| This month's diet is next month's body = TRUTH Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:10 PM PST A new month has arrived, are people seeing results? The effort we put in pays off gradually so it's worth checking in regularly to really look at the changes in your body as your journey progresses. Just think about how you'll look at the start of next month if you work hard for the next few weeks. Then think about what you'll see in the mirror in six months. Then next year. The future is so bright. For me I've eaten well and maintained a good calorie deficit, focusing on getting a lot of protein. I've worked out five days a week all through January and managed to drop 11 pounds. I've been doing squats and other resistance work at home as well as walking my dog. I can't believe how much muscle growth I can see already and the few people I'm allowed to see say they can see a difference. I'm so pumped and excited to emerge from global lockdown a strong, healthy person. I think my family are getting tired of my weight loss chat though so it's nice to be able to share here. Keep going everyone! Keep getting stronger and challenging yourself. Self discipline is the highest form of self care! [link] [comments] |
| Today I am 5 years older, 100 pounds lighter, and incredibly thankful for this subreddit. Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:38 AM PST I can't believe I am finally writing this - but here I am, officially 100 pounds down as of this morning! When I started following this subreddit, five years ago, I could never picture what I would look like at a lower weight. As a kid, I was always fat. I never developed healthy eating habits and as I grew up, I just kept getting bigger, no matter how active my hobbies were. In college, the food and alcohol did me no favors. After starting my career, I realized that I wanted to lose weight. My goal was always a size 12 - it seemed obtainable. Not skinny. Not too fat. Attainable. I stayed at a size 12 for a long time, almost two years, as I hit a plateau and bounced up and down between the same 10 pounds. I was also pretty happy at this weight. This past year, I found my motivation again. I lost another 25 pounds. (Plus, I've learned that dress sizes are a terrible way to judge your weight and health!!) I'm here to tell you that you CAN do it, even if you:
... or any other negative thoughts floating in your head. I lost my weight slowly by counting calories and getting moderate exercise. I learned to cook healthier meals, control my portions, and to always measure high calorie ingredients. It was a lot of little changes that snowballed for me. Now, I keep my temptations (french cheeses! fresh bread! ice cream!) in small quantities around the house to avoid over snacking. I cook most of my own meals these days, even before quarantine. That being said, I still bake. I still go out to eat. I have days where I have a few drinks, where I skip my workout, or where I finish the whole pint of ice cream on my couch. That is ok. Don't get so caught up in the journey that you forget to enjoy life along the way. ETA: I've said this a lot already but THANK YOU for the kind words and for the awards! I wish you all the best of luck as you lose/maintain/work towards a better lifestyle! Also, I acknowledge the awkward title... it made sense in my sleepy/excited brain this morning.

| A year after having my baby I have lost ~70lbs Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:21 AM PST I started using weight watchers and after a few months I incorporated IF. I also walk ~5k a day, try to keep my steps above 10k a day. I learned a lot especially that I can't be perfect all the time but I can still make progress. Before when I would eat something "bad" I would let the floodgates open and binge but something I learned in therapy really hit home for me: If you run a red light you don't think "Oh well I ran that red guess there's no point in stopping at any of the rest!" Everything is a choice and I have the power to choose. Thanks to all in this community for the support you offer!! [link] [comments] |
