| Posted: 10 Jan 2021 10:16 AM PST At long last, I've hit the 30 pound down mark! It took a solid 6 months but it's totally worth it. I'm only 5 pounds away from my "goal weight," but honestly my main goals are simply to eat healthier & feel better in my body. I will say throughout this journey, I've been feeling a little more like I have been each week. I'm 5'2 and this finally put me in the 130's. Starting out at almost 170 lbs (which I've definitely been before) and realizing that this is achievable &even feels sustainable for me is so eye opening! I don't even feel like I've done anything crazy to my lifestyle. But each time I make a difference, the numbers on the scale make a change and I'm so here for it :) 5'2 24F SW: 169.8 CW: 139.2 GW: 135 [link] [comments] |
| [NSV] I have officially gone 1 month without Soda/Candy Posted: 10 Jan 2021 01:22 PM PST I've been a soda/candy lover all my life. A month ago I used to go to the convenience store AT LEAST once a day. It was hard at first, still is honestly, but it's gotten easier. I decided to download a habit tracker and having that little thing to tick off every day I didn't have soda and candy made a huge difference! It was like completing a goal each day and I didn't want to lose my progress. I still get the random cravings but they are manageable now. One thing I've noticed is my energy levels have stabilized a good bit. I don't need that sweet sugary hit to "get right" and overall my mood is better, I smile more. My next goal is to replace crappy snacks like chips/pretzels/cookies and anything else you might mindlessly graze on with fruit and veggies. Not saying I'll cut those things out of my life entirely but I want it to be more on the occasional side and not the eat the entire bag side. Well, thanks for reading. Wish me luck. ~L. (Ps. did I do this right? My first post here besides the day 1 thread) [link] [comments] |
| Day 10 of my New Years resolution to eat healthy and exercise and I’ve already lost 3 lbs! Posted: 10 Jan 2021 06:50 AM PST I've always been obese, and this pandemic has really made it snowball. My highest weight was achieved in November at 323lbs. My doctor made a goal for me to lose just 10lbs in 3 months, which I figured with the right diet I could do without exercising. But when January 1st came around, I felt motivated to start working out at home. Just body weight workouts — squats, lunges, yoga, and even some shadow boxing. I've only been working out for 30 minutes a day but already I've noticed some interesting changes. For example, I can do more reps. Just the other day I managed to do 100 squats, which I never imagined I'd be able to do. I've also noticed that I find myself wanting to drink water more than anything else. I'm a sucker for iced coffee and fruit juices, but now I drink about 80oz of water a day. And the best change I've seen so far is my skin is so much clearer. No longer dry, which I used to use expensive products to try to fix. Nah, just needed some exercise! I have an Apple Watch so I'm doing my own challenges for awards. Right now, I'm on 10 days in a row of closing all three rings — for those not familiar, I met my calories burned, exercise minutes, and standing goals — and I'm working to keep this going as a habit. I mostly do HIIT, but I do have 2 active rest days a week where I do about 40 minutes of light yoga. If there's one piece of advice I'd give anyone trying to lose weight but lacking motivation, take it one little baby step at a time. You don't need to make drastic changes all at once, cause that's what can push you back into cravings or loss of motivation. Even the smallest effort is an effort, and you should be proud of yourself for that. [link] [comments] |
| Lost 100 lbs in a year and a couple weeks. Can’t believe it. Posted: 11 Jan 2021 12:31 AM PST So Boxing Day of 2019, my ex and I were about to host our annual Boxing Day party where we have a bunch of friends over to our boardgame cafe to play games all day. It's one of the few days we closed down so it let us relax and have fun. As I'm getting ready and trying to look nice for the party I catch myself in the mirror. I absolutely hate the way I look and feel sick at the sight of me. 5'9", weighing 265 pounds at 26 years of age. I looked myself in the mirror and told myself if I didn't do something about this I would die. I then spent the next 9-10 months cutting calories down to between 1,250 and 1,500 calories a day. Joined the gym in August and went as best I could around Covid restrictions. This year on Boxing Day I stepped on the scale again, no party to go to cause of Covid and down a girlfriend but I was actually smiling. I was down 97 lbs; as of today I'm now 165 lbs. 2020, I beat you. [link] [comments] |
