| To those who dealt with their weight in 2020. Posted: 13 Dec 2020 06:39 PM PST Whether the beginning of a new year meant you were finally going to tackle that beast, but that the disasters of 2020 have derailed you. Whether quarantine finally gave you the opportunity to take control of your body and health, but gave you the body you feel ashamed of today. Wether you've inspired others with your journey, or envy the journey of others. Promise me you will forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for all the times you've talked down on yourself or even resented yourself for coming short of any of your goals this year. You may have binged more than you would've liked, but that's okay. You may have gained back the weight you lost, and that's okay too. Because you're reminded that this is a journey. A journey never linear, but always beautiful. The story of your life has just gone through a difficult chapter, but here you are still. Proving to yourself that you are resilient. Your countless attempts being a testament of your will for a better you. 2020 has been rough. Now allow yourself a chance to be a human. One that processes emotion passionately. One that loves unconditionally. But, most importantly, one that forgives itself for being imperfect. [link] [comments] |
| I’m not waiting until January to make a change. Posted: 13 Dec 2020 11:51 AM PST I'm sorry if this not allowed, please feel free to remove if I'm violating any rules! I've been following this sub for the past couple of weeks looking for the motivation and the tips to start. I stepped on the scale and I'm 15 lbs heavier than I was on this same day last year. I've been using quarantine as an excuse for why I'm gaining from way too long. Gyms may still be shut down where I am, my on my feet teaching job may now be a sit in a chair on a screen all day job, but I am in control of what I put in my mouth and the at home workouts I do. I'm not waiting until the new year. Stepping on the scale today was such a wake up call. 15 lbs looks like so much more on my 5'1 frame. Taking before pictures today so I can report back when I lose my first 5 lbs. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 06:46 PM PST Hey, yesterday I am an entire pizza by myself... again. 2019 was the year I began my weight loss & lifestyle transition and it was going really well for the most part. My highest from Feb1 is me @ 300+lbs, in July I'm around 235lbs and today Dec13 I'm at around 265. I've managed to ignored my weight for the past few months blaming it on the pandemic, plus the added stress from college, organizations I'm in, etc... but I've had enough. I'm tired of fueling my body with garbage again, I'm tired of the massive binge sessions, and I'm tired of wasting my youth. I've been reluctant to actually acknowledge what I've been doing but I'm back in this sub for that exact reason. I CAN reach my goal, and I CAN jump back into a healthy lifestyle. I've did it once and and so I know what to do, which means I can do it again. This time, pushing myself to finish what I started. Today I started a new workout routine, prepared a delicious and healthy dinner, and back to tracking calories. I will succeed. I'm really posting here so I can have some sort accountability and to reassure anyone who's in the same boat, we can and will get back on track. Life is a game that I plan on winning, a few extra pounds cannot hold me down. [link] [comments] |
| Scared to stop keto - please help Posted: 13 Dec 2020 06:37 PM PST Hi everyone. I've been doing keto for about two weeks now and I absolutely hate it. I've lost about 7 pounds since I started but I've realized I cannot maintain this way of eating. It's gotten to the point that even thinking about food makes me physically ill. I'm starting to experience some really scary food aversion (not wanting to eat because it makes me feel nauseous). I miss fruit and potatoes and vegetables. I'm scared of reintroducing carbs and gaining weight. I plan to stick to CICO but if you go on other boards you hear horror stories of people gaining ten pounds once they reintroduced carbs and it took weeks for them to lose it again. So, has anyone stopped keto but still ate a deficit and not gained a shit ton of water weight? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 10:20 AM PST This isn't a throwaway account, because truthfully, I don't care who knows it is me. I am fat and everyone knows it, might as well own up to it and seek motivation/support. Here's my history, I will try to condense it, but if anyone wants me to expound, just tell me. I wasn't always a big kid, however, around 10 I started eating a tremendous amount of food. Just so happens this was right around the time my mom went to prison (go figure). Not blaming her for my eating habits, but I am sure the stress contributed. After my mom was released, about a year later, we ended up moving into an old baby sitter's house. Long story short, the dude was a perv and those years were not good. My mom ended up fleeing the