| Loseit saved my life 5 years ago, now I’m 100+lbs heavier and have hit rock bottom... again Posted: 08 May 2021 04:55 PM PDT About 5 years ago I hit rock bottom, and found this sub. I learned so much, used MFP to calorie count religiously and I went from 240 to 160lbs. It really sorted my life out and my confidence out - I got a new job I loved, started a PhD and got a boyfriend I'm now living with. However, I got complacent. I was happy and took my eye off the ball. Then the stress of the PhD derailed me, I moved across the country and lost my support network and then covid hit. I've gradually been putting the weight back on, but this weekend I got on the scales for the first time in a long time and realised I'm close to 300lb. I feel like I'm at rock bottom all over again. My confidence has been eroded and I'm dreading having to go into public life again after spending 18 months as what I can only describe as an expanding hermit. I'm here because this is sub was what did it for me before, and I have to face facts that I desperately need it again. MFP has been redownloded and I'm really hoping I can do it all over again, as daunting as it feels. Thanks for listening! [link] [comments] |
| How to kick a soda addiction, from a pre-addict. Posted: 08 May 2021 11:36 AM PDT I want to preface this by saying I've been an avid soda drinker since I was a kid. I LOVE Coca Cola, so much so it should be a sin. No amount of calorie crunching or label reading could inhibit something I felt I owed to myself. Even in my 2018 weight loss journey I involved soda! Before my March decision to cut soda, I was drinking maybe 2 cans a day. 3 on weekends. After regaining the weight and adding on a lot more due to a mix of stress eating and extenuating factor, back in March I decided to work on a foundational overhaul. Soda was definitely an aspect I needed to change. I personally decided to go cold turkey, out of sight out of mind. Can't recommend this enough! I actually felt pretty grumpy when making this change, but the pounds honestly began dropping within the first week. When I'd get cravings, I purchased soda water. It offers the bubbly sensation+ flavor combination if you drop in a lemon wedge (not to mention good for flushing out your system in the morning!) Today, I've lost 23 pounds in 2 months and I feel highly inclined to keep going. The soda water definitely facilitated this process and basically discounted the 150-300 daily liquid calories I had come to accept. I had a coke the other day after a grueling exam.. and I hated it. I didn't get it, the sugar was a bit too much for me. Every now and again I'll get the craving and remember the reality is pretty meh! I just purchased my first soda machine as I was basically spending 15/week on it. It works like a charm and definitely gives you a quick fill while minimizing bottle usage and spending! I hope this gives everyone a little boost! You guys offer me so much that a little potential tip is the least I could do. [link] [comments] |
| I started drinking my calories, and now I don't know how to stop. Posted: 08 May 2021 05:29 AM PDT Ugh. I used to be really vigilant about drinking- for my weight loss goals, I had stopped drinking alcohol and beverages outside of seltzer and milk for my cereal. Never liked soda, really tried to avoid things with added sugar. Then when I was moving, a friend gave me a coconut water and I was really pleased, so I bought more. A few in the fridge turned into a case at a time, especially during quarantine. I would find that it made it so much easier to stay hydrated and was bolstered by cursory research that suggested that it was not only good, it was *good for me*. I am probably 200-600 calories a day over my caloric threshold as a result. I stopped counting calories per my doctor's recommendation (past ED) but am so embarrassed every time I have a coconut water. I've never really had trigger foods or drinks before that have made me feel like this, but I feel embarrassed and frustrated with myself. How do I stop? [link] [comments] |
| I finally reached my desired weight! Posted: 08 May 2021 06:08 PM PDT Today when I was standing in a weighting scale.The number made me smile.(been a while since the last time I checked.) And I'm so happy. Also I noticed something weird😆. When I saw my weight on the scale, I started feeling hungry even tho I felt completely full before that;weird huh? I guess it was all mental.So I came home and I had a nice dinner. My crooked body image is gone now. I feel so pretty. I tried to be more active.I did cardio at home and I did intermittent fasting. Fasting wasn't much of a challenge for me because I didn't have any appetite anyways. I've lost 4kg. It's not much but I've worked for it. I wish ya'll luck on your weight loss journey.❤🖐 [link] [comments] |
