| Kids can be the absolute worst and it's been a bad day. Posted: 07 Apr 2021 03:13 PM PDT Going for our daily walk and a bunch of kids were playing basketball. They must of been judging the women as they walked by because I heard one say "that chick is fat" followed by a round of laughs. I've been struggling to lose it, and I've been running myself into the ground for weeks. Last month I walked over 120 miles. I wake up at 5 am every morning to do strength training. I try so hard not to eat like crap. I literally could not be working any harder and These assholes just ripped me apart for laughs. Damn it's embarrassing. I had to leave because I started crying. Ill be fine and I'm not going to stop and I know they are just a couple of punks who don't know shit...it just sucks man. I just needed to rant because today was a bad day. Edit: thanks everyone! After a good long, hard workout on the elliptical I can say i feel much better. Especially after the wonderful support from you :) Keep being awesome Seriously I wanted to thank you all again. You turned what might have been a detrimental day into a very positive one. I feel my confidence coming back. I'm so lucky to have such a supportive community at my side. Love you and gnight.

| Some ramblings of a 200 lbs lighter loser. Posted: 07 Apr 2021 06:38 AM PDT Becoming healthy had to mean more than just crash dieting my way there. Sure, the ketosis was helpful and a god send, but after losing over 200 lbs of fat while building muscle for over 2 and a half years, I had to figure out a sustainable path to continued success. I'm a teacher, and just like my students' academic progress, our paths to success (in the realm of living a healthy lifestyle) must be individualized. For me, that means working out 10 minutes 6 days a week with resistance bands and learning to cook pizza in a way that is part of a healthy diet. I had to teach myself to cook classic neapolitan pizzas at home, and I did. To me, my path to success involves writing poetry, watching sun rises, listening to loud hip hop, and utilizing intermittent fasting. Your path to success may involve going vegan, or xarnivore, doing lots of cardio, taking cat naps, drinking lots of wine, throwing axes, or milking a cow and tending a farm. I don't know what the hell that looks like for you, but that doesn't matter. What MATTERS is... do YOU know? It doesnt matter what path you take to be a better, happier, healthier you. It matters that you take that leap and you figure out WHAT it is YOUR leap looks like. And once you figure it out, keep figuring it out, as your journey to success is constantly evolving and the path to a better you is sure to go on for ever and have many twists and turns along the way.

| NSV: I wore shorts on a walk, and everything was fine Posted: 07 Apr 2021 12:32 PM PDT Early April 2020, I went to a doctor appointment and was disappointed with the number on the scale. I decided to get back into shape. I used to be an athlete. I used to enjoy running, but I had lost my inspiration in life and was kind of skating by to ignore the uselessness I felt. I took the bull by the horns and decided to drop my grad program that was bringing me down. I wanted to start doing the things I had previously enjoyed--reading, running, hiking--and to find something that I felt worth doing. I put on some workout clothes, leashed up my dog and set out for a jog. I realized jogging was more difficult than I remembered. I realized that my clothes were ill fitting. Nevertheless, I was determined to persevere. Jogging up a hill, I grasped the fabric around the fronts of my thighs to pull up my pants which had gradually been slipping down. In that moment, I felt the tearing sensation that no one wants to feel. The inner seams of my thighs--structurally compromised from my thighs rubbing together--had given out at last. This was embarrassing, but still I would go on. I quickly realized that this wasn't the case. The rubbing hurt. I had to turn around and make the 1 mile retreat home. Despite some bowlegged waddling, my thighs were red and raw. Two days later, my feet in the stirrups at my GYNO's office, he decided to try and make some conversation: "Ouch. Those look like some nasty sore spots. You ride horses often?" I had to tell him that no, I hadn't been on a horse in five years, that I was just fat. Anyways, one year later, I'm going out for my walk, and realize that it's hot. Hesitantly, I put on some shorts. 5 miles later, my thighs are intact and in one piece. 40 pounds down, and life is good. The ability to wear shorts without worrying about the consequences is freeing. [link] [comments] |
| NSV: My thighs don’t chafe anymore! Posted: 07 Apr 2021 01:37 PM PDT I began this small weight loss journey in November 2020 after finding myself on the cusp of the overweight BMI category (5'7" 155lb). For my whole life up until transferring to university, I was around 130lbs, and very comfortable there - I have chronic back issues so I really cannot tolerate much extra weight, and my doctor told me to keep a strong core to minimize back pain. However, throughout the last five years or so, I have outgrown a closet's worth of clothes and have steadily climbed around 5lbs a year. As of last week, I've lost 16lbs - meaning I'm only 4lbs away from my goal weight! About two days ago, I was walking my puppy in shorts (I was in shorts, not my puppy). Where I live, it's already ~90 degrees. Anyways, I realized how much better walking felt. It was so much easier and so much more comfortable. My thighs don't rub together anymore! Honestly, I didn't even realize how uncomfortable it was when they did, because it's been a few years since I've been this weight. I've been telling my fiance about this win since I noticed it, and I thought it might be nice to tell other people. Ya'll, it feels soooo much better to walk. SO MUCH BETTER! After just a 16lb loss. So yeah, I'm a small loser, but of course I will share what has worked for me:
