| "If i looked like you i would exercise everyday" Posted: 19 Mar 2021 06:02 PM PDT I saw the post by skinnycap1 and wanted to share my exerience with random rudeness because of my size. I(26F at the time) remember two semesters ago i was catching the elevator to my room. Admittedly it was on the 2nd floor and we were in the basement so not the most strenuous walk but i had already spent all day walking around campus and just didn't feel like walking the two flights that day. I was with two male friends (i thought) and one of them gave me a look and asked if i lived on the 2nd floor so i said yea. And I'll never forget he said. 'If i looked like you I'd exercise everyday" It was such a random thing that had nothing to do with what we were previously talking about and he doesn't speak english natively and in the past he had mixed up words before, so i just assumed i heard something wrong and asked him what he meant. "It's not clear?" Looks me up and down "i mean if i looked like you i would exercise everyday" Me and the other friend were flumoxed at first and the other friend jumped to my defense saying it was unnecessary to say that but he just said some variation of "I'm just being truthful" and "she's not my type" By then i was mad because you don't have to like my size, it's totally ok to think I'm not attractive, but i never expressed interest in him, never asked for his opinion, and never brought up my size to him. On top of that at that point i had lost almost 20kg by then, so i just shot back with. "That was unnecessary. I think your hair looks like crap but i didn't feel the need to tell you without you asking". Perhaps random and a cheapshot, but i wanted to make a point and seeing his offended look i saw he atleast knew how i felt in the moment about random criticism. The next day he tried to apologize... By following me alone in a stairway and grabbing my wrist. After that he slowly alienated himself from everyone in the lab and I'm still on my weight loss journey. UPDATE: i didn't expect this much support from the loseit community! THANK YOU FOR THE AWARDS! i just wanted to share my experience so maybe if you encounter some jerk you know you're fully entitled to defend yourself and be confident! Thanks for hearing my story and being kind! I'm feeling more motivated to stick to my weightloss. I'm trying to answer everyone but i don't get all notifications sent to my phone so I'm checking manually now [link] [comments] |
| I got laughed at for ordering a skinny cappuccino. Posted: 19 Mar 2021 07:09 AM PDT Made a throwaway cos not comfortable posting this on my main. What is with the double edged sword that if you're overweight and not doing something about it it's not ok, but also if you are then it's also not ok? Just going about my daily business and in an outdoor queue to order coffee, which I do, a skinny cappuccino without a second thought. Along comes the barista with my order and shouts "skinny cap" like every other coffee establishment, and as I go to pick it up there is three young women (not teenagers that I might be more forgiving of but say 22-25) sneering and laughing at me. One muttered something along the lines of should have just gone for an Americano. Now I know this is a one off, and just something small that I should take the high road on. But when did it become ok to not treat someone like you'd treat anyone else just because of their size? Edit: Just editing to say first thank you for all the kind comments edging me onwards. I wanted to post this to highlight the hypocrisy overweight people often face, and for me this is at a time where I'm 42 pounds down. Also thanks for the awards. [link] [comments] |
| I made it to Onederland! Im so proud of myself Posted: 19 Mar 2021 07:40 PM PDT After 3 months, I have finally successfully dropped the 21 lbs needed to get back into the 100s. It's the first time in 5 years that I've been under 200 lbs and it was my first goal. I counted calories before but with all the health issues I've been having post Covid, I stuck with it this time. Also, I cook everything from scratch. Next, I think I need to work on upping my protein next and doing light exercise (still challenging with post covid bs). Any advice on interjecting light exercise into my routine would be great. Unfortunately I'm still sleeping for 10+ hours a night post illness but I'm hoping to squeeze in a few things between cooking and work. [link] [comments] |
