    Pet Peeve: People who do not mention their heights when talking about their weight loss. ��

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 03:30 PM PST

    I love this subreddit, it is by far my favorite and you people are awesome. That being said, I was in the top post right now "Embarrassed to tell people I've lost weight" and as motivational as it was, I get a bit peeved when people do not mention their height.

    Someone who is 6'3" and losing 50lbs is going to be different than someone who is 5'0"....so when someone writes "Don't worry people only noticed a difference when I lost 75 lbs", the question is, how tall were you? This makes a world of difference because if you mention your height, then someone can estimate the BMI difference and calculate, perhaps, when people might notice their weight loss.

    Same logic applies if someone lost 100lbs when their SW was 500lbs, compared to someone who was 250lbs....if someone writes "it took me 8 months", well wait, what was your SW? You had a faster metabolism and weight comes off differently, in general, depending on your height/weight.

    I’m officially under 200lb...

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 01:38 PM PST

    While I don't notice too much change in my body yet, I can't help but feel proud.

    Last month, I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes, which served as a wake up call for me to get my health in check.

    I've since cut out sugars and carbs, and have been focusing more on vegetables and protein. I plan to incorporate cardio and strength training into my daily routine, starting with walking once a day and some light weightlifting every other day.

    I've hovered above 200lb for the past two years, and earlier this year, I hit 225lb, the heaviest I've ever been.

    Today, I just weighed in at 198.4lb and plan to continue the progress. It feels so good to see a number starting with 1 instead of 2 on the scale after so long 😭

    I've never felt this motivated to lose it, and I aim to stay the course!

    Edit: Adding my height, as I heard it's useful information - I'm 5'5".

    Thanks, everyone, for the encouraging words!!!

    Embarrassed to tell people I’ve lost weight

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 04:25 AM PST

    On June 23rd I weighed 366 pounds and as of this morning I was 275. Because of COVID you don't really see people as much as you used to, and as such I thought my weight loss would be more obvious. To this point I've had two different people ask me "where are you losing weight?" Implying that they can't tell when they look at me, once at 60lbs and once at 80lbs. Is that normal? I realize I was super morbidly obese and most likely very fat dense so maybe it's not so obvious but it can be disheartening as I was hoping for the "oh my god you lost a lot of weight" response. I haven't let it change my course at all, but at this point I just pretend like I'm not losing weight. For what it's worth it's all been a result of diet, I don't exercise much as even though I've lost a lot my energy levels are still pretty low.

    Fuck...it's almost all back. Venting, and a message to people who can relate

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 10:16 AM PST

    I avoided weighing myself, but I worked up the courage today.

    10 pounds away from my original weight of 200. FUCK. Years of back and forth and crying and hating myself and bursts of motivation and strength to get to 160, and I never got to see the number 159. Now I'm here.

    I am incredibly discouraged and sad at how much I have to go now. At how much I've back tracked and wouldn't stop. But I can't mope around about it or it will get worse. I decided to make a tumblr blog dedicated to track my progress. I'll post daily updates, pics of my food, weekly food logs, inspiration collages, and so on so I can have a well documented weight loss transformation and also motivation and accountability. I hope this helps.

    I start today, right now, at 5'2 190lbs.

    To anyone who has back tracked incredibly, or even a little and feels stuck like they can't get back on the wagon or devastated that they "ruined" there progress, start RIGHT NOW. I know it feels like because you already fucked up you may as well make this the final eat whatever day but that's not going to work. Drop it, track what you can, and try to track everything else you eat for the rest of the day. The calories don't matter today, don't worry that you already blew the amount youre supposed to have. You're tracking to prepare yourself to track what you eat tomorrow so you can do what your supposed to do to have that body and confidence you always wanted.

    Time is going to pass either way. Yes it could take months, years even to get where you want to be. And? Time is not going to stop passing by. Time didn't stop passing when we gained the weight back and it won't stop passing when we CICO it off.

