| A woman who helped me up 2 months ago when I (F17) fell on a run noticed my weight loss Posted: 21 Nov 2020 07:29 AM PST I went on a run in September and I'm the clumsiest person ever and happened to fall because it had been raining. The loveliest women helped me up and asked about my goals and why I was running in miserable English weather. I told her I was trying to lose weight and after I got my breath back we said our goodbyes. Today, I went for a run and I saw the same woman after I had finished and she was shocked to see how much weight I lost. I felt like bursting into tears because I've had such a horrible week in relation to others not recognising my weight loss. (see my page for more context if you want). It's just the best feeling when people recognise your efforts! Keep at it everyone, it will pay off!! Edit: Thank you for the awards! :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Nov 2020 03:07 AM PST I LOST FIFTEEN MUTHAFUCKIN KILOS Y'ALL!!!! Went from 81 to 64.8 (weighed in this morning!) Didn't expect a good number today because I drank and baked cookies and ate a luxurious meal with a friend, but it happened!!! I hit my first goal weight! I saw it happen, and somehow still didn't expect this. BMI is just over 23, but I'm trying to get it to 22, so next goal is 60 kilos. But I did 15, 5 more is nbd (I hope, hahah). It's taken me a little over a year, and progress has been slow, and 15 kilos isn't thaaaat much, I know, but I'm still really proud of how much fitter I am today than in August 2019. I only seriously started counting calories and working out in Jan 2020, and watching the graph on MFP go steadily lower has been a great joy in my life. How I've been doing it:
Edit: Oh hey, awards! I didn't expect these, thanks folks. Just wanted to clarify on some concerns some of you have raised: When I started my weight loss journey, I consulted my doctor, and we made this plan together. I check in with her every month, and I talk to my therapist regularly about not becoming obsessed with calorie counting or losing weight. When I started out, I really wanted to make sure I wasn't harming myself, so I looked into these concerns. But I truly do appreciate that y'all are looking out for one another (and me) on this sub.

| From 318 in August to 271 as of today. I feel super duper happy and inspired! Posted: 21 Nov 2020 11:20 PM PST I might as well just come out and be brave about it. Back in August, I weighed 318lbs at the doctors office. Not only that, but my blood sugar was higher than ever, meaning I was dangerously close to becoming diabetic. Then there was my cholesterol and potential liver disease from it. I also have PCOS (duh) so I don't get my periods. So yeah, it's been hard but I started doing fasting even though it went every little excuse I made for myself. It got even more rough when I sprained my ankle, got ghosted by my ex asshole - yet again - and 2020 has been a fucking hell of a year in regards to family but anyways.... Uhh I started walking again. I even bought some 5 pound weights. I do incorporate some running with my walking to make HIIT. My ankle still hasn't healed 100% (so I'm going to try to take it easy for now after this week) but I get out there anyway. I can now comfortably fit into my old jeans and it even feels a little bit loose. I've learned not to take slip up's as shameful or me becoming defeated and then slipping back into old habits. I will admit I had cake for my birthday. I had a lot of pizza. I had some honey BBQ wings, white pasta and Mac and cheese. BUT on the other hand I've had fish, asparagus, zucchini, some squash and broccoli. I ate a sandwich with no bun. I've had coffee with only half & half or plain (I did give myself pumpkin spice once tho), I did as much fasting as I could during the week even if only 13-16 hours. I drank LOTS of water, I went for walks and I've managed to maintain and lose thanks to fasting. Incorporating exercise, however, and drinking water with electrolytes has been a godsend. I'm almost to the 50lb loss mark and I'm super excited. So far: - It's no longer tiring or exhausting for me to walk like it was when I was 318 pounds. - My resting heart rate when from high 70s-upper 90s to mid 50s - upper 70s - I feel more confident and okay with myself - The sandals I bought in July now aren't a hassle to zip up. - Obviously my clothes feel loose. - I can easily shop for bras now. Some of the ones I bought months ago that felt too tight are still a little bit tight but I surely feel waaaay more comfortable in them than before - My blood sugar isn't going crazy. - I've been avoiding take out. - I've been able to have my moments of eating cookies, pizza and whatnot in moderation. Now I know I can have these things and it's okay to do so sometimes — not all the time, but just a few moments. - I'm close to being the lowest I've been in years, and I hope to keep continuing down that path. I found exercise really does seem to be key for me in expediting weight loss, probably cause my dad was quite athletic so maybe it's a gene thing? Who knows... but now I've seen what works for me and I do keep my metabolism guessing so I guess it's a good thing I do allow myself to eat junk so long as I control my portions and whatnot. I even had a banana this week! I was able to taste the sugar in it big time but it made for a good treat. I'm still a long ways away from one-derland but I'm one pound closer with every pound I drop. Yes I love my scale and my Fitbit. I'm glad I was fearless enough to buy a home scale and weigh myself back in July. It pretty much started my entire journey. I do have another three months before I'm set to go in to the doctors and get my blood sugar and blood levels checked out again. I also had high platelet count which freaks me out so hopefully that's managed to correct itself too. Female: 5'7" SW: 315 HW: 318 CW: 271 GW: 260! I like to break up my weight loss goals into small little dragons... so far, I've conquered 300, 285 and now 270 (almost there!) [link] [comments] |
