| I did not eat after dinner last night. Posted: 01 Oct 2020 08:59 PM PDT And I'm sitting here now (11:33pm) about to force myself to go to bed to keep myself from eating. That would make 2 whole days in a row that I did not unnecessarily eat! Embarrassingly big deal for me lol. I have always struggled the hardest at night when it comes to binge eating. I have had a horrible "relationship" with food my whole life but the last 3 years I have just not given a single fuck about myself, until last night I guess.. I stood in the kitchen, desperately wanting that release of dopamine in the form of a giant bowl of cereal. There I stood, contemplating, bargaining, and arguing in my head until finally fed up with my brain, I audibly growl at myself "OMFG JUST GO TO BED FAT ASS." And I went to bed. Tonight, I don't feel like a "fat ass". Tonight I feel pretty strong. Goodnight r/loseit. [link] [comments] |
| I got a great compliment today! Posted: 01 Oct 2020 04:46 PM PDT I've been in the gym everyday, Monday-Friday, for the last 3 months, and, even though being so consistent is a huge win in and of itself, it's still disheartening to see the scale largely stay the same. Even though I went into this lifestyle change wanting more than anything to feel better in my own skin and not to see number drop, it's still hard seeing that I'm not losing yet. That being said, I was in the gym today after a particularly crappy day, and one of the regulars was there too. He's a super fit dude and very good looking (idk his name so I'll call him handsome-fit-guy) and I usually divert eye contact with him in hopes to avoid any awkward conversations. However, today another person had finished their workout and asked if I wanted the remote to the tv when my time on the treadmill ended. I declined and offered the remote to handsome-fit-guy who said he would also be finishing up there shortly. I expressed how happy I was to be done with my workout because of my tough day, to which he said something like: "Yeah, it's important to go when you don't want to because it makes it that much easier to stay consistent." To which I said, "Yeah I hear consistentcy is key or something. uncomfortable half chuckle" He came back with "Well I see you in here all the time, so it looks like you've got that down." I never wanted to feel noticed in the gym, least of all by handsome-fit-guy, but hearing someone say out loud that I have consistently been in the gym really helped me out. My friends and family are plenty supportive of me and my journey, and I'm starting to feel some more self love as I continue forward, but there's always that little voice saying "They're/you're biased! It's not true! You're not doing good enough!" And as much as I understand that the voice is wrong, having a complete stranger acknowledge my hard work is just the compliment I needed today. To handsome-fit-guy, thank you. I appreciate your kind words more than you know! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 06:12 AM PDT For context, I am a 26 year old woman. I had not stepped on a scale for an embarassing amount of time because I knew I had gained a lot of weight after college and was terrified of what the scale would read. I started working out really hard in August and I realized that I needed to get over that fear and step on the scale. On September 1st, I finally did it. The weight was about 20 pounds more than I expected, and I definitely have a long way to go. But it was honestly like an entire weight was taken off of my shoulders knowing that I got over my first obstacle. So I opened up MyFitnessPal (again, for the ???th time) and I just started tracking my calories every day. I was already a week into 21 day fix program so I just kept up with that. My stretch goal was to lose 10 pounds in the month of September. I knew that weight comes off easier at first, especially since I am fairly overweight. I honestly didn't expected to actually reach it as quickly as I did! This morning I stepped on the scale and I am exactly 10 pounds down! I haven't felt this great in a long time. I went to my parents over the weekend and even my dad said he could tell I've lost weight. I just feel happy and motivated and I refuse to stop this time! Cheers. Edit: Thank you all for the kind comments! I hope to post here again down the road when I've reached my next goal and eventually some progress pics. Happy losing to you all! [link] [comments] |