| This is it. I am totally over this. Posted: 04 Feb 2021 08:24 PM PST I made a reddit account to make this post. I am usually a lurker. I got my second covid vaccine today and the woman who gave me my shot asked for the pink needle. Excitedly I asked, "Whats the pink needle? Is it Pfizer? Is it to mark the second vaccine?" No. It's for fat people. And also very muscular people they said but obvi that wasn't the case with me. I lost 100lbs 3-4 years ago and have yoyoed with both pregnancies since. I gained 40lbs last year while my dad was terminally ill. I am totally over this. I am at my highest weight in years. so hey, here we go. SW: 266 GW:199 You may be seeing me around here. I love this sub. [link] [comments] |
| Just left the doctor’s office...no longer pre-diabetic! *high-fives* Posted: 04 Feb 2021 07:14 AM PST And it was news to me. I didn't even KNOW I was technically pre-diabetic. I've always had weight issues and I've gone to the doctor annually for wellness checkups because of my eating disorder and simply consuming too much and not enough working out. I guess my doctor either never explicitly said I was pre-diabetic until now or I blacked it out and literally just refused to acknowledge it (sounds dramatic but I have severe image/weight issues). Anyway, turns out not only and I no longer pre-diabetic, I've lost 17 pounds in the last year, 22 pounds in the last two years. I'm...just astounded. This has been a lifelong struggle, and I can't believe I'm under 200 pounds. This feels like a dream, honestly. [link] [comments] |
| I lost all the weight I gained during 2020 from the pandemic/stress binge eating! Posted: 04 Feb 2021 12:42 PM PST There's probably very few places I can post about this without getting a negative comment, but I gained about 8lbs (probably more like 10lbs as I gained back the weight I started to lose early in the year) but as of this morning, after doing CICO for the last 4 weeks I've lost the 8lbs I gained. So now I'm back at 150lbs which is the weight I started at last year, but now, I'm a bit less stressed... things are looking up, I have a better idea of what dieting looks like and have lost a much more significant amount than I did last January. But if in 4 weeks I lost 8lbs just doing CICO, eating whatever I wanted... I think I can get to my goal weight easily. I may have to make a few changes as I get closer to my goal weight as my maintenance/TDEE will change as I begin to weigh less. I have dieted SO many times, but now this feels more do-able and realistic. When I was 135 lbs I was going to the gym 4 days a week, going HARD. And the weight loss was stagnant. I basically lost little to no weight at all in the span of 3 months. Maybe the same amount I've lost actually now??? But in like twice the amount of time. But it took so long and I was working so hard, so I felt so discouraged and stopped and ate whatever and stopped counting. Of course over time I gained more and more weight. I got older, my body changed. Maybe it's not possible to be 128 again, but heck if I can do this without hitting the gym then it's worth trying again. There were times between then and now like early last year or in 2017 where I started counting calories again but never let myself eat junk. And I think that was what did me in and made it impossible to keep going. I would eventually break and eat something sweet, binge and then the next day be like "well, looks like I can't do this" and give up. But now, I'm eating around 1200-1300 each day, I still eat chocolate and candy. I had some vegan pop tarts this week. But I estimated the calories (I tend to overshoot just in case I'm wrong with my math) and if I can fit it into my day, I eat it. And if I can't fit it into my day, then I fit it into my day tomorrow and remind myself "I don't have to eat it now. I can eat it tomorrow. If I don't eat it now, I can still have it later." And then I do, and I'm happy and still get to eat the carb filled junk I was craving the day before without binge eating it or restricting myself. I think I've finally realized weight loss is really just about mindset. It's less about what you can't eat and what you can. It took me years to get to this mindset, it was not easy, but it's totally possible and helped me so much. [link] [comments] |
