| Sudden realisation that 20 lbs is heavy Posted: 12 Jan 2021 04:44 PM PST Hi all, Funny story today. I went to get a 20lbs kettelbell from a shop next to my place. It's just a 5 min walk to get here from my appartement. On my way back, I was surprised to realise that 20lbs is quite heavy to carry. That's more or less what I've lost last year and it's the first time I could visualise how much it really was. And well, it's a lot more than what I imagined. I made it to my place and I had to climb some stairs on top of that. Now I understand why I didn't like exercising before, it's a lot of effort. Anyway, I never felt that my weight loss was so impressive but having to carry it hit me differently. Good luck with your goals and be proud of every lbs you lose. [link] [comments] |
| Two years after my Day 1 and it's not the success story I had hoped for Posted: 12 Jan 2021 04:21 AM PST I woke up this morning to a Reddit notification saying happy cake day. I joined 2 years ago when I began my weight loss journey and I was full of enthusiasm. January 2019 I weighed 263lb as a 5'3 31year old. January 2020 I weighed 216lb. Roll around January 2021 and I'm clocking in at 255lb. 2020 really kicked my ass. Not only covid, but exams, deaths and other stresses. I really am annoyed with myself - 2 years for 8 measly lbs. But I started again yesterday and I'm determined to make January 2022 better! What worked for me first time round was CICO, using MFP religiously, daily weigh ins and having a read of reddit weight loss subs every day so I'm starting these habits again. Let's hope my 3rd cake day will be worth celebrating! [link] [comments] |
| Thank you r/loseit for helping me lose 100lbs so far �� Posted: 12 Jan 2021 06:01 AM PST Hi guys! I've finally joined this sub-reddit after just reading for a year . At the end of 2019 I weighed 298lbs as a 19 year old 5' 9" female. I've struggled with my weight my entire life. Just over a year later Im now 197lbs and finally have an overweight BMI not obese! My next goal is around the high 160s where I will have a healthy bmi! I dont talk about my weight with the people in my life because I find it uncomfortable. This community has really helped me this year when I've felt no motivation and my PTSD has been determined to try and derail my progress. Just wanted to thank everyone in the community for their great advice and support and let you guys know you've got this 💜 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jan 2021 04:15 PM PST I was diagnosed Covid positive last week. So far it seems to be a pretty mild case but my taste and smell are completely out of service. So far it hasn't been as jarring as I thought it'd be (and honestly, if this is the worst of it then I'm pretty fortunate and grateful). On a brighter note: since I'm home alone quarantining without taste or smell, I'm just gonna use this time of tastelessness to hardcore eat all the nutritious stuff in the house that I hadn't really touched because of taste. Yesterday I just munched on straight kale while watching tv. I just finished making a quinoa/rolled oat overnight situation with mashed banana (not really my texture but that potassium though). Tomorrow I'm making chicken and rice soup with a few veggies and adaptogens I have around the house. Has anyone else lost their smell/taste and tried something similar? Is anyone going through this now? [link] [comments] |
| Finally back under 300 lbs. Thank you r/loseit! Posted: 12 Jan 2021 08:27 PM PST Most of us had a pretty rough year last year. When I started my weight loss journey about 2.5 years ago, I was at 385 lbs. I was didnt know if I'd be alive for my 4 year olds high school graduation. Long story short, at the beginning of last year I was down to 260 lbs. Felt good, but wanted more. Covid hits, and I either got lazy about exercising, and even worse what and when I was eating; or I lied to myself and thought I could maintain without actually putting any effort into maintaining. So her comes the holiday season at the end of 2020, almost back up to 320 or so. Felt like a freight train on a steep downhill grade with no brakes. All the "skinny" clothes I had gotten after all that weight loss was almost not fitting, didnt feel motivated at all. Now here we are halfway thru January, and I've found some bits of motivation. Starting to get a handle on at least when I eat (ex. No snaking after dinner), started exercising with my wife and 11 year old daughter, all that good stuff. Ive also found a lot of motivation from reading your guys' stories, knowing I'm not the only one with these problems. And now I'm back under 300 lbs. and am feeling really good. Thank you to this community for sharing all you great people share. Keep up all the strong work, we are not alone in our work. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2021 12:31 AM PST Hi everyone This is my first post here, please be gentle :) In 2019, I embarked on a crazy health and fitness journey. I went from 82kgs to 72. I felt amazing and for the first time ever, I started loving myself. Now, I'm not even sure how much I weigh. I do know that the clothes I wore at my heaviest do not even remotely fit me anymore. I am too scared to step on the scale, as I am trying to avoid a breakdown. Whenever I try and get back on the health train, I fall right back off. I almost can't even remember how I lost the weight. What I do know, is that I had more time to fo focus on my health, as I was unemployed back then. Now, I work roughly 8-10 hours a day and find myself binge eating while working from home. I am at a bit of a loss. I feel so disappointed in myself and do not know who or where to turn to. If anyone has similar stories on how the pandemic affected them and possibly some advice, I would greatly appreciate it. All the best! [link] [comments] |
| I Increased My Walking Distance And Time Today! Posted: 12 Jan 2021 07:57 AM PST Sorry for any formatting, I'm on mobile. I usually go for a long walk two or three times a week on my days off work, I make a vague route before going and take that route and make it a bit longer as I go along if I'm feeling up to it. At the beginning, it would take about 25-30 minutes to walk a mile and I'd have to stop a few times because of my problems with my knees and foot. I didn't give up and kept going and eventually managed to walk 3 miles in total, which doesn't sound a lot, but a couple of months ago, I couldn't even walk around the supermarket without my joints and back being in agony. I've been out for my walk today, my target was 3 miles and I made a vague route that would take me to that distance, then added bits on as I went along because I felt I could go more. I've walked a total of 3.5 miles on my walk today and cut my time to walk a mile down to 20 minutes. It doesn't sound a lot but I'm super proud of myself, I never thought I'd be someone who enjoys going out and exercising and pushing myself. I'm so proud of the achievements and NSVs I've had already, losing weight, getting a figure back, my clothes starting to feel looser and I wish I'd started sooner. I wanted to tell someone but I didn't know who so I thought I would post here. [link] [comments] |
| I'm 14F that weighs 265 and I need help losing weight Posted: 12 Jan 2021 02:14 PM PST Hi I'm am a 14F 5'5 being overweight/obese runs in my family and about a year ago I used to weigh 280 which was morbidly obese. I weigh about 265 now, I used to wear a US 3x in shirts but now I can be able to wear a 1x a few weeks ago. I want to lose more weight but I really don't know the best way to do it. I tried calorie counting and used MFP but people say that it isn't a good resource for me to use because of my age. I also run on this exercise bike machine that is in my house for 14 minutes but I don't know if that's enough for me to lose a few pounds. My mom has fruit and fruit yogurt in the fridge that I eat occasionally (tangerines,apples and sometimes strawberries.) I want to know if there's anything healthy I can make/buy for me to eat. I want to lose weight so I can buy more clothes for me to wear and to live a longer life. Sorry if I worded anything wrong. [link] [comments] |
| Don’t back down. Get what you want and win. Posted: 12 Jan 2021 07:20 PM PST I (27M, 5 foot 6 inches) am the heaviest I have ever been. Broke up with this girl I'd been seeing on and off for 5 years during the peak of quarantine (April) I remember lifting at my friends house and stepping on the scale for shits and giggles. I was absolutely floored. I weighed 230lbs. It was the heaviest I have ever been. I struggled to fit into my clothes. I was smacked with embarassment when i applied for a job back in July and they handed me an XL shirt. Growing up, I was the chubby kid with glasses. Often bullied and teased. I remember sucking my stomach in for pictures and people poking fun at my man tits. Girls would scream "eww" while walking past me in the hallways. Ive always read yalls stories on /loseit. Happy for every single one of yall. I decided to finally create my own loseit story. Currently floating at 209-212 lbs and I have been dropping weight every week. My coworkers/clients at work are shocked to see how much Ive changed. Im in awe myself. You cannot change your past. No matter how bad it was. But ill be damned if I have to go up another pants size or forcibly stretch my favorite shirts bc i cant fit into them. I want to be comfortable in my own skin. One day, I'll be able to take off my shirt and not have to suck in my stomach. Thank yall for ALL of your success stories. Always remember the end goal and give grace to yourself during bad days.

| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Wednesday, 13 January 2021? Start here! Posted: 12 Jan 2021 09:31 PM PST Today is your Day 1? Welcome to r/Loseit! So you aren't sure of how to start? Don't worry! "How do I get started?" is our most asked question. r/Loseit has helped our users lose over 1,000,000 recorded pounds and these are the steps that we've found most useful for getting started. Why you're overweight Our bodies are amazing (yes, yours too!). In order to survive before supermarkets, we had to be able to store energy to get us through lean times, we store this energy as adipose fat tissue. If you put more energy into your body than it needs, it stores it, for (potential) later use. When you put in less than it needs, it uses the stored energy. The more energy you have stored, the more overweight you are. The trick is to get your body to use the stored energy, which can only be done if you give it less energy than it needs, consistently. Before You Start The very first step is calculating your calorie needs. You can do that HERE. This will give you an approximation of your calorie needs for the day. The next step is to figure how quickly you want to lose the fat. One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of fat per week you will need to consume 500 calories less than your TDEE (daily calorie needs from the link above). 750 calories less will result in 1.5 pounds and 1000 calories is an aggressive 2 pounds per week. Tracking Here is where it begins to resemble work. The most efficient way to lose the weight you desire is to track your calorie intake. This has gotten much simpler over the years and today it can be done right from your smartphone or computer. r/loseit recommends an app like MyFitnessPal, Loseit! (unaffiliated), or Cronometer. Create an account and be honest with it about your current stats, activities, and goals. This is your tracker and no one else needs to see it so don't cheat the numbers. You'll find large user created databases that make logging and tracking your food and drinks easy with just the tap of the screen or the push of a button. We also highly recommend the use of a digital kitchen scale for accuracy. Knowing how much of what you're eating is more important than what you're eating. Why? This may explain it. Creating Your Deficit How do you create a deficit? This is up to you. r/loseit has a few recommendations but ultimately that decision is yours. There is no perfect diet for everyone. There is a perfect diet for you and you can create it. You can eat less of exactly what you eat now. If you like pizza you can have pizza. Have 2 slices instead of 4. You can try lower calorie replacements for calorie dense foods. Some of the communities favorites are cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash in place of their more calorie rich cousins. If it appeals to you an entire dietary change like Keto, Paleo, Vegetarian. The most important thing to remember is that this selection of foods works for you. Sustainability is the key to long term weight management success. If you hate what you're eating you won't stick to it. Exercise Is NOT mandatory. You can lose fat and create a deficit through diet alone. There is no requirement of exercise to lose weight. It has it's own benefits though. You will burn extra calories. Exercise is shown to be beneficial to mental health and creates an endorphin rush as well. It makes people feel *awesome* and has been linked to higher rates of long term success when physical activity is included in lifestyle changes. Crawl, Walk, Run It can seem like one needs to make a 180 degree course correction to find success. That isn't necessarily true. Many of our users find that creating small initial changes that build a foundation allows them to progress forward in even, sustained, increments. Acceptance You will struggle. We have all struggled. This is natural. There is no tip or trick to get through this though. We encourage you to recognize why you are struggling and forgive yourself for whatever reason that may be. If you overindulged at your last meal that is ok. You can resolve to make the next meal better. Do not let the pursuit of perfect get in the way of progress. We don't need perfect. We just want better. Additional resources Now you're ready to do this. Here are more details, that may help you refine your plan.

| Posted: 12 Jan 2021 04:22 AM PST So I binge ate today. My partner went to bed and I could closet eat anything I wanted. Hot chips with mayo, coco pops and snacks that are for my daughter. I wasn't hungry at all. I just ate. But I didn't go to McDonald's, I logged it all and I kinda feel ok. Normally I talk down to myself. That I've failed again, I'll be morbidly obese forever, I'm failing my kids, Im just shit. Then a binge turns into a break and I give up But this time I want to dust my self off. I didn't fail, one day doesn't make ore break anything. Tomorrow I will log and see how to improve. (More greens at dinner would have helped and a snack in the arvo) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 12 Jan 2021 11:52 AM PST I haven't been keeping track of my diet and health much. I knew I was overweight (I weighed 176 last year, when I last stepped on a scale), but was rather okay with it — after all, I told myself, I'm young, life is long, my career is great, my social life is thriving. I introduced gentle nutrition into my life and got better acquainted with fruits and vegetables, spices and glazes, roasting and baking. My skin improved, my hair improved, and I assumed my health would soon follow. I was cooking food that is healthy and tasty but often ate it during the same day as I ate fat-laden sandwiches, or tacos, or nachos. Now I weigh almost 200 pounds, and I really need to cut out the takeout food and improve my exercise commitments. I love my life, and I want to keep living it without worrying about health risks. I need to rethink what "moderation" is to my body (and my wallet, for that matter). I'm going to cut down my takeout food to once a week, and eat the food I prepare myself with love and happiness. I'm going to continue to remind myself life is long, and I don't need to lose all this weight at once. I'm going to walk the dog more often and cherish the time I get to spend with her.