| I'm 16F and I've lost 34 lbs (So far) Posted: 10 Jan 2021 11:21 AM PST Honestly It has taken me a long time (about 6 months) because I wasnt as consistent as I should have been. I actually gave up for 2 months and I've recently just gotten back into working out! But what I've realized is that when I first started, I went extreme. I tried working out twice a day at least 6 days a week. I burnt myself out and I realize that it wasnt healthy and im ngl, that lasted a week and then I gave up with that. That was definitely a rough week. Most of my journey has definitely been on again off again with working out but one thing that kind of stuck was my semi healthy eating habits. I didn't force myself to eat the healthiest option out there but I chose the healthier options. Like did I really want something with bread? (Sometimes I would crave bread) I would have a grilled chicken sandwich, use low carb tortillas, or even eat wheat bread. (Dave's killer bread is amazing) Depriving myself of everything I love would make me miserable and then I would most likely end up eating a bunch of ice cream or pasta. I realized that I can eat what I love in moderation. Yes I was still working out, but like I said, I wasn't the most consistent. Now im getting back to the gym and gonna try and be consistent. I even got myself a gym buddy that said she will go with me twice a week! I still want to lose another 35 ish lbs at least(SW:249 CW:215) but I know I can get there. Its gonna take time but I've lost quiet a bit already, why stop now. There have been times when I look in the mirror and cry because I dont see a difference but then there's times when I look in the mirror and tell myself that I'm working hard and I need to keep working hard to get where I want. I tell myself that I will lose it and im gonna keep trying until I do. I may fail a hundred more times but that doesn't mean im not gonna try again. Its been a Rollercoaster but im taking that ride and im gonna do it. I believe I can and I believe you can too. ♡ [link] [comments] |
| Week 2 is often a difficult week for weightloss - don't lose faith. Posted: 10 Jan 2021 11:54 AM PST I'm just posting this for anyone who needs to hear the same reminder that I am giving myself.... Don't lose faith in a new weightloss program based off of tapering results often seen in week 2. Week 2 can be a notorious period in weightloss journeys where the impressive initial results of your first week can quickly slow down to a normal rate and can be demotivating. I have lost over 6lbs since January 1st, which is a lot of weight for such a small time frame for me. I just need to remind myself that even if my weightloss slows down or pauses in week 2, I will continue to lose eventually if I keep going. In case there was anyone else out there with the week 2 blues... Keep going. We got this! [link] [comments] |
| When food is the only thing to look forward to. Posted: 10 Jan 2021 02:12 PM PST Please forgive my wallowing but I'm going down a self-pity spiral and I think talking it out will help me snap out of it (I hope). I've lost 70 pounds since Feb 2019 - I have 30 to go. The majority of it was pre-pandemic but I did manage to lose 10 pounds and keep it off in 2020. I started back on track the day after Christmas and was proud of myself for not waiting until New Years to start. I lasted 10 days then fell completely off the rails this week. I haven't added it up but I'm pretty sure I ate at least 3000 calories a day the last 5 days. The thing is - I had fun. We are in lockdown right now with everything closed, we likely will have a curfew soon, I am working from home (which I am very grateful to be able to do), I live alone in a 400sf apartment and my cat passed away in November so it feels extra small and lonely. Every day is the same. I make myself go walk for an hour a day but it still just feels like going through the motions and its starting to get to me. When I order in something GOOD to eat it makes me feel so good at least for a little bit. It gives me something to look forward to. It breaks up the day. I try something different and its exciting. I really don't know how I'm going to do it this time. I know all the right things to do - keep going for walks, exercise at home, eat healthy, try to prepare fun creative, healthy meals. But making myself do it right now is just so hard - food is the only 'fun' thing going on right now - everything else is just a chore going through the motions. I lost 70 pounds, I know what to do but the key was always keeping myself busy with other things - there were other joys in life. I want so badly to give up, although I know I will hate myself if I do, I can't gain it all back I really can't but I don't know how else to get through this lockdown. [link] [comments] |
