| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 11:24 AM PDT SW220 (Aug, 2019), GW 145, today I was 144.8 pounds!!! So very excited about this!!! I'm in the middle of a 48 hour fast - will be over at noon tomorrow - and planning on continuing on. Can't wait to see what the number will be tomorrow. I'm here to say CICO, IF, drinking water, eating fairly healthy, measuring and logging foods and calories, and moving more really does it!!! If I can do this anyone can do it! In 62 weeks I've lost 75.2 pounds, that's a very healthy way to loose the weight! The hard part? Moving into maintenance!!! Just going to stick to my plan, graduall gradually add 50-100 calories a month and when I stop loosing weight call it a day! Gotta check my TDEE and see what I'm aiming for. If I can do this anyone can!!! I tried to post a picture of the 144.8 on the scale but Reddit wouldn't let me..... 😁 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 03:45 PM PDT https://i.imgur.com/0fzBxjk.jpg So far, I've lost a total of over 30kg from my heaviest weight (101.1kg) and have weighed in at 70.7kg today. The before photo on the left is one of the only heaviest photos I have of myself which is at 92.6kg. But this isn't me at my highest. I don't have many photos from my heaviest weight. That was a time I completely shied away from cameras, especially photos just of my body. I still dislike photos in general, but I'm slowly staring to like what I see in the mirror, or at least can accept it more. At least seeing them side by side, I can see I've come a long way. Feeling a bit discouraged lately as I've been having a few slip ups and falling off the wagon, and haven't been losing weight as quickly as I'd like. I'm trying to learn from my mistakes instead of my normal response of feeling guilty or beating myself up over it or having a "might as well start over tomorrow" mentality. Mistakes happen. We are human. It's a journey and a process. Not learning is a wasted opportunity for growth. I'm slowly realising that patience and consistency are key. The weight didn't come on overnight, it won't be gone overnight either. Take photos, do measurements. Track your progress. It will be hard. This is one of the hardest things you will ever do for yourself. But not starting and staying unhealthy is harder. Pick your hard. All I hope is that I can inspire just one person to start or continue powering ahead on their journeys. We all got this. Stay strong guys. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 06:34 PM PDT Alright, I recently said that my plan wasn't working and that I was feeling discouraged, but I went from 145 lb to 140! I started one month ago with 1 hour of exercise, 5 days in the week. I have been -Drinking so much water (2.1 lt) -Being used to an 500 caloric deficit -Abandoned immense quantities of sugar I'm happy and I want so much to continue doing exercise! I have lost 5/28 lb in just a month =) I will share my results at the end of this month, luck for everyone! (Also, if someone have some help for me to lose weight I'll be happy to get it. I'm 15 years old, fem, and can't get a doctor because my parents won't take me as they believe I'm able to lose weight for myself 💖 I know that nobody here is a doctor but if you have some teenager advice I'd be really happy!)