So, those are all of the things that helped me out. Feel free to ask me questions if you want to. My weight loss is nothing to write home about, but yeah, I feel so much better. Thanks for reading! [link] [comments] |
| I lost 31 pounds in 4 months and I've never felt better. Posted: 07 Apr 2021 11:00 PM PDT Height: 188cm | SW: 260lbs | CW: 229lbs | GW: 195lbs Hey! Long-time lurker here. In the last few months, I've really challenged myself to try to clean up my eating habits. I'm a pretty heavy emotional eater - when things don't go my way I would always retreat to my snacks - milky way bars, Hot Cheetos, large smoothies, you name it. Also, during this pandemic, I got into a really bad habit of ordering out all the time (my own fault) whether it was Thai food, huge chipotle burritos, bubble tea, or Wendy's (oh god the Baconator combos really had me going). This was definitely not good for my wallet either. I remember looking in the mirror in October and being disgusted with myself, confused about how I got to this point. I started by cutting out sugar, and slowly working my way to 19-hour intermittent fasts, 16-hour minimum which I found very sustainable for my lifestyle. After that, I replaced some of the foods I was eating with healthier alternatives like homemade salads. As of today, I'm officially 31 pounds lighter - halfway to my goal weight. I haven't been this light since I was in college, which was quite a bit ago and it feels amazing. The difference is very visible and it was great to see my friends' reactions during my birthday this past weekend. I know I have further to go, but reading the stories on here gave me the motivation to keep up with the clean eating and diet. I would love it if other people felt more comfortable in their body like I do now - so if I could do the same for somebody else that would literally warm my heart. Thank you r/loseit. You rock.

| NSV: Just went on a shopping spree at a "regular clothing store" to get a new wardrobe Posted: 07 Apr 2021 07:34 AM PDT I used to joke that the Big and Tall Department at JC Penney was the only thing keeping that place in business. I even posted an open letter to them on Facebook to make me CEO to rebrand the store as a big and tall store. Sadly they did not respond :(. An affordable Big and Tall store with decent enough clothes was hard to find in my area, so I often found myself as the only customer at my local JC Penney buying clothes, and it was fine. I was never the guy who was upset about having to go to a Big and Tall Store, it was just part of the price I paid for my obesity, not really a big deal, but it was pretty inconvenient. No longer. After a long year working from home, eating at home, exercising at home, sticking to 1500-2500 calories/day averaging 1700, I finally have returning to social activities and work on the horizon, and my wife and I (who has also been losing weight at a great clip) decided to reward ourselves with a trip to the Gap Outlet Factory Store nearby. I used to think of Gap as a store that didn't like fat people, and a place I could never shop at, and it was some sort of conspiracy that their 2xls always ran small. At about half the weight I used to be, I found out some things: -Their shirt sizes do not run small, if anything they're a tad big for me compared to other M shirts I've bought now that I'm soundly in M territory. -I fit into a size 33 men's pants comfortably. There was a time where squeezing into a 46 was a joke and way too tight, I didn't even know they made odd sizes in pants but I'm glad they do as the 32s are a tad tight and the 34s are loose. -Clothes cost significantly less when you can shop around at a bunch of places for the best deals, instead of having to buy from just one or two places -I don't have the problem with a shirt fitting well width wise, but being "too short", as in, not long enough to cover my belly (standard 3XL's for me at my starting weight). Clothes fit better when your belly doesn't produce some odd upper body shapes Looking in the mirror in the dressing room of a real brick and mortar store after a year, knowing the last time I tried clothes on it was over a year and 150 lbs ago, is one of those moments when it "hits you", what you did was real, you paid back your calorie debt and fixed the biggest problem in your life. Good luck to you all, as I've said before, much of these results come at the end of your journey, but they will come. My waist didn't significantly decrease until I got below 250 at 5'8, so DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED, the results WILL COME if you stick with your habits, just ensure they are sustainable. Stick with it, keep your end goals in mind. There will be many ways to revel in your victory when your old habits surrender to your new habits, go crush your goals. LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!

