| Posted: 09 Sep 2020 04:43 PM PDT A lot of my eating problems come from food scarcity during childhood/teenager years so one of my bad habits is to EAT IT ALL. Thank goodness, food scarcity is no longer an issue for me and my family. But it's still hard wired that I need to eat as much as I can out of meals. It's taken a year or so after realizing that to getting to the point of managing that I'm at now. Tonight is chili night. I fucking love chili and cornbread and I consider it mid range healthy. Instead of filling my bowl and grabbing four cornbread pieces, I got just a small portion of both and happily ate it knowing that I can have some more later. It's a wonderful feeling that I get to look forward to chili TWICE today because I planned and portioned to basically have my dinner twice. And I'm not overeating. This is so much more satisfying than eating a huge bowl in one sitting. [link] [comments] |
| NSV: I'm a person who uses the hotel fitness center when I'm on vacation Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:20 AM PDT Over a few years' time, I've lost over 50 lbs, going from a high of 171 (my "scary weight") to about 118 currently (I'm a 5'1" 35 yo woman). I did this by starting with Weight Watchers. I liked WW because it pushed me to choose whole, healthy foods - lots of fruit and veg and chicken breast, most especially because those are considered "0 point foods" that you don't have to strictly track. I understand why this wouldn't work for a lot of people, but it did/does for me because my weight gain didn't come from eating too much healthy food, it came from eating a lot of crap and eating it often. Over time many of my habits have changed. When I want a snack I pick a piece of fruit, a string cheese or cut up veg instead of chips or cookies. When I do want something like dessert or salty snacks, I have it but I don't go crazy. I cook almost all my meals at home. I've drastically cut down my alcohol intake. I still love going out maybe once every month or two, but I'm no longer guzzling down a bottle of wine while I watch Netflix. I make sure to do some form of exercise daily, even if only walking. On my "rest" days I still get at minimum 10k steps. I'm close to having VISIBLE ABS! Today I noticed a new NSV - I'm on vacation and I got up this morning and used my hotel fitness center to run on the treadmill. I also brought my yoga mat with me so I don't miss any of my 90 day yoga challenge (Lesley Fightmaster, I love you). I just never would have pictured myself being this person who values fitness and health this way. I've even idly considered going back to school for something health/fitness related. I wanted to share because I want people to know: you can change. You can do what you want to do and become who you want to become. I'm 35 years old and I feel better than I did when I was 20. Get out there and crush your goals! ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Things extra weight does to your body that you may have never noticed Posted: 09 Sep 2020 10:14 AM PDT Hi everyone! I'm about 5 lbs from my goal weight. I'm posting here as I've made some observations about my pre weight loss body and my post weight loss body.
I'm sure there's so many other things that weight loss has changed for my body that I haven't noticed yet, if you've noticed something else not listed feel free to share! I'm posting this because it is a reminder of how extra weight truly affects us, even in ways that one wouldn't think could be related. It's a reminder that I don't want to live like that again, so many things I deprived myself of, that I put myself through unnecessarily. Never again. Never. [link] [comments] |
| All of your "failed" weight loss attempts are progress in your current journey. Posted: 09 Sep 2020 08:23 PM PDT I have been trying to lose weight for the past 4 years of my life. I never succeeded at losing weight until this year when I started to get serious. In the past, I would try to eat healthier and work out, and these efforts would last for at most a week, and I would then return to my old habits. I continued this cycle for years. I would probably have a week long running kick, go to the gym once a week, and consciously eat cleaner 10% of the time. With these half-hearted approaches, I never lost weight. I would always kick myself for "failing" once again. I felt that my one hour spent at the gym, that salad I had last night, and that mile I ran two weeks ago were for naught. At one point I accepted that I would never lose weight and would be overweight unless some magic pill made me shed 