| Posted: 10 May 2021 02:41 PM PDT I love it. It bounces like a rope everywhere I go. That did not happen when I was fat. I've developed more self confidence as a result because I always feel it in my pants. I walk with my chest out like Superman and I get so many looks from women for the first time in my life. I didn't know I of all people, a former fat nerd, was capable of this kind of swagger. Weight loss might be one of the best things to ever happen to me. Guys, if you need to lose weight for any reason at the very least do it for your dong. You won't regret it. There's the obvious things like your gut, but I didn't realize losing weight would impact that of all things. According to research, for every 30-50 pounds lost, you gain an inch in penis lost under previous pubic fat. If you're on the fence on losing weight and a guy start right now. Your health, and penis, will thank you. You'll reveal what you already have and I bet you'll be surprised at the results, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose like I did. By the way, I'm not even close to finishing my weight goals which makes this even better. [link] [comments] |
| For the 1st time, I understand the body image issue that women face—-Words have meaning Posted: 10 May 2021 07:22 AM PDT Just a little background for context. 43yr old male that lost 120lbs after hitting the 300 mark. It took a year and it was nothing but sacrifice and dedication. I took no cheat days/meals and didn't have a sip of alcohol so holidays, parties, etc. were difficult at first but I did it. I've kept the weight off for 3 years and have been fasting a bit before Summer and headed to Miami last week for work. It was a stressful 4 days and we worked all day and were expected to hang out and wine & dine clients which turned into 4 nights of partying until 3am or so just to be back at 7am—wash, rinse, and repeat. Friday was over at noon and my flight wasn't until 10pm so I got to relax by the pool for a few hours and enjoy myself. I bumped into some others that I had gotten to know throughout the week and was asked to join them. I took off my shirt to put on some sunscreen and a girl poked my stomach and said "Watch out! looks like you're starting get a little tummy". She was kidding and just busting balls and any other day I don't think it would've bothered me, but I was tired and emotional and that one little comment reduced me to a child. I had to leave so I didn't break down in front of hundreds of people at the pool. All of my hard work and sacrifices were nullified and I was ashamed. Even at 300 I never cared what people said. I was happy and comfortable with who and what I was but at 180 to hear that just took the wind out of my sails and I have questioned every bite taken and every calorie I've consumed since then. I'm rested now and back to normal, but I now understand the pressure people (especially women) face with unrealistic body standards and the effect that little comments can have. She really was kidding and she was not being mean by any means but I hear moms, and friends, and P.O.S. boyfriends/husbands/S.O. all make little snide comments and I now understand why and how eating disorders are developed. I guess my point is: Words have meaning and you never know what someone is going through. I love the support from this group and you are all wonderful people but we can all be kinder. If you are the one who is on the receiving end of a comment. I hope you can be comfortable with who you are and use each of us as a support system. If you are done with your journey or just starting or anywhere in between, I'm proud of you. Make progress on your own terms and find all of the happiness that you deserve. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 07:07 PM PDT Bought a bunch of healthy food at the grocery store. Then... I stopped at McDonald's and ordered 3 McChickens, a large spite, and large fries. I was so pissed at myself. Spent the next few hours doing alot of negative self-talk. Shaming myself for undoing yesterday's workout. Then I said nope, I got this. I put on my running gear and jogged for 10 minutes. No, that doesn't change the fact that I stopped at McDonald's or that I went over my calories for the day. But, it did allow me to show myself some grace, remember I'm in control, and build positive momentum for tomorrow. Don't let a bad decision turn into a bad day. Keep pushing, we got this!