| A strategy that works (for me and maybe you) Posted: 08 May 2021 09:00 AM PDT Update: I've continued to only focus on my monthly average weight and to strive to endure that my daily weight is at or below that. I track my daily weight which fluctuates up (or down) up to nine pounds. This has enabled me to steadily lose ten pounds since starting this technique in January. What it mainly helps with is not getting obsessed with my daily weight, and it shows me how long it actually takes to lose actual fat and not just water. So... While I'm only down ten pounds in almost five months, I'm confident that it's fat and not just water as my clothes are fitting better and average weight is down ten for month. At this rate, it's going to take over a year to lose the rest of the fat that I want to shed, And in ok with that. . [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 May 2021 10:24 AM PDT EDIT: if you're just going to respond with "just deal with the hunger" then please do me a favor and don't bother responding. It's not helpful Hello everyone. I've been trying to do what I can to lose some weight. But I have a personal problem with it. My issue is that I'm hungry. All the time. Like, I could eat a double serving at every meal and still feel like I'm starving 20 minutes after and haven't eaten in a week. I've tried in taking more fiber, more protein, more water, but none of it seems to alleviate the immediate hunger at all. And I don't know if it's a metabolism thing, because I can eat a ton and not really gain that much. I Seriously do want to try to start losing, but I absolutely hate that empty feeling of being hungry, and it certainly doesn't help when I'm trying to exercise on that feeling. Does anyone have any tips on what I could try to do? I would really appreciate any feedback. [link] [comments] |
| Favorite tech that has helped your weight loss? Posted: 08 May 2021 09:06 AM PDT I'm a huge fan of tech and gadgets! What are some devices that have helped your journey? Here are some of my favs:
I think one lesson I learned is to notice where there are mental snags, and see how you can set up your routine / devices / environment to help. Like in the past, I would get tired of the work of logging everything when cooking a meal. But now that I can weigh everything, it takes off some of that mental load of having to guesstimate things. Or I had trouble getting motivated to do the prep work of exercise (getting changed, commuting to a gym, coming back gross, all the time spent). But now that I can quickly pop into a game at home, those mental barriers are lower. Some of these things I already had, but others were purchases every few months during the pandemic to try and make this fully at-home life a little more engaging. Curious to hear what gadgets you all have discovered! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 May 2021 01:34 PM PDT After losing around 70lbs a few years ago, I let my weight fluctuate maybe ~25lbs over this past year and a half. I started making more of a concentrated effort to get back to it in March because I could tell my clothes were fitting tighter and I didn't feel good overall. I didn't weigh myself at the beginning, but I would estimate I was in the high 180s or maybe even in the 190s. I cut back on portions and focused on cardio and a bit of weight training. My clothes have been fitting better and I feel stronger overall. Lately, I've been feeling bloated and overindulging on the munchies (thanks Canada for legalization) but today I randomly felt like I wanted to weigh myself. My GW has always been 160 and my lowest ever was 169 in Feb 2018, before I took a break. I was hoping to be between 170-175. I stepped on the scale and... 163.2. That's the lowest ever in my adult life, down even from a teenage average of around 180. It's partly distracting myself from pandemic stress with exercise and partly just eating fewer bagels, I think. I struggle with some disordered behaviours and binging sometimes but I have a therapy appointment next week to finally start sorting through some mental shit now that I physically feel a bit better. Life has really been fucking me raw but updating my flair today felt good lolol [link] [comments] |
| Weight loss is about so much more than looks Posted: 08 May 2021 04:50 AM PDT All my life, I've been overweight. The only reason I've ever wanted to lose weight was for looks, and I've yoyoed more times than I can count. Then, the panini started and no one was gonna see me anyway. So, I've went from overweight to obese. My neck got fcked to the point I may have to get surgery. I got high blood pressure. And who knows what else awaits if I remain obese. Suddenly, weight loss isn't about looks. It's about survival. As this reality sinks in, I'm finding it difficult to be motivated and lose. Before, it was the carrot: a dress or a man or an event. Now it's the stick. I'll pull through cause I have to, but I wanted to share this story so that anyone who struggles to stay steady on their journey can get a fair warning: it's drop the pounds or move into the doctors. Looks have nothing to do with it. [link] [comments] |