| A realization I had about cravings Posted: 04 Feb 2021 11:57 AM PST I am a sugar and food addict as well as an emotional eater, so cravings can be really intense sometimes. For me, indulging in these cravings is purely a pleasure and reward seeking activity, and can even be a borderline spiritual experience, lol. I imagine how good it will taste to satisfy the craving (usually fast food) and satiate my hunger, literally salivating while I dwell on it. But once satisfied, the reward is short lived and then come feelings of shame, intense guilt and regret. The intensity of the bad feelings mirrors the intensity of the craving. In my most recent efforts to lose weight (CICO + IF, need to lose about 80 lbs.) I've been trying something new. I let myself think about the craving, but then I also take a few minutes to fully imagine myself indulging and allow myself to experience (in my head) the negative feelings that come after indulgence. For some reason, something has really clicked with this, and it's been successful at stopping my worst cravings most of the time, almost taking the mental aspect of the craving "full circle." If I'm hungry and it's time to eat, I then imagine eating something I'm supposed to and experiencing the positive emotions that come after. Once I actually eat the healthy food, those positive feelings are reinforced. I'm sure this doesn't work for everyone, but it's honestly changing my relationship with food. I feel like I hacked my brain! I've also been in therapy since September, which has been helping me deal with my emotions in a healthier way. It's definitely not always easy but it's so worth it. :) [link] [comments] |
| No straight lines in weight journeys... and it’s ok. Posted: 04 Feb 2021 11:25 PM PST For anyone who needs to hear this today, it's ok if you have ups and downs in your weight. Your life has ups and downs too. It doesn't mean you're failing or can't hit your goals at your own pace. 40F here, and I just logged my lowest weight since high school. High school. That's before I was a fully (over)grown adult, and after being the youngest person at the local Weight Watchers meetings. I've been battling my weight my whole life. I probably always will. But it all finally clicked 7 years ago, with the best motivation (post break-up revenge) and discovering the Lose It app (CICO). It worked. It was just math. I broke a 10-minute mile for the first time in my life. And I held onto most of the loss for several years, with a little creep, until a stressful 2019 and disastrous 2020 took me right back to where I was. Seeing that old 181 number on the scale did it. I started counting calories again the next day. I got my thyroid tested so I could blame it on age and genetics. Nope. Just quarantine margaritas and 300 steps/day. The line looks steep, but this latest effort is 30lbs down since July, which is about 1 pound a week. Not quite done yet, and I know maintenance will be a challenge. But last week I went for a walk, and j just started running because it felt fun. [link] [comments] |
| Scale showed 159.8 tonight. I’m almost there with plenty of time left! Posted: 05 Feb 2021 01:18 AM PST I'll try to keep this short. 31M, SW:190lbs, GW:150lbs. I usually weigh 185-190lbs depending on season. I'm in decent shape, I always carry a bit of pudge around but I'm certainly not obese. I try to do a marathon (50 miles) mountain bike race every year with my dad and he beats me every time and never lets me hear the end of it. I barely finished a few years ago and failed out the year after. Haven't been back since. After one too many comments from the old man, I decided this was the year I take the trophy from him. Started counting calories and switched my focus at the gym to my legs and cardio. Finally got below 160 tonight with a target weight of 150 by July 31st. I'm gonna make it. I can run faster and further than I've been able to since I was 18, and I feel great. I've set aside saturdays as "cheat day" and eat a Dairy Queen blizzard and usually a larger, more junk foody dinner, aside from that it's sub 2000 calories every day of the week and it's working great. 165-160 was MUCH slower though, 190-170 flew by like nothing. Didn't know where else to post about this, everyone at work just makes fun of me because I don't eat the donuts and pizza, but I'm excited and proud. Man I miss Doritos. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:33 PM PST Please forgive me if this is not the right place for this, but I've been meaning to unload this. Maybe it will help someone, or maybe it's just for me to clear my head. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 09:02 PM PST "You can't outrun your mouth." I heard this recently and it was a revelation. I played college football, and have really struggled with weight since I started working 9-5 about ten years ago. As an athlete, we know what it takes to be fit and unfortunately we are well aware of the effort required. However, while I had stopped working out like a college athlete, I never stopped eating (or drinking) like one! Recently I've started eating slowly, drinking lots of water, and have lost 30 pounds. Exercise helps me feel mentally and physically better, but it's eating less that has taken off the weight. If you are working out hard or dreading the work it will take to look and feel like college you, don't stress! Weight loss is 90% diet and 10% exercise. [link] [comments] |
