| Lost 20 pounds since August! Not great, but proud. An embarrassing question though... Posted: 24 Dec 2020 02:22 PM PST So, I'm a 5'8" 18 year old guy, roughly 255 lb. I started my weight loss journey in August and lost around 20 pounds, which isn't incredible progress but I'm proud. I've done some research, kept a mostly consistent diet and been getting into all the physical activity I need to feel good. And I do feel good—great, even. Though I should probably start looking around for more specific tips on how to drop weight in specific areas of my body, so that's something to work on soon. But one thing that's been niggling at the back of my mind is the same thing that bothers most guys: my penis. So as you can tell, this is a burner account, so Imma be frank: 4.2 inches erect as it stands. Below average, fairly okay, to look at, whatever. I don't much care about it in the sexual sense, if I'm being honest, but there's still that macho part of me that wants to have a bigger dick. And I've looked into all the stuff about fat pads at in my pubis burying my penis and it's definitely possible. I know for a fact by now that it tends to sorta sink in there when flaccid, which I also can ascertain isn't normal for men. It's fairly buried, but thankfully not as buried as it is for other people. So my question is: how much should my penis 'grow' once I reach my ideal weight? The most consistent number I've read is roughly 1-2 inches of penis is revealed every 30-50 pounds of weight loss. I do have pretty large legs/thighs and my pubis is pretty full, yeah, but not as full as other photos I've seen of people with intense buried penis syndrome. Which makes me think: maybe my penis isn't even really that buried? I'd be happy with what I have, sure, but I'd also likely be happier down the line if I get it to feel and measure out like a 5 incher, or even 6 if I'm lucky. So yeah. This is in part a vent about my worries, but I know that if I see the results down there I'd feel a great deal happier about myself. I know that once I do lose the weight it'll still look and feel bigger, even if there isn't any real significant difference. But I guess the question still stands for people who have been through the same thing: how much of an affect DOES weight loss actually have on your penis? Edit: I'm going to keep replying to peeps but I just want to say: thanks. As sincerely as I can, to the bottom of my heart. I damn near shed a fucking tear seeing all the support and kindness from my embarrassing, sorta weird predicament. It means a lot coming from someone who, while finding the humor in this, does have huge issues with self-esteem. That being said, I will not post a dick progress pic in a year's time. That's just a line I'm not crossing with y'all. [link] [comments] |
| I lost 70lbs in 2020, until I saw last years photo's I wasn't so sure. Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:44 PM PST Check out my transformation here Essentially, even though I'd lost 70 lbs and was feeling the weight fall off of me and my body working more regularly, it was hard to tell the gains I'd made to this point. It wasn't until my mom made a photobook from last years trip to see my grandfather that I had photo's showing how much weight I'd ACTUALLY lost (because, like some, I HATE pictures being taken of me when overweight). But I'm finally finally FINALLY able to see the difference, and my face ALONE is worth all the work I've put in so far as I know look 100x more like my old self then a used to. That's probably why I feel comfortable looking in the mirror again, because I finally see my face, instead of the face of my worst nightmare: a heavyset man with no ambition and no goals. Today: I'm a man with a 2 year plan and am excited for my future for the first time in 6+ years. Merry Christmas everyone, and happy holidays this season, I love all of you, and your posts and support here mean more to me than any physical gift than I could ever receive :) [link] [comments] |
| My mother destroyed all the self esteem I worked so hard to build. Posted: 25 Dec 2020 01:15 AM PST My mother first started telling me to lose weight in elementary school, when I was at a perfectly healthy weight. I began the cycle of crash dieting in middle school, and by high school I fully believed my appearance was disgusting due to being about 15 lbs overweight. Throughout my childhood, my mother would tell me how pretty I would be if I lost weight. Once I hit college, I gained a bunch of weight and ended up at 246 lbs. The interesting thing is, despite gaining over 100 lbs, I never noticed a change in my appearance. After starting therapy, I decided to put an end to crash dieting and to my mother's comments. I started learning to love myself and explained to my mom she has no place in my weight loss journey anymore. And in 2020, I lost 35 lbs. In the past week, my mother had started making snide comments about my weight again. Anytime she saw me eating even slightly unhealthy, she would say "I didn't realize you were trying to commit suicide." I finally had enough and confronted her. She began