| It is amazing how strong the desire to stress eat is Posted: 30 Mar 2021 05:01 AM PDT Yesterday, I had significant conflict with a loved one that lead to some intense emotions. While we worked through a lot of it (in a respectful way), I was still left emotionally drained and I was pretty surprised at how strong my desire was to stress eat. I believe that like a lot of people I was overweight for multiple reasons. I think for me it was a learned lifestyle that I chose to maintain, a form of entertainment and a way I managed stress. So yesterday, I was 100% cognitively aware what was going on. I knew that I was physically full and my desire to reach for boxes of carby food (Cheez its, Life cereal, pretzels) was for emotional comfort. It was how I really wanted to self soothe. I also know that the world won't end if I slip up. That if I did comfort eat my preferred starchy food that I would have a bad day and get back on track the next day. I also knew the relief that I felt while eating would be momentary at best. I knew that I would end up bloated and unhappy. Ultimately, I knew I would still feel sad and be drained from the earlier conflict. So, I didn't eat but let me tell you, the desire to eat was so, so strong. [link] [comments] |
| Almost 100lb down and at my goal! Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:37 AM PDT Well, I'm 1 pound away from my original goal/milestone. I'm mid 20's male 5'11" Currently at 201lb down from 297lb. 97lb lost. A little over 7 months of progress. Since august 19th of 2020. It was delayed from my original projected end date of mid-February. But I can easily live with missing that mark. Close enough and I have no complaints! As someone who was never successful with weight loss until now, I still find it hard to believe I lost that much. I've never lost more than like 10lb of water weight. I doesn't really feel like I've lost almost 100lb, but I definitely see the difference and am finding the benefits. Normal sized clothes, not scared of chairs, car seats feel much better, etc. lol I have more energy, my blood pressure is way better, not that I was too concerned at the time (pics attached), i'm finally just overweight on the BMI scale (42 down to 27). I went from 48+ pants (at least) down to 36 or 38's. I went down 12 notches of belts, and that's when I started losing weight and needed a belt. All 7 holes on the first and 5 holes down on the current. Something that's specifically important to me... I feel much better socially. Always sitting in corners of restaurants, not wanting to go out, just general anxiety and depression...something I've always struggled with is more minimized now. I feel more confident overall. I mean, i'm still fat, but hey, I've made progress and I feel great about it. I think my new goal will be 180lb. I'm going to continue down to that and see how I feel. At which point, I'll begin eating ~maintenance , more protein, and working out. I, fortunately, know someone who is excellent at proper body building to help me when the time comes. I know it'll take longer overall, but losing weight then working out/building muscle is best for me. I'm going to give my opinion on what helped me finally lose weight after thinking it was just impossible. I tried. I tried and failed spectacularly. I've been overweight for a long time. Before high school. And steadily increasing. It just seemed out of reach. But CICO really put me in the right mindset. The laws of thermodynamics are not things that just takes a hiatus when you try to lose weight. Looking at things from an analytical and science based way really clicks with me. It literally is as simple as calories in calories out. The scale always tripped me up with the day to day fluctuations. It was hard at first. You really have to push through it and believe you are losing weight. Something that helped me was Happy Scale (iPhone app. Not sure if it's for android). It took my weight from day to day and told me what it should be. And it's been pretty accurate in the long run. It helps in that aspect of things. I did minimal exercise. Mostly just walking. There for a while in January, I walked a ton. Probably an average of 6 miles a day maybe. It definitely sped up the weight loss, but not needed. I ate mostly normal. I.e. mostly what I use to. I didn't change what I ate so much as how much. The worst days I've had calorie wise were still a 500 calorie deficit. I've maintained a deficit every single day. Eating anywhere from 1,400 to 1,500 Cal/day on average and burning anywhere from 3,200 at the start to about 2,600 TDEE now). I'd say it's been difficult, but that would only be for the start of my journey. The first few weeks were rough. But I got use to it. It just makes sense to me now. I had that click moment this time around. Thanks for listening to my ramble. Off to the 180's I go. [link] [comments] |