| After everything I managed to lose 100lbs! Posted: 01 Oct 2020 02:54 PM PDT Today I finally lost 100lbs. Just as I was starting my weight loss journey we got hit with the pandemic. I managed to stay the course and keep going through lockdown. I actually got into riding my bike. I could do 30 miles at a time. Then just over halfway through my weight loss I got in a car accident and fractured my sternum. It was the top of my sternum where my collar bone connects. So every time I moved my arm it pressed on the fracture. No more bike rides, opening doors, or putting on my own seat belt. No more a lot of things for a few months. Pretty much live in a recliner because I can't lay flat on my back without excruciating pain. Still not 100% recovered from this but I have a lot more mobility in my arms where I can do most things under 10lbs by myself. Then last week I went to the ER with bad abdominal and chest pain. Turns out I have gallstone with a lot of sludge in my gallbladder. So I will be having surgery next week to remove my gallbladder. With all the stuff I went through and am still physically recovering from I am having the best day I have had in a long time. I feel like it made losing the 100lbs a lot more difficult but now that I am here it makes it feel that much better. I could have used any of these reasons to stop and I wanted to. But I am so glad I pushed through. I still have 60 more pounds to go but after all this I know I will get there. Sticking to a diet is hard. But after you get out of the habit of eating like poop it becomes so much easier. This post is more about not what I am doing to get healthy but not giving up even if you think you have a really good reason to. Just keep going! [link] [comments] |
| NSV: My blood pressure isn't in the scary zone anymore! In fact, it's pretty darn low. Posted: 01 Oct 2020 04:13 PM PDT I went to the doctor today, and they had to take my blood pressure. I have had high blood pressure for years upon years - like, in the range where the doctor starts to talk to you about maybe going on medication. I've been keeping a record of my blood pressure readings on my phone. About one year ago on October 15th, it was 142/80. Three months ago when I was last at the doctor, it was 165/90. We had a very frank conversation about how high it was, and the fact that I was in danger of no longer being able to take a particular prescription I use if it does not come down. That scared me, and I was nervous to see what it said today. Are you ready? It was.... 110/68. When the nurse announced it out loud I said, "WHAT?" She assured me it was a good number. I said, "I know, but I'm usually quite high." She took it again. Same numbers. I would say this made my day, but you know what? It made my whole damn month. Because this is proof that it's working! I'm in therapy for an eating disorder, and on my therapist's recommendation I am not weighing myself right now so it feels so good to have some numbers to prove that my hard work has been paying off. My monkey-brain suggested that I stop for a bottle of wine and a pizza on the way home to celebrate. My real brain reminded me that I have worked my butt off to break nasty habits like those, and that I'm winning the battle. That makes monkey-brain BIG mad. Best to stick with the bottle of water and the leftover taco/rice bowl waiting for me at home. What I've been doing: -Stopped doing intermittent fasting/OMAD; began eating three(ish) small meals a day. -Eliminated almost all fast food; cook and eat all of my meals myself. I actually had to do this for financial reasons. I'm living on loans right now and need to be intentional and careful with my food budget. If I can finagle it, I still treat myself to a dinner out on Fridays. -Cut waaayyy, way down on the alcohol. Strictly a 'weekends only' activity now. -Little to no exercise. I'm out of shape. I did recently commit to walking my dog around the block once per day, but that's the level we're talking about here: almost non-existent. -Using MFP to log my food and keep an eye on my calories. I started mainly to just get an idea for what range I'm in, not necessarily to meet a daily calorie goal. I'm usually between about 1200 - 2000. Just wanted to share some words of hope with others who have a lot to lose and have been focused on making small, sustainable changes. They do matter. They are making you healthier. One step at a time. [link] [comments] |
| Hit the 15 lbs milestone today! Posted: 01 Oct 2020 11:08 PM PDT Finally at 15lbs after about three months of doing CICO! Pic on the left was 157, pic on the right is 142 as of today. Aside from chopping off my hair I got rid of some jaw and cheek pudge! I know it's nothing crazy, but I can see a small difference and that makes me very happy. I track my calories every day and have also cut out sugar for the most part. When I do want sweets, I will typically munch on fruit or eat a protein bar. I eat a lot of protein in my meals and that seems to really help keep me full throughout the day. For reference, I am 26F, 5'1, and trying to eventually reach 120 lbs. [link] [comments] |
