| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 12:30 PM PDT When I first started taking my health and fitness seriously. I would have to run two laps and walk one on a .1 mile track because my endurance was so bad. Today I did 40 minutes on the stair-master, with only a quick two minute break at 20 minutes, because the machine went in to an "auto cool down." I climbed 105 floors each 20 minute session, for a grand total of 210 floors! I decided to really push myself today and was shocked at how I could just keep going. My heart rate was around 160-170 the entire time. I couldn't believe how much my endurance has increased! I don't recommend doing this all the time because cardio is usually suggested to be 60-70% of your max heart rate. But every once in a while, really push yourself to see just how far you've come. Even if the scale isn't where you'd like it to be, realize that you are still making gains in the fitness department and progressing towards a healthier life. I started just over a year ago and would go to the gym six days a week, three being full body workouts and the other three incline walking for an hour. I have changed my routine around quite a bit, but what I keep constant is following some lifting program and always ending with 15-30 minute of cardio. On my off days I still try to get 30 minutes to an hour of cardio because I have a very sedentary job. This can definitely take its toll on your body so feel free to sprinkle in some full off days as needed. In terms of diet I only track calories and protein. I try to get 150g protein a day. The protein intake might be overkill but I don't think there's a downside to eating too much protein. As I'm nearing the end of my weight loss journey I'm taking the last few pounds pretty slowly. I eat at maintenance calories or just under depending on how I'm feeling that day and let the calories burned during my lift+cardio be my deficit. Thanks for reading!

| There's a thin line between healthy weight loss and spiraling into an eating disorder Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:48 AM PDT I wanna note that I started my weight loss journey here on this very subreddit and I was very grateful for the amazing community here in 2017. I still lurk here once in a while but lately, I see a sprinkle of posts that seem a little alarming to me. I will outright say that I started off in a healthy place and a healthy mindset when I first started my weight loss journey but I was overcome by obsession and my once healthy mindset quickly turned into severely disordered eating. I know that a lot of people think "that couldn't be me" or never fathom the thought of developing an eating disorder but let it be known it's a lot easier and faster to develop than you think. One obsessive thought is all it takes to spiral into a full-on eating disorder. I went from actively tracking and subtracting a healthy amount of calories to lose weight at a normal speed to wondering if I could speed up the process and then developing a complete fear of food in a matter of 2 weeks. It is debilitating mentally and especially physically. My once healthy weight loss journey turned into an obsession of calorie counting, intensive restriction, horrible binging, and self-hatred. Your body feels euphoric at the idea of your success only to rapidly deteriorate health-wise. Your hair falls out in clumps, you can't get out of bed, depression heightens, your heart rate goes crazy, and so much more if you continue the lifestyle. I know that many of you live a healthy lifestyle of weight loss but I'm just here to say to be wary because it can happen to anyone. There's a large misconception around what an eating disorder looks like. It's not just anorexia, and you don't have to be bone-stick skinny to be considered to have an eating disorder. It comes in so many horrible forms. Binge-restrict cycles, restricting too much, binge-eating, purging, over-exercising. There are just so many. I can't say I have the best advice to keep a steer direction away from all of this but I want to emphasize that food is good. You are allowed to eat tasty food. You deserve food. I know that one thing that definitely kept me spiraling was the idea of binging one day meant I was a failure. The next day it'd cause me to try to make up for that day by restricting to an absurd amount and ultimately binging again due to extreme hunger. Of course, this cycle brought on endless suffering of hating myself over it. I'm in recovery now and the biggest thing is really drilling into my head that one day of eating out with friends to enjoy yourself of getting something you love isn't going to wreck your progress. Learning to be satisfied with your amount is also important. When I'd binge, I'd tell myself that it'd be the last time I'd see my favorite foods and then gorge on the food until I got sick thinking I'd never get to eat it again. Tell yourself that you are not banned from this food. You WILL get another day