state because she committed more crimes and around 13, I went to live with my Dad. I started to box and wrestle at this point in my life and I lost all my weight in high school. Went to college and fluctuated in weight, my biggest during this time being 230 (I am 6'4 and am currently 35 years old). Until I was 24, then I started to fight MMA and opened up my own gym. I became pretty cut/lean ranging between 178-203. My gym was a pretty big gym, we had a cage, a huge bag stand with 15 bags, and a lot of mat area. However, after a few years and some bad choices in partners (both business and relationship-wise) I ended up losing everything and drank myself into oblivion. I gained over 120 pounds in about a year. I was drinking and ordering fast food from home. I was sedentary for almost a year and was depressed and hated life. After a while I became homeless. I was on the street for a while and ended up drinking myself into the hospital. At 29, I sort-of got my shit together and went to rehab at the Salvation Army. I lost around 80 pounds within 5 months, but I soon got out and ended up drinking again. I ballooned up to 280 and I met my wife around the same time. I stopped drinking after I found out I was going to be a Dad and my wife telling me she'd leave if I drank anymore (still sober 5 1/2 years later). I worked 4 jobs (not kidding look at my post history, I go into detail in other posts) and ended up realizing I needed to provide better for my son. I ended up taking the LSAT because a coworker jokingly agreed that she would pay for it if I studied with her. Did relatively well, was offered a scholarship, and went to law school across the country (Colorado to Florida). My wife worked as a bartender at night and took care of my son during the day while I was at law school, I would come home let her sleep, and then do my homework when my son was asleep around 9. Some days in those 5 years of work and school I would only sleep 2-3 hours - if that. I just recently graduated in May and because of COVID we were not able to walk. Our graduation was pushed, as was our bar exam. I ended up taking the bar exam in October, after it was pushed 4 times, and passed! Then my school decided to celebrate our graduation this past weekend, almost 7 months later. During Graduation, I was so happy, I couldn't believe that I got to this point in my life. The wave of emotion was huge. It was a great day, I can't say that it wasn't, I was having a great time at graduation. My family was so happy, I mean I was a homeless drunk like 7 years ago and now I graduated law school and passed the Bar, they were stoked. I was too...until I got the pictures emailed to me. Guys, I am not even kidding when I say that I didn't even realize I was this fat until I saw these pictures. This was the best day of my life, and I look so happy in all of my pics, but they are the worst pictures I have ever seen of myself. I am 330 pounds and just so embarrassed that I have gotten to this point again. I am not even drinking and I am fatter than when I was sitting around eating fast food all the time. Now, every time I look at pictures that should make me feel happy about my accomplishments, I am just embarrassed and depressed. I am so tired of being fat. What's worse is I know how to lose weight, I literally taught people how to lose weight. I just can't find the motivation to do it and I feel so defeated. Sorry for the novel, I just needed to get it off my chest. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 10:30 PM PST This is a rant post, and if you guys been here and overcome this problem, your suggestions are welcome. I'm a 30F, 5'2", CW 169.4, SW 177, GW 145 lbs. i was diagnosed with insulin resistance this year and told I needed to lose weight ASAP. I've been working with a physician to manage my weight, and I haven't lost weight per se, but I have gotten my fat percentage down 3%. I've managed to stop snacking and decrease my portion size. I no longer feel addicted to carbs, although I still sometimes have a hard time not wanting to eat more than what I should. I work out minimum 200 mins per week. And still, THE SCALE HASN'T MOVED MUCH. I'm so obsessed with my weight as a constant reminder that I need to lose 20 more lbs to get off metformin and to be able to reverse the insulin resistance. Anyway, back to my calorie counting frustration. As I haven't lost weight following my physicians instructions, I've decided to start counting calories. According to the metabolic test my physician did, I'm supposed to be eating 1,700 calories to lose weight as my body usually consumes 2,300 per day. I regardless chose to focus on 1,300 because that's what everyone seems to be doing. I've counted calories in the past, and I give up because I remember getting obsessed over it. I've forgotten how bad it gets until today that I'm lying on bed beating myself for eating 1,350 calories instead of 1,300. for me, it's just not "log in your calories, and close the app". For me it's obsessing over every single thing I eat, over