| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 03:14 PM PST Mid 20's M 5'10" SW:297 CW: 250 GW:200lb for now Well, as we close out day 89, I thought I'd take the time to share my progress...what has helped me...what I have changed...and what I have done to get where i'm at. I have always been overweight since I was 10, probably. It's just been getting worse over time. I've tried weight loss diets a few times, with no more success than like 10lb lost. I just fizzled out after about a week or two. Mostly just lost the initial water weight and then stopped when no progress was made after that. It finally came to a head when I was maintaining almost 300lb. I knew something had to change. I heard from a friend that he had success with weight loss, but found it too difficult to maintain. It kind of clicked for me that I could do it if I actually tried. I decided CICO was really going to be it. I was going to drastically cut my calories from my probably 3500 a day to 1,500. Honestly, I was so focused on the challenge I set forth that I didn't find it too difficult to do. I continuously ended my week at around 400 calories surplus, so I reduced it to 1,300 with the knowledge I could go over if need be. In addition to that, I decided to take up walking. (Baby steps). I set my goal over 6,500 steps a day, and walk my backyard on the weekend to hit 3 miles, sometimes 5. Once I started getting down in weight, I even tried getting conditioned to run. I'm still working on that, but it's honestly fun. I can't run for long, but probably 20 times what I was able to before. So here I am, knocking on 50lb down, probably 5-6" on my waist lost, and i'm still making great progress with CICO. I hope this continues the way down. My eating habits have really changed for the better, so i'm confident I can easily maintain below 200 when I get there. I won't let that happen again... It honestly doesn't feel like I lost 47lb, and also doesn't look like it to me, but i'm sure that'll change once I lose the rest. Losing weight from here on out should be a much greater difference, so I hear. I do feel better in general, though. [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone else get sad when you realize that nostalgic food doesnt taste as good as you remember? Posted: 16 Nov 2020 08:54 AM PST What prompted this question was that this past weekend I made some pillsbury orange sweet rolls. These were a staple in my childhood. We had them for sleepovers, Christmas morning, and other special occasions. Im not much of a breakfast eater anymore, so I hasnt had them in a while and when I ate them they were... disappointing. Not bad, exactly, but just not worth it? Then I realized I felt this way about a lot of my old favorites. I'm starting to realize I don't really like Hershey's chocolate, for example. When I let myself comfort eat, very few of my old defaults sound good, and I'm usually stuck with indecision on what to get on takeout nights. Not to say im perfect and never eat fast food, I can still demolish some arby's which, lbr, is bottom of the barrel stuff, but a lot of it just isnt as satisfying as it once was. Anyone else feel this way? Anything you're particularly sad to find isnt as delicious as you remember? [link] [comments] |
| I’m going to exercise EVERY DAY for the next 90 days!!! Posted: 16 Nov 2020 08:26 AM PST So I've decided to exercise every single day for 90 days and see what happens to my body! I'm choosing to do this now because I've finally recovered from two hip surgeries and I've gotten back into a slump of inactivity since I graduated from physical therapy a few weeks ago. I'm so grateful for a functioning body and I don't want to waste it. Another reason for choosing right now is I just want to show myself that I can make time for exercise even without access to a gym (COVID) and during a busy time of the year. Some of the exercises I'm planning on incorporating: running (currently just started a "none to run" program my physical therapist gave me when I graduated PT, so it's mostly walking for now), at home strength training with minimal equipment (I have dumbbells up to 10lbs, resistance bands, and a medicine ball), yoga, stationary bike, walking my pup. I realize 90 days of intense exercise in a row is not advisable, so full disclosure for those that might call me out on this: it won't be very intense. I'm a fitness newb and after the hip surgeries and a whole year of PT, I know my limits. I'm planning on having at least one, probably two "rest" days a week which would most likely be yoga days. Here are my stats for today, 11/16/2020, Day 1 of this personal challenge: 5'6", 173 lbs, 13.5" arms, 31" waist, 44" hips, 27" thigh, Fitbit resting heart rate 57 bpm, Fitbit cardio fitness score 34-38 (fair to average). If anyone has any tips for hitting the pavement, weights, mat, etc. when you don't exactly feel like it, please drop them in the comments! I look forward to updating you guys in 90 days!