| I Hit My Weight Loss Goal! I Lost 20 Lbs in 5 Months Posted: 01 Oct 2020 11:25 AM PDT Photos (NSFW) https://imgur.com/gallery/NuewZh5 About me: 5'0, female, started at 131 lbs on May 1, today October 1 I reached 110 lbs. Measurements 30-26-32. I exercise at least five times a week. Plant based vegetarian/vegan diet. Cardio/strength training. My body looks way different than it did 5 months ago and I'm happy with the results. People notice too which has felt good! Stubborn belly fat continues to be an issue, I still have a lot of fat in that area. I really want to get rid of the fat in this area. You know, be able to not squish my tummy rolls :) I'm not sure how much more I can reasonably lose (I only weigh 110 lbs!) If anyone has tips for losing the belly fat, feel free to share! Thanks for reading 💕 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 10:13 AM PDT A few weeks ago someone on this sub wrote that unless and until you deal and overcome with the issue that is actually causing you to gain weight, no matter what kind of diet you follow, its not going to help. Because you are going to relapse and fall back into old patterns. Losing weight is as mental a journey as it is physical. Now many people go through this journey simultaneously and some lose weight and them deal with the physiological issue and some like me have to do the inner work first and only then can they get a grip in their binging. I keep searching for weight-loss tips and different diets. Trust me when I say this that I can easily get a PhD in diet and nutrition if I give an exam right now, I have researched to that extent. But the weight still there that needs to be lost. As with a lot of people in the sub, I eat my emotions and losing weight while dealing with anxiety and mild depression is not easy. My journey is going to be very long and slow but I have realized that I need to get in touch with my emotions and deal with them and only then will I be able to lose the dependency on food for comfort.

| Just hit the ten-pound lost mark!! Was a bit nervous to try on my smaller jeans, but they fit!! Posted: 01 Oct 2020 02:50 PM PDT I'm 5'6"...starting weight 162, CW 152, GW 132. Since July 30th, I've been doing CICO. I cut out alcohol and sugary snacks completely. I do The Hamilton Workout 3 to 4 times per week and walk about a mile every other day. I sleep 8 to 9 hours per day. I still have an addiction to Coke Zero, so I am trying to phase that out and drink more water, but it's really hard!! After I weighed myself yesterday, I went to the closet and grabbed a pair of Levis I haven't been able to wear in a couple of years. They fit like a glove! Yes, I have a bit of a muffin - top situation hanging over the top (!), but the point is, I'm down a size. This is great motivation to keep going!! [link] [comments] |

Here's to a successful October. Weight by end of month (199 lbs, preferably trend weight): 212 this morning. I'm striving folks. Stay within calorie range (1700 weekdays to practice eventual maintenance, maintenance weekends, NO FAST FOOD): 1420 today. Stress has finally ticked over into the not wanting to eat. I'll take it. Plus I have sugar free pudding with almond milk in my pudding. Exercise 5 days a week: Gonna head out on a post dinner walk to clear my brain & warm my muscles. 1/1 days. Self-care journaling (once a week, 60 minutes): Not yet. Need to this weekend. Self-care time (work on not using food as a reward): Wore an outfit that doesn't make me feel uggo. Including a new fun waist belt. Try a new recipe once a week: Not sure what I've got cropped up this week yet. I may make a veggie concoction for my SO or a mix up on some cowboy caviar. Be more mindful, present in my body & express gratitude to avoid the hedonic treadmill: Today I'm grateful for support from my coworkers when a previous version of the office I work in wouldn't have been able to help at all. Progress is as progress does! Your turn! How was your day 1? [link] [comments] |
