| [SV] One year sober today and down to the single digits until my goal weight! Posted: 13 Sep 2020 07:12 AM PDT I am skinnier, healthier, happier, and stronger than I ever imagined. I woke up today one year clean and sober from a 12 year long drug and alcohol addiction. In that year I decided to seriously lose weight too. I do IF (15:9, which admittedly is a weird schedule but it works best for me), CICO (1500/day), and I make sure I get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise every single day. I eat pretty clean, and I don't really have "cheat days". If I want a burger then I have a burger, I've just taught myself what appropriate portion sizes are. I drink water like it's going out of style, and green tea has become one of my best friends. Today I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 153lbs. Not only is this my lowest weight since I was 15 but I'm now only 8 pounds away from my goal weight! 8!!! A SINGLE DIGIT! It feels like only a short while ago I had 80 pounds to lose, but now I only have 8! I definitely shed the happiest, most grateful tears this morning. I got my life back. I'm going to be okay. Edit: Wow, between this post and my submission to /r/stopdrinking I am overwhelmed by all the messages in my inbox! There's about 200+ I need to go through but I'll get started and make sure everyone gets upvotes! Thanks for the support! [link] [comments] |
| [NSV] "I fit in a Medium so you should too" Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:25 PM PDT Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a small non-scale victory that really nails home the concept of body dismorphia and how much we don't see ourselves the way other people do. Background: I have been overweight/borderline obese ever since I was a teenager, and have recently lost a lot of weight (about 26 kg in one year, going from 95 to 69 for 172cm/M) so i'm still getting used to my new body. Honestly up until last week I didn't really see that much change when looking in the mirror even though a lot of people noticed and complimented me on my weight loss and I can clearly see that I can now fit in S/M clothes easily. The victory : Last week I went to the beach to do some snorkeling which meant I had to hire a wetsuit (it's pretty cold where I live at the moment). Now this is usually not a great experience for me, because it always takes me a few tries to get the size right and it doesn't feel great when the L doesn't fit. But this time when I came into the shop, the guy just took a look at me and told me "Yeah I fit in a medium so it should probably work for you too" and handed me the suit. Lo and behold, it fit perfectly ! It's not just the fact that I can now fit in a medium wetsuit that cheered me up, it's the fact that someone I dont know and I would consider "thin" looked at me for the first time and estimated that I had the same morphology as him. I still have a few kgs to lose, but it made me realize that something that was a part of my identity for such a long time (being fat) is just no longer true, no matter how I still see myself in the mirror ! It gives me the motivation to keep going, and I hope this story can make some losers realize that even though you don't really see the changes your body is going through, other people do.

| 123 days into relearning how to live, and it’s been worth the time and effort. Posted: 13 Sep 2020 03:48 PM PDT At the start of COVID I was depressed and miserably overweight. I was 5'4 and 247lbs. I had absolutely given up on life. Then something just kind of clicked. I realized a lot of stuff, I won't get all philosophical on y'all though lol. Anyway, I started by actually buying the loseit app ($25 for the whole year). I had the app previous times but never really cared enough to use it. But spending money on it makes me feel like I have to use it because otherwise it's a waste of money. I noticed a small difference, not huge. I wasn't losing weight at the rate I should have been with the amount I was eating. I also went from sedentary to "lightly active". Walking for an hour a day, taking the stairs, a small floor workout every day, that kind of stuff. So I went to the doctor to ask "what the heck"? Turns out I have a sickness that makes losing weight very difficult. At that point I said "whatever, I won't focus on losing weight, I'll focus on becoming healthier." So I ended up going to the gym. The first three times were horrible! I was throwing up and wanted to die. But, I knew if I didn't go I probably would die from being so unhealthy. So I kept going at least three time's a week. From that I've moved on to going almost every day. I do a workout that's good for every day (I'll leave the routine at the bottom), I went from eating take out from 2-3 times a week to maybe once a month. Low and behold, I've lost 38 lbs thus far! And while there isn't a huge difference in this picture I do enjoy that I went from looking frumpy to looking kind of thicc! I feel so much better, I get more done, and I'm a happier person overall. Anyway, I guess the point of this story is, don't focus on just "losing weight". Focus on loving yourself enough to work to be the best version of you possible!! Daily Workout:
I also toss in 15 min of core exercises every other day. Mostly planks and this machine that's in the gym like a row boat. [link] [comments] |
| I’m going to get going already. Posted: 13 Sep 2020 10:22 PM PDT So I'm sitting about 265 pounds at 6'2". I've been athletic as a kid, got very overweight about grade nine onwards. This last year I've lost a lot of weight, about 35 pounds. This has been largely without any real physical exercise, and not much discipline. Genuinely I just started drinking water more often, soda less, and more often than not i maintained some semblance of portion control. (Comparatively speaking). But a few days ago, my 'luck' ran out. My girlfriend of two years dropped the bomb that she felt she had to break up, and moved out that very day. I've been so anxious and depressed, so sad I couldn't stand up. So I went for an evening walk trying to force my legs to carry me and dispel this pent up emotional energy. I got them moving and I could hardly stop them. For fifteen minutes, I ran (a half ass speed walk/jog, really). I just moved and moved and it hurt and I felt like it was just burning all the sad in my legs and feet. Fuck this feeling sorry for myself and waiting for the world to fix itself around me. It's time to get'r goin. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2020 09:22 AM PDT Today I'm officially down 50 lbs! About a year ago I started a Keto diet and walking. Starting at 275 the weight came off pretty fast fast at first and I found it was pretty easy. I just cut out carbs, at mostly meat, and didn't worry about tracking much other than how much I was walking. Then I stalled around 5 months in when Covid hit. I was stuck at 237. Because of the initial Covid fear, I started using weights instead of walking, and my scale didn't move at all for those few months. Then I injured my back doing deadlifts incorrectly and was out ANOTHER few months. But then 3 1/2 months ago I started walking again and it still was barely coming off. I decided to start counting my calories and found out I was DRASTICALLY coming in under my caloric amount. Typically around 1100 when I should have been doing 1600. I started eating more and it started coming off again. Today I track what I eat almost every day, once you get into a groove it's pretty much the same, and hit 50 lbs off! Can't believe that I'm finally here but I can't wait to keep losing! Progress pictures: https://imgur.com/a/vHVhqQo [link] [comments] |
| Help with things to do other than eat! Posted: 14 Sep 2020 01:27 AM PDT Hi all! I went on a weight loss journey two or so years ago, I got down to 130lbs from 210lbs (5'2F), maintained it for a little while, and now I'm back at 180lbs. I'm devastated. My clothes are tight, I'm uncomfortable, I feel awful and look worse. I feel hurt and betrayed by people who promised me they would tell me if I gained a significant amount of weight, and I feel stupid for relying on them for that when it wasn't a reasonable expectation to have of them in the first place. I know I have intense issues with my self esteem that need addressing, so I'm already attending counselling. This last week has been just slightly better since I got on the scale and saw how bad it had gotten, but I'm struggling to get back to the mind set I was in when I first lost weight. I just want to eat all the time. I need things to occupy myself with, and was wondering what you guys do? [link] [comments] |
| How to overcome exhaustion to make good choices? Posted: 14 Sep 2020 02:51 AM PDT Hello all, I am a teacher and during quarantine I was able to shed about 30lbs through cico and a lot of movement. I was so happy and am about halfway to my gw. This school year is unlike anything I've ever done before and I am wrecked all the time. I am trying to keep up little choices to stay on track but I have been working from dawn til dusk and then struggling to get enough sleep. Does anyone have any tips about how I can combat this? In the past I've turned to heavily sweetened coffee and am definitely trying lots of water instead, but it's very hard to stay on track in all things when I'm feeling so drained. Thank you guys for all of your motivation on this sub. I so enjoy it. [link] [comments] |