    YOU GOT THIS. YOU DID IT BEFORE AND YOU SURE AS FUCK CAN DO IT AGAIN! ❤️

    45lbs down 6 months postpartum

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 09:07 PM PST

    I don't know how much we rely on BMI here, but I'm officially in the healthy weight range! I had a baby in June and was devastated by the amount of weight I had put on. I had never seen a 2 in the hundreds place before. I gained 60lb total.

    Pre-pregnancy, I had been maintaining at 150-155lbs. I'm well on my way back to that now! I think I lucked out because a lot of women say they have a hard time losing weight while breastfeeding, but I've also heard stories of women who lost all of their pregnancy weight and then some within the first few months. I don't know, every body is different and every body handles the changes differently.

    Anyway. If there's anyone who has been or is currently in my boat, tell me about yourself. It's hard to maintain a healthy mindset during all of this, especially when cutting too many calories destroys your milk supply.

    Restarting my Weightloss Journey

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 07:23 PM PST

    Back in college a few years back I reached a point where walking up stairs would wind me. I was over 200lbs (i'm 5'8") and was severely depressed. All i ever ate was bread because it required no energy, and i would only leave my bed to head to the toaster. I wish I was joking about that haha.

    One day I just kind of woke up from my depression, and I realized none of my clothes fit anymore. So i just started making lifestyle changes: I would walk to work, I would eat real foods... and I ended up dropping down to 175 just from that. I then got a gym membership and dropped to 160, and was so, so happy. I had so much energy, moved so much easier!

    Then I started dating my fiance, who's mother would overfeed me (it was really, really toxic living with them? She was hysterical over making people eat only HER food, and a lot of it). So now I'm back up to 180 and have like no muscle. Even though I lost weight once, It's like i've forgotten everything to do with fitness!

    So I'm going to start walking a bit more often, and eating more fruit and drinking water to start. I'm mostly posting this for my own accountability so I hope it's okay! I'm excited to start again, and to become healthier. :)

    Finally doing this for myself. (Content warning: Addiction)

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 07:19 PM PST

    Today was the first time I stepped on a scale or weighed myself in almost 3 years. I was 231.4 lbs... the most I have ever weighed before this was 196 lbs. I would say it came as a shock, but it didn't really. I know I have been steadily gaining weight over the past few years, and I honestly guessed that I would be 230 lbs before I stepped on the scale (which is kind of crazy tbh that I got THAT close to being accurate). So today, I decided to take my life back and signed up for Jenny Craig again.

    I've done JC in the past (about 10 years ago), and I had a lot of success with the program. Prior to this, in recent years, I have tried My Fitness Pal, WW, IF, CICO... none of it worked for me. The structure around JC is really helpful for me. I made the mistake of skipping the maintenance portion last time, and I will not be doing that again. So how did I gain all this weight? Well...

    For the last couple of years I have been in recovery for drug & alcohol addition (I have 2.5 years clean and sober). I was using drugs as a means of staying thin for a long time, and when I stopped... the weight came on like CRAZY. I tried everything. Exercise, eating healthy, etc. But when you go from not eating at all and starving yourself with stimulants to eating - your poor body thinks it's going to starve so it takes in everything it can. I rapidly gained a lot of weight and only recently slowly began to level off. I had honestly given up. I was so frustrated and sad.

    But then, recently, I flew on an airplane. I almost had to get a seatbelt extender. I couldn't put the arm wrest down on the seat next to me. I. Was. Mortified. I thought about it, and I decided I couldn't continue living like this. I have tried being active, but it hasn't helped bc it is very hard for me to be active. I had pelvic surgery in May for 3 different chronic pelvic diseases so the most I can do is walk. AND BOY HAVE I BEEN WALKING. But my 3 mile walks I often take really hurt my ankles because of all the weight I am carrying.