| I gained back 7 lbs. No, I didn’t berate myself. Posted: 02 Oct 2020 02:03 AM PDT An estimated months time from my goal weight of 140lbs I had finally made it to 143 lbs.. and then, the stress hit. Financial problems, family problems, relationship problems, dental problems. So much. So I decided, to hell with it. I indulged. At some of the worst places to do so. (Steak n shake, Taco Bell, sonic, dominos) For about 3 or so weeks. I knew what I was doing. I didn't stop myself. And then I got back on the scale, back up to 150 lbs. -Sigh- For a second, I got really, really sad. A few select phrases of self loathing crossed my mind. I got into the shower, and then I stopped. I decided instead of wallowing in my own self pity, to just own up to my mistakes. Own up to being human and maybe not always having it together. I ate like crap for several weeks, completely aware of it, and these were the consequences. 7 heavy pounds of consequences. This journey is life long and I'm only human. That said, I deserve better than the garbage I was putting into my body. I deserve to feel good. I deserve to look good. I want food to be fuel. I want exercise to be a reward for being alive and healthy, not a punishment for feeling inadequate. Today forward, I promise to speak kindly to myself and my journey. I will lose this 10 lbs. I may lose 10 more, who knows. I will give myself the body and love it should have been given years ago. I cannot be who I was before, 280 lbs and gaining. I want to be here for my family. I want to be here for my future children. I want to be here for my niece and nephew. I want to be able to teach my future children the importance of nutrition. I cannot ever allow my weight to control my life like it once did again. I also can't allow my brain to be so unkind to itself either. I want to manifest love throughout this journey, not self hatred and shame. Be kind to yourselves is all I'm really saying. [link] [comments] |
| Lost my first 20 pounds - feeling so elevated Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:46 AM PDT I checked my weight tonight and I was 20 pounds under! I couldn't believe it... I know it's only 20 but it's a huge deal for me because I literally thought I wouldn't come to this stage, I thought I'd give up and binge eat. I'm doing weight training 3 times a week and fast walking everyday for 45 mins, and on a strict meal plan. I didn't trust the process at first but when I check my weight I was in awe.. I'm still 65 pounds away from my goal weight, but this boost gave me the confidence I can do this. I feel so good rn, and definitely you are a reason r/loseit! Seeing all your posts have made me motivated and hopeful. Being in such a positive and nonjudgmental community like this is such a blessing. Thank you all! [link] [comments] |
| I DID IT!! AND IN MY DEADLINE!! Posted: 01 Oct 2020 09:03 AM PDT I hit my very last goal. I hit my ultimate goal. I hope y'all the best, and take a walk today, the weather is very nice❤️❤️❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Weird, very weird advice from a dietician. I would like you guys' opinion on this. What should I do? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 05:46 PM PDT 22yo - SW: 242 lbs - CW: 172 lbs - GW: around 142 - 154 lbs So I had a meeting with a dietician today. I had been looking for a dietician for some time, to help me break my plateau and lose the final 18 lbs I need to lose to get to a healthy BMI. I was looking at her instagram posts before consulting her, and I really liked what I saw. I liked her approach to healthy eating as "not a diet" and saying that you could definitely eat pleasurable/unhealthy food AND healthy stuff, balancing both together, which is something I definitely agree with and I can relate, so I decided to arrange a meeting. I'm pretty confused at how it went and the recommendations she made, which is why I wanted to have you guys' opinion on this. So she already knows my goals and everything, and I told her about my alimentation regime. I aim to eat around 1500 calories a day. I don't really track absolutely everything I eat, in fact I only know the exact amount of calories of my breakfast and afternoon tea (That's right, we have 4 meals a day in here) which are about 300 combined, but roughly know the calories of everything else, to get around 1500. This is basically how my meals go every day:
I also mentioned her I love Coke Zero and I drink it twice a month to keep it relatively healthy. Some of her suggestions made sense; she told me to double my daily amount of exercise and to fix my sleep schedule (I usually fall asleep at 4-5 am, wake up at 11, and then take a nap from 4-7 pm). She also suggested me to stop having bread in the mornings and replace that with ham and cheese, and to stop having cookies in the afternoon and replace them with yogurth or a shake. But then she started making weird suggestions.
