| Posted: 26 Dec 2020 09:24 AM PST As a counter-point to the other post, Christmas is not "OVER" for many of us. We are still celebrating with family, or live in countries where the celebrations continue for the rest of the week, or we just had plans to give ourselves a break in the time between Christmas and New Year. Relax. It's okay. Weight loss is a life-long skill, not something that can be put off track by one week of bad eating. Even if you eat an extra 2000 calories PER DAY on top of your maintenance, you'll only gain 4 lbs in one week. That would not be the end of the world. And most of us won't even eat that much. So if you are still celebrating Christmas, relax, enjoy, be mindful, and come back here in January to get back on the weight loss train! [link] [comments] |
| Only 97 more pounds remaining to become overweight! W00t!! Posted: 26 Dec 2020 03:49 PM PST Ok, maybe some context might help lol.. Salutations from Sunny Greece. I'm George. I quit smoking cold-turkey about 9 months ago. I was a chain smoker, doing about 55-60 cigarettes a day, averaged over 25 years (started smoking at 15). Also, I was (and still am of course) morbidly obese, and suffering from a lot of health issues (had a stroke five years ago, high blood pressure, pre-diabetic etc etc). In the span of one month since I quit, I gained 9kg (~20lb), I presume exclusively consisting of fat. I managed to reach 178kg (392lb), the heaviest I've ever been. There were four reasons for this.
And then I thought..."well, you managed to quit smoking and take care of your lungs dude, why don't you take care of the rest of your body now?" I've been the classic yo-yo dieter for 15 years now, and looking back, I think I always tended to half-*kitten* it and not take myself and my body seriously. Time for a change! Eight months in, I've lost those 20 pounds I gained and then 91 more for good measure. I'm 280lb now, and have a long, long, loooooong road ahead of me to fix myself. I'll do it though, nothing is going to stop me. And I'm going to have fun on the way too! This time I'm sciencing the *kitten* out of this. I pity that poor fat, it has no chance! None I tell you! So...why did I make this thread? Well, not really to gloat or bask in my own glory for...still being morbidly obese. I just wanted to say, it's pretty weird sometimes what triggers us into action. Under other circumstances (and having gained or lost close to half a ton in my lifetime lol), the thought of quitting smoking and gaining weight was utterly and completely terrifying! But really...it was in the end what helped me sprung into action. And I really think that this time I can make it to the end! Good luck everyone ! Every support or motivation you need, know that me and others are here for you. Let's do this!! [link] [comments] |
| PSA: It’s okay to throw out the “fun holiday food” now Posted: 26 Dec 2020 02:45 PM PST Frugal mom who just needed to hear it (and tell my own mom)- if you're worried you're going to keep "celebrating" till Jan 1, throw away the food and pour out the booze and corn syrupy egg nog now. I am, so I have been. It's helping me to avoid both FOMO and storm eating. One last bite, then in the trash it all goes. I heard it said best on a podcast recently- wasting your life on these foods is way worse than wasting the leftovers, themselves. Obviously, if the fun foods can go to a good home, send them! Or if you're doing a great job self-monitoring/maintaining/sticking to plan, this obviously is not your PSA. But for my fellow revellers, don't keep eating cookies for breakfast and three rounds of tamales for lunch and dinner just because they're in your face. It was lovely to feast, but the birthday party's over, y'all. Jan 1 is a full SIX days from now. Don't wait till then to get back into the swing of things! <3 [link] [comments] |
| I'm sorry but I just have to share this Posted: 26 Dec 2020 12:25 PM PST In February of 2020 I was 220 lb and wore a 1x, size 16 pants. I am 5'3 and 33-year-old female. In February I was beyond miserable. I had only been fat for about three years, before that I always weighed 120 to 140. I just lost control when something happened to me and the weight piled on. Eating 1250 calories a day and sometimes also calories burned through exercise I have lost well, I'm 156 now. I feel like a totally different person, my attitude toward everything especially myself has completely changed and people honestly but sadly treat me differently. Better. The reason I wanted to post though was because I just went shopping with some Christmas money and I guess I accidentally grabbed a small off of the medium rack and a sweater I liked and I will try it on and it fit. I mean going from being fat in the beginning of the year to having a size small sweater legitimately fit me is like, You have no idea. I'm so freaking happy I keep posting pictures on Facebook and everyone is just kind of like oh my God stop you're so annoying and full of yourself. I don't really have that many friends anyway. but compared to how I looked before I look absolutely amazing and I think the whole transition and the work put in is amazing and I'm just so proud of myself I can't hold it in. I know I still have a long way to go. Might go away is 130 but I am certain I will get there by my birthday in July if not sooner. Keep it up everyone! Miracles do happen with work!

