| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 03:03 PM PST I'm a 31 year old female. 5'6" and I lost about 40 lbs. it wasn't really easy but it wasn't impossible. I was 180 lbs and now I'm 144 lbs. I started weight watchers (ww) 6/4/18 and I remember thinking something has to work. I thought Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) works for drinking disorders and other people had told me that they have lost weight with so why not? I went to the meetings and I listened. I tried things that I didn't want to, I tried somethings and I ended up liking them. Like foods etc. I really learned something... I learned I wasn't alone. My problems were not unique in any way. They were common problems that many people faced before me and conquered. I remember the feeling that first few weeks of eating better and telling my husband that I wasn't going eat whatever anymore. That was the hard part getting him onboard especially since he is thin and eats whatever. I held my ground and things started to change. His "you are fine the way you are" changed to "babe, you are doing great!" I forget how hard it was in the beginning, those first days and weeks. You know the ones before any results started to show... Remember take the pics, work hard and one day it's gonna be worth it. It takes some time, longer than you want it to. It will be worth it. ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Success: The doctor wrote "nutritional state: slim" into the report! Posted: 09 Nov 2020 12:35 PM PST I had an appointment with a new cardiologist today, unrelated to my weight, just to check on my heartbeat. When I read the report, I was really overwhelmed and happy to see that he had written "not overweight" and "nutritional state: slim". I never considered myself slim, that is so cool! I started one month ago at around 79 kg, I'm 165 cm. After seeing our child's birthday pictures with a quite round and tired, basically old me, I decided that enough is enough, no more stress eating, no more powering through the day with chocolate. At the same time, I started with an antidepressant after a long period of exhausting, instability and frequent fights with my husband. This helped tremendously in stabilizing my mood and took way this horrible, heavy tiredness that made me overeat many times. So now I'm counting calories, trying to stay around 1200. Kale and potatoes are my best friends right now. Volume eating is the real game changer for me. As by today, I weigh 72 kg, finally after many days of plateauing around 73.5 kg (so technically, the doctor is wrong, I am in fact still 4 kg overweight). My goal weight is 65 kg. But if I can reach that only with a lot of force, I'm also pretty happy where I am right now. I do Yoga with Adriene every day and I've become really strong, I even nailed crow pose four days ago! I'm feeling good. I just need to make sure I sleep enough. My husband supports me so much, he's a real great partner and proud of me. The house peace is back and mostly consistent. I no longer avoid being alone with my baby son (it used to exhaust me emotionally so much) and I actually enjoy it. I'm starting to explore freelance writing which I also have avoided because I was afraid to fail (read: not be able to do it perfectly from day 1) even though I have a respectable CV. Most importantly, this is a life lesson for me: I can become good at something through practice. I can change something if I find a way that works for me (and not feel pressure because others do it differently) and commit to it. I can be someone I didn't expect me to be. I can surprise myself. I'm much stronger than I think. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 04:44 AM PST Hello everyone. I am currently once again starting a weight loss journey after failing numerous times before. The other day, my partner said they were losing attraction to me with the weight I was putting on, and I honestly don't blame them. It's time for me to make a change, not for them, but for me. A little about me. I am a 6'5 male, who currently weighs 306 lbs. my goal weight is 206 lbs for a total of 100 lbs weight loss. A big reason I put on weight (IMO) was a death in the family that hit me hard, and hitting the bottle every night after. I'm not quitting alcohol cold turkey, but I will only be drinking on special occasions. I will be exercising daily, and eating better and I really hope I can do this. I will be browsing this sub daily to hear about what everyone is going through and I look forward to making new friends on our journey! [link] [comments] |