| Let's find a way to save my father from giving up!�� Posted: 13 Sep 2020 05:47 PM PDT Hi Reddit My father is a 65 years old pensioner, ex judo player, and trainer. Been very active most of his life, even if he is obese from his 40's (130-135kg- 175cm). 5 years ago my father had a work accident and his back broke, now he has a metal plate with 6 screws in his back. Also both his knees need surgery, he is walking with the help of "sticks" right now. The problem is that, if he does not lose 30 kg, he cannot get the surgery for his knee. Right now he cannot make a lot of movement, so exercises are very limited. How can I help my dad lose 30 kg considering he cannot make to much movement. Also, he has gout and psoriasis(to make an idea of what he can, and cannot eat). We had today a conversation when he admitted that he is super down sometimes, not being able to move, and that literally broke my heart. Knowing me is such a strong person, for him to say that, I know it's serious. Please let's help him, I am determined to help him and be there for him but I don't know what to do! [link] [comments] |
| After surpassing my highest weight, I’m finally back on the right track losing weight and I’m happy Posted: 14 Sep 2020 12:46 AM PDT Hello everyone In 2017 I started a strict diet of eating 1200 calories per day. That worked out and I went from 175 pounds to 145. 3 years post college life of partying and eating the worst foods possible, I went up to 195 - 200 pounds. I have never been that heavy in my life. Just terrible. People and my family would tell me my face is so fat which was true and I just had to look in the mirror and then check my weight on the scale. I couldn't believe I reached 200 pounds. I never ever went past 180 in my lifetime(24 years old). So I spent the last few months eating like how I was in 2017 and I'm down 20 pounds so far. Sitting at 180(last Friday). This Friday, I may break into the 170's which is huge for me. Means I'm doing well and back on the right track. I was most happy with myself at around 155 pounds. I loved my face, I loved my body, I was able to date left and right. I'm thankful to still be with one of the people I started dating 2 years ago. Anyways I was just happy and I can't wait to be back in that happy place. Sorry I just had to share that. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:33 PM PDT March 2019 I went through a rough break up and decided to start getting serious about losing weight. I did CICO and ate 1200 calories/day while going on walks and bike rides frequently and lost 35 lbs in about 4-5 months. I have maintained at around 140-143 since then besides one month last winter being up around 150. I had chest surgery 8 weeks ago and that has set me back a lot in terms of my eating habits and activity level. Of course Covid has had a huge effect on that as well, but its mostly just due to eating like shit and laying around. I've cut myself a lot of slack because I was recovering, but I'm ready to get back to normal and really get serious about losing weight again. I'm unfortunately back at the point where I just can't stand to look in the mirror most of the time because I feel fat. Its affecting what I wear, what I do, and is making me feel awful. CICO isn't working anymore and I feel like my best bet is to combine IF and much cleaner eating habits while slowing integrating some exercise. I really want to reach my goal weight by my birthday in December. Its difficult to balance all this while working full time, but I'd like to somewhat finish this weight loss journey by the time I start school again next January. I'm not able to work out like normal for about three more months due to needing to be careful about stretching the scars that go across my chest, and I'm too nervous about covid to go to the gym anyways, so thats why I'm wanting to lose so much weight. I'm short and have always been overweight and would just like to enjoy feeling healthy before I worry about gaining a lot of muscle. If you have any tips or kind words to share, feel free! Hopefully I can look back at this post in three months and feel a lot better about myself, be able to look in the mirror without feeling gross, not have issues with disordered eating again, and feel all around healthier.

