| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 06:24 AM PST We avoid those who are unhealthy who probably need the love and support most but give it to those who are healthy and in shape... Honestly I dont get why we are like this. Ive been getting a lot more attention lately, since i changed my wardrobe, work out every moment I can, and changed my hygiene routine. I did it because I wanted to give myself the love ive neglected to give myself for most of my adult life. Since covid has been going on ive been completly locked away from everyone since march and since i deleted my social media accounts no one has seen my progress. Now that people have seen me its like everyone thinks now its time to come out and talk to me after avoiding me for years... Ill be honest im more saddened by it than anything else... Why cant we be there more when people are not looking healthy... Come up to someone who looks fucking awful and give them a smile and treat them like they are human not a fucking kid... Maybe someone can help shed light on why it's like this. Edit: not going to lie ive had a pretty crap day and coming back home to seeing all of your comments and love... Thank you all so much for being alive during these times. I cant imagine how many people are feeling down like me during these days... Its you guys that make that bull $h!+ worth it.

| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 06:09 PM PST https://imgur.com/gallery/PQI2ZML When I first started I couldn't run, only walk. But I started building up the speed gradually. Now I'm training for a marathon next April and up to 9 miles with my longest run so far. My journey has had a lot of stops and starts because of depression and what not. But I also started tracking my food again and setting a calorie limit about two months ago and it wasn't until about two weeks ago that I had the courage to get on the scale again. I had been in a rut for about three years because I had let the scale discourage me and just remind me of how far I'd fallen. Now I just let it tell me how far I've come. EDIT: Thanks for the award!

| First target achieved, onto my next. Losing 51 kgs (112.5 lbs), my journey so far Posted: 20 Dec 2020 10:07 PM PST I hit my unachievable target of weighing 80 kgs 3 days ago. Felt great. Since this sub has been everything for me, wanted to share my experience with you all. To summarise my stats - 26M, 167cm tall, Highest weight 131ish kgs, Current weight 80 kgs. I made a post 6 months ago about how I got started here. This post is about what followed after that. People keep asking me, what is your target. I tell them a number. Earlier it was 80 kgs, now its 70. They tell me you should not set numbers as your target, rather a body type. I tell them I was obese my entire life, I have no idea what kind of a body I want, numbers is all I have. The good part of it.
The bad part of it.
My friends and family keep saying, you have lost enough now, stop it, you are looking weak, etc. But I feel I need to lose another 10 odd kgs or get under 20% body fat, whichever makes me feel satisfied. Here are a few progress pictures for you to enjoy. Feel free to ask any question, I will reply to my best capability. Sorry for the unorganised post, I was just too damn excited for it. Didn't really know what to write :P [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 03:50 AM PST So like I said in the title I am way to heavy, last time I weighed myself I was 180kgs (396lbs) I am mobile, I am told that I dont look my weight, and I think thats because I do have a fair amount of muscle, but I have a huge belly to go along with it. I am 29, I have always been big. For now my ultimate goal within the next 2 years is to hit 100kgs (220lbs) my biggest problem is will power, I always do well for the first month, then slowly get back in to my old habits.. Im not asking anyone here to hold me accountable, I know that is on me. I just wanted to let you guys know. and hopefully in a year I will be posting one of these photos I see on here and I will have turned things around. As soon as I am allowed to I will be joining the gym, but till then I will be watching my diet better, and doing more. I already walk everywhere (average 9k steps a day with my goal being 10k which I usually hit at least once a week) and just being more active. Strangely enough, one of my biggest things I am driving for is that my brother is giving me his old drone, and I want to be able to go on long hikes and take videos of beautiful places. Wish me luck friends. [link] [comments] |
| Just signed up for my first 5k Posted: 20 Dec 2020 06:59 PM PST Already in the back of my head I'm telling myself I'm jumping the gun. I spent $25 on a race in May, when I'm still over 300 pounds. I've only been seriously doing cardio and CICO for about 9-10 days now. But the negative side in me always comes out first, so I have to remind myself what I do know: -I hate feeling gross and unhealthy all the time.