| How do you handle the backlash of weightloss? Posted: 10 Jan 2021 08:40 PM PST As per the title, how do you handle the backlash of weight loss? I'm talking the friends that give backhanded compliments, the family that say they can barely see a difference, and the strangers telling you that you don't need to lose weight because you're the perfect plus size? As a woman, I was proud of my small success of losing 20kg/44lbs. I kept quite about it to start off but since changing my hair colour to celebrate, going "public" on social media, and starting to share my on-going journey (I have another 50kg/110lbs to lose) I've noticed that I'm getting a lot of backhanded compliments, unsolicited advice, and it's just downright discouraging. How do you handle it? What do you do? [link] [comments] |
| Is walking the secret to weight loss? Posted: 10 Jan 2021 09:01 AM PST My starting weight was 205lbs mid November (male, 5'10"). I just checked my weight now and I'm at 191lbs by giving up alcohol, cutting back on sweets, and trying to do smaller portion sizes - although I haven't been weighing out food or using any calorie tracking app, and am probably still eating too much chocolate. I'm definitely happier, but would love to get into the 170-180lb range by mid March. I was playing around with some calorie calculators this morning and for someone that's 191lbs, walking 3.2mph at a 1% incline (an easy walk), for 90 minutes, burns almost 600 calories! I was shocked to see how many calories are burned. And I find walking to be pleasant, I can listen to podcasts, watch YouTube videos or Netflix if I'm on the treadmill, and never feel pain afterwards. Last week I jogged 2 miles, was winded, hurt like hell for several days afterwards, my left knee still feels iffy, and I calculated only 250 calories burned. Worst part is I got a massive hunger attack that night and probably ate way more than 250 calories. I don't ever recall getting a "starving sensation" after a long hike. So I've set my alarm an hour earlier starting tomorrow to try to walk 60 minute every morning, either outside or on our treadmill, and 30 minutes in the evening. Hopefully I can get to my target goal. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, or success stories? [link] [comments] |
| Wondering if my decreased tolerance to cold is a side effect of losing weight Posted: 10 Jan 2021 05:16 PM PST Confession time. I'm getting older and I find I'm less tolerant to the cold. I now know why my grandmother always dressed in layers and my mom carries around an extra cardigan with her. That said, I'm also just about 90 pounds down from my highest weight and I was wondering if losing that much insulation is a factor. My son teased me earlier today as I was bundling up to go for my daily walk. He looked at me as I was about to step out and said "Geez Mom. Do you really have to go full Eskimo just to go outside?" Anyone else notice they need to wear more layers/warmer clothes now that you have lost some weight? [link] [comments] |
| Starting to recognize myself again Posted: 10 Jan 2021 11:13 AM PST I'm not sure I can share this with anyone irl, except maybe my therapist lol. So I thought I'd share it here, and I'd love to hear similar stories if you have them. I was generally a healthy weight until about age 19-20. 5'5 female, generally hovered around 140-145. The last two years of college were incredibly hard for me from a personal/mental-health standpoint (including a genuinely traumatic experience or two), and I didn't exercise nearly as much and stress ate to cope. I graduated in May of 2020. Around March of 2020 I stepped on a scale for the first time in maybe a year and got scared. I was 210 pounds, y'all. I gained almost 70 pounds in roughly two years. I barely recognized parts of my body in the mirror. I realized I didn't want to continue this trend. I didn't want to squander my health. I wanted to be able to enjoy my life again, to be able to walk around and explore without getting winded. I've been doing IF (usually 16-8, but bc of my job hours I often I have to do more like 14-10), CICO, yoga, and some bodyweight exercises. My first post-grad job also has me on my feet a lot. The stress and demand of my job + mental health issues slowed down my progress, but it's still going and picking up speed again! I try to treat each day is a fresh start, I don't do intense restrictions, and I don't roast myself for eating more some days. I've lost about 40 pounds so far and y'all!! This morning I looked in the mirror and started to recognize myself!!!! I can do more complex yoga poses and can feel myself getting more flexible and stronger!! Exercise is fun and feels good! I've been learning new recipes, cook food that I enjoy, and eat my old faves in moderation. I'm in therapy!! Things are not perfect, nor will they ever be, but I am taking care of myself. I'm so thankful for this feeling today. That is all. [link] [comments] |