crying and told me I had gained so much weight in the last few months that I was going to die of diabetes before I hit 30. She said she cannot look at me without being disgusted by how fat I am. She said she sees commercials for the show "1000 lb Sisters" and knows that's where I will end up. When I tried to tell her I'd lost weight, she told me I was lying. She could see I had gained weight. For the first time in my life, I had been seeing a change in myself as I lost weight. I would catch glimpses of myself in the mirror and think hot damn, I look cute today. I can't look at my reflection anymore. I disgust myself. I know I've lost weight, not gained it, but what I see no longer matches with what I know. I know my mother can be cruel, but I didn't think I could feel this much pain over something she's said. I'm honestly at a loss of what to do. One thing I do know, she says she can't look at me without seeing my weight, well I can't look at her without remembering this conversation. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 09:26 AM PST I'm at 280 a place I never ever thought I'd see. I had planned on losing weight this year so that I could enjoy Christmas with my bestfriends family this year. I managed to gain weight instead and decided to not spend Christmas with them. I'm so disappointed with myself. I decided to start last week so that I won't have to be disappointed next year and holy guac this is hard. Why are there so many calories in things! Im hungry all the time. So basically I never get it eat anything I want to eat ever again and if I do I can't eat anything else that day?! The things that I do eat just aren't satisfying. I don't have time to exercise. How did you all do this? And before anyone says there are as a pandemic this year, it actually made it easier for me to I lose weight and instead I sat in the couch eating nachos everyday.

| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 11:22 AM PST Hey everyone! I am 17, female, and 213 pounds... I have been overweight my entire life and crossed the 200-pound mark over quarantine (cry). Before, I was 183 pounds and on my school's rowing team. I know how good it feels to lose weight and feel healthy... I was happier and more confident. Though it is not an excuse, I feel very insecure to work out around my family and obviously, I can't be anywhere else than home at the moment. But I want to lose weight so I can be proud of myself and be confident when I go to college next year. I plan on working out in my basement and adjusting my eating habits... I am guilt of emotional eating haha. But that's all! I just wanted to introduce myself and my goals! :D [link] [comments] |

| Not proud of weight loss accomplishment? Posted: 25 Dec 2020 01:39 AM PST SW: 384 CW: 243 GW: 220 (for now?). Hello, I started my weight loss journey last September. I started with counting calories, added intermittent fasting a few months later and then transitioned into keto 10 months ago. While everyone around me is amazed and proud of what I've done, for some reason I cannot step back and take a look at myself to be proud of what I've done. A part of me is scared that I'll go back to where I was weight-wise, I'm also nervous that this is all temporary and I could go back to where I was before I started my weight loss journey. Maybe I'm also kind of in shock as to what I've done and don't want to face it? My wife has joined me in my journey and has lost 60 pounds herself. I should be proud of all of this but for some reason I'm not. Could it also be that I'm not satisfied until I get to my current goal weight? What do you guys think? Sorry for the rambling! TLDR; Lost 140 pounds but don't feel proud of my accomplishments due to either denial that it happened or fear of losing focus and returning to my starting weight. [link] [comments] |

| Has anyone used Ring Fit Adventure to stay active/lose weight? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:55 PM PST I have been thinking about getting this game for a while and finally ordered it. I have been looking for ways to stay active during quarantine and have mostly been doing strength workouts but want a fun way to do cardio too and this game seemed like a good way to do that. With the new year coming up I want to be more active even if its inside and im excited to try this game! I may also do challenges for myself like playing daily for 30 days straight and seeing what progress I make. Has anyone played this game? Id love to hear any thoughts, also if anyone else also plays this game or is also about to start maybe we can start a group or be buddies and hold eachother accountable! [link] [comments] |
| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Friday, 25 December 2020? Start here! Posted: 25 Dec 2020 02:24 AM PST Today is your Day 1? Welcome to r/Loseit! So you aren't sure of how to start? Don't worry! "How do I get started?" is our most asked question. r/Loseit has helped our users lose over 1,000,000 recorded pounds and these are the steps that we've found most useful for getting started. Why you're overweightOur bodies are amazing (yes, yours too!). In order to survive before supermarkets, we had to be able to store energy to get us through lean times, we store this energy as adipose fat tissue. If you put more energy into your body than it needs, it stores it, for (potential) later use. When you put in less than it needs, it uses the stored energy. The more energy you have stored, the more overweight you are. The trick is to get your body to use the stored energy, which can only be done if you give it less energy than it needs, consistently. Before You StartThe very first step is calculating your calorie needs. You can do that HERE. This will give you an approximation of your calorie needs for the day. The next step is to figure how quickly you want to lose the fat. One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of fat per week you will need to consume 500 calories less than your TDEE (daily calorie needs from the link above). 750 calories less will result in 1.5 pounds and 1000 calories is an aggressive 2 pounds per week. TrackingHere is where it begins to resemble work. The most efficient way to lose the weight you desire is to track your calorie intake. This has gotten much simpler over the years and today it can be done right from your smartphone or computer. r/loseit recommends an app like MyFitnessPal, Loseit! (unaffiliated), or Cronometer. Create an account and be honest with it about your current stats, activities, and goals. This is your tracker and no one else needs to see it so don't cheat the numbers. You'll find large user created databases that make logging and tracking your food and drinks easy with just the tap of the screen or the push of a button. We also highly recommend the use of a digital kitchen scale for accuracy. Knowing how much of what you're eating is more important than what you're eating. Why? This may explain it. Creating Your DeficitHow do you create a deficit? This is up to you. r/loseit has a few recommendations but ultimately that decision is yours. There is no perfect diet for everyone. There is a perfect diet for you and you can create it. You can eat less of exactly what you eat now. If you like pizza you can have pizza. Have 2 slices instead of 4. You can try lower calorie replacements for calorie dense foods. Some of the communities favorites are cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash in place of their more calorie rich cousins. If it appeals to you an entire dietary change like Keto, Paleo, Vegetarian. The most important thing to remember is that this selection of foods works for you. Sustainability is the key to long term weight management success. If you hate what you're eating you won't stick to it. ExerciseIs NOT mandatory. You can lose fat and create a deficit through diet alone. There is no requirement of exercise to lose weight. It has it's own benefits though. You will burn extra calories. Exercise is shown to be beneficial to mental health and creates an endorphin rush as well. It makes people feel awesome and has been linked to higher rates of long term success when physical activity is included in lifestyle changes. Crawl, Walk, RunIt can seem like one needs to make a 180 degree course correction to find success. That isn't necessarily true. Many of our users find that creating small initial changes that build a foundation allows them to progress forward in even, sustained, increments. AcceptanceYou will struggle. We have all struggled. This is natural. There is no tip or trick to get through this though. We encourage you to recognize why you are struggling and forgive yourself for whatever reason that may be. If you overindulged at your last meal that is ok. You can resolve to make the next meal better. Do not let the pursuit of perfect get in the way of progress. We don't need perfect. We just want better. Additional resourcesNow you're ready to do this. Here are more details, that may help you refine your plan.

| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 11:47 AM PST According to some calculators, I (18M) am at my ideal weight and stuff but I don't really like my body. I'm a skinny fat type and I hate it. I want to exercise, but at the same time, I don't want to. I mean, I hate exercise. I understand it's good for your health but I can't really get motivated to actually do it. I tried going to the gym, playing basketball, football... etc, but I always quit after some time because I get bored, or just ended up hating everything. I almost became depressed because of how much I loathe exercising. And the pandemic didn't help. The only "exercise" I had in the last few years was walking to university/home. Now that everything is virtual, I spent the entire year sitting on the computer, studying a fucking lot. That obviously didn't do any good for my health. I figured I could go jogging every once in a while, but masks are obligatory and I read that it's more difficult to workout with a mask. I'm a little "scared" of exercising at home, because I might be doing some posture wrong, and then get the aches. I don't want to like exercise. I just want to not care when I do it. What can I do?

