| PSA: No you don’t eat less than your thin friends Posted: 05 May 2021 10:24 AM PDT I thought my thin best friend who I'd known since middle school ate twice what I did and stayed rail thin(5'7 and maybe 120lb). I was always jealous of her Ferrari like metabolism and wished my tricycle like one would catch up. We moved in together last June for quarantine so I've had nearly a whole year to see her eating habits in action. These are my observations:
Since we live together I tried to live like her and voila. I'm (5'5) down 50 pounds from my peak of 220lb and 20 lb from my goal weight. [link] [comments] |
| Today, the scale read 129.2. 101lbs down, 9.2lbs to go. Posted: 05 May 2021 08:58 PM PDT Depression has been kicking my butt lately and I haven't shared with anyone in person that I've picked back up trying to reduce calories again. I stepped on the scale today and the depressed majority of me shrugged it off. Though, I also felt the smallest speck of joy at seeing a number I've dreamed of for ten years. I don't know. I wanted to share this with someone who would understand. Maybe I'll make a longer post one day about my experiences. For now, if anyone were to ask for advice, here's my top three tips:

| Posted: 05 May 2021 08:47 PM PDT Hello everyone. So I guess today I have finally decided I should share my story to the world. I have been on quite the fitness journey over the past couple years. It started spring 2019. I weighed 320 pounds and I am 5'11". I am 21 years old today and weigh 210 pounds. I had been obese my whole life. One day I just had a switch go off in my head that I wanted to change my life for the better and shoot for everything I wanted in my life. I wanted to lose weight and be fit. I just want people to take my story as motivation to shoot for the stars. Never think something is impossible. So I began just generally eating less and healthier. No second servings and no junk food like cookies and cupcakes and ice cream and chips. I started eating healthier snacks like fruits and pretzels. Most importantly I started counting calories. I downloaded an app called MyFitnessPal. I'm not claiming it to be 100% accurate but it did an excellent job at keeping me counting my calories consistently that led me to reach the results I was seeking. I hit my goal of 200 pounds summer of 2020. Around halfway through my journey I also started to do light cardio. I would take light walks of 30 minutes to an hour each day. As I got more fit I started to run and do body weight exercises like sit-ups and planks and jumping jacks. Eventually when I hit my goal, I invested in weights and resistance bands and started to weight training. My current goals now are to build muscle and get stronger. I currently follow a personal workout routine but if anyone's curious it's a Push/Pull/Leg 3 day split I do twice a week, and rest on Sunday. I currently train at a gym. This leads me now to probably the most inspirational part of my journey. My weight loss inspired my family to start losing weight. They started walking and eating healthier. My mom, sister, and brother lost over 200 pounds combined. We vacationed to universal studios Orlando in the fall and my mom was able to fit in rides she never was able to before. My family thanks me and tells me I saved our lives. We were all obese and leading very unhealthy lives. The craziest thing that happened was probably a month ago when me and my mom were on the way to the gym and walking out to the car. I worked outside with weights and resistance bands in the summer after I hit my goal and I live in a apartment complex so a lot of people saw me (btw I got so many compliments and I cannot thank my community enough). Anyway we saw a man walking and he was using a workout equipment (I have no idea what the thing was). He stopped me and my mom and told us that he would watch us exercise everyday in the summer and we inspired him to start exercising. So there it is. There's my story. But in truth my journey just has begun. I'm still year 1 in gym and am striving to get muscular. I just really want or at least hope that people can take my story as the people around me have as motivation to not just reach any fitness goals you have, but any goals you have in general. Never give up. Here is some before and after pictures of me. I'm not comfortable sharing pictures of my family although I do have one before and after of me and my mom. Also my Instagram is athletic_frank in case you want to see anything more and want to see future updates. Also if you have any questions about anything, please feel free to message anytime. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and god bless you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 May 2021 12:46 AM PDT (F37 - SW 170lbs , GW 135 lbs, CW 147 lbs) I've been meaning to post for a while to say thank you to this lovely community for giving me ideas and motivation to lose weight. I gained about 35lbs carrying my second child and although I lost 20 lbs quickly after the birth, I had 15lbs hanging on for over a year at complete plateau. It meant I still didn't fit most of my clothes and didn't feel comfortable but it wasn't so much weight that I could really motivate myself to start losing it. January 1st I decided to take the advice of this group and start trying small things to lose weight. I started off by cutting out drinking and doing a 15 minute excercise video each day for a month to kick start everything. I lost 1.5 lbs and it was such a huge relief. The last few months I've been working on what I eat- cutting down very slowly but not cutting out anything totally. I get most of my excercise from walking and running after toddlers but I've added a really simple goal to just do 5 mins cardio a day- so a quick excercise video or some aerobics while I wait for the kettle to boil is enough and it is really helping too. I've also been paying attention to when I need my calories. I'm hungriest in mid morning and afternoon so where I can really cut down is dinner time. I never deny myself a big breakfast or lunch but sometimes I'll just have a really small dinner and that has really worked for me- I don't feel too hungry or like I'm missing out because I cut calories where and when suits me. I've lost 4lbs in total now since January so very slow but I hope this might provide some inspiration to other people who just want to or have to lose the last bit of weight slowly and sustainably. One person on this sub really helped me by pointing out that you don't need a massive calorie defect to lose weight. A small deficit will still show differences over time as long as you are content to lose it slowly. My mantra is to keep the weight off not lose it fast- so even if I only lose half of what I planned this year I feel confident what i do lose will stay off. Thankyou again to everyone on this sub for sharing their stories and ideas and for just supporting each other in general. This is the healthiest weight loss network I've ever come across and always recommend it to anyone I know who wants to lose weight. You're all the best! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2021 04:30 PM PDT Hello peeps, I'm writing this mainly for myself, but maybe for someone else who resonates with me aswell. I'm around 400lbs, and I need to lose that weight badly. The last years where it all added up I just let myself go, I gained a lot through a combination of bad eating habits and my hypothyroidism, but mostly because of the bad habits. That weight ruins me, I'm such an outgoing person, or I was... But nowadays I mostly try to avoid a lot of situations because of my weight. Slowly I'm starting to get lonely and I can't get back into a relationship since I can't even love myself, so how can I let someone else through to me? It all has to start now, I'm so annoyed by myself Every time I try to start I get back into old habits. I know how to calorie count, and still a couple of days later the bad habits of ordering food and eating crap are back in action because I'm lazy. So I write this to hold myself accountable now I need to stop I want to live and be happy Holy shit, I just need a change,i want my old life back.. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2021 02:34 PM PDT I am a 19 year old, been obese my whole life. Today... I bought a scale because I wanted to lose weight, and keep it off and feel good about myself. I was very shocked to see I was 343.6 lbs. I got off the scale so many times, took my clothes off, and even made sure it was calibrated, It was. I got it on it again, 343.6.... and again.... 343.6. I was so disappointed and disgusted with myself. I knew at this point it's time to make a change. I'm a little shocked because I have sooo much to lose. It's good I'm making a change going into my adult life, I can live the rest of my life happily. So, tomorrow it's on. Time to get it off and feel good about myself, no matter how long it takes.

