| I found out why I gained 5lb and couldn’t lose it Posted: 21 Apr 2021 02:12 PM PDT F24 5'7 SW:180 Several months ago I hit my goal weight of 140lb and was comfortably maintaining that. Being mindful, exercising regularly and having treats every so often. When my weight went up a few lb, I would just be extra careful for several days and it would return back to 140. You know, maintenance things. About a month ago I felt pretty bloated but I chalked it off to traveling since I flew to California to visit my parents and the adjustment always takes a toll on my body. I was with my parents for about three weeks, and the bloating didn't ever really go away. When I got home and weighed myself on my own scale, I was 145! I thought it was bizarre that I had sustained a significant gain even though nothing had changed, but I figured I must have overeaten for while on vacation. So for the last 2 weeks, I've been doing what I normally do when I need to adjust back to 140lb - more exercise, water, and mindful eating. The scale seemed stuck but I wasn't stressed, just trying to trust the process as I know these things don't happen overnight. But then... Last night, while cooking dinner, I sliced my thumb with a knife. Really bad. I was dizzy and my thumb was throbbing. After trying to handle it myself with my husband for a few hours, I decided the pain was too much and I ordered an Uber to the nearest emergency room. I let my husband go to sleep since it was already 1am at this point. After checking in and waiting, they finally sewed up my thumb at about 4am. Right before giving me some Motrin for pain on the way out, the nurse told me me I need to give her a urine sample for procedural reasons. I waited in the hospital room for the Motrin and my discharge papers and the nurse walks in and says "well I can't give you Motrin." I was confused. Well, turns out I'm pregnant. Surprise! EDIT: Thank you all for the kind messages and the awards!! I was going to respond to everyone individually but there are just so many! This is certainly a surprise as I was in birth control so I guess I'm in that 1% where it doesn't work. I got married last June (COVID wedding - so we basically eloped) so we were planning on waiting a little longer for kids but we can call this a happy accident. My husband woke up to a great surprise when I got home! [link] [comments] |
| Calorie deficit is so so effective Posted: 21 Apr 2021 03:09 AM PDT I'm in my 8th week of a calorie deficit, and started out at around 215lbs. I've been in a 600 calorie deficit per day, eating 35% protein 30% fat 35% carbs. For the first time in 7 years, the scales now start with a 1!!! My IBS is so much better now that I'm not overeating, and I only struggled with hunger for the first two weeks. I'm currently 197lbs, just bought myself an apple watch to prompt myself to get up and do more. I'm expecting the losses to slow down, but hopefully with a bit more activity, I can try and keep up the pace. My brother's wedding in August and a suit to get into has been great motivation, but I can't wait to keep going and see how fit I can get! [link] [comments] |
| Tonight I didn’t reward myself with food. Posted: 21 Apr 2021 11:25 PM PDT I'm totally an emotional eater – not just for stress eating, but for celebrations too. Tonight I got great grades back on a tough assignment, and was so happy that my first thought was "I want ice cream!" There's nothing wrong with that per se, but I "caught" that thought and recognized it as an engrained emotional response to validate with food. Decided to go for a "victory run" instead. (WHO EVEN AM I?! Going for a RUN to celebrate?!) It's non-scale victories like this that make me feel I'm actually making a real change. Sorry if this comes across as bragging – I'm just really proud of the person I'm choosing to become. 😭❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Hormones are fucking real guys Posted: 21 Apr 2021 06:47 PM PDT I ran out of birth control and just got it back (American healthcare blah blah) and damn the difference is huge- the weight fluctuations from water retention normalize. My calorie deficit increases because I'm not quite so hangry all the time, and things I don't relate to my hormones unless I'm tracking everything- like headaches, inflammation, sleep- everything. I'm so glad I have a birth control pill that works for me, I just wish women (and trans/non-binary people dealing with the same bullshit) weren't dismissed so much on how a hormonal imbalance effects their overall health, let alone our weight. Tldr: I've never been successful managing my weight while also dealing with a hormone imbalance, and it's not a moral failing. Medicare for all! [link] [comments] |