| I have anxiety, and I completed a gym workout for the first time! Posted: 09 Nov 2020 09:26 AM PST This sounds so minimal, but I have pretty bad social anxiety and the fact that I walked into my gym today and completed a workout routine (was all over the place, but we're still counting it as an achievement) made me feel so much relief and happiness. I went at 7:30am assuming there wasn't going to be top many people. To my pleasantness, there wasn't way too many people. I started off with a 10 minute warm-up on the treadmill machine and processed downstairs where all the weights were at. I started with the seated leg press at the lightest weight and increased the weight after each set just to see where my starting weight is. After that, I did the pectoral fly (I was starting to get scared cause I didn't know what to do cause I couldn't find the extended leg press without looking like a lost little infant and the ladies at the hip abduction machine kept talking and hogging the machine for what felt like half an hour), Bulgarian split squat (7.5lb dumbbells with shit form so idk if that means I gotta go down to 5lbs), and finally hip abductions when the ladies left. I wanted to try a compound exercise like squats, but I was too intimidated to go to the smith machine where the woman that knew what she was doing was on the other smith machine, and I'm scared to use the regular squat rack cause I don't know if it'd be advisable for me to start off without someone to spot me? Overall, a shitty performance but I tried my best and I completed a strength training gym exercise for the first time in my lifetime. [link] [comments] |
| Sucking at something you've never tried before is natural...including weight-loss. Posted: 09 Nov 2020 03:00 PM PST The first time you ever do anything you're bound to suck at it. Whether it's working out, starting a new job or trying a new hobby. Day 1 will inevitably be the literal worst you are at the thing you're attempting to do. There is no shame in this, anyone who has stepped out of their comfort zone has been there. The important part is to "fail" trying rather than being perfect right out of the gate. This doesn't change for weight loss. You will have screw-ups and set backs and make "rookie" mistakes. The great thing about weight-loss is that you DON'T need to be perfect. You need to have more good days than bad and be willing to invest time to getting better at making less mistakes. There is no quick overnight fix which will make you suddenly into your ideal weight/size. Even if you are literally PERFECT with calorie counting and not once go above your calorie goals it will still take months/years to get to your goal depending on how much you wish to lose. The time will continue to pass regardless. Making a better lifestyle change for yourself and feeling more confident in yourself is wonderful and worth the investment. Like your everyday life there will be good days and there will be bad. Allow a little bit of wiggle room on those bad days. Understand that this journey is just that, a journey. It doesn't just magically end. It just gets easier to manage along the way. Slip-ups, unexpected events will get in the way but learning to cope with them will be a skill set learned along the way. Learn, grow and change. Be open to others who are here to help and be willing to pass forward knowledge you gain onto others who ask. Someone's "secret" to their weight loss might be the key to another's success while yours may be entirely different. At the end of the day we're all here for the same major goal. To better ourselves. We all have different finish lines and no ones is less important. Whether its someone looking to lose 5lbs or someone whose looking to lose 500lbs. [link] [comments] |
| How do you make the choice not to eat every minute of every day? Posted: 09 Nov 2020 12:02 PM PST I have lost some weight but I fell off the wagon and am trying to get back on but it has been very difficult. It feels like I have to actively decide not to eat all the time. Even though I have healthy food with calories counted at home I think but what about this food I could order from outside? Or if I eat at home I eat way too much. It seems like I'm not making the choice not to eat once and then sticking with it but I have to keep making that choice every day sometimes multiple times a day. Is it just because I'm at the beginning of my journey and it's not a habit yet? Do other people make the choice not to eat every day? Isn't that so tiring how do you do it? [link] [comments] |
