| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 08:28 AM PDT Here I am posting shirtless selfies on the internet again. 434 days. SW: 400 lbs. CW: 270 lbs. 26 years old. 5'11. Virgo. I like reading books and long walks on the beach. You know, it's actually crazy to me. I've been obese for the lion's share of the time I've spent breathing on this planet. In my adolescent/adult life, I've spent very little time in the 200 lb range, and it was always in the upper 200s, like around 290. I definitely feel like I'm in uncharted territory - it feels like my body is becoming something entirely new to me. Looking back at pictures from a year ago is quite an experience. When it comes to diet, I typically focus on high volume, low calorie dense meals. Meals that fill me up and don't push the boundaries of my calorie budget. Most of my current philosophies come from Greg Doucette's content - I highly recommend him. I walk on a daily basis, though lately I've also been incorporating some light jogging. I lift dumbbells three times a week via some pretty basic exercises. Nothing insane, but I do feel noticeably stronger than I used to be and I like it. I'm nowhere near being done, but I'm happy with my progress. Excited to keep going. [link] [comments] |
| Lose it at any age. If I can, you can. Posted: 07 Oct 2020 07:35 PM PDT After hitting 60 this year I decided to make some changes. I visited a local gym in February and started working out the next day. The gym is basically trainer-led fitness classes of HIIT, but not too much intensity as this was a 50-plus group and I was 10 years past the 50. The day after the first class I realized I may have attacked the routine with a bit too much enthusiasm. I took two days off. When I returned to the next class... I thought I was going to collapse after the work out... even after sitting in my car for 15 minutes post-workout. But I didnt. Three weeks later... COVID and the gym closed. I was on my own now. I persevered. The gym provided videos of workout and I did them three times a week and on off days would go for 3.5 mile walks (podcasts are a great thing). Five months in... hernia surgery... out of commisson for 8 weeks. But I am back now and have lost 57 lbs despite the 8 weeks of doctor ordered no exercise. If I can do this, you can too. SW: 257 CW: 197 GW: 175-180 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 02:31 PM PDT http://imgur.com/gallery/aOl6zSE Hello, starting my long journey to get healthy! Some basic details:
After years of abusing my body and troubles with depression, I was diagnosed with diabetes and it was a big slap in the face and wake up call. I tried extreme things like water fasting but I have been consistent with eating grilled meat, salad, veggies, started playing tennis and swimming. I've recently hit a setback, spraining my ACL on holiday in Turkey, so my mobility is limited right now, so trying to focus on nutrition. I still have issues with emotional eating and find myself falling back into bad old habits, but for the first time in my life I really want to be healthy, I want to fight for life and this is where I'm at right now. Also, this is my first time using Reddit so any advice on how I continue to update my progress on there so that the posts are linked / anyone who is bothered can see future updates? Stay safe out there. Grizzly Don. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 08:20 PM PDT So, I'm an idiot. I've been eating well and losing steadily, albeit in small increments, which I will happily take. I had a stressful day yesterday, and just didn't feel like cooking. I've been eating clean, and not really doing heavy, greasy meals. But last night I said screw it and ordered Pizza Hut wings and those little Cinnabons while I watched the Dodgers. All the time I was eating them (yes, I ate it ALL!), I kept saying to myself, I'll probably pay for this later. Went to bed after the game and woke up two hours later with major abdominal cramps and crazy sweating. Spent all night in the bathroom paying for my terrible mistake. I just can't go back to binging like that. My body has changed, and reminded me in a big and painful way that eating crap like that just isn't worth it. So please learn from my mistake. Have some canned soups or frozen healthy meals as your go to to deal with stress and don't succumb to stupid urges because I promise you, you'll seriously regret it! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:00 AM PDT This may get buried, but I just needed to tell you all that lurking in this sub has been hugely instrumental to my success. I weigh less than I have in over a year and a half. No diet program or meal subscriptions. No starvation. No injuries from over-exercising. Just consistent CICO, walking a lot, and patience. 17 pounds lost since late May of this year. My clothes fit so much better. My energy is way up. I even feel like my eyes look bigger and clearer because my face is less puffy! I was stuck on a plateau around 180-181 lbs for several weeks, but this week I broke through. Do not get discouraged or give up if your body plateaus... and don't start starving yourself, either. Just stay consistent and focused. Anyone can feel free to PM me if they need extra motivation. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. [link] [comments] |
