| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 03:56 AM PDT I am 32 years old and 5 feet tall. My heaviest weight was 157 lbs. I am now 127 lbs. In April, I just decided to be better and started exercising at home. I jumped rope, lifted weights, and did cardio with the Just Dance app. I lost 15 lbs within 2 months (between April and June). I did not weigh myself for months. When the gyms reopened, I worked out even harder and I started a liquid diet, and I lost 15 more pounds. I drank GNC protein shakes for breakfast and lunch for 3 weeks. I am much happier now. I did this for myself, and my mental health has improved tremendously since the weight loss. Edit: I drank GNC shakes for breakfast and lunch, then had one solid meal with carbs and protein in the evenings. This was my diet for only 3 weeks. I do not recommend liquid diets as a long-term plan. My favorite GNC Shake [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 03:01 PM PDT I've lost 30lbs I started walking on May 3, 2020. The walk was an hour and 15 minutes until August 1st when it went to 1.5 hours. I only missed one day. I also have made an effort to stop stuffing my face. Just reduce what I eat a bit. I'm 48 yrs old, 6'2". I started at 272lbs. Yesterday, I weighed 242.2lbs. It's been hard giving myself the time everyday. I'm a workaholic (trial lawyer) but I'm happy I kept the commitment. It's the first time in 24 yrs I've given myself time. The only advice I can give is this: don't kill yourself trying to rush it. Slow and steady wins the race. I'm visibly different and people's eyes widen when they see me. No gimmicks or quick fixes. Do something everyday, and just eat less. It'll come off. And you'll feel good physically and mentally. Good luck!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:17 PM PDT When I was in high school I had a doctor's appointment I went to and I stepped on the scale to see it said 395. I was five pounds away from being 400 pounds. I had a thyroid problem in the second grade which made me balloon up within less than a year. I struggled being an obese child and in high school I still was in this condition. I left the doctors office disappointed and took a look in the mirror, I didn't like what I saw. I knew the doctor was right i was not going to live the long life I wanted to. So I made a commitment that day to change my life around. I went on the Atkins diet which I cut carbs out of my diet. I was eating lean meats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grain. With exercise I started with walking, then I started lifting weights as I progressed. Soon I was into high, low, and step aerobics, kickboxing, yoga, and running or jogging whether it was outside or on the treadmill. I also started walking outside carrying my dumbbells. Within 8 months I dropped 100 pounds and ended up graduating high school wearing an outfit that would not of fit me before. When I turned 21 I had lost 270 pounds and was thrilled but had excess skin from the huge amount of weight I lost. I underwent skin surgery that same year which was painful but it was worth it. Only thing I wished is my dad would of lived to see me achieve this goal. There are many obstacles in my life I know I can achieve now because this was the hardest challenge I think I ever did with succeeding. [link] [comments] |
| The small victories are still victories Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:29 AM PDT I've always been the "chunky friend." (24/F) Regardless or social stigmas and "bikini body" bullshit, I wanted to feel better in my own skin for me. Not "skinny", just healthy and not be winded every time I climbed the stairs. Starting around February this year (about a month before the world imploded) I decided to do better. Bought a Fitbit, made myself accountable to coworkers and friends, the whole nine. Started at 202.4lbs and dropped to 194.2lbs and then stayed there for months. I was starting to get super discouraged last month, beating myself up for not doing enough, not caring enough, etc. But I did notice the whole time I was dropping pant sizes and my clothes were fitting much differently. Guess who finally got under 190?! This gal. Clocked in at 187.9 this morning. Even those few pounds made me feel like a weight loss warrior. Nothing extreme or exciting, but it's a big deal to me. Not done yet, but I refound my drive to keep going!