-even if I can't jog the entire race by May (that's the ultimate goal) I still will finish the race as quickly as I can and be proud of finishing my first 5k. Also, I'm down about 8 pounds (it's amazing what dropping down to a 2000 calorie diet and cardio 4-5 times a week will do for you). [link] [comments] |
| So I won't hit my 2020 goal but... Posted: 20 Dec 2020 01:36 PM PST I wanted to share how I feel right now, partly to remind my future self that this is ok, and partly in the hope that it might help someone else who might be in a bit of a slump. I (re)started my weight loss journey back in May at 246lbs. My goal was 196lbs by the end of the year. Armed with my calorie tracker, very supportive boyfriend and a Fitbit, the number on the scales ever so slowly started to drop. Fast forward to July and I lost a stone (hooray!) and gained a much prettier, shinier stone on my left ring finger! Needless to say, I immediately joined the gym. Now armed with a calorie tracker, a very supportive fiancé, a Fitbit and a gym membership, I continued my quest and lost another stone by October. This time, however, I gained several new stones in my gallbladder. Then I hit a plateau. Then the country went into lockdown and the gym closed. Nevermind, I don't need a gym to break through this! I still have my trusty calorie counter, my darling fiancé and my Fitbit. I'll just walk it off! So I walked. And walked. And walked some more. The dog didn't want to come with me any more and my poor fiancé was exhausted so I roped in my best friend/gym buddy and walked some more. Cut to today and I am STILL at 215lbs. I have an operation to remove my gallbladder on Tuesday so I have had to isolate. I can't go to the gym or go on long country walks anymore. I could have done some exercise inside, but the drive was gone by this point. I hit a slump and was feeling pretty down about the whole thing until I realised: I had lost two stone and not gained a pound back since October. I've not lost everything I wanted to this year. I've not hit my goal. But, even with a misbehaving organ, I am healthier than I was last year. It has been a tough year for everyone but I have worked hard and achieved a lot. It may not be perfect, but I am a damn sight closer to my goal than I was when I started. So, 2021: SW - 215lbs GW - 160lbs Bring it on! [link] [comments] |
| 21F Starting again and could use some tips/inspiration and general ideas. Posted: 21 Dec 2020 12:38 AM PST May this year during Lockdown in the UK I weighed at my heaviest of 14 stone 7lbs and decided i was going to do something about it - I was determined. However - I hadn't been to the gym in 3 years, the most exercise I did was walking and i have not long started a job that was less active and allowed me to sit at a desk for 4/5 hours of my work day. I started to eat healthier and cutting and counting calories, which worked for a while. And found I kept slipping still, especially on the weekends when spending time with my (now) ex boyfriend. He was tall and barely gained weight but he ALWAYS wanted a takeaway or snacks and just rather unhealthy foods. I didn't realize he was my main issue when it came to my slipping up when i broke up with him back in august. I was on my own and I didn't have anyone to tell me: 'Come on, just have a cheat day, you can always lose the weight again' 'I don't want to just eat crap on my own and it's not fair' 'It's not the end of the world to indulge a little' Suddenly I was walking more after work, I was doing little workouts at home when I found the motivation and I was cooking my own meals and eating healthier - I didn't have a voice or anyone to tell me that I could cheat. I started intermittent fasting between 16/8 and 20/4 I lost 2 stone! However, i couldn't keep up with that motivation, I was drained and having to focus on moving back to my parents because I couldn't afford the flat I had on my own. I started buying takeaway again and microwave meals because it was easy and convenient and I gained back around 10-11lbs in just a few weeks. Since moving back to my parents on the 30th of November I've started fasting again, clean fasting. I've tried to make healthier choices and start counting calories but I'm not always doing it. and I started going to the gym 3 times a week :) I couldn't be more pleased. I've lost 5lbs again and I feel like I'm on track - I can even run on the treadmill for 13 minutes straight, I've never been able to do that! and the non-scale victories are wonderful! However I guess I'm trying to ask when did you really start to see results, especially from the gym? How can i keep my current motivation, especially over christmas? My family are big on food and they are all overweight/obese and struggling and continue to eat foods I'm trying to avoid or big portions. Any tips to keep up the exercise or any exercises that are better for weight loss? What can i do to keep this going? I want to get to not only my goal weight but finally feel comfortable in my own skin, especially for summer next year. Apologies for the long post - I thought a back story might help :,D [link] [comments] |