| What going from 265 to 216 looks like Posted: 07 Oct 2020 08:14 PM PDT Starting with the obvious: this was a 6 month process. It is ongoing and my goal is to reach my ideal weight. I find it hard to keep balance with food, with exercise, and living a married life with a retail job which for the last 6 months was working from home, no children. I started my process in May, weighing 265 lbs and up to today, I weigh 216. I have been all these months in a 1600-1700 kcal plan, and been doing fitness (HIIT) on a trampoline 5 times a week, from 30 to 60 minutes, through online videos part of a fitness and nutrition expert training plan. Both the plan and the classes have been major factors for me to achieve this. But the major one has been my wife. Without her motivation (she has lost around 35 lbs), I wouldn't have been able to do it. I have been able to "cheat" on meals, to have a few drinks sometime, but the trick has been to log everything on LoseIt!, and to know that it is not a miracle. It is a long ride, and there are many stops and detours along the highway. I'm keeping it calm, and plan it for the long run. I hope to reach my goal around Summer 2021. I know I still have a long way to go. I'm 5'9 and I am still obese, just not as obese as before. Just wanted to share before and after pictures, and let you all know that if I did it, and if I'm doing it, all of you can do it. It's just about finding the motivation. Have an excellent week. Cheers from Mexico City! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 05:45 PM PDT Title kinda says it all. I'm wondering if there are people out there who got CHF early and have to live with it. I've lost 50lbs so far, but it's been a struggle to lose more. Recently gained more motivation to do something about it, and now I want to slim down and even build some muscle so I can have a long(ish), healthy life. If y'all have any tips or advice for me, that would be stellar. Some problems I'm having include, but are not limited to: -Being tired by midday because of heart medications -Sleeping too much -Giving into cravings for sugar -Binge eating -Getting out of breath easily Thank you in advance!

| 50lb milestone!!!!!! 412 to 362lbs pictures included! Posted: 07 Oct 2020 07:04 AM PDT 📷 Here is me at my heaviest - around 412-lbs and this right side is my today. I still have a lot of work to do but it has been a great start! I started posting back on this sub reddit at the very end of July. It has been a bit over 2.5 months and this is what I have to show for it. I am so excited to finally be getting healthy - not just to be better looking but to feel better. I can actually take long walks with my wife/daughter and not be dead at the end of them. I have slipped up sometimes and ate stuff that I shouldn't, but I have kept it to a very strict 2600 calorie goal. Most days I come in under 2100 calories though but sometimes I will push it up to 2500~ I have been using myfitnesspal to track everything I eat. For some examples breakfast will be a yogurt and a cereal breakfast bar (180 calories total, super yummy) or turkey sausages (350 calories for box). Lunch is normally 2 sandwhichs on the 40 calorie bread. Tuna or ham with low calorie mayo and some chips/fruit etc. Dinner is whatever my wife wants to cook. Normally around 600-800 calories for dinner. Later on I might have another yogurt, or some popcorn or baked chips for snack. I am still just walking every day for a few miles (maybe 30min to 1 hour only) which burns a considerable amount of calories for someone my size. I started to try to get motivated for jogging again. I did about a mile jog and some telephone poll sprint/walks the other day. Slow progress on the carido front but I am happy with my results so far. First goal of 50lbs reached! I am aiming to lose another 40-50 by new years!! more pics to come soon. I just wanted to say thanks so much to everyone on here for motivating me to take the first step. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 12:03 AM PDT I don't wanna make a long drawn out post but I've lost 40 lbs in a lil over a year and I literally see no difference. Starting weight of 237 lbs in Aug 2019 and current weight 195-197 lbs. I am 5'1" and 28 y/o. Long term goal weight is 150 lbs even tho it's still a lil higher than the BMI standard but idc. Seeing the difference on the scale and my clothes fitting better has been encouraging but the before and after pics look the same to me. I'm not gonna post them bec this is literally my first post lol but yeah. I feel the same now as I did when HS ended at 150 lbs, several years ago when I was 170 lbs, when I started trying at 237 lbs, and now at 197 lbs. I am working out as I have a personal trainer but I can't seem to get my shit together re: food. I really need to decrease my sodium and bread intake but I'm working on it. Just needed to vent. Advice is welcome but please be nice. I am sensitive. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 12:48 AM PDT This is my lockdown cut. And while by no means is this anywhere near as impressive as the majority of the stuff in here, I'm still pretty pleased! And wanted to share my progress somewhere. Decided to start my fitness journey at the beginning of this year. Ultimately I want to be bigger but I was pretty skinny fat and just wanted to get lean before a long term bulk. Looking back I wasn't that big at all and with clothes on I'd still look skinny, but ultimately I'd surprised myself with how much fat I had hidden. The formula has been pretty simple, eat 1800 cals religiously, eat a minimum of 150grams of protein, lift where possible (lockdown kinda ruined this for 3 months in the middle of this). I didn't do any cardio but would if/ when I do this again. To begin with the weight was falling off pretty quickly (1-1.5lbs per week) but then in the last 4-8 weeks I'm pretty sure I entered into a recomp as my weight was struggling to shift but my waist definitely still got smaller. Either way I'm not getting any lighter than 150lbs at 6ft! I REALLY enjoy being lean, and anyone else in my position I'd definitely recommend a cut first just because I hate to carry more fat than I need to. But ultimately I never want to be this light again! Next up 1 year consistent lean bulk to see how much strength and size I can put on. Then I'll cut again and hopefully be the leanest I've ever been. Anyway, pictures...

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 7 Posted: 07 Oct 2020 06:28 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy hump day. I hope you're all out there thriving & embracing life. Weight by end of month (199 lbs, preferably trend weight): 209.6 this morning. Late salty dinner, you were worth it. Stay within calorie range (1700 weekdays to practice eventual maintenance, maintenance weekends, NO FAST FOOD): 1711 with dessert planned in moderation. Some days I can almost pretend I'm the kind of person that has self control around Oreos. This is one of them. Exercise 5 days a week: Wore sunscreen & went on a lunch walk. Met a westie dog named Nigel. Thanks universe that was lovely. 4/7 days. Self-care journaling (once a week, 60 minutes): Did some. Could use more. Used sharpie. Love me some sharpie journaling. Self-care time (work on not using food as a reward): More adulting. Eye appointment cuz I'm a squinty eye strained mess, new prescription on the way. Therapy. Saw two puppies & so many squirrels. Try a new recipe once a week: Turkey tacos. I'm counting it as new. 1/1 weeks. Be more mindful, present in my body & express gratitude to avoid the hedonic treadmill: Grateful for access to mental health services. Good God am I thankful. My mental health would be too much of a burden for anyone I wasn't paying lols. Your turn kids! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 07:24 PM PDT Just for some background, I'm a 5'7 21 year old female consuming on average 1500cals At the end of June, I started a weight loss journey, weighing in at about 140lbs. I was mainly looking to lose the belly fat I had but I knew I had to burn fat for my whole body, so I started doing youtube workouts (Chloe Ting, Lilly Sabri, Natacha Oceane, etc). Now I'm currently weighing in at about 126-128 (depending on the day) and although I've seen improvements in the way my stomach is looking, there's still fat to be lost (esp on my lower belly). I'm worried because I don't want the number on the scale to drop too low, especially for my height, but I know I have to keep losing in order to get the results I'm looking for. I only have a pair of 5lbs weights and a single 8lb weight, which I've been using, and I don't feel safe going to the gym bc of the rise in positive cases in my neighborhood. Also a gym membership just isn't in my budget at the moment. I'm just looking for some advice, regarding exercises or nutrition/food, to help me along this journey. [link] [comments] |
| I bought workout shorts and I was happy! Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:14 AM PDT Even though I am much heavier than I used to be (I think I am around the same "heaviest" that scared me into loosing weight last time) I have so much more confidence in myself. I love myself more and don't care as much how I look. Today I bought workout shorts in size L and loved them and how they look on me. I bought them for an upcoming hike (it's spring where I live) along with tank tops. Two things I would never have worn before because I was ashamed of my thighs and my arms. Even though I am still overweight I still feel comfortable in my body, and I think that is so important for me to see that I have gone from being the girl who cried for being fat, to who I am now.

