| I’m Obese. Bought an elliptical and used it every single day for 200 days. Posted: 18 May 2021 02:20 PM PDT ...And I feel like I have failed. Good day, ladies and gentlemen of r/loseit. This is an update post to my post from 30th of November 2020: I'm Obese. Bought an elliptical and used it every single day for a month. The first post got a lot of traction, and I got many requests for a follow up, so I thought I would make one for those who are interested. The meat and potatoes, so to speak: A while back I suddenly found myself having exercised for 3-4 days, and figured it would be fun to try to do a full month. Well, today that streak has grown to a full 200 days. Due to an unhealthy lifestyle and diet plans that never came to fruition, I've only lost ~25 lbs, which is not much for my size. Aside from my daily exercise, I spend most of my days sitting at my desk, and eating whatever I want. I'm hoping that with the wind in my sails, that I will be able to adapt a healthier lifestyle once my exams disappear over the horizon behind me. Routine: At some point throughout the day I will get on my elliptical and watch an episode of a show on Netflix that is around ~40 minutes in length (usually). Just as before, I still never get on the elliptical to prove anything, but instead I try to focus 100% on improving upon myself. I've turned the resistance level on the elliptical up quite a lot over time, and I am able to do full sessions, whereas I was not even able to do 30 minutes on the lowest setting when I first started. Results: I continue to feel better as I keep exercising daily. The changes I felt after the first month are the same changes I feel today, but just in a greater fashion. It's easier to walk, it's easier to get up, it's easier to bend over to pick something up/plug something in/etc., and I think I might be starting to notice some gains on my face. I definitely feel more confident looking in the mirror now, but I'm not sure if that's just placebo or if there are some changes happening (I should have taken progress pics, lesson learned, folks!). Overview of exercises. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk again [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2021 06:03 AM PDT I love this sub as it has given me a great deal of information and motivation on my weight loss journey, but there are a few things that have been driving me crazy lately. Let me start by saying I understand some people are new to this and are just asking questions to try an learn. Much love and respect for educating yourselves and trying to be the best you. BUT If you have " plateaued" and it's only been 2 days that's not a plateau If you are definitely in a calorie deficit (but don't track calories) and aren't losing weight you aren't in a calorie deficit If your watch says you burnt 7000 cal today you probably didn't You aren't going to accidentally become a bodybuilder by going to the gym If you think you have a medical issue go see a doctor don't ask Reddit And yes there will absolutely be outliers for all of this and it won't fit 100% of the population Good luck to you all, be kind to yourself you got this!

| Posted: 18 May 2021 10:47 AM PDT hello everyone, My boyfriend is a frequent user of Reddit, and in exploring the internet for myself I found this subreddit today. I am 21F and 5'10. I am currently sitting around 270 pounds. My heaviest weight was 282, in February of last year. I lost 60 pounds last year, but I did it by eating less than 400 calories a day and then binging for about a week. I was always a bit overweight when I was younger, but I was very active and healthy. Sadly, over the past 8 years of my life, my mental health has been crap. I've been through a couple hospital visits and 14 different psychiatric medications (9 at once!). I saw 9 psychiatrists throughout one year, most passing me on because I was "too severe". Finally, I had an assessment appointment with a very well regarded psychiatrist, who basically was shocked that I was on so many meds. She pulled me off almost all of them, and now I am only being medicated for depression and anxiety, the two disorders I actually have. While on all the medications, I unfortunately gained 130 pounds. I didn't really realize it until after I was taken off the drugs and saw a picture of myself for the first time in a while. I cried a lot. Since being taken off the meds a year ago, I've had some struggles with my eating habits and mental health. But there's also a ton of good things! I finished my undergrad a few weeks ago and am heading to my masters degree in health sciences this fall. I have an article awaiting peer review too!! I keep trying to lose, but I've never done it properly. My mom is obsessed with fad diets, and since I've been living at home because of covid, I am constantly exposed to them. Many times throughout my teenage years and now, she has tried to convince me to go on fasting diets where I ate nothing for two weeks, and then got a protein day where I was allowed to have some chicken breast. I think this is why I was intent on restricting so much last year. I also went into cycles of binging and purging, which is super unhealthy. I have a huge fear