| Body positivity / diet culture. Where’s the balance?? Posted: 26 Dec 2020 09:52 PM PST I'm so conflicted. I want to lose weight. I need to lose weight. I have always been overweight as long as I can remember. I have insecurities, but overall I am confident and comfortable in my body. It has gotten to a point where my weight is getting in the way of things I want to do, travel, sports, etc. I have gained some weight and it has impacted my fitness lately. I'm so torn on it though. I feel like everyone is shoving body positivity down my throat. I am in a place where I am confident and I feel like it's a betrayal to my self love to watch what I eat and try to lose some weight. How do I rationalize these things?? [link] [comments] |
| Did you wake up to a bigger number on the scale today?? READ THIS!!! Posted: 26 Dec 2020 08:25 AM PST I myself woke up to a 6 pound increase on the scale today. . I genuinely feel concern over the, probably millions, of people struggling with holiday weight gain. I wonder just how many of those people now feel shame or guilt over the huge weight gain they may have woken up to today. How much higher the number is on the scale, or how much fluffier their tummy looks. When in all reality it's all an illusion. An illusion in the form of water weight. . Now I am not a dilatation, or a health coach or anything on that spectrum. I am just on my own weight loss journey, and I have picked up a thing or two. I have learned so much about the absolute mind F**K of weight loss and the complete BS that is out there and this is one of them, a BIG ONE!! . WATER WEIGHT, learn it, love it, deal with it!!!!!! To begin with, you need to understand that water normally makes up 50 to 60 percent of an adult's total body weight. Now, often times our body holds on to even more than it should, that is referred to as "water weight." Typically, the kidneys do a great job of flushing out our system of unnecessary fluids. However once in a while the body retains this fluid and it can build up in our cells, tissues, and in-between the skin and organs. This extra weight, will make a difference, you can sometimes see it, that puffiness, it is really just bloat from all that extra water. That number on the scale, again, extra fluids add up. We, in general fluctuate the amount of water weight we have causing the scale to go up or down daily, on average between 2-5 pounds. Add in extra water wight, that could go up maybe even 10 pounds. . The problem is, extra water weight is caused by a number of things. All typically found around the Holidays…… Sodium, I think we all know this one, but the why is this. When we eat too much sodium, AKA salt, the kidneys specifically hold on to the water it has to help dilute or correct that salty imbalance. Sugar increases your insulin levels which actually decreases the body's ability to secrete that sodium. Carbs gives us energy, however any energy that we do not need right away is stored as glycogen molecules. And each gram of those comes with 3 grams of water. So, more carbs = more water. Alcohol! not only does alcohol have all of the above, but it also acts as a diuretic which leads to dehydration. When the body becomes worried that it is not getting enough water, it starts to save up what it already has. Water, or rather not enough water. Seems strange I know, but again, dehydration leads to the body storing water which leads to extra water weight. Stress!! When you're stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol. This triggers changes to the way that your body metabolizes sugar and energy and basically all of the above, again leading to water retention, again leading to water weight gain. . So, in conclusion to my longest post yet…. Raise your hand if over these last few days you felt stressed out, ate some sweet or salty treats, had a big celebratory meal, maybe a drink or two and did not get all of your water in… Also, step off the scale because you really didn't gain any fat. Most importantly, IT.WILL.GO.AWAY!!! . Reminder…..it takes 3500 calories above maintenance calories to gain even 1 pound of fat. So, try to relax, get back on track and enjoy the Holidays!!