| What is the best way of talking about the surgical risks of obesity Posted: 08 May 2021 09:13 PM PDT Hey r/loseit, I am here to ask for advice. I am a medical professional, and a common task in my job is to discuss a procedure with a patient, explaining what it involves and the potential risks. One of the statistically proven factors (amongst many) that affects these risks is weight / BMI, and I am legally obliged to talk about this, at least briefly, as part of the process. I would like some guidance as to the best way to do this. Now, some quick background - I have previously been obese myself, I strongly oppose all discrimination against anyone for any reason including their weight, and I believe that it is possible to be healthy at any weight. I am not spending very much time on weight in the consult - it is just one small part of the overall conversation - and I am obviously not shaming patients, nor do I advise them to lose weight (I am usually meeting people within a week of the planned operation). Lots of us (including myself) have had negative experiences with medical professionals when they talk about our weight, particularly when it seems unrelated to the reason for the consult. I unfortunately don't have an option here, it is a legal requirement to discuss the risks and anything that alters a patient's level of risk - their medical conditions, age, exercise ability, if they smoke, what procedure they are having, etc. etc., and weight is one of these factors. I am looking for the least harmful way to conduct this part of the discussion. I have tried mentioning it briefly and saying it increases the risks before moving on, and I have also gone into more detail, saying that an elevated weight / BMI does raise the risk profile but it is one of many factors, and that I am making no judgement, and so forth. My problem is that I don't know what approach is best here - it is not like I can ask my patients. I am asking reddit for help, and in particular I am hoping to hear from people who, as patients, have had positive interactions with medical professionals and what made the interaction good, as well as from other medical professionals who have found an approach that works well for them. Obviously feel free to share whatever opinions and stories that you would like, but I am well aware of the basic (and quite awful) things that are said to patients sometimes - shame, blame, criticism, bad advice about dieting, focussing on BMI / weight above the main issue of the consult, not treating with respect and kindness - and I think I am already avoiding these.

| Time to take another crack at this. Posted: 08 May 2021 10:43 PM PDT After ballooning up to 270 a few years ago, I got down to 225 and have stayed around that weight for several years now. (6'1" male, 33yrs old). Somehow during this pandemic I've managed to still maintain, though its slowly creeping back up. One love of mine pre-pandemic was powerlifting. I used to be quite fit and very strong before I "took a break" from lifting. Today I bit the bullet and ordered myself a compact squat rack, and some plates. For the first time in along time I feel optimistic that I can get lean and strong again, and I'm so excited! Hopefully I'll have some positive updates to share in the following months. Wish me luck.

| Posted: 08 May 2021 04:36 PM PDT So last year, during the first lockdown I was so motivated. I ate well, followed an at-home routine and went from 154lbs to 144lbs. I was delighted. It was the last leg of a 5 year long weight loss journey that started at 185lbs. (F25 5'4' btw). Then I went back to work and college, had no time for exercise. Got stressed. Are crap. Christmas. Starting hormonal birth control. More stress. 13 hour work days. An ADHD diagnosis and I'm back where I started last year at 154lbs. I feel terrible. My lovely muscle mass is gone and my tummy looks softer and bloatier. My digestion sucks, I'm tired all the time and not happy. Tomorrow I take back out the calorie counter, and try really hard. I have been trying but the compulsive overeating has just destroyed any attempt to stick to my 1500 to 1700kcals. I return to my team sport on Monday and I'm so embarrassed at how out of shape I am. But tomorrow I'm starting to build a habit of a 7 minute workout. Then, once I'm back in the swing of things, 1 day of hiit, then 2, eventually 3. I've been trying to do this all year and it's been so hard. I'm not medicated for my ADHD yet which is due to some admin issues in my doctor's. I don't know when I'll be getting them. I feel like Sisyphus rolling the boulder up the hill, but I want this more than anything. So tomorrow I try again, r/loseit, and I need someone to keep me accountable. [link] [comments] |
| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Sunday, 09 May 2021? Start here! Posted: 08 May 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.