| Anyone have trouble keeping a wardrobe throughout their weightloss journey? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 01:38 PM PST So, my wardrobe has been a hard thing to keep and come by throughout my weightloss journey. I started around wearing at the largest a 4XL and now I'm starting to fitting into Larges depending on the brand. Since I'm finally getting close to my goal weight, I've been a bit more self conscious of my apparel. All my clothes are just way too big now and it doesn't look good on me. I used to love baggy clothing when I was weighing more than I did but now, I appreciate an actual good fitting piece of apparel. There have been instances where I bought a nice piece of clothing and then a month or so later it doesn't fit. My main question is for those who went through a massive change in weight, what did you do about getting clothes that fit you NOW. Are there any good stores that sell decent clothing? I'm literally running out of any decent clothes to wear and I dont want to spend a fortune on clothes that won't fit me in the next few months. [link] [comments] |
| For all the ex-obese people out there. Posted: 24 Dec 2020 04:52 AM PST My english is not the best, but I will try to make this as good as I can. So an ex obese person here! Went from 286 pounds to 176 pounds in a little over a year and half. Recently I've been getting attention from alot of women, even the women that rejected me back when I was obese. And I'm having very bad thoughts. Things like "When I used to be fat you didn't like me but now you do? Fuck off". And I know this is a very bad thought to have, but for some reason I can't shake this feeling. The girl I had a HUGE crush on now even started messaging me to hang out sometime. And I really don't know how to react. I feel like I should ignore this feeling, but for some reason I can't shake it and it's eating me from inside. My question to you all who are/were in this similar mindset, how did you get through it? Did you go to therapy, talk to family? I know this is a bad thought to have and I would really like some advice. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Dec 2020 12:42 AM PST Hi everyone! I am just curious if there are any tightening treatments you have found to be successful after losing a significant amount of weight. I lost 100lbs 10 years ago and have kept it off. I would love to have a tummy tuck as well as an arm lift; however, my husband has concerns over appearance of scars and the vanity of it. He feels I look beautiful the way I am (he met me and married when when I weighted 100+ pounds more). I really want the tummy tuck (I won't be getting pregnant again as I am nearing 40), but he thinks the scar will be very unsightly. Those of you with lose skin can you comment either way? I thought about just the arm lift, but he seemed concerned with that as well. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 07:30 AM PST I have often welcomed those who have lost 100+ lbs (~ 50 kg , ~7 stone) to "the club" and joked that club meetings were on Thursdays. I recently suggested that we try out having a regular weekly thread to talk about issues that are particular to those who have lost 100+ lbs, those who are well on their way and those who are just at the beginning of a journey this big. Welcome back to the Century Club! Each week I will provide a topic of the day that has been on my mind or inspired by previous posts. However you are free to talk about any topics you think might be relevant to current and prospective club members. Previous topics: Celebrating your success - Secondary Goals - The Unthinkable - Giving Thanks - Visualization - Eating Out - Top Concern - Holidays - 2020 - Changes - Weakness - What did you miss? - seasons - Funny Stories - Schedules - Fun - Health - Exercise - Denial - Headwinds - Streaks - Other People - Toolkit - Breaks - Support - Clothing - The Unexpected - Self-image - How do you end your journey? - What made it click? - Loose Skin Today's Topic: Merry Christmas At Christmas our thoughts turn to family, friends, big reunions and large meals. Since we are more isolated from our friends and family this year and season than ever in recent memory with travel and big gatherings on hold while the pandemic continues to rage on, my thoughts have turned a bit more fanciful. I am blessed to have my two teenage sons with me for the rest of the week, for our last Christmas together before they are both young adults in college. My partner will be joining us for dinner tonight and a good time will be had by all. So here's my question for the day. You wake up with the powers of Santa Claus and can travel the world in the blink of an eye and deliver gifts to all the fellow humans who are desperately trying to lose weight. The one catch. You can only deliver the same item to everyone. What item would you choose to give to all the losers around the world? My choice would be a nice hardbound copy of the Hacker's Diet book by John Walker. https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/ It is not a perfect book, but every time I re-read portions of it I appreciate it more and more as I have come to many of the same conclusions as the author has w.r.t. weight management. It's not an essential read, but a great reference manual for turning your life around from fat to fit. So what about you Centurion Santa? What gift would you bring to all our fellow weight managers on this Christmas in 2020? A different book? Some device? An app? What's one thing that you think needs to be widely available that would help others on their journey... Since Thursday next week will be New Year's Eve, I have already chosen my topic for next week and will share it with you in advance so you can think about what you are going to post next week. "What's your New Year's resolution for 2021?" Save it for next week, but I'd live to hear what you're planning! [link] [comments] |