| Lost 6.8 lbs and 0.5% fat in one week! Feels good to be back on the road to a healthy lifestyle! Posted: 10 Jan 2021 11:20 PM PST Hi all, Long time lurker in here, posted a long time ago, but failed my attempt of losing weight. I am currently 233lbs at 5'5" as a female. This puts me into the obese range. Something I've been my entire life. A few years ago I lost 40lbs, but a stressful job and moving house didn't help me and I put it all back. During the quarantine I really went downhill. I started drinking almost every day, eating junk, take out at least 3-4 times a week. Basically spending huge amounts of money on destroying myself. A week ago today I said stop to all of that. I didn't drink anything but black coffee, water or tea and had zero takeout for a week! I worked out 5 out of 7 days and cooked daily ! I know that I lost a lot of water weight, but seeing a small change in body fat has me through the roof! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2021 07:52 PM PST I started my weight loss journey seriously the 1st January 2021. The problem is, I've started this journey so many times before only to get heavier and heavier throughout the years. I've had problems with eating when I was 12 where I would starve myself because I thought I was fat when looking back I was very skinny. There hasn't been a time where I haven't been conscious of my body since I was about 10 years old. I have lost weight only to gain even more weight gradually afterwards. I looked back at old photos now and get mad at myself for not appreciating how good i actually looked but instead still felt "fat". Before I knew it I was ACTUALLY overweight. I started my weight loss journey at 72.8kg (160.5lb) and I am aiming to be 60kg (132.3lb). I am 5'3 so even a couple kg difference shows on my body. My face and stomach are the first to change due to weight loss or gain. I've noticed the best way for me to lose weight consistently is through calorie counting. My plan is to consume 1200 cal a day. I can eat more as long as i exercise it off of course which I sometimes do by cycling. This should take roughly five months and I should finally be happy with my size by May 2021. It has been a hard journey so far and we are only ten days in. If anyone has any words of encouragement or tips I would love to hear them!

| Goal: to only have to say “I was overweight for 5 years” Posted: 10 Jan 2021 12:29 PM PST I've been spending a lot of time thinking about how much I regret my weight gain. I was sucked into HAES after using unhealthy binge/purge cycles to deal with past trauma. I didn't even realize then that my food issues were a coping mechanism for buried trauma, and HAES offered a "solution". As a result my husband and I are both not just overweight, but obese. Until this year I refused any kind of intentional weight loss. While I was feeling sorry for myself and all the time I've wasted, though, I had a moment of clarity where I remembered I'm still only in my 20s. I have the rest of my life to get to a healthy weight and stay there! One day I hope to be able to say, "yeah, I was overweight from 2015 to 2020. But then I changed my habits and got healthy." "Losing" 5 years is so much better than never reaching my goal. [link] [comments] |
| don't let perfect be the enemy of good Posted: 10 Jan 2021 05:45 PM PST Statistically, 80% of New Years Resolutions fail, usually by the end of February. What a bleak number, right? Sure, statistics lie or can be misleading. We talk often on r/LoseIt about the fail rate of diets, which is based on flawed and dated studies mixed with the fact that people often fail several times on the path to success. Weight loss isn't always a linear process. But haven't we all been part of that 80% at some point in our lives? I pulled the 80% stat from Forbes and Psychology Today (credits below). Psychology Today:
Paraphrasing Amy Morin's article in Psychology Today, New Years resolutions fail because people arbitrarily chose January 1 as the day they will make monumental change. Change is a process beginning with recognizing a need or problem, taking the steps, and then maintaining the change. However, many are pressured by society and expectation to make certain resolutions. Maybe January is a bad month to commit to the change. If now isn't the time to make all the big steps, allow yourself to prepare for the change and start in a few days or a few months. Maybe winter is too bleak and challenging to start a big program. It's okay to make small changes before committing to something larger. Forbes mini-listicle three reasons why boil down to you have to become someone different than you are right now to truly change, but in order to do that, you have to address the root of the problem and maintain your changed behavior, which is difficult and uncomfortable. There's a reason you are who you are at this moment. It's easier to fall back into comfortable behavior instead of making massive changes to who you are as a person. I am paraphrasing both articles heavily, so if you are interested, please check them out. I've been thinking about this article entitled "The Way We Make Fitness Resolutions Is All Wrong"(credited below) a lot this week. It's a fun, quick read, if you want to check it out for yourself. I'm quoting chunks of it that I thought were particularly impactful to me.