| SV: HOLY HECK I’M NOT OBESE ANYMORE Y’ALL Posted: 16 Nov 2020 09:25 AM PST M17 SW:260 CW:222.7 GW:180 I just weighed in this morning to see that I now have a BMI under 30, putting me into the overweight category rather than obese! This sub and everyone here are amazing, going through posts every day gave me motivation to keep going and not give up. You guys have no idea how much I appreciate this sub, and how it gives such an amazingly safe place to celebrate achievements, ask for advice, share progress, and everything in between! I initially started my weight loss journey the week I figured out my older brother got diagnosed with type two diabetes and had to go on insulin, suddenly this fear I thought could never affect me was almost CERTAINLY going to affect me if I didn't make a change. I never got motivated enough to actually stick to something until I found this sub. I always had made plans I never stuck to, telling myself I would do it next year and that it'd all be fine, but finally I just had actually START it. I calculated my TDEE, downloaded LoseIt, and have been on CICO ever since eating around 1,700 calories a day. My family has been super supportive of me doing this, and have been cooking meals with me all the time! We're going on walks, my dad has been sharing his weight lifting routines with me, and there's nothing but good healthy foods in the fridge. I've got a long life I wanna live, a lot of stuff I wanna do, while I don't want to sound super dramatic, this sub honestly might have saved my life or at least prolonged it. So, thank you everyone. While I still got a ways to go, I'm so excited to be making true and meaningful progress. Keep going, stay motivated, and stay healthy! [link] [comments] |
| my weight is finally under 200 lbs. i am feeling happy again! Posted: 16 Nov 2020 12:22 PM PST Hello everyone, first I would like to thank you for taking some of your time to read my story. I am 18, been overweight since I know myself. My childhood was mostly sad, as it was hard for me to make any friends. i also had a lot of issues regarding my self esteem. i was eating a lot every day until i reached 295 lbs, and got told at the hospital that "if you continue like that, you will not pass the age of 30". That wake my self consciousness, and i started putting all my energy and time into trying to make life enjoyable, bcs life was not enjoyable at all. I started losing it, lost it successfully, then got fat again, then lost it and , again, putting it back, but every of these failures taught me something. don't be afraid to fail. See it as an opportunity to analyze what you re doing wrong. Dont give up if you failed... Because maybe the next time you try, there is a chance that you will actually succeed! After 1 year of trying and trying, I found a method to lose weight constantly: i did CICO, eating foods that are not necessarily very healthy, but enjoyable and not that much calories. And.. I lost 105 lbs, with effort. Nobody was really by my side, but myself. I was the one encouraging myself and with whom I was talking at midnight; and cooperating with myself really made a difference.