to enjoy it again. Losing weight is very much mental as it is physical. Holding that new healthy lifestyle is a mental challenge of defeating past unhealthy eating. But don't be so hard on yourself. Food is good. You deserve food. You are allowed to enjoy food. You are doing great. And you should be proud of your victories. Edit: It's a little bitter sweet seeing that so many people have experienced this but shows that I'm not alone. I wanted to note a couple more things I forgot. Eating disorder imposter syndrome: a lot of people deny that they're experiencing disordered eating. Common thoughts are: "Well I ate normally today, I must be fine." "I'm a healthy weight so I'm fine." "I'm not completely starving myself so I'm fine." These are all things that can disguise themselves as harmless thoughts while masking the fact that you are mentally harming yourself. It's okay to feel a little down if you haven't stuck to your diet plan, but if you're punishing yourself then it can be a real concern. Also like I've mentioned people of ALL weights can have an eating disorder. Underweight, overweight, healthy weight, ALL. WEIGHTS. I'm not here to scare people away from losing weight. Just stay safe ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone else feel like weight loss/gain is your whole personality? Posted: 10 Oct 2020 06:19 AM PDT I've been on a perpetual weight loss journey since middle school and always had a very unhealthy relationship with food. If I'm not losing weight, I'm most likely gaining it. And whenever I'm in my "losing" phase where I'm strict about my food and exercise, I feel in control and love everything that goes into it. Waking up on a weigh in day becomes exciting. I'm always browsing through some weight loss reddit. I'm planning my next healthy meal. On the other hand, when I mess up, I get super down on myself, feel bloated, and just overall not good. Suffice it to say, my mind is always thinking about weight. To the point where someone asked me what my hobbies are the other day and my mind immediately went to this subreddit. And I guess it wouldn't be an issue if I was open about my weight loss goals/journey with everyone around me. But I've been succeeding and failing at weight control for almost 20 years now so I feel super vulnerable admitting that I'm yet again (really, that I've never stopped) trying. Really though, this isn't meant to be a downer post -- I've been really consistent about my goals since May and lost nearly 30lbs, all while creeping on this subreddit. Just wondering how I should next answer the question of "what are your hobbies?" [link] [comments] |
| Guy just rejected me for my weight (US size 12), I feel again I have body dysmorphia Posted: 10 Oct 2020 08:47 AM PDT Just odd because after having shed a bunch of weight and being in the normal weight range again, I thought I had a nice figure. Not perfect, still a little bit of fat to lose, but I thought being in a normal weight range would be enough to attract a partner. I work out a lot too, so despite having a bit of belly fat I think I look fairly toned. He also was quite harsh about it. He had just seen my face and then asked for a full body pic. I sent him one, having no doubt I look normal. But all he said was after seeing it: "ok I am sorry but you can delete my number" I don't blame him, we need to feel attracted to the people we date, this is not it. And judging from his pictures, he is really into fitness. But I again feel like I cannot see my body at all. When I used to be much thinner, I thought I was too fat and never saw how thin I was. I hardly ate because I thought I was too fat. Then I put on a bunch of weight and became overweight. I never saw how fat I was and only lost the weight because the number on the scale scared me. Finally, I thought I look fine now. Again, I know I could be thinner but being in a healthy range, I thought I looked OK. Again, I cannot see myself obviously!! When will I finally be able to?? How can I stop being delusional about my weight? Edit: Thank you guys for all this amazing support! I already knew this sub was great because it helped me lose weight and I always liked the community. But last night you helped me made it through the night! Feeling much better today! By the way, I am not sure whether the clothing size I mentioned in the title is right. I will stick to our German measurements therefore. I am a German size 40 or L. Sometimes I fit into a 38 or M. But this is just a reference. I know I have to work on self love, confidence, and I will continue on the path towards a body I love! [link] [comments] |

| My 30 personal/weird reasons I want to lose weight Posted: 11 Oct 2020 02:22 AM PDT I have been overweight and now obese for as long as I can remember. I am 23f, 5'6, 227lbs. I'm so tired and uncomfortable, I think I've reached the stage now where I am mentally ready to lose it. This is the list I have made to keep myself motivated. Feel free to share yours below!