| Something clicked about moderation a while ago and it was a shocking realization Posted: 08 Oct 2020 06:41 PM PDT I don't know moderation. I never have. Video games? Could play for hours and neglect school and ruin my life! Eating? Could eat non stop all day the same stuff over and over until I physically get sick! Sleeping? I love me some late-night up staying followed by 14hr crash. Smoking weed? Don't remember a day I wasn't high between 2015 and 2019. Now, I've undone all my destructive habits and that includes overeating. I've learned a lot about myself and how there was more to it than just 'like, totally, not overeating'. I learned about small things like chewing before swallowing and big things like calorie tracking, exercise, and how the dopaminergic system affects my eating. I have never been able to moderate my self and my only way of exerting self-control was by quitting things cold turkey; my brain would work binarily - either all or nothing; either all the sugar, candy, and junk food or absolutely none of that. It worked for the longest time - a couple of years. After that, I've had periods of almost-fully letting go and strictly gaining back control. However, a few weeks ago, as most great ideas and realizations come, I was chilling on the couch doing absolutely nothing when it hit me: With my all-or-nothing mindset, I've had to sacrifice so much to maintain control; I've had to sacrifice completely stopping all the food that I like but is ultimately bad for me. Think switching to black coffee, drinking only water, tracking every milligram of food, keeping strictly within my calories quota, etc. However, with the moderation mentality, I don't have to sacrifice all that; the only thing I have to sacrifice is time, or better yet, frequency - the number of times I can eat something a week and the time in between those moment. At this point, it was simply a matter of doing the math: sacrificing the latter was more energetically favorable than sacrificing the former. That was it! It was like a switch in my brain and my mindset changed right away. It was like the missing piece to complete the puzzle. I don't need to completely cut off ice cream (which I absolutely love); all I have to do is slow down the frequency and amount. I stopped myself earlier from adding a third scoop to my plate and told myself that I don't need that much and guess what, I didn't. I still weigh my food bc it's better to have some idea of what I'm inserting into my body but I'm not obsessing over irrelevant things like "how do I find the exact number of calories in this ice cream that doesn't have official nutritional information" or "weight my empty pan first, add some oil, and then weigh it again to determine exactly how much oil I am using while cooking". It's been working well so far. I still have those urges from my previous life and I do tend to them sometimes but I've noticed an effort to stop myself or to take responsibility and track it even tho I didn't weigh it exactly (I used to not add an item to my food tracking app if I hadn't weighed it at all). I have been applying the same philosophy in regards to sleep, watching netflix, or lounging around doing nothing and I look forward to this new level of self-control and discipline. And live from New York, it's Saturday Night! [link] [comments] |
| Finally under 70kg/154lbs, for the first time in my adult life! Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:37 PM PDT Tl;dr: decided to get my life together 1.5 years ago, mainly using CICO and some light exercise I've lost 19kg/41.8 lbs and finally weight under 70kg/154lbs and I cried a bit. To preface this, I started gaining weight rapidly when I was around 18. Depression, being "unsupervised" as I moved and didn't have my parents looking after me, having money and a job, well, it was a mess. I would say at my heaviest I was probably way over 90kg/198lbs, but I didnt weight myself so I don't know for sure. So about 1.5 years ago, and after few unsuccessful 30-day diets over the years (in that they didn't trigger change, but I did lose some weight), I finally found the interest to get my life a bit more together. I worked in an office with its own gym, and couple of colleagues wanted to start going and invited me along. It was around the same time I first read about CICO and though I was a bit scared I'd go overboard with obsessing over calories I decided to give it a go. Its been an up and down journey and I gained around 8kg/17.6 lbs in the 2019 winter + beginning of the pandemic which set me back. But realising that I can have days where I go over the calorie limit has helped me to hop right back to proper diet afterwards, so there's been a more or less even downward trend regardless of me having cake at a birthday party or enjoying my parents cooking when I've been home. I try to weight myself once a week only (again, I need limits to ensure I'm not obsessing over things), but forgot this week until my sister commented that I look really small (which already made my day) on a picture, so this morning I stepped on a scale and it showed 69.5kg/153.2lbs. And I cried a bit because I've been going back and forth between 72-70.5kg/159-155lbs for a while, and because breaking the 70kg has been my main milestone for a while (and 68kg/149.9 lbs was the last weight I remember being at 18). I'm almost 27 years old now, and even if it took almost a decade to get here I'm ridiculously proud of myself. I haven't really shared anything about my weight loss with people to avoid making a big deal out of it but I really, really wanted to share this with someone, and I've been lurking on this subreddit for a while and it felt appropriate given the motivation you all have given to me as well! I'm still overweight (BMI 25.8, so almost there), and my goal weight is still some 8-10kg away at around 60kg/132lbs (unless I feel like its too low when I get closer, in which case I'm happy with whatever makes me feel best) but slowly getting there.