| I think I started to develop an eating disorder while on Noom Posted: 16 Nov 2020 03:46 PM PST Ok this is kind of a weird post for me, but I hope I'm not violating any rules by posting this. I don't know if this is necessarily a PSA, but it just feels like something I need to talk about. I started Noom in October at 220lbs (30 F, 5'6", CW 209) and it led to some really bad eating habits. Now I've used CICO off an on over the past few years to help with weight loss. When I track, I lose weight, but eventually, something stressful happens or I get into a new relationship and start to feel better about myself (yeah I know that one's for my therapist) and stop feeling a need to lose weight. My friend tried Noom and lost like 100lbs and kept it off so I thought hey, maybe this will work for me. For those of you who are not familiar with Noom, it's a weight loss app that features psychology with calorie tracking, "good" and "bad" foods, a coach, a group, and daily weigh-ins. The good:
The bad (for me):
While it's normal for me to feel a little hungry the first couple of weeks while I'm eating a deficit, usually I get used to it. Instead, I've basically felt starving for weeks. It got to the point where I would eat just enough to keep from fainting, log it, feel disappointed, and then put the rest of my food away. I'd actually get nauseated at the thought of eating more because of the stress of having the numbers go up on the scale or stay the same. I started skipping a lot of meals and my friends started to get worried about what I was eating and what I was saying. Weighing myself every day felt like I was throwing my failure in my face if I didn't lose anything from the previous day, and I started wanting to restrict more and more so that I could see the numbers change. I lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks, which might not actually be concerning but was definitely faster than I've ever lost before. Not going to lie, that made me want to stick with it. Most resources talk about eating disorders and assume that you're under a BMI of like 18 and I'm up there in the 30s but deep down I can tell that something went wrong. For once, I'm actually struggling to make sure I eat enough and I feel like I have to track to keep myself from spiraling downward. I think I'm slowly working my way back but it's tough to beat that feeling of nausea once I no longer feel like I'm eating to survive. Now I know that there are probably tons of you who are using Noom and liking it just fine and staying healthy, but I'm definitely going back to MFP with weekly weigh-ins. I'm not really sure what I'm looking for with this post but I guess I just wanted to put it out there in case anyone had a similar experience. [link] [comments] |
| Diet and Exercise are nearly Opposite skills Posted: 16 Nov 2020 07:33 PM PST Exercise requires a period of focused effort, and then you are done. Watching what I eat, I've found, is almost the opposite skill. For me what it requires is relaxed attention and awareness of my goals. And the rub is that attention and awareness must be there 24 hours a day. If I walk by a bowl of snacks and "forget" for 30 seconds what my goal is, the next thing I know I'm swallowing the snack that I just finished chewing. I transition back from auto-pilot thinking damn, that was not helpful, I suck. For me watching what I eat is like maintaining good posture. Or driving on an empty highway. Neither one is "hard", but both are hard in the sense you have to maintain focus and attention non-stop. No breaks not even for 20 seconds or you will drive off into the woods. Pretty much no one ever says let me just slump my shoulders forward and look down at the ground. It just happens. It happens precisely because you are not at the wheel. Auto-pilot takes over and auto-pilot does not give a damn about your posture, or your waistline. So for me, dieting has been almost 100% a mental exercise in maintaining attention and awareness during the day. The physical sensations of hunger I found were surprisingly not an obstacle. If I entertained breaking my diet, breaking open the cookies or chips, then yes, I got viciously and acutely hungry. Like I can't hold out another 10 minutes much less until dinner. Like this is torture, I'm getting low blood sugar, I'm going to pass out. But if I immediately shut off the option of eating. If I just say you know I'm having three meals today, and that's enough, that's more than 90% of my ancestors probably had hunting and gathering their way across the plains. That's more than millions of people have even today. Then the hunger just went away. Or, maybe I just re-interpreted that hunger feeling as a signal I had not yet ruined my eating that day, I had not pigged out. A feeling that I was on track. It became kind of a comforting feeling, I swear. But the constant attention was hard and continues to be hard. Again it's like driving. It's not physically hard. You are just sitting there in a comfy chair listening to music. But you have to keep your eyes open. You have to keep checking the mirrors. You have to keep between the lines. You cannot ever forget: you are behind the wheel. [link] [comments] |