| Done losing! Now what?? (Maintenance struggles) Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:19 PM PDT As a 5'2"/159cm 25F, I began my journey of losing weight on May 3rd, 2020, starting at 130lbs/59kg, and finally got to my goal weight of 108lbs/49kg as of February 20, 2021. So basically 2.2lbs/1kg per month, which was a slow and sustainable rate for my height (for anyone short, really). I did CICO with a focus on high protein, and picked up strength training (completely at-home workouts with dumbbells and a resistance band), Zumba dancing, indoor cycling and a lot of walking. I went from completely sedentary lazy ass, to I would say a more health-conscious and moderately active foodie. Now about a month into maintenance, I am struggling with some obsessive thoughts that persisted since the last few pounds and thought I'd ask for some advice from y'all wise people! Since reaching my GW, I've quite successfully maintained my weight in a range between 110-114lbs, but it wasn't without difficulty. I realized that in order to eat in a way that felt satisfying (instead of a infinite diet), I'd literally have to exercise every single day to earn more calories. I was't eating outrageously either, just averaging 1700-1900 calories. Without the additional exercises, I can only live on 1500-1600, which is just sad. But I am honestly exhausted from the constant vigilance regarding to my weight and the compulsive need to stay active even when I'm tired. Apart from that, I also got into the habit of non-stop scrolling through r/loseit, r/ownit and other diet-related subreddits and wanting to consume information about food, diet and eating (i.e. "What I eat in a day" videos on Youtube). I mean, I should be done with losing weight, but my mind seems to not get that! For long-time maintainers, please give me advice on how to not lose my mind during maintenance and stop dieting from becoming a all-consuming hobby of mine. Do things start to become natural to you over time? [link] [comments] |
| How Can I Help My Food-Insecure Overeating Boyfriend? Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:19 PM PDT My boyfriend (31M) is the most wonderful man— sweet, hardworking, and positive. He's struggled with his weight for most of his life. I believe at his peak, he weighed over 300 pounds; when we met, he was under 230, and for the past several years, he's been stuck around 260. His situation is a bit unusual. He grew up in a working-class Italian family, and he's told me many times that if he didn't race to "claim" and finish food, his siblings would eat it and there wouldn't be any left for him. I've read a bit about emotional eating, but I don't think he's a typical case. He hardly ever snacks between meals and he doesn't linger over food. Instead, he eats as much as he can in under 10 minutes, and then doesn't eat at all until the next mealtime. He loves "indulgent" foods and says he thinks about food for most of the day. I think food is emotional for him in the sense that it's extremely rewarding and it's what he derives the most pleasure from. The prospect of eating large amounts seems intoxicating to him, like a high. He's always in a great mood before and during meals. He has a stable, well-paying job and any food insecurity is long in his past. When he lost a large amount of weight years ago, he did super strict CICO (weighing his food) and eating the exact same thing most days. He is a fastidious person and can be obsessive in his thinking. I'm hesitant to encourage that level of restrictive dieting because it's not sustainable and created the yo-yo situation he's in now, IMO. Does anybody have suggestions or resources?

| Posted: 30 Mar 2021 10:15 PM PDT SW: 200-205. CW: 180. GW:145ish. This isn't a huge achievement compared to some people in this community, but I was really happy about it today. I am 1/3 of the way through my weight loss journey! I started doing intermittent fasting with CICO 2 months ago. I don't work out much considering I can't do cardio (I use resistance bands and 15-pound dumbbells). I stick away from refined sugars and carbs as well and completely stopped drinking any sodas. That's the method to my madness and I hope it helps/inspires someone. I've got a long journey ahead of me. [link] [comments] |
| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Wednesday, 31 March 2021? Start here! Posted: 30 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.