of actually eating what my body needs because I am scared I'll gain. Though I am now realizing that is not the case. 3 weeks ago, I began with a personal trainer. I could not hold a plank for more than five seconds, and now I can go for a minute and a half!! I have been eating at 1400 calories a day starting yesterday, with 190g of protein, 60g of fat, and the rest carbs. I am trying to not sleep as much anymore and am starting to have regular therapy/psychiatry appointments. I hope to hit 150 pounds maybe in 10 months or so. I want to do this for me. I hate looking in the mirror and being sad at what I see. I want to make my boyfriend and parents and friends proud. But I also want to make me proud. This is my millionth day one. But this time, I'm doing it right. I am excited to see where I can go. Thank you for taking the time to read about my life :) Any advice you may have would be much appreciated!! Editing to add: after a few very helpful people advised me in the comments, I think I'm going to try and up my carb intake to hit about 1800 calories. Thank you for all being wonderful humans :) [link] [comments] |
| Completed my first run in a month since falling of the wagon!!! Posted: 18 May 2021 07:22 PM PDT This past month has been really hard/ stressful on me. I fell back into my old habits, stopped working out and was binging almost every day cause I thought food was my only comfort. After realizing that lifestyle was contributing to my stress and making me feel like shit. I finally decided to put my work out clothes on and went for a run! Am also cleaning up my eating as my poor diet was really messing up with my sleep...forgot how much I actually enjoy exercise hahaha Even though I regained 7lbs and it sucks that I have to lose that weight again. Will try and keep my head high and not let it discourage my fitness journey! [link] [comments] |
| I tracked my consistency for 30 days and lost 7 lbs Posted: 18 May 2021 12:59 PM PDT 20F, 5'8", SW:195 CW:188 GW:150 This might sound obvious to some, but I still wanted to share. I've restarted my weight loss journey in April and figured the only way I was gonna make progress was to track the days I stayed within my calories and the days I went over. My goal was to be 80% consistent and I met it by staying within my calories 24/30 days. I used a white board and put a red X on each day I stayed on track and a black O on each day I went over my calories (this method was first developed by Jordan Syatt I believe). My goal of staying 80% consistent allowed me to enjoy social gatherings (this month's main event was Mother's Day) without guilt and without ruining my progress. Overall having a visual representation of my consistency really helped me stay on track and having consistency as a goal meant wasn't obsessing over the scale since I had another data point to measure. All this to say that I lost 7lbs in a month (averaging a pretty sutainable 1.75lbs a week) and I highly recommend visually tracking your consistency to anyone trying to lose weight or trying to form any good habit really.

| Finally got the courage to weigh myself. Posted: 18 May 2021 04:05 PM PDT I've been steadily putting on weight since Covid began. I knew that when it started, I (5'11" M) was creeping into the mid-200s. By the time I was ready to put my foot down and start the journey back to health, I found myself paralyzed with fear. I couldn't bring myself to even step on the scale. My greatest fear was that I had actually managed to exceed 300 lbs. I was terrified. I didn't want to face letting myself go to such an extent. I was afraid that it would send me spiraling into a deeper depression. 299 lbs. would be fine. I could deal with that, but one pound more would suck...so much. I know it's not wise to be so obsessed with a number, but this was that number I swore to myself I'd never hit. I'd get my act together before then, surely! It was my hard limit, the point at which I would consider myself a failure. Great mindset, I know, but hey, that's how I felt. I needed a way to track my progress and I couldn't even take the first step. I couldn't eat healthy for 2 weeks and see a couple pounds lost to keep me motivated because I didn't even know how much I weighed to start. I finally weighed myself today. I psyched myself up for days to face the truth. I was scared to step on that scale and I did it anyway. I've taken the first step. I'm ready to start my journey. I'm more motivated than I've been in years and I know that I'll succeed. SW: 296.2 lbs. [link] [comments] |
