| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 01:10 PM PDT Yes, it sucks because it takes longer than running. But has anyone noticed the calorie burn from walking doesn't make them reciprocally hungry/appetite (aka more likely to eat those calories back) ? I've had too much time on my hands since CO-VID and not a big running fan, but wanted to create a higher deficit via cardio. I didn't realize walking burns about the same amount of calories as running ***per mile & negating EPOC (which vastly over estimated)***. I've been walking about 10 miles a day and creating a 1,000 calorie deficit with like no hunger. The days I run and say screw it lets get these calories burned faster, I just end up ravenously hungry and mentally (especially 4-5 hours post run) I get ravenously hungry. TLDR: I don't know I just didn't realize how much easier it is to maintain a high deficit via walking vs. running... it takes longer, but mentally it honestly seems faster too (been going to local park trails and just watching 4 episodes on Netflix and boom it's over). I do lift 3-4x a week by the way. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 06:23 AM PDT Since February 2020 I made a decision to be a vegitarien because its better for the environment. When I made this decision I also told myself I would meal prep and lose weight. It has taken me 8 months but I'm officially down 30 lbs! 8 months seems like a long time for 30 lbs but I haven't always been the absolute best at staying consistent with my diet. On a busy week that I dont have time to cook/meal prep I've had to stop for a bite somewhere. I will say that since ive made this commitment I feel 10 times better. I dont feel as sluggish anymore im happier and I feel way more confident. It is also a positive change that I am proud of because of the benefits to the environment. I will happily answer any questions you have about my journey! Edit: I am 5'3. In the first pic I was 167 lbs, in the second pic I am 137 lbs. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 05:32 PM PDT Starting this journey to healthier me. My wife of 10+ years just moved out said she was unhappy and no longer attracted to me. We have 2 kids together and I am devastated. I can't decide if mentally I'm doing this for me or to try to win her back. Hopefully this is some sort of wake up call and the changes will be real and permanent. However I do miss her and wish that we could be husband and wife again. I'm scared to go on the scale and see what it says. Not sure what the best route is, I've been waking up early and walking on the treadmill followed up with a smoothie in the morning (fruits and veggies). I'm reminded of a movie I watched when I was a teenager "American Beauty" and Kevin Spacey's character starts running with his neighbors and they ask him why he wants to get in shape and he simply responds "I want to look good naked!"

| Posted: 30 Sep 2020 01:06 AM PDT Hey y'all, second time poster here. I started the top of 2019 at 330 and began working with a nutritionist May 2019. This weeks weigh in was 273.4-the weight is going down ☺️ I'd reached the point a while ago where my body is pretty used to the new eating habits and can't handle junk/heavily processed foods well. I do have one hopeful note for folks working on weight loss, better eating habits, etc: when you slip up or have an off day/week/month, give yourself some grace and get back on when you can. Plus, the more you stick to it the more your body will nudge you and tell you what you need to do. More the than 2 days without a green will have my body like "girl...get it together". Be well!

| Can’t seem to squeeze in exercise during corona? Fake commute every morning! Posted: 30 Sep 2020 12:17 AM PDT I mentioned this in an other post, but since so many people liked the idea I thought I would share it in a seperate post. Now that so many of us are working from home incidental exercise has been cut out of our daily routines. For many of us we walked to the train each morning to get to work, or walked to the bus or even walked to work. Now that work is mostly at home this seemingly insignificant exercise has been lost, but no exercise is ever insignificant and it adds up. The solution: fake commute to work every morning and make it part of your routine. Everyday before I sit down at my desk I take a 30-40min walk around the park and listen to my audiobook and treat myself to a coffee. This way I can start my day with some exercise and start my day right by getting in the mindset of work. I find that it helps me clear my head, mentally prepare and gives me a bit of energy to kickstart the day. If you dislike walking, or cannot seem to find the time of day to do it I recommend fake commuting since it is a routine you are already used to, and you are just adding it back into your life again.