| Posted: 12 Jan 2021 12:41 PM PST I'm on my way to lose some turning 21/nursing school/COVID weight. I have a very all or nothing mindset that I'm super aware of. So every time I try to be more active or anything like that I think the only way it counts is going balls to the walls. Lifting, sweating my butt off, running, high intensity stuff ya know. Lately I've been walking my puppy 1-2 miles a day and realized something so simple. Walking totally counts as getting active and even if it not super sore or pouring sweat from it it's still activity, it's still counts! It seems so simple and stupid for me not to realize this but I'm sure some of you get stuck like this. I can totally do a mile or two every day or every other day and it's still getting moving and being active. Not exactly a losing weight thing but ya know any activity helps and a lot of us have this similar all or nothing mentality. [link] [comments] |
| Life is too short to be depressed about food Posted: 12 Jan 2021 05:31 PM PST I've been sitting here for hours after a somewhat binge, after an already off-plan weekend, feeling like this is completely worthless. Why ever bother? I'm a total failure. But then it hit me. Am I seriously going to be depressed about the food I consumed? Sure right now I'm kicking my past self for making poor decisions that made me feel this way but is life really all about what food we put into our mouths? No. That's ridiculous. And this goes both ways, it doesn't matter if all I ate yesterday was a boat load of vegetables or if I ate 3 slices of cake, that day is over. The food is no longer of importance now. You/I can either decide to enjoy it and stick with that decision or forego it and STICK with that decision. I'm so tired of food being this massive source of either happiness or utter disappointment in my life. I'm either depressed I ate too much or depressed about the food I can't eat. What a waste of time and emotions is that? This realization just talked me out of my own toxic state of mind. Maybe it'll help you too [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 12 Posted: 12 Jan 2021 05:18 PM PST Hello losers, Tuesday gonna Tues, hope yours was fabulous! Weigh in daily, enter into Libra & report here: 234.2 lbs, 234.7 lbs trend weight. Reporting even if I don't like it! Stay within calorie range (1800): Binner, hovering at 1880. 8/10 days. Exercise 5 days a week: 30 minute lunch walk plus 30 stationary bike. 12/12 days. Self-care time (journaling, beauty treatments, anything that fills the bucket): Gonna have a long shower plus all kinds of skin care. A full gooping if you will. Try a new recipe once a week: Acorn squash with vanilla sugar, a new variant on green chili, bean mash & a honey mustard broccoli salad that really tickled me. 4/5 weeks. Express mindfulness and or gratitude: Today I'm grateful for sales on active wear. Friction kills even the finest compression leggings eventually. New pairs for the new year, hopefully less chub rub in my future :) Your turn kids! [link] [comments] |
| Little success story- 6 lbs down without being on a miserable diet/workout regime Posted: 12 Jan 2021 10:15 AM PST I'm 34F, 5 feet tall, weighing in today at 147lbs. Last weigh in was on Jan 1st at 153lbs so I'm feeling super happy with 6lbs lost! I think I'm pretty average with saying I hate strict diets and hard workouts. I'm too tired/busy/lazy. Plus a full time job, two toddlers, yada yada. But I realize I'm overweight for my height and need to do something about it. First big change was cutting out alcohol which certainly does suck on certain hard days, but it's become more and more doable as time goes on. My sweet tooth is in full effect as a result though, and I still indulge in the occasional sweet, but don't overdo it. I am eating when I'm hungry and not starving myself or limiting myself, but I'm making sure it's all healthy choices. I drink a gallon of water a day and have tea when I feel edgy for a bad snack. For staying active I wear an Apple Watch and try to close my rings everyday. I do low impact workouts but make sure it's nothing that I dread. Good luck everyone!!