| Posted: 10 May 2021 10:25 AM PDT I've increased my walking to about 3 miles a day, I've missed some days and don't beat myself up when I do. I eat clean food and when I don't, I have a fast food burger I don't beat myself up either. It's a choice and I made that choice. Today I went into a store and slid on a pair of 18 jeans, not stretchy jeans, a solid 18! A month ago I couldn't button an 18. I got them on but my stomach wouldn't allow them to button. Today I did! I even ordered another pair and can't wait to wear them till they fall off! I was a size 30-32! This is so amazing for me and I know my walking and food have been the only reason it's come off so easily. Don't beat yourself up for your choices, don't do what everyone else is doing. Just do what you need to do to feel better about yourself. You go this! No one can do it but YOU!! 💗💗😉 [link] [comments] |
| Watching my 600 lb life and something that was said really resonated with me.. Posted: 10 May 2021 09:51 AM PDT I'm watching Dottie's story and she said something that really fucking hit home. "Food is an addiction. It's the worst addiction to have, because you need food everyday to live. You have to have it." And she's damn right. Maybe it's not the worst (or maybe it is? more people die of heart failure in the USA than ANYTHING) but it's pretty fucking bad. It can and will kill you slowly, but you can't quit cold turkey like drugs or alcohol and not buy it or you'll also die. Just like drugs and alcohol, the feeling of binging can be super euphoric and make you not care that you're killing yourself. You are exposed to your addiction every single day. You have no choice but to somehow completely break down and re-wire your brain to not be obsessed with the bliss that is binging while consuming your drug of choice everyday. And the fact that we are animals whose fundamental instincts are survive, food, water, we have an innate urge to eat more than we need. It's sad because I've seen several comments from members here who are years, at times DECADES into losing weight and trying to have a healthy relationship with food who say they still basically feel the exact same way about food as they did before. They still want to binge. They still want to eat whatever, whenever, in huge amounts all the time. They still feel euphoric when they get the chance to go all out. And it's shitty having to force these urges and desires down for the rest of your life in order to stay at a healthy weight. A lot of people don't realize that food can be an addiction. We would all LOVE to put the damn fork down for our dream body. But it's an addiction like any other drug. [link] [comments] |
| I have gone from 35.44% fat to 29.62% fat this year. Posted: 10 May 2021 11:03 AM PDT My weight loss journey this year has not seen a overall reduction in body weight. So for me I am currently ignoring BMI (which if the math is still the same, doesn't account for muscle mass). Getting to be near a weight loss of 5 lbs has been hard. As I continue to do a regular exercise schedule, daily, I began to focus on my muscle mass and body fat. Today my body fat is at 29.62% from 35.44% on January 1st. This is a 16.42% decrease of fat for the year. My muscle mass has steadily increased by 7.9 lbs. Even though my weight is not anywhere near my ideal number, I am learning to see the positive changes elsewhere. EDIT Just to clarify, the 16.42% I got was calculating the percentage decrease between two percentages. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 May 2021 12:46 AM PDT I've finally reached my goal weight of 60kg after years of trying and failing, and I thought I'd share the progress and what finally made a difference. I started at around 73 kilos, so I didn't have that much extra weight but still enough to make me want to get rid of it. I've always been very impatient, so I wanted to lose it fast. I'd reduce my calories to 1200 or 1300, try super low cal diets or fasting. None of it worked, because I realised that I couldn't keep eating like that for more than a few days, I always ended up binging and going back to my old habits. That went on for years, starting and then quitting again, I thought that it's just impossible for me to lose weight because I haven't got the self discipline for it. This time, I wanted to give it one last try, but I knew I had to do something differently. I started by increasing my calorie intake, 1200 was way too low for me to keep up so I adjusted it to something between 1450-1600. I kept exercising as before, all that I really changed was the calorie amount and ditching all specific diets. First couple of months were slow, I'd lose maybe half a kilo and then gain it back in a week. But after two months, my weight began going down, slow and steady. That's when I realised that slow weight loss was the key to success. As my weight went down, I learned the proper amounts I should eat and got used to eating healthy and not binging. I didn't cut out anything completely, because I realised that I don't want to. I still want to be able to eat chocolate every once in a while even after I'd lost the extra kilos. So, I built a normal diet, only with smaller (but not too small) portions, and it didn't even feel like I was losing weight in the end. So in the end, the slow process (took me around 8 months in all) was the best option, because now maintaining my goal weight feels easy and effortless. I know I had never got here if I would've stuck with trying to eat 1200 calories or trying all special diets. I'm sure they will work for some, but my suggestion is to start the weight loss by thinking how you're going to maintain your goal weight. A lifelong, easy-to-maintain change for healthier habits is always better than short span diets. [link] [comments] |
