| I've finished losing weight (282lbs-168lbs). Posted: 18 Sep 2020 07:02 AM PDT I really have finished. I've managed to maintain for 3 months successfully, and I'm really starting to pack on some muscle. I never thought I'd get this far, and who knows where I'll end up! I never took a proper before pic because I hated what I looked like, but I took a pic on New Year's Day 2020 at 229lbs and another this morning at 168lbs and comparing the two blows my mind. I did nothing but CICO while remaining sedentary last year and went from 282-230 with just diet, but since New Year, (the before pic), I started out working out for the first time in my life, 5 times a week, while still eating at a deficit. Happy to answer questions if anyone has any. Best of luck to all of you - there is a light at the end of this tunnel! [link] [comments] |
| I (32F) HAVE TO TELL SOMEONE!!!!! Posted: 18 Sep 2020 05:13 PM PDT At my heaviest (that I can remember weighing myself) I topped out around 375lbs. I met my fiancé almost 3 years ago, and between working full time, school full time, and all my spare time spent with my man - I lost weight. Not trying. Just not having time to eat. One day my fiancé looked at me and was like, "Damn baby, you've gotten so small! Every time I wrap my arms around you, you seem smaller and smaller. And your stomach doesn't stick out past your boobs anymore!" (Lmao I love that man, but tact is not in his vocabulary). So today I sucked it up and bought a scale, because I finally made the decision to continue my weight loss journey the right, healthy way. Y'ALL!! I LOST 125LBS!!!!!!! I weigh LESS than I did when I graduated high school!!! I'm in disbelief! Now on the flip side, I'm starting to get bummed out and not continue. Y'all know morbidly obese people who lose massive amounts of weight quickly, or without exercise they end up with crazy loose skin. I didn't work out at all to achieve that loss. I'm so scared to continue, even the right way, because I don't want my skin to end up looking like a gross, oversized and stretched out tshirt. I know how superficial that sounds but it's a big thing for me. Anyone else who has achieved a ginormous weight loss like that have any advice to at least minimize loose skin as much as possible? This scaredy cat would GREATLY appreciate it. Much love!! [link] [comments] |
| Maintaining is a gazillion times more difficult than losing I kind of would like to perish Posted: 19 Sep 2020 01:05 AM PDT My relationship with food is terrible, I keep overeating, weekend binges are the new regular and I am miserable. Basically I don't know what I'm doing. How many calories do I burn by crying? But in all seriousness I had followed a diet conjured by a doctor and while it made losing weight very easy I don't think I developed any good habits nor have I made permanent lifestyle changes and so here I am, a struggling mess. It's been a difficult few months and it's almost like I need to start over 😪 (in these few months of maintenance I went back to losing a few kilos because it seemed I was gaining but I am currently back to ¿?¿---kinda---?¿? maintaining ). I'm stressed. Any advice from successful maintainers? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2020 04:43 PM PDT Finally hit the 160s, hovering round 168-169 currently. i haven't been that weight since 2017, such a great feeling! started end of february / beginning of march at 200lbs, still have 30-40 lbs to go to where i want to be but i'm halfway there! i've been biking 30-60 min a day 4-5 days a week and doing CICO. the diet has been the biggest struggle for me in all of this but i'm noticing i'm losing weight faster now that i've got a routine in place! eating mostly clean but i'm not restricting anything, just smaller portions. i noticed if i restrict myself of foods i like i will binge and feel so defeated and then just give up altogether. anyway, not much else to say. I'm just proud of myself and have no one to tell! some progress pictures [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2020 09:24 PM PDT I swear, I've been down this road, down this journey way too many times. 8 years in the gym on and off, kept quitting and kept falling off cause i was never 100% consistent and kept lacking the discipline. I've been at this roller-coaster for like 8 years, still haven't managed to tame the lion. This sort of stuff always happens. I've started back in the gym 3 weeks ago after stuffing my face from deliveries since the start of the Corona pandemic. In the back of my mind, I'm like, 'here we go again', 3 weeks in, started eating decent and clean, stayed focus on going to the gym no matter what, started feeling slimmer around the legs and stomach Then all of a sudden DoorDash/Grubhub/Ubereats are sending me all these 75% off promo codes and i feel like just giving up and letting the fat boy inside me take over and just keep telling myself "let me enjoy myself with these awesome discounted food prices" and I'll get back on track in October or November when it gets more colder. And the cycle just keeps repeating, "I'm gonna start a month later"," I'm gonna start on New Years"." I'm gonna give up and just eat my brains out and I'll think about starting again back in March because i still have 3 more months left till the Summer comes ! " Then June comes and you're like.......uhh, I'm kinda screwed. I swear, life is deliberately trying to derail your progress. NO MORE. THIS ENDS NOW. If i succumb to the food now, I'll always be a slave to it and never ever reach my end goal Thanks for reading. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2020 10:24 AM PDT M19/5'10"/SW:318/CW:297/GW:200 Well basically the title. I'm under 300lbs! Or more accurately Ive been under 300 for a week now, but I didn't want to celebrate too early. I guess I should talk about exactly what spurred me to start losing weight. I had to go in for a doctors appointment and of course I had to be weighed, and what did I weight? 318lbs. I knew I was overweight and probably even obese, but I didn't know I was that obese. I mean my BMI was 45.6 which cannot be healthy. I was fine as far as blood pressure and all that go, but I definitely wasn't going to be in the future if I kept gaining weight. I also have a family history of T2 diabetes so I want to reduce the risk or at least the impact that will have. So I downloaded Myfitnesspal and started lurking around here the next day. So at this point I'm trying to lose 2lbs a week, which puts me at 2000 calories a day. I think my biggest achievement to this point has been giving up soda. Before I probably drank around 6 cans a day. My poor teeth. Now, a little over 4 months later, Ive completely stopped drinking soda. I'm drinking a lot more water now. I still think most tap water tastes weird, but that's what water filters are for. It wasn't really as hard as I thought it would be. First I cut down to one coke a day which took me about a month. Then I decided to go a day without drinking a coke. That day sucked. The next day was a bit easier so I decided to see if I could go 2 days. That lead me to going a full week without a coke. After that I had one on the weekend, but that was it. At the beginning of September I just cut them out all together. I Think my energy levels have been far more consistent since then. I no longer require a nap at 4pm. My diet hasn't really changed that much content wise. Ive basically just stopped snacking. My sleep schedule has gotten more consistent so I'm usually not staying up as late so no late night snacking either. Which is good because "snacking" for me would be what most people would call a meal. I'm definitely a bored eater though. So Ive had to develop one of these things normal people call "hobbies". So I've been learning to play guitar and I've gotten back into reading. My plan is to lose between 1 and 2 pounds a week until I get down to 200lbs. Then I'm going to slowly lose until I'm at roughly 175. It's probably going to be another year or two before then so I don't have a really detailed plan for that time. Admittedly I'm half doing this for health reasons and half because I want to be more attractive. If you have any advice I would much appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Have a great day. [link] [comments] |
| Year Transformation! From 315 lbs. to 223 lbs. Posted: 18 Sep 2020 08:21 AM PDT Hi Everyone! (Male, 25 years old) Shared this transformation picture on my personal Instagram the other day and wanted to share it here as well since I have used this subreddit as a motivating tool for quite some time now. The picture on the left was me at 315 lbs during July of 2019, the photo on the right was me this past week in September of 2020 at 223 lbs. for a total of 92 lbs. lost in a little over a year. A lot of things contributed to my weight gain. I had lost my family pet of 18 years heading into graduate school and was something that hit me pretty hard. My graduate course put a significant level of academic stress on me that I never had before with endless readings and papers due. On top of that I was stuck in a job that I absolutely hated going to and a toxic relationship that was not beneficial for either parties. I went from around 270 lbs. (still large) to 315 lbs. in less than 8 months. On top of this I was smoking and drinking often to help cope with my issues. I knew I was in a dark place and that if I continued down the same path that would ultimately end up with me in a bad spot I could never come out of. I was scared and nervous to change but one morning had a breaking point. I woke up exhausted even though I hadn't worked out in months, went straight to the mirror and finally realized the toll my actions had taken on me. I decided right then and there that if I wanted to be happy with myself and in life that I would need to make drastic changes or face the consequences. At this time I was halfway done with my graduate program and thought that if I could finish, it would relieve much of my stress but first had to get rid of the other sources of stress that were aiding to my problems. I left my job and decided to focus solely on my program for a while until I was better. I let go of my significant other, something that I didn't want to do but understood it was what was best for the both of us due to our predicament. I then decided to start eating right and working out again to get back in shape. I had signed up for a 5K in a month and a half and a 10K a month and a half after to keep me focused and motivated. I started meal prepping healthy foods and going to the gym consistently to help my stress and anxieties that still existed from school. I mostly abided by the following rules that aided me the most in this journey:
As far as eating I really didn't do anything too crazy aside from IF. I often thought about what I ate though and when I was eating. If I had a crazy weight training workout I knew to center my food around protein and vegetables. If I went on a long run then carbs would be a smart thing to eat after. Let yourself have a cheat day! I would have a day where I would eat whatever I wanted in the IF window but I made sure I also worked out like a mad man that morning so that way it wouldn't ever set me back too far. As far as the smoking and drinking, that took a bit longer. Breakups tend to do that to you. But I'm happy to say that I have currently been sober from alcohol for almost a month now and off the other drugs for almost two months. I plan on using it again eventually but only in moderation and only once a month because I know the dangers that go hand in hand with them for me. I also found motivation in certain individuals like Joe Rogan, Lebron James, Georges St.-Pierre, The Rock, and David Goggins. I am in no way endorsing or advertising but seriously David Goggins' book "Can't Hurt Me" helped me realize a lot about myself and potential so it is something I would consider looking into if you have the time. If not, listen to him on podcasts and youtube. Really interesting individual. The others were just some of my personal favorite people to listen to talk about their life and how they got to where they are now. Another great piece of advice I can give is that please please please do not get discouraged. It's a marathon not a sprint so it will take time. Be patient and stay on the path because it will get you results. I currently am not finished with my weight loss as I want to lose another 8 pounds to make it an even 100 and then I plan on getting into both boxing and jiu jitsu for fun as it has always been something I've been interested in doing. I think this is everything I wanted to share but if you have any other questions about things I did please feel free to ask me, I would love to help anyone else out there on their journey like this subreddit did for me. Get after it everyone! [link] [comments] |
| You won’t believe how I lost 35lb! Posted: 18 Sep 2020 07:18 AM PDT Clickbait title on purpose ~ In the last 6 months I went from 180ish to 145ish. I still have 5 more lb to lose at 5'7 (GW: 140) but either way, my weight loss is clearly noticeable to other people. just cracking up thinking about everyone's face when they ask me "so how did you lose the weight??" And my reply is: "eating less, exercising more." Their shock at how simple my weight loss was is the most entertaining thing ever. People always seem to expect some magic trick. "Oh I just started adding Apple cider vinegar to my water and the weight melted off!" Or they expect that I did some extreme diet for a short period of time "oh, just two apples a day and black coffee only, I dropped 30lb in 3 weeks!" Most people have a challenging time with the concept that true sustainable fat loss comes from just - smaller portions, conscious eating (or calorie counting) and adding in some good movement to your day. That's literally it. It's not complicated. Anyway just wanted to put this somewhere, since I feel like this community would understand [link] [comments] |
| Non-scale victory I'm really proud of! Posted: 18 Sep 2020 08:38 AM PDT Hey :) just wanted to share a lil victory that happened some months ago. Back in January, around 2 weeks in my weight loss journey, I decided to clean out my closet. I found a pair of shorts that I haven't worn for ages, but as I tried to put them on, they couldn't even go up my thighs! I was a little sad, but set my goal to fit in them again, so I toss them again in the closet and forget about it. Months later, around 8kg lost, found them again. I was nervous as I tried them again, and to my surprise they were so loose that it was impossible to keep them on! I was really happy, not gonna lie. Not even sad that I couldn't wear them again, and since them, I kept on losing more kilos :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2020 12:03 PM PDT Seven months ago I made a post talking about my long long weight loss journey over the years. https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/etx1dl/its_been_a_long_journey_and_one_im_still_on_in/ Bit of an update to that as I finally seemed to have pushed past a plateau of late and want to brag on myself a bit. Last time I posted at 269 (nice) and today I'm at 238. Thru most of the summer I was stuck in the 250ish range but in the last month I started interment fasting and I think that really helped push me past where I was stuck. It's not the biggest change in the world but I can really see it in my face and weirdly enough my watch band is a great indicator too as I'm down to the last notch :) Just wanted to share with this great community and let everyone know that if I can do it so can you!