| After losing weight, doesn't it feel weird to tell people you've lost so much? Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:30 AM PDT I started dieting 7 months ago in the beginning of March, I was at the heaviest I've ever been at 355lbs. I'm a tall guy, at 6'10" but 355lbs is still 355lbs. I was unhappy with the way I looked and felt. All the time, no matter what I just felt heavy, and being so tall and so big didn't do wonders for my confidence. I tried to diet a couple times before which didn't work because "food is just too good". But something changed. I was over it. I was over feeling massive, over not being able to bend over easily to get something, over not being able to see all of me when I look down. I looked into keto and it seemed like the easiest diet to me. Just eat meat, cheese, vegetables. Literally just no carbs, or barely any. I didn't keep track of calories or specific grams or amounts. I just ate what felt like would qualify. Now saying it seemed like the easiest doesn't mean it sounded easy or was easy. Because it definetly was not, but I actually stuck with it and after the first 3 months I had lost 50lbs! I could not believe how fast my fat was melting off. People noticed. I got compliments all the time. People started smiling more, being more willing to talk to me. It made me feel good. At that point I was used to keto, it wasn't a diet that I had to think about anymore, I get cravings sometimes but not very often. It truly is easy now 7 months later. After that 3 month mark I started hitting plateaus. I'd go a couple weeks without losing a single pound, then the next week I'd drop 6 to 7 pounds. And I've been that way ever since. But to the point of my post, again I'm a big guy. My recommended weight for my age (27) is about 245lbs. I weighed my self this morning and I'm down to 269lbs! I've lost 86lbs. The people that I work with everyday obviously have noticed, given compliments, but I don't boast about it because I'm not losing weight for compliments. I'm losing weight to feel better, and to live better. But when I see someone that I haven't seen in a while, and they ask me about my weight loss. It feels weird to tell them I lost so much. Like I wonder if they believe me, or think I'm over stating. I want to confidently tell people, "yeah, I've lost 86 lbs and my goal is to lose another 20 more!" but really I think it's still just the embarrassment that I even let myself get to be that over weight in the first place. Has anyone else had this experience? Here's me 7 months ago, and me Today https://pasteboard.co/Jv1PT4D.jpg [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 08:47 PM PDT I've lost 64 pounds since December 2019 and dropped from 210 to 146 lbs as a 5'8" woman. To this point, I've been able to cycle through some old clothes at smaller sizes, but today I got some new pants in the mail since even the smallest ones I had at home were literally falling off my body. At my heaviest, I wore a size 16. The smallest I had at home were 12s. Today I tried on 10s and they were still too big! Now I know most of the time, things being too big is not a real complaint, it's practically the goal of weight loss. Problem is, it suddenly made me feel like a stranger in my body. At my heaviest, I assumed that a size 10 would be the lowest I could ever hope for in jeans due to a pretty emphasized hourglass figure. I mean my hip bones are wide as hell and those don't get smaller from weight loss. I would never have thought I could need an 8 in pants and I'm not even done losing weight yet. Its like I held this assumption about myself and what my body was like for years and suddenly it's gone. It's disconcerting to feel unfamiliar with your body and to just have such a weird sense of what your size is. It's hard for me to put into words and I'm not even completely able to identify the feeling, but yeah, has anyone else had almost like an out of body sudden experience of unfamiliarity?