| PSA: It's OK to throw away food Posted: 22 Apr 2021 01:29 AM PDT I don't know who needs to hear this, but here it is- it is ok to throw away food. Every Sunday we visit my MIL for Sunday lunch and she cooks enough for the whole village. She always packs us up leftovers, which we then eat another 2-3 days- this part I don't mind. But she always makes a cake. Most of the time I have a slice and ask her not to pack extra for us. But she does it anyway. For months I would always eat it, because it turns out I'm incapable of having sweet food at home without eating it. And then I would feel super guilty. Then one time my husband just said 'Why don't we just throw it away?'. At first I was horrified because where I grew up, you do NOT ever throw away food- I mean there are starving children in Africa, so you'll be damned if you don't eat that whole cake. But guess what- my extra slice of an average tasting cake will not help any children in Africa, it will only hurt me. Once I made this connection, it was like a lightbulb came on. Yes, why DON'T we just throw it away (and not tell her)? So that's what I've been doing every Sunday when we come home - food goes into fridge, cake into bin. [link] [comments] |
| The shirt my coworker ‘noticed’ was busting out a bit now fits. LOL. Posted: 21 Apr 2021 07:01 PM PDT I mentioned a while back about a button-down shirt my coworker though was necessary to comment about. We were at a work dinner and while sitting across from him, he made a very blatant comment about how I was 'busting-out' from my shirt or something to that effect. I shrugged it off and 'agreed' with him. I was very well aware it was getting tight and and should have been more conscious of it in a semi-formal situation at a work dinner. Of course I had an undershirt on, but it was still less than proper to be wearing it. I was also in denial, I think, that I was not in the right health trajectory. I'm glad to say that's it's fitting well now and almost 30lbs and who knows how many less than when I wore it to that dinner in September of 2019. Progress is a beautiful thing!!! I had a hard time with eating yesterday. I believe I was over on calories the night before but a long bike ride and a little conservancy with my Humber to make up for the prior day left me literally hungry before bed and when I woke up. I was busy enough with work right away that I forgot to eat my breakfast immediately, but by the time I did I had no hunger anyway. Lol. Trying to keep to the book with tracking is difficult but rewarding. I love knowing how close I am to my calorie goals. I'm glad my exercise is easier these days and my leg gains are fun with all the bicycling. Not sure what kind of distances I'll work up to with that, but my cheap trash picker bike may need some TLC if I'm to do so. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2021 07:44 AM PDT Plus, they are not a good friend if they are not supporting you. Cutting that fat out of your life doesn't just have to be from your body, as it can be relationships as well. Losing a lot of weight has made me reflect on the people closest to me, and realizing a lot of them enjoyed sharing in my misery from when I was bigger. Now that I am thinner and healthier, all I hear are negative comments from some of these people, which is obviously triggering for them so they project their own unhappiness onto me. Since I don't hold space for those feelings, I shall shed them too. Stay strong everyone; this is a wild ass journey that we're all on together. [link] [comments] |
| Only lost 10 pounds in 93 days... Posted: 21 Apr 2021 01:08 PM PDT ...But I'm 10 pounds lighter than I was 93 days ago :) To those discouraged by slow progress (myself included) - it's still progress!! 