| When you lose weight but only you and your doctor know it Posted: 08 Oct 2020 01:13 PM PDT This year, I lost a significant amount of weight but the only person who has noticed (because she has my stats) is my doctor. I wasn't intending to lose weight. I started the C25K program again this summer because I was just tired of never finishing things. Well, I completed the program and I'm working on doing a 10K. I also became a vegetarian for ethical reasons. I started this things not thinking I would lose weight. Honestly, I was kinda team FA for a while. Anyway, I had a virtual doctor's appointment in the summer and she asked me to weigh myself. She was very happy when I told her my weight because apparently I had lost about 15 pounds. I started the year at 226 lbs. After this appointment, a light bulb went off in my head. I guess I knew weight loss was possible and I also knew that I didn't have to feel miserable doing it. Now I've lost 30 lbs. I'm under 200 lbs. I'm almost out of the obese range. I even managed to fit into a size 12 jeans (although they were very tight and I ended up returning them). I've lost so much weight. My clothes fit better. My face has slimmed down. Yet, as of now, the only people who have noticed anything are me and my doctor. In some ways, it feels discouraging. I'm not going to stop running or go and eat all the meat. However, I sometimes wish someone else in my life would notice. Did any of you experience this? If so, how did you deal? [link] [comments] |
| I overeat when I'm anxious and I'm anxious because I overeat. How do I break the cycle? Posted: 09 Oct 2020 12:09 AM PDT All I keep hearing is how the obese are more likely to suffer from complications from Covid. I'm about 75lbs overweight. I lay awake every night making plans to start over the next day and then I blow it. What the hell is wrong with me? I am literally self sabotaging myself. I overeat when I feel depressed and things feel out of control. Instead of making me do better, Covid has seen me put even more weight on. I'm disgusted with myself. I'm a single parent and need to be around for my kids. Anyway, today is the day. Writing here so it's out there I guess. Any advice? Big changes? Little changes? Feels like such a mountain to climb.

| I hit a new fitness goal and I feel like death Posted: 09 Oct 2020 12:32 AM PDT Hello! I'm a 5'7 woman on break from college and I started my weight loss journey in the beginning of september, I have about fifty pounds to lose and I've always enjoyed walking as my exercise, It may not be the most time saving but it's what I'll do consistently and since this isn't my first go starting to be more active I've been able to build up time and speed. I hit a new personal single day distance high yesterday of 20 miles which was awesome, and I am normally never sore or even that tired the next day but I feel like I got hit by a bus, especially my knees. I've never had this happne with just walking, shoud I wait a few days before speed-walking again? Aside from the pain I'm really proud of myself. I used to barely be able to walk for an hour at 3mph. I've never posted here before but I just wanted to tell someone. It's been lonely stuck at home. Anyone reached a new fitness goal lately? Please tell me! [link] [comments] |
| Thinner than I've been in 24 years! Posted: 08 Oct 2020 06:22 AM PDT About four months ago I had something of an epiphany about my disordered relationship to food. I started unpicking a lot of the psychological motivations behind my binge eating and constant need to be stuffed full of food, and decided to make a change. Last week was the first time I weighed in and gained, rather than lost - only .6 lbs, but in the past it would have ruined my motivation and resulted in despair and a spiral of destructive thoughts. This time, I shrugged and got on with my efforts. Today I weighed in, and I'm 292 lbs - the thinnest I've been in 24 years. I've lost upwards of 50 lbs, am exercising regularly and feeling much more comfortable, healthy, and strong in myself. I still have a long road ahead, but this is the longest sustained change in my eating and exercise habits and outlook in my entire life, and I'm optimistic for the future. I might stumble on the road, but I'm going to pick myself back up and keep doing it, because it's worth doing. Good luck to everyone else on this journey to redefine themselves and make a change. I believe in you all. If I can do it, I'm certain that you can. ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:26 AM PDT As my title says, having the daily/weekly discussion themes all be stickied into one general sticky has killed all interaction and discussion. I remember times where the questions threads, the 24h threads and the motivation threads had around 200-350 comments a day. Nowadays it would have been a great day if it reaches 15 comments. I remember when I first lost weight through CICO, commenting and posting through those threads helped me a lot in the beginning and it was nice being held accountable like that. It gave this subreddit much more of a community feeling back then. Nowadays it feels more like a random sub with occasional motivational stuff that ends up on /r/all and not much more. I strongly believe having them being stickied seperately each day would be for the benefit of this subreddit. I'd like to hear your thoughts about this as well. (Sorry for my bad english btw) [link] [comments] |