Her philosophy behind this is that I'm making too many "sacrifices" with my diet, and I'm taking too little pleasure and enjoyment out of it. But to be honest, I'm not feeling that way at all. I throughly enjoy having cereal bars for dessert. I don't mind having soup and a sandwich for dinner. I don't feel the need to drink more Coke Zero than I already do. I'm not struggling with the alimentation style I'm leading, at all. I'm not missing the way I used to eat. I feel like it's a mistake to introduce unhealthy stuff into it to feel more pleasure and enjoyment when I'm not really suffering because of a lack of food I enjoy. She's also partially against calorie counting (or at least that's what I understood). We didn't discuss calorie counting or how many calories I should be consuming. And to top it off, I told her about my treat day policy, where I treat myself to a nice high-calorie meal each weekend, and have coke zero with it twice a month. And she told me she doesn't believe in cheat or treat days because it's not a diet and I should not be prohibiting myself from any food. From my point of view she's just making me switch from one full "cheat" meal of something I enjoy, to small bits of the same thing throughout the week. Which, if anything, would make me feel more like I'm missing out than my current alimentation plan. I honestly don't know what to do. I think I should either consult another dietician, or just keep doing what I'm doing. I'll have a talk with her where I'll share my opinions and feelings. But I would love you guys' imput on this situation. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:28 AM PDT Many of you remember me for my posts about being stuck at 145 (23F, 5'7, SW: 180). About a month and a half ago I was losing my mind over the last 5 lb - not because I really think it makes a huge difference, but because I had been trying SO hard and I felt like I should have been able to drop those last few lb. So the good people of this sub suggested a diet break, which was scary, but in the beginning of September I did about two weeks of maintenance (but keeping up with my exercise routine of running and strength training). I dropped about 0.5lb when I went back to my deficit after, and it felt amazing! But here we go: I've been sticking with it consistently since then, and as my weight fluctuated between 144 (a new low) and 146 (my original "sticking point"), I figured this was just my life now. BUT THIS MORNING I WEIGHED 142.5. It's a small whoosh but the most exciting thing ever. I'm only 2.5 lb (!!!!) away from my goal now. Legitimately feels within reach and I feel so good. Thanks everyone on this sub who have pushed me out of my comfort zone and supported me along the way! [link] [comments] |
| I’m halfway to my end-of-year goal! Posted: 01 Oct 2020 06:40 PM PDT I only started tracking my weight again about eight weeks ago, and only got really serious about a month ago. I had set a sky-high goal of losing 40 lbs by year's end, getting below 200 again. As of today, I'm 20 lbs down and feeling amazing! I haven't weighed this little since I broke an ankle two years back, and lord did I miss it. I know the weight loss will slow down with time, but even with that in mind I feel confident I can get the rest of the way in the next three months! This is the first time in a long time I've felt really in control of my body and my choices, and reading this sub does wonders to keep me in the right headspace to keep doing what I'm doing. Going to celebrate with a cheat meal tomorrow (hello chicken fried rice ...), and then back on the grind we go! [link] [comments] |
| I can't believe it's happening. Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:01 AM PDT I had posted earlier stating how I have struggled with obesity my whole life and have tried losing weight many times and did end up losing upto 10kgs but gained it all back. I had an abusive boyfriend who always put me down. And people here were so supportive. It was the first time I openly discussed my internal feelings. So I took a stand and fucking started with it. I left that boy and I started working on myself. I started journaling and practicing self love. It is very difficult to love yourself when you always keep others feelings above yours. Trust me, it is even painful to put yourself first in the beginning. You feel like you're a bad person. But I wrote all my feelings and I deliberately did what was good for me. I am one month into this healthy journey and I have lost 6kgs. From 95kg to 89kg in one month. I feel more active. I feel more flexible. I feel so good in my head. I'm 22F and 5'6. To all those starting their journey, just don't think about weight loss. DONT. Trust me I have done it several times and failed. Even after you lose some weight you'll go back to your old ways and fuck everything up. YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON BEING HEALTHIER, FITTER AND YOU NEED TO LOVE YOURSELF. It won't come on its own. You have to be