10 pounds down in 93 days is better than 5 pounds down in 93 days which is better than giving up 92 days ago (or 82 days ago, or 72 days ago). Time and time again I have thought to myself, 'If I had kept up with losing weight back x number of weeks ago, I would be x pounds lighter by now...' But now, I can say that I have been keeping this up since January 18 2021, and this 24F is now 201.2 instead of 211.2. Making a lifestyle change is slow work, but I've finally learned that being kind and lenient with myself is what will show lasting results. Do I wish I was down 20 pounds by now? Sure. Could I have lost weight faster had I quit all my habits cold-turkey? Probably. But that wouldn't have been sustainable for me. I've been self-conscious of my weight since I was 10, and I'm slowly ( s l o w l y ) doing my best to change my habits, particularly reframing how I think. I'm finally approaching weight loss as a result of healthy lifestyle changes, and not just jumping on a diet, losing 5-20 pounds, then jumping back off because it's not sustainable. That's been the pattern of my life for the past 14 years, and I am confident this time I will reach my goal weight of 199.9, then my next next goal weight of 186.9, then my next next next goal weight of 175.9... until I hit 145lb. Baby steps are still steps! 1 pound is still weight loss, as is .1 pound. 1 more day of tracking is another day in your streak, and remember that slow progress is still progress! I'm saying this as much for myself as I am for others on this sub. I hope you can be kind to yourself and keep reaching for your goals, no matter the speed :) [link] [comments] |
| im under 180 for the first time since i was dumped 4 years ago Posted: 21 Apr 2021 09:15 PM PDT (sorry i dont know how to post pictures here so i linked my progress picture below) hi guys ive watched this reddit for a while and you guys have been a big source of inspiration and help through this last year as i went down from 250 pounds to 178 pounds. i always had a little tummy. i was always around 180-185 pounds even when i was with my ex. after we broke up, i ballooned to 250 and was obese on the BMI scale. now a year of exercise later im finally back to where i started. i only have 15 more pounds to go to reach my goal. i hope to show you guys a new picture without a tummy in a few more months (https://i.imgur.com/iyQT8Lu.jpg) [link] [comments] |
| I finally got to an acceptable weight after about 2 months! Posted: 22 Apr 2021 01:30 AM PDT M15 SW: 180 CW: 160 I've just found this place - if I got here earlier, I would've definitely shared my progress here too. What surprised me was just how little I actually had to eat - usually I would eat anything in my vicinity, but after I started trying, some days I would get by just with lunch (cutting out sugary drinks worked wonders too). There have obviously been some setbacks, but I always got over them and continued exercising. And here I am, finally looking much better at 160lbs. It truly is an amazing feeling. I know this isn't as "big" of a breakthrough as many posts on this sub, but it is very important to me and I had to share it :) [link] [comments] |

| Self-realisation and learning from it Posted: 21 Apr 2021 11:35 PM PDT This is going to be a long post about me mostly rambling. Thanks if you're reading it all! I've been trying to seriously lose weight again. I have actually once been successful with it before. Going from ~172 pounds (overweight) to 135 pounds (normal) on my 5'5'' height. At first I was really proud of my achievements. I did feel a bit chubby still and wanted to lose more weight (just a little). But for some reason I really needed validation from people that I look "slim" or "pretty" now. I was desperate for compliments. I did get some. But from the people I wanted to hear them the most I actually got no comments. My mother even thought I was still a size XL even though I was down to M and the occasional S. She kept commenting that I should wear looser clothing. I'm sure it's not cause of my mother but I somehow slowly developed some sort of body image issues. I couldn't tell if I looked normal or slim or fat. I felt like I still looked chubby. Like I still had a long way to go. That worried me. I didn't want to become obsessed with my weight or looks and end up underweight. So I stopped counting calories and trying to maintain my weight. Then Corona happened. I was in Home Office a lot. I snacked a lot during the day and stopped thinking about my weight. I barely moved because of the pandemic. I was well aware that I gained weight. But I was ok with it at the time because I was incredibly stressed and unhappy and knew I wouldn't have the energy or willpower to commit to a diet change and tracking calories again. The circumstances have changed since a couple of months. I am happy and have the energy again. I weighed myself a few weeks ago and saw the scale at 161 lb. I did a lot of thinking. It was good I realised I had body image problems. What I should have done though was weigh myself