| LPT: How hungry you are is a measure of how soon you should eat, not how much you should eat. Posted: 23 Sep 2020 10:50 AM PDT Thanks to a post by someone over at r/LifeProTips, my attitude towards trimming calories has already changed. For example, I just had coffee for breakfast this morning and a southwest salad with some rotisserie chicken on it for dinner last night. Needless to say, I was pretty hungry for lunch just now. I'm sitting here at my desk browsing reddit waiting for my Chicken Fried Rice (leftovers) to cool down before I plowed in. I only put half of a full order on my plate knowing I could easily crush this whole container without breathing. I came across this LPT just before I took my first bite, looked at my food, felt my stomach rumble, thought about how I've been stuffed after a small dinner the other day (2 pieces of chicken and some green beans) and this comment just hit home. I don't need to eat more right now, I will be full. Drink some water and wait 10 minutes after I eat and I will be full. There is no need to make up the calories I've trimmed over the last 3 meals right now. Anyway, hope someone else finds this helpful. Good luck to everyone and keep on going no matter the steps backward you take - it's a process! [link] [comments] |
| I reached my goal weight today. No one noticed. Posted: 23 Sep 2020 06:21 PM PDT 26F 5'1 SW 191(+ish?) CW 166 GW 166. Here is my before & after. I mean its only 25 lbs lost but I haven't worn this size in jeans since 2012. My friends who have seen me often choosing a water over my favourite beer on nights out, haven't said a thing... My family who is obsessed with gossiping about weight, nothing... My coworkers after coming to work and seeing each other after months of quarantine, nope... My best friend after not seeing her in a year because we don't live in the same province, not really much... My room mate who's heard me doing jumping jacks in the room above her bedroom, still nothing... I did not realize how much I was just doing this to seek the approval of those around me. Lesson learned— the next 25 I lose will be for me. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 11:01 PM PDT Sorry, I don't really have anyone to be excited about it with; everyone I've told is just disinterested, which I understand, but I'd like to celebrate a small win especially with how much my life has been falling apart in other areas! I (24, 5'7 Trans guy) have officially lost 20lbs. From 290 to 270 in about 3 months. It's such a small amount from what my goal is (180), but it feels huge. I'm on several medicines that increase my appetite significantly, plus having a thyroid condition that made it very difficult for me to regulate my weight even when I felt like I was starving all the time. My doctor and I talked, and he figured out the thyroid thing and some other stuff so now I have been able to lose weight for the first time in my life at a reasonable, steady pace. It doesn't feel like my body is yoyoing between 250 and 290 all the time, as was the problem for so long. It's slow, but in this case that's a great thing - it's a signal that whatever the heck was going on is stable now! My cholesterol has gone down and is now a healthy level, too. I also had an injury that laid me up and took exercise out of my routine last month, so hopefully I'll see the weight come off a little faster now that I'm healed. I'm sticking to my lifestyle changes and the new meds and I'm not only looking better, but feeling better. I would like to get down to 180, and for once I feel like it's possible! I've been doing 30 minutes of exercise a day (minus the two weeks I was laid up almost completely) and I'm moving it up to 45 minutes now, which is also partially because of physical therapy requirements lol. I'm excited and confident continuing this journey. A little bummed no one has noticed or cared when I told them, but this sub has helped me feel better a lot! So thank y'all so much. I've gotten a lot of help from here :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 01:59 PM PDT For the last month, I've been making my own meal replacement shakes. I didn't know if it would work. It's working. I make the shake of either vanilla or chocolate protein powder, PB2, oatmeal, fat free, plain Greek yogurt, and any fruit I want. They replace breakfast and lunch. I supplement with raw vegetables or more fruit if I get hungry before dinner. I'm usually not hungry. In a month, I'm down almost 15 pounds. I'm walking a couple miles every day. I want to lose about a hundred. For the first time, I think I can do it. BTW, I'm almost 47. I ran out of fruit. I never run out of fruit. Thank you for this forum. [link] [comments] |