| When did something finally click for you? Posted: 07 Apr 2021 09:17 PM PDT When did something in your head finally click, and you were able to sustain losing weight long term? I've tried dieting/lifestyle changes in the past, multiple times. Nothing has ever worked. But this time it seems different. If I go to bed a little hungry, so what? If I eat a little bit over my calorie goal for the day, so what? If my scale fluctuates a little bit, so what? I'm down 27 lbs as of today (M 32 5' 11" 282.3lbs) and I finally found something that I would deem sustainable. I have no problem living the rest of my life like this now. I need to lose another 75+ lbs to get to my goal, but I know that I will, and that is comforting to me. Before it was much harder for me for some reason, and now it's just something that I do. I eat around 1500 calories a day and I've been losing weight consistently without exercise. When did it click for you? [link] [comments] |
| M32 5’8” 257 Lbs, lost 35 but regained Posted: 07 Apr 2021 07:41 PM PDT Hey all, Long time lurker but never really a poster but I just wanted to start off and say that everyone's stories on here have been so amazing. Congrats to everyone who have reached their goals and everyone working on heading that direction. To the topic at hand, I don't know if this is really the correct place to discuss it, but recently I lost about 35 Lbs on my journey to hitting ~180 and was feeling great. Sadly though I lost my father 6 months ago to a sudden stroke, and backslid hard. I'm an emotional eater as I'm sure a good chunk of us are, and it really took a toll on me but so did regaining the weight. It seemed to go from making unhealthy choices to flat out binge eating. I've tried to curb it here and there but only recently have felt up to really trying again and getting back on that so called wagon. Not 100% sure why I'm mentioning this, maybe I just wanted to vent or commiserate, or even just hear people's tips for how they got back to it on their journey. Regardless thank you to anyone who reads this and a bigger thank you to anyone who comments. Looking forward to posting my own weight loss milestones in the near future. [link] [comments] |
| I(46M) need tips on how to help my reluctant daughter( 14F) lose weight Posted: 07 Apr 2021 09:00 AM PDT Took her to a doctor's appointment Monday, she got weighed, the number alarmed me, she was pretty shocked as well. Her doctor strongly suggested diet and exercise measures be taken. Her weight has always been in issue, and that's mainly my fault as her father and a single parent, I should've monitored that better instead of kicking the can down the road, but, now we can't kick the can anymore. My daughter has been on the fence. It seems hour by hour she flips between, " I'm ready to lose weight" to " I don't know if I'm ready, if I can do it, I'm not ready to give up my favorite foods". I figure it's best not to force her at this point, I figure that would only lead to fights and hurt feelings, although, I could be wrong. Should I put my foot down and tell her we are going to do this or should I leave it up to her? [link] [comments] |
| I need to lose weight, but just thinking about it is upsetting Posted: 07 Apr 2021 10:51 PM PDT So in the last seven years, I've gone from 45 kilos (underweight) to 85. I know I need to change, but every time I think about it I get completely overwhelmed, and it just seems impossible. Warning: there is some serious whingeing incoming. I started gaining weight at around the age of 20, after a) going on antidepressants and b) getting a driver's license/car. At first I was actually kind of happy, because I needed to gain weight, but. It just didn't stop. And now I am the Pillsbury Dough Man. As far as my mental health is concerned, the meds helped but I'm still pretty depressed and unmotivated even when it comes to the things I care about, so that basically doesn't help. On the other hand, I'm in a much better place than I used to be, and I think as far as my mental health is concerned it's not reasonable for me to focus solely on that with the assumption that improving my mental health will make it easier to fix my physical health. The motivation just isn't there, but it's not going to get there, and I need to just learn to manage without it. The problem is that I feel like I would need to change basically