occasionally. Not even weekly. But once a month maybe to make sure I stay on course without the pressure. I also learned how much support can mean to you and what a luxury that is. Whenever my boyfriend cooks he weighs all the foods for me. And he is very sweet and keeps telling me how beautiful he thinks I am. At first that was actually not motivating me to change at all!! But now it's a motivator. He loves me as I am so I'm not losing weight for him but for myself. And he always says he is curious to see what I look like at a lower weight. But that it's entirely up to me if I want to lose weight. I think this is also a big deal. Before I wanted to lose weight mostly to impress others and be pretty. I didn't really do it for myself. Before I only lost weight by CICO and no sports at all. This time my boyfriend is encouraging me to go outside. We go out on walks daily. I make sure to get 10k steps daily and sometimes I even get to 20k steps. Every now and then I like to play Just Dance on my console. It might not be the most intensive training but it's actually fun to me. Another important point. I often forced myself to go jogging in my years of dieting even though I hated it. It's better to do something fun even if it's less intensive. I am really motivated like I have never been before. And I feel at ease because I discussed my body image worries with my boyfriend. He told me that he would be honest to me once I reach my goal weight about my looks. If that's something I should maintain or if it's ok to lose more if that's what I wish to do. He assured me he wouldn't let me become underweight. I am currently at 158 lb. And I am proud that I am still motivated and picked up some "training". I hope to be able to update you at some point that I am at 135lb again. And this time I will be happy and will not need validation! [link] [comments] |
| I CAN FINALLY DO SIT UPS PROPERLY! Posted: 21 Apr 2021 12:00 PM PDT I (18f) have been obese for the majority of my teen years, being just over 200lbs at 5'0. The beginning of this year, a month into being 18 I decided that now is the time I need to get fit, I was tired of being out of puff climbing one flight of stairs and being unable to bend down easily to grab something without needing to catch my breath. This month, I added sit ups into my routine. In the beginning, I still had a lot of back fat, so I couldn't lean back fully whilst exercising. Today however, I finally could! Never have I felt so accomplished by doing something so basic but it means the healthy eating and consistent exercise is working and I've never been happier!!! Just wanted to tell you all after being a lurker on this community for a while now, my family doesn't really understand my excitement [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2021 07:07 PM PDT Hi all! Firstly I'm super proud of you for being on this journey, you're doing great! So I've been what people consider "chubby" most of my life, I cut down towards the end of school but then I became pretty unhealthy toward my 2nd year of uni - still went to the gym every day but didn't eat well at all and I am now dedicated to living my healthiest life. I've really been trying to cut out as many snacks and unhealthy foods as possible, go to the gym 4/5 times a week (usually 3 days concentrated weight training and 2 days HIIT) and try hike every weekend, the results have been quite slow but they are coming along nonetheless. 11 weeks progress- http://imgur.com/a/JsyPqF1 Marked as NSFW because of underwear pictures. So as much as I'd like you guys to celebrate with me, I'd really like to take it up a notch and get results faster and sustain them for the long haul. I especially battle loosing weight around my tummy area, 1. Any specific exercise and food tips you have for that? 2. Are there any types of food you think I should cut out or try have more of? I'm a vegetarian though so things like chicken are unfortunately a no go. 3. How do you personally stay away from snacking? 4. What sort of healthy snacks do you substitute with? 5. I generally eat twice a day, and have a snack of a fruit or two, is this a good idea? I get around 1000+-kcal a day in, do I need more or less than that? Thanks in advance for your advice, I truly do appreciate it. Thank you for this subreddit! And good luck on your journey :) [link] [comments] |
| Perfectionism, Procrastination and Binge Eating Posted: 21 Apr 2021 12:35 PM PDT Recently I've come to believe that there is a link between those three.