| A simple but important reminder! Posted: 29 Sep 2020 01:38 PM PDT Today I passed my halfway point in my weight loss journey. I am immensely proud of myself because I haven't been in the 160's in at least four years. Upon seeing how much I had lost, I felt my stomach drop. I felt burdened by how much I saw I still needed to lose. But I stopped myself in my tracks. I told myself to stfu and not worry about how much further I have to go. I reminded myself to simply be proud of how far I have come. So, my reminder to you all, take a look back at your progress and celebrate it.. and celebrate it some more. Keep going and don't worry about how much more you have to go, you'll get there soon enough. [link] [comments] |
| Just starting out, need to lose 172 pounds, feeling scared and alone Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:06 AM PDT I feel very alone and kind of hopeless in this. My doctor gave me some very strong and unsettling test results demonstrating my need to lose weight. Specifically, I'd need to lose 172 pounds to reach the goal BMI she set for me. Otherwise, I'm at risk of developing some very undesirable medical complications. I am 1 week into my new lifestyle of eating better and exercising, and I'm so scared that it just won't be enough. I'm scared that it's impossible to lose this amount of weight. Scared that the medical complications will end up developing anyways because I will always be severely obese. I don't know what I'm doing in this weight loss effort, and I have no one to talk to about this. The doctor referred me to the weight management program at my clinic, and I had my first meeting with them today. It's clear to me that their goal is to fast-track all weight management patients into bariatric surgery. She gave this long pitch explaining that using diet and exercise can only help you lose a certain percentage of your body weight, and after that, your body will fight against you to lose any more. She says that bariatric surgery is the *only* option if I want to see substantial weight loss for the long term. And even then, the surgery won't help me lose even half of the total amount of weight I need to drop. Plus there's always a risk of regaining it. Listening to her made me feel absolutely hopeless. This is a very emotionally challenging issue, stemming from a long childhood/teenage life of extreme diets and eating disorders encouraged by my anorexic mother. And so, they also referred me to a therapist who specializes in eating disorders and nutritional health. But her schedule is booked so far out that I can't start talking to her until the end of JANUARY. God, this is just a lot for someone to deal with all alone and have no one to talk to about it. I hope one of you might care. [link] [comments] |
| 100 day CICO! Ex-bf’s Facebook updates inspired me! Posted: 29 Sep 2020 10:46 AM PDT 5'7"/35/f SW: 170 CW: 145.8 GW: 140ish Always been a couch potato but have participated in intramural sports even as an adult. I've run 2 half marathons and enjoy being somewhat active. My weight was highest during grad school when I lived alone and didn't have healthiest mental support. Got to the very edge of 200 but never tipped over. After grad school, pretty quickly dropped 20 lbs with a more regular lifestyle. Always thought if I exercised more, I'd see faster results but every time I trained for a race I would gain weight. I thought I was destined to be at 170-180 forever. Then I saw a before/after photo of an ex on Facebook. Immediately I was so jealous. Why does he get to lose weight? He's got kids and a busy job! Where does he find the time?? Why does he deserve to look good and I not? I soon realized that that's not an appropriate response. We BOTH can lose weight and we can BOTH be happy! Life and happiness is not a zero-sum game. I found this page and read the sidebars. I immediately downloaded MFP. I did as the compendium said: the first week I just tracked. The first time week I lost 2 pounds. So I changed my goal to lose 0.5 lbs/week. I kept losing 2 lbs/week. Until I plateaued. I changed it to 1lb/week. The whoosh came. I walk ~15-30 min/day with one 60 min walk on weekends. I never believed I could lose weight without being a gym rat. I was wrong. CICO works. [link] [comments] |
| Small week 1 victory: I can finish a walk feeling like I enjoyed it Posted: 29 Sep 2020 03:42 PM PDT I think a lot of you saw my post earlier where I talked about the heavy heart I've got as I approach this lifestyle change. There is one silver lining that is already motivating me to do more: I can walk a full mile. A mile may seem like child's play to most. But on my first 1 mile walk last week, it hurt SO BAD. I was short of breath by a quarter mile, and my legs were killing me by a half mile. I had to sit down and take a break. Could hardly get up the stairs to my apartment when I was done. Just one week later, I'm doing a mile and a quarter with easy breathing, no pain, and an actual desire to keep on walking because I'm rediscovering that I love it. This progress way exceeded my week 1 expectations. [link] [comments] |