| Adding baking cocoa to your coffee is a great low-cal way to make a homemade mocha Posted: 23 Sep 2020 08:42 AM PDT I struggle a lot with black coffee. I struggle a lot more with no coffee. I'm always trying to think of ways to keep my coffee enjoyable while also cutting back on the number of calories I add to it. I usually have to add both flavored cream and sugar to my coffee or else it's too bitter. Lately I've been heating up my coffee creamer and stirring in a spoonful of baking cocoa (15 calories) and then pouring in my coffee and it legit tastes like a mocha latte you'd get in a coffee shop. I no longer need to add sugar to the coffee, the baking cocoa is lower calories than the sugar is, and it tastes better, like a treat! I imagine you could still do this with no cream at all or with a small amount of milk/half & half/whatever you typically add to your coffee. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 02:44 PM PDT Is this not the stupidest thing? But I've got it SO BAD. I'm fat. I shouldn't spend money on nice workout gear. I don't deserve the new sneakers until I've put in some arbitrary amount of time to 'earn' them. Whereas in reality I'm heavy, my knees are screwy, I really ought to have good supportive sneakers. Go buy the things you want that will make being active and healthy easier, god damn it. Go buy the shit in your amazon cart. Do it. You deserve it. Apparently this post needs to be longer. What are some great material things you've bought or figured out that helped you along the way? I got an underwater mp3 player so I can listen to music while I swim laps. And I bought super fancy conditioner to try to fix my hair from being killed by the pool water. [link] [comments] |
| How a visit to the hospital for a sinus infection changed my life. Posted: 23 Sep 2020 06:03 PM PDT SW: 414.7lbs | CW: 404.8lbs | GW: 225lbs I'm 18M and I've been fat my entire life. I always ate poorly and never got a lot of exercise. I got a sinus and upper respiratory infection in December, which led to my mom having my dad take me to urgent care since she was concerned about how I was breathing (even though I thought I was fine lmao). I went, was sent to the ER because the doctors were concerned about my blood pressure and heart rate. A month or so later I was given blood pressure medicine which I take to this day. Fast forward to the beginning of September. My mom took me to the doctor for one last time before I was sent off to college. She said that my blood pressure was looking good and that we should return in a few months. We went to dinner and the next day was time for me to go. We went to Walmart when we arrived in my college's town for some supplies and they dropped me off. That's when I decided to start my weight loss journey. I have been mostly walking around campus each day and I walk everywhere I go, including to my local Albertsons. I go to a restaurant to eat once a week and I've been beginning to watch my calorie count with an app called Lose It. I started going to the gym last week where I lift weights (not ready for the treadmill yet 😬) and use an exercise bikes. I started using the scale last week as well and saw that I was at 414 lbs, which was very concerning to me. I decided to work vigorously and change my diet a bit. For now I only have three meals and one snack a day, drink water and milk almost exclusively (with 1 can of diet soda a day though sometimes I don't have one at all), and make sure to walk outside as much as possible. Friday (or Saturday if my family is visiting that week) is my treat day. What could be a better day than that? Today I went and lifted some weights for a couple of minutes and went to the scale. I stepped onto it after pulling it further from the wall a bit (so I could be stable on it) and was impressed that I was only 404.8 lbs, meaning I lost 10 pounds in a week. I got a major confidence boost and have decided to go to the gym and work even harder from now on. The scale might have been inaccurate before because I hadn't moved it from the wall the previous times, but as far as I'm concerned I've achieved a small victory in weight loss for possibly the first time in my life. I feel happier and a little bit healthier thanks to my workout routine and of course the Lose It app. My goal weight for now is around 225. TL;DR Went to the hospital, diagnosed with high blood pressure meds, started college and working out, lost 10 lbs in about a week. [link] [comments] |