| Scheduling and routine is such an underrated factor in weight loss Posted: 16 Nov 2020 10:36 AM PST Seriously, habits are so key. I lost 25 pounds in 4 months with the help of consistency but as soon as there was a shift in my schedule and I no longer had my safety net, I gained 15 pounds back in 3 months. I could see myself making unhealthy choices but my brain would argue and say "we spent months doing the right thing, we're just taking a liiiiiittle break" and I would justify ordering that pizza, I'd justify having a few cookies after 10 pm. Luckily I stepped on the scale again after a hiatus of a few months and saw the number and wanted to hold myself accountable again. So I'm down 4 pounds from that but it sucks. I've already lost these pounds, I had already put the work in and seen the results and I let it go. At least this is a lesson to me. My life isn't a routine, it's a life and there's going to be variety and variance and I have to be disciplined enough to navigate those and make healthy choices. I refuse to let this be a yo-yo diet. I am in this for the long haul. Accountability and consistency are key. Keeping yourself consistent in the face of inconsistencies is probably one of the most powerful and underrated disciplines you can have. Stick with it guys, don't be too discouraged, and stay disciplined [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 03:27 PM PST Sorry for the melodramatic title. I have so much to be thankful for in my life but at the same time, sometimes I feel like giving up altogether but I want to be there for my infant daughter. I'm a 26-year-old guy and at 18 I began binge eating. My mother got diagnosed with cancer and a year later my best friend did too. Long story short, I stayed close to them on their journey through illness but they both passed away. My mother died 3 years ago and my best friend died 3 months ago. I'm not looking for sympathy, I just feel the need to give context. Through the anticipatory grief and then the grief following their deaths, my diet has been awful. For instance, since the pandemic started I gained 20lbs, lost 40 lbs and now I've gained 20lbs. The strange thing is the highest BMI I've ever had is 30, just about obese. Now I'm at 26.3. When I put my mind to it I've great will-power and routine but I always keep going back to my old ways because I suffer terribly from binge eating disorder. This is why I'm not currently obese, because I'm always yoyo-dieting. Right now I'm eating about 5000 calories a day. Sometimes the despair from the last few years leaves me questioning why should I bother? Underneath it all though I'm a very positive person and I don't want to ruin my life or my child's through my self-destructive habits. I want to fight this and I'm taking the first steps. I've organised to start therapy in January, I've just downloaded 4 audiobooks to help with my struggle and I'm plotting out a new schedule and diet. I just really need some friends who are going through the same health & diet improvements. My best friend was always there to encourage and listen to me until the very end. He told me numerous times not to throw my health away because it's so precious. Without him, I don't really have any person in my life who truly cares. So, I decided to make this throw-away and make a new Instagram account where I can upload progress photos and bullshit comments beneath them about how my diet, thoughts, week, and overall progress is going. I'm not going to show my face as I'm embarrassed even writing this but I'm going to upload progress pictures no matter how disgusting or ashamed I feel about the week I had or about how my body looks. I want to start facing up to my decisions and taking control of my life for the better. If any of you have an Instagram and are on a weightloss journey, please DM me and I'll add you. I just wan't to be part of a positive community and see other people who are going through something similar. I feel like it would inspire me and I miss the feeling of having understanding friends. Thanks so much for reading guys. PS: My username is a reference to Arrested Development. Just thought I should point that out in case I seemed like a creep lol. [link] [comments] |

| Got up to 270 lbs, looking at myself made me want to vomit. Posted: 16 Nov 2020 02:43 PM PST Main take away for me is that you can literally just cut out soda and fast food and likely still lose a substantial amount of weight. I went from 270 to 240 by just replacing two of my fast food meals a day with meal prep. Plateaued there for a year or so but during the summer started replacing my nightly stop ins with more home cooking, lost ten pounds in about three months. Totally committed to cardio (40 mins a day) and no more fast food an have lost another six in about two weeks. The plan is once I start platueaing from this regiment to start implementing weightlifting although I have no idea what I'm doing. I am doing push-ups, planks, and crunches in preparation for this. Start right now. No excuses. Exercise can replace the fleeting feeling of satisfaction and stress relief from a poor diet. Quit the crap food/drinks and your life will improve dramatically. I wish I had done this years ago. If anyone has any additional pointers I'd be glad to hear them, if like to actual get some muscle mass but don't really know what to do. [link] [comments] |
| I need to tell someone about my progress Posted: 16 Nov 2020 08:27 PM PST I decided in late July of this year that I would try losing weight. I've lost a large amount of weight in the past, but ended up gaining it all back in college. I've tried multiple times before, but this time felt different. October was a slow month with no weight loss (but I wasn't gaining either). I'm getting discouraged. I started noticing subtle ways I was losing weight. Since July, I've lost 4 inches off of my waist. I dropped 28lbs as of this week (220lbs to 191.7lbs). Yesterday, I squealed when I realized that my back fat was gone. I still don't feel it in my clothes, but I do feel it in my karate outfit. It's not as snug around my waist anymore. I wanted to share my progress, but I also want the people in my life to notice it before I ever say anything to them. I also don't like to tell people I'm going to do something like lose weight and then fail. I'll still be held accountable (if that makes any sense?). The weight is coming off much slower than last time. Maybe it's because I'm older and due to the holidays. I hope I can keep it off this time. [link] [comments] |