| My talent today will be holding on to 2 gallons of water weight for no reason at all Posted: 18 Sep 2020 09:23 PM PDT I'm female, 25, starting weight: 147, current weight: 144, goal weight: 128. Please enjoy my run on sentences. I have killed myself for ten weeks. TEN. For 8 of those weeks I have averaged a deficit of 1000-1200 calories a day. I have lost barely three pounds. I have lost inches all over, dropped a couple sizes, look 7-10lbs lighter, but the scale is giving me the middle finger. I've eaten healthy, I drink 3-4 qts of water a day, and I walk for literally hours a day because my health prof, that looks like he he does Boflex commercials for a living, said that walking is the most effective exercise to lose fat (if you don't know what a Boflex is then you must have grown up in one of those houses without a TV and I feel bad for you). What do I have to do, sacrifice a virgin into a volcano??? At first I decided I was gonna get my life together and eat like a functioning adult and maybe loose that extra 20 lbs I didn't need. Thing is, I'm incapable of doing anything less than 110% so for the first 4 weeks I went full throttle clean diet. I ate like one of those TV fitness bimbos with the overly tight pony tail and fake... eyelashes. Fresh fruit and vegetables, low-fat Greek yogurt, chicken and turkey. I even cut out beef and switched to soy milk in case the tinfoil hat people are right about the hormones. Given that this was mostly a lifestyle change I didn't count calories carefully however, I'm confident I ate roughly 1000 calories a day. I also averaged about 15,000 steps a day. When I lost one pound I did some research and found out for long term weight loss, plateauing is coming because the goes into some survival mode and eating a week or 2 of maintenance calories will pull you out of it. I pulled my calories up to around 1800. Zero pounds lost. Two weeks back of the diet. Zero pounds. Biology thinks it can play chicken with me? Bitch, I play to WIN. I thought maybe my college student body was confused by the sudden influx of plant life and nutrients so I added back a couple normal foods like Cheerios and yogurt. I also upped my calories to 1200 since that seemed to be the recommended minimum. I probably average 22,000 steps a day. I have carefully calculated the weight I should have lost based on my calorie intake and probable calories burned over the last 10 weeks and I should be down a MINIMUM of 16lbs. Given that I look significantly thinner I think it's reasonable to conclude that I'm holding onto water weight and there isn't a goblin in my closet that pours melted butter into my mouth when I'm sleeping. This last month I've done extensive research and tried many different things to get rid of the water weight. Many people reported eating maintenance calories for a day caused their body to release some water. Tried it twice. Nothing. Someone said drink more water. I went from drinking 2qts a day to 3-4qts. Nothing. I tried eating a bunch of salt then drinking a bunch of water thinking some extra might be flushed out too. Nothing. Someone said eat a bunch of carbs one day. Gained 3lbs of water that came off the next two days but nothing else. The only thing that has worked at all was eating boiled cabbage one night. Lost two pounds over a week. I've eaten so much cabbage since then the vitamin C levels in my body are so high that I think it has created a forcefield that repels the cold virus now. Haven't lost anymore weight from it though. I take my vitamins, my calcium, my fish oil. I eat healthy, I walk till my feet hurt to stand on the next day. One week I walked 191,000 steps! I know the fats gone, I had to tighten the bad of my watch twice for godsake! Why won't the water weight come off? What am I doing wrong? Am I gonna have a sweaty night in day and wake up looking like Homer Simpson after he got his stomach staples?? Do I use chip clips or rubber bands? Who looses weight in their wrists? Have I been the fat wrist girl all this time and no one ever told me?! Why do they keep selling me cabbage when I clearly can't control myself?! I DONT UNDERSTAND! I know most people use this forum for support but tbh that doesn't do much for me. I'm posting because I want data (NOT A SURVEY IM FOLLOWING THE RULES). Have other people experienced something similar? Have people had success with methods I haven't tried? I know that it has to come off EVENTUALLY but I've been exceedingly patient for 10 weeks and now I need some sort of timeline based on other people's experiences. I at least need proof that someone else has had a plateau as long as I have and I don't a weight loss curse passed down from my great great grandfather that forgot to carry a witch off the mountain or something.