| To those who say "junk" food is gross to them now - really? Really really? Posted: 29 Sep 2020 05:04 PM PDT I'm looking for hope in this post. I am calling to the heavens for the willpower to keep this going. I've been tracking calories on Lose It! In a month I've gotten no where. I haven't gained, but instead I've just yo-yo'd the same 5 pounds. I've lurked in all the subs. I've seen so many yummy looking meals. Healthy, whole food meals. It still doesn't stop me from overeating on junk. Sweets and carbs are my enemies. Fast food is another. I crave them like a fucking addict. It effects my mood, even. I find myself in a shitty or restless mood until I finally cave. I see people often saying that after eating good, whole foods for a while, that junk food and sugar seems unappealing if they decide to indulge. That they don't have the cravings anymore, or rarely. Did this happen to you? Do you truly find you crave "junk" less? I look at myself now and that seems so hard to imagine. I want to crave those healthy foods. I want to eat healthier. I'm trying. I didn't give this journey enough credit for how difficult it would be. I came home and had what I THOUGHT was a few snacks. Turns out it was nearly 800 calories of bullshit. I still feel like I could eat a full dinner. I'm really hoping this gets easier. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:19 PM PDT Now im about 45lbs from my goal weight, M14 SW260, GW190, CW235. So I figured that I would share why I lost weight and am currently losing weight. I have a couple of reasons, the least important of which would be for vanity and to get a girlfriend. But the biggest reason would be to release my emotional turmoil and pain that surrounds my weight. Ive always been the big kid in school, I weighed 190lbs in 3rd grade and didn't aknowledge my weight until some time later. It wasn't until about 5th grade or 6th grade when I became truly self aware and very looks concious about myself. There is just that feeling of constant sadness and having to hide behind the mask of being the funny fat kid that isn't actually funny and is just annoying. I could handle the bullying and the teasing because to me it wasn't the words that were said that hurt because when I was called a fat ass or fat fuck it was just confirming something I already knew. But the words that went un spoken hurt the most, the fear that the people who don't bully or tease you are calling you a fat slob in their head and you don't know it. My way to prevent this was to be extremely nice or to be so vocally hateful to myself about my weight around other people that they wouldn't have a reason to think that about me. And in reality it just made me look like a douche bag, I was and still am so sad and unhappy that the only thing keeping me going on this weight loss is the constant self hate and insecurities that drive me in everything I do. And that light at the end of the tunnel gets a little brighter everyday. [link] [comments] |
| Losing the last three kilos is impossible Posted: 29 Sep 2020 11:48 PM PDT My weight loss isn't as dramatic as some but I'm still proud. Last year I was able to go from 68kg (150lbs) to 58 kg(128lbs). It was a lot of getting up at 6am to run on the treadmill, daily salads and avoiding boozy nights like a limbo pole, but I managed it! My height is 162cm (5'3) so I'm now smack bang in the middle of a healthy BMI. My waist measurement is in the healthy range and all my other vitals are perfect. I know I should be happy. And I am! But I set myself a goal which was 55kg. No matter what I've tried, it's stayed at a plateau all of this year. I know that resistance training helps so I've been doing 40 minute sets three days a week with five days cardio. I've bumped up my walking to 12k steps a day. I'm keeping track of my calories with an average of 1500 a day but my weight just. Won't. Budge! I know weight isn't everything and there are other ways to measure things. But I'm a completionist. I want that rush of satisfaction. Honestly I'm just having a whinge but I needed to get it off my chest. Thanks for reading. Good luck with all your journeys! [link] [comments] |

| I lost 60kg, gained back 40kg then lost another 30kg, here's what they don't tell you. Posted: 29 Sep 2020 08:26 AM PDT I've been a fat kid my whole life. Idk if it was because I was taught poor eating habits, or if im lazy or what. When I was 16 I had to have an operation which required general anaesthetic. I went to the anaesthesioligist, and as per the norm I was weighed. 153.6 kilograms, at 16 (2012). I've never been more embarrassed in my life than that moment. My mum was choking back tears, I was choking back tears - it was awful. I decided that enough was enough and started running and eating less. By 2014, I had lost 65kg. I was what i had wanted to be my entire life, average (if not a little on the skinny side). However, all the things people promise when I started didn't really come to fruition. Women were interested in me, but it was so hard to believe it. I was still so insecure because as cliche as it sounds, I really struggled to believe in the change that I could see. I became so incredibly vein... worried about what people were thinking or saying... I was much more concerned with people's perception of me when I was skinny than when I was fat. This was because I knew what they thought, and I accepted it. But this. This was horrible, it was exhausting. I stayed at 80/90kg for about a year a bit, and then I slipped back into old habits. Which led me to the middle of 2018, where I was back up to 135kg. To be honest, I think my mental health was better at this point. However, it wasn't who I wanted to be. I figured out during this whole thing that I love exercise. I love being able to run, walk and play basketball. At 135kg it's not really possible to do these things without getting injured. So, I decided to lose weight. I've lost 25kg of fat since June 2018, which im really happy with. Something else I've done is join a gym, and begun to lose weight. As I've lost weight and the inevitable loose skin has returned, this has helped me remain confident throughout it all. I think its super important to remember that you aren't defined by your weight. And why it is important to be healthy, its important to do it for the right reasons. Don't be like me and do it because you think all your mental issues are gonna be fixed, because more than likely they won't. Also, this isn't a race to a destination, its a never ending marathon - there's no room for becoming complacent and falling back into old habits. You got this. I got this, we got this.