| Do the saggy tits ever get better? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:35 AM PDT Today I hit the 70lbs loss mark, but the one thing I've really been struggling with as a mid 20 year old female is the fact that my tits are well terrible in my opinion. I've always been lager in that area and at first when I started losing weight my chest size didnt change, but in the past 30lbs they've really started sagging, so much so that like when I wear a sports bra I feel like I could roll them up like a fruit by the foot. So what I'm asking is if anyone has experienced this sagging get better as your weight stabilizes? Or should I start looking at getting a plastic surgeon when I'm at my goal? [link] [comments] |
| So much of my identity revolves around being fat... Posted: 08 Oct 2020 04:28 AM PDT I've been overweight since I was about 16. I was between 180-220 from 16-19 and then when college hit I ballooned to the mid 250s. My highest weight earlier this year was 265 (I'm 29). Now I'm down to 228, which i'm aware is still obese, but I'm finding that losing 37lb has really changed how I view myself. Even though I still see a fat person in the mirror, I can now see the potential to be a normal weight. I can see where and how the fat is coming off and what my body MIGHT look like at a lower weight. I've lost 2 dress sizes. My confidence is growing and for the first time in my life I feel like I can really do this. But some small part of me feels disassociated from myself. Like maybe that I'd made my peace with being the fat friend and the fat sister, the one who doesn't go on hikes and worries about whether the seatbelt on the flight will be too tight. Its an incredibly strange sensation. It's like the world is shifting and opening up around me. My friendship dynamics are changing a little - friends are talking to me about fitness now and seem curious about what's going on and in turn I'm engaging in a more confident way. I no longer feel like i'm not attractive enough to be seen with my boyfriend. I can shop in the normal, non-plus size sections. I'm actually looking forward to seeing family at Christmas instead of worrying about looking terrible or eating too much. Most of all, i'm realising how much I had measured my self-worth by my weight. Now that I might not be fat forever, I no longer feel resigned to being below-par... But I'm so used to living in a fat body that I don't know who i am if i'm not fat. I'm interested to see how my sense of identity continues to shift as I work towards my GW of 165. When the pandemic is over, will I come out of it a happier, more daring person? Has anyone else experienced this? What did it feel like when you reached your GW? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 12:33 PM PDT It's funny to me because even though I haven't lost a lot of lbs yet, I've lost inches. Even before I was losing anything, I felt so much better when I would eat because it was healthy food. I generally have been cooking healthy meals with lots of veggies and I have been eating more fruit and whatnot. I already feel more confident in myself, especially looking in the mirror and seeing a difference even in just my cheeks. My acne has also been exponentially better. Plus, when I do eat something not so great, I don't feel as guilty and awful afterward because I know I don't do it often anymore! I love feeling energized and happy and confident!! I know this isn't a normal post for this sub, but I have been feeling really good lately and I think it's because I'm changing my habits. Since most people on this sub are running the same race, I thought I would post about it here. If this isn't appropriate I will delete it. [link] [comments] |