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 09:44 AM PDT Hi guys! F28, SW: 240 CW: 199. I posted here back in July when I had 15lbs to Onderland and I finally hit it today! It's so unreal to me and for a while I thought my scale was broke. I moved it all around the house and was consistently between 198.5-199.5 so I'll just take the highest weight for now. The fact that my weight didn't start with a 2 was mind blowing because this is my lowest weight I've been in at least 7 years. I started my journey back in March when lockdown started, the first 2 weeks I was just eating and sitting on the couch and I had to make a decision. Either I was going to keep going down this path and eventually just get bigger or I was going to lose weight. I started 1200 calories and IF, along with YouTube workouts. This worked for a while until I plateaued and through some research here I upped my calories to 1500 a day along with my regular YouTube workouts/walking and started losing again. Once I lost about 30lbs it slowed down again, which is fine, but I stayed around the same weight for a while until I came back here, asked some questions, and decided to reevaluate my calorie intake again and now I do around 1300-1400. I've also started the C25K program and am on week 5. This is also crazy to me because at one point in my life I was out of breath just walking a mile. Meal prepping has been a huge step to my success. I will eat sous vide egg bites for breakfast (thanks Starbucks for getting me hooked on these) and for lunch I have some sort of wrap or salad, dinner always varies for me. For snacks I like to eat skinny pop popcorn (100cal per bag), sugar free pudding (60cal), baybell light cheese (50cal), I also eat a lot of fruits, veggies, etc. I've just never thought I'd be here, after so many failures. I still have about 30-40 more lbs I wanna lose I think. But this sub and other have contributed a lot to my weight loss and I'm so thankful for all the advice I've gotten on here, the stories are inspiring and def kept me motivated! Edit: omg guys I never expected this but thanks for the awards 💜💜💜 [link] [comments] |
| Upset at people’s negative reactions to me 29F losing weight. Sw: 260 pounds Cw: 219 pounds. Advice? Posted: 20 Sep 2020 12:18 PM PDT One of my closest friends recently told me that she was concerned about how quickly I've lost weight (it hasn't been that quick at all and has been about 40lbs since December 2019) she also said that she would have to detach from someone if they had an eating disorder because of her struggles with anorexia when she was a teenager. My friend isn't the best at saying how she feels and I felt like she was trying to send me a message - I tried to tell her the reasons I did it (I had high blood pressure and now its normal, was worried about the ramifications of obesity and Covid etc). I also explained to her that I just really like excercise as well and that I eat well (I'm only 5'3 so eat 1,500 as a base level unless I exercise) She went silent and I just don't think she agrees. Thing is though what I don't understand is how she can't see that disordered eating is arguably what I was doing before I started dieting and that I'm trying to relearn how to control portions. It's also worth mentioning that because of her history I don't confide in her about it or talk to her about it at all... it just seems that the simple act of me getting smaller is triggering her. And there's not really much I can do about that 🤷🏻♀️ It made me doubt the work I put in to be like this and it has clouded what I enjoy (my new found interest and love of exercise and nutrition). It worries me I may lose one of my best friends just for trying to be healthier. But I also know that I need to continue as I have been and if that means she leaves then she leaves. What I was wondering was how you have all dealt with negative opinions about you losing weight and your change to your relationships? TLDR: Friend triggered by my (needed) weightloss, feeling sad about it. [link] [comments] |
| [NSV] Fit into 30" jeans for the first time in over 15 years! Posted: 20 Sep 2020 02:22 PM PDT Long time lurker, first-time caller: M34/5'9"/SW:205/CW: 160/GW:155 I was a twig in high school and was always struggling to put on weight - muscle or fat. So some of my eating habits including eating as much as physically possible every chance I could. For the past 9 years, I've struggled to maintain any form of reasonable healthy habits and my weight has hovered in the 180s-200s. Long story short - I was heavier than I'd ever been at the start of June. I couldn't fit into any jeans I owned any more and I had multiple pairs in every size from 32"-36" and I told myself that I WOULD NOT purchase another larger set of jeans. Well over the past few months, I've significantly increased my aerobic activity levels and pumped up my weight lifting while also cutting my caloric intake to a strict 1500/day. As the weeks passed, I never really put on pants due to 