| I hate my body too much to diet and exercise Posted: 10 Oct 2020 08:01 PM PDT This seems counterintuitive but I'm finding it very difficult to exercise and diet because of how much i absolutely hate the sight of my own body. All I want to do is curl up in bed and cry about it. It keeps my caloric intake low, and this worked to some extent. But I'm now skinnyfat, and look like shit because skinnyfat does that, and even basic tasks exhaust me. (PSA: don't just diet without any exercise because "it's faster!" trust me you do not want my body). How do you find the motivation to exercise when you barely want to leave the house? Even caloric restriction is started to stop working, I sometimes turn to food for comfort when I hate how I look, which is again very counterproductive. I'm also sick of thinking about food all the time and how I can't have it, I'm sick of being jealous over normal people eating huge unhealthy meals, and I'm sick of eating the same 6 foods just because the macros are good and they are satiating for lower cals and bla bla, so I know I need to start eating at maintanence but add exercise to tone up. I just can't find the mental and physical energy. [link] [comments] |
| New on my weight loss journey and need some advice please :) Posted: 10 Oct 2020 10:41 PM PDT Hello! I am a 30 yo female and I've decided I want to lose 25 lbs by the end of the year. I am 5'6" and my current weight is 167lbs. For high school and most of my 20's I weighed around 130lbs, but starting a few years ago I started to gain weight due to drug addiction, and just not taking care of myself, eating fast food all the time, not exercising, etc. So I've gained more than 30lbs in the past 3 or 4 years. I was heavily using opiates from 2016-2019. Anyways, I now have been clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol since December 18th and I feel like I want to get back to the weight I was before I spiraled out. I want to gain alot of the confidence back that I lost the past few years. Where should I start?? My goal is to lose 8 lbs a month until January 1, 2021. What is the best foods to eat to do that? Me and m brother were arguing about whether its the calories or the carb count in a food product that makes a person gain or lose weight... I thought the key to losing weight is cutting carbs. Am I correct in that? My plan is to increase my water intake, and eat foods like eggs, almonds, string cheese, salads, fruits/veggies, tuna, chicken. Basically foods with not a lot of carbs. Can anyone please add some foods I could incorporate in my diet or tell me which foods I listed aren't good for weight loss? Sorry this post was all over the place, but any advice on how to lose the weight I want is greatly appreciated. :) Peace- CW:167lbs GW#1: 142lbs by 1/1/2021 Ultimate GW: 125lbs [link] [comments] |
| I hit a plateau and I’m not sure what to do next Posted: 11 Oct 2020 12:01 AM PDT Hello all, For starters, I'm a 5'4", 20 y/o woman and I've been losing weight since roughly March of this year. My starting weight was 210 and my current weight is 175; my goal weight is 130-140 range (tbh as long as I hit 140 I'll be happy lol). I've been lingering around that 175 mark for a few weeks now, and I'm starting to think I've plateaued. For context, I work out about 3-4 days a week (cardio dance & yoga, plus random walks) and my calorie goal has been about 1200-1300. I know I probably shouldn't go any lower, but how much higher should I go? I was thinking of upping my calories to 1400 and see how that goes. Thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| SV: Officially down 20lbs even through quarantine! Posted: 10 Oct 2020 09:27 AM PDT I've been trying to lose weight my whole life but finally going about it a healthy way as I get older. Last December I weighed in at my heaviest ever. 225.8 lbs. I managed to lose almost 15lbs before quarantine hit. I maintained that weight loss all through quarantine (I thought I gained 3lbs but it fell off in a week of eating better so I'm guessing it was just water) - I wasn't even trying. I was convinced I was back up to my starting weight and was SHOCKED when I saw I was still in the teens. I started really trying again in August. Today marks 20lbs down and I'm 205.5. I have a long way til my goal but I can at least see the halfway point now. I can't believe it! However I feel like I look exactly the same, even with progress photos. I tend to gain weight VERY evenly which is how I never knew I got to that weight. Even my doctor was floored and said she never would have guessed. My clothes are fitting a little looser all over but it still feels discouraging to not "see" the weight loss. I feel like 20lbs is fairly significant but I guess we'll see. Thanks to anyone that read this, let me know if you're in the same boat as me 😅 ETA: I have just been using my Fitbit to track my calories and log my food, and working out when I can. Since quarantine I haven't been back to the gym so the weight lost since then has been just from housework and going on walks! [link] [comments] |