| I want to change my relationship with food, has anyone got any resources? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:21 AM PST I'm a 20 year old male, I'm 6ft 2 and at my lowest weighed 16st 2lbs probably more 17st 8lbs at the moment, I've lost about 5st total I've narrowed my recent gain down to a negative relationship with food, I tend to lean on food too much I see food more as a punishment and reward rather than as a fuel. Do any thing good or bad that happens or how I feel means that I go straight to eating. This isn't good for weight lose of my mental health Id like to know if anyone has found anything similar and of they have, have you got any books, speeches, podcasts, videos or any other resources that share tips, advice and motivation to stop or help deal with eating emotions and change my relationship with food [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:16 AM PST Tl;dr - Motivated 180lb male (5'5") looking for an accountability buddy or mentor w/ similar stats to share weight loss journey. DM me and let's connect on how to help reach our goals! Hey everyone! I'm thankful for this community and I'm trying to get in the habit of sharing more on here. (In the spirit of renewed motivation, I created a new account.) Having gone from 180lbs down to 160lbs over multiple cycles, I find myself near 180lbs again. Many of the successful stories on here as well as my past successes have a common theme of integrating an accountability system (friend, nutritionist, etc.) So I'm looking to connect with a buddy or mentor from this community who once started or is currently starting in the same range of personal stats. Open to weekly check-ins, recipe/workout trades, one-time advice on a cadence that fits our schedules and accountability needs. A little more about my weight loss journey - I've had a strong connection to food since I was young and I find much joy in eating (mostly eating out with friends but also binging alone). With such an emotional attachment to food, I've begun to realize I have an unhealthy relationship with eating and I'm looking to really examine and resolve this issue. When I turned 20, I signed up for a personal trainer and this helped me learn the basics of exercise and dropped my weight down to 160lbs with disciplined eating during the week. I gained the weight back in a year of college and had another round of dropping to 160lbs and gaining it back. I'm now at a point where I actually enjoy working out/being active, and I like the thought of healthy meals. But I also still love all the unhealthy foods and haven't left my bad eating habits behind me. I intend to track calories daily on MFP and build new habits of exercise while deconstructing my bad habits of binging junk food. If you find yourself in a relatable position, let's connect and help each other reach our goals! Here's to a healthier you, me, and community! Let's get it! [link] [comments] |
| I don’t know how to maintain a calorie deficit? Posted: 24 Dec 2020 12:36 PM PST Hey. I've been trying to lose weight for a year now and the scale hasn't budged even once. Currently I'm 152cm and weigh 53kg. It may not seem like a lot, but I've been trying to drop like 5kg. So I can maintain a healthy bmi and gravitate away from the nearly overweight side. According to the TDEE, my maintenance calories are approximately 1400 per day. This means to even be at a 500 calorie deficit, I should be eating 900 calories a day. But, I'm finding this really hard. I feel like just a slice of brown bread and some eggs adds up to nearly 300 calories. I can never stay in a deficit. Does anyone have any tips on how to maintain a deficit? In particular how to eat 800-900 calories a day? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 24 Dec 2020 10:30 PM PST I am exercising for 20 minutes everyday, doing planks, crunches, push ups and mountain climbers. I am quite disciplined in not eating food and can starve upto 48 hours. But as far as I am reading every latest research paper says it's counterintuitive and would decrease the metabolic rate which in turn would slow down my fat loss. My main goal is not to lose weight but decrease the fat, mainly in the abdomen. I know that spot fat reduction is not true (unless it's surgery). I am willing to chose unhealthy ways to lose weight quickly. The problem is I live with my parents and my mother cooks for us. I am not able to count calories and my mother often cooks unhealthy items as they are not concerned about their weight. They are discouraging me to lose fat. Saying I don't need it. But I want to get rid of the fat. I am also willing to cook for myself provided that it be easy (don't mind if it tastes bad). Also I don't have a scale for weighing the food I cook, can't buy one either. My main question is how much calories should I eat for maximum fat loss? [link] [comments] |
