| I am an adult woman who cannot dress herself. Posted: 05 Feb 2021 12:42 PM PST I've been a bigger girl since I was young. So like a lot of people, clothes shopping was torture. I've been treating clothes as though their only function is to regulate temperature and to cover my body. As I've lost / am losing weight, I have to buy new clothes. But I honestly don't know what looks good on me, what I like, or even what fits correctly. And I don't have friends who I could go shopping with. I want to find out what I like and what looks good on me, but I don't have any idea on how or where to start. It's embarrassing to be nearly thirty years old and not have any style or sense of fashion. Does anybody have any advice or resources for this? [link] [comments] |
| Small Achievement but still so proud Posted: 05 Feb 2021 07:29 PM PST So I've been working two jobs for a little over a year now and what I would do after a long day of jobs was eat a big meal right before bed. I often stopped for Taco Bell or Wendy's or made some dinner or just snacked til I fell asleep even if I wasn't hungry. I just would eat because I was bored and tired or angry but today I got home from back to back jobs and I didn't snack or eat. Didn't stop for food. I was driving home and realized I wasn't hungry and when I got home I didn't snack. I really wanted to but I didn't. I've started using MyFitnessPal to count calories and am trying to change how I view food and so far it seems to be working. [link] [comments] |
| Wet hair post shower weighs 1.8 lbs Posted: 05 Feb 2021 07:42 AM PST I saw a discussion the other day about the importance of weighing yourself at the same time everyday, not necessarily the same time like 8:00 on the dot, but at the same step in your daily routine. I think people starting out maybe don't realize how big of an impact things like bowel movements, salt intake, how big of a meal you ate last night, what you ate (my weight is always higher after eating red meat the night before) have on your daily weight fluctuations. Anyway, I weighed myself before a shower, then washed my hair which is medium length and thick/curly, then weighed myself again. My wet hair added 1.8 lbs to the scale. I thought I'd post this for anyone having a day where the scale bummed them out. Weighing myself consistently and paying attention to the variables has removed a lot of the scale anxiety from my life. It's just data! The first time I lost weight, I was obsessed with weighing myself and really let the number affect my mental well-being. I think a lot of times the automatic response people give to someone like that is to hide the scale, which is probably good for some people. But to me, using the scale and working to remove the emotional response from it is another totally viable option. [link] [comments] |
| down 8 pounds with "intuitive" restriction Posted: 05 Feb 2021 11:57 PM PST i haven't been able to sustain weight loss or keep weight off all my life. what might be different this time is that i'm not really "doing" much -- just eating 3 small'ish or "reasonable" meals a day and keeping sugar to a bare minimum (this might be key in curbing my appetite). i'm not calorie counting and not completely banning any foods, both of which have exhausted me in the past. along with limiting sugar, i want to eat more vegetables; i think the body wants a certain amount of substance to chow down on during the day so as not to deprive the senses, and it's better if that substance is not calorie dense. our bodies evolved for calorie scarcity and to some extent maintaining a good weight is a matter of tricking them, like you might encourage a child to do something beneficial but not-fun by making a game out of it. i have high hopes that i can eat this way for the rest of my life and turn out to be not as fat after a while...no rush. my goals are to not have high blood pressure, and to not get dirty looks from other passengers on airplanes. i don't need 6 pack abs; i just don't want to be obese. other things to throw in: eating slowly and mindfully, exercising, drinking lots of water. what are some things that might trip me up? please pray to Macuilcozcacuauhtli (aztec god of gluttony) for me :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Feb 2021 11:21 PM PST If i'm jobless and a mess I at least want to be fit. I tend to eat just one large meal a day but I think I have to cut down the amount of rice I eat substantially (which sucks because I love rice). [link] [comments] |
| Self sabotage after positive experience? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 08:36 PM PST So I was trying to analyze my own mind and I'm coming up blank. So I'm currently losing weight and I've notice that I'm repeating an old pattern. Today at work I got a lot of attention. Attention in general has been slowly increasing as my confidence has also increased. Which is only partially due to weight loss. I'm doing a lot of work on myself internally with therapy. After this attention (mostly from the opposite sex) I went home and binged. Not a lot, but I did overdo it to the point where I feel a little sick. This is a common pattern I repeat. I get attention or recognition and I immediately self sabotage. Not just with romantic attention either, even though it's less with other things like work, school, or my hobbies. I'm trying to figure out why I do this and am having a hard time dissecting it. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas on questions to ask myself to figure it out? Its turning into a real sticking point in my health journey. [link] [comments] |