| I am officially no longer obese! Next stop, Onederland! Posted: 19 Mar 2021 09:55 AM PDT The title says it all, I finally go to the point of being under a 30.0 BMI. I weigh myself every Friday morning and I found myself reaching this amazing goal. I weighed in exactly at 207 lbs. which brings me to a BMI of 29.7 since I am 5'10". I know BMI isn't the best thing to go by but, it was a goal to not be obese anymore once I started this journey. It just feels so good to see my hard work paying off and I really wanted to share it. I honestly can't remember the last time I haven't been classified as obese. I've been going through older pictures of me when I was still in my teens and couldn't find anywhere I didn't look super big. Even though I have reached a milestone, I am nowhere near done yet. My end goal is to reach 175 lbs. but, my next goal will be to reach Onderland. A place that I haven't been to that seems like forever ago. This subreddit has helped me a lot and I can't thank you all enough for making such a great community to be a part of. I will go ahead and share the progress with you all that I took last week when I went clothes shopping since I am going on a little vacation this coming week. I have some other posts on my account about what I did to get where I am but, if you have questions about what I did please feel free to ask. I love to share my experience with those that are starting or are looking for some new ideas to help their journey. [link] [comments] |
| NSV - Walked/Ran a Half Marathon today! (With a mask on) Posted: 19 Mar 2021 06:49 PM PDT Basically the title. Today I walked/ran 13.4 miles with a pace of 13:14 min/mile (I took just under 3 hrs). I never thought I'd be able to do something like this. 10 months of calorie restricting and walking everyday, and I've lost 65 lbs and can do a half marathon. It doesn't feel real. I've felt guilty for years for allowing myself to gain so much weight, but today I feel proud of myself for being able to reverse those mistakes. I'm only 3 lbs away from defeating obesity. I was so happy earlier I actually cried. I'm so grateful for being able to improve my health during this pandemic. Stay safe everyone. How I achieved this: Last June I was 280 lbs and sedentary. I decided I really wanted to lose weight, so I started logging my food into my fitness pal and walking everyday. I restrict to 1750 calories and track my walks with MapMyRun. At first, I walked only 2 mi per day. After 2 months and 20 lbs lost, I increased to 3 mi per day. Slowly, as the weight came off and walking further became easier, I would try to walk further. I went 4 mi per day, then 5. Then I set a rule of minimum 3 mi per day, and when I felt like it I would go longer (up to 8mi, then one day I went 10!) Just recently I have felt so much better that I can jog/run short intervals. Then today, I felt so energized that I just decided to walk further than ever, 13 miles. My tip is to not pressure yourself into exercising for longer amounts of time. Do it when you feel you can and when you are ready, and the progress will come. [link] [comments] |
| About 37lbs down, progress pics Posted: 19 Mar 2021 06:15 AM PDT I had a baby 14 months ago and I'm pretty sure I gained weight after having her! I thought I could eat what I want because I am breastfeeding. This is not true! Shouting this louder for the people in the back! 🙈 I'm 5'1 and my highest recorded weight was 87kg (191.4lbs) in May 2020, four months after giving birth. I've been exercising every day between running and walking and I'm also doing CICO, which I discovered on this sub. I'm weighing myself tomorrow and I'm anticipating 70kg (154lbs). I'm not at my goal yet but I'm getting there. I did a cartwheel in the park yesterday and didn't injure myself so, yeah! [link] [comments] |
| Feeling full doesn't mean you're overeating Posted: 19 Mar 2021 05:28 PM PDT Today, I was feeling super full I'm struggling to move a little. It could be from bloating, drinking water, before a meal, or eating lots of protein. In the past, I'm used to feeling hungry... that when I finish a meal, I should not feel full, but not feel hungry. People say you should feel 2/3 full but today, I'm 100% full. But my thoughts are telling me that I overate, that I'm not going to achieve my weight loss goals, that I'm not doing enough. In the past, it would make me feel guilty but today, I'm trying to remind myself that "Feeling full is good. Fulling full doesn't mean you're overeating. Feeling full means you're eating good nutrition. I tracked my calories and I should feel good." I also ran 2.5 miles before dinner so I was super hungry and [accidentally] ate a lot more. But I deserved to eat more today because it was my first time running since last summer. Feeling full doesn't mean you're overeating... though the feeling of being full is not making feel too well.