going through my head what I did wrong and feeling guilty over why I chose to eat a square of 100% cacao when I had sweet cravings. If you have never had this feeling before, good for you! But the struggle for people with slightly obsessive disorder is real, and for me counting calories isn't as easy as it was for you. Please don't make other people that don't count calories for mental sanity to feel like crap. Believe me, we already beat ourselves enough for that! Losing weight is more than moving the number in a scale, it's about fixing our relationship with food and staying sane. What works for you, won't work for everyone. Calorie counting is definitely the most straightforward path to weight loss, but what options do I have if I can't do it without going insane? Physician works with hormone regulation, and although I've made some small progress, I wish it was faster than it currently is! [link] [comments] |
| If you really want to lose weight, don't eat back the calories you burn Posted: 13 Dec 2020 05:31 PM PST Hey everyone. 33F 5'3 current weight 164 highest weight 220. I started my journey in February and the reason it took so long to get to 164 is because I was exercising and entering my exercise into lose it and getting calories back to eat. It wasn't until I hit a major plateau at 170 for 3 weeks that I decided to make a change. No I am literally only eating 1250 calories a day regardless of how much I walk or whatever. I am proud to say that I am losing weight every single day. Not a pound a day or anything crazy like that but I am definitely heading in the right direction finally. in June or July I think someone suggested to me not to eat back my calories and I got sassy with them because I told them that I would be hungry and over eat later. Again, I am pleased to report that I am not hungry and I feel very satisfied at the end of everyday and every meal. it's actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. So do what you want I'm just letting you know what I have learned. Good luck everyone! [link] [comments] |

| Calorie counting has affected my ability to only eat when i’m hungry Posted: 13 Dec 2020 08:37 AM PST Hello all. I really need help. I am officially down 65 pounds, over the past year and a half. I have been calorie counting this whole time. When I first started, my limits were 1600-1500, I used my fitness pal. I have taken time to look back, and I see that some days i would eat 1100 and some days I'd eat 1500-1600, but that was last year. These days I struggle to leave calories behind. Like, if i'm going to bed and I see I still have 100-200 calories left, I felt a compulsion to go ahead and eat those 100-200 calories even if i'm not hungry. And i have these obsessive thoughts, like "before 1pm i shouldn't have eaten more than 400 calories or else i won't have enough to get me through tonight". Has anyone else struggled with this? While Ive lost the weight, I feel like my intuitive eating abilities have gone out the window. I feel lost. Should I stop counting? I'm paranoid of gaining weight. I don't want to.

| Doing reps every time I kill a monster while gaming Posted: 13 Dec 2020 07:17 PM PST One of the things I hate about working out is that I get very bored very fast. I'm very ADHD and I have a lot of trouble focusing on things I don't find 100% fully captivating. Right now, I'm trying a thing where I'm doing a couple of things at once-- I'm listening to an Audiobook while I play Oblivion, but every time I kill a monster I stop the game and do 10 reps. So for instance, I just did a short dungeon and killed 8 monsters, so I stopped and did 20 crunches, 10 reverse crunches, 3 sets of assorted dumbbell reps, and I held two stretches for ten seconds on each side. I've never tried this before but this seems to be a good way to hack my brain. Every time I switch from my game to my workout and back, that little dopamine bell in my brain dings and I get a tiny surge of excitement because I completed a task and I'm doing something new now. I'm sure this isn't the most efficient way to burn calories. But idgaf this seems to be working for me today [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 09:02 PM PST I have been a long time lurker on here. Reading incredible stories of people turning their lives around and telling their story. I see all the support here, and to me that is incredible. When I have a bad day I usually come here and read everyone's story, good or bad. It helps me realize that I am not alone in my journey. On December 12th, I turned 31. The last few years of my life have been a lot of up's and down's, mostly down's if I am being honest. I am at the lowest point in my life right now and something needs to change. I have given myself excuse after excuse after excuse and it is not working anymore. I have struggled this last year with drastic life changes. I finally let go of 10 years of an unhappy marriage, and wow has it been rough. The last 10 years of my life I have adjusted to my partners wants and needs. Their