| Posted: 16 Jan 2021 12:02 PM PST EDIT: AMA is over! Thank you all so much for the amazing questions! And thanks to r/loseit for having us again! It was a pleasure! ***** We're a married Gen-X couple living in Los Angeles who have lost 250 pounds combined through counting calories, and tracking steps using our fitbits, and we're here to answer any questions you may have about weight loss and weight maintenance! In 2018 we started a weekly comedy / weightloss podcast called, "We Only Look Thin," where we give advice and insight on the habit and mindset changes we've used to keep the weight off. We've had eating disorders since we were kids, so we don't consider ourselves fixed. We're not preaching a cure, or one weird trick, rather we provide tips to help manage weight loss goals. On the podcast we cover topics like secret eating, depression, bulimia, diabetes, boundaries, shame, habit change, body image issues, codependency, sneaking in fitness in your day-to-day life, and adapting to challenges that might get in the way of helpful habits. So, ask us anything! [link] [comments] |
| Update on my weight loss 253.5 to 211.6 (22 years old) Posted: 16 Jan 2021 06:20 AM PST My last post on here got pretty popular so I thought I should update you guys. I stated my weight loss journey around 253.5 pounds and im now about 211.6 almost 3lbs lighter than the last time i posted at 214lbs. I started to lift alot more weights and do a full body workout with cardio every other day. Heres my update photos ill mark nsfw some pics are me in underwear https://imgur.com/a/cqQrihT Also my confidence has really shot up i used to be really depressed and anxious and to be honest i believe i cured my depression and minimized my anxiety to a point where it rarely happens and is nowhere as intense as it was at my bigger weight. I grew up a really insecure fat kid lol so it feels really good to be in shape and sort of fit in my adulthood it makes me feel accomplished lol. Also sorry if my grammar isn't perfect im a mmj patient and i just got done working out lol. Id also like to add that im 6'1". [link] [comments] |
| [NSV] Was told it wasn't fair I could eat like I do Posted: 16 Jan 2021 05:46 PM PST I've lost roughly 100 pounds a couple years ago. I did it mostly through increase in activity than reducing my food intake (although obviously I did both with switching to water and diet drinks being the biggest change). I've been pretty static in the normal weight range for over a year now so a lot of my friends and colleagues forget that I use to be obese but I met up with some friends today for a skate, I showed up with some McDonalds, and later started talking about the holidays: Me: "I got so much Christmas chocolates, just finished it all but I ate a full big bag worth of M&M's (roughly 1000 calories) yesterday alone!" Friend: "You're so lucky you can eat like you do and stay thin. It's not fair, if I ate like you I would weigh so much!" Had to bite my tongue and honestly took it as a huge compliment but my friend also knew I had run a 30 KM on Friday, did a 3 hour hike this morning, was currently skating straight for over an hour (while the rest of the group was taking multiple breaks), and I intend to run another half marathon tomorrow but somehow didn't associate my eating habits with my exercise.

| lost 8 pounds since christmas! Posted: 16 Jan 2021 02:36 PM PST Hi guys, i posted here a while ago about how i was trying to lose weight and how i stuck to a caloric deficit ~500 a day over the holidays-well i kept it up and it paid off! After winter break i moved back to my college apartment, and i've been just paying attention to portion sizes and adjusting so i can eat whatever and stay at my deficit, and i've lost 8 pounds! I'm back to 116 and i haven't weighed that much since before quarantine. I have a history of eating disorders, and getting obsessed with diet and exercise, and i haven't had a relapse! I'm just really proud of myself, i wasn't sure if i could actually lose weight in a mentally and physically healthy way while still enjoying food and getting to eat and drink with my friends. basically, i just wanted to express how proud of myself i am, i hadn't weighed myself since christmas and so to get on the scale and see that number made me super happy, and like my hard work and good mindset paid off. thanks for all the support here guys, your comments on my last post really made me feel good :) [link] [comments] |
| How do you not make dieting the centre of your life? Posted: 17 Jan 2021 12:49 AM PST I'm back on the dieting horse again. This time with some fresh incentive (my doctor has advised I lose a little before a procedure). I've got my food plan in place, I'm easing myself in exercise again, all good stuff. There's one small catch: I am constantly thinking about weight loss and dieting. I don't just mean around meal times (I've never really been a snacker) I mean all the time. This happened the last diet round I did as well, it just became my whole life. Is this the only way to do things or does anyone have any tips for how I can maintain momentum without staying so constantly aware of dieting. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 17 Jan 2021 12:54 AM PST Over lockdown I've been really depressed, and I've gained a lot of weight because of it. I've been kind to myself and haven't beaten myself up about it mentally because of the circumstances, but now I'm starting to feel a bit better. I'm happier and more energetic, and I want to stay feeling happy and energetic. I've cut out drinking and I'm ready to start my fitness routine again and lose that depression weight. It isn't a lot compared to the battle some are facing, but this is my battle, and I also know that age isn't everything, but having a finish line around the same place it will take to lose the weight with determination and motivation gives me something to look forward to. My friend wants me to start running with him, I'm keeping a high protein diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables and 1500 calories a day, and I'm doing a regular workout every other day. Wish me luck guys! [link] [comments] |
| Why are different foods addicting to different people? Posted: 16 Jan 2021 04:18 PM PST I'll admit to being a salt/cheese addict. Like to the point where I can't have a bag of chips or a slice of pizza without spiraling into a 2000+ calorie binge. But chocolate? Sure, I like chocolate, but I don't want it all the time, and if I have a chocolate bar I enjoy it and move on. I won't devour an entire pound of it. Same with cake. Ice cream? I don't even remember the last time I had ice cream. Or bacon? Bacon is salty af, and I like bacon, but I'll eat 4 strips and call it good. I won't eat an entire pound in one sitting. Has anyone else managed to drop their food addictions without eating unenjoyable food? Anytime I bring this up in person they're response is always "go WFPB", and my response is always "I'd rather starve". Not even joking, I literally would rather, and often do, fast than eat food I don't like. Like why waste calories on food I don't like? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2021 08:59 PM PST Hey everyone. I (30/f/ 368 lbs) have been trying to lose weight for years. I finally have an idea on how to do it but could use ANY advice for healthy eating and staying motivated to work out. The second part has been the hardest on me. I have never posted about something like this. And we'll, I guess I need help. My husband, I love him to pieces, isn't a good influence for me. He hates almost all veggies and most fruits. He is a soda addict and would live off of peanut butter, tacobell, and TV dinners if he didn't marry me. So it's been hard to eat healthy or to get myself to do stuff for just me. Up until last year that is. Now, I actually cook for myself (never cooked much before besides boxed stuff) and try to stay healthy. So, any suggestions on how to stay motivated and how to get me off my ass to work out more? [link] [comments] |
| after losing and gaining the same 4lbs for years, i lost 8lbs! Posted: 16 Jan 2021 05:48 AM PST im really quite happy with my progress so far! but i haven't had anyone to tell it to yet and i don't want to add that pressure to myself if i fall off. the weirdest thing was that i didn't even try to diet, i just started cutting calories and eating healthier one day and didn't stop. i don't think it was even a conscious decision on my part! maybe i just felt really tired of eating sugary garbage and carb loaded foods since i ate indiscriminately before. i really struggled a lot with losing and gaining the same small 4lbs before this so im really proud of myself for breaking this barrier. gonna take some long walks in addition because i feel a plateau coming on soon. looking back i really felt like my failure was that i relied solely on willpower to make good food choices instead of making it a lifestyle change. doing intermittent fasting / OMAD meant i would be so hungry after the day that i wouldn't stick to my evening meal plan and just eat and eat and eat until my stomach was about to burst. living in a lockdown actually allowed me to be more mindful of what i eat, because grocery trips are dangerous and i couldn't spare the time to aimlessly wander around the shop looking at treats and being enticed by them. hope this doesn't stop! thank you for reading this, it means a lot <3 [link] [comments] |
| FaceID no longer recognizes my face on Pixel 4! Posted: 16 Jan 2021 09:37 AM PST Between getting the Pixel 4 in July to now, its gotten to the point where FaceID barely works and I had to retrain it today. I'm really surprised because I've lost weight this past year a lot easier than how I've lost it in the past and didn't realize how much I've lost. (Normally I'd crash diet for 5 months, lose 50 ibs and then gain everything back but this time I've been taking it slow, doing weight training instead of only cardio and trying to introduce more veggies in my diet bc in the past all I wanted to eat was fried foods or noodles and while it's only 32 pounds I'm not miserable or super hungry in my weight loss journey) Super happy :) [link] [comments] |