| It’s surprising to me still that binging actually doesn’t feel good Posted: 10 May 2021 08:54 AM PDT Stats first I guess: 29F 5'6" HW 177 CW 132 So I went crazy yesterday, for the first time in... a while. I hosted my mom and grandma for Mother's Day brunch and family stuff always gives me hella stress (trigger), I served a ton of super carby food (trigger) because brunch duh, along with mimomas aka alcohol (trigger), and told myself ahead of time I just wouldn't bother tracking (in retrospect, a bad idea) and would just eat light for dinner. I went crazy as soon as people were gone. I drank a bottle of Prosecco to myself, polished off the leftover little pastries and sandwiches, ate a pint of halo top, made another sandwich, glazed walnut, crackers, just... you know. And absolutely none of it was fun or felt good. My stomach has really shrank so by the time my family left my stomach was already FULL, and that was just a normal big meal. The entire time I was binging, my stomach hurt so bad. The alcohol (and I used to be a near daily drinker, I've barely touched it since starting to lose) didn't make me feel good or happy at all, literally just sick. I kept thinking "I am not enjoying this, this does not feel good, I feel so much better when this isn't happening". The entire afternoon and evening sucked. The binge is definitely not continuing today, it's over. It's just strange getting reminded of how it's not just that the long term effects of binging aka being fat sucks, it's that binging itself sucks. It brings me zero joy. Committing to a healthy lifestyle does not mean giving up a beloved pastime. It means finally ending a miserable compulsion. What a relief. [link] [comments] |
| Hit 25 pound weightloss today! Posted: 10 May 2021 04:12 PM PDT I usually weigh myself once a week on my smart scale and this morning when I weighed myself I hit the 25 pound weightloss mark and it felt incredible! Knowing that my hard work had paid off feels euphoric. I still have another 50 pounds to lose to meet my goal weight but seeing that this morning really gave me another boost of energy and determination. Also highly recommend a smart scale! It tells you so much more than just a number, you can see your BMI, muscle mass, fat percentage and more. It motivates me because I can see the weight I'm losing is fat instead of having a regular scale and guessing. Keep grinding and working towards your goals, only let positive people in your corner and remember it's okay to have shitty days where maybe you don't meet your goals. You're human, and you're trying. Reading everyone's stories inspires me, keep it up 💪 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 12:18 PM PDT I'm 23 and I'm tired of always being the fattest. I'm 5'7" and nearly 250 pounds. My first major goal is 200, but this bad habit keeps getting in my way. It's what my parents taught me, they used to hate hearing me say I was hungry, so they taught me to eat so I don't get hungry. Now, in adulthood, I'm counting calories but still eating when I'm not hungry. The problem is, I almost always end up overeating because I eventually so end up hungry. Yesterday for instance, I used up all my calories by 2pm and became painfully hungry at 8/9pm. And ended up going waayyyy over because I didn't want to be too hungry in the morning. It's a vicious cycle. Please help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 01:34 PM PDT As I was getting home from work, my landlady stopped me to ask how the gym was going, how many times a week I was going, etc. Then she said, "You were wearing these white pants the other day. You looked like the Pillsbury dough boy. They were very unattractive." I just made an excuse and walked away. Like - she knows I am trying to lose weight, why kick me when I'm down? I'm not a person who takes shit from anybody, but that just caught me so off-guard. Also I don't own white pants!! I've also been large, but I have NEVER gotten a comment like that from anyone (besides my mother and that's another can of worms). How do you guys deal with comments like that? I'm upset but I'm going to go eat my calorie-counted meal and kick ass at the gym tonight. F - 5'2" - SW 165 - CW 164 [link] [comments] |
| Body dysmorphia during weight loss Posted: 10 May 2021 11:26 PM PDT In a year I lost some weight. My family kept telling me how much smaller I was and how different I looked. I just didn't see it. My measurements shrank significantly, but I just couldn't see it. I hit one year the second week of February and decided to finally wear an outfit I hadn't worn since I was at my heaviest weight, it was one of few I had a picture of at my heaviest too. I remember being terrified to put the pants on and telling myself they'd probably still be a bit fitted, but that's okay. You worked hard this past year and it's paid off, even though you're not that much smaller. I pulled them on, they were loose. I sobbed briefly. I put the top on and looked at myself in the mirror. The change was drastic. Even though I looked at myself every single day I suddenly couldn't recognize myself or my body. It was jarring and I cried for several minutes. I was scared and confused. I loved my body at my heaviest and still loved it. I didn't think I looked bad, I just couldn't process what I was seeing. I took pictures, changed clothes, looked at the pictures and told myself "it's just camera tricks, I'll look normal again tomorrow.." which makes no fucking sense. No one in my life really gets how upsetting that experience was, so I guess I just wanted to vent. I'm still losing weight. I'm proud of myself. That experience was just.. so very unpleasant.