| I want to hear your weight loss gripes!! Posted: 10 Oct 2020 06:54 AM PDT We are all trying to be positive about our weight loss/maintenance journeys and that is GREAT! But do you have something that is just annoying you? Just the tiniest bit? Something that is not worth a post or even venting to a friend but that is bugging you? I have lost 20 pounds which I feel great about but losing the weight comes with the little annoyances for me. Including that now I am in between sizes and my workout pants don't fit right and fall down when I run! Who can complain over losing twenty pounds BUT COME ON PANTS!!! Also annoying, cheese, why is your serving size so small?! Have you seen what 1 oz looks like?!!?!? and WATER WEIGHT HOW DARE YOU!!! What have you got loseit? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 04:03 AM PDT i gained a lot of weight when I was on Mirtazapin due to depression and sleeping issues. Before I started my weight was around 80kgs (I was and still am 186cm tall). Week for week I gained weight and eventually I reached the peak (105kgs) and after that I was done with this shit. I quit cold turkey because I feeled betrayed by the psychiatric who prescribed it to me (I mentioned that I want something that doesn't cause me to get fat because I was really obese when I was 13). I had a rough time and didnt really do anything to lose weight but a month ago I decided to change that. I went from 104kg to 96kg and I wont be finished until I reach 80 again. You got this too, I believe in you. (If someone wants to hear my first big weight loss story just ask) [link] [comments] |

| Had a DexaFit scan and resting metabolic rate test today. Posted: 10 Oct 2020 03:29 PM PDT I did a Dexa scan today and got measurements of my body composition. It was about what I expected actually. I'm 5'4" and 169 pounds, and overall had 38% body fat. That number is skewed however, because I'm a runner and my legs are all muscle, so it makes up for all the fat in my abdomen. My trunk was at 45% body fat. I also had 2.11 pounds of visceral fat, which is not good. The metabolic test gave me my resting metabolic rate, which is apparently pretty good at 1525. But my respiratory exchange ratio shows that I burn sugars almost exclusively - most people burn a mix of fat and sugar. I'm insulin resistant, so that makes sense. I eat a lot of carbs, so my body burns that and doesn't touch my fat. I have to lower my carbs to force my body to switch to burning fat. Overall I'm really glad I did the tests. They gave me really great info so I can personalize my diet and workouts more appropriately. If you have a DexaFit near you, I highly recommend getting it done. Just be emotionally prepared, the numbers can be quite startling. [link] [comments] |
| Restaurant manager has a hard time saying no. Posted: 10 Oct 2020 07:03 PM PDT So I've been a restaurant manager in several Italian/Pizza restaurants for about 4 years. Part of being a restaurant manager is free food, whenever I want it. I'm sure many of you took a deep breath at that statement. It's hard for me too. I think most of my weight came on because of having unlimited access to delicious restaurant food every day. I think the worst part for me is that I'm what some people call "skinny fat". I'm 5'11", so I was never really "fat", but definitely overweight. I was 203 pounds in June. I've since started my weight loss journey, and I've been using Noom. I am focusing on minimizing calories, since I can't really fit exercise into my schedule. It is so hard for me to talk to people about my weight loss journey. Are there any other restaurant managers here? I feel like I don't have time to exercise, and it's so hard to not eat the delicious food I have access to at work. I was trying to just have a house salad and minestrone soup for lunch every day, but I've been tempted and this week I ate actual food like wraps and salmon rice bowls and stuff. I feel guilty every time I eat meals like this. I just wanted to vent. It's not easy when I'm always around food and I can eat all of the menu items for free every day if I wanted. I don't know where to go from here. I've kind of shifted to eating my "main meal" at work instead of at home, so that saves my calorie budget for the foods I want to order at work. Has anybody else run into a roadblock like this? Starting weight 203 in June, current weight 171, but I feel like I'm developing an unhealthy relationship with food and a fear of eating anything more than 200 calories. I just want to be skinny.