    I'm really looking forward to taking back my life when it comes to looking and feeling healthy again. I hope to be able to eventually jog/run. I tried recently, but it's just too hard on my joints right now. I have a goal to lose 70 lbs which would put me at 160 lbs (I'm 5'7''). I really am excited. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by doing this, and I'm looking forward to this journey. If you read all of this, thank you. I need some support.

    Below 300 for the first time in my adult life!!

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 07:42 AM PST

    25F, starting 350. I weighed in 299 after 6 months of weight loss and a month of an irritating plateau. I was 240ish when I was 16/17, but I'm pretty sure when I moved out at 19, mental illness and undiagnosed ADHD hit me HARD and I got to 300 probably within six months. I still have unmanaged ADHD, but it's been diagnosed now, and I have a brain condition called Chiari Malformation that restricts my activity and causes migraines, along with BPD, PTSD, an eating disorder, and PCOS. It's taken me years to find something that works for me (CICO and IF, not restricting ANY foods, just portions, minor exercise first few months, then nothing due to migraines, now I'm exercising every day), but I have and I'm only going to keep going.

    51lbs and counting. I'm really proud of myself after fighting hard and being so miserable. The journey is long but I'm so glad I managed to find a way on it.

    30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 7

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 06:30 PM PST

    Hello losers,

    Happy Monday. I hope yours was filled with song & dance. Mine had a song that no one liked, I'm pretty sure I booed.

    Self care action everyday: Morning skin care routine on point.

    Weight: Not this morning.

    Stay within calorie range (maintain at 2000 ish): Not fabulous today.

    Exercise 5 days a week: Rest day. 4/7 days.

    Self-care journaling (once a week, 60 minutes): Yep. Not as enjoyable as I'd like it to be but I'm sure it was good for me. 1/1 week.

    Try a new recipe once a week: Nothing yet, ordering up some new veggies to try roasting. X/X weeks

    Express gratitude, mindfulness or HOLIDAY CHEER: I ordered wrapping paper & it's only 12 inches wide & I laughed very hard at myself.

    Your turn!

    Second day back on the wagon

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 09:49 PM PST

    Outside of the pandemic this has been a really tough year, and I'm starting to try to get my life back together and on schedule. The whole year I've been trying to get back into the swing of CICO, but it just hasn't been working, thankfully I maintained the 75 pound weight loss, but I really wanted more progress by now.

    It's hard to not be mad at myself over the fact that I could've been at my goal by now. I'm trying to keep my thoughts positive and remind myself that I need to be doing this for the right reasons. Hating myself isn't going to be the lifestyle change that makes weight loss manageable.

    I think I'm just posting this as something to keep me going on the path I want to be on. Hopefully I'll hear back from some people going through the same troubles. I'm just feeling discouraged.

    Should I take a break today and start over tomorrow?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 03:00 PM PST

    17F, 62 in, SW: 160lbs CW: 143lbs So I am currently PMSing and usually my period symptoms are strong during this time frame including cravings. Today I really just wanna give in and eat what I want without counting calories. I already allow myself to eat anything within my deficit but I'm still just having cravings and if I eat more I'll probably go over my deficit today. I've also been in a plateau for around 3 weeks now. Should I just give in today and start fresh tomorrow? I know that I might feel bad about it after (physically and mentally) but I think if I do it I might be less tempted by my cravings and the thought of eating lots of food. I did struggle with overeating/binging in the past but I've gained a lot of self-control and most of the time can hop back on track after a day or two of overeating. If you have any advice feel free to share!

    Am I being lazy or do I actually need rest?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 07:34 PM PST

    How can you tell the difference? Since the summer I've been pretty consistent with my walking and exercise classes but for the past 5 days or so I haven't done anything active at all. Partly using the cold weather as an excuse but I've also felt sorta fatigued like I slept 12 hours per night this weekend. But I don't have any other symptoms of being sick besides fatigue. Before I started exercising and losing weight it wasn't uncommon for me to feel this way and sleep that much so it's hard to tell if I'm falling into old habits or actually coming down with something.