| From 350lbs to 250lbs in a Year - Weightloss Update w/ Pics! Posted: 05 Feb 2021 02:29 AM PST SFW Gallery (Body measurements, body composition, face and hand comparisons) Here are also NSFW comparison photos, so that we are keeping it real! (Underwear is best when drawn on lol) It has officially been a year since I started my journey towards getting healthier. At the start of January 2020 I set a goal that I would be on this journey for at least two years, as sustainable weight loss and active lifestyle would be easier to obtain that way. Sometimes, this decision frustrates me. I want to be "there" already. Not that I know where "there" is, lol. On some days I look at the scale and think "Oh, only 100 pounds lost, why couldn't I do more by now, others have done it too", and on other days I am like "Wow I haven't been this size since I was 15 years old!" I suppose this is all part of the journey. But I see now more clearly than ever why some people fall off the wagon at this point and go back to their old, comforting habits. You can't expect to compete in a sprint when you signed up for a marathon. So, I decided to make a list of what I am proud of in my journey so far:
Every time I read a post on this subreddit, I feel super glad to be part of a community that supports others. If you have any words to keep me motivated, please share! I feel like at this point in my journey I really need someone to encourage me, as my family is unfortunately more the jealous talking-behind-your-back type... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Here are some things that helped me lose the first 100 pounds/45 kilos: Food habits
Exercise habits
Lately I have been super stressed with running my own company and trying to finish my master's at the same time, all the while navigating the current messed up world situation (and bad financial situation due to it). I have also been playing games to escape reality a bit too much. After January I was feeling super down about not keeping to my routines, so I had to make this post to remind myself that I have, in fact, made drastic changes for the better this last year, and can absolutely keep at it. Let's keep moving forward with everything we've got, we've got this!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:23 PM PST Ok... so yeah, it's been a bit rough lately lol - I want to state first and foremost that the "c" has given me more than it has taken - I have never meant to take anything for granted but now I am so so thankful for each and every day! Anyway....I gained this weight over a 3 year period prior to being diagnosed and relate much of it to the medical problems I've had - I'd like to know if anyone has any advice for someone like me. Sometimes it is hard to get in the physical activity I need due to pain but I'm pushing as hard as possible. Related to the fibromyalgia (caused by medication I must be on for another 4.5 years) I can't help but to realize that this extra weight is definitely causing me more pain. We live on a farm and of course have feed for our animals - when I pick up one of the 50 pound feed sacks it makes it brutally obvious that this weight is hurting me in a million ways (literally every nerve ending in my body) - I mean if I could take it off and walk away I'm sure I'd feel amazing (or at least much better)... just like sitting down a bag of feed carried for a distance tells the tale. My advice to anyone having as much weight as me to lose is go to a feed store and pick up one of those bags - it's a real eye opener - carrying this all the time is HORRIBLE - I wish everyone on here success as we are all fighting the same battle - I'm doing 16:8 right now and would like to maybe water fast 2 days per week - If anyone has had experience with the things I'm dealing with and have any advice I would greatly appreciate you sharing ❤️ Thanks to all!