2020; literally living in yoga pants and gym shorts 24/7. On Friday, I had to prepare for this weekend thing that required actually wearing some semi-rugged clothes. I tried on my 33" jeans thinking that those would work... way too big... 32 inchers it must be. since they were the smallest pair I had. Well on Saturday I put on my selected jeans in the 32" and they're way too big... bunching up everywear.. belt cinching everything in the most obnoxious ways. I told myself that I needed to buy jeans if I don't want to feel like a bag of ass forever. Online shopped a pair of 30" thinking that there's no way that I'll fit in them and they'll be my inspiration jeans and a pair of 31" thinking that these would be my go-to's for now. Well, today they came in and the 30" set fit perfectly! I can button them without any problems and they're not muffin topping me! The boys aren't being crushed and I don't need to belt to prevent wardrobe malfunctions! Sending back the 31"! Its been a lot of hard work to get here and I still have about 5lbs to go to get to my target weight. I wanted to share a bit of my story since I've loved reading of yours. Don't give up, keep believing in yourself, your jeans are waiting too! [link] [comments] |
| How I Went from Obese To Healthy Weight for my proportions Posted: 20 Sep 2020 06:48 PM PDT Hey guys how is it going last October I was 228 pounds and was fat and just an all around loser but now I still have a huge belly man tits and other problems but I just wanna share how I lost weight and stay motivated for other kids my age looking for help It all started when I went to take a shower I looked at myself in the mirror and hated it I had for a while wanted to make a change but pizza chips and video games seemed more important then being healthy because I will just get fit when I want to but after that I saw what I had become I decided that change was gonna happen one way or another I was sick of being known as the fat kid I wanted to be the cool fit guy not the nerdy fat guy anymore so I began small with just taking interest in eating better so I started there I began to make a plan I would only eat at 6:am lunchtime at school and then whatever my parents made for dinner I also did something odd that not a lot of other people did which was hold a stopwatch and wait 5 min before eating I could only drink water I was sort of successful with this but it wasn't enough after all my efforts I had lost .2 pounds I got depressed and went back to my old ways for one night but then after eating bad the entire day I burst into tears and promised myself to never let food have this control over me again I started running my legs burned but I didn't care I kept going and at the end of the week I had lost 3 pounds I was so happy I was dancing and felt so good like a hero to myself I went to bed that night and had never been happier and that's how I wanted to feel every night so I kept going I'm my journey lots of ups and downs but it is all part of the journey with plans to play lots of sports next summer and just so happy even though I don't look fit and still get called fatass jokingly by my friends I would tell anyone who wants to be fit think long and hard is this something you really want and if so it will stink sometimes but when you see that number change from month to month you will be more happy then ever before and believe me anybody can do this if I can you can too don't worry about what anyone else says this is your story you get to decide how it's plays PS Make yourself proud [link] [comments] |

| Accountability for changing my lifestyle Posted: 20 Sep 2020 07:14 PM PDT I was somewhat active on this sub in the past when I was on my weight loss journey. Well recently it was my birthday and I had to celebrate alone due to COVID, and with the stress/depression of another birthday alone I ended up eating much more than I should've. I haven't looked at the scale since before then because I'm too afraid, but I know I've gained a few pounds because I can see the fat on me now. My lifestyle is going to change. Water will become a #1 priority for me. I never want to feel dehydrated again, and never want to eat because I'm actually thirsty. No more eating out. For the next 7 days I will not eat out from any restaurant of any kind. I will have to make all of my meals myself which will force me to eat less/healthier. No finishing other people's foods. Too often do I finish my coworkers burrito or sandwich at lunch because they're full and don't want anymore. It doesn't matter how good it looks or how hungry I am, I have a diet to stick to and that's that. No special treats because "I've been doing good". Treats just mess up my stomach and make me feel defeated afterwards. It's Friday and it's been a long week and I feel like I deserve a pizza which I have the calories for? No, you're going to down a 32oz water bottle and make yourself a delicious fish dish or something. I will do hold myself accountable for the next 7 days, and hopefully after that I will want to continue the streak for as long as possible. [link] [comments] |