| Anyone else scared of losing weight because of the attention it'll bring from men? Posted: 21 Nov 2020 04:23 PM PST I've been consistent with my diet and exercise routine for a while now and this makes me excited, but at the same time nervous. I'm starting to see changes in my body which is awesome, but I've realized that this is serious now and other people will also notice my body. I don't mind it when family, friends and female acquaintances notice... actually it motivates me to keep going. But I'm scared of the eventual male attention my weight loss will bring. I've been overweight/obese my whole life, and when it comes to guys, I've either been mocked for the way I looked (until high school), or ignored. Some guys wouldn't even want to talk to me because they felt embarrassed to be seen with me. I've had many thin female friends and most of them (if not all) have experienced being catcalled, hit on by a creepy guy, or have even been followed by one or many men. I'm really scared that it'll happen to me because I won't know what to do at all. I keep up with my diet/exercise anyway because at the end of the day I want to feel pretty and be strong/fit for myself. But as an introverted and rather anxious woman, I'm scared it'll bring me more anxiety than anything else. But I don't want to stay big. It's very conflicting. Does anyone else feel that way, or used to feel that way? I'd really like to hear some advice or ways to cope with this. :( I don't want to care about what guys think of my body. [link] [comments] |
| Went out for a run and got support? Posted: 21 Nov 2020 09:47 PM PST I'm 20M, 5"9 about 165 pounds, gained a lot of fat and was warned that I was on my way to obesity if I don't get my eating habits under control so I went on a diet and mostly did my workouts at home doing calisthenics and cardio for about a couple months and I decided to go for a run for the first time on my diet and decided to go for a mile without stopping I put on my sweater and headband and went at it I was sprinting to the mile and someone honked their horn at me behind me I looked over my shoulder and he yelled "HEY MAN! LETS FUCKING GO!!" and drove off, I was like "lmao wtf?! 😂" it caught me off guard and made my run sloppy for a few seconds but I kept going then about 5 mins later another guy honked his horn and yelled "KEEP GOING MAN DON'T STOP!" I just waved and smiled it was really bizarre but I'm glad I got support from strangers I guess haha I managed to run a mile without stopping successfully and I'm exhausted but proud, my goal is to gain a good looking muscular body by summertime hopefully if I stay consistent I'll achieve that goal or at the very least look slimmer [link] [comments] |
| My mom is actively trying to impede my weight loss Posted: 21 Nov 2020 11:13 PM PST Hi everyone. Recently my mother and I have started to try to lose weight. My primary goal was fitness and health and my mother's was aesthetics(she wanted to have a better looking body).right from the beginning my father was super supportive of my mom but didn't treat me the same because he said I was too young to lose weight. I'm 16, terribly unfit and overweight so I don't think it's too early or dangerous to want to lose weight for health. Anyways my dad did things like cook different meals for my mom because she told him she wanted to. On the other hand my dad piled food on my plate because I was apparently stick thin and desperately needed to gain weight, a sentiment my mother completely agreed with and talked about a lot. I eventually gave up fighting against that and just cooked my own food which was healthy and portioned correctly. Using this and exercise I soon began to lose weight and get results. My mom got results too by eating way less but it was slow. She seemed a bit annoyed when I told her about my progress. Following that she began to openly talk about our weight loss. For instance one night at dinner she looked at me and asked if I should be eating that pasta because it's high in carbs. Then she began talking about how her weight went down 5 pounds and she had less flab on her thighs. I told her I could see a difference, and she replied with "sorry I can't say the same for you." Because of this happening so often I was really tired of her and just ignored the topic whenever I could. Then she started to get very involved in my eating. She forbade me from making my own lunch, saying that I might burn or cut myself and forced me to eat what she wanted me to eat. For example she would make a small plate of veggies/healthy stuff for herself and tell my dad to go buy In n out for me for "convenience." And sometimes what really irritated me was that she would say "I'm not losing the fat I want to, I so wish I could give you all of my fat" a lot. I did gain some weight back because of her making me eat more seemed to make her happy. She said she was trying to help me because "You're still growing and you need all the calories." Which makes no sense because I stopped growing a long time ago. Also this is turning into a rant but oh well. She and I are the same height(5'1) and same build. It's really easy to compare our bodies is what I'm saying. So when she got a flat stomach(her main goal) it was really obvious next to me. My mom took joy from this and bragged about it comparing it my pudgy stomach, which I literally lost and got back when she made me eat so much. Literally idk what to do ugh [link] [comments] |