| [tip] 33% of my weigh-ins have been weight gains... Posted: 20 Dec 2020 07:56 AM PST I've been tracking and weighing-in every day for the paste 309 days and have lost 60lbs/27kg/4st. Over that time I have:
So, for those just starting off or those that may be frustrated, this isn't a linear equation. But, if you stick to your plan, you'll have many more good days than bad. [link] [comments] |
| I'm ready to do this. I have to. Posted: 20 Dec 2020 08:31 PM PST Hello all, sorry if this isn't allowed here or something but I'm just using this as a way to kind of slightly vent and also get my goal/story in writing and introduce myself into this community. I also low-key am hoping to find a little support and maybe make some weight-loss buddies. Again sorry if that's not ok here. I might delete this later anyway. I have been feeling extremely down lately and just feeling so sorry for myself and I'm so sick of it. I've tried losing weight a couple of times in the past, and even though I was able to lose 30-40 pounds every time, I always ended up giving up on myself and gaining it back. I gained about 30 pounds during this pandemic (which put me at my highest weight ever and I don't wanna disclose it out of embarrassment) and around September/October I started making better eating decisions again. I was still too depressed to work out but I figured eating better was a start. And when I say eating better, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm eating healthier foods, though I do sometimes, I just eat less of the garbage I've always eaten. Well, I weighed myself last night and I apparently have lost 30 pounds, the entire weight I've gained during the pandemic! I'm pretty shocked to see this cause I haven't been fully committed and haven't been exercising or anything but I guess I was eating such a high amount of calories before that simply eating less has made me drop a bunch. Needless to say, I have a renewed motivation. Imagine how much more I would lose if I put just a little more effort into my diet and/or started walking a little bit every day? So this is me committing. I know I've told myself this before but I refuse to quit this time. I have to do this. I am promising myself. I'm gonna start walking again tomorrow. Hell, I might get crazy and use my resistance bands to work out a little. If anyone actually read this, thanks and I wish you the very best in your journey. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 09:43 PM PST just needing a place to vent. i was hanging out with my pod tonight and someone took a video of all of us and sent it on our group chat. it feels like i'm seeing myself properly for the first time in a long time. my face looks enormous and my double chin is hanging so low. it's not what i see in the mirror. it feels really frustrating because i have been counting calories for months and only now, like in the last few weeks, i'm achieving balance with a steady intake and taking enough steps every day. i feel like i've gained so much weight over the last 3 years and now i'm just at a standstill. i know i need to set small goals but honestly, i'm just so mad at myself and the road ahead seems enormous and never ending. does anyone else feel this way?

| Posting here so I can keep myself accountable Posted: 20 Dec 2020 10:37 PM PST My body image has changed this year and I finally want to get it under control. I have tried IF and different diets but none of them gave me what I wanted. So this morning I chose to take a run and I ran just over a mile. I suffer(ed) from anorexia. My lowest weight at my current height, 5'7, was 98 pounds and that was September 2017. I started binge drinking and quickly gained weight and it's been a steady increase ever since. Exercise scares me because I know what it will do to me. I know how hard it's going to be, so I'm not counting calories. I am going to eat clean, take my vitamins, and run every single day. I just took pictures of myself for the first time in a long time so that way I can track my progress. I am at 151 pounds today. My goal weight is 125. I know I can do it. I will do it. I want my favorite dresses and pants to fit again. I want to stop wearing long sleeves to hide my upper arms. I want my face to slim down so my favorite attribute, my cheekbones, can shine through. I want to not hate seeing myself during my zoom classes. I want to be healthier. I can do this. Thanks for listening. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 08:50 PM PST Hello, As longer as I can remember (I'm 33 M). I've had problems maintaining my weight... I'm always either loosing or gaining and it feels like I can never just stay in one weight range. I know it's normal to fluctuate a little bit I'm not taking a few pounds here or there. My lowest was 180lbs and my highest so far has been 245. I'm getting really sick of it honestly. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 02:27 PM PST Hello everyone. This is my first post on here. This is more like a weight loss diary, so feel free to completely ignore all of this. I have had my "first day of my diet" or "first day of my health kick" many, many, many.. many. MANY times before. This time, it is my last first day. My goal of this is to be as open and honest with not only myself, but who ever chooses to ready this with me. I am going to lose my career if I don't lose this weight. I am in the army, and if I do not make better lifestyle choices, lose weight, and become "more fit", I will not be able to pass height and weight, or my physical fitness test, both of which can get me kicked out of the army faster than you can read this post. I am choosing for ME to get into shape. I also had a hard time figuring out if I wanted to post on here vs bodybuilding.com. I feel like there is a more engaging community on reddit. So, here we go. I weighed in today at 166.0lbs. This is the most I have ever weighed. No, I am not morbidly obese, and no, this isn't an inspirational starting weight, but this is MY weight. This is a HUGE challenge for me. I started the day so stiff that I couldn't even turn properly while driving to check for cars in the next lane. I am ready to make a change. I have included photos of my weigh in. This is an honest weigh in. Not like the others with the army where I would fast for a week and dehydrate myself for extra pounds or inches. My real weight, my real numbers, and real pictures. I need to hit the ground running, so here are some goals I have for this week:
Here are my stats as of 20 December 2020: Height: 5'5" or 65" Weight: 166.0lbs Neck: 14in Waist: 37in Hips: 43in BMI: 27.3 Fat %: 41.4% Please, wish me luck and support me. Thank you, -Reddit's newest member. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2020 12:56 AM PST I thought I read the rules right so if this is wrong I'm sorry! I'm new to reddit and using mobile!! Anyways to start with I'll give my journey! I (23, 5'5 ft) started losing weight a few years ago when I was able to move away from my family and I managed to drop from 320 lbs to 260 lbs. I met someone online and we kicked it off, inspiring me to lose 10 lbs. When we got to be together, we both wanted to diet together and to keep a long story short, he dumped me because I was too fat when he lost weight. I ended up gaining all my weight back! Well I got back on my feet and dieted like how I used to. My problem is even though I've been eating less and walking more, I cant seem to lose my stomach! The rest of my body looks decent in my eyes, but my stomach looks like I'm wearing a barrel sideways at all times! I've completely cut out soda and alcohol and exclusively drink flavorless water (or lemon water occasionally) but the gut won't go!! I've tried just about everything I can think of. Ive been eating mostly carrots, green beans, corn, potatoes, chicken, shrimp, tofu, granola/fiber bars, tuna, fresh potatoes and rice cakes typically. If anyone can give me any advice I would greatly appreciate it! And to anyone trying to lose weight, and feels like giving up; DONT. Dieting is a b*tch but it feels good to accomplish after all your effort and hard work! Be proud of yourself and just take it one step at a time! [link] [comments] |

| Hold each other accountable? [F35, Canada] Posted: 20 Dec 2020 08:42 PM PST I have never tried to have accountability partners, so I have no idea what I'm doing :) I am a 35-year old woman, living in Canada, trying to lose 30ish kgs, after some failed attempts. I really think CICO works for me, but I am bad at tracking, and an additional difficulty is that I don't like meat at all, so I am constantly trying to find good vegetarian options that are not only a bowl of lettuce (I get that I should eat that:)) Mentally I'm not in the best place right now, because I have found myself alone for the holidays, but I guess that's true for a lot of us. I wish my appetite was gone, when I'm sad, but I seem to eat more. Also I have to force myself to get out of the apartment, and on some days I can't do it. I'm sure everyone is thrilled to talk to me.:))) Anyway let me know if you are also looking for a buddy. Or if you are at a similar place. I am in EST. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 07:21 PM PST Just wanted to post a success story and hopefully inspire some folks here on the weight loss journey. Began losing weight strictly through diet January 6th of this year. I was a 5'8, 234 pound, 28M (looked about 200 since I had a fairly good amount of muscle still). I didn't follow a fad diet; I focused on a caloric deficit and cut my sodium intake to <1500mg a day. Come June, I had dropped down to about 185 with no exercise. Beginning in July, I started doing an hour of cardio about 3 times a week. Come August, I started doing 3 hours of full body workouts a week, and 5-6 hours of cardio (I call it HISS; typically going for 60-90 minutes at a sustained HR of 140+). Come Thanksgiving, I was down to 154 and had dropped to about 16% body fat. I got married December 5th and weighed in at 150 the day before my wedding, and went from wearing a size 38 waist and 17.5" neck to wearing a comfortable size 32 and size 30 in some pants, with a 15" neck. Once I shift into maintenance, I'll need about 3000-3200 calories a day to maintain based on my rate of loss the 6 weeks before my wedding (roughly 1.5-2lbs a week). I didn't follow a fad diet. I was typically still ingesting around 225-275 carbs a day on a 2200 caloric budget. I had cheat days a couple times a month. I enjoyed holiday food. Once a week I went and got my favorite milkshake or burger from somewhere. It's all about the downward trend. Don't beat yourself up over enjoying food with friends and family or eating what you want every once in a while. Weight loss, just like weight gain, isn't linear. Your body does not do perfect math with calories, whether you are cutting or trying to gain weight. Everyone is different. Don't think of food as JUST fuel to get you to the next meal or day; it is also something to enjoy in life. Don't worry about comparing your losses to someone else; the fact you are even trying to lose weight is more than most people can say. Keep at it and remember that you don't need success right this very instant; it takes time. You didn't gain all that weight instantly and you aren't going to lose all of it instantly. Reward yourself on milestones and don't look for fast methods or cheats to lose weight. You'll enjoy it more in the end. P.S. - If I had to do it over again, the only thing I would change is perhaps not cutting the sodium so much. There is some conflicting evidence about the effectiveness of <1500mg sodium a day diets on those without cardiovascular issues. My doctor believes I may have developed a salt sensitivity, as I went on my honeymoon and gained 38 pounds in 8 days and am holding on to so much water weight that I look like I'm 200+ pounds again. This was after walking an average of 11.5 miles a day and being awake for 18 hours minimum, so I was definitely burning some calories and was only maxing out at probably 5-6k a day on the heaviest eating days. My entire physique has become puffy and bloated, and having anything more than about 2300mg of sodium in a day shoots my RHR from 43-45 up to around 90+. Once the new year comes around I'll be going on a far less drastic cut to lose the holiday weight and honeymoon weight, but I was told to expect it to take at least a month for the excess water to be expelled if I have truly developed a sodium sensitivity.

| Lost my Taste & Smell. Thanks to dat Rona. Posted: 20 Dec 2020 02:34 PM PST That's right I got the Rona. I'm young and relatively healthy, but I'm also obese, but I'm always a chipper kinda guy so forgive me if I come off a little too chipper in lou of others being hospitalized. But something I've realized is that since losing my taste buds and sense of smell, is just how much my eating habits is tied to taste and smell. I don't even feel like eating that much because I can't taste anything. And usually I eat fast, so you would think I'm not missing anything. But I am. Like you really don't know what you got till it's gone. My parents went to get BBQ. I didn't even want BBQ. I just went to get McDonald's on my cheat day. The only thing I can feel on my touch is the feeling or texture of the food and the spiciness of the food. But other than that, if it's sweet, I can't tell. If it's dull, I don't know. Sour I can sense, I tried eating a lemon and that was tough. So long story short guys, No matter how healthy you are, this shit can and will affect you. Losing your sense of taste and smell aint no joke. I can't tell if what Im eating is good or bad. Whether it's been seasoned right or wrong. If what Im cooking is burnt or not. So yea you might survive but you will not get past this shit unscathed. You will come away with a scar. My scar is losing my ability to enjoy food. I normally don't snack, but I tried snacking it and I couldn't, I just put the bag of chips up. Didn't want it. My taste buds are kinda coming back. But Obviously I'm still social distancing and wear my mask. It sneaks up on you though. You could be doing everything right and it gone catch you slipping. It caught me slipping. Don't let it catch you. And no this won't help you lose weight don't try to catch it to help you eat less. That's not how this works. [link] [comments] |