30 pounds. But then I realized--those "failed" weight loss attempts were the first steps that got me to where I am today. That 10% of clean eating, once a week gym visits, and 5 miles ran / month helped me maintain my weight for over two years. Yeah, I was still overweight, but I stopped gaining weight. I stopped the problem from getting worse, and if I hadn't had all of those failures, I would probably have 80 pounds--instead of 35--to lose. Even if you have still gained weight through your perceived failures, that small amount of effort did something, and you can use what you learned through each failure to move closer to success the next time you try again. I know there's no way of knowing what you would be like had you done something (or not done something) sooner, but don't wallow in your past attempts. Accept them, be glad that you tried, and be aware of what worked and did not work through these efforts. Y'all got this! Nothing worth having is easy to get, so keep pushing. Know that whatever you do today can put you a little bit closer to your goals. [link] [comments] |
| About 3 months of hard work and I'm down about 40lbs now and fit in XL shirts again. Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:55 AM PDT Hey everyone. I just wanted to post my progress pics mostly to give others hope out there. It's been a tough road for me to start losing weight again for many different reasons. I've had many different life things keep my attention away from eating healthier and working out. I've been doing regular intermittent fasting every day. I eat 3 meals, 1 at 8 1 at 10 and 1 at noon. I don't really limit myself too harshly on calories, but I don't overdo things. I walk my treadmill at about 2 mph for 30 mins at an incline once in the morning and once when I get home. I burn about 400 calories total from it. It has been working great for me and it hasn't been too difficult to keep up with. Unfortunately, I didn't take any great before pics, but I have one of me on a trip at my start weight and I bought the same shirt recently in an xl in a different color for comparison. keep working hard guys and we can all do it, just stay strong and maintain your good habits! EDIT: Thanks for the kind words everyone! [link] [comments] |
| For me, losing weight has turned into an entire re-think on how I take care of myself Posted: 09 Sep 2020 07:02 PM PDT Sorry if this is long, I just wanted to share this in case any of y'all can relate and/or need encouragement, commentary, etc. For reference, I am 5'9" 23F, SW: 196 (that blood pressure tho) CW: 185 GW: 150s ish, wherever I look good in healthy BMI but is not a pain to maintain Ok. So, before starting my journey, I think I was like most typical Americans. I got up in the morning, either skipped breakfast and/or made something that was super unhealthy but quick, and sped off to work. The rest of the day followed a similar tone: what can I doordash to my office that is quick and tasty for lunch? I'm in the south, so usually Chik-fil-A or girl, mama loves her some Cane's chicken! Dinner, luckily my husband loves to cook but he serves insane portion sizes, bless his heart. Forget working out, after all that food i didn't feel even close to working out or going for a walk. Many of my other self care routines and/or choices followed that same tone that was routed in convenience. I straightened (see: torched at 450 degrees) my naturally super curly hair once a week because it was quick and easy and I could just straighten flyaways every other morning the rest of the week. My skincare consisted of washing my face with body soap at times, which I would never do now. And I wondered why my rosacea was so bad! My sleep schedule was whack. In contrast: I cook most of my meals at home now and do CICO. I take the time to do lunch prepping. I still enjoy Cane's and my husband's cooking, but in measured out portions. I wake up a little early to put together a healthy breakfast as opposed to a quick one (and found they are not mutually exclusive). Even though I'm busy with work most of the time, I find time to workout because it is important and now it just feels like me time, and I like me time. I have found a new love for hiking on the weekends and checking out new parks around my area, so my horizons have been expanded in that sense. I have built new habits around sleep, like having a solid bed time, only using the bed for sleep, and journaling before bed to get time away from my phone and practice being mindful. This has reshaped how I think about the other things I do for myself. I am in the