| Everyone is a fitness/nutrition expert. Posted: 30 Mar 2021 10:35 AM PDT I have seen this before with my previous attempts at attaining a healthy weight and I am seeing it happen now. I am big dude. 6'3'' 450 lbs. I am down from 464lbs this past month. "Eat more of this, eat less of that." EVERYONE suddenly whips out their PhD in "Doctor Oz said this..." In the past I have failed because my head wasn't in the right place. This is why I let people's ( well intentioned ) advice discourage me. I did not know which direction to take because the comments from various people contradicted each other and that just got me confused and frustrated which led me to giving up. I am sharing this message to everyone else struggling with their obesity and I am also sharing this with myself. To see my own words will make it "more real" and cement my resolve. Funny enough, I was reading a blink about getting rich. It had one piece of advice which I could really adopt and live by. We all should adopt this way of thinking:
I wish everyone courage, strength, temperance and a hard-ass type of stubbornness to reach their goals. [link] [comments] |

| Does anyone feel like they can't be a real person? Posted: 30 Mar 2021 03:58 PM PDT I know this is self imposed for the most part but I just have these strong feelings that I just am not allowed to have emotions and issues like people of a healthy regular weight. I had a small panic attack today (yaaaaay, fun!) and the first thing I thought was I can't have anxiety, I'm fat. Like I feel like I will somehow be less believable or people will just attribute it to my being overweight. I have always had these feelings that I just need to exhibit positive traits to "make up" for my appearance. I feel dismissed by a lot of people being overweight as well as being a woman it can be a double whammy sometimes. I feel worth less than normal weight people and I have a really hard time with that. I feel like I don't have as much value to society. Does anyone else struggle with these feelings? [link] [comments] |
| 2nd UPDATE - I've had enough (W2) Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:00 PM PDT It's been 2 weeks since i've started this journey. I'm happy that I could achieve my goals for this week which were:
This next week i'm gonna start weekly logging my weigth, I haven't done it yet cause my scale run out of batteries and we are not going out because covid getting worse around here. And for this week i'll start meal planning. Let's see how it goes! The support from this community has been great and I really happy i'm still motivated and ok with how it is going so far. Thanks for reading! :) Previous posts: [link] [comments] |
| Feeling happy I built these habits when I did Posted: 30 Mar 2021 09:28 AM PDT I am going through a very difficult time personally right now. Relationships falling apart, moving out of my house unexpectedly, trying to work while all this is happening...and six months ago, I would have been crawling to any kind of food I could for comfort. But at the start of this year, I started counting my calories, doing intermittent fasting, and walking on a regular basis...even getting larger amounts of exercise on the weekends! I have lost 27 pounds so far this year, and even in these really trying times, I have been able to lean into the habits I've built and allow them to take care of me while I take care of everything else going on. Not overeating during this period has shown me just how strong and capable I am. I am so proud of my progress so far, and am just genuinely excited to keep going, now that I've realized how much this has changed me internally. [link] [comments] |
| Why is it considered bad to "eat back" calories burned through exercise? Posted: 30 Mar 2021 03:25 PM PDT I have a Fitbit watch and use the Fitbit app to track my calories. I set the app up saying I live a non-active lifestyle and want to lose 2lbs a week and it told me to eat around 1500 a day, 1000 under maintenance. Most days when I sit at my computer and work and barely move, it says I can eat 1300-1500. But when I play basketball, or do athletic activities with friends, I will often burn a lot of extra calories. Yesterday, for example, I ended the day with 20k steps and 200 zone minutes. The app always updates how many calories you can eat at the bottom, and due to my exercise it said I could eat 3000 yesterday! So I did. It felt like a reward for my hard work. Yet I've been reading here and people say not to do this. Why? Should I really only eat 1500 calories even on days where I burn a ton? I thought it was simply calories in vs calories out so I don't understand. I tried searching and the answers people gave really didn't make sense to me. I just want to know if I should really stop doing this, or if it's okay to do it. I will often go for a run or play basketball JUST so that I can eat more food that day. Should I stop doing this? Thanks [link] [comments] |
