rate variation. Here's a great article on RPE vs. heart rate. https://www.mountainpeakfitness.com/blog/rpe-the-problems-with-solely-relying-on-hr Your Max Heart Rate is not dangerousThis one I see often as well. "I hit the max heart rate for 5 minutes during my run this morning! Am I going to hurt myself?" You aren't going to hurt yourself if you are healthy and cleared to exercise. But, you are running too fast for training. Slow down unless you are doing a strenuous all out workout or running a 5K race. Here's the thing -- I've sat at or near my max heart rate at the end of all my PR 5Ks and 10Ks. If you exercise regularly and training for it, a sustained effort at max heart rate is often the peak performance you want to get that new personal record. It's not a problem, it's not dangerous -- it's the goal. It is something though that you want to recover from -- so if you are hitting your max heart rate regularly, make sure there's a day off or easy days in your schedule. Easier efforts at lower heart rates aren't good as hard efforts at high heart ratesThis is a misconception about training. Easy can get you where you are going when match with a modest bit of hard effort. Are you training to be fast for a long (5K+) distance run? Then easier efforts are a big part of training for that run. Easier efforts for longer periods result in endurance gains with tiny recovery debt. You can go run an easier 60 minutes twice a week and do as much for yourself than harder 20 minute run every day. For a 5K training plan, someone who runs 60 minutes 3 times a week easy and one 30 minute hard run may perform as well as someone who runs 6 days a week for 30 hard minutes. More time running wins -- mostly. The best training plans mix lots of lower efforts to keep endurance adaptations happening with modest amounts of high intensity efforts to keep performance/speed progressing. There's no good plan doesn't have both hard and easy effort mixed together. Easy Runs in Zone 2 are Way Easier than you ThinkRecovery for easy runs are to be done in a low range of 60-70% of your max heart rate. Say for me at 175bpm max using the simplest formula/math an easy run is under 122bpm. Well, for many (including me) this will likely mean going really easy from the first glacial stride and walking up hills and or integrating walking breaks to keep to this range. The result to your endurance improvement is still there just as if you ran the whole thing a little harder -- trust me. Most people do recovery or easy runs way too hard. If you work hard to run 9 minute miles, your recovery runs should likely be 10:30-11 minute miles. (For me my harder efforts are more like 11 minute miles and my easy runs are 12:30-13:00 minute miles.) But our egos and being lapped by everyone will likely keep you from going this slow (more than the zone pointer on your watch or phone). Running easy and figuring out how to do this unlocks how to run miles upon miles upon miles without injury or fatigue. And, over time, your easy run will get faster and faster. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Aug 2020 04:37 PM PDT I've recently put a post on here about my SO wanting to leave me, and subsequently longing for an ex, because of a two stone weight gain. I know I wasn't the person I was before, but I'm realising that in more ways than one, that my physical appearance was ultimately becoming to reflect how I felt inside and since getting 'back on the wagon' with keeping my health in check, your comments have only fuelled and kept me in motivation of such actions. Sometimes it's just nice to say thank you, thank you for being a community that cares when all other options (or words) seem bleak. You are all wonderful. Anyone else on this journey, know that you are worth the fight for, even when it doesn't seem so. Loving yourself is enough, and sometimes - you find out that others love you for you too. Thank you.

| Posted: 11 Aug 2020 11:59 AM PDT In January I went to the doctor shortly before my 22nd birthday and found out I weighed 388 lbs. I'm a former football player who always "needed" to be "Big" and that's just not the case anymore. I then went on vacation and was quarantined working from home, so I'm sure I actually weighed more than that when I started eating better and exercising. June 14th I started my journey. I started out doing keto by just eating meats, cheese, and salads, since I've modified it some focusing more on my macros and calorie count. I wanted to lose 40lbs in the first two months, by August 14th. I weighed in this morning at 348, 3 days early! I truly think I have changed my way of thought about food and have made some life saving decisions. [link] [comments] |
| Just screwed up bad for the first time in almost three months of doing this Posted: 11 Aug 2020 06:48 PM PDT I am sooooo discouraged. I don't know what came over me. I started at 274. I have been doing CICO consistently for almost two months straight. For the past two weeks, I was stuck at a plateau of 240. Today I FINALLY broke through the plateau and hit a new record weight of 235 after doing a two hour straight jog/walk earlier today. I decided to go get some cat food at the store already at 1000 calories having ate today, and I don't know WTF happened... but next thing I know I am home eating three fried chicken tenders and three bags of candy. (Good & Plenty and two bags of different flavor jolly ranchers) I managed to stop myself after eating about 25% of two bags and 5% of the third. I don't even want to guess how many calories I just blew through, and I've already thrown them in the trash. Now I am terrified to even get back on the scale because I know I probably ruined the plateau that I just broke through. SOOOO discouraging, and I don't know how badly I set myself back now. :-( [link] [comments] |
| 25F, 220lbs, need advice for weight loss and possibly developing diabetes Posted: 12 Aug 2020 04:19 AM PDT I really don't know if I have diabetes or even onset diabetes, Dr Google has told me tho that I have a key symptom that may indicate diabetes (strong, sweet smelling urine). This is my only symptom and I know lots of things can cause this but I'm still worried. I have an upcoming (real) Dr appointment but I'm looking for advice on what I can do now to specifically prevent diabetes. I've been working on healthier eating, trying to stay under 2k cal/day. Unfortunately, I'm still dealing with a hip injury so all exercise I do is less intense and as low impact as I can. I also work from home thanks to the Rona, since March from gained about 20lbs. Any advice is greatly appreciated, TIA! [link] [comments] |

| I restarted yesterday because 15 pounds gained really impacted my health Posted: 11 Aug 2020 06:02 PM PDT Stats: 22F, 5'8, Highest weight 193, lowest weight 152. Current weight is somewhere between 165-170. I gained 15 pounds May 2019. 5 pounds last fall, then started antidepressants and factor in the situation that's been going on since spring, I gained another 10 this year. You're laughing, saying 15 pounds is nothing compared to people who gain 50 back in a year. But I had to do a pre-employment physical for my internship back in June. Blood results said I have very high "bad" cholesterol and my glucose was higher than it was when I was at my heaviest (only a couple points from pre-diabetes during the recent test). I was interestingly ""healthy"" at 193 pounds. Last December my mom got diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. She's worked hard to lose weight and get it under control, but this stuff has me scared, as a young individual who is supposed to be fearless and not be worried about cholesterol and diabetes at my weight. I wanted to lose just another 10 pounds back in 2018 when I was at my lowest. Now I'm looking to lose 25. I wanted to try many times the past two years but mentally wasn't in it. I couldn't commit, even after losing 40 pounds with calorie counting and exercise. No matter how easy I made it for myself, I binged and baked cookies and ate 24 in one day because I'm a sugar addict who will keep stuffing cake and candy no matter how much my stomach hurts. Yesterday I started again, I came out +50 calories than I planned but it's ok. Today I came out +100 calories than I planned. But I DIDN'T BINGE. I didn't feel controlled by food yesterday or today. I didn't cave in to over eating "just because I can." I made a commitment to myself to stick with it. I'll do my first weigh in next Monday after I move this weekend. [link] [comments] |