process of transitioning back to my natural hair and taking the time to learn about hair products and embracing my curls, which has actually proved to be really fun. (PS, if you are a curly girl who straightens, no hate! It is whatever works for you! I'm sure it looks amazing!) Thanks to another subreddit, I am experimenting with skin products that make my skin look much healthier and feel a lot less irrate. So, TLDR I can credit weight loss and practicing mindfulness with what I put into my body to doing so elsewhere in my self care rituals, instead of relying on convenience. It's almost like ok, I am improving this aspect of myself with success, what else can I improve? And trying to pull a major glow-up. Because time invested in yourself is time and love you can give back to others. [link] [comments] |
| We are so focused on our physical diet that we seem to forget our mental diet also. Posted: 09 Sep 2020 05:23 AM PDT Physical diet helps us lose weight but we often don't think about our mental diet. We need positive energy coming in, and going out. I've been obese my entire life with a family that is also obese and my entire weight loss journey there will be toxic remarks of "you look like a skeleton, you have an eating disorder, you have lost enough weight you are bones" Or even when I was fat it was sugar coating bs like "you arent fat! just big boned and stocky!" Remember, your success is a spotlight shining down on their missed opportunities. These things can really get to your head, even if you "ignore them." Remember to replace this negative energy with positive energy, whether it's motivational videos, progress pics, music whatever it may be. They always ask why I always have my headphones in, this is the exact reason. I'm focusing on creating a better future for myself. Physically, mentally, etc. I don't need to listen to bullshit judgements that aren't true. Give me advice, give me honest criticism, but don't call me a skeleton when I was still in the overweight category. My older brother, who has always been slim told me days ago "lol, you only live once, eat all the food you want and just workout or whatever." Really? Yeah that's what led me to 220 lbs all my life, eating more, great advice.. People always encourage you to lose weight at first, but as you start getting in shape, their tone shifts and once you get in better shape than them...thats when the judging starts happening, because as I said, your success is just a spotlight, and they can't handle the fact that they failed and didn't get back up off their ass to keep going, but you did..and that's why you're successful, every single day, every single week. Positive energy. Take in as much as you can, and give it back to the world. Give credit where it's due. Clap to those who deserve it, because before you know it, you'll be an inspiration to thousands of people and they'll be clapping to you too. [link] [comments] |

| F/18/5'5"/190 lbs - Finally, I'm going to the next step Posted: 09 Sep 2020 02:12 PM PDT I really have strugled with eating a normal portion of food my whole life, that's majorly why i was always fat even as a kid, I don't remember the last time I was in a healthy weight. Anyway, this quarantine, this year, I was finally able to eat like a person lol and ACTUALY MAINTAIN IT, I'm freaking out lmao so happy I did this. The thing is, I actually stopped thinking about food all the time and focused on other things like study, video games, literature club, learning new languages, program, etc. Sorry if I'm talking too much. Now the next step for me is to maintain a routine of exercises, I'm going try to do cardio every day and hopefully stick to it. If any of you guys have tips and advices pls share with me!!

| Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:32 AM PDT I am 38/M/6'3/330lbs. I lost about 40lbs 7 years ago doing Keto. It was so demoralizing gaining that weight back. Now I am heavier than I have ever been. Depressed, drunk, self medicating, shitty husband, shitty dad, just feeling shitty with no light. I am 3 weeks into counting macros and calories (except weekends), 2 weeks into working out 3 days a week. I am ready now. Starting yesterday, I plan to not drink for 4 weeks. Count macros and calories 7 days a week. Working out 5 days. It took a couple weeks to get the momentum moving but I am ready. I feel better, and I see the first glimpse of light. I have been waiting for this feeling for years and it's here. I am going to fucking crush this. No scale for now. Just slow progress. Good habits. Slow and steady. This one is for me.