| One of my favorite parts of going to the gym is seeing other people's transformations Posted: 10 May 2021 05:21 PM PDT It's been a little over three years since I began my journey of weightloss and health. I lost 120lbs in the first year, and the last couple I've focused on building muscle and building the body I want. I spend 4-5 days a week in the gym, and have since I began my journey. At first all I cared about was my own transformation. To be honest when I first started going to the gym I was a but self conscious about what people thought about a fat guy in the gym. So I would go really late at night to avoid seeing too many people. Over the last year I've really started to notice other people's transformations at my gym, and it's absolutely amazing and inspiring. There are several people who I have seen make remarkable transformations, and I just can't believe it. I just wanted to share this. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Hit my heaviest. Next week I start. Posted: 10 May 2021 06:11 PM PDT Hey. I'm a 19yo college student about to finish my sophomore year. Today I was procrastinating studying, as one does, and finally decided to replace the batteries in my scale. I haven't used it in about a year when I tried to lose weight last. I'm about 5'9" and when I first tried to lose weight I was at 207 and feeling bloated. Then covid hit and I barely touched it. I started renting a house, so I also became fully in charge of groceries for myself as well. Needless to say, stepping on the scale was a bit devastating. 240. Since covid hit, I've had a few wake-up calls, but this combined with not being able to wear my jeans anymore just hit harder than anything else. I feel like shit when I eat too much. It's not a good feeling and I can't deny that anymore. I eat out of boredom. I eat because I'm depressed and if I'm shoveling food in my face, I can excuse not doing the work I should be doing. It all starts somewhere, and for me, that's next week. I don't want to feel gross. I don't want to have a panic attack anytime people are going to be looking at me. I want to wear clothes that I think look nice. I want to be confident. My plan is to start out with Keto and a daily walk. Doesn't matter how far I walk, just so long as I do. With keto, I'm planning on going for an "out of sight, out of mind" strategy. I'm going to fully make a grocery list before leaving my house so I don't end up buying just what looks good. I can do this. It doesn't matter how long it takes, just so long as I stay determined and focus on feeling good rather than looking it. I hope you all are doing okay out there. [link] [comments] |
| Is there a subreddit for people who only have a small-ish amount of weight to lose? Posted: 10 May 2021 10:00 PM PDT Like in the 5-30lb range? Or rather from a "slightly overweight" BMI to "healthy" BMI to be more specific. I'm super happy to see all the engagement of people from all walks of life and BMI here, but there's just a different set of logistics (good and bad) that come from those trying to lose 100s of lbs and those losing 10. It's incredible to see people overcoming these immense mountains and deeply set habits, but noticing that most of the top posts of many weight-loss subreddits are usually (amazing, brave and determined) people celebrating their major weight-losses is a little un relatable to me (though I'm aware solace and tips are usually very applicable to both camps and everyone in-between). Anyone have similar thoughts or know of a place for this? [link] [comments] |
| Am at my heaviest(248lb, 5'7, 25F) feel like I've exhausted every avenue Posted: 10 May 2021 07:43 PM PDT My issue is that I start things, like going to a gym, walking, diet/calorie apps, but, eventually I feel like it's hopeless so I give up, binge to ease my pain, end up getting bigger, try the avenues again, which are then obviously much harder with more added weight. I just feel stuck, like I'm on a cliff and if I fall off the cliff I'll end up very big at a very young age, something I won't like, further from my goal, closer to a point where I'll never be able to turn it around. I hate that I always stumble out of the gate. I have 2 good days, then cheat for the next month, and, to use hyperbole, I binge and then justify it because I did that 1 sit-up 2 weeks ago. I'm at a point, and not to disparage it because I'm sure its helped someone, where I feel like maybe I should just accept my body and unofficially join the body positive, healthy at any size community. How to I stick to a plan? Anyone else felt like me? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 May 2021 12:10 AM PDT I've been on a weightloss journey, from 150 kg (330 lbs) to 118 kg (260 lbs) since august. And i've seem to hit a plateau the past months. Gyms just opened up again, and I work 2 jobs where i wolk quite a bit. I eat around 1750 calories a day (I try to atleast) Am i just not tracking it properly? It is really starting to fuck with my mentality towards weightloss, I feel like when i'm still this obese I should be shredding the weight off still. Anyone got any tips or information relating to this? Been searching online but most of them just ask to reduce calories, which i feel is a really bad idea when my intake is already this low.