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 13 Jan 2021 02:08 AM PST I'm 22F, 168cm (5'6) tall and my current weight is 98kg (216lb). I've tried so many times to lose weight but I haven't been in my ideal weight since I was a kid. Growing up I was always taller and a bit chubbier than most of my friends, nothing some puberty couldn't fix. I thought it would just go away but every year I just kept gaining weight. I remember the first time I realized I has too big, my mom had weighed herself and then I did the same. I was about 12 years old? 13 maybe and I was already heavier than my 40y/o mom. I think around that time I used to weight 70kg. When I hit 90 I just thought i was meant to be overweight forever. By the end of 2018 I had my first heartbreak, I felt sad and lonely all the time. I started 2019 with no love for myself. I went up to 107kg, the heaviest I've ever been. I had tried so many times in the past to lose weight. My mom used to take me to see nutritionists, put me on diets, judge what I was eating etc. I mean, she was worried about me but still... So after a summer where all my pictures looked super bad I was like "enough is enough, I'm going to do it cuz I hate the way I look" I started going to the gym AGAIN. 5 times a week, writing down everything I ate to count calories. In 2 months I lost 10kg! Many things happened since and I've been stuck in the same 97~98kg. So I've decided that this time I'm not going to stop after -10kg. My goal weight is 60~65kg, Meaning I have to lose ~35kg. I feel good about it. Weighted myself last week and even though my weight is still 98kg, the computer showed I gained water weight and lost body fat %. If you read all of this I appreciate you so much, this means a lot. I'll do it this time, take it all the way down. I'll succeed. [link] [comments] |

| People are nicer after weight loss Posted: 12 Jan 2021 12:08 PM PST Hey, y'all! GG here with my first post on loseit. I've lost 42 pounds so far (over 2 years) and am at the point where the change in my physicality is noticeable. I've gone down about 3 pants/dress sizes and all in all my body is more condensed. I've started to notice that although nothing outside of my weight has changed (still the same loud and opinionated gal), I am being treated differently by people. Not my friends or family, but generally out in the world folks. Cashiers and grocery clerks are WAY nicer to me, people are kinder and go out of their way to offer assistance (opening doors, offering to carry things), and I generally am just given more respect on a day to day basis from other humans. It is an absolute TRIP to say the least. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how do you process the knowledge that people judge you more positively simply for being smaller? How do you feel about yourself after these interactions? I know my worth is not determined only by my size, but it is still a jarring experience when confronted with this behavior from the public/random people I interact with. *Edited for clarity [link] [comments] |
| Obese family members and emotional abuse (listing rant) Posted: 12 Jan 2021 12:14 PM PST I've been overweight since I was 9 years old and was obese throughout high school. I developed PCOS and was very nearly a prediabetic. I'm 20 now and it has been so hard to form new habits regarding food. But I am about 40 pounds down from my highest weight, 15 pounds until I am a healthy weight, and 25 pounds until my goal weight. Things that contributed to my childhood obesity: -Homemade food mostly bland, quantity was king. -Parents yelling at me to finish plate of home cooked meals. -Daily exercise not prioritized. Once a month we took a 3 mile hike or a 5 mile bike ride. I had to quit rec sports because my brother's sports were prioritized. -Goal of takeout was to order enough to be uncomfortable full. -Clothes shopping became depressing and a game of what fits the loosest. -Dessert every night. -Always have ice cream and cookies in the house. -Observing my mom binge eating/emotionally overeating. -My mom taking me to bakeries when I was having bad/sad days. Examples of emotional abuse: -Dad would pinch my fat rolls and laugh at me. -Guilt trip me in saying snacking fruits and veggies were more expensive than chips/junk food. -Gaslighting me when I went to see two dietitians saying that I just have a slow metabolism/muscular and not to listen to medical professionals. -A dietitian I saw with my mom when I was 12 said that my mom is the one responsible for prepping snacks/meals in response to my mom saying I was too lazy to make salads. That was the last appointment. [link] [comments] |