| This Feels Impossible... Help! Posted: 08 May 2021 07:27 PM PDT Female, 26, living in Canada. Currently at 240, want to get down to 140, 5'3. How the hell do I lose weight? I somehow lost 20 pounds over a year and a half of constant work, but that was pre-covid and now I've put it all back on despite trying to not eat more than I need. Half my plate is vegetables at every meal, and I do 16:8 intermittent fasting because that's how I ate as a skinny teenager. I don't drink my calories, and am drinking something like 2-3L of water a day at a sedentary job. Was doing roughly 45 minutes of cardio a day, but that's currently packed because we just finished moving. I can't count calories without ending up with super disordered eating habits. Like "denying myself all food the next day because I went 20 calories over my limit for the day", and trending into actual self harm. I also have issues with food - most of the lower calorie "replacements" are either really bitter tasting or have a texture that causes involuntary gagging (looking at you, beans). Can't do keto, it ends in suicidal ideation. I have the appetite of an active 6'4 man despite being none of those things. I'm literally constantly thinking about food. I can be so full my stomach hurts, and still want to eat more. No thyroid issues, no hormonal issues, doctor says I just need more willpower. Not sure how I acquire that. This is mostly rambling, but I have no idea what to do. Clearly my best effort isn't working here, because otherwise I'd be skinny by now. [link] [comments] |
| Why do I feel the need to eat lunch earlier in the days I don't exercise? Posted: 09 May 2021 02:12 AM PDT Hello everyone, I recently (February) started exercising more and dieting a bit and I noticed something strange. I usually wake up around 8 and eat breakfast around 9. The vast majority of time I eat for breakfast one of the following chicken breast ham sandwich, 2 egg omelets with tomatoes, canned tuna or french toast. After breakfast, at around 10:30, I do about 1.5 hours of exercising (home gym/body weights) and then go for a 30 minutes run, 3-4 times a week. In the days that I do this I feel the need to eat lunch around 14:00 or even 14:30. The weird thing is that in the days that I don't exercise and I work on the computer in the morning I feel the need to eat lunch as early as 12:30-13:00, I even get dizzy and headaches if I don't eat early. I am not that knowledgeable about nutrition and stuff so this is why I thought I should ask here. Why do I feel the need to eat earlier in the days I don't exercise shouldn't it be the other way around? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 08 May 2021 08:12 PM PDT I'm a 16 year old girl and have had issues with food my whole life due to a very strict father but over the past year my binge eating has gotten out of hand. I thought I was getting it under control but now I really can't stop. It's not every day but it's multiple days out of the week and I don't know what to do. I've tried everything. Drink water. Eat breakfast. Don't restrict. I've tried so hard and nothing is working. I try to understand what my triggers are but I just can't seem to. As a teenage girl it's really hard to be my size right now and I'm trying to change. I've tried losing weight in an unhealthy way and now I'm just barely losing 1 pound a week. So far I've lost about 16 pounds but I really need to get my binges under control or I'll balloon up again. Sorry this has been kind of a long rant lol. But does anyone have advice for me? I could really use it right now :/ [link] [comments] |