| dropped out of the triple digits today! Posted: 05 Feb 2021 09:01 AM PST broke up with my boyfriend in July and since then i've been on the revenge weight loss warpath. i peaked at 116.2kg/256lb the day after we split up. today, i weighed in at 99.5kg/219lb. in high school, i was pretty active, cycling, running or hiking 1-2hrs every day. but i ate like a beast, and at 16, i graduated at 95kg/209lb. i gained 20kg in about two years. i've lost most of that in under 9 months. i do feel as if i've 'cheated' a little bit - i've had the assistance of metformin for my pre-diabetes - but i've still been putting in effort behind the scenes. i'm so excited, as my joint pain eases, to get back into exercising more regularly. and i'm so keen to see just how far i can run with this in 2021. wish me luck!

| From 463 (210 kg) lbs to 286 (130kg,) lbs in 18 months Posted: 06 Feb 2021 01:57 AM PST I wanted to share my journey. Hello everyone. In July 2019 I faced a very difficult period in my life. I witnessed the passing away of a dear relative due to crippling diabetes. I has a long distance relationship with my girlfriend being able to see her only a few months per year and I was the fattest and most miserable I've ever been in my life. I had tried to lose weight many times before, but every single time I'd give up after a few weeks. The excuse were endless, "My metabolism is messed up", "it's on my genes", "I can't see results regardless of how hard I try", etc. I reflected for long with myself and reached the conclusion that all of the previous affirmations were lies I told myself to justify my obesity. I know this since I've lived it in my skin, obesity, the morbid kind of obesity is not an accident nor it is being lazy. It's a mental-eating disorder. You won't be able to beat it unless you realize that it is an actual illness you need to beat by yourself. I started eating what a specialized nutritionist told me to eat. I ate very little for a month and I did lose 35lbs. However that kind of eating was not sustainable. I decided to start eating healthier and manage portions by myself. I'm by no means am expert but what I can tell you is that the three most important things to lose weight for me, were the following: 1. CUT DOWN CARBS: I try not to eat more than 150gr of carbs a day, generally choosing whole wheat bread, pasta, rice or oatmeal. (Portions should reflect your size, I'm 6'4 so perhaps if you're shorter, eat less grams) 2. BUY A DIGITAL SCALE FOR FOOD: Weighing your food is the only actual way to keep track of what you eat. 3. SUPPORT SYSTEM: I would say if you're an adult and have the option to live by yourself, this helps greatly, since you can buy only the food you need to eat. If not, sit down with whoever you share a household with and tell them that their actual support means the world to you. It actually can be a matter of Life and death. -BONUS TIP: Physical activity does help, however during the first months I'd refrain from it since it will make you more hungry. Try to go out for a walk for at least an hour a day. Exercise is not actually needed to loose weight but it will help you feel better. The more you go out an walk, the faster you'll do it and it will improve your metabolism without making you super tired or hungry. Once you're a third of your goal down the line, you can start exercising more heavily. I still need to loose 50-60lbs (20-30kg) but I know it will take me much longer now. Guys and gals. Trust me, i was one of you. I cried looking at myself at pictures on social media. I saw clothing items and longed to be able to fit in them. I felt scared that I'd never be able to make it. And I managed to do so with relatively low effort. Just focus on yourself, be selfish for once and do everything you can to help yourself. If you have any questions, feel free to reach.