| I hiked a mountain! Something that would have been nearly impossible last year! Posted: 20 Sep 2020 10:14 AM PDT This weekend my buddy and I hiked Pike's Peak from Crags trail in Colorado. Hiking a mountain has been a lifelong goal and so when I lost 65 lbs I knew I had to set a date and go do it. https://i.imgur.com/XgxiUPb.jpg I'm not gonna lie, my current weight probably still isn't the ideal weight to tackle a mountain. (I am currently 263 and 5'11". I still need to lose another 60ish pounds to be in my ideal range. ) But I powered through it and we made it up in a very long 9 hours. And I cried, guys. I cried because I never thought this would be possible. I cried because the little voice in my head that always told me that I would always gain the weight back is being crushed. I am capable of doing what I want to do. Nothing is impossible. We also descended in about 3 hours with 12 hours of hiking total. Every part of me screamed in pain at the end but after a couple Tylenol, I slept like a baby. All this is to say...keep going! You can do hard things! You can endure! [link] [comments] |
| Climbing the mountain once again Posted: 20 Sep 2020 09:12 PM PDT Two years ago I took myself from 135kg to 100kg, through stress due to some bad events and sickness in the family I am back to square one. Today I weigh 135kg and I'm feeling the most down I have felt in a long time. I'm done stress eating and drinking to try and relax at night time. I'm 10 days sober and I'm trying to clean up my diet. It feel almost like an impossible task to lose all that weight again but I know it needs to be done for my mental health, my physical health and for my young kids as when I feel like this I am not the best father I can be. Wish me luck as starting today I'm going to give it my all and try fix myself in every way. Any advice is very welcome ! [link] [comments] |
| Started my second weight loss journey Posted: 20 Sep 2020 05:59 PM PDT I am a 6'2 223 Pound Male. Earlier this sunmer (August) I went on a weight loss journey. I went from 232 all the way down to 215. After a while I stared being unmotivated and reverted back to my old unhealthy eating habits. I gained weight again back to 223 and im tired. I feel uncomfortable with myself and want to lose weight. My goal weight has always been 190. I have a plan that I wrote out (1500 cals,exercise daily, drink more water, etc.) I just wanted to post this here to motivate myself and officially get my journey started again. Feel free to drop any motivational quotes and tips. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 20 Posted: 20 Sep 2020 05:05 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy Sunday! Do any of you have exciting meal preps going on? I have a white bean, veggie & ham shank soup going. It's a favorite of mine, it always delivers such tasty flavor. 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): Maintenance. Ready to aim for a deficit tomorrow. Exercise 5 days a week: Rest day. 14/20 days. Self-care journaling (once a week, 60 minutes): Did some last night & today. 3/3 weeks. Self-care time (working on love journals, beauty treatments, staying on top of adulting, drawing 7/20 days): Got my meal prep handled & worked. That's enough for today. Try a new recipe once a week: Experimenting with pumpkin puree, slightly different chili recipe & an oil based vinaigrette salad dressing. 3/5 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: I am grateful for steady employment & the current very trying opportunity I have to make additional income at my usual gig. On that note, I feel like I've been a bad example of positive self talk lately. So I will encourage you all to give yourself some love & empathy. Every day is a new opportunity to succeed. Look at the path you're on with kindness for yourself as a flawed human being that is striving for better. In my case, many things about this summer were very different about all my routines. It was a very stressful summer for many reasons too. And it is still one of the more stressful times of my personal life & many people in the world's too. So, cut yourself some slack & make sure you are still being kind to you. I'm bad at it but I'm still trying & you all are rocking it! Your turn. [link] [comments] |