| Gaining weight despite constant exercise, and clean eating. Posted: 12 Jan 2021 10:05 PM PST I recently lost 5 lbs from constantly running long distance, about 7-10 mile runs 1-2 x per week. The weightloss started about the second month into my running and continued slow and steadily for about 7 months, with little to no change in diet. Then, I had stomach problems that sent me to the hospital, causing me to lose another 5 lbs (10 lbs total since my weight loss efforts) which I kept off for a few months until moving. Eventually, it became too cold for running, and I slowly started being less active and noticed I had gained about 5lbs. So to stay active I began daily boxing and spinning, and recently joined a few friends in a daily workout challenge over the past week or two. Since this past week, I have gained another 5 lbs and after all that work and maintenance, I'm back to where I started... I've always geared my eating towards making the healthier choices available to me, and this past week (where I've gained five pounds) I have extremely limited snacking, and if I do it's lentil chips, fruits, nuts, and a small piece of dark chocolate at the worst. But other than that I've stayed away from high starch foods (other than beans), eat whole grains, lean proteins, and try to fill up on fruits and especially veggies. I've even switched to tea over coffee, and been drinking about 5 large bottles of water a day. This past week I have also started doing daily abdominal strength training without weights, just bodyweight, which takes about 30 minutes, but it's extremely difficult for me. But I am also still doing daily boxing for about 30 minutes and spinning for 15-30 minutes... I can't possibly figure out why I'd be gaining weight... I'm fairly calorie deficient, eating whole grains, lean proteins, plenty of greens, and healthy fats... Has anyone experienced something similar? If you have any advice or explanation for why this is happening it would be greatly appreciated, because I have been working my butt off and somehow I seem to only be getting heavier in a very short amount of time. *also, I'm a female, mid 20s, always been fairly active, and not necessarily overweight but definitely not skinny.

| Running with LoseIt - 1/12/2020 - The Journey Begins with a Single Step Posted: 12 Jan 2021 10:47 PM PST This is a weekly post for the runners of LoseIt. I aim for this to be out each week on Monday or more often Tuesday. All levels of runner are welcome here, from first timers to experienced marathoners. We welcome someone who just ran for the first time or is just starting couch to 5K (r/c25k) as eagerly as someone who has thousands of miles of experience. This post is for sharing your weekly progress or excitement with running. From training you got in this last week, your first run, a virtual race, or a real race, we'd love to hear what you did. Got a running related NSV (non-scale victory), we'd love to hear. Have a question or need advice, we are here to help. In addition to sharing your progress each week, I ramble on about some topic related to running. This week's topic -- where to start your journey to running. The Running JourneyRunning is very challenging. If you are sedentary, running just 30 seconds is very hard. Someone who is somewhat active can also find any running at all leaves them panting and sweaty. Ever run to catch a train or bus and find yourself winded? I was certainly this way when I started my journey. In fact, I had given up on running to catch stuff. If I couldn't hustle with a brisk walk then it wasn't happening for me. The First StepThe first step for me was walking. I always enjoyed walking and as I started my weight loss journey and my journey to running I also started to walk. At first I used my old iPad mini to track my steps while I listened to music. This was a hidden little feature Apple snuck into their MP3 players. I made progress on my walks, logging 1000 steps. 2000 steps. 3000 steps. The progress was compelling and more than that, I enjoyed being outside and being active. Walking turned into hiking which turned into treadmill training. How did you start the journey towards running?Share your own story of how you started running. What got you hooked?

| What are small things you do every day to keep losing weight? Posted: 12 Jan 2021 06:19 PM PST So far I've gone from about 242 at my heaviest to just now hitting 192 in the morning two weeks back which is the lowest I've ever been in years (yay!). I try to bike and do push-ups and sit-ups each day (with not being able to use a gun and all) but with working a demanding job I come home pretty exhausted in the evenings now and am almost too tired to bike or anything and on top of that I feel like I'm starting to fall in a habit of making my lunch for work or snacks that used to be healthy, just quick and convenient from whatever is around the house instead of planned out... I know weight fluctuates during the day and especially after you eat but about an hour after dinner I just clocked in at 198.5 and I feel like I'm back tracking and I don't want this to happen.