| How many pounds did you lose to go down a pants size? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 02:13 PM PDT I'm about 5'7 F and currently at 206 pounds (pear shaped). I started at 226 pounds. While I have noticed that my pants are getting baggy in some areas, it's still not enough to size down. Ideally I'd like to get to 155 which is just within the healthy bmi range for my height. I hope by next spring so I can finally wear some cute dresses! The smallest I've been in my adult life is a size 12 and that was for a few months. So I'm just curious, how many pounds did it take for you to lose a pants size and how many sizes did you lose in total? I predict I'll be buying a lot of clothes from thrift stores soon! Thanks guys :) [link] [comments] |
| How alcohol affects you after significant weight loss? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 05:45 PM PDT Hello all! I've been on a weight loss journey since early February of this year. I'm 23F and my starting weight was 311 lbs. I've lost 60+ lbs and currently weigh 243 lbs. I was just curious how alcohol has affected you all after significant weight loss. Before, when I was 300+, I had built a sort of a tolerance to alcohol, where I could have 2 to 3 drinks and only be tipsy as long as I had food on my stomach. I have plans to drink with my best friend in a little over a week because we haven't hung out in months because of the pandemic. Normally, when we drink together, it's normally kinda heavy drinking, but I've always known when to stop and not go overboard. And I do not know what to expect in how drinking like that will affect my body after significant weight loss. Additionally, I haven't really had any alcohol since starting weight loss (only an occasional drink to celebrate a milestone). So I'm not sure how that might affect my alcohol tolerance either. Did you guys become more sensitive to alcohol? Any tips on how to approach drinking now since weight loss? We normally find a way to get food at some point in the night when we drink so I'll likely have food on my stomach before and while I'm drinking. I know alcohol dehydrates you, and I had planned on drinking water between drinks to help prevent a hangover. But any helpful tips or advice is much appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| I'm so tired of the same recipes over and over again. Please suggest me something new Posted: 07 Oct 2020 08:25 PM PDT Okay so I've been actively dieting since May, and I've lost a considerable amount of weight. I feel so much better and this has been an incredible journey so far. I enjoy every bit of this process and I'm so comfortable now in counting my calories with everything I eat. ANYWAY, I've written too much. Do you guys have ideas for easy tasty recipes? Something that I can incorporate in my diet because I'm honestly getting bored with what I'm eating. It's the same thing over and over again. I feel like a change of what I eat will be a nice push for me. [link] [comments] |
| Things that helped me in my weight loss journey Posted: 07 Oct 2020 04:26 AM PDT Set your reasons high "What drives you?" "What keeps you motivated?" "What do you do on days you don't want to get out of bed?" These are all questions asked to me after seeing the weight loss journey I've been on. In September 2019, I was visiting family in California. I had lost both of my parents about 3 months before and not only was I in severe depression, I was eating my sadness. I had gained over 40 pounds in 3 months (I was also obese before that happened), thus making an already out of control problem worse. Before even getting on the plane to California, I was already worried. "What if I can't fit in the seats?" "What if I have to ask for a seat belt extender?" I'm happy to report I fit and did not need a seatbelt extender. What I was unhappy about, was the whole two hour trip my legs became numb from being squeezed in. Then came the restaurants.... why does every place in California have arm rests on their chairs? They were literally the bane of my existence. I squeezed into every chair, the entire time feeling like everyone's eyes were on me and my fat that was spilling over. I realized (like a train hitting me) that if I continued down the path that I was traveling, I was going to DIE. Maybe not tomorrow, but I was certainly cutting years off my life. I realized that I may not get to have children and if I did would I be able to play with them? I realized that I wouldn't get to see or experience my grandchildren. I realized that the life I was leading was not pleasant nor happy and it wasn't going to get better. Now I've lost 133.9 pounds and I don't miss a 4:30am alarm, because in my mind if I do, I'm going to die and my children (who aren't even born yet) are going to have to go through the same hell. Figure out your reasons and set them high to accomplish your goals. [link] [comments] |