| 101lb lost since June 3rd 2020 Posted: 19 Mar 2021 08:02 AM PDT On June 3rd 2020 I was 354lb with a BMI of 44.2, today March 19th 2021 I am 253lb with a BMI of 31.6 I've gone from 4X to XL Shirts, 48 to 38 Pants, 4X to XL Underwear. My calorie intake at that time was 4,500+ to 17,000 on the worst binge eating days and it's now 1,800 to 2,200. I was borderline diabetic, dehydrated and malnourished and got winded walking. I now walk 24 miles a day, drink 144oz of water with no caffeinated drinks and am 100% healthy according to my doctor. I feel more confident and my depression has become much more manageable. I still have 53lb to lose but this has become life to me, I can't imagine going back to the unhealthy and unhappy way I was. I don't even count calories anymore because I don't eat junk food, boiled eggs, grilled salmon, summer salads are delicious and filling and made me appreciate my love for cooking. My intrest and hobbies are new, hiking, rugby, photography, and so many things that I was afraid were for thin people. Even the gym is fun, I love running and jump rope and squats like a kid at the playground. When June 3rd 2021 comes I'll be a new person and I'll never look back. [link] [comments] |
| A Covid-19 Side Effect FIXED My Diet Posted: 19 Mar 2021 05:24 PM PDT So I just recently felt the motivation to start working out. I'm 90% positive it's because I've been eating my definition of 'clean'. I had covid in November and in January, in the middle of eating microwave dumplings, they tasted like shit. No, really. Shit. After that day, nothing fried could even get near my NOSE without me gagging at the smell. So I've been eating turkey sandwiches and parfaits pretty much. And fruit. Sweets are still fine to my taste buds, but I've always been more addicted to fried foods. ~ ~ ~ I CAN eat some stuff now, like I can eat pizza and it smells good now, but I have COMPLETELY LOST the urge to eat that type of food. My bf got 2 pizzas and I only ate 3 pieces over 2 days, the second and third only cause my bf asked if I wanted some since he was heating himself some up anyway. But I'm actually grateful... Because I do not know if I would be at the mental point I'm at right now. All I want to eat is chicken salad sandwiches with sprouts XD [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 19 Mar 2021 10:13 PM PDT I've been weight training and eating at a calorie deficit and tracking macros since December. I got a DEXA scan at the beginning of February to establish a baseline as a means for tracking progress and was shocked with the results (37.4% body fat seems high!?) but used it as fuel to keep training and eating healthy. Since that scan I've continued to train hard and all my lifts have gotten heavier (squats, deadlifts, bench press... all significantly heavier) and my clothes have gotten looser. I lost 7 lbs since then and was really excited to get a follow up scan to track my progress. I got the scan this morning (wore the same clothes and followed the same morning ritual in regards to hydration etc). According to the results I lost 1 lb of fat and the rest lost was lean mass - and my BF% went up to 38.2%?! I'm very confused as to how this would happen. I know DEXA is supposed to be the gold standard for measuring body composition, but either it's crazy inaccurate or I'm doing something terribly wrong? TIA [link] [comments] |
| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Saturday, 20 March 2021? Start here! Posted: 19 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.

| Posted: 19 Mar 2021 10:50 PM PDT I've been working hard at losing weight and being mindful of the food I'm eating. My biggest problem was usually my mental approach to eating and food, especially as I have an all-or-nothing way of thinking that I'm working on. Yesterday was my mother's birthday, and her second one in lockdown, so we (my sisters and I) wanted to make it special. We all live together, so we decided to make some of her favourite dishes, and we ordered special chocolates and flowers. And guess what?! I still stuck to my calories and didn't gorge myself! Sure, I ate a few more calories, but I was still well below my BMR. Other times, I would basically binge just to "celebrate" but this time I actually was super aware and genuinely enjoyed the foods that I ate that weren't normally part of what I eat on the regular. No guilt, no shame, AND I got to really enjoy my mom's birthday. This comes after a few months of working with a therapist and getting my medication to the right dose, but wow.... It's amazing what your brain can do when it's healthy. [link] [comments] |
| Does any one else have a secret goal weight? Posted: 19 Mar 2021 04:19 PM PDT I've had several goals so far - my first was 145, (starting at 165) the weight I always seem to be able to get to and then fall off the wagon. I've hit 145 lbs 3 to 4 times in the past 8 years or so, but never got below it. I finally did in February! My actual goal weight (as you can see in my flair) is 134. I'm nearly there - today I weighed in at 136.2, so close I can taste it. But... I have a secret goal weight. It's 129. Just to say I've made it into the 120's, basically. Months ago, it seemed like a pipe dream. But legitimately I might be able to do it! I haven't been in the 120's since high school, I think. I've never told anyone my secret goal weight either, but it's looking way more possible now. So I was just wondering - does anyone else have a secret goal weight? [link] [comments] |