Small steps are so important. Be kind to yourself. You don't have to be perfect to make a change in your life. If you feel like you are about to give up on your New Years Resolution to lose weight or get fit (whatever your words are), just make one small change this week. Commit to going for a walk once a day or eating fewer desserts this week or drinking one less can of soda. Where ever you are at in the process of getting healthier. We're not here to judge you, promise! Got to start somewhere. Also, if you made a resolution because it what you thought you should do, but it's not something you enjoy or find value in, reconsider. If you hate running, try zumba. If Keto isn't working for you, try to focus on CICO with foods you love.

| I just managed to spend forty minutes on my elliptical. Posted: 10 Jan 2021 11:07 PM PST Last week I decided to try to spend at least 15 minutes a day five days a week on my elliptical. I gave myself a couple of days off so that if I had a very hard day at work physically I could take it off and the next day without feeling like a failure. Turns out to be a good thing because I did have a day like that (these days are pretty rare, so it won't be every week). The first couple of times I did fifteen minutes I feel pretty tired at the end. Today after taking two days off I managed to stay on a full forty. Granted, the shorter sessions were on work days when I came home tired and I'm off today so I started in fresher state. But still, I burned well over 300 calories. I'm planning on eating around 1400 calories when I'm in my eating window so this is fairly substantial for me. So I'm off to a good start this week! [link] [comments] |
| Now that I'm thinner I suddenly notice all the flaws on my body. Posted: 10 Jan 2021 01:24 PM PST Hello, I'm not gonna give my full stats but for reference I've lost 19kg (about ~40lbs) so far and I started seeing the change in and on my body. I always thought the only problem that stayed in the way between me and that so-called self esteem, self love whatever, was that I was fat. Now I lost weight it seems like I'm starting to see all the flaws on my body other than the fat part. Years ago I gained so much weight, I think I gained roughly 30kg (~66lbs) in just matter of months and since then I've had stretch marks on my tummy and thighs, and now I'm starting to see them clearly. Also due to the fact that I'm losing weight very unevenly between different body parts, for example my waist got thinner but my thighs basically stayed the same, my body shape looks weird. I'm not discouraged and I will keep going until I reach my goal weight since I'm doing it for the sake of my health, but the ideal bubble of this massive glow up after the weight loss kind of just bursted right in front of my eyes and I'm... ah, a little disappointed. Saying I didn't at all expect to see a more beautiful version of myself, the one I can be proud of, after so much effort put in losing weight would be a total lie. But that's okay. I think I will recover from this, I still have a long way to go and I'm not going to stop just because at the moment I still can't look into the mirror and say I'm okay with what I see. Just needed to vent a little and give you guys some heads up about how it is on the other side - if I might say so, I hope, because I've lost probably the amount many of you here set out to lose. Also, I always think I'm doing this whole weight loss thing because I love my body. I didn't give up on it, I'm working on it, and even if it doesn't turn out to be how I want it to be, I will never give up on it. One day I will be able to think I'm beautiful. I hope you too will learn to love yourself no matter what. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2021 11:54 PM PST It's been since February 2020 that I've worked out until last week. I was doing Keto at the time and lost 25lbs... then the pandemic hit and I gained it all back plus 10 pounds! I was so discouraged that I slipped back into old eating habits. I was doing online college/working from home/playing games on my new beastly PC and was very sedentary the rest of 2020. A bodybuilder friend of mine got me a discount at the gym he goes to and I'm essentially mimicking his workouts along side him with his guidance. He's also going to help me with a meal plan which is great. I'm very excited to get back into a healthy workout routine and break out of my rut. I wanted to post here to hold myself accountable in some way. I see a lot of great journeys with amazing results on this sub and I'm hoping to be one of those posts in the future! I'm 6'2 and My SW is 395lbs and my GW is ...well I'm not really sure. I just want to become stronger and healthier and not really worry about the scale for a while. The last time I was in great shape was 19 (29 now) and I was 210lbs. Here's to a healthier year. 