| [Advice] Unexpected +50 kg followed by Plateau Posted: 16 Nov 2020 08:16 PM PST Hi, This post is about my girlfriend and some questions about her process. HISTORY She has always been normal weight at around 50-60 kg and about 1.6 m tall. However about 3 years ago when she was about 19 years old, without any changes in lifestyle or habits, she gained about 45-50 kg in the span of 10-12 months and lost her periods. She didn't know where this was coming from and it affected her self esteem a lot. In response she had several doctors appointments and no one thought much of it until she became emotional and then did some tests on her and found nothing abnormal. At some point they saw slightly elevated testosterone and when re-tested its was normal. They said nothing was wrong, no PCOS or similar, but still prescribed her some birth control pills to evaluate. When she used them she had her periods, less body hair growth and lost about 10 kg. Not much happened after that point weight wise, but she stopped gaining weight as prior. She is still prescribed the pills but will not be having a follow-up since nothing was shown and the pills worked for the time being. The dose was however lowered over time. CURRENT SITUATION I've been helping her with training and diet plan, taking a step at a time developing sustainable habits. At most she weighted about 100 kg and it stopped when she started with the birth control (estrogen) and also lost about 10 kg. She lost about 20 kg after being on a caloric deficit and training over the span of 10-12 months and it has been maintained without issue for some time. The problem is that she isn't losing beyond this stage, plateau for about +10 months on 74-76 kg. At the moment she is burning about 500 per day from cardio and eating 1000 calories. We have tried being on a caloric intake of 800 calories as an experiment, 1000-1200 calories and 1500 calories with the calculated TDEE being 1800. Figured it might be related to metabolic adaptation and added some regular diet breaks and even longer refeeds on 1700-2000 calories. Nothing happend even at this point. The only thing we have noticed is that she is maintaining her weight on a ~1000 caloric intake and 500 calories burned daily, changes to this balance and she gains weight quick. I do not want to suggest anything that is not sustainable, like striving below 1000 calories (IMO that is even below minimum) or doing crash diets, especially for someone training and having an active lifestyle. There is no rush and she wants to be able to maintain the changes. She Isn't that bothered because she likes to do cardio and exercise, have fun cooking and planning meals. But we can't figure what to do at this point for further progression. I'm starting to wonder if its related to pathology, hormonal issues that were never really followed-up. We did a complete blood work panel on our own where everything looked normal and within range like liver, kidneys, blood values, minerals, T4, T3 and much more. We didn't however have access to check for prolactin, testosterone and estrogen at the point. The only notice is that doctor did adapt / lower the estrogen dose over time. How do we proceed from here? Thankful for input. [link] [comments] |
| Trouble losing on Mood Stabilizers Posted: 17 Nov 2020 12:15 AM PST Not sure if any of you have been on Mood Stabilisers, or meds for bipolar/ In short, am Epileptic. For my type of Epilepsy, I have to take 700mgs Sodium Valpro (Epilim or Depakote) . For the first year, I was fine, weight was stable but I got headaches and was shaky, eventually this lowered and in the 2nd year, I began gradually gaining weight. About a kilo a fortnight, I've gained over 20lbs just this year (Despite eating the same diet since I have always) Spoken to my PDoc about finding a weight-neutral med, she tells me that only Epilim will control my Seizures, and that it's an unfortunate sacrifice to remain Seizure-free. So, I'm stuck in a Limbo where I must choose between Seizures or being fat, and I feel like shit because I have not much control. It's one of the drugs that messes with metabolism, bc eating veggies and exercising only sheds about half a pound. I'm just losing hope a bit, here [link] [comments] |
| I feel really good about my first work out Posted: 16 Nov 2020 07:38 PM PST I did my very first work out today with my personal trainer over a zoom call. My trainer showed me how to do all the exercises and then he let me do them by myself and then afterward we called again to do stretches. I didn't make it through the work out because I got nauseous and light headed but I almost made it and I did my best. Now I'm feeling really good and proud of myself and I'm feeling like this could actually work out. When I tried to work out by myself a few months ago I felt really discouraged after and like I never wanted to do it again and like it was way too hard. But with my trainer there to show me how to do everything and support me and tell me I did a great job I feel so much better about it. Right now I'm feeling like this could be something I actually do regularly. And I ate healthy foods all day and I feel really good and energized. And I'm not even hungry. I feel like I could actually do this for once. [link] [comments] |

| How to stay true to your goals if another lockdown ensues Posted: 16 Nov 2020 12:38 PM PST It looks like cities around the US and other countries are starting to go into lockdown again. So if gyms in your area close, do not panic. Hoping this thread will be a combination of different tips, perspectives and advice! Here's mine.