| M 5'11" SW: 215 GW: 165 CW: 165 Feelin' pretty good about myself right now Posted: 09 Nov 2020 12:02 PM PST As of this morning, I have achieved my goal weight! A few years ago, I was reasonably fit (175 lbs) and I rode my bicycle on a 4360 mile solo trip across America. The thing is, while I was on the road, my choice of cuisine was often whatever the local convenience store had to offer, i.e. not much in the way of healthy fare. I didn't mind because whatever calories I was eating, I quickly burned off the next day because I was pedaling for hours. However, when I got home, I didn't really break those eating habits and was taking in way more calories than I was burning. I gained a bunch of weight going up to 215. I made a new Year's Resolution and have stuck to it since January 1st. I counted calories with MyFitnessPal (tried to stay at around 1500 per day) which really worked for me because I can get pretty competitive and the calories were like a score in a game. If my calories went into the red, I wanted to exercise to "win" the MyFitnessPal game I was playing. Also, I mainly focused on staying under my limit for the week, not the day. So I could go out with my buddies (in the before time when we could go out) and throw back a few beers and wings without feeling like I was a failure in the MyFitnessPal game because the calories burned in the pickup basketball I played two days earlier made up for it. That was the mindset that helped keep me from getting down on myself and throwing in the towel. I try to bike everyday for both my mental and physical health. I'm not a nut about it, like I don't care if I'm going fast or not. I just go out there to enjoy beautiful weather and listen to entertaining/edifying podcasts. So I'm exercising, but at no time do I feel like I'm doing something arduous. Quite the opposite. It's relaxing and a 100% enjoyable form of exercise for me. Plus, I got some thighs that I'm not ashamed to say are pretty solid. The other big hack that worked for me was chugging water. If I was hungry, I would eat something small (my typical breakfast for instance would be a clementine or half a banana) and then chug 16-32 ounces of water. I've always been a water chugger so this is not hard for me. The sudden influx of the water into my stomach gives me that I'm-stuffed feeling like I'd just had Thanksgiving dinner, so it tamps down my desire to eat. For the last month or so, I haven't even needed to count calories and I'm still losing because I think I've developed a pretty stable and healthy food routine: fruit for breakfast with a good old water chug, black coffee and water while I work (pretty sedentary these days, just sitting at my laptop), lunch is usually the other half of the banana or a sandwich and another good old chug of water, then a nice bike ride after work, and my dinners are always paired with a good old chug so I don't really crave big portions, plus, not gonna lie, I do like a couple glasses of wine to pair with my netflix after dinner. I feel as though I'm not "struggling" with staying healthy, but rather that it is just a natural part of my lifestyle now. Of course this is just what has worked for me and everyone is different. We all have to figure out what clicks for us personally. Hopefully someone out there shares a brain that is as weird as mine and these tips will be helpful, but for sure big high fives to anyone out there trying to treat their bodies well. Whether you're a world class athlete or on your first day of a new fitness plan, you're doing the right thing for yourself and your family. Anyway, I'm feeling like a champ and I just finished my work for the day, so I'm going on a bike ride! Josh and Chuck, I hope you have some cool stuff to tell me about while I burn those calories!

| how did you finally get in the right headspace to lose the weight? Posted: 09 Nov 2020 06:33 PM PST I fucked up today. Really bad. For example today I had vegan burrito. egg biscuit. apple scone. yogurt parfait asian noodle stirfry. grapes and cheese. two sugar cookies chicken sandwich. fries. two sugar cookies cereal. pudding. two chocolate chip cookies. sugar wafers I never used to eat like this in high school. I was a pretty healthy person, 110 at 5'4/5'5F. Now I'm a 19f whos about 145 thanks to binge eating. How did you guys finally come over this? It feels like all I do is eat. I hate myself so much and I'm at a low point right now. On top of that, i'm lactose intolerant, so I'm not even supposed to be eating this much food anyways. I fucked up on friday, saturday, sunday, and now monday. I just need some healthy tips I can stick too. i also need some motivational advice. I know what to do, but my bodys cravings just urge me to binge eat. [link] [comments] |
