| 56 lbs down and it’s a vibe: Holi 20 v. Holi 21 Posted: 29 Mar 2021 06:23 AM PDT Hi everyone! A year back I was dealing with flaring PCOD, aching joints and in general, a lot of self hate. Since then, I have worked on my weight by controlling my diet and resolving my eating cycles. I started at 270 lbs. and I am now around 215 lbs. I am happy about the improvements I am already seeing in myself. And I'm excited to see what else is in store for me. Incidentally we are celebrating Holi - the festival of colours in India. My routine: No routine as such. I cut out sugar and unnecessary junk food and carbs in my food. I maintained strict fasting regime. I tried walking as much as I could. My PCOD is much better and my insulin resistance is gone. I don't feel self conscious about making a hair bun because my neck isn't dark anymore. I am still overweight close to obese but it's still better than obese category II. Here's a then and now picture of Holi 20 v. Holi 21 [link] [comments] |
| I didn't hate Florida. I didn't hate summer. I was just fat. Posted: 29 Mar 2021 01:34 PM PDT I've lived in FL since I was 12. From 13-22 I was 125 pounds, then I ballooned up to 175 by the end of college. At that time I started complaining about the heat--started saying "I wanna move up north again." Or "Summer is the worst season. Autumn is the best, obviously!" But now that I've lost the bulk of that weight, I've realized... I was hot because I was fat. And because I was fat, I wore long-sleeved shirts and layers to cover myself up. Like... Yes, Florida is hot. Summer in Florida is really hot. But you know what helps A LOT? Wearing shorts and tank tops. And I was never able to wear those confidently at 175 pounds. Now that I'm a healthy weight again, I feel confident enough to wear those things. And losing all that weight means I don't sweat or feel hot nearly as easily as I used to. Sorry, Florida; sorry, summer. Ya'll are okay in my book. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2021 12:49 AM PDT I've lost about 100 pounds in quarantine and now I'm scared and anxious to see my family or friends. I went from 265 to currently 163lbs - and I'm still trying to lose more, but I'm scared to even go outside. That could very well be that I was locked away for basically a year but I get so anxious whenever I do have to see anyone. I was hoping people wouldn't comment on my weight but that's all they seem to talk when they see me. And it gets brought up every single time. I still don't know how to react and while they do mean it as a compliment it makes me feel utterly shitty because I now know what they thought of me when I was big. I wish they'd treat me the same as they did. I hate being put in centre of attention. I'm getting to the point where I just want to be left completely alone so I wouldn't have to listen to the constant weight talk Not to mention I only saw my family and couple of close friends and that already did a number on my mental health. I haven't even seen any other "friends" or people that knew how I used to look like. I don't use social media, I don't want to run into someone and get the same "what the hell, where's more of you?"

| Down 35 lbs but feeling even worse Posted: 29 Mar 2021 11:23 PM PDT Just weighed myself for this week and I'm officially under 200 lbs (just barely at 199.3 haha). That's down from a starting weight of 235 lbs on New Year's Eve 2020 (for reference, I'm 21 m 6'). I feel like I should be really excited: that's a lot of weight, I visibly look much better in the mirror, its super apparently with my clothes, and I'm finally out of the obese BMI range and about halfway in the overweight range instead. But honestly? I feel like shit instead. Even after losing all that weight, I still look super fat in the mirror and it just makes me realize even more how bad my starting point was. I'm also thinking about how, four or so years ago in high school, I was around 170-180 lbs and still felt fatter than all of the other guys and was embarrassed to ever wear tshirts or go to swimming. Now I'm down 35 lbs and I still have 20-30 more to lose just to get down to a weight which I used to think was incredibly fat. And who knows how much after that before I'm at a normal weight I'm happy with. I'm honestly really surprised that this was my emotional reaction, and I don't know what to do or tell myself to make me feel better and to keep going. Any advice from anyone who experienced something like this before or has ideas is much appreciated [link] [comments] |