| For those who don't have massive amounts of weight to lose, how do you do it? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 03:10 PM PDT I'm 26 years old and have been trying to lose weight for the better part of most of my life. My mother worked in the fashion industry in the 80s and 90s so she has passed on an (un)healthy dose of body dysmorphia and an obsession with the scales. I currently weigh 68kg (149 pounds) and have the ability to lose a few pounds through calorie counting but always seem to put it back on, and I am so, so disheartened. Every year I say I'm going to finally get my goal body but I never do, and then I proceed to blame everything that goes wrong on my weight. What confuses me is that I only seem to lose weight when I eat between 700-800 calories a day. I am a petite woman (5'2 and my goal is to weigh around 120 pounds) but I feel as if this may be quite unhealthy. I have insulin resistance but I don't think that should prohibit my weight loss that much, and the contraceptive I take does not list weight gain as a side effect. Last month I was down to 67.3 and losing weight rapidly (1.5 pounds a week) but I've recently moved up to 1200 calories per day + 1 cheat day and I put all the weight back on. I am confused and disappointed, I also am concerned about cutting my calories to a point where I engage in severely disordered eating as I have a family history of it. Am I counting incorrectly? Or should I be seeing a doctor and what advice do you have for petite women. I am sick of promising myself that I'll be thin soon and want to start making the right changes now. [link] [comments] |
| How to not hate yourself so much when you are fat Posted: 07 Oct 2020 03:43 PM PDT I am extremely frustrated with myself right. Ow because I am so overweight. I am tried countless times to lose weight and I always fail. Everytime I think I feel 'okay' that day and want to go out and actually enjoy my life, I am always reminded in some way "oh yeah, your fat" and then I just return to my dungeon. It seems like no matter how many changes I make nothing helps. I tried going on a raw fruits and vegetables diet, I tried exercise, I've tried high protein, I've tried keto, I'm tried mono meals, I even take laxatives soentimes after I feel like I ate too much to get get it out of me sooner, and nothing ever changes ever tho I make changes. It doesn't help being married to a skinny man who eats whatever the hell he wants and is sometimes at risk for being underweight. I am grateful to be with him, but sometimes I wonder if I can't lose weight because I'm with him. He eats nothing but fried food, so naturally we eat meals together. We even eat the same portions but still I'm the one that holds onto the weight. He tells me "you're not fat" but for some reason this frustrates me more because he's not going to convince me otherwise, and I feel like he is just dismissing my struggle. I just feel like I want to die right now because I no longer wish to live life if I'm not actually living. Being fat keeps me from happiness. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Oct 2020 11:23 AM PDT I've been through it all. Depression, anxiety ( still am) and through emotional rollercoasters. Finally last month I decided to stop sitting and start acting. Start loving your body. Let your body move and appreciate being active in any way, shape and form. Whether we feed ourselves healthier or we take a few minutes of our days to be productive is already a win! I wasn't happy with my body since the start of the year. I felt lazy and unappealing. I joined a weight loss program about 1.2 months ago that has inspired better eating habits for me. I was a huge snack lover ( popcorn with butter, chocolates, cookies, high calorie smoothies, chips etc) never ate full meals and skipped a lot. Since Covid happened, you can find so many outlets to stream. I found YouTube to start small cardio workouts right from my living room. 10 minute ones or 20 min ones or even 30 min ones. I work out at least 3 days per week. But within time I started to notice my body picking up slack and tolerating such movements. Here I'am now with my latest weigh in ( yesterday) and I'm officially out of the 200s. I have so much more to go! I promise, you are not alone. Keep it up. Inspire others and those that see results in you will make you feel proud. I am proud of you all! Set your goal and don't give up [link] [comments] |

| What do you guys think of my macros/calories? Posted: 07 Oct 2020 08:41 PM PDT 23, Male, 5'9 and 296 lbs. Currently on an 1800 calorie diet. This is a rundown of a typical day of eating for me now: I don't eat breakfast and only have 2 meals per day. Lunch: 1 pound sockeye salmon -800 calories (sources differ for exact calories, but I round up because I add up about 30-40 calories using alot of spices and lemon) 1 can Red Kidney Beans- 385 calories. 3 small cans of clams- 231 calories Dinner: 1 pound of mushrooms- 100 calories Another 3 cans of clams- 231 calories Juice of 2 lemons- 40 calories This comes out to about 1787 calories, and again I plus or minus due to the varying amount of calories in the salmon + the amount of lemon and herb spices I use. According to myfitnesspal, the macros come out to be 138g carbs, 245g protein, and 34g fat. What do you guys think of this? Is this an adequate amount of calories for someone of my size to use for dieting? Are the macros okay? [link] [comments] |