| It begins tomorrow! 20M 5'11 270 lbs 37.7 BMI I CAN DO THIS Posted: 18 Sep 2020 01:33 PM PDT I'm 20m 5'11" 37.7 BMI 269 lbs (nice, wait no not nice) and after gaining about 50 pounds since starting college 3 years ago I'm finally starting my weight loss journey. I've tried quick weight loss methods that always end with me losing faith and stopping. But Saturday I'm getting a haircut to begin my journey. My goal is to get down to 200 pounds (27.9 BMI) by my brother's birthday in late April. He's younger than me and is in amazing shape, and inspires me to get this done. My housemate and I are starting this together and sticking with the basics to start. Gyms are still spotty where we are so we're starting with controlled calorie counting, slowly moving our way up as we get further along. I really need this, my health needs it, and my confidence needs it. Wish me luck, I'll share results at Thanksgiving! [link] [comments] |
| 33M, 343lb -> 326lb, My Mt Everest - 1 hour at the Gym, 5 days in a row! Posted: 18 Sep 2020 03:59 PM PDT For me, getting myself to the Gym feels like climbing Mt Everest, on my own, in the dark, in a t-shirt. However, I said I'd do it, and I did it, and I'm feeling really great, and really happy :-) I've been signed up to the gym for a while, but just been going from time to time before C19. My gym just reopened 2 weeks ago. Lots of weight to lose to get to a healthy BMI, but, one day at a time. 343lbs -> 326lbs, very slow, up an down, but the direction is generally down. Anyway, Gym for 5 days in a row, Feeling great. 50/50 cardio, weights. For today, for example;
Here's some things that keep me motivated, in the hope they help you too!

| My Inconsistent Behaviour and Obesity Posted: 19 Sep 2020 12:43 AM PDT Hello everyone. I will be turning 27 this December. I want to share something about me that's bothering me alot thats ofcourse related to my weight. I have been overweight since whole my childhood and I come from a society where girls are bullied even when they are just 10yr and you know what their families bully them. Well by the time I turned 18 I was in obese category according to my BMI. And now I have been suffering from pcos for the last 7yrs. I have lost my hair I have lost my beauty I have lost every beautiful thing I had. Now I am nothing but just a bag of sloth. During my university time I felt so uncomfortable in my body that I stopped talking to people I had no Friends at all I felt I looked like a shit that's why I won't be accepted. Even at that time I looked better but people around me made me feel that and you know what now I actually look like a big buffalo. I am hating myself I dont like my body. Everytime I go out I feel ashamed I can see in the eyes of people the look they give me over my weight. I want to get rid of it. But I feel I am unable to do that. Everytime a mood swing carry away my motivation to loose weight. I have been prescribed some treatment for pcos and thats not hormonal pills it's just metformin and inositol but I don't take either. Idk why I am going opposite to what I want. I overeat I eat emotionally. I just want to get rid of my weight. Every 6mon my dress size is increasing for the last 2yrs. Since 2018 I was in a toxic relationship that's gave boost to my low self esteem and emotional eating. It ended up in Feb 2020. But the 2019 was a terrible time. I suffered alot. I had emotional loss and academic loss. And now I am here. I have compensated my academic loss and emotional loss is also being handled well but this gift of more weight that came along with it is not going anywhere. I am not blaming anyone for my physique. It's me just me. My mind set. I am not consistent. I don't even walk and I don't even eat healthy or take my treatment. I do have alot of time but still I am unable to make it. I feel like I will never reach there. What should I do now? Max effort I have put it just lasted a month and again I am back to my bad routine. I feel like failure. My BMI is 32. My weight is 71kgs thats 156.52 pounds. My healthy weight is between 45-50 so I need to lose 20kgs. I want to feel confident again. Recently I went out a week ago. I was looking so fat so unattractive I felt uncomfortable in my body. I don't fit into my favorite clothes. What should I do to stay consistent in my weight loss journey? [link] [comments] |

| A conversation with my boyfriend Posted: 18 Sep 2020 03:58 AM PDT So, today I looked back at a photo taken a year ago after figuring I'd lost 60lbs since that time. In my mind, I still look the same if I look in the mirror and I was talking about this with my boyfriend when he dropped this bombshell on me... 'Well, I'm legally blind so if I can see a change that must count for something.' Honestly, the level of support from this man is amazing, he makes this journey 100x easier for me. Being able to have someone cheer me on for my weight loss instead of having people be negative or tell me 'well, just have this, what harm can one meal do, or one take away' doesn't help me in the long run. Today, we've vowed to not drink until November together and workout together more! [link] [comments] |

| Crawling back onto the wagon (again) Posted: 18 Sep 2020 04:46 PM PDT Why is it so hard to stay on track? I was doing so well before the quarantine, eating the right amount, not even feeling the need to snack. Now I'm right back to the weight I was around Christmas, with no self control and the self esteem to match. I'm snacking right now, even while I write about how much I want to stop. So here's my angsty self-motivational post, prodding myself back on track. From now on, it's healthy habit time! Calorie counting, sustainable meal prepping, and drinking water before I eat! This jelly baby is officially putting down the jelly babies, and will only pick them up again in reasonable quantities that fit into her daily calories, on a much less frequent basis.