| it just dawned on me what i achieved and i want you to achieve the same! YOU CAN DO IT! Posted: 30 Sep 2020 12:38 AM PDT i have always been the „fat friend". It never really bugged me too much because after all people wanted to have me around because of my personality rather than my looks. however - as you all might have experiences as well - being overweight in this society is very difficult (speaking as a woman here but it's the same for every human being). This starts with small stuff like buying jeans and ends with big things like bullying. i was at a bad place, felt left behind because all my friends were healthy, fit, they moved more and spend more time outside - i have always been the lazy friend you'd visit after a run because she lives en route. So i decided to change. After a wonderful summer holyday in italy i threw away all the trash food (or gave away what hasn't been opened yet), bought nutritious alternatives. I did research, learned about dieting, learned about why one could fail and learned about how one could succeed and for me it all boiled down to one thing: determination. for the first 3 months I changed my diet significantly: - i stopped eating sugar completely (because i felt it was a good lecture) - i went low carb in addition to that i did HIIT at home 3 times a week! after these three months i continued working out but in addition added more smaller things like walking everywhere, taking the stairs, parking further away from the entrance - just overall moving more. i also reintroduced carbs into my diet in the form of whole grains and legumes and sugar from fruits and agave/maple. I am also eating 90% plant based with the occasional salmon or seafood but that's rare. this was two years ago. i lost 25Kg which seems to be very little but i am only 160cm/5"1 and my starting weight was 75Kg. i managed to hold my new weight for 1 year now and i am so so so proud of myself. Without determination (especially in the long run) i would have already failed. but i want to stay this way - i feel amazing. you all can do it!!! Stay determined! it is hard and takes a lot of discipline (and there are and will be highs and lows cough wedding season cough ) but hang in there!!! and don't stress too much - you can do it!!!

| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 05:53 PM PDT To start with, let's get the disclaimer out of the way: THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. I don't know you or your particular situation. Your doctor should. This is why this post is about going to them. Now that that's out of the way, welcome to the post! These are some reasons why you want to see your doctor when you start a diet, and who especially may want to call them.
This could be any number of things, from high blood pressure, to diabetes, to NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). They can check for all of these things on your labs, and let you know how best to treat those. Also, your weight loss may be at least partially due to a treatable disease! (Or a med that they put you on.) This goes into point 2:
If you're diabetic and thinking about intermittent fasting, you could end up becoming hypoglycemic (too low blood sugar). If you've got any heart conditions, high intensity exercise may not be the best idea. If you've already got joint pain, they can give you recommendations for what type of exercise will minimize the strain on those joints to stop you from getting permanent joint damage. And if you're thinking of trying any weird internet supplements, please don't. Depending on the supplement, your doctor can tell you what it will do to you, but anything off of the internet isn't regulated and could have harmful fillers. (A regular multivitamin is fine.).
If you're on an anticoagulant, don't start eating a bunch of spinach and leafy greens without talking to your doctor. If you're on lithium or any sort of ibuprofen/naproxen, not getting enough liquid in a day will mess up your kidneys. If you're on oral diabetes medications, you could get hypoglycemic or really sick. Your doctor can tell you what diets are okay for the meds that you're on, and what modifications you may need to make for your conditions.
Yes, you can check your own weight. But they can check your cholesterol and blood sugars, and let you know how you're doing on reducing your risk of disease. (Also, they should be encouraging you and cheering you on! If not, find a new doctor.) So, who especially should see a doctor? For my US friends, if you have insurance, you should have one of these visits with the blood tests covered under a "preventive screening/yearly well exam". If you're uninsured, see if your city has free or reduced-price clinics—especially if your city has a medical school, you can get free visits with cheap or free labs, with great care. If you're out of the US, I don't know your healthcare system. A lot of doctors are also doing telehealth right now, which means you could talk to them from home, and then just go to the lab for the blood work. Usually these visits are a bit cheaper.

| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 05:16 PM PDT So I'm a large dude and I sweat when I start exercising. If youre familiar with gym wear you may know Under Armor generally makes solid, albeit expensive products. This mask you can buy costs $30 and is NOT worth the cost. If you're a sweater and you've worked out you likely get it, masks start choking you once they get super wet (your own personal waterboarding experience, delightful!) So I thought perhaps this masks would do better for me, it did not. It choked me the same way my $5 masks did and also left a horrible taste in my mouth even after washing it. The ear loops are also made from the same material as their shirt which means as time goes on these will loosen. The mouth and nose are a thick comforter-like material to not only overheat you but expedite the whole choking issue. Even if you ARENT a super-sweater they also don't allow returns. I ended up talking to my bank and im trying to dispute the charge. In case you're wondering what I do, I bring 2 masks, one I wear until its drenched then swap in the next one. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 07:27 PM PDT A weird thing happened to me today. It's weird because I have been on and off dieting all my life. It's something I know, but never actually paused and really thought about it. Backstory: I've never been crazy overweight, and I do hit my goals eventually. Just never on target or even close to target. I'm what you would call a wheel spinner. 2 steps forward, 4 steps back. "Ok I'll make up for it" mentality. 4 steps forward, 2 steps back. The cycle goes on and on until I eventually, and very stressfully - hit the goal. I don't know why just now after all these years this simple and very obvious fact dawned on me. As I was plowing down around 5,000 calories on my cheat day Sunday, here I go again. "I'll make up for this during the week." And I do... but I lose 3 days of progress making up for my temporary pleasurable decision. I won't be making progress again until Thursday. This is where the epiphany set in. I can keep eating and eating and just put days and days of progress behind me... But on my best diet day, hell even if I fasted and had a long gruesome workout, the best I could do is maybe get 1 day back. And that's it. Obvious I know, but I have no idea how I never paused to think about it this way. Thank you for listening. TLDR; Became very aware that your worst cheat days will always be better than your best diet days. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 04:55 PM PDT As the headline says, last night I caved in and ate two (big) cookies that my housemate had baked. They were absolutely fantastic, but I was so annoyed at myself for eating two when one would have sufficed. I was so full after one and a half so I beat myself up for finishing. This is my third week of my diet, and it's been going great so far. I walk everyday for 30-40min as part of my physio and eat 1200cal ish per day. I don't fuss too much if I go over a little bit, and let myself have a restaurant meal with my family on Fridays. To kick start my journey I told myself I would not weigh in until after five weeks, and my gauge for progress was clothes and images that I would try on and photograph again after the initial five weeks. After last nights defeating blow I said screw it to my initial 5 week plan and tried on the clothes and took photos. And my god! The change is so noticeable already! Everything fits better but there is still ways to go until they fit nicely but this has definitely blow away my bad feelings from yesterday and instead I am not full of pride and energy to keep going!

| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 09:14 PM PDT i never post anything on reddit, but i seriously have no idea what to do anymore. i'm 14(f), 5'4, and 63.5 kg, and i cannot lose weight no matter what i do (trying to get to 50-55). i went from 79 kg to this, and completely stopped losing weight. i've been around the same weight for maybe half a year now and nothing i do changes it. eating 1500 cals, 500 cals, 800, tried to eat 2000 to maybe fix my possibly slow metabolism, i tried everything. i tried doing very intense excerise but i always give up in 2 weeks bc of depressive episodes. what do i do? sorry if i'm not doing this right, i don't use reddit much,, thanks in advance if anyone responds to this :] [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 29 Sep 2020 07:22 PM PDT I have a new fear/motivation to lose weight, I just realized my increased risk for skin cancer and lymphatic cancer due to my life long medicine. I figure, since this medicine is the thing that increases my risk, I'm going to be close to death again eventually. So I HAVE to lose 30-45lb to be at an ideal weight. I lost 5lb from my last venting post, and I hopefully now have enough drive and, frankly right now, fear, to go to the gym every single day until I'm healthy again. I'm starting tomorrow morning/early afternoon, and on the 1st I'm gonna start posting on the accountability thread. [link] [comments] |
| My work (and boss) are so supportive Posted: 30 Sep 2020 01:52 AM PDT I work from home anyway, but do set hours. My boss knows I've been losing weight and is supportive. (now I'm 35lbs down). In summer I've been doing a 10km dog walk that takes me 2hours 20 minutes atm. I'll get that down but it's through woods etc so not the quickest anyway. I've been able to do that in the evenings, but the nights are now drawing in I can't. I asked if I could take a longer lunch (12-3) and do it then. I'm senior and work long hours (usually log on at 6 and finish at 4 with a couple of small breaks) but, not only did he instantly agree but he suggested we get a group together for COVID weightloss at work. I just thought I'd put a happy post up. [link] [comments] |