| Need advice about embarrassment at the gym Posted: 29 Mar 2021 08:28 PM PDT Originally posted in r/fitness, but no one replied. Copy pasted here hoping someone might be able to help. Hey, y'all. I just got off the phone with my doctor and I am... Not in a great place right now. I'm 30 years old, male, and with a BMI that could run for president. Turns out, after not having insurance since I was 18, I now know I am diabetic, I have high cholesterol, a fatty liver, and a couple other things. I did recently quit smoking, though, so at least there's that. I have to start going to a gym after my second covid shot. But I am so embarrassed. I know people don't look as much as I feel like they are, but I can't help it. I hate my body so much. I hate being seen in public, and avoid it whenever possible. If anyone of you gave ever felt this way, how did you get past it? How did you start going to the gym? The idea of going there, surrounded by good looking people, and here I walk in, a fat ogre with a broken tooth and a receding hairline... It makes me want to curl up into a ball and die. How do I get past that? How did you? I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, and I appreciate any help anyone can offer. [link] [comments] |
| The whole 'you don't need to exercise to lose weight' phrase really confuses me. Posted: 30 Mar 2021 03:52 AM PDT Apologies if this is the wrong place to post, but I really wanted to 'vocalise' this. I get that you don't need to exercise to lose weight, but I feel the strong reaction against exercise for weight loss is because some people may have thought they can go for 3 x 30 min runs a week and still eat what they want and have not lost weight. Fair enough, that probably wouldn't ever work. However, it's a dangerous rhetoric because I always find that after a week with more than average (for me) exercise, I ALWAYS have a great result on the scales. For instance I may go for a 4 hour ride on a weekend day, and 3 x 5 mile runs during the week, and boom, great result on the scales. Another week, I may be busy or hit with a bout of lethargy, and only manage one run. Boom, a weight gain. I am fully understanding of the fundamentals of CICO (calories in vs calories out); so eating the same both weeks will result in different outcomes depending on the calories I expend on the higher than average exercise week, hence why I feel the phrasing around exercise not being effective for weightless maybe needs to be toned down somewhat. Essentially if you're ultra disciplined in at least one area, you will do well. Be that exercise, you maybe don't need to eat as well and as consistently as if you don't exercise. Myself, I tend to eat OK. I try to eat more good things, rather than fewer bad things, but exercise is for sure the thing that tips me into weightloss. I'm not posting this here because I see a lot of this rhetoric, just figure some on this community may see the same things I do, or be able to challenge me on my views expressed here. :) [link] [comments] |
| Beer and weight loss - a graph! Posted: 30 Mar 2021 03:41 AM PDT On 27 October 2020 I woke up and started getting ready for work. I had a closet full of nice business shirts but none fit me. I stopped and stared at myself in the mirror. There was no denying it. I was fat. No, I was obese. Starting that second I quit drinking. I also started dieting, counting every calorie. And I started running. Almost every day. At first I could barely run for 30 seconds. Now I can run for an hour straight. Except....life's hard sometimes. I fell off the wagon with the drinking. Twice in fact. For a whole month each time. I kept running and dieting every day but I was drinking a case of beer per week over Xmas / New Year and then again from mid Feb to mid March. It's not a great feeling when you've been hungry for a whole week and exercise until you're soaked in sweat every day, and then do your weekly weigh in and actually gain weight. I don't want to jump to any conclusions here, but... I've had teams of data scientists working around the clock analysing my weight loss data, and preliminary findings suggest there may be some correlation between drinking large amounts of beer and not losing fat.

| Posted: 29 Mar 2021 09:05 PM PDT In 2017, I had begun a weight loss journey. I clocked myself (then, 29f, 4'9") at just over 160lbs. I've always struggled with eating - under and over. After struggling with severe restrictions (I have obsessive compulsive disorder and the caloric restrictions was more a compulsion than a true eating disorder) my OCD took me on another path away from severe restrictive eating. I gained weight, and eventually gained nearly 70lbs. Over the course of just about a year and a half, I lost 40lbs. The large weight loss contributed to exacerbating some gallstones I didn't know I had and gave me severe acid reflux, for several days I could barely swallow water let alone eat. And once I could eat... well, I started living more a maintenance lifestyle. I was happy at 120! I I stopped counting calories. It was okay, really. Until it wasn't. Life hit, and it hit hard. I ended my relationship with my boyfriend of ten years, I quit my job and moved home in the hopes of getting a better job. A global pandemic hit. I was extremely depressed, extremely anxious, and packed the weight on very quickly. Since then, I've gotten into therapy, I got that job, I have a nice apartment and a wonderful, amazing boyfriend (who unfortunately lives in Europe and travel restrictions suck). I'm much happier overall, except the weight. So here I am again, not quite starting from scratch but at 140. Today, I get back on the wagon. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Mar 2021 07:00 PM PDT Lately, I have been dealing with a lack of support losing weight and I wanted to see how others have dealt with this issue. A little background about me. I am 22M, 6'2, and started at 295lb/133kg and I am now 195lb/88.4kg. My goal weight is to reach 185lb since that would put me in the upper range of the "healthy" BMI range. I have been overweight for all of my life and the start of 2020 I decided I would reach a healthy weight. I am going to reach a weight where I am able to enjoy life to the fullest. However, the last couple of months I have been questioned and suggested by my family why I continue to lose weight. My mother is obese but my brothers are considered in the normal range of weight. This first started around 215lb where I was forced to justify why I was going to continue to lose weight and why I wasn't stopping. I have continued to justified my position of losing weight ever since and finally when I reached 195 they all told me I needed to stop to lose weight. It is frustrating constantly being told by people around me that it isn't healthy getting too skinny and how it is not necessary to lose more weight and how I should be happy where I am right now. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of issue? I'm just unsure why they are telling me why I am too skinny and they are worried for my health (Which they were not when I was severely obese) and I just do not know what to do. [link] [comments] |
| Gaining 50 pounds in 5 months...time for a change. Posted: 29 Mar 2021 07:35 PM PDT Hey everyone! I have been relatively overweight my whole life and I'm ready to change that by developing a healthier lifestyle and losing weight. I am currently a 16-year-old male, 6'2 feet tall, and 261.9 pounds. I've tried to lose weight many times but haven't reached my goal because of a lack of commitment and an unrealistic calorie deficit. I began gaining weight very quickly recently because I stopped working out and ate a lot of snacks without keeping track of them. In the summer (August 2020) I weighed about 211 pounds at my lowest so obviously, I gained a lot of weight since then. But I'm ready to work hard! My plan is this: 1800 calories a day (apparently my maintenance is 2,500 or more), work out with weight training 5 days a week with a run 5 days a week as well (rest on weekends). I plan on eating one form of protein each meal and a fruit/vegetable. I will count my calories in myfitnesspal as well. I will weigh myself once a week on monday morning and log it into myfitnesspal as well progress pictures. My plan is to lose 1 pound a week with this program and my goal weight is 185 pounds. I want to be comfortable with myself, be confident in how I look and be more healthy. Does this plan sound good? I welcome any and all advice/tips! What do you guys think my current maintenance is? Thanks for reading have a great day! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2021 03:10 AM PDT Hi everyone My bmr is like, 1100 on the calculators and I stepped on a machine once and it said it was 1000 when I weighed about 13lbs more than I do now. How do I get everything I need on such a low number? I'm worried I will miss out on essential nutrients. A healthy 'volume eating' style meal can easily be near my total daily calories even if it's mostly veggies. I'm chronically ill so my TDEE isn't even up to what they consider sedentary (office job would be way more sitting and standing than I do) I'm guessing there's some petite people on here who have mastered this, so if you have I'd love your tips! I feel like I have no room for error here with such a low number. I also don't want to be constantly hungry. TIA [link] [comments] |
| SW: 275 CW: 250, 25 Pounds down and only beginning. Posted: 29 Mar 2021 08:11 PM PDT Hello, First post here so sorry if it isn't formatted properly. Just wanna give some motivation to people. Quarantine was not great. It made me super depressed, was not eating right, and was not exercising. I stayed off the scale for months, the last time I weighed myself was February 2020. I weighed in at 225 pounds. A year later, I weighed myself again, this time it read, 275 Pounds. Once I saw that number, I knew I had to change. I started watching calories and Intermittent Fasting, and its amazing what 1 month can do. Today, 1 month after watching my weight, I weighed in at 250 pounds. I am so proud of myself, while I am nowhere near finished, I promise myself I Finally will. My Goal weight is 180 pounds, and no matter how long it takes to get there, I will. My message to those who feel they will never lose the weight, or feel like quitting. DO NOT GIVE UP! [link] [comments] |