🍻 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2021 05:35 PM PST After nine days of clean eating... today I had my first official cheat day. I ate some cake and chips because I was at a birthday party. I'm a bit upset but not as upset as I would feel before. I feel like it's fine once in a while. I will continue my diet and intermittent eating tomorrow. I don't know but this time I do feel kind of... not guilty. It's kind of nice knowing that I ate shit once compared to every day (how I used to do it before). I think I'm doing better but i'm not completely sure. I think i should also start working out at home but I don't really know how to because I barely have space in my room. Anyway, this was just a small update for you guys,, let me know what you think ! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2021 10:07 PM PST I'm currently a senior in high school and all through my high school career I've been overweight and obese. I started my freshman year at around 170, and due to several emotional turmoils and my reliance on food to cope with my own self hatred, have gained almost 100 pounds since. I've been given several opportunities to start losing but rejected them for the unhealthy emotional support food has given me. My weight doesn't reflect who I am or who I wish to be. I've always imagined myself going off in the world as a slim, feminine person with a soft demeanor who was comfortable in their own body and could flaunt it off happily, but all I see in the mirror is an unattractive monster of a loser. I'm scared that by the time I'm in college my insecurities of my own weight will have an affect on me socially and emotionally. I just want to lose it all as soon as I can, but at the same time I'm aware of the reality that losing so much weight in such a quick amount of time isn't healthy and will only result in disaster.

| Going into day one of losing weight for the second time Posted: 10 Jan 2021 05:14 PM PST Tomorrow is my day one! I feel super focused and am excited to get started. I lost almost 80 lbs once before many years ago but slowly gained it back. I need to lose that much again and I know I can do it. I wanted to wait until tomorrow because the first two weeks or so of the year are the busiest, most physically demanding, and most stressful work weeks for me. I didn't use the time to get in a lot of last minute binging or unhealthy meals, and I'm proud of myself for that! I tried to eat healthy because I knew it would make my body feel good, and I made a solid plan for the coming weeks. I think having this to look forward to once work calmed down actually kind of helped get me through the stress. I'm really glad I found this group! Reading everyone's stories and advice in the past month have really helped me to feel confident and to remember that I already have all the tools I need to do this. I'm going to do my best to let go of the guilt I have for gaining the weight back and learn from the mistakes I made that first time around (restricting and eating 900 calories a day is the road to insanity, thanks 25 year old me).

| Posted: 10 Jan 2021 09:38 PM PST Over the last 2 months I've slowly stopped eating all dairy, bread, and carbonated beverages. Working on cutting back on processed food. Even without exercise I've lost 20 pounds (F 5'7" 199lbs). Because I'm eliminating things gradually I don't feel deprived like I thought I would either. I'm excited to see what exercising will do! Slow and steady. I'm not a doctor--but some things that helped me change my diet is cassava pasta, buckwheat flour, duck fat instead of butter, sunflower cooking oil, cacao, diluted apple cider vinegar shots (easier on the esophagus) and adding spices to my meals like cayenne and turmeric. For sweetener I use organic pure maple syrup. I'm basically on a paleo/feingold diet right now and it feels pretty dang good. Any tips for exercising as a couch potato? 😂 Good luck on your journeys everyone, we've got this!! [link] [comments] |
| 7lbs down and I’m proud of myself. Posted: 10 Jan 2021 07:50 AM PST I've been following a keto diet, and fasting here and there and listening to my body to eat when I'm hungry, not because I'm doing homework and I'm bored. I'm proud of myself, this is the first time I've gone about weight loss in a healthy way. I've struggled with binge eating and eating disorders my whole life, (I'm about to graduate college and hopefully I'll be at my goal weight in a year!) but this year is looking up and I'm really happy where I am. It's still less than 10lbs, and it certainly isn't a lot like I've been seeing on here but progress is progress and it takes time and you have to keep pushing yourself if you want to see results. I started off at 200lbs, a little over to account for some water weight. Today I weighed in at 192. I'm so proud. [link] [comments] |