| What are your best weird weight loss tips? Posted: 18 Sep 2020 05:23 PM PDT I don't mean the ones that we've all seen a hundred times (Im looking at you "drink water before you eat because you might be thirsty not hungry" tip). Im curious to know the things you've never seen anywhere, but work nonetheless. Ive picked up a few myself in recent months: -If you have a retainer, wear it all the time. Even if its just the bottom one. It has basically eliminated my mindless snacking. It's amazing how much just having that one little extra step before taking a bite makes pay attention to what you're eating. Especially now with so many places requiring a mask right now, no one will even know you're wearing it -Kombucha is surprisingly filling. I know one of the 10 commandments of weight loss is "Thou shall not drink your calories", but they're only about 60 cal a bottle. I can drink one of those and not be hungry for an actual meal till much later, or sip on one for hours at a time without getting grumbly. -Take up baking your own bread. Then don't buy any from the store. This made me so much more conscious of how mindless I could eat toast. A piece for breakfast, a piece for a snack, and one with dinner, then "Hey where's half my loaf gone?" Now I limit myself to one a day so I only have to bake a loaf once a week. I enjoy sourdough the most, and there's a fair bit of planning required to make a good loaf. You also get the added bonus of learning to bake bread and knowing exactly what is in what you're eating. Im sure there are a few more I will think of later, but those are a few of my best strange tips Ive picked up. I know there have to be some good ones you've all picked up too, and Im interested to hear them [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 18 Posted: 18 Sep 2020 05:13 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy Friday. Sorry I missed a day kids. It's been a tough mental health week. Shame is a hell of a drug. Weight by end of month (199 lbs, preferably trend weight): No weigh in this morning. Stay within calorie range (1500 weekdays, maintenance weekends, NO FAST FOOD): Not fabulous. I'm not proud of my progress kids. I'm ashamed of the lack of movement on the scale and some of my food choices lately. I hope y'all won't judge me too harshly. Exercise 5 days a week: Rest day. 13/18 days. Self-care journaling (once a week, 60 minutes): Done for this week. 2/2 weeks. Self-care time (working on love journals, beauty treatments, staying on top of adulting, drawing 7/16 days): TBD. Try a new recipe once a week: Experimenting with pumpkin puree & slightly different chili recipe. 2/5 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Not tonight kids. 0/50 pages. Be more mindful, present in my body & express gratitude to avoid the hedonic treadmill: My brain is a scumbag. What's going on with you all? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 Sep 2020 04:45 AM PDT 242lbs-232.8lbs It's been a looooongggg month but I've made it and stayed focused. I had a few fuck ups here and there, got high and consumed about 10k calories in one sitting, consumed like 5000 calories just in alcohol in one night but besides that I've been pretty disciplined and the weight loss shows it 😁😁😁 for the first 3 weeks I did no exercise and just focused on getting my diet under control, once I was comfortable with that I started exercising and now I've been running every single day, sometimes twice a day and I'm loving it. Even though I don't run far I feel super accomplished by the end of it and I can feel my fitness coming back to what it used to be and it's only been a week!! I'm signing up for a 5k in November to keep myself motivated. I know I can do this shit I'm just LAZY. But there comes a point where putting in that little bit of effort is well worth the discomfort. Not only do I feel better phsycially but I feel better mentally too. Congratulations to me bring on the next month 🎊🎊 [link] [comments] |
| I will reach the normal BMI range soon Posted: 18 Sep 2020 12:48 PM PDT Three years ago, I (26F) stepped on a scale and was shocked when I saw 116 kg. I was 23, and deeply disturbed because I felt like I failed myself. That's when I decided to do something about it. Today my scale showed 81 kg. I was 84 when I started highschool. I was always a fatty, I started gaining weight when I was 6 or 7, and I am so angry with my parents because they did nothing to prevent that. I know that they are not responsible for my weight but they never thought me to eat healthy. When I moved out and started cooking for myself, it all became much much easier. I was obese, and now I'm 7 kg away from a normal BMI range. My GW is 70 kg and I know I will get there by the end of this year. Two breakups in the last two years didn't help and I gained a couple of kg, but now I am back on track! I feel confident for the first time in years, I wear dresses and skirts, I enjoy looking at myself in the mirror. The only problem is my family who keeps telling me that I look ill, that I will become anorexic, that I should stop losing weight, that I will have so much excess skin that I better stop doing this to myself. My support system is non-existant but you people help me stay on track. Thank you all! [link] [comments] |