| Lost 90lbs. Still trying to be the best version of me. Posted: 05 Feb 2021 04:42 AM PST My starting weight was 271lbs,at 23 yo,5''11. I was down in the dumps after dropping out of college with little to no idea what to do in life. My family was disappointed in what I've become after being a good student in high school. I stopped caring. Just simply gorging food late at night because I can't sleep and keep wasting my time gaming. One night, I felt my chest collapse on me as I lay on the sofa.It scared me so bad that I slept in a seated position. All night long, I cried thinking this was how I'm gonna die. That morning, I went for my first walk in a long time.. I walked for 2 hours straight. I got home, planned what I needed to do and said to myself it's now or never. Best sleep in years,that night. For the first 2 weeks,I walked everyday. Then,I got myself a gym membership.From then on,the rest is history. I worked multiple different labor jobs in order to get myself more active. This was my pics in September. I'm still on this journey today and I'm planning to do an update once I reach my end goal as the title says. Current weight is181,at 25 yo. So,guys. don't give up on yourselves. Be strong and be patient. The journey's far,but it's one that's worth the struggle. I'm still on mine and I will never be off of it [link] [comments] |
| I really want rules...but my therapist advises against them. Any suggestions? Posted: 05 Feb 2021 08:49 PM PST Background: I have a history of eating disorders and depression. While my therapist supports me in losing weight for health reasons, we both are conscious of my mental health/state while going on this journey. I also have PCOS and endometriosis that make weight loss a little harder. I really want rules like "only 2 treats a week" or "no eating after 7 pm," but my therapist says that those will likely put me in a negative mental space and won't be helpful. I want some guidelines, my friends! My biggest issue: right now I do great in the morning and daytime with staying full but eating minimal sugar, high protein, complex carbs, and fruits and veggies. Then comes the night when I just get cravings and bingey and I just want to eat food. It's not that I'm not eating enough, it's that I shouldn't still be eating, but I'm having a hard time not putting "rules" on myself. I know this is complex and it may be beyond the paygrade of fellow redditors like yourselves, but if you have any suggestions from your own experience, I would love to hear it. [link] [comments] |
| That’s it, I’m getting my body ( and my life ) back. For good this time. Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:34 PM PST I'm 26, male. I used to be around the 150lbs mark (I'm 5'8) , going to the gym 4 times a week, happy with my body and confident. When I look at my old pictures, it feels like a different person. During the last two years I've been through a toxic job and an abusive relationship. Quit the job to start my own business and it's going well so far, currently in the process of evicting my then gf, fingers crossed she'll be out in two weeks. I fell into a dark depression, a vicious cycle of self loathing where I ballooned up to 220 lbs at my highest weight because of comfort eating. This made me unable to get the motivation to make a change even further as I got more and more down on myself,trapped in the job, trapped in my apartment with her and now also trapped in a body I hate. I started some diets that were never really successful and I yoyo'ed a lot, I now sit at 190lbs. I've been doing CICO again for the past week, I'm hoping to get back to 150 by the end of the year. Any tips to help me stick to it and keep the motivation going ? I tend to do really well for a couple weeks then fall back to unhealthy habits, I've started using myfitnesspal hoping this would keep me on track. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Feb 2021 12:22 AM PST Hey y'all. I've (19F) been at this on and off for a few years but committed properly again at the beginning of January. I lost around 2-3kg in the first 3 weeks but my scale refuses to go down at all now. Not even by 100g. Some mornings I wake up a kg heavier than the day before but I always drop down to 83.3kg again at some point the next day. I weigh my food, I burn more than I eat everyday (I use a fitbit and never eat back more than half of what I burned and try not to do it at all) and I tend to overstate my calories. There is literally no way I am not in a deficit. My budget at the moment is 1400 and according to 'loseit' i have only gone over this budget 4 times and I always make up for it the next day by keeping further under. I eat balanced meals, I try and keep on my feet. I work out as often as possible, typically everyday but sometimes only 3 days a week of HIIT training and bodyweight exercises depending on my schedule. I can't really do weights or anything because I'm healing from a radial fracture. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is I feel like I'm doing everything how I should be so why isn't it working? Help.