| 2 weeks slow weight loss then 2 weeks plateau every month Posted: 14 Sep 2020 01:17 AM PDT Hello, i started my weight loss journey in mid April at (84kg) 185 lbs im a 5"5(165cm) female now at (69kg) 150 lbs my ultimate goal weight is 130lbs. I did keto and intermittent fasting for the first 3 month then slowly reintroduced carbs back in my diet while maintaining the same calories deficit. I know its fairly normal that weight loss slow down the closer you get to goal weight but i only see a drop in weight for like 10 days an then nothing for 2 weeks or more no matter what i do cutting more long fast working out. My TDEE is 1500kcal and i eat between 1000 and 1200kcal. Im starting to get really discouraged, only lost 1lbs the last month while being really strict. I appreciate any advice. [link] [comments] |

| Switched to Loseit, and now my meals are hobbit meals Posted: 13 Sep 2020 08:36 AM PDT Okay - so I made the switch to Loseit due to the high number of people on this thread saying it is awesome, and so far I like it. The best feature? That you can rename your meals! I now officially have calorie allotments for Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner and Supper! I know its nerdy and unnecessary, but I am learning that weight loss is a long game and anything I can do to get excited about logging my food is a good thing. Any of you Loseit folks have particularly cool features I should look out for? Or does anyone else have fun things they do to keep going? [link] [comments] |
| PSA: If you're having trouble losing weight- Check with multiple doctors! Posted: 13 Sep 2020 06:51 AM PDT I have been having trouble losing weight for years. So I hired a personal trainer and got a new primary care doctor that didn't just nod and smile when I brought up concerns. Unrelatedly, a coworker had suggested seeing an ENT because I was having problems with my sinuses and we're Flight Attendants which can make that worse. So, first I went to the ENT. Not only do I have a deviated septum but I also have constantly swollen nasal turbinates. We did an allergy test which alerted us that I am allergic to everything. Like I am constantly having an allergic reaction which makes my body kinda swollen, gives me a 24/7 post nasal drip and its hard to breathe. I also have asthma, so it's double hard to breathe. Not only that but my PCP and Personal Trainer suspect everything wrong with my nose has given me sleep apnea. Sleep Apnea makes it difficult to lose weight. So I will be getting allergy shots and a Septoplasty to fix my nose. I also had a nexplanon implant. One of the possible side effects is weight gain/trouble losing weight. So we had that taken out to see what happens. I also suffered from anorexia, so my metabolism is quite messed up which is also making it extremely difficult to lose weight. Apparently it's common for former anorexics to gain a ton of weight when then recover. I also take medication for Bipolar Disorder. The side effect from my main one (that I unfortunately can't change) is weight gain. And none of this has anything to do with how much food I eat. Both the Doctor and the Personal Trainer after tracking everything I ate for a few weeks said I don't eat enough to be as heavy as I am and I have an extremely active job. So this is a PSA, sometimes it's not that you aren't putting enough effort in! Please check with multiple doctors! You might find out something needs to be fixed. [link] [comments] |

| I gained 4lbs in one day, but I'm not concerned. Posted: 13 Sep 2020 02:24 PM PDT Well, I've been back on the wagon since mid-August after gaining around 10lbs back during quarantine. I've managed to lose 5-6lbs since then, so seeing the scale jump up so high is scary. However, I'm not going to give up or give in despite what the scale tells me. It was just one day. Today is brand new, a clean slate. I planned to attend a special event for almost a year now (in this case, a small wedding for a good friend). I knew I would indulge in the food and take full advantage of the open bar. At the end of the day, I ate a little of a lot of things! I had a great time. I don't regret it. One night of excess won't ruin a lifetime of moderation and careful choices if I don't let it. For the curious, here's a log of everything I ate and drank. If you're a snacker and sample enthusiast like me (looking at you Costco/Trader Joes), this will show how those "tastes" tally up: BRUNCH
Total = 1,560 calories DINNER
Total = 1165 calories ALCOHOL/DRINKS
Total = 1,075 calories Grand Total = 3,800 calories, rounded up to 4,000 calories to be "safe." Here's why I'm not freaking out: My daily TDEE is around 1700, so I went around 2,300 calories over. Of course, this is all fuzzy math -- I didn't prepare the food. Still, there's no way I could have gained 4lbs in one day mathematically speaking. That would mean eating over 20,000 calories in one night which I know I can't do. I just had a small plate of pancakes for linner (lunch + dinner). Going to have a glass of my favorite green juice later for a snack. As long as I keep up healthy habits, the water weight will drop off and I'll be back to where I was in a week or two. For others who may be going through the same thing after a cheat day, cheat weekend or a binge, I'll update this post once my weight normalizes again. It's just water weight, maybe a smidgeon of fat which I'll lose again soon with my 1200cal/day limit. I promise you our progress isn't over because of one (or two days) of indulgences.