| I think Ive developed binge eating disorder Posted: 20 Dec 2020 06:16 PM PST This is a tough post to write becuase its the first time I admit it to anyone else. back in 2016, i started eating way healthier and working out after some serious emotional problems with my family. I did not do it to lose weight, I started because I needed something to distract me from my awful feelings. Went from 173 to 135ish in like a year ish. maitained pretty (gaining and losing 10ish pounds) until quarantine. quarantine let me have total control over my food intake, slept way more bc i did not have to wake up early to go to uni, and worked out more bc of free time so i lost weight and got to 127ish in late july/early august. tried to transition to maintenance and my fall semester started. oh boy. i would diet so well during the week but friday-sunday?? binge fest to deal with anxiety and stress due to a very demanding course load. and its been like that till now. i currently weigh 140-143 ish. now, i will admit that i like how i look now more than when i weighed 127, but i would like to get to 135 because i want to be a healthy weight for my height (5'3) also binging on sugary shit is not good for my health. i hate how out of control i feel during binges and how sick i feel afterwards. the weight gain doesnt bother me as much, its these patterns ive developed that really bother me. i just want to stop binging. i hate it, but i cant make myself stop for reference, i am 5'3, pretty active (over 10k steps a day, mix of strength training and cardio (total 6 workouts a week)) i normally eat ~1800 cals mon-thurs and ~3500 fri-sun) [link] [comments] |

| My binge eating is ruining my life. I keep trying to stop and all I find is failure. Posted: 20 Dec 2020 07:04 PM PST I'm a 21f who has dealt with binge eating disorder/junk food addiction for a few years now but it is really coming to a head these past few months. I'm living on my own for the first time, and the freedom to eat without anyone around to judge me has seriously worsened things beyond my control and I'm suffering for it. I binge just about every day after work - eating chocolates, chips, ice cream, cheese, crackers, candy, you name it. Then I feel so physically terrible and fatigued I go to bed early without eating dinner, and sleep as late as I can because I can't get up, which in turn leads me to skipping breakfast and starting the cycle anew. I can't tell you how many times I've walked around my house and thrown away every chip bag and candy bar and eaten healthier for a few days, exercised, and felt great just to make a stop home from the convenience store after work. I'm struggling so much. I'm gaining weight, losing cognition, and I just feel so sluggish all the time. Yet nothing seems to stick. Even small changes like cutting out only fast food or chips I've failed on. I've never felt so out of control of myself. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 08:02 AM PST My 12yo is obese. His weight has been an issue since he was 6 and the less control I have over what he eats the bigger he gets. Right now he goes to his dads every other week and is putting on a ton of weight there. I am at a complete loss. I don't want to shame him, I don't want him to feel less than because of his body. And it gives me a ton of anxiety - I'm worried about his health, I'm worried about bullying, I'm sad that he can't do things that his peers can. Any conversations we try to have are painful and futile. He seems to have no off switch and then I'm the bad guy when I don't let him eat three cookies in a sitting. My question here is what can I do? What should I do? I've had to lose weight as an adult and know how to count calories etc, but idk how to approach it with him. We've talked to the pediatrician and a children's dietician, it was pretty unhelpful: eat less, move more. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 20 Dec 2020 01:04 PM PST I've been an athlete all my life and it wasn't until I got out of high school that I stopped playing sports. 10 years later I put on 40 extra pounds and it sucks. I hate it, my movements have never been so restricted in my life. I'm constantly uncomfortable whether I'm sitting, standing, sleeping, clothed, naked it doesn't matter. And I'm constantly embarrassed to be seen in public. I used to be really proud and arrogant (for better or worse) and now I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I managed to lose around 20 lb in the past via keto diet, but afterwards I spent 6 months putting all of that fat right back on my body eating pizza and cinnabon. I'm done with this. I'm sick of being overweight. It's so uncomfortable. I hate shopping for clothes, I'm insecure around women and I hate the way I look. I hate that guilty feeling I get when I meet somebody that I haven't seen in a while and they noticed that I've put on more weight. No more. it's 6:00 a.m. and it's cold as hell outside but I'm lacing up my shoes and I'm about to go for a run (something I haven't done in months since the pandemic started). I guess I'm just finally ready to do something about this '6 months pregnant' look and in desperate need of an encouraging comment. Just had to get that off my chest. [link] [comments] |