| Losing weight in 3 months (bariatric patient getting ready for skin removal surgery) Posted: 08 May 2021 10:12 PM PDT I'm 5 years post op from a gastric sleeve surgery and have lost 150 lbs. With consistent exercise and diet I have not only improved my fitness but also continued my fat loss. I have chosen to get elective surgery in July to remove some excess skin but in the past month I have put on 16 lbs(6 of it being muscle). I use the real touch body scale to determine bodyfat and muscle mass. It shows +16 lbs and even though some of that is muscle it has me freaked out. There were a few factors to this weight gain to consider. I was taking a weight gaining anti depressant called Remeron which raised my appetite like crazy. I started eating a bunch of protein bars including the pure protein and built bars. I also had horrible sleep due to vitamin D deficiency. I started taking Vitamin D in the morning (I was dumb and initially took it at night), a multivitamin in the morning and magnesium at bed. I am concerned about not losing enough weight or possibly even gaining too much weight before my belt lipectomy surgery in July. Should I do a pouch reset(do those even work)? Am I overreacting? I'm still going to the gym 3 times a week and I can finally feel my body somewhat returning to normal. I felt like I was getting so weak and tired. I kept feeling sleepy during every workout. Advice would be appreciated. I'm really stoked for the surgery and think I should probably be as lean as possible beforehand. I'm not totally familiar with how my state should be before a belt lipectomy. [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 8 Posted: 08 May 2021 02:41 PM PDT Hello losers, I hope you're out there rocking and rolling! Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & report here even if I don't like it: 246.2 this morning. Just a number. Even when I dislike the number. The scale is a tool. Not a moral judgement. Stay within calorie range (1500-1800): On target today, going to have some Italian sausage for dinner. 4/6 days. Exercise 5 days a week: Long walk to the dog park & then digging a hole through an old root system to plant a tree. It involved a lot of axing. 6/8 days. Self-care acts/alone time & ten deep breath cycles a day: Check mark on the breathing. Alone time during my walk. Self care is some time off & time spent doing whatever I wanna. Try a new recipe once a week: Pan fried mahi mahi. Going to do up some pork jowl either tonight or tomorrow. 1/4 weeks. Write 1500 words a day 6 days a week: I'm considering restructuring this goal. I think I'm missing something about making this effective for what I want it to be. I am writing but it's not getting me where I want to go exactly. Do a mindfulness exercise: Had to be very present & checked into my senses whilst axing. Gratitude list: Today I'm grateful for the shower I will have in a bit & how glorious it will be post yard work. Ahhhh. Your turn kids, how's it going? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 08 May 2021 07:22 PM PDT Ok, so most of you guys are facing the approach of summer, but I live in the southern hemisphere and it's been getting quite chilly. I would love some help with some challenges I'm facing: 1) I get extra hungry when it's cold. How do you guys deal with that? 2) Because of COVID, the gym has to keep all windows and doors open, so right in the middle of exercising I can feel my muscles getting cold again and I'm worried I might injure myself. Any tips on how to deal with that? 3) Also (a minor problem) any meal suggestions? I hate eating cold stuff like salads and smoothies in the midst of winter (house heating systems are not a thing here) and they were both staples for lunch and breakfast (respectively) during warmer months...

| 65 lbs down, but can't crack into the 70's Posted: 08 May 2021 12:43 PM PDT My starting weight after the gyms opened up was 320 and I'm at 264 now. I thought the gyms were going to stay open later in my state. But the ones in my immediate area have chosen not to. I've been doing CICO, hitting the weights hard, and inclined walking. Ever since I recovered some of the muscle that I lost a few months ago, I've been pushing myself hard with the weight lifting. My issue is that I'm used to the weight falling off of me, but things are slowing down now that I've decided not to cut back my time lifting. What are some good alternatives for me to do at home? I was thinking about dancing/ Zumba to burn some more calories due to me being unable to do bridges and squats due to cramps. I was down because I was looking forward to being able to do more cardio, but I have accepted that might not be an option for me until June or July. [link] [comments] |