| Upped My Cals and Feel Like a Failure Posted: 05 May 2021 11:17 PM PDT I have a ton of weight to lose, over 150lbs. I get discouraged because the number is so big and so am I. I, obviously have an eating disorder, but my background is both binge eating and starvation diets. I was anorexic and bulimic during my teen years and it was the only time I was ever a "normal" weight. Whenever I go down in calories, say to lose 2lbs a week, I suddenly mess everything up. I don't know what happens. I really need an eating disorder specific therapist to work on this with, I'm just not in a great financial place at the moment, but it's like the second I lower my calories to 2lb weekly loss, nope. I start binging and feeling extremely deprived. Which is really scary because my calories will only go down as I lose. It must be triggering something in me. I've been failing to stay on target, so I put myself back up to 1.5lb weight loss per week cals, but it makes me feel like a failure. Like I used to be able to starve myself, but I can't go down a few hundred calories??? I don't get myself. [link] [comments] |
| Attempt #5937482928...or something. Posted: 05 May 2021 04:30 AM PDT Here we go again. 5'4", CW 186 lbs, GW 130 lbs. Day 1. Ugh. Seriously so over this nonsense. I'm trying to just put the past behind me, but man, it's hard. A few years ago I got myself down to 140 lbs. Then I had my first kid and gained it all back. Then I lost maybe 20 lbs. Then I had my second kid and gained even more back. Now I'm back up to where I was when I first got married many moons ago. Over the past six months I've started and restarted and restarted and restarted. Bought a treadmill last fall. Tried keto, tried 4hb, tried calorie counting. Went on new meds that messed it all up. Switched meds that didn't work as well, but at least I was able to lose 5 lbs that time. Then I gained it back. I'm excited for this change, but I'm also so frustrated. Like, how do I constantly do this to myself? I know this is all due to my depression...the weight gain and my self talk, which I'm improving. So forgive me if I seem dour about things, but I've learned that it's better for me mentally if I get my emotions out and discuss them rather than "trucking on" like I used to. I'm really hopeful this time though. Truly. Not in that overexcited "I'm going to conquer the world!" sort of feeling that we all get when we start anew. But rather, it's a feeling that slowly, with time, I'll see some results. Slowly, I'll change my habits. I feel more like the turtle this time than the hare. And I think that's a good thing. So here's to day 1. First goal is to hit today's calorie count and no more. That's all. Just have to take it one day at a time, right? Keep your fingers crossed. [link] [comments] |
| NSV: I’ve had a consistent month of exercise and keep setting personal records. Posted: 05 May 2021 01:06 PM PDT Hello. I recently decided to get back into exercising this year. It began last month when I was tired of being out of a gym for a full year due to the pandemic. The idea of returning to a gym did not interest me any longer. As a Apple Watch user I decided to sign up for Apple Fitness+, their video exercise service for doing workouts at home. I've made a effort for get in at lest one exercise of 20 minute length each day since April 1st and commit to filling my Rings, the metric for Apple Watch that tracks Move (active calories), Exercise Minutes (brisk walking pace or faster) and Stand Minutes (one minute per hour). My routine came into place two weeks ago when I determined a schedule to keep myself consistent each day instead of resorting to randomness. The week
Having Fitness+ has help greatly as a guide. Instead of fumbling around on a yoga mat or with dumbbells, I feel confident that I will be able to succeed daily now. On most days I wake up thinking about exercising and looking forward to it. With all of this comes the reward of setting multiple personal records. Since the start of April, I have managed to make records in indoor cycling, functional strength training and yoga for most calories burned in a single workout. This is occurs so much that I am beginning to laugh at it. When does it stop? At some point I'll reach a plateau. For maybe the first time ever, I am enjoying a active lifestyle that is keeps me reaching for a healthier self. [link] [comments] |
| weird menstruation when losing weight Posted: 05 May 2021 06:27 PM PDT hi all, i have kind of a weird one i think! i'm wondering if anyone else has experienced immediate menstruation after the 1st few days of a calorie deficit. basically, as soon as i start losing lbs, i immediately start menstruating as well. my weight fluctuates quite often, so this has happened probably close to a dozen times in my life, and it's definitely not a coincidence. i normally do not menstruate (unless i'm on birth control); just have some light spotting every 2-3 months. i've tried googling this and can't find anyone else sharing a similar experience! would love to hear from anyone who has!