| I reached my first goal! And I have a fun next goal to work for! Posted: 16 Jan 2021 01:50 PM PST F/46/SW:293 /CW:248 /GW: 150 I'm a type 1 diabetic who has been morbidly obese since I started the latest class of fast-acting insulin about 25 years ago. It made me ravenously hungry all the time. I finally weighed myself and was 293. I talked to my endo, started some new meds which helped lessen my appetite, and started trying to consciously think about food in a healthier way. I set my first weight loss goal at 249. First because it was attainable, and second was because my dad likes to refer to larger people as weighing "at least an eighth of a ton!" (meaning 250+ pounds). He never directly made fun of me, but knowing I weighed way more than that, it hurt my feelings. This morning, even with jammies on, I weighed in at 248 lbs! I'm less than an eighth of a ton! I feel so good right now. My next goal is onederland. There are a couple of reasons. One is that it's an obvious next step. The other is more personal and fun. Before the weight gain, I used to really like riding horses. I did it a lot and really had fun. I'm really into animals, and of course I don't believe in hurting them. For that reason, I can't ride a horse at this weight. Horses can safely carry 20% of their body weight on their back. If a smallish average horse weighs 1000 pounds, it can safely carry a 200 lb person on its back. So that's my goal! Once I reach 199, I'll look for a place with a larger horse I can safely ride! I'm so excited! This sub has been instrumental in inspiring and supporting me. Thank you all! [link] [comments] |
| I lost my first stone. Why do I feel so giddy?!! Posted: 16 Jan 2021 04:28 PM PST It literally feels surreal. I know this is probably not a big win for some people but for me it means everything. After losing about 10lbs, I really struggled to lose anymore (I'm talking weeeeeks to lose 2lbs which usually was manageable for me). It was disheartening and if I had my old mindset, I probably wouldn't have given up altogether, but not this time - I kept looking at the bigger picture and my end goal and I've gotten past my first hurdle! Losing a stone is a milestone I never thought I would reach and it makes me feel so motivated now that I have done it. I feel confident that my final goal is attainable. I want to lose 3 stone overall and the way I see it, I'm past the first 1/3 in two months! I feel so, so proud of myself because I have a habit of comparing myself to people with bigger wins but I've grown to appreciate myself and the work that I have put in. I'm glad that I have come this far with a genuinely healthy lifestyle and although I'm scared of gaining a few lbs back, I don't care because I know now that I am capable of losing it again! Sorry for the long post but ahhhh I can't WAIT to be a part of r/ownit :') [link] [comments] |
| Here's to 'getting back on the wagon'. Posted: 16 Jan 2021 06:51 PM PST It was going good. It was the beginning of 2020 and I was down 35 pounds using the little workout room I had set up in an unused room in my basement (after deep cleaning all the cat mess out). It wasn't anything fancy, just a cheap exercise bike, a decent rowing machine and a weight bench all from amazon. Then some free weights and bars picked up here and there (and an olympic set that was on sale at academy). I was exercising for 20-40+ minutes after work every day and at least one day on the weekend. Then Covid hit. I was laid off and quickly slumped back into my sedentary lifestyle. Even when I went back to work, some several months later, I still haven't gone back into that workout room. My job was added on to(factory work) so I moved to another job in the area that has me walking 6-7 miles a night every night. Then my excuse was being 'too tired' to exercise when I got back home. I even bought a treadmill... but the shipping box weighs around 100lb so I haven't moved it downstairs yet. And then things got worse. Found out 2 days after my birthday in december that my mother has lung cancer (don't smoke for 50+ years, folks) but was told a few days later on christmas eve that it was the 'slow moving, easily treatable kind'. Fast forward a couple of weeks and 'easily treatable' goes to 'if she gets strong enough for physical rehab first' and then immediately to 'she has weeks to months to live'. A hospice was set up at their house. The stress and grief from that, plus my already sedentary lifestyle, has lead to me eating like a complete and total trash panda. Anything to relieve the stress and get that hit of dopamine for just that relaxing moment, damn the consequences. I was afraid to sleep because 2 days in a row I received phone calls with horrible news. Who knew what I would get the next time I woke? Plus the stress of helping my father with the hospice when I can. Each time I finally start to relax I get a call or a text about something else. During this I'm being laid off a week or two at a time due to part shortages. Even Ford is filling the burn of the computer chip shortage. I haven't weighed myself, mostly out of shame, but I can feel the difference. Shirts are tighter, jeans that fit perfectly aren't even wearable, etc. All this being said, I'm typing this complete rambling mess after going to that room for the first time in months and using the exercise bike hard for 20+ minutes. Not a lot, but it's a start. [link] [comments] |