| how to lose weight without disappointing my mom ? Posted: 21 Nov 2020 11:16 PM PST so a bit of background here, i am a teen who still lives with her mom, and i have just recovered from an eating disorder. and so to celebrate my recovery we ate lots of food. well that's how it's always been. whenever we had problems we would always eat food as an escape and to fill that emptiness. but it has been a bad habit since we were just constantly eating, and i mean constantly, i mean every hour we would eat. and like most of us, we were taught as kids not to waste food. so that means eating everything at your plate till its clean. it has caused me to become overweight since i was a kid and caused me serious self esteem issues. then eventually developing an eating disorder for about 3 years. i just recovered september of this year. my relationship with food is currently pretty crap since i still have that "finish everything in your plate" mentality and i am working on it. so the problem is, my mom being the absolute food lover that she is, would be upset with me if i wouldn't go out with her to eat because i'm not hungry at that time or if i didn't finish my food cuz i'm satisfied. i think it's because she thinks i'm returning to my old ed habits whenever i do that. which i am not obviously, i'm learning to listen to my body's cues again. so as to not make her upset i would go out to eat with her everytime and finish everything in my plate. and as a result i have gained a lot of weight, i am about 2 kilograms of being overweight. i really don't enjoy it since i like to walk and jog without the excess weight and stretching ain't really comfortable being like this. i would really appreciate any tips and suggestions from you guys !! hope y'all stay safe and happy losing !!

| Can't wear my aspirational wardrobe! Posted: 21 Nov 2020 09:33 AM PST You know how most of us have an "aspirational" wardrobe, which is just a bunch of clothes for when we lose only a few more pounds? Well, this beautiful handmade kurta (basically an Indian enthic wear) found itself in the aspirational corner when I gained a few pounds within weeks after purchasing. It was just a little tight and surely I could get into it in a few weeks? That was 3 years ago. Today, at roughly 25 pounds lighter, I tried it on in the hopes that maybe it would finally fit me. And guess what? It still didn't! It was so loose and baggy in so many places that I would need at least a couple of pins to look presentable! I can't stop grinning! I'm just a bit over halfway done, and it's been a long long road (much longer than I'd have hoped for, quite honestly) but it has started feeling like it has been worth it. To everyone struggling with never ending plateaus, just keep at it! Don't give up now, you've come a long way since you started and giving up would just undo all your hard work! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 21 Nov 2020 07:15 PM PST M/18/ 5'8 Weight: 150 So I had been overweight since I was 8. After countless times of attempting to lose weight finally I did. But no one tells you about the aftermath mentally and physically. When I see my body in the mirror most days I see that 240 pound kid who just desperately wants to be liked. I see a body that doesn't look like the rest of my friends, I just feel damaged. My skin isn't tight, I have stretch marks in places I don't want them. Yes, I've done an amazing thing by losing 80 pounds, but my body still feels broken. Even after so long I'm too self conscious to go shirtless to the pool, and I still feel like when people look at me they are judging me. Maybe I need therapy, but I didn't think loosing weight would still have me be so unhappy. Yes, I'm grateful that I lost it early, and that I now longer will have server health problems, but aesthetically I still feel inferior. I look good in clothes, but naked no. I'm now on a quest to build muscle, but even then I don't know if my body will ever look how I want it to. To those who are in their weight loss journey, work on your mental health. It's so important and often gets neglected because of the want to be thin, but it's so important to fix the things you think were because of your weight when it actuality it was about your self worth.

| If you struggled with motivation, what finally helped you start your journey and follow through? Posted: 21 Nov 2020 05:50 PM PST I am two years postpartum from my first child, with 30lb of baby weight left to lose. I am struggling so much, and really it's all mental. All that's happened since I started trying to lose weight... is that I gained ten pounds from bingeing. I have been up and down, I will try a new strategy and lose weight, only to find myself bingeing and gaining back even more. I feel depressed, unhappy with myself, unhappy with my life, stressed, lonely and I know food helps me cope. I am both extremely desperate to be healthier, and also completely hell-bent on self-sabotaging and I don't know why. I'm curious, for those of you who might have struggled with getting the motivation to begin a weight loss journey and stick with it, or if you did the rollercoaster thing like I am, what helped you finally commit to making a change? Was there a turning point for you? Or an app, program, or 'diet' that helped you find success? What had the biggest effect on changing your mindset and opening the door for real progress?