| The First 12 Weeks: An analysis of beginning my weight loss journey Posted: 18 May 2021 11:23 PM PDT Warning: Long-ass post. To as today comes to a close, it's also the final day in the first 12 weeks of my weight loss, and I thought to mark the occasion by sharing some personal information about my journey. Starting Weight: 310ish. I say ish, because the scale I had at the time was a complete chunk of garbage and would throw anything from 315 down to 300, so after the first week I went out and bought a new scale which has been much more reliable. So the weights in the first week were actually an average of 3 weigh ins I would do 30 second apart. Not the most accurate but close enough for government work. Current Weight: 277lbs. While I did technically have two weigh ins that were 276, I prefer to use a weekly average of my weights to give me a more stable estimation of my actual weight. Total Weight Loss: Somewhere between 28 and 33lbs. How I did it: Tracking calories. While I know some people like using apps like My Fitness Pal to track their calories, I just used a Google spreadsheet. The Spreadsheet How much did I eat: So the first couple days, I was just sort of finding my footing, and I ended up at over 2800 a day. And even those days were lower than normal because I was consciously aware of how much I was actually eating. After those two days, my goal was to average about 2000 a day. My first week, even with two days at 2800 I averaged 2080. After that week, I would generally average between 1600-1800, though I did have one week where I was down near 1500. My final average for the 12 weeks was 1732 per day. What did I eat: Literally the exact same stuff I was eating before I started losing weight. I've just been a lot more conscious about portion size and how frequently I'm snacking. I still eat pizza, and pasta, just not as much of it. Still have the occasional candybar. If I want a soda, I go for the zero calorie version. But I've also discovered a new enjoyment of other foods. Spinach is something I never thought I'd try. Now it's a staple in my fridge. And broccoli. Friggen LOVE broccoli. Never saw that one coming. How much did I actually lose: Somewhere between 28-33lbs is about right for total loss. My first weigh in with my new, reliable scale was 308, so realistically, 31 is probably about right. Week over week, I was averaging 3lbs per week lost with a couple outliers. My largest single week loss was 4lbs, and lowest single week loss was 0. Eliminating those two extremes, my average was right around 3lbs per week. What is my actual TDEE: Just shy of 3300. In a previous post I talked about how to calculate ones actual TDEE, as opposed to using a TDEE calculator. Using 12 weeks of my own real world data and weight loss, I can confidently say my is right around 3300. (mathematically it's 3272 but that's splitting hairs at this point). According to the normal TDEE calculators, that puts me right around lightly active. Which really does make sense, because outside of my dedicated exercises, I don't do much. I sit on my butt at work, go to the gym, then come and sit on my butt. Where to go from here? I'm planning on another 12 week block. That will get me into the middle of August, when I have to get fitted for a tux for my best friends wedding. Based on current trends I should be somewhere around 250 by then. During that time I'll be doing an 8 week maintenance phase (because not gonna spend $200 renting a tux just to look bad in it). After that, get right back into another 12 week block and go from there. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2021 09:42 PM PDT So I don't know exactly why I am doing this. Accountability? Tips? Support? Helpful advice? Maybe one, maybe all, maybe none. But I am doing this. It's May 19, 2021 and I want to start a journey for myself to lose weight and document this, again I don't know why at this point (I'll hopefully tell you later). I am about 6'0", 377.4 lbs, 32 years old. I worry my weight will cause me to die in the near figure. I have OSA and high blood pressure from the weight. I am expecting a new baby in 70ish days. A baby girl. I want to dance with her at her wedding. I want to see my son become a father. I want to be here for my wife. So as I don't know what I am asking you for, anything is appreciated. I hope to continue documenting this for whatever the reason may be, hopefully successful. I lost 30 pounds to start 2021, then gained 10 back. Highest weight ever 398 lbs. 225lb in 2010. Have went up and down so much in my life but want to go down and keep it down. Here's to hoping! Thanks in advance for whatever it is I need, want, or that you can give! Edit: My goals for the next 7 days (wanted to do 30 but idk if that's too long). Maybe this is where advice people guidance comes in? (1) Workout on elliptical: 4/7 days (2) Workout either short walk outside or elliptical: 6/7 days (3) Track calories/carbs: 5/7 days (4) Eat under 2000 calories: 3/7 days [is this a good number?] (5) Drink 100+ oz of water: 6/7 days (6) Do something for my mental health: 4/7 days {{fingers crossed}} [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2021 11:53 AM PDT I recently lost about 45 lbs and it took a lot of work. I tried to do it as healthy as possible and the my biggest goal was to stop binge eating. It's nice to feel like I like the way my body looks a little more now but I mostly wanted to change my relationship with food. I started my weight loss journey after finally meeting with a psychologist for other mental health issues that were going on. A few of my co workers have made nasty remarks like "you're withering now! You are too skinny" and "wow you need to stop losing weight are you okay!?! you looked better before". This isn't a job I want to make a career out of but I still feel sad over it. It just hurts my feelings because I'm just trying to do better. I'm a healthy weight now and I would never make comments like that to people I work with. How am I supposed to respond to these comments? I have been ignoring them. Has anyone else gotten feedback like that from people they know [link] [comments] |