| Posted: 27 Dec 2020 12:01 AM PST In August when I (f21) started to actively lose weight I was 90 kg / 189 lbs. I am only 1,69 cm / 5'6 ft, so I was considered obese. Since then I lost 8 kg / 17 lbs very steadily and since beginning of December I am no longer obese. Looking at the numbers it seems like so much should have happened, I almost lost half of what I have to lose to be considered normal weight. But still I don't see shit. My pants fit a little better but I haven't dropped a size, non of my other close fit any better than before. When I measured my waist a few weeks ago I didn't even lose a single centimeter. I took pictures of my body before and after and I can't see any difference, not even the slightest. And it's not like the fat on my body is well distributed, I am a woman and I have a prominent belly which doesn't look very feminine. I also don't see any change in my face. I also don't feel like walking has become easier, or basically anything has become easier. No one except for my mum has noticed my weight loss, but she already knew I was trying to lose weight, so yeah. This is so discouraging. How can it be that I see or feel almost nothing when I almost lost the weight of an entire car tire? [link] [comments] |

| What was the moment that inspired you to finally lose the weight? Posted: 26 Dec 2020 12:13 PM PST For me, it was last Christmas. I made an effort to look nice with hair and makeup, and put on an outfit I thought was cute. Fast forward to the end of the evening, I asked my mother to take a photo of my husband and I with our baby. It was our first Christmas and I was excited to capture the memory. She took several pictures, and every single one was worse than the last. I was so embarrassed to even look at myself knowing that that's how others saw me. I was embarrassed that my husband had to stand next to me looking the way I did. I was ashamed that my son had a fat mother who didn't care for herself. I vowed then and there that I was going to do something about it. Fast forward one year - I've lost 50lb and have another 50lb to go to reach goal weight and a healthy BMI. There have been so many ups and downs, slip-ups, and boy do I get discouraged sometimes. But I look at that photo and I'm reminded of how far I've come, and how much farther I have to go. What was your "ah-ha" moment? When did it finally click that you needed to lose the weight and keep it off? [link] [comments] |
| I'm making so much mental progress Posted: 26 Dec 2020 09:09 PM PST So, a while back I posted about struggling with my weight and the signs a possible binge eating disorder. Jury is still out as I've not gotten an official diagnosis, but I defiantly had/still have a problem. Even so, in the bit between now and then, I've begun training myself to eat only when I'm hungry and to even stop eating when I'm full. I always felt really guilty when I didn't finish food even if I felt physically sick going on. Now, I'm able to put down food even if I've only eaten a little. I don't keep chowing down till the plate is licked clean and am happy to put things aside for later. Although I, admittedly, do struggle with only eating when I'm hungry and only manage it a few times a week and not every meal, I'm still super proud of myself. Even more so considering I'm not eating pounds of snacks between meals anymore. I'm even starting to work out again! Tonight I wanted to try and do something to break into working out again and pulled up some tabata videos I used to follow. Well, after not working out for well over a year, I was able to do one for 30 minutes straight!! My body still remembers how to work out at that intensity and I'm really happy at that. I know 30 minutes isn't too much, but it's wonderful to me knowing I don't have as far to go in building back my stamina despite my weight. My weight itself hasn't changed very much. I've fluctuated up and down 5 pounds since November, but I'm very happy since it's the first time in a while that it hasn't gone completely up. To get to my final goal weight I have to lose 100 pounds and... it's daunting, but less so now that my head is catching up to my desires. I feel hope and it's all thanks to my brain training haha. I hope everyone else is seeing the progress they may not have necessarily expected but has helped them nonetheless and happy holidays! [link] [comments] |