| Is it alright to sacrifice a bit of muscle mass while losing fat? Posted: 16 Jan 2021 08:18 PM PST 14M, 6'0", SW: 230, CW: 223, GW: 200 (for now) While losing weight, is it alright to sacrifice some muscle in order to lose weight? From where I'm at now, I think I need to prioritize losing fat for health reasons. This means that I am trying to eat a lot more greens. However, it also means that I might be missing out on the protein I previously got from big meals. Is this alright? My plan is to focus on losing fat now and build muscle later once I reach my goal weight or lower. I'm not playing any competitive sports so my reasoning to do so is strictly for myself, not any athletic performance. Also, if anyone has any suggestions for low-calorie protein options, please share! Thanks! Also thanks for making this subreddit a great place, it's helped me learn and stay motivated. :) [link] [comments] |
| New Mindset: Treat Scale Like Long Term Stock Investment Posted: 16 Jan 2021 10:39 AM PST Hi all, I just recently revisited my finances and my risk tolerance when it comes to investing in stocks. Ultimately, someone who isn't risk averse knows not to worry when the amount goes in the wrong direction, as historically over time, the market always works in your favour if you hold steady and keep doing what you're doing. To me, that's easy, so I've had an aha moment in how to treat the scale that way! So long as I'm logging my food, I'm not remembering that the daily weigh in doesn't matter: overtime, I'll get a return on my investment :) It's just a little new psych tricks that I thought I'd share with you all! Hope it helps on those days where the scale seems stuck or inflated from bloat! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Jan 2021 11:53 PM PST Hi all, long time lurker, sometimes contributor. I'm losing roughly 12 lbs per month using CICO. I'm also a fairly active person. I don't have a car and I live in a walkable city; I average about 50k steps a week, plus 30-ish minutes of cycling per day to run errands. So far I'm feeling pretty good with my pace and appetite but I also want to start being more intentional with working out. After all, the whole point of losing weight– at least, for me– is to feel more mobile and fresh. I have it somewhere in the back of my mind that exercise will be easier and/or more enjoyable when I'm less heavy. I can already feel that with walking. I feel like a god damn 195 lb feather. I also fear that adding more exercise will affect my current CICO routine, which I've been able to maintain somewhat effortlessly and intuitively. So, anyways, I guess I have two questions:

| Posted: 16 Jan 2021 11:50 PM PST I hate being fat. I lost thirty pounds a year or two ago and gained it all back after school and work overwhelmed me and i ate my feelings like I used to. I hate being the butt of jokes, being treated lesser, feeling like I'm being treated lesser. I hate that my mind and body actively work against me to secure weight loss. I hate that I hate myself. I want to lose weight for other people, it's true. I don't know what it even means to find value in myself, to love myself. How can I love myself if I am below everyone? How can I love myself if no one will love me because of how I look? I hate not being able to go outside without feeling the pin prick of eyes on me. I hate that my clothes are all uncomfortably tight or annoyingly loose. I hate how pathetic I feel when I turn over in bed and it actually takes some effort. I hate that I'm disappointing my parents, my doctors, even myself. I hate looking at myself in the mirror. I hate that I hate looking at myself in the mirror. I hate every inch of my body except for my face, though even that is tainted by the congealed fat beneath my skin that I can feel wrapped around me like slimy chains; it imprisons me. I hate that I eat cause I'm sad and I'm partly sad cause I eat. I hate that I feel like my only value to people is that I can be a joke to them, that I can be the funny guy maybe, or someone to look secretly down upon, to thank G-d I am not him. I hate feeling like I am a walking clown. I hate not being taken seriously. I just want basic human respect. I want to walk around freely. I hate this shit. I hate myself so bad sometimes that I'd wish I'd die. [link] [comments] |

| Exercise and diet routine for 246lb 16yr old Posted: 16 Jan 2021 07:16 PM PST Im 16 years old, weighing 246lb (as of now). I measured my weight last week after like a year. I didn't keep track of my weight before covid or during lockdown but when my school opened last week and i met with my friends, everyone told me i look much thinner than before (i really didn't do anything intentionality to loose weight), but this motivated me to really start and try to loose weight. What exercise routine should i follow? And what things i should prefer to eat in my diet? Also, how much calories goal or weight goal should i put in my fitness pal?? Also, sorry for bad formatting idk how to reddit. [link] [comments] |