mindful about it. You have to deliberately love yourself and put yourself above others. You have to focus on having a healthy body and putting good food into your body. And the results will come on their own. I didn't even go on any diet. I just stopped eating junk and did a little portion control. I just worked out to be stronger and not lose my breath every 1 minute. I used to be so self conscious. What if people will stare at me when I run? What if my boobs are bouncing too much? What if they'll make fun of my jiggling thighs and my body? What will people say if I become too picky about the food I eat? They'll think it's just a phase and they'll makes fun of my weight. I stopped giving a fuck. I stopped looking around. This life is too short. I need to live it to the fullest. You need to be healthier. I'm a physiotherapist and trust me, weight doesn't matter but your fitness does. This post is becoming too long. I would really like to share in detail about this mindset and what I did to have this thinking. I really love this community and people have helped me so much here. I love you all. And you can fucking do this! Edit: Thanks for the lovely response. I'm always here if anyone wants to talk ever. All you need to do is drop a text. We're in this together. :) [link] [comments] |
| NSV: haven’t succumbed to cravings for a week! Posted: 01 Oct 2020 09:29 AM PDT I had a bit of a NSV today, I haven't succumbed to any of my cravings for a week, and now after a week of sticking to my meal plan, I don't really get anywhere near the cravings I go before, and I finally feel content with the healthy food that I am eating. I know this may seem like a small thing to many of you, but cravings normally dominate me all day, and it's so easy to end up eating a cake or a bag of Doritos. But after thinking about it, I just thought what is the point? I have 2 minutes of fun when I enjoy the taste, but then feel like shit afterwards! It may sound cliche, but the key thing that helped me is making "food is fuel, not comfort" my mantra. Whenever I felt like eating bad food, I would ask myself if the food is worth screwing up my day of healthy eating! I also found drinking more water (instead of diet soda) significantly reduced my hunger, and that is a big part of cravings! I hope this can inspire some people to not cave into their cravings, just as so many posts on this sub-reddit have helped me on my weight loss journey so far. I've just started a 35 day challenge (until the end of October) because My weight loss stalled after losing 45lbs these past few months (check my profile for details and pics) and that has also helped me. I for one, love having structure in my life. It helps to keep me on track. My goal is to lose 25lbs more, then I'll FINALLY be happy! Hopefully, I shall soon return to this sub with a SV post marking me finally hitting one-derland. Thank you to every one of you who post on this sub, for giving me the will power to carry on when I could easily give up. [link] [comments] |
| Anyone looking for an accountability buddy? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:22 PM PDT Hey there! I've lost 50 pounds over the last 14 months. But I'm really struggling with the motivation for the last 25 or so. I'm looking for someone to keep me motivated (and hopefully do the same for them.) My stats are 22F/5"5/SW:210/CW:165ish. My main goals are trying to get back into the gym and working on maintaining a better calorie count. I'd also love to get back into meal prep as that was such a huge help in the past. I'd love someone with similar stats and similar goals to me, but I'm down for whatever else. I'm down for anyone with any starting weight or time spent. A group would also be great if a couple people want to be in on it! I'm cool with whatever form of communication you're comfortable with. Messaging here, WhatsApp, Discord etc. Frequency is also up to you. I don't need too much information from you. Whatever you're comfortable sharing. I'd like to be able to send daily calorie counts as well as validation that I've been to the gym or otherwise gotten some exercise in. If you're looking for something less frequent that's great too! Sharing SV/NSVs would also be great. Look forward to hearing from you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 02 Oct 2020 01:21 AM PDT I maintain pretty healthy, enjoyable and sustainable diet (up to 1450 kcal for 5 days a week and 1750 for 2 days), and teach Zumba classes 5 times a week. Though I find it hard to focus on the goal, once I lose 2 kg (lb), I slip up and cannot maintain calorie deficit. I don't have much to lose. Now I'm 64 kg (141 lb) and my goal is 58 kg (127 lb). I'm posting here to create some accountability for myself. So, I commit to my diet plan of calorie deficit for 80 days. I promise not to weigh myself daily, as it seems when number goes down, it triggers a slip up. I will step on a scale once a month. I will post before/after pictures closer to New Year. Wish me luck.