| Posted: 09 Sep 2020 11:27 PM PDT Hey everyone! I am mainly on here for some accountability to finally finish my goals. I realized I needed to start losing weight earlier this year. I stopped out at 247 pounds, and being a 20 year old male, the thought of not being able to play ball with my kids or go for runs with my friends really started to weigh me down, pun unintended. So in April this year, I got a very stressful office job while also going to school full time. I'm not kidding, I would go to bed at 3 in the morning and need to be at work by 7 or 8, sometimes earlier, and often stay late. It was horrible, and my grades suffered. But at the same time, I unintentionally started dieting. I had no time to eat breakfast in the morning because I usually woke up late, couldn't eat lunch because I was so busy at work, and usually only had a yogurt before crashing for a short nap before studying the rest of the night. By June, I had lost around 20 pounds and was fitting into my clothes better. Now, I'm ready to kick the rest of this weight to the curb. I'm hovering at 220 pounds now, and my next goal is 200. My final goal is 180, but I find I do better with incremental changes. Wish me luck!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:53 AM PDT This is a post that's half celebratory and half for advice. I did not grow up in a water drinking household. My parents had coffee in the morning, then my dad would switch to Coke and my mom to tea. Us kids had milk with meals and kool-aid the rest of the time. Except for school water fountains and sports practices I didn't really drink water, and this carried over into adulthood since I wasn't used to it.I've been trying to do better because drinking calories is a waste and a lot of drinks have too much sugar, plus I know that water is really important for weight loss. Where I live, most people have 20 Liter jugs of water in their houses, and whenever it finishes we order another one. When I first came here about 5 years ago (before I got serious about weight loss) that jug would last me like 5 weeks. Disgusting I know. The good news is that since trying to be more conscientous of my water intake, Ive gotten that down to 2 weeks! But my goal is to finish it in 10 days. Every new jug, I tell myself "This will be the one!" and then when it finishes and I check the dates, it's always 13-14 days. This is a big increase in water intake for me and I'm proud of that, but I would still like to drink more and hit that 2L/day mark. So, how do you make sure you get your water in? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Sep 2020 07:06 PM PDT Okay so I used to have night cravings. It was so bad that I couldn't think without downing a whole bag of flamin hot cheetos. However, I found a trick that might help you fight the cravings, just like it helps me. The trick? Brush your teeth! My father always told me that if you sleep with food in your mouth, in his words: "you finna get the Black Teeth" (he means cavities). For me, because he burned that sentence into my brain for years, I noticed that when I brush my teeth at night, my cravings just drop. I worry that if I eat, then I wasted my time brushing my teeth, on top of extra calories. Then I think: "or...you know...just don't eat....". Thats what I've been doing. Might help you too. Goodluck with the weight loss guys! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 09 Sep 2020 06:53 AM PDT Hey people of the world! I'm currently 22 and weigh about 300 pounds. I'm not disabled in any shape or form, I guess I'm just lazy. I'm not happy with my current state so I decided to start today. My journey to a healthier life. I come from a Spanish household so greasy food and beer is a go to for the weekends. I just had a 3 day bender of greasy food and a whole lot of beer and I feel utterly disgusting. My life seems like it's heading to nowhere, but to diabetes and liver failure. I guess my whole goal of this is to join the army by 23, my birthday is on July so it'll give me about a year of dedication. I'm 5'8 and have done research about it and I need to be at about 181, so that gives me 120 pounds of fat that I need to burn. I just felt that I needed to tell someone :). Well, wish me well! I don't want to update daily but I'll update weekly. Whether or not anybody is reading but mainly as a personal tracker lol. Well here I go! Any advice would be appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Just lost 13lbs in 6 weeks - more than I was able to lose in an entire year previously Posted: 09 Sep 2020 12:03 PM PDT I've lost weight before, but it was painfully slow and I did it under the guidance of a personal trainer. It took me a year of personal training and calorie counting to even lose 10lbs, but I say I was pretty successful in converting fat to muscle though. However, once training ending, it wasn't sustainable for me. I found I had to work out non stop and count every calorie to maintain my weight. I also have chronic illness so if I was sick for a week, I'd gain back pounds so fast and fight to keep them off. Since that time I tried a lot of things to at least keep my weight at a healthy and manageable level for me, but nothing worked. I watched the scale keep climbing. I went from S in clothes to L and XL. I tried all these fad diets, I kept cutting my calories low, probably to some dangerous levels, I had the doctor run all sorts of tests, NOTHING WORKED. I read books, I did research, I crawled around on reddit looking for women with experiences like mine. I've always suspected my trouble with weight was related to having endometriosis