| 26 kgs fat loss transformation ( 57 lbs ) Posted: 14 Sep 2020 03:07 AM PDT Hey guys I just lost 26 kgs as weight and I wanted to share this with u guys. Before: https://gyazo.com/057c2221956fd9909b652b11fc3e288b https://gyazo.com/0b2482d364241028f61515c4f1396612 ( sorry for the quality, thats the best I got ) Back then I was permanently gaming, depressed, sad, lonely, I hated my life and my look. I always had the feeling I need tochange something because I had some health problems but nothing really hit me, or as everyone say "I had no motivation". Later I realised that motivation doesnt happen by chance, out of nowhere, but u create the motivation by forcing urself and pushing urself out of the zone of comfort. Motivation comes with results. My life back then was school, 12h of video games and sleep and I repeat this every day. when I started I was legit lost in the gym, had no idea, no motivation, lazy as hell and I most of the times when i promised my friends i will go i mostly just ditched it. Didnt feel like going and prefered the PC. Even though I loved the PC and I was freaking good at it I felt like this isnt the life I wanna live, it just wasnt my thing, I didnt find purpose. But last summer one girl I loved for a lot of years I finally got to tell her when we were some friends on a vacation ( back then I was rlly shy and couldnt talk to girls ). She just said "OK" and at night when I was "asleep" she fucked my best friend. I felt betrayed, stabbed in my back and I had 2 options, either do something about it or get depressed and lose myself in drugs and alocohol. I think I picked up the right choice. 1 month after a family member, really close one whom I spent half of my childhood with, tought me a lot of useful things, commited suicide and I kinda felt responsible for it because of my laziness I was avoiding to go see him because he lives in other village. I am a very good listener and since he was in depression I could've helped him pass through it but this didnt happen. After those 2 things I got hyped up and started going to the gym more and more, reading everything as many times as possible about food and programs so I can educate myself and ofc I started seeing results. Those pictures are since I started and now ( I was cutting 3 months this is the result of the cut ) and now I started bulking. Now: https://gyazo.com/a8aaab2364a92b6bbda058e9ce5c7434 I just felt like sharing with u guys in my eyes I will always be fat and stuff. Will always think that I look bad but the main reason I wanted to share is to help other people lose weight and reach their goal. If I can do it anyone can! I am 18 years old btw and I train for 1.9y in total, seriously for 1 year. Also wanted to ask if I make a fat loss motivational video would it be inspiring for the people trying to solve the biggest problem known worldwide also know as losing weight? If you have any questions ask I will be more than happy to answer and thanks for ur time to read my story. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Sep 2020 02:45 PM PDT I have chronic pain unrelated to weight. There aren't a lot of things I can do for pleasure, anymore. Even typing hurts. Eating is really one of the only things I can do w/ regularity that brings me significant pleasure. I lost about 40 lbs, and like, I can do that no problem. Will power is not a problem for me. I quit overnight after being a hardcore alcoholic for three years, I quit smoking overnight after five. My diet was going well until I had this breaking moment where I realized how good unhealthy food was, and how much of it I used to have, and how staying on course meant a lifetime of underwhelming food. I'm not saying vegetables are yucky, I'm not six, but kale isn't the product of millions of dollars worth of food science research. Junk food is a supernormal stimulus, like it or not it taps into your caveman brain. My decisions aren't health driven. I quit my other addictions because the pain to pleasure ratio wasn't worth it. With food, I don't know. It's hard not to convince myself that life is a horrible downward spiral to the end, that we're all born without our consent, and flaming hot cheetos are delicious. So I gained 50 pounds. I'm at a loss as to what to do. I don't really want to get off this train. There just isn't a lot to look forward to for me, and food is just really, really good. It's instant high quality gratification that I can't get anywhere else. I don't like sex, I don't like video games, and I'm in so much pain that on my days off I barely leave my bed. I'm doing pills, I'm doing therapy, I even blew thousands of dollars on ketamine treatments. My anxiety and depression are pretty well under control. I'm not saying my choices aren't a product of mental illness, but I also think it's easy to pathologize and by extension dismiss socially unacceptable decisions. I was hoping to get some new takes, or advice from other people who have been here. I can't keep sitting in my own head, and this is such a warm and thoughtful community I'm hoping this would be a good place to get some perspective. tl;dr I want to be hot, but I also... love food. I can't justify the choice to eat healthy because it ruins one of the only things that makes me happy. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Sep 2020 10:30 AM PDT A little over 10 years ago I joined Reddit to participate in this community. I was 21 years old, over 240 lbs, and my doctor told me I was starting to have health problems because of it. I lost over 100 lbs, started running, and everything was great! I kept the weight off from about 2012 - 2015. In 2016, I was working full time in an office job, teaching part-time online, writing my dissertation, and looking for a full-time teaching position. Every ounce of self-care started to slip. I stopped exercising, stopped counting calories, everything. Still, I didn't gain THAT much weight. It was a really stressful time. I told myself it would get better after the stress went away. But it didn't. I had to start a new job, then go through a second job search, sell my house, move to another state, and start a new job again. The house I moved into had a terrible kitchen. I started getting takeout all the time and drinking (alcohol) too much. I found myself nearly back at my original weight. During these times I would try to restart exercising and calories sporadically but it never stuck. Quarantine finally did me in. I'm a college professor and it was pretty stressful. I started eating tons of junk food, drinking every day, plus I wasn't even teaching on my feet anymore. I regained the last of the weight. Fortunately, eventually, being stuck at home all the time led me to try to get back in shape. I completed c25k (although I could only "run" 2 miles in the 30 minutes by the time it was done), then moved on to other at-home workouts 3 times per week (way too hot outside to run in my shape), and started logging my food again. I haven't lost much weight yet but I feel like I'm finally committed again. Any others here on round 2 of their journey? I really regret where I am, but regret won't change anything now.

| Light breakfast ideas for someone who struggles to stomach breakfast in the work week? Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:49 PM PDT Hey all! I have recently started a new job (In the pandemic, I know!) and to go along with that have also recently started metformin. I now as a result get up real early and need to eat breakfast before I go to work. A) because I won't have the chance to have my lunch until 1 and b) because I need to take the metformin with breakfast. The issue is that the thought of eating that early most days makes me feel sick and I need something non/ low carb and super light so I can eat it. I was having 50 cal bread and eggs and that was working until I had it every day for a week and now I can't look at that either 😂 so I need to alternate some other breakfasts into the mix Any ideas would be appreciated and you may just save my gross morning breakfast force down ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Thanks guys!

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 13 Posted: 13 Sep 2020 03:03 PM PDT Hello losers, Working on a Sunday feels like working 3 days somehow blergh. Changing routines doing me dirty. Weight by end of month (199 lbs, preferably trend weight): 210 this morning. Stay within calorie range (1500 weekdays, maintenance weekends, NO FAST FOOD): Maintenance on this lovely weekend day. Exercise 5 days a week: Rest day kids. 11/13 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 5/10 days): Work. Meal prep. That's enough adulting for today. 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: I'm mindful of my mental fatigue. I shall put it to bed early tonight! Your turn! [link] [comments] |
| Beginning with questions. Advice needed! Posted: 13 Sep 2020 11:41 PM PDT Hi everybody! I'm (19F) relatively new to the weight loss world. I never really had a problem with weight until this year when I gained 50 pounds randomly. I used to be 150 and I am now 200. I am not an active person at all and I love food so this is going to be challenging. I joined a gym and so far have been working out every other day. I have been stocking my fridge with fresh fruits, veggies, vegan frozen dinners for when I'm in a hurry, and low calorie versions of things that I would usually buy the regular version of. I have also cut out soda and have been cutting down on red meat. I wanted to ask you guys if you had any additional tips or tricks for a beginner like me. I also wanted to know if you guys struggle with staying full. I've been finding I eat even more now since my meals aren't as fulfilling. But I mainly try to stick with veggies and fruits or hard boiled eggs as my snack. I'm also wondering if this is even really a problem since it tends to be healthy snacks. All advice and tips are greatly appreciated and I'm very eager to see some responses!! [link] [comments] |