| I'm pretty new to dieting so I could use a few tips about what I should be doing. Posted: 31 Mar 2021 02:51 AM PDT I started dieting recently and I think I might be taking it more serious than I need too. I am currently just looking to lose weight. I am 6'5 270lbs and would like to lose 40lbs or so. So far I've been incredibly strict on myself. I've been eating nothing but stuff very low in calories like tuna, eggs, chicken, asparagus, and avocado. I was wondering if I am still under my calorie limit for the day could I be a little less tough on myself and eat things that are a little more unhealthy such as breakfast cereal in moderation. I don't have a serious goal such as bodybuilding so I wasn't sure if I needed to be this strict with myself [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2021 06:39 PM PDT I started at 116kg with a chronic illness that makes exercising difficult to balance without causing flares. It ended up forcing me to leave employment I loved, so now I'm treating regaining my health as a full time job. I'm down almost 10kg over a six week period. I have been doing cardio alongside yoga and physical therapy, tracking calories in and out, following a low fodmap diet, along with meeting goals for hydration and sleep. I think I look different. I think I look healthier. It's been so difficult while balancing illnesses and I am really proud of how committed I've been. Over the weekend I saw my parents, and some friends I haven't seen since I began, and nobody noticed. Nobody said anything, or even looked at me differently. To me the change feels huge. The logical person in me reminds me that I would never comment on someone else's body, and that they shouldn't comment on mine. But I can't help but feel a little sad about it. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2021 12:25 AM PDT ( all weight stuff mentioned are in lbs) Okay. So I am 15, 5"10; 220 lbs. My friend is 18, 6"0; 160 lbs. We are basically polar opposites, he plays soccer; I play football. My goal is to lose weight and gain muscle. His goal is to just gain muscle and weight. Currently I'm mainly fat, not a lot of muscle. About a week ago we started lifting, all the gym equipment was finally shipped and we set it up. I can bench 164 twice, he can bench 140 on a good day. Obviously I know I'm pretty weak. So I just have questions on how I should lose weight, or any tips you guys have. Also how I can gain muscle efficiently. I have been doing a lot of back, biceps, chest, and legs mainly. My max deadlift is around 225 lbs. On the hex/trap bar it's 240. I still have room to grow as my dad is 6"3, the doctors say I'll be around 6"1. So I should grow into myself. The lifting genetics are there too. He was able to bench 520 in his late 20s/early 30s. You may be thinking I should ask my dad but there's reasons why I can't, so I'm here. My main questions are: how can I efficiently gain muscle, and my maxes; and how can I lose weight in the process. Any supplements you guys recommend safe for teens, any diets. Anything. Thank you... [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2021 12:22 AM PDT Hello, I need a bit of an advice. Just for additional information I'm a female in my early 20. My highest weight was 264lbs [120kg] and since December 2019 I have lost 100lbs so I am currently down to 163lbs [74kg]. I still intend, well I am aiming to lose 20lbs more and get to 143lbs [65kg] Along my weightloss journey I came in contact with a bunch of problems that I'm somewhat trying to fix along the way but pretty much failing or having very little success
I'd appreciate any advice or just their experience on any of the matter I talked about [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 30 Mar 2021 11:47 PM PDT I have been working out for 3 months now and I invested in a scale that has a bioimpedence scanner that shows your bmi, body fat percentage, Protien, body water etc... It also shows bone mass.. When I started working out my bone mass was 3.4 kgs which has dropped to 3.27 kgs.... Should I be concerned about this? Is it also concerning to have weight fluctuations? My weight keeps fluctuating between 77-78 and mainly it's the muscle mass, fat free body weight and skeletal muscles that differs and rarely bone mass.. I have not consulted any professionals as of yet as most things have shut down due to corona.. I've been doing it on my own and have had some result but I just want to confirm that I'm not doing anything wrong... Thanks for your help.. [link] [comments] |

| Everything else is more important than taking care of yourself? Posted: 30 Mar 2021 07:37 PM PDT What are some unique strategies you've tried that keeps you on track even when you're impatient waiting for results (losing some weight)? Self discipline, mental strategies, meal planning, celebrating small wins... haven't been super successful strategies for me. A few days after I shift my eating habits -I'm ready to just eat whatever I want. Nothing I planned sounds appetizing anymore nor does anything we have in the house :) . Add in that work keeps me extremely busy so we try to cook quick things on the week days and prep on weekends. I'm a very goal oriented person in other aspects of my life, especially work, 10-11 hour days, no problem. I am determined to perform my best at work and accomplish anything I need to. Am I just lazy when it comes to taking care of myself? CW: 205, F 5'4 Activities as of late: walking the doggies Minimal time to make dinner and lunch on weekdays [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2021 08:07 PM PDT On Monday I started my 15 week journey of working on myself, mainly for weight-loss but self-care in general. In the past I'd only focus on the scale and it was so disheartening, I'd always fail. The 15 weeks are just a kick start! I plan on taking the diet pill phentermine every other day, not eating meat more than 1x/week, and being more active. I won't weigh myself more than 5 times this entire journey. Deleted most of my social media, invested in myself (skincare, hair care, gym membership), and set a weekly goal. This week my goal is to workout 5 times, stay under my calorie limit (1,200) with one cheat day (1,750), and to clean 3 areas of my house. I plan on doing 3 cardio days, 1 lower body, and 1 upper body for the first 2 weeks. For reference I'm 5'1" and around 175-177 pounds. Just wanted to share! If anyone is in a similar boat or has advice, feel free to comment. [link] [comments] |