| I lost 50 out of my 150 I need to lose and I've learned nothing Posted: 10 May 2021 01:36 PM PDT Warning: This post is mostly me telling myself what I need to know but if you want to send me constructive criticism please feel free to do so! 37F |255 pounds | High BP | Start date: 7/13/20 |High weight: 308 | 1,800 calories a day | 6 days a week 30 minutes cardio Every day is a battle with me and the numbers. I want to lose the weight but I don't want to stop eating what I want. So I decided I will eat 1,800 calories and eat whatever I want as long as I am in a deficit. This worked out fine in the beginning. I get to eat the crap food (chips, candy, crackers) all measured out and inputted into my calorie counting app because that is something. Then the food of course doesn't fill me up so I eat more high calorie crap until I am well over my calories for the day. Then the end of the week comes up and I would need to eat less than 1,000 calories for a couple of days to keep myself on track for my week. The problem is I can't let go of the junk food. It worked fine at first but now it does not satiate me. I also HATE feeling hungry, ever. I guess I need to find some really filling low calorie foods to fill my day with. I am my own worst enemy. I hate that I try every day and fail every night. Sorry if this is ranty and disparaging but I am at my wit's end. Please give me some constructive criticism or a good kick in the pants because I need something right now. Side note: The sad thing is I did this once before. I lost 145 pounds with only diet and exercise by keeping at 1,200 calories a day. I know I can do it it's just so much harder this time for some reason. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 06:18 AM PDT This actually was a few days ago and I am now at 196.4 lb. For some reason after my son was born it was like a fire lit under my booty and I realized I need to be in shape and healthy to take care of him. Trashing my body means less time with this amazing human, so I am doing this for real. I have been up and down in weight the last 3 years (well, steadily increasing for 15 years but you know how it goes) and I finally hit onederland about a week ago and am still focused! I just wanted to share - dedication and discipline pay off!!! I have been adhering closely to keto diet and this time feels different - I feel capable and prepared! One thing I read online that I did differently this time was to buy new clothes. I was punishing myself by trying to squeeze into old clothes that just don't fit, and feeling defeated I was just wearing my maternity pants for almost 4 months after he was born. This time I went out and spent $150 at Ross on new clothes so I feel confident and comfortable NOW. Nothing too pricy because I know it will be loose on me soon. I think this confidence is really helping me remember my goal. If I look great now, imagine how great I'll look and feel as I get back into healthy shape! Let's do this thing!!! Edit: thank you so much for the award!!!! I appreciate the kind support!!!! [link] [comments] |
| Those who use MFP/LoseIt and cook mostly homemade meals from scratch, tell me your secrets! Posted: 10 May 2021 06:29 PM PDT Hello! I have tried time and time again to log all my food on LoseIt or MPF in the hopes of losing weight. I have probably started and fallen off track 8+ times in the past 5 years. The major thing that gets me stuck is logging all the recipes we make. We don't have a set rotation of food and like to experiment with new ideas so I am always typing more recipes in than using old ones. It just gets tiring I guess. I end up not doing it for a night and then lose track within days after. Same with weighing food out, although I know this is necessary to keep a good log of what I am eating. I eat healthily, but have trouble with portion controls with calorie heavy foods and snacking. I also get a little bit "perfectionist" with this and so it is hard to let go of making sure everything is weighed and portioned properly and then I give up if I forgot to weight things before cooking or before eating. I am going to try logging again but could really use your tips and tricks with homemade meals specifically. I want to get back on track with this before June hits and I start working out again so that it is not too much change at once. I know this can be an important part of my weight loss journey, so any help is much appreciated! Thank you and wishing you the best at your own goals! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 03:32 PM PDT I'm almost 19, feels like i turned 18 yesterday. I did not get to be 18. i've been inside 24/7 for over a year, stuffing my face with food and going through the worst anxiety of my life. I struggle immensely with food addiction and i'm so so fucking scared i'll never change. i have this vision of the person i want to be and i get further from it everyday. and worse, i am becoming more and more apathetic to the rising number on the scale. i've already fucked up being 18. i'll never look back on this year and reminisce about being young and happy. i've fucked that all up. this was the worst year of my life and it gets worse every second, and i can't put the food down. no amount of distraction can pull me away from it, especially when there's nothing to do and nowhere to go. i have no control over the food in my house. i feel like i have no control over myself. last time i did this, i lost 40lbs. sometimes it was so easy. now i can't even manage a day of maintenance calories. everyday is a binge eventually, somehow. i've promised myself everyday for years i'd become that person soon enough. before i'm 15, 16, 17, 18, and again i've told myself before i'm 19. I'm 19 in four fucking months. it's never going to happen. fuck [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 May 2021 07:28 AM PDT I have lost weight in the past (about 100 lbs) but in a very unhealthy way. I gained all it back and this is my redemption arc. This time I'm going to do it healthy. I'm 5ft 4inch female SW:306lbs and now I'm 305.1lbs. I know it's not a huge difference yet as it's my first week. Part of me is bummed it's only about a pound. But I have a sedentary job and I really am trying to do this in a healthy mindset. So slow and steady for me! Logically I know I would rather eat a little more everyday than losing it faster and binge eating. I also went for a beautiful 20 minute walk this morning. My knee and bad ankle (sprained years ago. Still bothers me) were a little sore by the end but I tried to focus on the foliage on my walk this morning rather than "calories burned". Aiming to get stronger again! Even though it's not a lot I'm still proud. I am working 10-12 hour shifts a day and balancing that and a healthier lifestyle is huge for me. [link] [comments] |

| Almost 20lbs down woo!! But been stuck for over a month. What’s going on? Posted: 10 May 2021 06:56 PM PDT Hey everyone! I was able to drop 18lbs since January thanks to some encouragement and great advice from members - it's basically about Energy In vs. Energy Out. I've implemented 16:8 Intermittent Fasting and a more active lifestyle since January. However, I've been stuck around 163lbs since mid-March and I'm really hoping to keep making progress to 150lbs. Regardless of the actual number, my goal is to ideally look good and feel healthy. ENERGY IN I break my fast around 12pm and have a fairly healthy lunch: mixed greens, chicken thigh, diced avocado/tomato/cucumber, and half a cup of fruit. I also snack on an egg or two throughout the day. Then I have dinner around 7pm which is whatever my family's having - usually a cup of brown rice and always some kind of protein. I have some trouble with snacking right after my meals... usually reach for almonds, a piece of chocolate, or a handful of my favorite Popcorner chips. Pretty consistent about stopping eating after 8pm. ENERGY OUT My current day starts at 6:30am with stretching and recently worked up to a 3 mile jog for 5 days/wk. I have a pretty sedentary day job. For the last month, I've incorporated some weight training and rejoined a gym last week (bro splits and hoping to hit legs twice a week). I'd appreciate any advice on how to break through what seems like a plateau if you've been in my shoes! Tips, tricks, cheers, and or similar struggles very welcome. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