wants and needs for me and them and our child. In the last 10 years I have had a child, finished my time up in the military and in the process have gained 50lbs. I know that it probably is not a lot to some people, but to me it is too much for me to be comfortable with. In those 10 years I have put myself on the back burner and helped others around me. My sister-in-law was 260lbs and I helped and encouraged her to lose weight because she felt like I do now. She is down to 150lbs and I am so proud of her. When I reached out to her for some help, mostly support, she took me to a gym and tried to have me lift weights with her. I am not where she was, so after me saying it was too hard to lift 120lbs, is there anything else I could do, she told me we could call it quits for the day and try again. Again never came. I went home to my spouse and they were on the phone with her making fun of how fat I was. After I confronted them about what was being said, they told me I should not be working out because when people lose weight and gain muscle it looks unattractive and if I did not like it, I could leave. I left 2 weeks after that. Aside from my significant other not seeming to care, this has hurt and stuck with me a lot. And still does to this day. Because I have a child with my ex, I occasionally see my ex sister-in-law and she still makes comments. I always thought being an adult I could just ignore hurtful things being said, but I can't always... It has been a year since I left my ex, and after a full year of counseling, I think it's time to also focus on my physical health at this point. As of today, I am now 31 years old, 5ft 7in, and 190lbs..I hope next time I post something, I will be much healthier and maybe even weigh less. How does one stay motivated when they have lack of support around them? What keeps you going? Do you ever worry that if you lose all the weight and meet your goal that you won't be as humble? Also if anyone wants to help 'support' me, feel free to add me on MyFitnessPal - staccsthekilla Any support is welcome at this point. Thank you for those who take the time to read my story, if I am being honest, I needed to get that off my chest. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 04:36 PM PST So I consistently been eating healthy and working out and I have an average loss of weight per week at two pounds. This week was a little bit different. I weighed in at 183.9 last Sunday. Today, I weighed in at 176.8. I thought that couldn't be right because that would mean I lost about 7 lb in less than a week? So I tried another scale. Got the same result. I moved the scale to a different area. Same number. So somehow I was able to lose seven pounds. I don't know if I should be concerned or happy? I've never lost this much weight in a week before. Does anybody know what this could have been? My stats: Male 5 foot 7 24 years of age Starting weight: 194.6 Current weight: 176.8 O2:. 96 BP: 114/78 HR:76 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 02:32 PM PST Hello! I'm 20F and 94.5 kg. I recently got diagnosed with IBS and it both helped and created obstacles in my weight loss journey. I decided to use this lockdown in the most productive way possible and worked really hard to lose weight using tips from this sub. So THANKS A TON! I began with CICO and a goal to hit 10,000 steps each day. This helped me loose 12 kgs. I should have been more consistent, there were days I stumbled and lazy days where I didn't reach my step goal but I'm still happy with myself. I have a bad relationship with food. My mom decided I was too fat when I was 7 and made me start dieting so I'd hide and eat in school. Going off to college made this disordered eating a monster. I was living alone for the first and would binge on all the junk food that was banned at home. Within a few months, I was piling on the weight. This time however I'm optimistic, I started this weight loss journey, wasn't pushed on it by my mom, and I can treat myself just once in a while in moderation. Can't wait to share a before and after with y'all once I'm halfway to my GW [link] [comments] |
| Food self-control feels like a superpower Posted: 13 Dec 2020 10:16 AM PST I have been always been a sucker for a deal when it comes to food. Uber offering 25% off? Well then, order everything! With the pandemic and all, I'm getting daily flyers advertising massive deals on pizza. And I could feel my conditioned mind just starting to think about it's presumptive order, but then my more recently developed self-control kicked in. For the price of that unholy combination of carbs, cheese and fat, I could cook a nice nutritional meal at home. And besides, if I'm going to cave in to pizza, I'd rather wait and shell out for some primo Italian stuff, not another forgettable slice of fast food chain pizza. Comparing how I'd fall for these things before vs. now, the self-control feels like a veritable super-power that has me saying "you've got nothing on me, fast food chain, move along and find some other sucker".