| Looking for a weight loss buddy (I'm F/5'3/22/205lbs) Posted: 19 Mar 2021 07:14 PM PDT Hello! Just to introduce myself: I've been heavy basically all of my life. Since I was probably about 16, my weight has been fluctuating anywhere between 170-185, but recently with my town's only affordable gym going out of business, plus covid, depo-shot, depression, and other stuff, I've packed on about 25lbs and am at my highest weight ever. My goal is to nip this in the bud as soon as possible, but I seem to be lacking the get-go, I guess. I'm entirely embarrassed and ashamed to where I have led myself, and desperately need to change, and quickly. I'm motivated but am not doing anything. I just got an Apple Watch and love the fitness side of it, and knowing that people will see when I'm not working out is definitely helping, but I'd love an actual weight loss buddy. (It is definitely a plus if you also have an apple watch so we could see each other's progress, but not totally necessary.) Hopefully this is okay to post here. I don't have the app and don't know how to search within the subreddit in the web version. If you'd like to know more about me to see if we'd mesh well, feel free to look at my profile or DM me. I'd love to get to know you! [link] [comments] |

| Do you ever feel obsessed with your weight? Posted: 19 Mar 2021 06:28 PM PDT SW: 157 CW: 133 GW: 125 I got down to 114 pounds in July of 2020. I looked and felt my best since high school. And then it was like the year 2020 finally hit me and I became overwhelmed and gave up and put back on weight, about 25 pounds. It happened slowly, but happened so quickly at the same time. I feel so disappointed in myself that I let myself go. I feel like I'm always thinking about my weight and I need to stop obsessing, but I don't know how to stop obsessing over my weight and what I eat. I don't want to get back down to 114. It wasn't manageable in the long run, but I think 125 would be great for me and I felt great at that weight. Any suggestions on how to stop thinking about weight nonstop? [link] [comments] |
| I’m starting over again. But this time I have faith. Posted: 19 Mar 2021 08:34 PM PDT Alright this is a long one, so strap in. I'll start off by saying that I was a teen who could eat whatever, whenever and weighed a solid 120lbs at 5'5 through high school and the first year of college. I was happy with my body and weight was never really an issue for me. I gained a little weight around freshman year but even then I was still happy with my body. Sophomore year of college (about 7 years ago now) I found out I had a benign tumor wrapped around my spinal cord (long story) and had it removed. This was kind of when everything switched for me. After my surgery, I was basically bedridden for about a month and wasn't really supposed to do much movement so I could heal. Standing and walking could be painful sometimes but I eventually got a lot better with PT and slowly increasing my activity, etc. I gained 15lbs my first year after my surgery and since then it has been increasing ever since. This last year during the pandemic I was at my highest weight of 184. I have never felt so ashamed of my body. Before the pandemic I was around 168 and was very happy with my body. I was pretty active, I ate well and was working out around 4-5 days a week. So things really slowed down for me once I wasn't able to go to the gym. I have spent a lot of time working out In my basement, but it's just not the same for me unfortunately. I've been calorie counting on and off for about 5 years now, mixed with trying weight watchers, tone it up, and other weight loss programs. Nothing ever seemed to work for me long term, or I found myself starving. Weight watchers had me eating some days around 1000 calories. Finally, the other day I met with a registered dietician. I am fortunate enough to have great health insurance where I can get up to 6 appointments a year without any copay or costs. I knew I needed to do it. Going in circles was gettin OLD. After talking with my dietician this week, I discovered that I have been MASSIVELY undereating and my metabolism has slowed way way down. Calorie counting I was maybe eating 1500-1600 calories a day which is why my weight was not budging. It simply was not enough for my body to provide me with energy other than just survive. My BMR as a 5'5 female is around 1500 calories a day. That means I was only eating the bare minimum to just survive and my body was essentially saving and storing fuel and fat. My dietician explained to me that this was the reason why I have been struggling for so long to see progress. I know that this isn't the case for everyone- but if you've been in a caloric deficit for too long and nothing is working- it's possible you simply aren't eating enough. So my dietician and I sat down and did some calculations and she explained to me that on an average day I typically burn around 2400 calories just waking around, working, doing chores, working out, etc. Being in a nearly 1000 calorie deficit was stalling everything for me. The next steps are bumping up my calories slowly- from 1500 to 1800 to help increase my metabolism. Since I burn around an average of 2400 calories a day this still puts me in a caloric deficit. I'm curious to see what happens next- I know my weight will probably fluctuate at first and I need to be patient. Weight loss isn't linear especially as a woman-but I'm so excited to be getting help from an RD. I just wanted to share my story and I'll post updates along the way. Has anyone else had any experience with this? [link] [comments] |