| Just a reminder that you don't have to go cold turkey and throw yourself in the deep end Posted: 18 May 2021 05:26 PM PDT The more you try to start at once the more likely you are to fail, you don't have to start a skincare routine, a 500 calorie deficit, a 6 day gym program and 4L of water a day. For the vast majority of us throwing ourselves into the deep end on many different self improvement projects or massive life changes is just too much. Heres a few ways to do better pick up new habits. Weightloss, CICO, get used to tracking your daily consumption first, spend a week or two making sure you scan and weigh everything before implementing the actual diet. Water, don't do it off of the raw amount, lugging around a gigantic bottle is daunting as fuck, instead just cut out non-water drinks and build from there. Same goes for doing multiple things, start working out, when that becomes routine start eating well and when that becomes routine start doing cold showers and so on. Health and fitness is a lifestyle built from habits, building the habits is the best thing you can do. [link] [comments] |

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 18 Posted: 18 May 2021 05:13 PM PDT Hey lovely losers, Happy Tuesday! Tuesday, day 18, good heavens how May is running away from me already! Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & remove moral judgement/stigma/shame directed at yourself about it: Weighed in & recorded this morning. I am more than just this number. I may start reporting the actual numbers again in the near future but only if it serves a purpose & doesn't make me feel crappy about the long game.
Exercise 5 days a week: 30-minute lunch walk & stationary bike. 14/18 days. Alone time to word vomit into journal: Digital journal today. Gratitude list: Today I'm grateful for chicken thighs & the relative ease of counting calories after you've been doing it a while. Like this old lady right. Your turn! [link] [comments] |
| Soda Calorie Hack for Soda Lovers Posted: 18 May 2021 08:21 PM PDT If you hate the taste of diet soda, and can't go full on water just yet, here is a way to reduce your caloric intake from soda without sacrificing taste or fizziness: MIX YOUR SODA! Start with 75% regular soda, 25% diet. It's easy to do if you use a soda fountain at fast food places, or at home. Once you get used to the taste, try 50/50. Get creative. I noticed that I could do 75% diet Coke and 25% regular soda if it was Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke, because the regular Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke is so strong. Over time, you will decrease your desire for strong soda and will be able to move on to less calorically dense drinks. This is a good bridge for heavy soda drinkers to take to eventually get into the place where they're guzzling water like the boys at r/HydroHomies. Edit: I bragged to the guys at r/HydroHomies about this post on lose it: https://www.reddit.com/r/HydroHomies/comments/nfv2m5/hydrohomies_you_are_an_inspiration/ [link] [comments] |
| Is becoming obese the biggest L you can hand yourself? Posted: 18 May 2021 03:57 PM PDT Apologies if this comes across as a pity party for myself - it somewhat is, but also I just feel a need to vent and this feels like the right spot. For reference I'm 173cm/5'8 AND 28 y/o from the UK. I've never been skinny, and since leaving uni was always in need of losing weight but it wasn't an enormous issue. However, these days I'm walking around at about 113kg which I believe is around 250lbs or so. I found an app on my phone where I was previously tracking weight and the last entry was September 2019, 87kg (about 191lbs). I calculated that it's been about 20 months between those weigh-ins with a difference of 26kg/57lbs, for an average monthly gain of 1.3kg/2.8lbs. I remember I used to wear 38" waist clothes snd felt that was far too large, nowadays it's 46"/3XL. Instead of a M or L shirt it's 1XL (between XL and 2XL). Taking the stairs into the office leaves me breathless, sweating snd flustered and my feet used to hurt terribly after switching from working from home last year to coming back to the office. I don't how how I let this happen to myself but it's now normal to just order in fast food. I was also regularly binge drinking which I can happily say isn't an issue now, but I think that's the big issue with getting fat - you build a life of terrible habits that are so tough to break when needed. I'm due to implement daily exercise and change my eating habits, but I just hate how I have put myself in a situation where I will need to vigilantly lose weight for 1-2 years. Becoming obese is probably the stupidest thing you can do to yourself short of drugs or self harm, so here's to learning from this snd never playing myself again in the future. [link] [comments] |