| Advice for how many calories I should be eating (for weight loss) - new here! Posted: 02 Oct 2020 01:19 AM PDT I'm a little intimidated by the huge community on here and I'm sure I'm annoying someone with putting this post here/the way I've written it/etc, so please go easy on me! I am new here and just looking to get some help from the more experienced on how to get started. My details: 27, F, ~5'4", Current weight: 86kg, Goal weight: 60kg. Student, so typically sedentary but have just (this week) started going for about 30 minutes of walking per day. I do like to eat good real food, am not into sugary drinks or sweets. But, I'm not somebody that enjoys cooking, and so I tend to order out a bit too much. I think that my main issues are 1. Ordering out, 2. Portion control, and 3. Not exercising enough. I am confident I can get on board with the exercise as I enjoy that (I have a VR with beat saber and fight night, plus just got a car which means I can go to nearby parks and walk/eventually jog around those - yay!). But I do not feel like I have any understanding of how much I should be eating. I don't want to be undereating at a point that is dangerous or not recommended, and I also don't want to be eating at a rate that is not going to help me lose this weight. So what I would really like is to learn maybe 3 x breakfasts, lunches, dinners, that are within the daily amount of calories I should be eating for weight loss. And then I would just rotate those meals. As I said, I don't like cooking, and I know that if I could pre-prepare a couple of meals for the whole week I'd stick to it. I'm not a fussy eater at all. Also, a few years ago I did lose nearly 10 kg using myfitnesspal and counting calories each day, but for me this turned into a bit of a toxic obsession and I didn't like where it put me mentally. Hence why I'd love to be able to just know how many calories I'm eating each day and then not need to be interacting with the maths of it each meal, if that makes sense. I hope that this post is ok and not seeming demanding or rude or anything - I'm not expecting somebody to write me up meal plans or anything (but I wouldn't turn this down either if you are up to it haha) but I would just like to have some understanding of how many calories I should be eating and maybe some recipe ideas too. PS - is it unrealistic for me to want to know roughly how long it should take me to reach my goal weight? I appreciate that it could be a hard thing to estimate as everyones bodies are different, etc. Thank you so much for any help/guidance/advice. tl;dr: I'm 87kg, 5'4", and new to this sub. I'd really appreciate any tips on how many calories I should be eating per day to lose weight in a healthy way, and, for those that know recipes or meal plans within that range would be an added bonus!

| Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:36 AM PDT Lost a member of my family to covid in may. Thought I was handling it but I wasn't. Was at my lowest weight which I maintained for a month after their death. Went from 304 to 256 in 10 months and back up to 275+ in a couple months. Was at the doctors 6 weeks ago and they weighed me and the new doctor gave me the talk about being obese. I wanted to scream that I was on track to be below obese by Christmas. But I was so depressed I didn't even know why I was putting on the weight. Food is a powerful drug and I am still recovering. Fortunately that visit I made a follow up for a physical (tomorrow) which gave me some positive motivation. Based on my weigh in tonight I'll be somewhere in the 262-263 range tomorrow. I'm really proud of myself for getting back on track after losing my shit to grief. Back on track physically AND mentally. Sadly it took me months to get there. [link] [comments] |