| I gained all the weight I lost back; feeling really discouraged. Posted: 19 Mar 2021 08:26 PM PDT I don't know what happened. I spent 10 months losing 40 pounds and then a switch flipped and 7 months later I'm back to where I started. My cute clothes don't fit anymore I just had to buy new jeans because I thought I'd never need the bigger ones I had again. It's just like my stomach is bottomless again. I'm forgetful with my calorie intake. I turned 21 so I'm drinking for the first time in my life. I'm in school 8 hours a day with a half hour break; only thing near is McDonald's. Why don't I bring lunch you ask? None of my classmates are COVID safe so I don't feel comfortable eating in there. It's no longer winter so I can't leave items in my cold car and expect them to stay well. I'm extremely stressed finishing the school I'm at and I think that's leading to unhealthy eating habits. I used food as a coping mechanism for 3 years and just when I thought I was better I fell back again. I know things will get better when I'm not on my current school schedule and have more time to cook and eat quality home meals, because I have been learning how to cook, but I don't know what to do until then. I finish early May. I feel disgusted with myself. I never wanted to struggle with my weight but it has been half my life where I was anorexic and then where I've been binging. Any kind words or ideas for me to work slowly for the next month and a half and then kick back into gear is welcome. I can't tell anyone in real life because I'm so ashamed that it seems all my progress is lost. Thanks. [link] [comments] |

| I’ve decided to lose weight again but I can’t maintain the mindset, help? Posted: 19 Mar 2021 11:13 PM PDT So I'm 18, 5'7, and 260 pounds! I was this weight before when I was younger and became prediabetic, and lost weight. But I gained it all back. It's time to restart. I have a few questions.
My goal weight is around 160-170. I want to try to maintain my boobs, but I can just have a bunch of bra padding too. I don't want to fail at this diet again, so how do I start and keep in the mindset? [link] [comments] |

| Starting to realize others see me as "skinny" even though I don't yet fully see it myself. Posted: 19 Mar 2021 08:47 AM PDT 35m 5'7, around 158-160. In January 2020 I was in the 250 range. I have always been overweight since childhood. I probably starting slowly gaining I. Elementary, and it does up into middle school, more in high school, and so on. Definitely obese for a lot of my time being fat. I also recently was diagnosed with ADHD, but no need to go into that lol. I always had friends and things to do, but for majority of my life was the fat one in whatever group I was in, including pretty much my whole entire family. I have a good sense of humor, always class clown, good at going back and forth cracking jokes with friends, roasting each other etc. I think part of it comes from using humor to cover up my fatness and feeling ugly and less than others. My whole life, I had to constantly keep in mind that I was fat to avoid embarrassment and shame. When you are fat, it's it's one thing a person can judge you on without knowing you. After close to 30 years of being the fat friend, family member, boyfriend, or just "that person over there" it's very hard to not still see yourself as that. For your whole life, your weight/body size has been one of the key features someone would use to describe you to someone else. I know that you live with yourself every day, and so you don't see the loss as much as people who go months without seeing you. I see a photo and I'm like WOW. Or compare scale numbers from before to now. Sometimes I'll catch myself in an angle I normally don't see and I see it in real time. But since I still have some belly fat and other places that need to lose, and probably including some lose skin, I dont truly feel what others see.Also, definitely need to start a good strength training routine for sure. Sorry for not getting to the point lol. But lately I've been actually realizing that for a little while now people who don't know me as anything but this weight, call me skinny. For instance on a job site talking trash or something a guy said get ya skinny ass up the ladder. He wasn't saying it to be funny as in you used to be fat but now your skinny either. I guess subconsciously my low self esteem took over and just assumed it was a sarcastic joke like yeah you lost weight but you are still fat so I'll jokingly call you skinny. He was saying it like I have said it in the past to people I only have ever known as skinny. It's something I would say to my brother who has always been lean and toned his whole life lol. I have always been a shit talker, ruthlessly going back and forth with my brothers, cousins, friends, and co workers. Definitely need to have thick skin to hang lol. I also realize that it's been a long time since ANYONE has cracked any fat jokes, used weight to describe me, or just involve anything about being unhealthy when it involves me. It feels very weird at times. I am definitely NOT where I want to be though I know I am so much healthier and now probably healthier than people I once wished to be as thin as. This is a wild journey and it's still so new. [link] [comments] |