| Posted: 05 May 2021 05:51 PM PDT I have been Obese since I hit puberty (a combo of bad eating habits taught at home and losing the genetic lottery - both my parents were obese). I've been trying to lose weight for 23 years. I've lose 100lbs twice (going from 300s down to the 200s) only to gain it all back again twice. I've been recently doing another round of research to see if there's something I"m missing (I've tried CICO, Atkins, stimulants, WFPB, Intermittent Fasting, etc.) and I came across this cohort study from 2015 that shows the chance of an Obese male recovering and reaching a "normal" weight is .5% (half of one percent). Recently my doctor flat out told me "I think you should focus on eating healthy, not on losing weight. You will probably never be thin." And so, a question for those in the Obese (Ideally class 2 and above people): what keeps you going when the odds of success are lower than surviving most cancers? Why do you keep trying?

| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Thursday, 06 May 2021? Start here! Posted: 05 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.

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 5 Posted: 05 May 2021 06:52 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy Wednesday y'all! Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & report here even if I don't like it: Nope 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): Maintenance today. 3/4 days. Exercise 5 days a week: Rest day. 3/5 days. Self-care acts/alone time & ten deep breath cycles a day: Check mark on the breathing. Alone time during my errands/commute. Try a new recipe once a week: Pan fried mahi mahi. Would do again, but I like fish across the board. 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: Sensory input, sunshine makes it so easy to be mindful & present in this moment. Gratitude list: Today I'm grateful for stir fry veggies, good coffee & good company. Also, time off work. I booked myself some time off for staycation. Your turn! [link] [comments] |
| Binge eating and me (not medical advice) Posted: 05 May 2021 11:54 AM PDT When I started my journey I had to identify my problem areas and one of them was binge eating. When I would eat, I would eat! Eating a whole large pizza pie + wings + dessert + 2 liters of soda and that's just dinner. This is cool when I was 130-140lbs. Its not so cool at 200lbs. WHAT I DO: Limiting access: I don't have any junk food in my apartment. It helps a a lot. When I'm feeling in the "mood" there's not many bad options. I have lot of peanut butter, celery, broccoli, and popcorn. Ignoring deals: This is the hardest one for me. Coming from a poor background and having studied finance in college this goes against everything I've been taught. Buying 1 sandwich instead of the BOGO 50% hurts. It means 2 slices for $2.50 and not a medium pie for $5. THE BAD: Its obvious I still have a not-so-good relationship with food and control. I can't have a family size bag of chips, a box of fruit snacks, etc. inside my home. However I can control myself at the grocery store. Being around tempting food for a few seconds and walking away is easier than having it in my home. I still eat some junk once in a while. I buy a cookie (or 3, sorry lol). 1 fruit snack, not the box. MY BODY: Okay, so I've been working out and I'm getting muscular. I've never seen my body like this haha. I kinda like how I look with a medium shirt on. I did buy bigger pants as others suggested in my last post until I can slim down. It feels good to have pants that fit, even if they are larger than I'd like it. Also looks good too. I still have a good bit of belly. But overall I'm feeling good. OTHER NOTES: Binge eating is very my a psychological thing. I'm not a medical professional, but I think I'll need professional help in the future. What will I do when I have a family of my own? I don't think it'd be fair to impose that on others (which kinda reminds me of the Demi Lovato situation, but I digress). I still very much binge eat. But eating peanut butter & celery or a bowls of lightly salted no-butter popcorn is not as bad as what I was doing. TLDR: This post is just for me to just check-in with myself. I feel so much self-love and I haven't felt that in so long (im getting kinda teary eyed, so I'll end here). [link] [comments] |