| Continuing my weight loss journey. Posted: 10 Oct 2020 07:48 PM PDT I lost 40 pounds since November of 2019. It was on and off dieting. Sometimes I would gain 5 pounds back and then lose it again. I started struggling recently to get back into losing weight and pushing myself and I felt really unmotivated, until I got some help. My boyfriend landed an amazing high paying job that's about a year or two. He gets some longer breaks but it's 3 weeks gone, 8 days back, and I decided it is the PERFECT time to continue following my goals. I continued my weight loss journey 4 days when he left and I already look less bloated. I feel motivated and super confident that I'm going to be my goal weight by December for Christmas and New Years. My goal weight is 20 pounds away and I'm so pumped to reach that! I miss my boyfriend and he was my biggest supporter, but I feel like this opportunity also gave me an extra push of motivation. I decided to focus on my health and feel more confident every month he comes back to see me. I have so many reasons to want to lose weight; keep myself busy, set goals for myself, have something else to look forward to other then him coming home, surprise him with my transformation, etc! It's so excited to see where this takes me! [link] [comments] |
| I just passed the heaviest I've ever been Posted: 10 Oct 2020 09:50 AM PDT I'm a 5'7 woman, in high school my heaviest was 220 and I've always kept it below that since (never below 190 unfortunately) today I weighed myself for the first time in a while... 230?! I don't get it, I'm always having to readjust my work pants because it seems like they're falling off me, yet they feel tighter in my thighs. I know the problem, I'm a stress/boredom eater and while I have no issues getting a caesar salad from work it's not what I crave most of the time. Today I'm going to get a head start on my New Year's resolution, Fall is finally happening in Arizona so it's not too hot outside and I'm going to cut down on the fast food (I love those chicken quesadillas from Taco Bell) I'm also going to cut down on soda again, I went a solid three months without before starting work at a place with free soda. Hopefully by January 1st I'll at least be back at 220 or maybe even 210-200 would be nice. [link] [comments] |
| Major Milestone: A few victories I noticed today! Posted: 10 Oct 2020 03:38 PM PDT I haven't put a lot of thought in my life in regards to fitness, but I have put a lot of thought into food. At my heaviest, I was 194 pounds. I am 4'11 1/2. (Yes, the 1/2 is important to me 😂) My weight loss was a series of small decisions. I did not need to wake up with a coke in the morning, it was cheaper and healthier to stick to tea. I did not have to have a quick, sugary pastry for breakfast - it can be just as quick and painless to fry up (or microwave) some bacon, and have it with some fruit and toast. And eventually, lunches changed to high protein and fibre meals, And dinners changed to carbohydrate management. And my relationship with food became about a responsible act of self investment and self love instead of a quick way to make the ugly hungry feeling in my stomach go away. It didn't actually take too long to lose - I currently range between 150 - 155. I hit this weight a few months ago, but due to life and reasons, I hadn't noticed some of the nuances of these changes. I had a few wake up calls this week:
So that's my success story so far. Thanks for listening ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2020 09:08 AM PDT I'm seriously surprised because my husband and I have been on a major binge for weeks and weeks... I started teacher training and have been comforting my exhaustion with eating rubbish food and not working out... not in a little way, like eating junk takeaways , bags of crisps and piles of sweets each night...I've been anxious to step on the scale, feeling like I MUST have piled on the weight! But to my absolute surprise, I've only put on +2lbs! Turns out running around a school in a pandemic helps you keep close to a deficit! The feeling of dread I felt about stepping on the scales has given me the motivation to start losing again! Anyone on their day one want to set up an accountability pact? [link] [comments] |