| 412lbs to 369lbs so far. If I can do it so can you! #LOSEIT Posted: 23 Sep 2020 12:55 PM PDT 📷https://gyazo.com/c741cdf6ee1f459a4cfe7579edf65cc3 This is my current progress. Left side is when I started to lose weight about 8-9 weeks ago and the right side is how I currently look. I know I still have a lot of weight to lose but my energy and motivation is high! My 3XL shirts are loose now and i've never felt better. I am not doing any extreme dieting or anything. I am keeping my calories around 2k per day (Tracked via myfitnesspal) and walking with my wife/kid every night for a few miles. I try to either carry my 4 year old on my shoulders, or push her in the stroller at a pretty moderate 3mph pace. Nothing too intense yet, when I get down to about 300lbs I am going to start back jogging/strength training. I have lost about 7" on my pants so far (Feels so good buying new clothes due to the old ones being too big!) [link] [comments] |
| Some advice for those of us struggling with exercise Posted: 23 Sep 2020 08:05 PM PDT I'm currently at the highest weight I've ever been - after participating in three triathlons last year, I completely let myself go due to COVID and now the fires on the west coast have prevented me from even walking outside (I've gained 35 lbs since March and now qualify as medically obese at over 240 lbs). But today, I did a couple of things that changed the game - I bought a cheap treadmill and visited (responsibly) a running gear store to get a new pair of running shoes. But here's the wild part: the store had a small machine that made a 3D scan of my feet - and the staff, for free, took the scan and ran me through the specifics of how my feet were built, including my bone structure, and then brought out three pairs of shoes for me to try on. I bought the most comfortable pair, drove home, laced up, and started jogging on my new treadmill. And my god. All the little aches and pains that have built up over the last year from walking in my three year old pair of worn-out sneakers, the moderate back pain and knee twinges I've become so used to, completely disappeared. The impact of my heels striking the ground that used to send shockwaves up through my knees and into my back were now being absorbed by the "hi-tech" heel cushion of the new shoes. The only pain I felt while jogging today was mild fatigue from exercising, which is how it should be, and the endorphin rush afterward was something I haven't felt in over a year. To the point where I was laughing reflexively. I read something last week that inspired my trip to the running store: "Never cheap out on things that connect you to the ground - tires, shoes, and mattresses." So next up on the list is a finally decent mattress to further improve my quality of life. If you feel like everything hurts when you walk or jog - please, please consider dropping a little cash on a professionally recommended pair of running shoes. It might just be the difference between transforming your walks from being uncomfortable every day into something you look forward to when you wake up. [link] [comments] |
| I need to vent about this sub for a minute. Posted: 24 Sep 2020 12:40 AM PDT Any time that I post at r/loseit, most of the responses I get are very positive. But there's always that one person. Or three. "It's great that you stuck to your calories while you went camping...but if you had binged and eaten 1000 calories over, it really wouldn't have been that big a deal..." (yes he really said this. He genuinely thinks 1000 calories above and beyond your calorie allowance is "no big deal", apparently it's something he does regularly). "You have to have balance in your life and you can't have balance in your life by sticking to your calories 100% of the time..." "Sounds to me like you've switched one eating disorder for another. You need therapy and you need to see a dietician." "Sounds to me like what you're doing (determinedly staying at or below my max calories no matter what else I've got going on in life that day) is torturing yourself" (how he got this, I don't know because I didn't complain about it being hard to do or that I felt like I was suffering). Not once did I tell another person what they should do. Not once did I say, "you should..." as in, "you should eat the way I eat." Not once. It's not for me to do that. It's not for me to tell another person what they "should" be doing. It's not for me to tell another person that my way is the right way for them. But my way IS the right way, for ME. So here are all these people who want to tell me how THEY think I should be eating, and they think their advice to indulge in caloric binges of hundreds to thousands of calories over my max daily limit, is healthy and correct. They think that's great fucking advice! But I'm not allowed to say, no, I'm not doing that. Me saying no, I'm not doing that, makes me competitive, disordered, and in need of a dietician and a therapist. Edited: And defensive, forgot that one. I'm defensive for saying, no, I'm not going to do that. Edited: And, forgot this one, I'm not "better than" someone else for sticking to my calories. I never said I was, and I thought that was an interesting thing for her to say. Maybe she thinks SHE'S "better than" others when SHE sticks to HER calories? And she projected that on me and decided I needed to be taken down a peg and reminded I'm not "better than" someone else when I stick to my calories and they don't? The whole thing really pissed me off. I shouldn't be trashed just for saying over and over, no that's not for me, I'm choosing something different than you are choosing. [link] [comments] |