| Weight loss is not going to happen overnight... Posted: 26 Dec 2020 05:14 PM PST This is something that I have had to come to terms with over the last fourteen months while losing 100 pounds. If you want to lose weight in a healthy way (and keep it off), it is not going to happen overnight. So many people want quick fixes to lose weight. Many of them do not realize that the quick ways to lose weight often lead into a downward spiral of losing-gaining-losing-gaining for years before they finally figure out how to keep the weight off. There was a solid three months where I didn't lose a single pound. Yes, I was very discouraged. I wanted to see the numbers continually go down like I've heard has happened for so many others. BUT. Please remember that every body is different. Do not be so hard on yourself. You will lose weight, you will gain weight and you will plateau. This is all a normal process of a weight loss journey. You've already made is so far already and I am so so proud of you. Do not be discouraged. The scale will move soon and your journey will continue. Be strong and brave, and most importantly, make today your little bitch [link] [comments] |
| Concerned about my weight loss, please help! Posted: 27 Dec 2020 01:13 AM PST Hi there everyone, I am a 22 year old male, 175cm in height nearing the end of my 8 month weight loss journey. I initially started around 78 ish kg and am now 65 kg (my goal weight). I achieved this by going on a caloric deficit of 1500 and cardio exercise which includes long distance biking (50km) per session so around 150km a week. Now that I have reached my goal weight, I did a self analysis on my body and I felt like I wanted to go lower in body weight because I still have a muffin top and fat around my lower belly area. After further research into the reddit comments this seems to be the last area to go. I am afraid of going under 65kg as I may be considered underweight at this point. What are your opinion? My plan is to get down to sub 10% body fat or somewhere close to that so I can have a good baseline to start a lean bulk. https://imgur.com/a/L5FmIxu - please take a look at this and maybe give an estimation on my body fat percentage if possible? I heard that I could have what woman would call "violin hips" which are hips that protrude slightly outwards, but its clearly fat as I can grab a chunk of fat from that area and not bone. Any suggestions will be appreciated. thank you [link] [comments] |
| My fitness watch changed my exercise and daily habits so much Posted: 26 Dec 2020 11:33 AM PST Although I was moderately active due to my extracurriculars in college, the pandemic really made me exercise less. However, when I joined a study that gave out free fitness watches to its participants, I became so much mindful of how much/little I actually exercised. The small reminders of "walk 250 more steps this hour" or looking at how I didn't get 10,000 steps this day made me more motivated to get out there and fulfill the step goal of the day. Of course, there are days where I don't get out there and get 10,000 steps I have more days where I did this rather than I didn't. I can't believe that I never tried to use them earlier. Get a fitness watch or something peeps! I promise it's not an ad. [link] [comments] |
| Is it really worth it to be a healthy weight? Posted: 26 Dec 2020 12:25 PM PST I think I just need some encouragement and reassurance. So far I've lost 52lbs, from 205lb to 153lbs and I'm 5'2. That was definitely worth it. I do feel a lot more comfortable. And it honestly wasn't that hard. But the closer I get to a healthy weight, it's become so much harder. I don't know if I just have a bad mindset and that's what holding me back. But sometimes I worry that it's not worth it anymore.