    I know that weight loss is mostly what you eat but I've really missed the extra calories I earn from exercise this past week so I definitely want to get back to it. I can't tell if I should trust my gut that something is off or if I should push through.

    What criteria do you use to evaluate if you're being lazy or not?

    I cried happy tears this morning.

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 07:02 AM PST

    I stepped on the scale this morning and weighed at 84.7kg (I'm 187cm tall). This is the lowest number i have ever seen on a scale... ever. I've been obese since I was a child (now 29) and i never weighed my self until we immigrated to the UK when i was 15, i had to register for a General Practitioner and they did a full round of check ups on me. When they weighed me, I was dead on 85kg, at 15.

    That number has been lingering on my mind over the past two months of my weight loss journey as i slowly approached it. I used the lockdown and the extra free time i got because I was working from home to really focus on myself and health. So far i've dropped 28kg (just a little over 60 lb) since April. I've gone through multiple "weight goal milestones" but i knew this was the big one, I thought I was ready for this moment. I've been hovering just above 85kg for about 6 days (it felt like years).

    Yesterday i weighed at 85.3kg, i thought yeah i'll probably need to cut more next week and see if i can break this plateau. Today I wake up and bam, caught me by complete fucking surprise and I was so emotionally shocked that I just started bowling my eyes out.

    it really does feel like I took the weight of the whole world off my shoulders, whoever of you is struggling out there with their weight loss, i can tell you as someone who made it to the other side it is so fucking worth all the joint pain, the constant fatigue, every cake missed, every takeout not ordered, every slice of pizza you don't eat. It's all fucking worth it, i look back at the times i failed before and reverted into eating like shit and i feel like i was the dumbest person on earth chasing the slightest dopamine hits from stuffing his face with food. It's a genuinely liberating feeling when you're no longer controlled by your impulses. I'm not stopping anytime soon, i've shifted my focus to body building and still got some "stubborn" fat to lose, i feel like a permanent switch flipped in my head and it ain't flipping back.

    26(M) 350lbs 5"10"

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 08:04 PM PST

    Guys I need help. 1 year ago I was 367 and I lost about 45lbs. After covid hit, gyms closed I went off my diet multiple things in my life happened and stress went through the roof. I'm now back up to 350 and for some reason this time I can't get myself workout. The times I do I cramp up from walking, or lose my steam in exercises. I'm currently doing IF 16:8 and staying under 2000 calories a day. I've cut out red meat, sugar and salt because the doctor says I have metabolic syndrome.

    Please if you have any advice or tips on exercises for people over 300lbs to help Kickstart the motivation again id greatly appreciate it

    Edit: also im a truck driver who is over the road 6days and home only a day and a half most times. I drive for 11hrs a day

    Am I delusional?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 04:13 PM PST

    About 6 years ago I started really getting into improving my running. It was a slow work in progress but I was getting better and better. It was very exciting and I craved working out. I began losing weight. I never became what I considered thin but I reached 140lbs. Looking back I was at a pretty good weight. I'm 5'5" female. I definitely battled body dysmorphia. My Levi jeans were a size 6. My diet was terrible. I was still depressed so I tried to sleep as much as possible in order not to eat. I have a binge issue. I ended up rolling my ankle two times. After the first time I tried running again and I guess I took a sharp turn and rolled it again. I stopped running. It just wasn't habitual anymore. It took those 6 years up to this point for me to gain weight and now I'm at 213lbs. The only good thing I have going on for myself is I've been consistent to workout two times a week weight training. I'm just now really getting into running again. It feels so freakin difficult. I'm also a heavy smoker. I had quit before when I got into running and I'm using running again to quit. I still have slip ups but instantly regret it because I can't breathe. Anyway, my problem now is I'm trying to make it healthy lifestyle changes and I don't want to encourage myself into any ED eating habits. I already have to break the binge eating. I'm not seeing much change and it's proving to be a slow work in progress to change my mentality and habits. I just need encouragement. I've lost weight before but not necessarily in the healthiest way. I'm trying to do it this time by really changing my ways permanently. I have a lot of muscle build but it's underneath fat. Idk. I kinda feel like it's impossible but I'm trudging away at it. Thanks for reading.