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 4 Posted: 04 Feb 2021 05:33 PM PST Hello losers, Almost Friday! It's been a day and a half over here. Boy howdy would I like to eat the house down and then eat cake on the busted foundation. Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & report here even if I don't like it: 234.2 this morning, 233.5 lbs trend weight. Annoyed by the roller coaster but it is just a number. I know I'm doing what I need to be doing. Rabble. Stay within calorie range (1800): Went a little over last night, still at or below maintenance but it's a slippery slope. I need to make sure I'm being VERY mindful of that & not eating exercise calories back. Right at 1825 today with a steak dinner. 3/4 days. Exercise 5 days a week: 30-minute brisk walk at lunch is all she wrote today. 4/4 days. Self-care time (journaling, beauty treatments, anything that fills the bucket, nonfood rewards): I'm going to put a pin in this, I'm sure I've done stuff but my brain is not cooperating. Try a new recipe once a week: Identity crisis chili (because it's kind of red & kind of green). 1/4 weeks. Express mindfulness and or gratitude: Today I'm grateful for that feeling of taking your shoes & bra off at the end of the day. I'm mindful that I am very tired in body & spirit so being gentle with myself & expressing some self compassion is just what the doctor ordered. Your turn! [link] [comments] |
| Confessions of a Sugar Junkie... Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:42 PM PST Confessions of a Sugar junkie. Well This video was a hard one to make. I remade it like 3 times because I kept deleting it thinking maybe I was oversharing about my addiction. In the end, I think it's important that we share these kinds of stories and talk about this stuff. Have you ever thrown food away so that you don't eat it, only to go back later and fish it out? I have, and I'm pretty ashamed of it. But you know, this addiction has made me do a lot of stupid things. Anyway, here it is, I doubt I'm the only one, and if I am, at least it will make some of you guys feel a bit better about your addiction! Thanks for being here! Day 5 of my sugar sobriety, by the way. [link] [comments] |
| as my magnesium intake goes up, my appetite goes down Posted: 04 Feb 2021 09:01 PM PST Ever since I started tracking micronutrients last December I noticed an interesting trend...the higher I get my magnesium intake, the less hungry I feel for the next few days. Have you tried it too and does it work for you? Do you want to try it? I'm losing the last few pounds of quarantine fluff and it actually wasn't budging until I got my magnesium intake high enough to lower my appetite. There isn't much left for me to lose to get to my goal weight (current BMI 22ish, goal BMI 21ish?)...this is where weight loss slows down if everything isn't just right and I wonder if this is one of the things that needed to be just right. [link] [comments] |
| Beginning my weight loss journey Posted: 04 Feb 2021 06:52 PM PST About 2 weeks ago, I started using "Lose It" app (coincidentally) to track my caloric intake as a way to lose weight and get back down to optimal BMI. I supplement this with light exercise throughout the day, e.g., sit ups, squats, and push ups (I've never been an exercise person so it's all new to me). My goal is to get down to 150lb which is the about the optimal BMI weight for person of my height and gender (5'9" male). I don't know if I'm aiming too high or not but my current weight 193lb with starting weight of 196lb. So I'm already seeing some results (caloric tracking was much easier than I thought esp. with help from the app)! I have grown bit of a pot belly over the past decade plus and I've finally decided to do something about it as I'm not getting any younger and I would like to be healthier. Just wanted to share my journey with you all. Thanks for the virtual ears. [link] [comments] |

| Hoping for 115LBs weight loss in a year! Posted: 04 Feb 2021 10:34 AM PST I currently weigh 390lbs and would like to be down to 275lbs by Feb 2022 (down 115lbs). I am 31 and F. The reason I am looking to loose weight is to just feel more healthy and within the next few years my husband and I would like to have kids and I want to be able to teach them how to live a healthy lifestyle/have a healthy pregnancy. To maintain my weight I would have to continue to eat 3439 calories a day (yikes!) but I aiming for 2600. I plan to start doing beginner's yoga, as a low impact work out, along with just dancing (I love to dance). Once I get near 300lb I plan on doing more involved work outs. Last year I focused on my mental health and got that in check (therapy and now on Zoloft) and this year I plan on focusing on my physical health. Any advice or words of encouragement would be great!