| Posted: 13 Dec 2020 11:42 AM PST I was 240lbs during my teen years. I began to put the weight on as soon as I hit puberty and I didn't really know why as you can see from the photos i'm going to attach below I dramatically put it on from such an early age I was HUGE. life was shit. I was depressed, Suicidal and even when I was informed it was PCOS I relied on the doctors to fix it for me. Once I finally got my shit together as I got older I began dieting correctly, 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight. I lowered my calories dramatically, healthy fats and low GI Index carbs. I did NOT use any fat burners during my fat loss phase. I did cardio 7 days a week. And weight training 5 times per week. The first photos are me obviously over weight, the second lot of photos are me AFTER i'd lost the fat which was not easy. I actually found it harder to lose the last 20-25lbs then I did the first 100lbs if i'm honest. After i'd lost the weight I got into bodybuilding which I won't lie i've used supplementation to improve my body composition and get the look I wanted. Now I know not all will agree with the last part. But i'm not going to lie. My goal was to lose fat and change my life around which I did. I know own a few of my own gyms, And a few other businesses. I'm self employed and happy. Hopefully this motivates others and i'd love to hear your success stories. Any questions or anything I can help with feel free to ask me! https://imgur.com/a/w9OSaPT [link] [comments] |
| Completely overwhelmed by social media Posted: 13 Dec 2020 12:52 PM PST So I've [F27, 194 pounds] lost 75 pounds, and I'm just over halfway on my journey [269-129]. This week I dyed my hair and for the first time in about 2 months decided to post some stories on my social media of me with my new hair and clothes I've bought recently. Well. I was not prepared. I've never gotten much attention from men on Instagram before, all my likes came from other women. I've had a considerable amount of men pop up to my stories complimenting me and trying to make conversation. I should add I know all of these men from before, bar 1 random person. I have no interest in dating right now so I've dismissed them politely, but I don't know how to feel. I kind of feel like I should be feeling pissed off? But that's not a normal response to being complimented. Anyone had any experience of this? [link] [comments] |

Non-Scale Victories: I realized today how often I have to pull up my work pants that used to fit snugly. Gotta get new pants soon :D Text Wall w/ TLDR at bottom: So I didn't die. At my last update I was 189.6lbs. No, it didn't take me 3 months to lose 4lbs, it took me 3 months to gain about 5lbs and then lose 10. The main reason I put on weight was because I stopped hiking, with old eating happens spurring it on. It didn't really stress me out that much though. A couple of pounds of fluctuation is normal, but I knew to reel myself back in after I was up 5lbs. I stayed at 191-192 for a while before getting officially back on track, thanks to having a treadmill. I was doing a Chloe Ting challenge, but dropped it from my routine halfway through because of my finals. I'm not sure I'll pick it back up, but I did enjoy it most days. Food wise, I've stopped counting calories, mainly because I'm lazy and don't want to have to weigh out my food. At first it was rough in terms of eating under, but I got the hang of it, sort of. I didn't eat enough yesterday, and I think today I'm just barely making it in. Not eating enough is a new problem for me that I never thought I would experience. I'm finished with college for the semester and will be going to clinicals next semester. I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for different issues that may pop up, like not having motivation to exercise after working all day. Right now though, I'm gonna enjoy my break, binge watch Criminal Minds, and try to finish my dinner. TLDR: I gained weight, then lost it + some. I'm struggling with eating enough, but I've got people looking out for me :D [link] [comments] |
| How to cope/get over the likelihood that a loved one will never lose weight? Posted: 13 Dec 2020 07:45 PM PST Throughout my weight loss I have gotten a lot of postive feedback from friends and family. Some people were much more excited than others and wished to join me/start their own weight loss journeys after years of struggling with their weight. Fast forward several months, and all of their attempts at weight loss have subsided and they are back to eating as they usually do (despite sharing their desperation to lose weight). I'm well aware that weight loss is incredibly difficult and comes more easily to others. I also know that statistically many people will remain overweight/obese for the rest of their lives. However, there's still a large part of me that constantly wishes that they would finally lose the weight that has had such a negative impact on their overall wellbeing. I mean if I can do it, it must clearly not be impossible in their eyes. How do I let go of these feelings and just accept the fact that they most likely will never lose weight (even if it costs them their health)? Note: I do not talk about other people's weight or my own weight loss unless explicitly asked. I also try to be as neutral as possible when it comes to weight/diet talk. [link] [comments] |