    Losing weight has helped me gain a lot

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 02:54 PM PST

    I'm about 16 lbs from my goal weight (140)! I'm about 156 now down from 195 and I'm just really excited and finally feel proud of myself. I've been overweight since I was about 11 and have had image issues and major insecurity problems my whole life. Finally I can look in the mirror and like what I see but more importantly I feel like I can finally see myself beyond my image. I overlooked who I was as a person and the good qualities that I possess and have to offer because I was so obsessed with the way I looked.

    I still have a bit to go and my journey hasn't been easy and has been lined with many emotional nights and weeks of slip-ups but I'm feeling really optimistic about the future and everything I can accomplish. I've never had this much motivation in my whole life. Today's a good day. :)

    Gym closed, made a new plan, looking for tips/advice!

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 10:13 PM PST

    Hey everyone. I made a new workout to hopefully do daily and am looking for info/tips on how to improve it! I've been looking into new workout plans for a while and I made this one with all equipment I have at home since the gym near my closed due to COVID.

    Workout: https://www.groupbeast.com/workout/5f63e9deb6fa3b0017468fc6

    Hoping to turn this into something I do daily each morning and build it into my routine...

    Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! If you have any great at home or bodyweight exercises I would love to hear them since I am always looking to try out new exercises. I find having new exercises to splice into my routines makes the workouts more enjoyable...

    Help, I have a soda addiction!

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 09:50 PM PST

    Hey guys! I have a soda addiction and didn't know how bad it was until 2 days ago when I tried to cut it off cold turkey. I'm used to drinking a 2-liter bottle by myself on a single day. Mind you, it's regular soda (coca cola). So, 2 days ago I decided I wanted to stop because this is obviously hurting my weight loss efforts... then the "symptoms" kicked in. I had a migraine, an intense headache that 'rattled' my brain every time I moved, my teeth hurt, had no energy, felt depressed, and felt like I was sick with the flu. I got really scared thinking I had gotten the Coronavirus, got tested, and negative. And then I drank a can of soda (12 oz) AND ALL THE SYMPTOMS WENT AWAY IN A MATTER OF MINUTES!!!!!

    I know I need to quit but I want to make it "easier" in a way that the symptoms for withdrawal are not so intense so I don't end up quitting. I feel like a junky and don't know what to do.

    Have anyone of you passed through this already?? Any feedback? I want to hear your story. Any advice will be deeply appreciated.

    Food scales really do help

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 09:13 PM PST

    I (18F, 5'5", 128lbs) started my workout journey back on September 26th. I was about 138lbs then. It took me a few weeks to actually start losing due to eating too close to maintenance. Therefore, I lowered it to ~1575ish I think. I forget how much I started at. I never used a food scale. I was just guessing and eyeballing my food for the most part, trying to use measuring cups and whatnot for TWO MONTHS. I got a scale about a week ago. I realized that I lost 10lbs eating probably at about 1700 or maybe even a little more everyday. I was not loosing exactly a pound per week, it was probably more like .6-.8. However, the fact that I was eating so much more and still losing weight is like so ironically funny to me and I just wanted to share. Now I'm actually eating at 1400-1500 and I think I'm losing a little more per week now. Though, it has only been a week. Just kind of proud of myself for still losing so much while eating way more than I should have!! Now I might have to assess my calories tho and eat a little more lol. Oh well!!