So much of what i see from short people losing weight is that they are miserable. They feel like they're constantly missing out on what everyone else is doing. I hate that feeling. And they describe losing weight as needing ironclad control at all times and the slightest mistake throws you off because your TDEE is so low. I don't want to feel like i have to be in such control of my food all the time. I used to have anorexia and I just can't go back to that mindset. And now i'm having an issue with binging because I'll see people saying how much they feel restricted and that makes me anxious so I crave food even more and want to eat way too much. I just feel like people don't really enjoy being a healthy weight. Can i hear from people who do think it was worth and still enjoy their life through the process? [link] [comments] |

| Does anyone else find that restricting certain categories of foods just works out better? Posted: 27 Dec 2020 12:00 AM PST I am currently trying to lose weight and clear up my skin at the same time. In search for acne triggers, I have been cutting out sugar, gluten, and dairy and I already tend to eat low amounts of red meat. Everything else is pretty much fair game, but it all ends up being healthy food anyways (tons of veggies and fruits, eggs, grains, beans, rice, etc). I am mostly sticking to a calorie deficit, but I still do have some binge days where I am starving (probably due to my time of the month tbh) and need to eat a ton. But even when I eat more than I hope to, this diet still kind of keeps me on track. Normally, when I have a binge day or two, it sparks a whole series of binge weeks that end up torpedoing any progress I made. I lost 9 pounds in September only to gain them back in October + 1st half of Nov. The trigger was one day of eating whatever I wanted. I have started up again in mid-November and I am down 10 pounds again and don't feel like I am going to stop. I had two days of eating about 2500-3000 calories early this week (I am a 5'5 female, early 20's, so this is at least 700+ above maintenance for me) and now I feel back on track Does it just have to do with chemicals in the food? Because if you let me loose on a baguette and some cheese or if I start eating junk food (chips, brownies, cookie, etc.), I will eat a huge portion with ease. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Dec 2020 12:49 PM PST Hi! I wanted to share something that is really helping me eat only when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. This has always been an issue for me, and I'm just very used to cleaning my plate, and saying, as I eat past satiation, "I'm not satisfied, I want more.". Stopping and saying "Do I really want to keep eating?" didn't help me, as the answer was yes! Keeping eating was what I wanted to do. Here's where my story comes in- I'm currently learning Spanish, and I was working on common phrases. I learned the phrase 'tengo hambre' which means 'I'm hungry'. The literal translation is 'I have hunger'. This totally rocked my world, and I started to imagine the feeling of hunger as a little guest inside me. When I am eating or considering a snack, I stop and say "Do I have hunger? Is hunger here with me right now?" and then I reflect and focus on my bodily sensations. Sometimes it's easier than others. I am trying not to ask "Do I really want this?" or "Do I want to eat right now?" or even "Am I hungry?", but instead "Do I have hunger?" and it helps my thinking and my brain to connect better. Moral of the story, if you find it really hard to ask yourself "Am I hungry" or to determine your bodily cues, as is so true for me, try to reword the question or look to a different place within yourself, and maybe it will help it click! Good luck, hope I made sense and could help someone. [link] [comments] |
| Why is it so hard to be consistent *sigh* Posted: 26 Dec 2020 08:15 PM PST I just want to vent. I just want to type out how I feel, and see if anyone else can relate or can maybe share some helpful advice. It's been hard lately as it has been for everyone. In July 2020 I saw a nutritionist for about 8 weeks and lost ~13lbs, which was the most weight I had ever lost through strict diet, but once I stopped seeing her I gained it all back... and then some. I'm at a point now where I just feel like I don't care, while also caring deeply at the same time. I'm so, so disappointed I gained that weight back, but being stuck at home during this pandemic has really taken a toll. I have a toddler, I am in the midst of looking for a job and applying for a masters, we want to start trying for a second kiddo in the new year, and I stopped taking my antidepressants about 3 weeks ago. I feel so tired. I want to eat better and exercise, why can't I? Reading this it's all just excuses... I just feel like somethings not right. I used to love exercise, but now the thought of it makes me want to barf. I hate exercising alone too. What can I do/what have you done? [link] [comments] |