| What's the STUPIDIST 'Weight loss' exercise/quick fix you've tried Posted: 20 Sep 2020 07:27 AM PDT Note: I do NOT mean starvation/purging or dangerous methods - I mean things like 'Shake Weights' or 'Thigh masters' or what not. My old room mate won a 'spa' day where you'd lose 'at least 12 inches in a session' so we went. At the end of it, they unwrapped us and crowed triumphantly at the 1/4 inch off our calves, 2 inches off the waist, an inch off the arms... Would have cost 75$ each if we'd had to pay for it. Laughed all the way home and got a cheeseburger to boot... [link] [comments] |
| Day 0 - no motivation to start...but I’m starting anyway (hopefully��) Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:51 PM PDT I've been overweight/obese my whole life and there was a period where I was just comfortable being overweight/obese and I didn't really care to change things. Then in 2017 a new gym opened in my town and I signed up because they had a good opening deal, this was my first time going gym and I managed to lose 16kg from July - September. People around me were starting to notice the weight loss and it was going great. Then I started university again and slowly stopped going gym and started eating out more. The weight slowly increased till I ended up back where I started This killed my motivation and I just didn't ever go back to the gym after that and my weight just stayed around the 120kg mark. Then in January 2020 i weighed myself and saw I was 127kg this was the heaviest I've ever been and it was the kick I needed. I signed up for gym and got down to 122kg by February, but then everything shut down because of COVID. During the whole lockdown period I just tried my hardest not to gain any extra weight. I knew it would be too hard to lose it. Now I have signed back up to the gym and hopefully things will be different this time I just weighed myself right now and I am 123.4kg. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 02:41 AM PDT So as the title says, I figured sharing an anecdote from my current weight loss journey could help people who worry about gaining a little after a 'bad' meal. Saturday 12th September - I weighed in at 164lbs. 2lbs away from having lost 50lbs total, 4lbs from a big goal. Feeling like I'm really achieving in my weight loss. Then came a week 'off plan'. An anniversary, family visiting, and a mini holiday where we ate out every meal and I did not track calories (this was a conscious choice - I wanted a break). Saturday 19th September, one week later - I weighed in at 170.2lbs. I gained nearly half a stone in a week! Cue the terror, the guilt and the stress that I had ruined all my progress. But instead of letting those feelings rule me, I picked back up with my calorie deficit and drank a bunch of water. This morning - Sunday 20th September, and I weigh in again (as I typically weigh daily). And I am suddenly 166.6lbs. I've dropped 3.6lbs of the weight I had 'gained' in just one day. That's the magic of water weight! I would expect to lose most of what I gained within the next couple of days, and maybe have one pound ish of actual fat that I need to lose. I guess in essence, I'm saying don't stress about fluctuations, about days or weeks off plan. Just give yourself some grace, pick back up with your eating habits, and you will see the weight shift pretty quickly! [link] [comments] |
| Losing weight with hypothyroidism? Posted: 20 Sep 2020 07:09 PM PDT I was diagnosed with pretty severe hypothyroidism when I was 16. I don't think much of it, I just take my Synthroid every morning and get on with my day, other than the occasional blood test to check my thyroid levels. My weight has fluctuated over the course of my life, though I have always been big, even as a baby. I have half-assed dieting and exercising here and there, often trying calorie counting but finding I would get hungry on 1200 calories a day. I'm making a genuine effort to exercise 5 days a week (Walk at Home workout videos with 3 miles a day) and watch my portions/calories (aiming for 1500-2000). I've been at this since the beginning of July and I have only lost 5 lbs, though I have lost inches. I'm feeling very discouraged and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have heard hypothyroidism can slow down weight-loss but if weight-loss is just CICO it shouldn't matter, right? I've looked at online support groups for hypothyroidism and so many people say they can't lose weight. Now I'm starting to wonder if that is what is not working. Have any of you with hypothyroidism lost weight? Any tips? [link] [comments] |