Hope this helps anyone who is worried about going into lockdown again. My PM's are open to anyone who wants to talk! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 11:55 PM PST Howdy y'all. So I started running and trying to lose weight back in mid-March just before the NZ lockdown kicked in, mainly as a reason to get out of bed. I started at around 96kg (~212lbs) (M,25,6'3"), and by around July time I was down at 80kg (~176lbs). My original goal was to try and get down to 75kg, but at the time I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep it up, as things were going back to normal and my diet and exercise pattern started to slip. Within the past couple of months or so I've noticed the weight coming back on, to being just shy of 86kg, and my fitness has dropped to where I struggle running 3km. My first goal is to try and get down to at least 80 again before the end of the year, and then try and make the push to 75, hopefully at some point next year, though that'll be much more difficult. I'm fortunate that my best friend is supportive and offers advice/guidance, though it can be a bit rough with others telling me to stop where I am now. I guess this is more of a thing for me to keep myself going and hold myself accountable to, something I can come back to later and check to see how things have gone. [link] [comments] |

| Would honestly like some feed back. Going into this blind for a bit Posted: 16 Nov 2020 07:45 PM PST So I'm having s bit of a issue. I'm currently hovering the 202/198 pound range but it seems I'm pretty much stuck there. My current goal is 180 but long term would be 160/150. I'm 22, Male, 5-11. Since I'm in college (and covid) i do live a pretty sedentary life but I do walk/jog atleast 1 hour a day, every day and I'm implementing a short 10 minute boxing routine every 2 hours to get my heart rate up. I'm also combining a 18 hour fasting period with 2 a low card, low sugar meals. My question is, is what I'm doing helping me at all? Is not what should I change? And if It I'd helping then do you think my goal of 160 pound could be reach by may? Many thanks upfront! [link] [comments] |
| F:24 CW:212 ST:230 GW:180 Struggling with motivation and keeping a routine. Any guidance? Posted: 16 Nov 2020 07:38 PM PST Hey all, I am new to this thread. Last February, I was at my heaviest of around 230, I knew I had to change since some of my family members who have similar patterns of eating as me are beginning to have serious health issues. So I begun my journey with getting a nutritionist, which helped me immensely at the beginning with portion control and eating a balanced diet. I ended up ending it since my husband and myself enjoy meal prepping, so we can very easily begin to eat the same thing day in and day out. Excersize wise, I stopped doing CrossFit cause of COVID and gyms shutting down, so I started the couch to 5k, and while I was successful in completing the 8 weeks, it wasn't for me since my joints and body always hurt, even after investing in shoes, while also dealing with arthritis. So currently I am struggling to stay motivated to workout, I have been using the Fitbod app a lot to get me some good well rounded strength workouts at home, but sticking to it is rough. I am also trying to incorporate more yoga too for breathing, and flexibility. And diet wise, I have transitioned to a plant based diet, but that doesn't always means it's healthy. I am open to some suggestions for how to go from here, I got a good baseline, but just maintaining it has been rough. [link] [comments] |