| I wanna lose more, but should I? Posted: 29 Mar 2021 08:54 PM PDT It's been a long and winding road and I'm happier with my body than I've ever been. But still not very happy. I'm currently at a BMI of around 21, which I know is low. The problem is that while I've lost a lot of weight all over, I still really want to get the remaining fat off my torso without making my arms and legs any skinnier. I already have someone telling me I need to eat more because I'm too skinny , but they haven't seen me shirtless. I still have a gut and love handles. I'm scared that if I lose the amount I want from my mid section I'll be wayy too skinny. But as it is I'm still extremely self conscious of even taking off my shirt even though I'm a man. Wtf do I do?? [link] [comments] |
| Immense guilt when "cheating" - anyone else? Posted: 29 Mar 2021 06:16 PM PDT Hi everyone, I've been steadily losing weight since December. I started at 170, am down to 145.6, and am very close to my goal weight of 140. In all that time, I've had one cheat meal and have never gone over my calories. I'm very proud of myself for being so disciplined and really sticking to nutrition (that's what's always derailed my attempts at getting in shape in the past - I love to exercise, but also love to eat like crap.) I've really changed my eating habits. Well tonight, we have no groceries at home because my boyfriend and I have been so busy with work and school that we basically just forgot to go grocery shopping. Oops. Guess that means we're eating out, which is fine, I've eaten out once since I started losing. But this time feels different, because the last time I ate out was only about two weeks ago and I don't feel like I've earned it. My boyfriend is out picking up the food right now and I'm stressed about the fact that I'm going to eat chicken strips, fries, and coleslaw. Every rational brain cell I have is screaming that it's fine, I probably won't even be out of a deficit today and definitely not for the entire week, but the little troll that lives in my brain is so disappointed at the untrackable, unplanned cheat meal. I'm honestly scared by these feelings because I'm afraid that this is a sign of an impending eating disorder. Can anyone give some advice for feeling less guilty? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 29 Mar 2021 04:20 PM PDT So I WAS feeling super proud of myself for losing 20lbs at a steady rate of 0.5lb/week and finally getting into the "normal" BMI range (yeah I know BMI is bullshit but I can't lie it felt good to hit that milestone regardless of how arbitrary it is). I'm F 29 5'3 SW 160 CW 143 GW idk 130-135? About a week ago I decided to go shopping because I haven't been in a clothing store/dressing room since before covid started, when I was 20lb heavier. Just gonna say it was bad experience and I left feeling so defeated and down about my body (dressing room lighting + wack women's clothing sizes are not good self esteem boosters??). I felt like there was no point in continuing because I was never going to look good/feel comfortable in my skin anyway and I let those negative feelings and lack of motivation turn into a week long binge. I logged everything (yikes) but that didn't seem to stop me because for a full seven days I ate on average ~2,700 calories/day, which is a pretty major overshoot even for maintenance cals (been losing on ~1500/day) lol oops The scale has gone up 3.5lbs and while I know some is water weight, I would not be surprised if a good chunk of that is fat gain. I know 3.5 pounds sounds small but when you're short, every .5lb feels like a huge feat and I'm bummed to have gone backwards. I'm feeling puffy all over, my digestion is effed up, skin is breaking out, just not good feelings overall. I'm staying away from the scale for a couple weeks for my mental health and to focus on feeling better physically. I've managed to get back on track the last 2 days and moving forward I'm just trying remember that you can't change the past and to focus on the pros- 1) extra muscle fuel for my workouts and 2) this lit a fire under me and I'm feeling super motivated to pick up where I left off! If you recently fell off the wagon too, brush it off- take a break, don't quit! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2021 03:36 AM PDT M/32/244lbs I know everyone mentions about eating more veggies or protein or this or that. I try salads but I absolutely detest them. Took me like 1 hr to finish a store bought salad about two weeks ago and that was a real strong endeavor. One thing I do worry is my arms getting way too bulky. Trying to lose this gut but sometimes it seems as if I am simply adding muscle to my arms. Legs feel stronger so it makes it far easier for me to do some jogging from time to time. Any recommendations? I'd love to try for 15miles a day but that'd be like 5 hrs of walking and kinda difficult to imagine when working 40hrs a week. Any activities that might help burn calories a tad faster? I noticed when I was skateboarding or kicking my soccer ball around for an hour, i lost a decent bit. But I wanna keep it up.

| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Tuesday, 30 March 2021? Start here! Posted: 29 Mar 2021 09:31 PM PDT 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.