| Non scale victory - I went to the gym for the first time since my severe ankle fracture Posted: 09 Nov 2020 11:07 PM PST Earlier this year when COVID struck I started exercising and dieting. I ran 4 times a week, long hikes every weekend and really enjoyed exercising. After a short but nasty fall while bouldering I ended up snapping my tibula and fibula as well as dislocating my ankle. I was non-weight bearing for 16 weeks and on crutches for an additional 6. This happens at the very end of June, and as a result I lost most of my ankle strength and ankle flexibility. I focused on eating what ever I wanted to not impede my healing what so ever and slowly introduced walking every morning (roughly 2.5km/day). Today was my second time at the gym this week! While I cannot run at this stage, or for many many more months, I have finally regained enough mentality and motivation to once again go to the gym as part of my diet. I am doing 30 min on the eleptical and some strength. Slowly but surely I will climb forward in fitness even though I have reduced mobility! Other victory: my clothes fit better now than they did pre-injury! [link] [comments] |
| What is something that you hate about the American food industry? Posted: 09 Nov 2020 06:09 PM PST I feel everyone truly wants to be their best selves. We constantly try to lose weight but then every where you go there's something to knock you off track. We want to blame ourselves but there's so many reminders to the foods we LOVE but also want to STAY AWAY from. They tell us that we are getting bigger and bigger but yet they make no changes in the food industry to help US. Just tell us to eat less and work out more. Like they don't see the problem within our food! So seriously what's an obstacle that you guys see about our food? What do you wish could change or get rid of? Or just hate? [link] [comments] |

| How do you lose weight in a toxic family environment? Posted: 09 Nov 2020 04:06 PM PST Im a 22 yr old female. I live with my dad and he is very negative and he wants me to lose weight the way he wants me to (low carb diet or intermittent fasting) . And when I do it his way I always fail in the end. He has no confidence in me and he tells me I'm not trying hard enough. I do everything he asks and it is still not enough. So, I tried looking for more sustainable methods of weight loss. I looked into getting a scale to weight out my options so I can learn portion control and calorie counting. He hasnt been supportive and as soon as I mentioned what I wanted to do for my weight loss he told me I'm going to fail before i even started my new method and I did. If I dont lose weight the way he wants he either completely ignores or harasses me daily about how much weight I'm losing or if I'm sticking to my diet. It is hard to do with someone breathing down your neck daily. And to be taunted telling I'm going to fail and I should just do what he asks of me. If you've been this situation before and lost weight, how did you do it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 04:13 PM PST Imagine walking into the doctors office and you already know you're going to get "the talk." No not the one your parents give you when you're a teen, the one where the doctor tells you you're obese, and that you have to start blood pressure, and cholesterol medications. Well for the past year of struggling to lose weight that's been me, a 23yo male, that for my own good I cant seem to just stick with it. I don't really know where to turn, or who to ask, or what I want to ask. I want to try and be consistent with this journey. It sucks waking up every morning having to take fucking 6 medications in total. When I was a kid I played soccer and did martial arts and to see what I've become hurts every single day. I'm 23, I weigh 331lbs, my goal is to lose 185. How am I going to do it? I have no clue, besides eat right and exercise. Any help is appreciated and if anyone would like to become accountability buddies that would also be awesome. Thank you to anyone who gives this post the light of day. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 06:33 PM PST SW 180 lbs, CW 150 lbs, 5"4' I had picked 150 as my goal weight because I remember that's what I weighed for a long time. It took me six months to lose just 30 lbs. But I was patient, because I knew it was important to do this the right way, in a way that is sustainable. But now I'm here at my first goal and I see what 30 lbs of weight loss looks like, and it's very disappointing. I feel like I look exactly the same as I did at 180. People do notice and comment on my weight loss, but to me all I can see is my big old belly and my love handles. Even in my progress pics I can barely tell the difference. It feels like I will never look skinny. It feels like my belly fat is a permanent part of my body, like an arm or a leg. I can't even imagine it not being there. Has anyone been through something similar? How did you deal with knowing that the journey is going to be a whole lot longer than you thought it would be? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 07:12 AM PST 5'6" 29 year old female. My starting weight 2 years ago was 175lbs and I got all the way down to 139lbs before the pandemic. Today, after getting laid off at my job in May, I am back up to 158lbs. There were a lot of big changes in my life after I got laid off. My husband and I moved to a new state for a fresh start, and we bought our first home. The bulk of my weight gain happened the last two months. I started to question what I was going to do with my life which spiraled me into a depression. Then, I got Covid and luckily only suffered symptoms treatable at home with a lot of rest. Even with mild symptoms, it kicked my butt. After I recovered, I would sleep till 11am or noon, eat fast food, and be too tired to cook a healthy meal for dinner so my husband and I would just grab some unhealthy Chinese food from down the road. I stopped cleaning the house, I stopped my skincare routine, I stopped crafting, and I stopped showering daily. (Gross I know I'm sorry) I don't get to talk to anyone here in my new area because 1. I'm stuck inside because pandemic, and 2. I don't know anyone yet. Yesterday, I was eating and I made my stomach sick because I ate way too much. That's when i realized my food addiction came back with a vengeance. Well I'm taking back control! I got up at 8 this morning and I prepped a heathy meal for dinner, I pulled out the mini trampoline and did a 15 minute cardio workout (which kicked my butt), I got a nice long shower, drank lots of water, and now I'm going to go to the grocery store to get food that I WILL cook at home! I am going to go to college for Computer Science, as soon as my residency changes states. I knew for a long time that my previous job was toxic. I won't go into it because this is already longer than I intended. Seeing that I'm going the right way has made me feel better than I have in weeks. I'm ready guys! Let's do this! My goal weight is 135lbs but I'll be happy with 140lbs if I'm in better shape. If anyone needs a pandemic buddy to talk to, just send me a dm. I hope you're all staying safe and taking good care of yourself. [link] [comments] |
| overcoming binge eating.. is it even possible? Posted: 09 Nov 2020 08:45 PM PST I don't know if it's my mindset or like a legit problem, but I literally can not stop binging. I feel absolutely disgusted with myself. I'm trying my best to lose weight before my wedding in June (short-term goal, my long term is for a healthier life) But it's like I can't make the commitment to myself. Idk if it's like the pressure of trying to look good in my dress, the stress of planning a wedding, or self-doubt.. maybe all three. How do you overcome binge eating? Or even mindless eating.. sometimes I don't realize when I'm mindlessly eating. Is there a natural appetite suppressant or something? [link] [comments] |

| I want to see how ya'll are feeling about Thanksgiving Posted: 09 Nov 2020 11:44 PM PST I'm a 22 F, SW: 224.6 CW: 204.4, GW:??? So I've been doing much better with my weight loss than in the past in the sense that it's been much easier on me mentally and I'm on an 80 day streak! Normally I stay at about 1500 a day, but I try not to beat myself up if I go over every once in a while. And with this mentality I've lost 20 lbs so far! But I can already feel myself getting anxious about Thanksgiving. I've been "good" for a while now and have fought cravings/urge to eat in excess. But with Thanksgiving coming up I'm torn. I'm terrified of the potential weight gain but I don't want to ruin (for myself) what's supposed to be a very special occasion by spending the whole day obsessing about calories. I'm thinking of maybe cutting back my daily calories the week in advance (to 1200) to compensate for the big day and the leftovers that will follow. How are ya'll dealing mentally/physically?