| Loving yourself while over 200lbs Posted: 16 Jan 2021 11:06 AM PST As of right now I'm going through a transmutation. Why did I choose the word transmutation rather than transformation? I'm still in the process of becoming this butterfly. I peaked at 230 lbs, wearing 2XL scrub pants, being able to press my finger into my leg for 15 seconds just to leave behind a crater. If you're overweight and have not tried this, you need to try it now!!! It's the most interesting thing and scariest thing you'll ever experience on your body and realize, wtf did I do to myself?! So obviously, I hated my reflection. When I was in my early 20s, I've done some wreckless things that have caused me permanent damage mentally and physically. I would refuse to gaze into my eyes. It hurt me too much - last year I was diagnosed with PTSD. Mentioning emotional terminal makes me feel everything again as if it's the first, I need to recognize this is a trigger for me but it's ok because it's the past - YES I TALK MYSELF THROUGH MY TRIGGERS... Continuing on after a few deep breaths... So I used to think the PTSD was a joke when I was diagnosed. However, the reason I went to a mental health doctor was because my dad was going through something I have never seen before. He was hallucinating randomly and staying in that state of mind for days (surprisingly not drugs). He had to eventually start seeing a psychologist. I wanted him to feel better about the situation so I made my own appointments so he and I could talk about it together.... After awhile, all of my negative thoughts made sense. These thoughts were happening because I was triggered. The phrase I would say to myself when I felt fat or was eating junk was, "I am athletic, fit, healthy, and lean." I would ensure to state this in alphabetical order. This would force me to repeat this phrase several times until I got it right. I had to cognitively change my thoughts in order to appreciate what I saw in the mirror. Even at 220 lbs I would tell myself wonderful things. It took awhile, but I could eventually look into my own eyes and appreciate what my body could do. Once I started to appreciate myself as individual, I started to feel more comfortable reaching out to people and asking for help. I eventually was ok to watch myself in front of a mirror while I worked out. This was a GAME CHANGER!!! I used to think people watched themselves because they were conceited. Haha. I like to watch myself now because when I'm tired, my form gets sloppy. But if I watch myself, I can focus on my form 100%. It helps me forget how tired I am too haha. So here I am now at 203 lbs. I have to wear a L scrub pants. I'm noticing I have upper abdominal muscles. I also notice I can see my hips and it doesn't look like I have a belly. Unless I have bad posture. When I have bad posture, my gut hangs and my lower back kills me! Appreciate your reflection. Love yourself and you will take care of yourself. If you hate yourself, you'll just continue to let yourself go. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 16 Jan 2021 06:08 PM PST Title explains most, but will give context below. My fiancé and I met 8 years ago, long before my weight became a problem. At that point I didn't give much thought to diet and nutrition- let alone calorie tracking. Many nights of good meals and generous drinks were had. However, he's a good foot taller than me, and built like a Viking. I have a very petite frame. So when my diet linked up with his, I started packing on pounds while he stayed the same. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming him at all. There were many other factors leading to my weight gain. But a 6'6" man can fit a good amount of fried chicken and home-made burgers into their diet with no problem. Not the case for small me. Anyway, I started a weight loss journey 2 years ago. Since then I've tracked calories every day. I am big into volume eating, and getting the most bang for my buck calorie-wise. His current diet satisfies him and it doesn't affect his weight, so I've had no reason to nag him into changing it. So I found myself at a crossroads: either I eat what he eats in a MUCH smaller, painstakingly measured amount- or I make myself separate meals that align with my best eating habits. For the last 2 years I've done the latter. Here's the problem: this often means cooking a lot more (different) foods every night. For example I'll make baked chicken breast and zucchini boats for myself- but for him that's not enough. So I'll add a pasta, a bread, and make a separate chicken breast (breaded and fried) for him. Is this incongruous meal pattern going to be sustainable for the rest of our lives? We just got engaged, and I'm trying to wrap my head around how to make this sustainable forever.

| Posted: 16 Jan 2021 08:30 PM PST I am a 20 years old and I've always been overweight. I often tried to lose weight but never succeeded and only gained more. However, this year I decided to seriously start again weighing 107kg. I started my weight loss journey about three weeks ago and I am getting pretty discouraged having lost only 3kg and not seeing any noticeable results. In order to lose weight, I've been exercising (mostly cardio since this is what's more accessible) and I've been more careful about my diet. I feel so happy, whenever I see my weight going down on the scale, but it seems like I've reached a plateau these past few days as I've been hovering around 104kg. This is the longest I've lasted in my weight loss attempts and I would really like to continue but this lack of results really makes me wonder if it's worth it or if it's even possible. I know I am still early in my weight loss journey, but do you guys have any tips?How do you stay motivated? How long did it take until you made a noticeable change? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