| SW: 205. Today: 146. Officially "normal" weight. Posted: 29 Mar 2021 08:05 AM PDT 5'4" male, for relevant information. 147 is what the BMI says is normal for me, so that was a big landmark for a long time for me. My next goal post is 135 (my college weight), then about 120 for my final goal - still "normal", just light, which is what I want. I used to do costuming, and I haven't been able to fit in my old suits in years, and my self-image is just that of a light guy. It's been years since I've weighed this much. I was pretty excited when I saw it. When I see other people eat or I just can't stop thinking about how good a pizza or burger would be or something, knowing my efforts are actually working helps to keep me motivated and able to say "no thanks" when offered things to consume. Just pretty happy and wanted to share. [link] [comments] |

| Second week of dieting is about to come to a close.. And I'm 5lbs up Posted: 29 Mar 2021 09:20 PM PDT Really disappointed in my outcomes for how tough it's been to adjust to my weightloss plan. I know weight fluctuates based on how much food is still being digested but I can't help but feel like I've hit a wall both physically and mentally. I'm 5'7" and just weighed in at 185 after hovering around 179 for my first week. I've been tracking my food intake pretty diligently, bought a food scale and have been wearing an activity tracker. My calories in have been below my calories out and still I havent seen any positive movement. It's so demotivating and sort of knocking me off the path and making it hard to want to work out at all.

| I’m Starting to feel Like I Can Sustain This Posted: 29 Mar 2021 09:55 AM PDT Officially 5lbs down! I feel like it's working! I'm officially starting my 4th week of my lifestyle change (meal planning, daily 1hr exercise, 4-6 days a week, med-low intensity) I've hit 5lbs lost! An average of 1.93 lost per week, which is EXACTLY what I was hoping for! I know it's a long journey ahead. I still have over 100 to lose, but this feels SUSTAINABLE for me If I can lose 50 lbs by my birthday in September I will be so damn happy I've been tracking on a weight loss-tracker and it's really good to see the graph. It's only a month, but I've been tracking daily and seeing the ups-and downs with a net loss it feels good! How are you guys doing? I'm so glad I joined this sub, I feel like all the things I've been doing are good, and I have enough inspiration to keep me going until I hit my goal! And honestly beyond, just so I can maintain a healthy life :) [link] [comments] |
| Painless Scraping Feeling/Sound in chest since starting HIIT Posted: 29 Mar 2021 06:40 PM PDT Hi guys, So I am quite an unfit person in general but at the start of Feb I decided to really try and lose some weight and overall feel better and healthier. I started doing really intense HIIT in Feb and have really been pushing myself. I then started incorporating some weights dumbbell workouts (literally just using YouTube dumbbell workouts for women) and also going on walks every day or at least like 5 days a week. I noticed a few weeks ago as I was getting dressed I noticed that when I turn a certain way (so when I angle my shoulder backwards away from my chest and then pull it in again) there is a loud scraping noise and feeling right in the centre of my chest. I can't feel any pain or even really actually FEEL something scraping off something but it just feels off and I've been really worried and anxious about it. It sounds kind of like when you rip a piece of paper really fast or literally just a bone scraping off another bone. I noticed it again tonight & It kind of got a bit louder too. Again it doesn't feel painful but I'm just worried. I made a doctors appointment because I needed to anyway and took this as my prompt, but it's in two weeks and until then I wanted to post here. Should I be avoiding anything? Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing and should I be concerned or is it probably just because my body is undergoing a major change as I was so inactive before? [link] [comments] |
| The lightest I ever remember being. Posted: 29 Mar 2021 09:33 AM PDT 18F 5'2 SW 193 CW 137 GW 120ish So today, I weighed myself, and I'm at 137! I wasn't even this light at 12 years old. I'm slowly approaching my goal weight. Once I'm at 120, I will be trying to become toned and build my muscles. I'm very excited that I'm almost at maintaining rather than having to be in a deficit for any longer. I started losing weight in September of 2019, where I lost 10 pounds in a month, but after that, it usually has been a slow but steady pace of losing weight. I have shorts and pants I bought at work that are goal pants! Some workout biker shorts and my boyfriend's boxers are no longer too tight on the thighs like they were a month ago! I also feel I can exercise for longer, which I think is not just due to me exercising but also due to me not being as heavy. I have people I have known my whole life saying they don't recognize me. A woman from my church who I have known since I was a baby told my mom she has to do double-takes, that she almost doesn't even recognize me. I don't have the best relationship with my dad, but my dad had noticed my weight loss and told me good job when I told him I had lost over 50 pounds. These small victories are great:) I still sometimes feel bad in my body, and how it looks, it's hard not to in times where we can so easily compare ourselves. I may not look like Madison beer, but I have gained discipline and healthy habits through my weight loss, which matters a lot more than how I look. [link] [comments] |