| I'm having trouble with self confidence as I lose weight. Posted: 05 May 2021 08:40 AM PDT So, I've always been overweight. I'm pretty proportional and gain everywhere fairly evenly, but I'm most self conscious about my legs. The fat there just seems softer, and has a much more pronounced jiggle when I walk. I don't even know how to describe it and I don't mean to put my self down, but it looks like pudding or literal jello when I walk. It undulates and has the same softness. I'm 5'3 and 149 lbs (down from 200 at my highest) as of this morning and only really want to lose another 20 lbs. I understand that I need to build muscle and continue to lose the fat (which has been difficult during covid just mentally and physically, but those are just excuses.), but with summer coming up I just feel hopeless and embarrassed. I know this is a mental thing and I need to continue and get over it but God almighty. It's exhausting. Sorry for the rant. I don't really have anywhere else to talk about this. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 06 May 2021 01:45 AM PDT I'm not sure if this is a rant, or to be seen as motivation, but here I go. Over the past 1.5 Months I've pretty much not lost any weight (been up and down a kilo here and there, but the overall trendline is pretty much flat), BUT as I sew my own clothing, I've had to pretty much take in all of them to fit me nicely again (One skit I even had to take in 12 cm! The hell?!?) Now with the older clothes (things I made before the winter) it makes sense, given I haven't worn those in months, and lost quite a chunk of weight since I made them. But I also have a skirt, that I made about the same time I "stopped" loosing weight, and low and behold, I already had to re-do the fastening twice, to make it fit me nicely again (overall now about 4.5 -5 cm). I know that muscle weight is higher than fat, and I can see my body change, I'm just always a bit at awe, that if I'd only go by scale, I'd be standing still, whilst the general shape of my body clearly isn't the same anymore as it was 1.5 months ago. Human bodies are weird, what can I say. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2021 05:10 AM PDT Lockdown and overeating made me put about 20lbs on and i started a diet and quit. I weighed myself and checked my BMI and it was overweight by a little. I decided to start limiting calories and walking more and being more active. Now nearly 2 months later, i have lost 16lbs and am a healthy BMI. I still eat whatever food i want, but i just remember or note the calories in them. If i eat something nice but it has 500cals, i limit what i eat for the rest of the day. Started drinking lots more water too. I have limited myself to 1500cals and its worked so far. I will use this more as a lifestyle change than a diet, as dieting is temporary and i will put it all back on if i ate like I used to. I'm aiming to lose another 10-14lbs atleast [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2021 06:32 PM PDT Like, how fast should I lose weight, and do I have to take supplements, like a one a day vitamin, and if that will impede or not impede my progress? I know how tô lose weight, and now I am very determined tô do so, however, I have struggled with binge eating and purging. I want to do this the healthy way, which is one to two lbs lost per week. I ideally would like to accomplish this in five years or less. I can do the math, but seriously, Is that too much time, or too little? I have no idea! I have struggled with binge eating in the past. I am very determined to lose all of the weight I put on these last six or so years. I want to be a success story. I plan to start with CICO. Any other tips in losing this much weight will be greatly, greatly appreciated. To people who have lost this much weight before in a span of five years, how did do it? Is it healthy for women? Thank you 🙏 so much in advance! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 May 2021 10:50 PM PDT So I've been working on my weight for nearly 5 years with lots of up and downs, losing the majority of the weight the last 2 years or so, and just this past year I've made a lot of slower steadier progress regarding not only weight loss (hit 160 for the first time since 2011) but also consistently exercising. But looking at my food log, one thing that I noticed over the years of working on this is that while I could eat healthy and lose weight steadily for months on end, I am VERY EASILY knocked out my groove with just a few days of eating a lot and it snowballs incredibly quickly. This usually happens during the holidays for obvious reasons (one huge holiday meal + subsequent days of leftovers), but there are "micro-moments" over the year where I would pig out over KBBQ on my birthday or I eat out with friends and the following days feel like a struggle to fight the urge to consume more than I usually do when I'm calorie cutting. It kind of makes me mad that my body just won't get with the program after all this time. And I feel like if I could have some sort of M.O. for when something like this happens again I'd be able to deal with it and see better progress. I was wondering if you've also experienced this and have any solutions? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 05 May 2021 08:25 AM PDT F/24 CW: 143 GW1: 123. My meals aren't too bad. It's really the snacks. I admit to being a boredom eater. And a stress eater. Even later in the week when I was more conscious, I'd pick up a caramel apple as a treat, or I'd bake something for my sister and you know what happens when you bake! (Licking bowl, etc.) My snacks clock in at a ridiculous 600-800 calories a day. Any tips on how to curb it? Things I'm looking for
Anything would help. [link] [comments] |