everything about myself as a person in order to lose weight. For one thing, I hate cooking. I work 8:30-5 and I'm exhausted when I come home in the afternoon and wake up in the morning. I know that's not actually that many hours, and I walk to work so my commute is really short (like 15-20 mins?) so I shouldn't have room to complain, but the thought of finding recipes, shopping, cooking and cleaning up is just exhausting. Especially since getting takeaway is so easy. The second problem is that I kind of hate most healthy food. I don't like eggs, yoghurt or nuts, I don't like salad (although I do like most veggies in other contexts), I don't like spicy food, and I'm overall just a picky eater. I love bread and potatoes and cheese and pastries. I also don't really like eating the same leftovers for a week, which makes prepping meals to deal with the first problem harder. Legitimately, sometimes I look at my cat eating his cat food and wish there was something like that for humans. Just nutritionally balanced pellets to make me stop being hungry and stop having to think about food and stop craving junk constantly. Anyway, I have no self-control and I hate most healthy food, and hate having to think about what I eat even more. Exercise is also problematic. I was bad at basically all sports as a kid, and got made fun of a lot for it. I've never really found sport or exercise to be fun - either it's humiliating or just kind of boring. I don't like sweating, or having to take time out of my day to hit balls or run around or pick up heavy things. Not to mention that exercise clothes are extra laundry. I realise that all of this sounds incredibly selfish and whiny. I'm basically just being a toddler about this, throwing a tantrum because I have to do something I don't like. But the problem - the real problem - is that I actually don't have to do it at all. I am an adult with the freedom to sit around and eat myself into an early grave, and nobody can stop me. So I'm wondering if anyone else has managed to overcome this kind of laziness and lack of motivation. How did you do it? Where does that kind of mental strength come from? Is there a way to find what I'm missing here? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2021 03:43 PM PDT I just need to drop 7 measly little pounds and weight loss ACHIEVED! I'm super excited but a little unhappy... I binged a lot today. I ate a bunch of chips, candies, sushi, cookies, and even some cake....honestly I'm scared I'll gain more weight and be further from my goal... Especially when I'm so close.... Binging episodes are really difficult for me to handle sometimes... These binging episodes are why I'm struggling with weightloss in a healthy way. I've also struggled with eating disorders but I'm doing my best to lose weight in a healthy way and staying body positive while acknowledging that I probably need to drop a few pounds. At one point, I was 3 lbs away from my goal weight with great abs and toned legs. That was almost a year ago. I'm trying my hardest to achieve that now! If you've got any low-cal but healthy recipes, please tell me in the comments! Thank you for reading! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2021 04:56 PM PDT Hi all, I'm an 18yo girl and I weigh 260lbs. I know what you're thinking, how did she let this happen. And I'm not entirely sure to be completely honest. I'm now in college and I'm attempting to lose weight, once again. However, my friends are telling me I'm not going about it in the right way. Right now, I'm trying to do CICO. My caloric intake is around 1,300 a day, but I don't have a very active lifestyle, although I am going to try and turn that around (surely but slowly). I would love to do keto, but that just won't work on a college campus, based on the foods that are available to us, and I can't necessarily afford to pay for keto meals out of pocket every day. I'm cutting out pasta, pizza, most processed foods, and most sugary things. I've been mixing it up and I've been eating more greens, chicken, rice, carrots & hummus, and fruits. I drink a substantial amount of water a day, and I drink fruit smoothies a couple of times a week. I've heard that CICO doesn't actually work, but I've read many stories of people on this and another thread that says otherwise, but if you can think of another way I can shed the pounds, please let me know!