| How do I get out of my plateau and work around my injury? Please help Posted: 09 Oct 2020 01:01 AM PDT So, I used to be overweight bordering on obesity, but since then I've lost around 35 pounds. Currently, I'm 18 and around 110ish pounds at 5'2. My goal is to get to either 105 pounds or reach my ideal body shape which includes some form of toned stomach and etc. I'm not sure how much I eat per day but when I'm 80% full I stop eating at every meal and I eat clean around 75% of the time (25% take-out). I work out everyday too. I was losing weight pretty reliably and even got to 108 pounds for a short stretch but then...I got a knee injury like the ligaments around my knee just became super sore because I'd been running on the treadmill at 12.0 incline for 2 years and it was finally showing signs of wear and tear on me. Now, I'm really struggling. I used to be able to burn ~400 calories on my treadmill and now, since I have to walk, I can only burn around ~200 until it's been 50 full minutes and I'm really bored. I don't know what to do and I'm scared my diet will lead to me gaining weight. This state has been giving me so much anxiety and making me so sad that I feel like I'm so out of control of my situation. I feel guilty eating because I won't be able to burn it off and I'll just feel more and more bloated each day. I just want any advice I suppose. How to best get over my knee injury, how to run properly on treadmill so I can get back to burning the same amount of calories, any alternate exercises that would help, and any problems you can extrapolate from reading my story would be really helpful. Thank you so much I really need help right now I've been struggling a lot over this mentally [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 05:02 PM PDT I realized at the beginning of my journey that I wouldn't have much support, and when I lost 10lbs, then 20lbs, then 30lbs, it never seemed good enough for people to be proud of, including myself. I never felt proud of what I accomplished, and I never felt like the people around me felt proud of me either. Even as I'm about to reach 110lbs down, I just struggle to feel proud. It made the entire journey so much more difficult because I felt, and continue to feel, completely alone. Sometimes, you need to find the courage within yourself to be the support you need, and it gets exhausting and sometimes its nice to have someone just tell you you're doing amazing. So here it is for you. To the person who binged but got right back up and realized that all it was, was a moment of weakness and that they aren't yet defeated, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!! To the person who just started their journey, who has finally found the strength that was in them all along and is taking their first steps to be healthier, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!! To the person who has been at it for awhile, who knows the struggles and knows how hard it is, yet continues to fight for themselves every single day even when they have trouble seeing their success, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!! To the person who lost the weight, gained it all back, and are now taking the first step once again, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!! To the person who has no support, no one to lean on, no one to share their struggles or pain to but continues to fight through each day, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! It doesn't matter if you've lost 1lb or 100lbs, you are aiming toward a healthier, happier life, and that's amazing. CONGRATULATIONS! Finally, if I may, I would like to share with you two songs that have helped me get through some hard times during my weight loss journey, in hopes that at least one of these songs will bring a spark to that flame inside of you!! Jukebox the Ghost- Great Unknown If you have any songs that got you through your own journey, please do share!! [link] [comments] |
| Low-Carb Diet: High-Protein vs. High-Fat? Posted: 09 Oct 2020 12:37 AM PDT I am currently planning on doing a low carb diet with intermittent fasting but I am a bit confused on which path to take. I have heard about keto being effective with intermittent fasting but the idea of eating a lot of fat after fasting doesn't appeal to me. Previously I was doing a high protein, medium carb and low-fat diet which helped a lot with fat loss but unfortunately with my brother testing positive for COVID and me going into self-isolation made me stop working but now I am planning to workout again but I need a new diet plan so I thought you guys can help me with that. I plan on limiting myself to 1200 calories a day and ill be starting with a 16:8 fasting period. As i plan on starting my fast at 10pm and end it at 2pm, so breakfast is out of the equation which leaves two major meals a day which makes it a total of 400 to 500 cal per major meal and 200 for minor meals so i need to plan accordingly for that. I'd appreciate it if some one could tell me some decent meal plans that they use. and since the mods removed my previous post i guess ill have to put in my stats aswell.