| SV: 10 weeks and 30 pounds lighter Posted: 23 Sep 2020 10:19 AM PDT Before and after here (it says it "may contain erotic imagery" which is probably because I'm shirtless in both photos. I'm a guy, FYI). The single biggest change I made was changing the way I eat. I thought I was doing pretty good, not eating a ton of fried food or overly high-calorie meals. But I truthfully snacked through the day, and although these weren't what I would call unhealthy snacks, there were lots of crackers, pretzels, spoonfuls of peanut butter, and cereal. I switched to going off alcohol and eating four small meals a day. Each meal contained a large portion of protein, a handful of fruit or vegetables, and a tablespoon of healthy fat such as nuts, seeds, or oil. I also had two protein shakes each day. I did this every single day for ten weeks, with no cheating and not a single meal that didn't fit this profile. If I had to pick, this way of eating is 95% the reason for my body transformation. I also got in some physical exercise each day, doing push ups and abs, and two times a week I did a longer workout such as a run or weights. Each week the workouts got a bit harder, such as increasing the number of repetitions, running a longer distance, etc. The exercises were all ones I could do at home with bodyweight or with battleropes. It was great to be able to do the workouts without having to go to the gym. The biggest takeaway from all this is that it takes a loooong time to detox from sugar and carbs, and it will be a lot longer for me until I can have some of my favorite foods without my discipline falling apart. It took me about six weeks to feel like I was even a little bit neutral about sweets and carbs, which are all around me as my wife and kids are much more balanced and can have these foods in small doses. By this tenth week I don't much care about them, but I know this is still a fragile state for me. I think it will take years until I can feel truly OK having a muffin or a cookie and then going back to healthy eating. One side benefit to this is that I've stopped my horrendous snoring, and so now my wife and I can sleep in the same room. If I said I have more energy I'd be lying because I have a 5 year old and an 8 month old. But I do feel like I can run around with them a bit more and generally get down on the floor easily. I've been a gymgoer my whole life and at my best I manage to eat decently, go to the gym 3x a week, and jog here and there. Nothing earth shattering but it worked to maintain when I was in good health. It wasn't working at ALL to get back in shape, I was slowly chipping away at a mountain. I don't think I would every have done something like the regime I described above if not for the pandemic (which is not to say I'm grateful for the pandemic...it's just an observation). I think I would probably have just continued to trudge along going to the gym hoping for just a little progress, maybe losing 10 pounds at best. I think it took a whole life shakeup with the pandemic to really try something new. Maybe that's a bit of advice for others: it can help to do a completely different approach, an entire lifestyle change. That won't work for everyone of course, but for me I needed to ditch all my past methods and start from scratch. Lastly, I didn't invent this whole regime, I signed up for a program but I don't want to mention it for fear of seeming like I'm a paid salesperson or something. But if it's allowed and anyone wants to know, I will share which program I did. [link] [comments] |
| Went on a walk - first thing in a long time towards goals Posted: 23 Sep 2020 06:46 PM PDT Covid hit me hard in a way I was in denial - I maintained working but didn't take summer semester at school, so found myself home more - and less busy. But slowly over time I realized I was gaining weight - which fueled the desire to do nothing as I was feeling even deeper in the whole cycle. I'm not a "go for a walk" person, I like hiking but haven't had the motivation, because I like to have a "goal" (reach the top, or run one lap type of goal - something visual not timed) Anyways, I went on a walk - as stupid as that sounds. I don't know if this will become habit. I hope it will - so we'll see lol Anyways, I thank this sub for existing - it's helped me lose a ton of weight, and again years later and hopefully once more!