| I realised something this morning... Posted: 07 Apr 2021 04:54 AM PDT Hi, obligatory long time lurker, never posted, always read, sorry for the long post... I started off my weight loss journey in 2017 with 270 pounds, and got down to a proud and very sporty 213 at some point, it was still too much, but man was I fit and happy! And well what can i say, corona came and boom 250 here we come. Then I had enough, pulled off three months of keto, hit the gym and I was down to 233 and back on track and feeling motivated. Then come November things got real bad. Out of fear of getting depressed in my one bedroom apartment far away from family and friends, I decided to move back in with my parents, whole house, garden, pets, contact... You get the picture. The only problem? Food! It's everywhere, it's comforting, and its kind of a hobby for my parents... Healthy breakfast and lunch, because they are MY meal-times and well... trying to not max out on dinners... which is hard with all those yummy creamy sauces and comforting carbs and depression screwing with your brain... And unfortunately I started hating myself again... which sucks, because this situation is just about ready to take away all the hard work I did for my mind, body and soul. So yesterday I had enough and I got a scale to judge how bad the damage was. And to say the least I was scared and ready for hating myself big time for giving up. Yet, what can I say as of this morning 233 lbs is my current weight. I didn't lose anything living here, but I sure as hell did NOT gain weight. So I just realised: These times are tough on everybody and circumstances are definitely hard and will stay tough for a while. But it's the little things, that we can control ourselves, the extra block we add on our walk, one scoop less of pasta and just accepting that sometimes you can't control everything in life and you can still be underestimating what you've accomplished by trying your current best. So, today I choose to see that I have lost 37 Pounds overall and I'm just getting started! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2021 11:23 PM PDT Hello! (Obligatory, "on mobile device" disclaimer.) I'm going on a short vacation after I'm fully vaccinated at the beginning of summer. I'm working diligently on eating 1200-1300 calories a day currently. The friends I'll be going with are excited about catching a buffet, drinking, etc. All the fun one can expect to indulge in on vacation... and a dieter's nightmare. It's not that I'm not excited, but I'm scared (?!). Scared of relapsing and having to start the journey over again in a few months time, I suppose. Just scared of gaining weight. This journey is, in my mind, a lifestyle change. I don't ever want to have to undertake this experience again. I want to live in the gray area where I can enjoy eating (let's face it) unhealthy-ily, where I can maintain my weight when I go back home, where I can be realistic, patient, and kind with myself and my body. So, what do you do on vacation while dieting? I've been mulling a few ideas over in my mind lately. Let loose on one meal a day, while eating mindfully during the other two? Stick to lighter alcoholic options (like vodka sodas, seltzers, light beers, etc.) and have just one heavier drink? Or should I not bother with this at all and eat and drink to my heart's content? Thanks for reading. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 Apr 2021 02:00 AM PDT Hi friends, I hope you're all well and going strong with your journey. 27F SW: 13st 10, CW: 12st 13 (181 pounds), GW: 9st 6 Was CICO, starting IF with Keto. I just wanted to share a YouTube channel which helps me, and I thought it might help some of you. I personally live off Reddit readings these days, listening to them while I work to help me get to stay in the right mindset. And Mutt Fitness on YouTube is a great one for me. He's very chill, and gives good advice (in my opinion). Check him out if you'd like! P.S. I have zero affiliation with him, I just honestly like his style and voice.