| Ate almost double maintenance calories today.. Posted: 21 Nov 2020 03:40 PM PST But I'm back on track tomorrow.. I have been eating slightly under maintenance for the past 2 months (2000/2200) calories a day. Today was my daughters 3rd birthday, and I guess with being stuck in a lockdown with not much to do I've just eaten far too much.. my mother baked us a cake and I may of had a 3 slices of that.. which hasn't helped. Overall I'm about 5100 calories for the day and I feel sickly and really disappointed with myself.. How does everyone cope after such a surplus of calories? I know it's a long game and one day won't matter after all, but it's kinda scary how easily I can eat that much food.. especially knowing I could of eaten more if I really wanted too!

| Working out at night has been game changer (for me) Posted: 21 Nov 2020 08:43 AM PST I gained the dreadful covid 10 on my 5'3 height. I invested in a 1k treadmill. I went on it daily in the morning and after 3 weeks, I gained another 5. I felt defeated and I KNEW exactly why. I was hungry all day after the run. I switched things up and run at 6 pm. Low and behold- I lost 10 pounds in a month of doing that- 5 more pounds until my pre covid weight. I found myself not starving when I work out at night ( Not sure why).. I can easily fall asleep by 11 pm but I know for some it may keep them up. Just sharing this for those who gets insatiable hungry like me if you work out in the morning. [link] [comments] |
| SV: I've lost 5 lbs in maintenance! Also NSV: I'm finally starting to take care of my whole self! Posted: 21 Nov 2020 10:56 AM PST F29, 5'5", SW 230lbs, CW 170lbs It took a year of trying different things and eventually settling in OMAD to lose the first 55 lbs. I decided to take it slow and make some genuine lifestyle changes instead of diving head first into weight loss. I eat so many more vegetables now, it's crazy. About 2 months ago, after plateauing for 3 weeks, I had a serious mental health incident. Afterwards I decided that I needed a break from thinking about my weight loss. I wasn't going to go crazy with it, but if I wanted to eat some pasta or a burger I wasn't going to stop myself. I also took off my step tracker and focused on just getting my mental health back in order. I continued to weigh myself weekly, and typically my weight would fluctuate up and down but with an average of 175 lbs. In the last month though, I've noticed that average very slowly creeping downward. And for the past 2 weeks, the average has been 170! Don't be afraid to take a break sometimes. I'm not quite ready to start focusing on loss again but I'm getting there, and this break has been exactly what I needed to get my priorities straight. Weight loss isn't everything. Health needs to be what you focus on, and mental health is a huge part of that. Take care of yourself, all of yourself, and the weight loss will just be a fun side effect. [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 21 Posted: 21 Nov 2020 03:25 PM PST Hello losers, I hope your weekend is going well! Stay within calorie range (maintain): On target today. Smoked salmon is perhaps the protein of my soul. Exercise 5 days a week: Chilly trail walk this morning plus vigorous cleaning. 15/21 days. Self-care journaling (once a week, 60 minutes): Getting after this one pretty well, including some lists. 3/3 week. Nanowrimo 1666 words a day: 21500/50000 words. It's becoming my routine to really hit it after this post. I'm lagging but still striving! Try a new recipe once a week: Fried parsnips, baba ganoush (different recipe/prep method this time, didn't fuck it up!), a mixed meat chili & a oven toasted vegetable ratatouille so far. 4/4 weeks. Express gratitude: Today I'm grateful for where I've been and where it has gotten me. Sounds abstract but I was looking for something & reviewed some old journal stuff. The path of my life for the last five years has gotten me to such a better place. Even before the weight loss journey started. So I guess I'm grateful for past me making good choices. How are you all? What are you all planning in the US for turkey day? [link] [comments] |

| How to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time? Posted: 21 Nov 2020 10:47 PM PST MALE / 5'9" / Started at 210 pounds, currently at 183 pounds. Hey guys, It's been a while since I visited this subreddit. Firstly, thanks to everyone here for creating such an atmosphere that helps and motivates people to follow their life-long desire of losing weight. I had always thought of losing weight but I couldn't really imagine myself actually having the dedication to do it. I finally started tracking my calories and walking 30 minutes everyday in the beginning of September of this year. I started with 210 pounds in the beginning of September, I'm currently at 183 pounds as of this morning so about 27 pounds in two months and 3ish weeks. I'm losing weight pretty steadily and I'm satisfied with my weight loss so far. As I've lost more weight and started to become leaner, I've been more interested in turning the remaining fat to muscle. I'm still overweight so for this last stretch, I would like to get a bit toner. I tried searching a lot but couldn't find any helpful answers on this. How would I go about doing this and is there any routine that I can follow. I am specifically looking to build more upper body muscle, chest and stomach area. I have some dumbbells and bench press equipment at home. Any tips are much appreciated. Thank you. [link] [comments] |