| I still have 30 pounds to go but I can't get out of a binge cycle. Posted: 08 Oct 2020 11:49 PM PDT Hi, I am a 15F who lost 16kg/35lbs in quarantine, English isn't my first language so I apologize for my mistakes. I was overweight since childhood and it never really bothered me until i actually became obese in 9th grade. I am 160cm/5'2 and my highest weight is 81kg/178lbs. I didn't weigh myself often so when I saw the number 81 on the scale I was so shocked and decided to lose weight. I did CICO for 5 months with rules such as eating 1400-1600cals everyday, not allowing myself junk food, walking at least 10k steps everyday+ playing basketball with my siblings on the weekends. That way I went from 81kg to 65kg in 5 months. There were times I binged but I don't remember bingeing for this long. My online school started 2 weeks ago and ever since then I'm bingeing everyday. I always eat snacks on the breaks and have 5-6 full meals everyday. I'm very busy with school right now since my exams starts in less than a month so the only way I can study is through eating. If I don't eat I think about food while studying and it distracts me. I lost all the weight by working hard all summer so I don't want to gain it back. Also my goals were to get to 52kgs and I don't want to make it even more hard for me. There are a lot of ppl here who lost tons of weight so I thought I would ask people with experience on how to stop this cycle. Any tips on stopping stress eating??? [link] [comments] |
| Finally made it to One-derland! Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:34 AM PDT (M | 27 | 5'7") SW 247 // CW 199 // GW 145-155 At this point in my life I feel like I don't have many people to tell, but I'm in ONE-DERLAND! I've been overweight/obese for the last decade, and this morning I finally saw the scale read out a 1 as the first number! I started my journey pretty much at the beginning of March at 246 pounds, and this morning I landed on 199.6. It's been a hell of an experience, and I still have several pounds to go, but it's been 10 years since I've been under 200. I've been doing CICO, a shit ton of water, and cycling. And y'all, if you don't have the Happy Scale app, it is an absolute game changer. I'm not sure if it's on Android, but I'm sure there's an equivalent. Happy Scale and my bike have been the two biggest assets I've had. I had a few pieces of advice if anyone was interested.
Some things may not work for everyone, but I hope a morsel of what I've written will help someone out there. Believe in yourself, friend! As Greg LeMond said "It never gets easier, you just get faster." [link] [comments] |

Whatever your dietary goals may be, I hope you stick to them for the next 24 hours (and then worry about the following 24!). Who's with me? Thanks to /u/nofollowthrough who made the 24-Hour Pledge an ongoing /r/loseit institution. Due to space limitations, this may be a sticky only occasionally. Please find it daily using the sidebar or top message. On reddit, your vote means, "I found this interesting" (...read more about voting on reddit) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Oct 2020 04:37 PM PDT This is to all the losers and to anyone who is on this lifelong journey. Your weight will fluctuate throughout the day. This morning I was 135lbs at 0630. Then after work I stepped on the scale at 136lbs and after my run I stepped on the scale and was down to 133.4lbs. Does this mean anything? Nope. I only input my morning weight and I stick it into my Libre app and forget about it. I look at averages and trends, take pictures and generally trust the progress. Take heart. Take a deep breath and continue on. This year I only lost 10lbs and I have been going up and down 3lbs since, trying to get under 130lbs. It is disheartening to not continue losing but, I gained other things. Better eating habits and carving out time to work out. I bought a weight scale and now I have a better idea of what one serving looks like. The scale is just a tool. Your body is an amazing life form that exists and you are a being made of stardust and dinosaur piss. Failure is only permanent when we die. Every breath, movement, thought is propelling us all closer and closer to our goal. Let success not be measured by the goal at the end but the little victories that we have everyday. Tldr: your body weight fluctuates a lot, don't freak out. Drink water. [link] [comments] |
| Is there really such thing as "big boned"? Posted: 08 Oct 2020 06:34 PM PDT Hi guys. I've just lost my first 22lbs/10kgs! I am feeling really optimistic, but my family keep telling me that I'm a "stocky/muscly build" so I probably won't get to a healthy weight as per what the BMI says. To clarify, they're not saying I can't get healthy, they just feel that 53kgs may not be where I end up. Is being a "stocky" build something I need to take into consideration with my ultimate health goals? Is there such thing? Just for more information, I'm 4"10, (VERY SHORT) so BMI says a healthy weight for me at MAX is 53kgs. So technically it could go lower and be healthy. I have always sat around 80kgs for my entire adult life. [link] [comments] |