| 100 Day Lose It Challenge - Start Posted: 18 May 2021 10:15 PM PDT Hey Reddit, so I'm a 25 yr old, 6 ft 2 In. Male who has always struggled with my weight. I recently quit smoking after 6 long years and felt that getting fit & healthy and bringing some discipline in my life was the next best thing to do. I'm currently 113.2 Kg / 249.56 lbs and have always had a goal weight of 85 Kg / 187.39 lbs. So my '100 Day Lose It Challenge' is pretty simple. Get to my goal weight of 85 Kg / 187.39 lbs on 'Day 100' no matter what. I'll be documenting my progress here to hold me accountable, hopefully motivate some of you, and get the community behind creating their own '100 Day Lose It Challenge' that drives the collective to achieve their own personal fitness goals. My ground rules are pretty simple (Again these are mine, you can create your own):
I'll be using 'Pacer' and 'Lifesum / MyFitnessPal' to track my progress, i.e. daily steps, nutrition, weight loss, BMI and so on. The next post will be the end of Day 1. Any advice/recommendations are encouraged :) Let's get it! [link] [comments] |
| Weigh-In Wednesday (Share Your Numbers) Posted: 18 May 2021 09:01 PM PDT Share Your Numbers!!!Welcome back to another week of weigh-in Wednesday. Share your +/- change from last Wednesday to this Wednesday, and a short summary of your week. Sometimes we get lost in the day to day ups and downs and it's good to see our week over week changes. Time to celebrate losses and lift each other up during possible failures. This is not a timed event or contest, feel free to jump in any time. This post was made a staple of r/loseit by u/Kahne_Fan and our thanks goes to him for providing a service that so many find helpful. [link] [comments] |
| How to be patient when trying to lose weight? Posted: 18 May 2021 10:58 PM PDT I work 8-5, 6 days a week and generally have very low motivation to work out after I get home / on my day off. The most I could do is go for a walk after I arrive home and eat relatively healthy (no snacking, no liquid calories etc.) I can't go to the gym, cant go running. I think this slows down my progress a lot. Just too tired (maybe related to mental condition). Also videos on youtube bores me to death. I'm still in BMI but I have a skinny body but fat hips and thighs, I can't wear anything nice without being seen as sexual. How do I remain patient when I cut out my favorite foods (eg sugary iced coffee) while seeing no progress? Its been a month now Edit: should also mention that I used to exercise consistently even during the pandemic( weight training, HIIT etc.), then fell off the wagon due to mental illness. Im not that fat but Im not as strong as I used to be. [link] [comments] |
| Saw photos of myself from my first exercise class on Monday and now I’m crying at work Posted: 19 May 2021 01:02 AM PDT I look huge, I'm actually horrified with myself. I don't have a huge amount to lose, maybe 28lbs and I've already lost 18lbs (was 23 but I put 5lbs back on cus I fell off the wagon). I've started going to pole dance classes as I used to do this 3 years ago and got really fit, but the instructor takes photos of everyone and I'm so depressed now I've seen how I look. I look ridiculous. I can't seem to get back into eating healthy either so it all just seems pointless. I do so good during the day too but as soon as I get home I just order takeaways. Can anyone give me some advice or just kind words to get me out of this slump? It's made me feel so depressed and embarrassed. I'm supposed to go back to class tomorrow and Sunday but now I'm dreaded it knowing how I look compared to the other girls. [link] [comments] |
| The pandemic killed my progress Posted: 18 May 2021 11:51 AM PDT Hey everyone :) I am doing this post for accountability mostly since today was my official first day (for the second time). I am 23F, 5ft7 and weight, as of today 203lbs. This is a new development - just before the pandemic hit I was almost down to my healthy BMI and going to the gym four days a week, counting calories and doing dance classes. And then the pandemic hit. My grandma passed away. My parents got sick. University was somehow more stressful than ever. The cherry on top was when I myself got the virus. Two weeks in bed and many more afterwards spent recovering basically killed my still existing muscles. I don't want to be dramatic but this pandemic absolutely crushed me and took away all my healthy coping mechanisms. I noticed my clothes fitting badly but I brushed it aside since I wasn't going anywhere anyways. My binging got progressively worse though the more stressed out I was and since gyms are still closed where I live, I just gained.so.much. Almost 40lbs in a year! I have done this before so I know if I eat right and move more it will be okay. I know it is absolutely doable and yet it still feels very overwhelming to me. My strategy is to start with eating and focus on getting enough protein within my calories while trying to slowly figure out exercising with no prospects of the gyms opening up. My stamina is horrible after the virus anyways but hey, any progress is good, right? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2021 10:35 PM PDT I have been going back and forth in my mind whether coffee helps or hurts me lose weight. I haven't been able to lose any weight in the past 4 years. When I have lost weight in the past, I quit drinking coffee cold turkey. I dont know if that was just a coincidence or what. My gut tells me that its not helpful for losing weight. I think it releases cortisol into my bloodstream and my body cant get out of that constant fight or flight state while I have it in my life on a constant bases. But I cant tell if Im just giving it more power in my head and its really just that Im not eating well enough. What are your guys' experiences with coffee and losing weight? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2021 05:02 PM PDT My husband and I have been having problems relating to sex and appearance due to his porn addiction, it has been very hard on me and losing weight was for me but felt wrong. My husband starting becoming worried and insecure about my weight loss and worried about me losing weight that he unintentionally would self sabotage around me. He would invite me to eat out buy fast food or junk, food was a big part of our bonding, my life style change was starting to hurt our relationship more. I had decided to stop and focus on trying to lessen his worries and be supportive so he understood that I want to make him comfortable, this led to a lot of talking a lot of crazy fights about body image and problems we have dealt with for years. The end result was he now is joining me on this journey and life change and I am so proud of him. He is counting calories, exercising (even if he does not want too), and he is pushing himself to be better and healthy. I am so happy, we have been doing this for 4 days now and I am successfully and swiftly dropping, he is too. I just wanted to share this because I am so proud of my new journey partner and am excited to know I have already lost 4lbs, I feel like this is the support and lift I needed and encourages me to push harder!!! :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 18 May 2021 05:45 PM PDT 30/5'4''/F. I was at such a healthy weight before pregnancy, but I really ballooned up towards the end. Now it's been 1.5 years and I am at 170 lbs. I feel awful, I have trouble breathing, and I just found out today I have a heart issue. Losing weight probably won't really change the heart thing, but I want to try. I want to do everything I can to be here with my kid. And being overweight like this is not the way to do. I also want her having a positive relationship with food unlike me. So starting tomorrow I am doing I.F. and uping my water intake. Instead of drinking my two coffees in the morning, I will drink water, then a coffee, then more water. I am also going to pick up working out at least 3 days a week. I downloaded FitOn and did a really good workout yesterday. I'm just typing this out in hopes that in 1, month, 2 months, 3 months, etc. I can come back and say "wow look how far I've come." Anyway, thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions to help me along, I'd love to hear them. My biggest problem is that I always binge on bad food. I go all day saying I do not need it, and then nighttime hits and I go NUTS. I just can't seem to stop myself. I have no self control. [link] [comments] |
| Do you feel obligated to mention your lose skin before having sex with a new partner? Posted: 18 May 2021 03:22 AM PDT So, I (29, F) lost about 160 lbs from 2019 to 2020 and well, as a result I have a lot of loose skin. Pretty much all over my body, aside from my face, neck, hands, feet, calves and forearms. I have a date tonight and while I haven't hidden my weightloss (I literally had a before and after on my profile) should I feel obligated to tell him about my skin? Ultimately, shouldn't this kind of stuff be secondary? I mean it's who I am... He will either accept it or he won't. I find the notion that I basically have to apologise for the way I look or warn people about it after I put so much work in a bit grotesque. No one is perfect. The reason I haven't mentioned it is because we haven't really talked about my weightloss and it simply hasn't come up. But what do you guys think? Mention it or just own it and see what happens? Update: It went well and there were absolutely no issues with my skin or anything else! So, maybe we should all worry a bit less and try to embrace our flaws. :) [link] [comments] |
| lost weight, gained it back, and trying to lose again Posted: 18 May 2021 07:50 PM PDT hi all i'm a 20F, 5'1" around last summer i started at 147 lbs and decided i wanted to lose the weight i gained from starting college. over the course of 2 months i lost 9 lbs through over exercising and calorie counting, some days eating less than 1100. this came back to bite me in the ass when classes started and i was swamped with work so i stopped working out and turned to binge eating to deal with the stress. now a year after i weigh 150 lbs, 3 lbs heavier than when i started. i'm trying to lose the weight/body fat but in a healthier and more sustainable way but i find myself gravitating towards what i did last time especially when that's the only time i've seen results. does anyone have any tips for maintaining patience but also ensuring that progress is being made?