| NYR 2021: No more weight loss resolutions. Posted: 26 Dec 2020 09:08 AM PST Every year since I was a kid, I've resolved in some form or another to lose weight. At ten, I had this plan to do calisthenics in the backyard everyday like I was from the 1960s or something. I'd lose a ton of weight, especially over the summer, and then I'd be popular and pretty and life would finally start. I'd have my teen movie moment. I've been self-conscious of my body forever, aware of the space I took up and all my flaws and imperfections. My oldest brother posted a TBT photo from when I was four or five and I couldn't believe it. I looked like normal kid. Perfectly normal. I can't get it out of my head, because I don't remember ever feeling like a normal sized person. My parents both had a on-going struggle with their bodies and their self-image. Mom was always trying a new fad diet. Dad bought home gym equipment from infomercials. My brothers and I were always trying to change our bodies (still are) and it stems from how my parents treated theirs. There's an age gap between each of my siblings and me, so I got to watch my brothers' struggles before I even hit puberty. My oldest brother, whom my mom had plenty of commentary about, cycled through weight loss and gain in his teen years and then joined the military, where his body was even more regulated. Our middle brother packed on muscle and played sports. He wrestled throughout high school, obsessing over his weight class, actively dehydrating himself to gain advantage. He would obsessively binge and fast in turn to sculpt his body. Since he graduated from high school in the early 2000s, we didn't see this as an eating disorder. He was just disciplined. My parents attempts to lose weight and get the perfect body always failed. Mom would eat low-fat or Atkins or whatever was trendy for a few weeks before quitting and starting the cycle all over again. Dad never used the equipment that promised ripped abs for only payments of $19.99 for 36 months. I am on the precipice of 30. This year, this decade, has a lot of baggage for me, but I am trying to gain perspective. I don't want to continue this cycle, this family obsession, for the rest of my life. It's unhealthy and unproductive. Throughout my 20s, I made lifestyle changes that I think improved my overall health. I've incorporated forms of exercise that I love (hiking, walking, yoga) and plan to focus on that more. I try to put better food in my body, largely cutting out the junk I grew up on. As I've said in a previous post, I lost 70 pounds in 2018 and maintained it (or you know, had a super long plateau) in 2019. This year, I gained a bit back due to, well, 2020. I never hit my UGW before I started to plateau/maintain and while I felt more comfortable in my body after losing weight in 2018, I didn't feel like I was done. I want so badly to resolve to lose the last thirty pounds this year, I really, really do, despite having typed all this up. I want to just write that down and feel that little accomplishment, like I just bought gym equipment I will totally use or a new diet book. Cycles are easy to fall back into for a reason. It would be easier to follow the same pattern I had ingrained in me, the one I inherited and know like an instinct. Instead, I resolve to fix my lifestyle: setting fitness goals and developing a consistent daily routine; focus on healthier foods and cut down/out added sugars and processed food; examine my relationship with food and my mental health to reduce emotional and bored eating. Here's to a better 2021 for us all, y'all. Do you have a cycle you want to break? [link] [comments] |
| 28M/250lbs wanting to get to 195lbs by next Christmas before I don’t make it to Christmas 2021 Posted: 26 Dec 2020 11:55 PM PST Good morning all, I'm currently 28yo Male weighing 18st so 250lbs and wanting to get back down to 14st so 196lbs. I've just gone through Christmas Day and decided that I actually hate the pictures of me so much that I don't even have any pictures of myself with my 1yo daughter as I'm so ashamed in myself. I'm wanting to set a goal of next Christmas being in a position to take a family photo and feel good about it. Never mind all the added health benefits of losing 50lbs. I currently have THE worst eating habits, do absolutely zero exercise and have a 60h/week desk job that's eating away at my waist, literally. Can anyone assist in educating me in how to start home workouts, eating healthier and not feel like I can't breathe just walking up the three flights of stairs to work and when I should start seeing the benefits. I'm also posting this in various other subreddits to learn more about home exercising to help speed up the process too. Any help would be massively appreciated, any success stories from people who thought they'd never lose any weight and be happy again would be fantastic too. And finally, if anyone wants to keep in touch to support me directly through my journey then please drop me a DM. I'm concerned at this rate i won't be here next Christmas if I don't start changing my lifestyle! Thanks All [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 26 Dec 2020 05:38 AM PST Started my journey at 380lbs, heaviest weight being 400. Looking back, I don't know how I ate as much as I did. I stopped weighing myself for around a week to see how it would affect me, and overall I was happier just not knowing and trying to stay focused more on eating properly and doing what I know in my heard has worked for me so far. I weighed in at 307lbs. That's 73lbs gone now. I want this to be a message for everyone that thinks they can't do it. Everyone that fails and gives up. I have been where you are, it's so fucking hard...but it's so fucking worth it. You can do this, even if you don't believe in yourself, I believe in you. I will continue my journey, I hope that you will too! [link] [comments] |