I don't have an elegant way of saying all this, but there's no doubt in my mind now that - for me - perfectionism, procrastination and binge eating are closely linked, and treating my perfectionism and procrastination can help towards stopping my binge eating. It's already helped me - I had a small extra snack between meals today, and didn't let my perfectionist voice tell me "might as well give up". I also got quite anxious yesterday because I was procrastinating from a work task, and suddenly all I wanted to do was eat, but I noticed my thought pattern and forced myself to tackle the work task - surprise surprise the urge to binge went away! Just something to think about that I hope will help someone :) [link] [comments] |
| Came a long way in a year and a half and I thank this sub for a lot of it Posted: 21 Apr 2021 05:35 AM PDT Obligatory progress pic. Started my journey back in the end of 2019 and it's been filled with ups and downs but I wouldn't change anything about it. I was sick of being fat and unhealthy and wanted to change. I did my research, found this sub and put my head down and got to work. Started at a little over 300lbs and I'm sitting around 175 currently with some more room left for improvement. Seeing everyone's progress on this sub inspired me to make a change in my life for the better. I've tried to lose weight before but didn't have any success. I would diet for a week lose a pound or two and go back to my old ways, but this time something just clicked in my brain and now I have a fear of going back to my old self. I have a new found love for going to the gym and bettering myself everyday. Hopefully I can inspire someone like how I was inspired when I first joined this sub. [link] [comments] |
| Minor victory - but still a victory! Calorie counting really works and it’s not as hard as it seems Posted: 21 Apr 2021 09:15 PM PDT I just wanted to share this somewhere - I've lost about 14 pounds since I started eating better and counting calories three weeks ago (I'm on week 4 now). I had been at 275 for about five years before this and now for the first time in half a decade I'm in the 260s! I know it's a small victory but I just had to tell somebody haha My overall goal is 150 pounds so I know I still have a long way to go though. For counting calories I use a spreadsheet that my nutritionist sent me that helps you count calories and make a meal plan by servings of different food groups, it even has all the formulas and stuff already put in. If anyone is interested in a copy of the spreadsheet please feel free to DM me - it's on excel so you can customize however you like. [link] [comments] |
| I was at my most heaviest on Valentine’s Day Posted: 21 Apr 2021 01:01 PM PDT The day after Valentines Day I was feeling 'meh' and sluggish and decided to step on the scale for the first time in a long time. 182.6 pounds. Holy Sweet Cinnamon Biscuits. That was literally the heaviest I have EVER been, even during both of my pregnancies and carrying other humans around. I am 34F and 5'7" (US). That day I plugged in my stats to a BMI calculator and... BAM! I was on the very high end of Overweight and damn near Obese. I decided THAT DAY to start CICO, IF, and to start walking. I joined this Reddit among a couple other ones and I'm super proud to say that as of today I am down 20.1 pounds and weighed in at 162.5!!! I've been eating better foods, stopping soda and snacking, eating only during my window, and logging/weighing everything in an app. I've been walking my dog a 3-mile circuit a few times a week too. I just want to say I'm stoked about hitting 20 pounds gone, and even though I have roughing 15-18 more to go to "goal" I'm happy with my results and wanted to share. THIS GROUP has been amazing motivation and I scroll and lurk every night before bed. I read all of your posts for motivation and to know I'm not doing it alone. You guys truly rock!!! So thank you!

| [SV] I'm Back to My 2019 Weight! Posted: 21 Apr 2021 10:55 PM PDT It feels like it was an awful lot of work for what seemed like not much weight (I'm convinced I peaked higher than I realized because I knew I had gained weight and was scared to see the numbers) but after hiring a personal trainer in October, floundering with poor diet habits, straightening out my diet in February, still not seeing results, really cracking down on avoiding cheat meals and doing my own shopping, and lowering my caloric goal even more... I finally got back down to the weight I was at in my physical from late 2019. It wasn't a "goal" that was on my mind, but I had been watching the scale for a number that was low enough that I couldn't chalk it up to margin-of-error and this morning I realized I had hit it when my scale almost stopped at 270. I was 271. I gained 10 (likely 15) pounds during 2020 and have finally lost it all. I still have a long way to go for my ultimate goal to drop 100 lbs, but hitting a milestone really felt good and I'm looking forward to many more incremental goals this year so I won't qualify for gastric bypass in 2022.