| 16 year old male, 280 lb struggling with weight loss. Posted: 20 Sep 2020 10:49 PM PDT I've struggled with my weight my whole life. Every milestone of life I've been overweight. My family was the same way, but due to pancreatitis my father managed to go from 250 lb to around 160, which wasn't a healthy weight loss, but it let him feel confident. My mom also managed to lose weight, through her odd medications and eating habits, and moving around more (which was hard due to her MS.) I included all that because it puts into perspective where I'm at. I'm not even 18 and I'm the heaviest person in my family, by a long shot, and I hate every second of it. I've wanted to lose weight for years now but resources about what to do specifically just aren't common. At least to me, it's hard for a teenager with no support, no teacher, no doctor or anything to successfully begin losing weight sustainably. I will say that I finally managed to convince my mom to get a membership at our local gym, but since joining two months ago I haven't lost a single pound. I haven't gained anything since, which is an improvement, but no loss. I know I need dieting. I need a steady workout routine. But I just don't specifically know what to do. My mother always insists on cooking or eating out, and while eating out is bad, her cooking is almost worse, since it's just as unhealthy in terms of what she makes. I don't know what to do. I'm in a position with no outside support, and I don't know if I'd be able to bruteforce my way to a lower weight. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can provide way more details if needed. I'll reiterate that I'm 16, male, 280 lb, and also 5'10. I haven't seen a doctor or talked to one about this my whole life. My parents are unsupportive and continue facilitating bad habits (I once snapped at my mother for buying cookies, refused to eat them, and we had an argument because she wasted money on food I "wanted but was too stubborn to eat.") Thanks for the help, to whoever responds to this. I just want to live a normal life, I'm sick and tired of being winded from a brisk walk downtown, or being cautious of weighing down a chair.

| Trying to understand how I'm burning less than my BMR Posted: 20 Sep 2020 08:51 PM PDT Hey guys. Firstly, apologies if this sounds stupid. I'm obviously missing something fundamental in my understanding of such things. I am trying to lose some weight, nothing too much, but enough to be ready for Christmas hols. I used several different sites to calculate my BMR, which came out at 2400 calories, based on everything including very sedentary lifestyle right now. The thing is, my fitbit sells me that each day, I burn as little as 1700 calories. I know such devices aren't 100% accurate, but even with a 10% error margin, how can I be burning less than my BMR? I thought BMR was the absolute minimum your body required to maintain current weight with only necessary body functions operating. Doesn't that mean either my Fitbit has a big problem or my BMR is completely wrong? Or am I just really misunderstanding these principles? If anyone can help me understand what it is I'm missing, if what I've said is even clear enough to understand, I would be so very grateful. Without a correct BMR, it's difficult to calculate daily calories budget etc. So getting this correct in my head will really help me reach my goals. Thanks in advance for any input or feedback guys!

| Hello once more /r/loseit, just an update from me Posted: 20 Sep 2020 12:07 PM PDT A few years ago I made a post in this subreddit after losing a lot of weight really fast https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/6qtujm/hello_again_rloseit_i_managed_to_lose_59lbs_268kg/ At that time I had a crazy low calorie diet only drinking Huel (2-3 bottles a day). I was sure I was going to maintain the weight after reaching it no problem, but I started finding myself going up and down all the time (not by much), and always having to go super low on calories and even start Huel again. I realized that these super low calorie diets affect my performance quite a bit (at work, outside etc), I become slow and less energetic. I had to do something about this, to allow myself to eat more while not getting out of shape - I started hitting the gym! At first I was doing it all wrong, thinking I can eat whatever since it will store on me as muscle, but after a while I managed to get it right. I realized that gaining muscles and cardio allow me to eat more, but I should still be careful of how much and what I eat. Now I feel really really happy with how much I eat every day and I can also stay in shape! Even when cutting down the fat, I'm extremely happy with my diet, I feel I have lots of energy compared to the Huel times and I could stay on this diet forever, which is really important. Now I can update my progress pictures from my original /r/loseit post with a new addition. In my original post I had this progress image https://imgur.com/a/RD2la (before picture is from 2014, after picture is from 2017 when I made the post). The new progress picture has a before from 2013 (I was about the same weight as 2014) and the after is from yesterday haha (September 2020) https://imgur.com/Gx1UqQl The funny thing is: I'm exactly the same weight as 3 years ago when I made that post, 70kg! Except now I have more muscle and less fat and I look much much better overall :) [link] [comments] |