| How long until you guys could intuitively eat? Posted: 23 Sep 2020 06:33 PM PDT I'm not great at listening to my body when it's full. If the food is there, I'll always eat it, which is why CICO has been helpful in me not over eating. Today I had a chipotle bowl, and even though all of the calories fit in my allowance, I got full before I finished. And I sat for a while and distracted myself because I wanted to have the strength to not eat what I didn't really want, but I still ended up eating the rest. For people who were like me, how long did it take before you could intuitively eat? How long before you could just save or trash the rest of the food instead of eating it just because it's there? Did it ever happen or will I always be like this? Are there any tricks to help with this? It makes me feel guilty that I'm not in complete control, but I hope one day I can just not think twice about it. [link] [comments] |
| SV: I fit size 7 jeans for the first time since middle school. I am 26! Posted: 23 Sep 2020 08:43 AM PDT I've been doing CICO since Julyish and I've stuck to it!! I'm down to 144 from 157 and a week ago I decided to be brave...I ordered size 7 (was an 11 before) jeans hoping I could fit in them eventually down the line. I got them in the mail a few days ago. I pulled them out of the package and held them up to look at and thought, "oh man, no way, maybe ten more pounds and they might fit" but I was curious so I proceeded to try to put them on and see how far they'd go. They went up my thighs and I thought, "okay...weird. But that'll be it i think." Then they made it past my hips and the adrenaline kicked in. I thought, "okay, maybe five pounds and then i can zip them!" So i tried to button and zip them...AND THEY FREAKING FIT ME. I was so shocked I screamed out to my boyfriend and started ugly-crying. Y'all. I have not fit in that size since I was in the 7th grade and in weight watchers (I've been overweight most my life). I am so damn happy. I can't wait to see what size I finish at once I reach my goal weight!! For context: I am 26F and am 5'1. I am a very smol girl. [link] [comments] |
| I did a burpee and did not die! Posted: 23 Sep 2020 01:51 PM PDT So NSV for me, I started working out in January and tracking my calories for the first time ever. I got a great trainer who herself lost 100+ lbs. I've been working hard just to do push-ups and get in 5 days of activity. So yesterday was workout day, and towards the end my trainer tells me we are going to try burpees. I asked if she planned on peeling me off the grass when I couldn't get back up. We go over form and then start our last round of high knees to squats to our finale the dreaded burpee. Y'all I hit that grass so hard I almost tooted. But I was super surprised when I hoisted myself up and jumped to finish, without needing a change of underpants. I lived! I did it! It's dumb but it made me feel like I can legitimately do anything! Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 03:50 AM PDT GUYS. IT WENT DOWN. Thanks for all your comments and suggestions on my previous post I weighed today and it said 127.3kg / 280.65lbs!! I went easy on the weights the past couple of days and was really monitoring my sodium intake. Something seems to have worked! I will be upping cardio to try and improve my heart health, I actually climbed 5 flights of stairs yesterday, VOLUNTARILY!! Yes I had to stop half way and catch my breath but damn, I felt amazing when I got to the top. The old me would have no way in hell never, and there was a lift. Oof I feel invincible. Thank you all again so much for your contestant encouragement, it's really helping me see the long term goal. I can't wait to start the lose it challenge, I feel even more ready now, we can all do this together 💪🏼 [link] [comments] |

| Things that helped me in my weight loss journey Posted: 23 Sep 2020 04:22 AM PDT Make your bed Keystone habits are defined as "small changes or habits that people introduce into their routines that unintentionally carry over into other aspects of their lives." A great example of this is logging your food. If you log everything and I mean EVERYTHING, studies show that you may loose double the average amount, clean up your eating, become more productive, and many other benefits! I personally log everything I eat and I find that not only do I want to eat cleaner to avoid the regret of having to write down something not as clean, but I also know what foods don't sit as well with me. The downside to this is the strength it takes to write down everything you've put in your mouth on a bad day and then see the total (I struggle with this and am still working on grace and my emotional eating). However my favorite example is, make your bed. Making your bed takes less than 5 minutes of your day and then you've accomplished something. That accomplishment gives your brain a sense of success and it will continue to look for more throughout the day. This also has many benefits including sticking to a budget. Eventually keystone habits build harder habits, so wake up and make your bed! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 06:41 PM PDT I should be thrilled (and I am in ways) that I've lost 115lbs. I'm 27/F/5'7 who weighed 267 at my heaviest recorded weight in 2017 and I now weigh 152lbs. My first goal is 150 but I would like to see 145 just for the fun of it! My problem is that I've sat between 152 and 155 for the last two months. This might sound like a petty complaint for someone who's technically 2 pounds away from goal but its really frustrating when you eat 1200 cals a day, get at least 10,000 steps (fitbit for the win) and do everything right yet you still don't lose weight. I always heard that if youre in a calorie deficit you HAVE to lose weight. Im calling bull. I guess I just wanted some reassurance that this is normal and I needed to vent. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 10:25 PM PDT Hi everyone, so as the title says, am I addicted to red meat, specifically rib eye steak? I am 27 years old male and exercises regularly. I have been slowly losing weight (13lbs) over the course of 15 weeks intentionally with my calories coming from ~35% protein, ~40% carbohydrates, and ~25% fat. My symptom is that the longer I have been on the diet the more I crave red meat, specifically rib eye steaks and I slowly ate them more frequently. Today I felt dead and lethargic, I wasn't able to put my brain into my work and moving was difficult physically. I even took naps and had coffee through the day and didn't feel better. So I ate steak and after the first bite I progressively felt better, more energetic, brain fog went away, and I felt functional and happy again. I wasn't sure how normal this is because I have been eating my proteins from fish, eggs, and chicken as well and I do eat a bunch of cruciferous vegetable. Water, potassium, sleep are all in check. I guess my question is whats so special about red meat that it can bring me to such recovery? Is it the zinc, B12, iron, or a combination of those? If so, does this mean my other protein sources aren't as effective as supplementing my body with these nutrients and minerals as red meat? And finally, will it be a problem if I am frequently eating red meat? Thank you for all you input in advances and thank you for reading :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Sep 2020 12:26 AM PDT Hi all! I've recently been wanting to better myself and start exercising again but I'm unsure of how far I can take it and what my body will look like afterwards. I've taken a two year break from hardcore exercise (competitive swimming for 6-7 hrs every day for 7 years) and have gained a moderate amount of weight. I did struggle with an unhealthy mindset when it came to food for a long time and don't want to fall down that rabbit hole again. I do want to try to lose some weight again and possibly gain some muscle, I'm 5'7 and 190 pounds. I need help figuring out what is safe for me to lose. All the research i've done says I should be between 122 - 149 lbs but I was 145 lbs at my smallest and only 5'5 at the time. Any advice is appreciated! tldr: I'm 5'7 and 190 lbs, any tips on losing weight safely? [link] [comments] |
| Struggling to lose last 20 pounds. Need help! Posted: 23 Sep 2020 08:36 PM PDT I lost 40 pounds. I am 19 pounds away from my goal weight and I'm struggling to lose it. It's not because of a plateau or anything - I just fell off track my period week and because two birthdays in a row and now I am really having a hard time again :( I only have been going to the gym once a week instead of 3 times and I feel like I'm losing my sense of control with food again. I keep eating when I say I'll stop and that's how I became overweight in the first place. I ate out so much recently and today I made healthy meals but ate lots of high calorie snacks. I am so close to my goal weight and my body already looks so much more healthy and I am scared to fall off now. I think I need some advice and words of encouragement. I feel super discouraged.

| Posted: 23 Sep 2020 11:45 AM PDT FINALLY. I was 92lbs down since last July and had been sitting at the exact same weight (or a few pounds over..) since the beginning of June. The initial weight loss was largely from keto and different types of fasting. I lost my teaching job at the end of May, leading to long depressive period. Things started looking better a few weeks ago, and I finally moved out of the awful tiny town that I'd felt super trapped in. While I was packing, I decided to restart keto and start calorie counting to keep myself accountable. Today I am officially out of the rut! I'm down two pounds since last week, putting me at -94lbs :) So glad to be back on track! [link] [comments] |