| Posted: 05 Feb 2021 12:37 AM PST I can't take it anymore, after dieting for months I still have this awful fucking stomach I've had my whole life that I JUST CANT GET RID OF. I want to fucking starve myself so I can have a restart and gain weight healthily after that, but I know starvation is horrible for you. But honestly it sounds like the best choice atm. The worst part is I'm not even that overweight, according to BMI I'm around 5 lbs overweight. My arms and chest are big and decently built and my legs aren't fat either, ITS JUST MY STOMACH. I was cursed with these awful stomach genetics and I'm just struggling to do something about it. I don't know what to do anymore. Starvation sounds really good [link] [comments] |
| I’ve been losing weight but feel like I’m cheating and know it’s unhealthy. Posted: 04 Feb 2021 04:36 PM PST I've been gradually losing like 1-2, sometimes 3 pounds a week but not in the healthiest way. I have severe ADHD, recently (and finally) diagnosed 3 months ago. While stimulant medications have helped SO much with my overall mood, binge eating disorder, depression, anxiety, and general focus and social life, I forget to eat too much. I feel like my overall appetite has changed as well because this happens even when I don't take my medication. I also forget, am too busy/in a rush, or eat too little (my appetite in the morning sucks) before I take my med which results in me throwing up, but this only happens roughly 1x a week and has gotten better since I keep protein snacks in the car). Before anyone says anything I do not have an eating disorder, it is 100% from nausea induced by the med. This usually occurs when I'm in a situation that I can't eat food but had to take it, like at clinical (12 hour shifts) or school (we can't eat in the classroom due to covid so I can't eat breakfast in class :( ). To fix this issue would involve getting up earlier to eat but I already don't get enough sleep as it is. I'm in my last semester of nursing school and have a ridiculous commute (40 min) to campus and then an hour commute to my clinical days. It was honestly easier last year when we were half online. Plus there is never-ending coursework, job applications, and interviews. My roommates are distracting as fuck, one is chronically ill so I try to spend time and help her with things and another one has a personality disorder so I'm constantly talking her down from insanity. They try their best to not bother me but it makes it difficult to do things for myself at home.My schedule is all over the place and there's not any way to make it consistent as of right now, which makes establishing a proper exercise routine so hard. My boyfriend is sweet and helps cook and meal prep which has helped but I still have to spend a decent amount of time meal planning and cooking too. I definitely move more than I used to but it's really just walking. I would love to jog but haven't been able to consistently get back into it. I was able to jog last year and enjoyed it. I haven't this year because the times I'm actually able to exercise vary, and because of winter it will usually be nighttime/dark. I feel uncomfortable jogging then because I worry about tripping. Due to safety I also take my boyfriend on the night walks with me, but he doesn't necessarily wanna jog, or if he's up for it he never seems to want to do it as long as I do. I also want to strength train but have no gym access, however I have resistance bands and know I can do those and body weight exercises. I am just so tired by the time I'm at home or done with something so I only get to it maybe once a week. I know I am making excuses with this though, it's so important to do strength training while losing weight. I can literally feel my muscle strength depleting but I'm just so fucking tired by the time that there is time that I don't bother with it. Other than this I've been making a conscious effort to eat healthier foods and don't really eat crap anymore. However I know I'm not getting enough calories, like today all I've had is maybe 6oz of salmon and cauliflower rice, and some Greek yogurt with no desire to eat more and that's probably like not even 1000 calories. I used to use MFP religiously and can sort of eyeball how much I'm having now, but using it now would just be another chore and not really help my issue. I'm also a broke as fuck college student which plays a part in my food options, along with that I've been trying to eat more of a pescatarian diet because thinking about factory farming makes me really sad, so I've made it my moral goal to not eat red meat and I will rarely have chicken. I have bulk bags of things like chickpeas, lentils, and beans which are great but these take time to soak and cook, which I don't usually have. I do try to make big batches and meal prep with them though! I just don't eat them enough but I'm working on it. I also have PCOS so I am trying my best to avoid refined carbs and sugars. Because of these dietary changes I know I'm eating better nutritionally, just not enough. The only reason I'm not drastically losing weight is because I still struggle with BED though, although less frequently. Anyway I know I am probably making excuses and can fit things in my schedule if I tried harder it was just kind of nice to vent here. I keep telling myself things will be easier after graduation, which it definitely will, but I am somewhat of a perfectionist and would like to have these issues sorted out now because I care about my health more than I ever used to. I haven't been this low of a weight in probably 5 years (203 today, I'm 5'6 and highest was 246). I'm approaching the "onederland" and it is just not how I wanted it to be. I want to deserve it! Anyway thanks if you actually read all of this [link] [comments] |