| Posted: 06 Feb 2021 12:50 AM PST Started dieting (1200kcals per day, 99% plant-based) just under three weeks ago and it's going very well - lost around 19lbs already (I know much of this will be water weight). My skin has improved considerably, I have so much more energy and my sleep has been '''amazing''' - I'm getting a full 8+ hours uninterrupted sleep every night. However, when I wake up in the morning, I have painful aches on one of both sides of my mid-to-lower back (the "kidney area") from where I have been laying down. I am primarily a side sleeper and sleep with two pillows to help my breathing. I have a double mattress with a memory foam top. This has only started since getting good sleep and over the past week or. In the beginning and prior to dieting/losing weight when my sleep was poor I wouldn't get this, but I would be tossing/turning in bed a lot more and waking up several times a night. There are so many variables but I just thought I'd ask on here incase anybody has experienced similar? It could be so many things:
Any suggestions most welcome. Thanks. [link] [comments] |

| Nothing like a health scare to kick you back in gear Posted: 05 Feb 2021 11:10 PM PST I was walking twice around my block everyday even on days I worked (which is basically more walking) and being careful with food. But then I came down with Covid and besides quarantine its kinda hard doing anything when your throat and nose both feel like you ate fire. I've gotten better but haven't gotten back into routine, well this evening at work my right foot suddenly felt like I was being stabbed, thought it was a cramp so I tried walking it off, only to have my foot go completely numb and be forced to take a ambulance to the hospital (couldn't drive myself and my family was otherwise preoccupied elsewhere) They say it could just be a strain and I should get some ankle support for work (with those plus my knee brace I'm starting to wonder if I should get s desk job...) however they also mentioned it could be a early sign of diabetes, the only reason they're not too concerned is aside from my pulse being higher than normal (EMT described it as someone getting warmed up for a workout) all of my other vitals and blood sugar was normal. Guess it's time to jump back into losing this weight, I think I've done some good so far I've cut out soda New Years eve so it's just exercise and eating I need to focus on. [link] [comments] |
| My last 5 lbs until my GW and I am stuck in a plateau Posted: 06 Feb 2021 01:30 AM PST So I have lost 62 lbs so far in 11 months. I'm only 5 lbs away from my goal. I'm 150 and want to get to 145. It started last month really I noticed my weight loss slow down dramatically. Especially close to when I'm going to start ovulation and I'm used to that. But lately even after my period I work out everyday and still count my calories, And yet I'm still the same weight. The last time I had a plateau like this was when I first started my journey and I was stuck at 210 for a month. I do realize that weight loss slows down the less you weigh but I would really just like to see 140s lol. I'm hoping after my period I'll have a rush. I just would like to see something change. I was stuck on 151 last month and only lost 3 lbs the whole month unlike the last month's when I would lose 5 to 6 lbs. I've also noticed now that I'm smaller I am a bit more hungry. And as a woman I know my body tries to hold onto some fat. I count my calories but now that I'm smaller I can't live off 800 calories as a deficit. I still eat super healthy tho so idk. Has anyone else had this happen to them as well in their last 5 lbs? Should I try something different or just wait it out? Am I still making progress? Advice would be great or shared experience.

| Don’t like eating in the evening Posted: 06 Feb 2021 01:23 AM PST Hi guys, I'm female 5.3 9 stone 5. History of yo yo dieting through out teens, now feel happy in myself but weight is creeping back on. I know what I should be doing, but recently don't fancy eating a lot after work. I like to have a decent breakfast, normally toast, 1 slice with marmite and 1 slice with marmalade, I will have a good balanced lunch and some snacks, drink 1L of water a day, I know not enough. But when I get home about half 6 I just don't fancy cooking or eating a heavy meal. What can I have that isn't crackers, salad, sandwich etc? I try and do FODMAP as I have a sensitive stomach. Any suggestions welcome. I should probably cut down on carbs! [link] [comments] |

| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Saturday, 06 February 2021? Start here! Posted: 05 Feb 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.

| Finally not depresses, gonna loose some weight Posted: 05 Feb 2021 06:29 PM PST I'm just making this post for myself basically. I'm gonna start hiking and try to get in shape. I've never been in shape really, and I'm sick of it. I just weighed myself, and I weigh about 267.5lbs (cheap cvs scale though). I've been eating a lot healthier, and I'm proud of myself. I'm done with junk, and am eating less than I would normally (tons of junk food). Im eating healthy stuff, fruits and stuff like kimchi and miso soup. im looking for some advice on what to do. I thought hiking would be a good start, I have a rucksack that Ill use later on with a little weight to help my endurance. I have a gym membership, but im wayyyy too anxious and awkward to use it. any tips for that? [link] [comments] |