| NSV- I can zip my regular width boots! F/33 SW: 178 lbs CW:150 lbs Posted: 21 Nov 2020 06:57 AM PST I've been on my weight loss journey for two years now. I struggled with losing weight in the beginning even though I was working out daily, tracking calories, and seeing a dietitian to help me with my habits. Every time I lost a pound I would gain it back within a week. It was devastating. Took a toll on me mentally that no matter what I did my weight was still in the same range 173-178 lbs. Last year I had to go shopping for wide-calf boots because my regular width boots won't zip up. My calves were muscular from all the treadmill inclines I was putting them through but all I could think of they were fat. I hated them. I kept my old boots in my closet hoping that some day they'll fit. Well since COVID hit, I started IF (OMAD) and did more cardio days than weight training. It seems that worked for my body and I started losing weight and keeping it off! -28 lbs in 8 months. This morning I decided to try my regular width boots and see if I could zip them all the way, and I did! They probably need an inch more of room to be more comfortable but I can zip then up! Small victories like these help me keep going. Looking forward to the next one! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Nov 2020 06:11 PM PST Hey guys, I try my best to weigh out the ingredients whenever I make a meal so I can calorie count for MFP, but I've realised that that probably isn't the best way of going about doing things and isn't very accurate. I also usually end up making enough for 2 or 3 people (my sister usually eats what I make). Is it better to make a meal e.g. a stirfy or some chicken, and then to weigh it out and divide it into portions? Is there an easy way of doing this? Like, I usually make whatever in my skillet and then just transfer a portion to my plate. Do you guys weigh out your pans etc? Or do you put everything onto one dish and then weigh it? I know that this is probably a silly question but I hate it once I've made something and I've realised that I've forgotten to weigh out my food lol. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Has anyone has skin removal surgery after weight loss? Posted: 21 Nov 2020 02:41 PM PST I know this has been asked before but the newest post was over a year ago and maybe there are some new responses. I lost about half my body weight. From 120 kg to 60 kg as a 161 cm tall person. Unfortunately my skin is loose and I'm considering going to Prague to do surgeries on my thighs, stomach, breasts and upper arms. I'm wondering what your experiences are with -the surgery in general -plastic surgery in Prague/abroad -recovery (time, pain, etc.) -was it worth it? And anything else you might find relevant. For me the money doesn't make it not worth it but I'm worries about recovery time and how much care I'll need for recovery. [link] [comments] |
| Why can I see my ribs, yet I have stomach fat? Posted: 21 Nov 2020 11:12 PM PST I lost around 30 pounds and have been maintaining for about 4 months now. I want to lose more weight though because I've become more unhappy about how I look now, mainly in regards to my stomach fat. I feel like there's so much of it but I'm not sure why. These are my stats: I have a 26 inch waist and 36 inch hips, 5 foot, 115 pounds and I'm 20. I can see my ribs when I lift my arms or tense up, and it actually kind of creeps me out. However I still have like a ton of stomach fat and I know you can't spot reduce but I'm not sure what to do? I've tried losing weight but I don't know if losing more will do anything, I tried intermittent fasting thinking it was bloating, and I started lifting weights but nothing has changed. Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of that stomach fat without looking like a skeleton, becuase I don't want really prominent ribs or anything like that. [link] [comments] |
| PAY ATTENTION TO THE SERVING SIZE Posted: 21 Nov 2020 08:12 AM PST [F 22, 5"10, 226 lbs]. I recently began my weight loss journey so I just started counting calories. Flamin Hot Cheetos are my weakness. I can't go more than 2 days without at least 1 bag. I always thought that it was okay because, "eh, it's only 170 calories". I never thought to look at the serving size because I stupidly assumed that 1 bag = 1 serving size. It wasn't until today while logging my food did I realize that there are in fact 3.5 servings in there. That means that this entire time I have been consuming 400+ calories MORE than I thought I was. WITH JUST A SINGLE BAG OF HOT CHEETOS. Im genuinely shocked. Please, if you're not already doing so, pay attention to serving sizes! [link] [comments] |