    Encouraging health for sister?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 09:03 PM PST

    Hi! In a few weeks, I will be spending a few weeks with my younger sister. I'm excited, but she's really struggling with health right now. We both have depression and anxiety, which makes it hard for her to cook and do physical activity. She sleeps most of the day and only eats processed foods.

    I would love to cook for her/do some light exercise, but how do I encourage her to join me and make it fun? I have some really good recipes to try, but she's used to Americana, casserole, noodle dishes. I'm not buying anything processed but there's already some there, so her options are 1. eat processed foods by herself until she runs out 2. eat my foods, or at least a combination of 1 and 2. She is also a proponent of intuitive eating (very anti-diet, she won't really listen to "health" talk even when framed well and out of concern, not contempt), which has caused her to overeat greatly the past few months. This makes it hard for her to find the motivation to exercise, too.

    I just don't want to be pushy because I've also struggled with weight/health, but she needs the push - at this point, it's unlikely she'll find the discipline on her own. (I say that as someone who wanted help for years but eventually found it myself.) And I just want to help her get back to her old self, have the energy to enjoy things like she used to. What can I say/do to help her? TIA! :)

    Just go out for a walk, it could be enough

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 09:47 AM PST

    For some of you starting your journey reading about different types of exercises that are best for exercise can be a little bit overwhelming and if you're finding it hard to move or find exercise routine just go out for a walk. Every day. Just go out and walk 30 minutes in one direction and then walk back. Something as simple and easy as just one hour of walking daily along with balanced diet can get you the results you want. You don't have to run marathons, do CrossFit, lift heavy weights, do HIITs or tabata or any of those things. Just take it easy without complicating too much. Walking is easy, simple and low impact exercise with a minimum risk of injuries, and if your are persistent it will get you to your goal weight. One hour of walking is minimum of around 300 calories burned. If you do it every day it adds up pretty quickly. Also, it's great for your mental health as well so there's another bonus to it. As you get more comfortable or get more information you might add some other exercises to your daily routine. I've done it just by walking (lost over 50lbs) and only after I reached my goal weight I started cycling, lifting and whatnot, but to be honest I could have stuck to just walking and I would've been fine.

    Help Losing Weight

    What got you the motivation to lose weight? I get a boost of motivation and then a week or two later it dies down and I stop doing whatever I do. I used to go to the gym but lost my gym buddy then stopped, tried walking & counting calories during lockdown and then stopped after almost 2 weeks of taking a break due to horrible blisters and then tried to do Ring Fit on the Switch then stopped after a week.

    Idk what I need to do to get motivated. I'm 5'5 at 200 pounds and I wanna drop to about 160-170 to just feel healthy again. I dropped from 220-200 after quitting my job in March and not eating at a mall food court every day but whenever I did any of the above I barely moved off of 200.

    How do I stop binging?

    Posted: 07 Dec 2020 10:15 PM PST

    I'm a 19 yo guy, and I managed to lose around 20 kgs or more from June to September going from around 76 kgs to 56 kgs (even though I started dieting and exercising not as regularly since the beginning of the pandemic). I did so by eating only one healthy meal a day (even though I didn't prohibit myself from any food) and doing HIIT, which was difficult but got used to it more or less.

    Then life happened, and I had my first binge due to stress after so many months this October (used to binge from stress or failing with dieting before June, so my relationship with food hasn't been the healthiest since I don't know when).

    These binges got more and more frequent, especially from when I decided to fast the day after a horrible binge due to being sick from all the food, creating a horrible fast-binge cycle for me up to today.

    I've tried going back to my previous lifestyle of one meal a day (which probably lasted too long and I should have switched before this happened), doing the same HIIT twice a day too, so I can shed off the few extra kgs I think I gained until the end of the year, but it always ends up with a binge after more than 2 days.

    I feel lost since I thought I had left all of this behind and whatever binge urges I might have had were all due to heavy restriction and special occasion tempting foods. Any advice is much appreciated, either for stopping or just on what do the day afterwards.