| Posted: 09 Nov 2020 07:26 PM PST When I was younger I was always overweight. This was because frankly I just ate a lot as a kid. However when I was 15 I went on a charity trip to Tanzenia and being there, active and only on a diet of rice and beans for 2 weeks helped me lose 5kg. I then focussed on a crazy diet where I would only have a small amount of food for breakfast and lunch and then eat dinner as normal. This led me losing another 15kg making my weight to 80kg. However due to the outbreak and being stuck at home I've just been eating. To tell you the truth when I went my decline happened when I went to uni, I just stopped a lot of sports and ate junk while working. I went from a weight of 80kg to 95kg in 2 and a half years. Then when covid began I went from 95kg to 115kg. I never thought that it was a problem until a saw a video of myself and realised how big I've become. I know I have to diet and exercise but I honestly don't know where to begin. Can someone give me some diet and exercise techniques? [link] [comments] |
| I need some advice. How do I go about doing this? Posted: 09 Nov 2020 09:36 PM PST I am about 190 lbs and a 19M. I have some rather serious self-image issues and have decided to finally get off my ass and do something about it. I am a college student, but for a lot of reasons, covid, embarrassment, etc, I can't go to the gym often if at all. I have heard/read that weight loss is 80% diet, so if I can modify my diet, I can lose weight right? I am a vegan, so I don't have a lot of meat (I still get protein in the form of beans and tofu basically). Here is a breakdown of what I eat during the week: Monday - Rice, Lettuce, Tofu, Mushrooms, Korean BBQ sauce Tuesday - White rice, refried beans or occasionally black beans, vegan beef crumbles, onions Wednesday - Rice, Lettuce, Tofu, Mushrooms, Korean BBQ sauce Thursday - White rice, refried beans or occasionally black beans, vegan beef crumbles, onions Friday - Rice, Lettuce, Green onions, Mushrooms, Korean BBQ sauce Saturday - Varies a lot depending on what my dorm offers. Usually some form of tofu Sunday - Varies a lot depending on what my dorm offers. Usually some form of vegan fajitas. I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch and don't eat breakfast (a nutrionist advised I start eating like an apple or oatmeal and I intend to start doing that). I am going home for break and have 3 months. My ideal would be to lose enough belly fat to make abs visible, but I understand that that may not be possible in that time frame. I would like to achieve that goal asap. What do I do from here? [link] [comments] |
| For those having trouble logging on the LoseIt app Posted: 09 Nov 2020 03:51 PM PST Sorry if this has already been posted. If you use the LoseIt app to log calories and weight, you can't log anything with decimal points on their app until their next update is released. Decimal Point Bugs with iOS Lose It! 12.6.300 Starting Friday, November 6th, 2020, the Lose It! iOS app contains an issue when trying to save data using decimal points in weight logs and food creation. Workaround: For now, the two workarounds for this problem include: Log the value of your weight or food item by rounding to the nearest integer; if your weight was 190.2, log 190 for the time being. Use Loseit.com from a web browser to log items with decimals. You will be able to log your weight as 190.2 without having to round.

| A negative non scale “victory” Posted: 09 Nov 2020 12:46 PM PST TRIGGER WARNING-non consensual touching So yeah I hesitate to call this a "victory" but I was talking to my friend about this experience and she said a similar thing that made me want to write this out and process it here. So here's the story: I went to visit my cousins, who were also wanting to try to set me up with one of their friends, we'll cal him Greg. Now some of my cousins other friends were also at this gathering and one of them who I'll call Ben was also there. Ben is an old friend of theirs he's also in his 20s and I've seen him around family gatherings from time to time and have had actual conversations with him and played board games w him and my cousins last Christmas. Now I have lost another 30 or so pounds since he last saw me but he did NOT recognize me bc he tried to introduce himself as if we'd never met. I corrected him and reminded him of when we'd met and it was just kind of funny to me. Then throughout the night as I'm trying to get to know Gregg and hang w my cousins, Ben is all over me. At first I thought he was just acting normal-like maybe he can be a bit overly flirty, but then it kept escalating. He kept sitting so that some part of him was always touching me-I as NOT a touchy person so I was super uncomfortable. And he kept saying weird creeper things to me and started grabbing my waist and brushing his hand over my butt and legs. I was very drunk-we all were pretty drunk that night so I literally couldn't think clearly enough to get out of the situation at that point other than to keep scooting over to my cousin to try to get away. Luckily that's all that happened bc then it was over and he left-I told my cousins what had been happening and they were horrified of course but I'm posting this on here bc this is not a problem I've ever had to deal with. And it was super uncomfortable. But there's this horrible tiny voice in my head that's like oh wow we're skinny enough for these things to happen. I was talking to a friend about this and she felt a similar way about getting cat called. It makes her feel weird but the attention is nice. Being a woman with body and self image issues can really screw up your view of things and the world and your place in it. [link] [comments] |