| Your order at fast food restaurants/eating out? Posted: 20 Sep 2020 02:55 PM PDT Any "hacks" for eating out/fast food for people doing CICO? Ex. Prior to losing weight, my signature chik-fil-a order was an 8 count fried chicken nuggets, medium fries, medium sweet tea, and as many chik-fil-a sauces as they would spare me. Now, I order a 12 count grilled chicken nugget meal, a side salad with no cheese and light balsamic dressing, and honey mustard for dipping sauce. Also, my hack for parring down the PSL from Starbucks to a reasonable number of calories is ordering a tall with non-fat milk and no whipped cream. It goes from somewhere in the realm of 3 to 400 cals to about 200. Basically, I've found ways to still enjoy my favorite places but in a healthy, reasonable way. Can anyone relate/what do you do?

| When did obesity related medical problems begin to go away and how did you handle it? Posted: 20 Sep 2020 06:00 PM PDT I am curious to know when, in your weight loss progress, did obesity related medical problems begin to go away? How did you handle it? For me, I am still on high blood pressure meds... but I am now 9 pounds away from not being obese anymore... so, I am wondering if I even need to be on this med still. I figure I may make an appointment with my doctor once I am no longer obese on the BMI to begin checking on this. I still think I have high blood pressure, however, which sucks because every other health condition I had developed has either gone away or drastically improved. For anyone who attained normal blood pressure, where were you on the BMI when that happened? I had severe acid reflux before starting CICO that even meds multiple times a day could not control. This went away almost immediately after starting CICO. (Probably within a month.) I still have acid reflux, but is basically 95% gone. The few times it comes up, it is extremely mild and short lived. Also, this is with no medication, as I was able to stop taking this med soon after starting CICO. Pre-diabetes and high blood sugar went away several months into CICO for me. I never was on meds for this. High cholesterol/triglycerides also went away several months into CICO, and I never was on meds. I had NAFLD that was progressing into liver damage. This took many months to get under control. Last time I went to get my liver checked (about a month ago), only one liver reading was one point out of range. I also had problems sleeping, joint pain in my knees, and back pain. These took several months to improve. Back pain and knees are sometimes still there, but drastically improved. [link] [comments] |
| Ive lost about 70 pounds in 3 and half months, but I've got some confusion. Posted: 20 Sep 2020 10:28 AM PDT Im a 17 year old male, 6'5. So, about three and a half months ago i decided I was going to start losing weight. I chose to go on a keto diet as i heard people have lost lots of weight with it. I started at 430lbs, and my beginning carb limit was 30 net carbs per day. I did not really bother with the macros, as i have really bad procrastination issues, and a very hard time getting motivated. To be honest, Im not doing a good keto diet. some days I dont eat, others i only eat meat, but i mainly eat frozen meals with a bunch of vegetables and stuff in it to get what i need. I genuinely have no idea where the motivation to lose weight came from, as i can barley get myself to do school work. As of writing this post (I literally just got up and weighed myself) I am 359lbs. Thats 71 pounds lost in 3 and a half months! It feels awesome but i am a bit worried. I was recently looking online, and i saw lots of people say loosing that much that fast is dangerous and not healthy. I even saw some people claim that it would be impossible to lose this much, this fast. My weight fluctuates a lot, sometimes 10 pounds in just a few days, which i assume is water weight. Is the scale lying to me? Am i harming my own health? I genuinely appreciate any answers to my questions. TLDR: Lost 71 pounds in 3 months, is it unhealthy? Is my scale lying to me/not accurate?