| Do you have any tips on ending self-sabotage? Posted: 21 Apr 2021 05:22 PM PDT So I've noticed behavior that is definitely a pattern. Here's how it starts: I commit to weightloss! I do great! I eat at a calorie deficit! I make healthier choices! It all feels incremental — no perfectionist thinking, no giant leaps, no restriction, etc. — and I start seeing the rewards! My clothes fit better! The scale's trending downwards! It feels like I'm finally going to reach my goals! And then, after a period (usually somewhere around 1-4 weeks) of making great progress and starting to lose weight, I have a couple days that aren't great. A couple of the good habits I've created for myself start to slide, just a little bit. And then at some point I realize all the progress I made has been erased by all the little things that slipped, and I'm back where I started...if not even a bit lower. What do you know about ending self-sabotage? Have you noticed any similar patterns in yourself? Most importantly: how have you solved for them and ended the pattern for good? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Apr 2021 11:29 PM PDT Male 27 I started intermittent fasting last month along with maintaining a calorie deficit of 500-700 calories. I run daily 4-5k. I lost 5 kgs, very happy about it. From 77 kg to 72 kg But my belly, love handles and the fat folds are still there, decreasing very slowly. On one hand, everyone says spot reduction is a myth and on the other, there are countless youtube videos showing abdominal exercises for fat loss. What should I believe? What else should I do? I even went on a Fruit and Seeds diet for 9 days (starting with a 36 hour water fast) and there was no drastic effect on my weight during that period. Should a person like totally stop eating and kill themselves to lose weight? Sorry for being so negative here. I need help. FYI , its not affecting my confidence or pushing me towards depression at all. But when you put so much efforts into something you would love to see results. I started with 38 inches waist including the handles and it is just 37 inch. [link] [comments] |

| Debilitating shin splints when WALKING :( Posted: 21 Apr 2021 05:21 PM PDT Hello. I (26/F/ 5'9", SW:343, CW: 330) have been steadily losing weight since March 1 (down 13lbs!) and I have done it mostly through CICO. I occasionally hit the gym and do home workouts as well. However, the exercise I like most is walking. I live in a big city and I can get a ton of walking in without getting bored. Last year in the early days of the pandemic I was walking for an hour at least 3 days per week with no issue. But lately, every time I go on a walk I get debilitating anterior shin splints. Almost always on my left shin. I have tried EVERYTHING. My shoes are properly fitted and have good support, I stretch and massage my muscles a lot before I go on a walk, I use compression socks, ice, elevation, anti-inflammatories..I've even tried gua sha (an ancient Chinese massaging technique.) I have also taken time off from exercise to see if I just needed to heal the muscles. Nothing is working. I can't walk for more than 15 minutes without my shin flaring up and it keeps me from getting in really good exercise. I WANT to walk for 40-60 minutes a day but I'm in so much pain that I can't even make it 30 minutes. One thing that is worth mentioning is that starting around July 2020 I fell into a pretty deep depression which lent itself towards VERY sedentary behavior and bad eating habits...I'm talking like...100 steps per day on some days. I'm not proud of this, but because of it I went from 318lbs to 343lbs between April and December 2020. Is it possible that I lost strength and muscle in my legs and they are having trouble adjusting to the excess weight that is being put on them now that I'm becoming active again? Again, I used to be able to walk aallllll over this city for hours, even as a fatass wearing crappy shoes, so this is so hard for me to deal with. Has anybody experienced shin splints while overweight and had success getting rid of them? Or has anyone had them go away once they lost a lot of weight? This is holding me back so much and I am in tears as I write this. Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments] |