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 7 Posted: 07 Apr 2021 03:57 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy Wednesday! You're all kicking butt & taking names & I'm living for it. Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & report here even if I don't like it: 242.2 lbs this morning, X lbs trend weight. Stay within calorie range (1800): Maintenance today. I got my first dose of COVID vaccine & may have had a voodoo donut about it. 4/7 days. Exercise 5 days a week: 30 minute walk about. 7/7 days. Self-care alone time & ten deep breath cycles a day: Breathing right meow, about to have some alone time for therapy. Try a new recipe once a week: Not sure what I'll be doing here yet but it's about salad season, so I sense new dressings coming up. X/4 weeks. Write 1500 words a day 6 days a week: Gonna hit this up tonight! Do a mindfulness exercise and express gratitude: I was out for a walk in a proper city today after my vaccine appointment. It's been so long since I've done that it was impossible to not be in the moment, mindful of so many sensory inputs all at once. I'm so grateful to have my vaccine process started. I'm also grateful to have a little light at the end of the tunnel even if we're still in the woods kids. It was dark a long time for me & so much of the world. Your turn! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Apr 2021 10:55 AM PDT So now that more people are getting vaccinated(at least where I am), we are slowly returning to some resemblance of normal life....going back to the office, more social interaction, events, etc. That means people who have been losing during the pandemic can finally have a big "coming out party" and show off their hard work. Share some positive stories about revealing the new you to people that hadn't seen you in forever. What were the best comments, did it motivate you to keep going, did anyone not recognize you, etc... Can be recent, old, whatever! I've always liked reading these types of stories as motivation edit: this is not a post for discussing whether or not it's okay to comment on people's weight. it is to share POSITIVE stories that happened to you and made you feel good [link] [comments] |
| Words of Wisdom from Theatre School Posted: 07 Apr 2021 04:06 PM PDT When I was in college several years ago (I went to UConn to study theatre and puppetry), one of my instructors said a phrase that has stuck with me since then: "You make time for the things that are important to you". ~I love video games. When I'm at home, I play some games for a couple hours a day. I make time for it. One thing I have been struggling to make important to me is my health. I haven't been making time for it very much. I've only been casually counting calories for the past couple months. I've only been playing Ring Fit Adventure a couple times during those couple months. I've lost about 6 lbs since starting, but I feel I can (and will) do better. I need to remind myself that my body/health happiness is just as important as the hobbies that make my brain happy. I struggle for motivation, but finding reasons health and fitness are important to me is paramount. That is the next hurdle on my journey to lose weight and get healthy. Not sure if anyone else feels this, or needs this bit of wisdom, but I thought I'd share it with you all. Thanks for all the support this subreddit provides to all of us on our journeys of getting healthy! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 07 Apr 2021 11:06 PM PDT ready for help hey everyone so i'm 17F and i weigh 175 as of today. when i was younger i was overweight and started to grow out of it to where i was about 140 in the 7th grade. once i reached 8th grade, my "relationship" at the time (i was young i know) pushed me to lose weight and want to reinvent myself. i lost about 15 pounds from february 2018 to june 2018 and was steady around like 125-130. i was also a cheerleader at the time. this was also the period of time in my life where i discovered smoking weed. this changed me dramatically and overtime i developed a bad dependency on it and from about october 2018 to now, i've gained about 35-40 pounds and a bad addiction to fast food and eating out. i also don't cheer anymore. i got into a new relationship with someone who wasn't exactly the best role model for me and enabled this addiction, and i'm still with him. in august 2020, something happened between us and i gained about 20 of those pounds (155-175). i've now realized i had denied my bad dependency on food and drugs for so long that i didn't realize how bad it got. i was so happy with myself before and now i can barely stand to look at myself in the mirror. i'm finished denying that i have an eating disorder and want to figure out how to mentally change my bad relationship with food and develop a healthy relationship instead. sorry if this post is a mess, i just feel like i need some guidance.

| M28 Just cant seem to push past this barrier Posted: 08 Apr 2021 01:08 AM PDT Hey all. I am a 28 year old male, 186cm (6'2"). my goal is probably to get down to the 90-95 mark. I started off a few years ago at 160kg(350lb) and through CICO I got myself down to 100kg (220lb) but ground to a halt 9-12 months ago, maybe longer I figured with everything going on both globally and personally at the time I would just leave the plateau alone and see if It was one that was just going to end on its own. but here we are, a new year, and instead of losing weight I am slowly putting it back on again, woke up one day noticed my shirts were tighter than I remembered...Shit. My biggest problem has been and continues to be finding a calorie intake that works for me, all the TDEE websites seem to spit out a maintenance number in the ballpark of ~2500 but if I start even eating remotely close to the 2000 mark I start gaining again. I work 6 days a week so I find finding time to actually get off my ass and exercise a significant amount to be a real struggle. So I guess after all that rambling what my question boils down to is, eating significantly less than my TDEE works, but is unsustainable and miserable, eating anywhere near that 500 under mark that is recommended doesn't seem to work for me, so what should my next steps be to push through another 5-10kg [link] [comments] |