and the hormone imbalance it causes along with years of meds that many feel slow down metabolism. There's not a lot of actual research in the area of endo at all, let alone the impact on weight, but one thing I did learn was that extra fat could feed estrogen, which in turn fed the disease. I also knew it could lead to less inflammation. During covid I had (TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS NEXT SENTENCE) 2 miscarriages, which are common with my disease. It was sort of the kick in the butt I needed to really try something again even though I'd given up hope. I decided to try keto, as sort of a last ditch effort. I didn't expect it to work, and I didn't expect to enjoy it. But I wanted to at least try it because I'd read it can be a good choice for people with stubborn fat, and a good choice for infertility. So I researched the hell out of, spoke with my doctor, lined up the right electrolytes, and was shocked when the weight and inches started melting off. I've been on Keto for 6 weeks. The first big batch of weight loss was water weight for sure. You shed a lot of water once you lower carbs to the point of ketosis, because you don't need all that water to process carbs anymore. But even just losing the water weight was encouraging as I am someone who always looks puffy and squishy from it. Then it's just been fairly consistent about 1-3lbs a week depending on my eating and how much activity I get in. Even when my illnesses flare up, I'm going up maybe half a pound to a pound and then it comes right back down. I'm enjoying all the dietary changes a lot. I switched to a konjac based pasta. I was skeptical but I actually like it more than regular pasta now because it doesn't sit so heavy in my belly. I switched to the dreaded cauliflower rice and cauliflower pizza crust. Again, was surprised I liked it better. I'm a big choc-o-haulic and I switched to really dark choc, and some keto-approved choc snacks and they're perfect for kicking the craving for me. I drink loads more water. I actually feel full for a change and never overeat anymore. I thought it would be hard at restaurants but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I don't know what it is but cutting carbs specifically seems to have been the magic thing I needed. I am not sharing this to necessarily endorse keto. it can be dangerous if it's not done properly, dehydration can come easily, and you should 100% talk to your doctor. But I wanted to share it for those of you who also feel like you've tried everything and see nothing but either no results or results that crawl. I've lost more right now than I did in a year. That's crazy. I'm hoping to do another month and a half of keto to reach my goal weight, and then I'm going to try and stop worrying about the scale number and start focusing on the muscle percentage. While I've been doing some working out, I'm going to up everything and focus on building muscle. I think I will keep the low-carb life style, but perhaps not keto style low forever. Opinions are divided on if keto is safe long term or should just be short, but for my specific situation my doc thinks 3 months is a good benchmark. It may be worth it for any women struggling with hormones issues to investigate for sure. I tried everything before!!! So 6 weeks, 34f, keto, down 13lbs, and down 3-4 inches in all the main chubby areas (even boobs sadly, haha) [link] [comments] |
| Cant lost more weight after losing 7 kgs. F 5'3 SW 77kg CW 69kg GW 54 kg Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:23 AM PDT I started my weight loss journey from 77 kgs in March and reached 70 kg in July After that I plateaued for a while and then lost one more kg in mid August. Since then I am not losing weight. It's been almost a month now. Earlier I was losing 1 kg every 10-15 days. I don't know what I am doing wrong. My weight is fluctuating like crazy between 70kg to 69 kgs. I have been eating 1300 calories a day since March and have not changed my diet at all. I track everything I eat obsessively. I started a new HIIT routine (Emi Wong youtube workouts) from 1st September. I used to do HIIT from April-July but then I quit in August and got back on it now. I track my measurements and take pictures as well. They are also not showing any changes since mid August. Please let me know any advice you have. I am losing my mind here. [link] [comments] |
| Rotisserie Chicken Breast vs Skinless Fried Chicken Breast Posted: 09 Sep 2020 10:37 PM PDT Hi! I started my weight loss journey about a month ago. I started with 83 kg and have dropped down to 78 kg, which is encouraging to me. However, I think I've hit a plateau as my weight has remained around 78 kg since last week. I'm thinking of changing both my fitness and diet routine so that I can shake things up for my body. Ever since I started my journey (all my failed journeys in the past), one thing I was never ever able to let go was fried chicken. I've been able to reduce my rice, cookie, carbonated drink intake significantly but fried chicken was the one thing I could not leave behind. As a result, I've been eating them daily and incorporating it in my current diet. The good thing is I only eat chicken breast (sometimes ribs). I recently read that it's okay to eat fried chicken breast as part of my diet as long as I remove the skin, is this true? How does this compare to a rotisserie chicken that you see in stores? If it matters, I'm male, 27, trying to get to 68-70 kg area. My tummy is noticeable and while I'm not looking for a six pack or anything, it'd be great to not have bloated tummy and love handle.

| Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:59 AM PDT I know this has probably been asked 30 million times, but I'm so exhausted mentally that I just need someone to show me the way. (Also, its 3:47 AM. I'm dead tired so apologies for typos) To be frank, I need to lose weight. I'm around 300-320 pounds. I may be 6'1, but I'm still miserably obese. I wanted to dodge it, avoid it, but I can't anymore. i'm just fat and unhealthy. I want to change. I want to lose weight for good. I know the basic steps, eat in moderation, make baby steps, etc, but I always end up eating like shit again. Not only do I regret eating like a pig, but I order food and regret spending the money! Still, I find that I have almost no self-control and go back to eating caloric food. I'm not motivated at all either, I just feel disgusting but not enough to do anything. However, I NEED to hurry up and change my habits. I think I have Acanthosis nigricans, and my biggest fear is diabetes. I'm literally killing myself with food. I truly am begging for help. I'm willing to throw out my current lifestyle to help myself, the weight must come off for my health. If anyone can point me the right way, it'd be such a help. If someone has a diet plan, an exercise plan, anything, please just help me. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Sep 2020 10:11 PM PDT It's time for some changes. I'm a mess. Fertility treatments/miscarriage/emotionally crap marriage/chronic pain...yeah, it took a lot to pile on this weight. But now it's time to get rid of it. I've been using food to cushion my frustration at how my life took a sharp left from what I planned/hoped for, and now? I gotta change some habits and I'm hoping joining here will help chase away some of the loneliness that I've been snacking/sugar fixing to avoid. I'm already on a stupid restricted diet for the pain (ICT) so it's hard to give up sugar when acid/spice is already banned. But I think I can do this! Noom downloaded, journal ready for venting....let's do this! [link] [comments] |
| I feel like I can never get the ball rolling in the right direction Posted: 10 Sep 2020 12:30 AM PDT F-22 HT: 5'5 SW:161.2 CW: 163.8 GW: 130-140ish Hello all. I got a bit of a frustration story here but I figured Id give you all some background because I guess I want to vent. So like most girls in our modern age I never quite felt satisfied with my body. I remember being in the 3rd grade and sitting next to a friend on the bus and comparing her thighs to my thighs and I always wondered/hated how they were bigger. I was never overweight as a child but I was not necessarily a string bean either. Anyway I always hated that I was a little bit bigger and I always wanted the tall slender features of my peers. Come highschool I was so concerned with my weight and appearance I would go days without eating and I remember for a full year I did not eat either breakfast or lunch to try and lose weight and or maintain an appearance. My lowest weight at that time was 110. I graduated and learned that most of the time that I was starving myself was due to stress and anxiety of my living situations. Leaving those situations behind I was finally able to look inward seek therapy tackle my eating disorder and learn to love and forgive myself for all the years of hate. Moving on, I'm finally in a safe and stable situation where I feel I can safely manage my weight and get to place where I am comfortable. Last year I stepped on a scale after feeling bloated and uncomfortable and I was at 156. I decided to track calories and go in a deficit. I managed to lose about 9 lbs in 6 months and it was super difficult. But then I went through some hectic life changes again and didn't track calories or step on a scale until Augustof this year and when I did it was at 161. I was super annoyed but figured I've done it before I can do it again. I decided I was going to deficit again and also do some weight lifting. However, this time around I have only seen the scale go up. I know muscle weighs more than fat and the scale doesn't mean anything and if my clothes fit better that should be a sign. However I feel like my clothes fit worse. I still feel bloated and uncomfortable and I feel like I should have seen some change by now. Anyway sorry for the novel I'm just really frustrated after stepping on the scale these past few mornings and I was hoping to get advice/encouragement. TLDR; Been in a deficit and have been lifting weights for the past 4 weeks. Scale has only gone up and I am frustrated. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Sep 2020 06:26 AM PDT So, as the titles says, i'm just very happy. Brief context, I've struggled with obesity-overweifht my whole life, being I kid I was always obese getting to 140 kg while being 1, 70 cm at 14 years old. Then one year I started working out, dropped to 120 and 1,80 cm, to finally reach 92 kg and 1,90 cm, then I kimd of relapsed getting to 120 but this year I decided to get back to my best, everything was going great and I had been losing 1kg per week since the year started, then covid hit, then things with my ex GF went to shit and I got back to 120. Well not fucking anymore, I'm going to get back on track and get back to my best beginning today. [link] [comments] |
