| UPDATE: From up to 5 cans of Coke a day... to nothing but water. I’m going crazy! Posted: 16 May 2021 09:57 PM PDT I wanted to say a big thank you to those who gave me so many suggestions on how to stop drinking so many cokes and fizzy drinks and also to update on my transition to drinking water again. It's been about two weeks and I no longer crave soda. I started on 2ltr bottled water and water flavoring (small amounts) and have gradually built up on that. I've bought many different varieties of the flavoring, including mango, elderflower, peach, orange etc. I bought multiple big bottles of water, mixed the flavoring and labeled them in the fridge. It makes it easier to just go and pour it straight from the fridge. HOWEVER, before the "quit bottled water for the environment" and "bottled water is dirtier than tap!" comments, I have ordered a brita filter and a tap filter and intend to switch to these instead when they arrive. Thank you so much, it really is possible! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 May 2021 11:29 AM PDT A month or so ago I hit my goal weight, but my body fat was still kind of high at 29%, so I've been working on that by eating more protein and strength training twice a week. Last week I was feeling particularly good about myself, so I took a picture. I don't take a whole lot of selfies; usually only if I'm feeling fantastic that day. I found one from August 2020 (I was hoping for from May so I could do a full year, but no dice) I compared the two, and.... wow. I couldn't believe it. Not only that but I'm sure the one in August I had some sort of filter on, but the one from last week I didn't, as i was trying to show off how much my skin had cleared up too. (No foundation in the May 2021 pic, just eye makeup and a little brush/ bronzer!) I must have been feeling pretty good that day in August, too - I probably took 3 or 4 and only saved that one. Anyway, all this is to say when you get close to or hit your goal weight, keep improving. Whether it's body fat, skincare, muscles, whatever, you're already used to doing the hard work so you may as well keep going! [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone else think about their weight loss CONSTANTLY? Posted: 16 May 2021 04:29 AM PDT And I mean all the time. When I'm waking up, falling asleep, working, watching TV, playing a game, exercising... there is always a little bit of a background thought stream about CICO and food and my goals. It's not a negative experience, it's usually positive thoughts and feelings of determination and all of it is focused on health and feeling good, but it does just seem as though a lot of my time is spent thinking about it on some level. I do NOT want this to be the rest of my life while I'm maintaining. I don't even want it to be for the rest of my weight loss. Is there ever a point where it just becomes a background part of life, rather than at the forefront of every day? [link] [comments] |
| Hi, im a 13 year old boy who weighs 230 pounds, and I wanna lose weight by any means possible! Posted: 16 May 2021 06:14 PM PDT As the title says, im 13 and 230 pounds and im a boy. I've been dealing with weight probably since about 2018 but ever since 2020 I've gained tons of weight. Im gonna join a football camp this summer but I wanna lose a ton of weight and get fast so I can play and maybe play later in life too. The reason I made this post is to ask if I should try fasting or any methods like that? I try and eat healthier but when the weekends come we have cheat days and I never know how much is enough. So Im just wondering whats a way I can lose weight during and for summer since I only have about a week and a half of school left. [link] [comments] |
| A bag of dog food was a wake-up call. Posted: 16 May 2021 01:54 PM PDT I've been struggling with my weight for about a decade now. When I had my child a few years ago I was able to lose all the weight I had put on. Somehow, it shot up another 20 lbs over the course of a year. Now I'm about 17 lbs overweight with a weight loss goal of 30 lbs. I've never been able to stick to what actually works for me, CICO, because I stress-eat and dread giving up sweets. But... just the other day, we had our dog's food delivered, a 17.5 lb bag. As I struggled to lug that thing inside I realized, "Whoa. This is how much fat is on me right now. This is exactly how many pounds overweight I am!" Something about that hit me hard. I downloaded MFP once more and am really going to try to give this a fair shot. Any other experiences that really hit home for yall? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 May 2021 03:02 PM PDT Ever since I was a kid, on most weekdays, my dad would stop by the supermarket and get some food and also sweets or snacks and coke. We'd have to split it right then and there and throw away the packaging. Obviously, if you wanted no one to touch your stuff you'd have to take it to your room. So what happens with stuff that has to be eaten right away, otherwise it will go bad, like ice cream? Well...you eat it right away! This would also happen with home-cooked meals, especially the more unhealthy ones such as pasta, hot wings, etc. When I met my now ex-boyfriend, I was astounded by the fact that he could start a snack like a bag of chips and put it down for later. To me this idea was unfathomable. I was always the one finishing my meals first, eating the Christmas chocolates first, finishing my meals even if I was full, etc. So I've basically been raised with this mentality that I have to protect my food and eventually consume it on the spot, otherwise someone else would. This has also led me to be more selfish and not want to share food sometimes, or buy unhealthy snacks and hide them and eat them alone. Today, I still live with my parents, but I work so I have my income. This has helped me realize that I can buy something whenever I want, it's always going to wait for me in the store. However, the mentality is still there and it's affecting me a lot. My dad still brings home a lot of sweets and I have to control myself to not eat it all and it's hard. I do good for the first half of the day and then in the evening I overindulge. I don't have frequent binge episodes but I eat compulsively and emotionally(that's another story) a lot. I know this whole post sounds like a first world problem; how can I complain that I get food?? But I just needed to get this off my chest and also if there are parents here, please be careful with the eating habits that you instill in your children. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 May 2021 12:40 PM PDT I bought an 'accountability dress' today, I saw the cutest figure hugging tight long dress in a beautiful green colour which I totally love. Only, right now because it's so tight, it's ok-ish but not very nice on me, I would say. But, in the store, I was like... you know what I will buy this anyway, and I am going to take pictures of myself in the same dress every week. To see the progress. I don't even know if it's ever going to be my type of dress, but let's see. Might post the progress pics here ;-) right now I only have WEEK 0. Do any of you own such an item or maybe multiple items, that you would like to fit into (again)? Have you already been able to? [link] [comments] |
| I kinda cried today thinking about the old me. Posted: 16 May 2021 11:09 PM PDT My freshman year was 50lbs overweight, messed up teeth & and in a poor mental state. I used to hate going to school got into 3 fights (fist) all of who were my former friends, got terrible grades & got picked on... honestly, I thought life couldn't be any worst. After freshman year I saw my GPA & ranking, I got my shit together immediately started studying almost doubled my GPA from my previous year, but I was still fat & depressed. So that summer I looked in the mirror and was unhappy with myself who hit an all-time high of 205 pounds, that summer I made a plan to run 3 miles a day at my local park, which was horrible because I had the worst shin splints and could barely walk but I kept pushing, did Epsom salt baths 2x a day * finally found these shin sleeves that prevented them and made the pain 95% more tolerable. Soon I was on a daily workout regimen where I wasn't sore by the end of the day, finally, the summer ended, and I dropped 30 pounds, PS: also I had a very strict diet of 1400 calories a day + (500 burned in the workout). However, the junior year began I felt great about my life, the first day of school I got like 15+ compliments, girls started to be more friendly but that summer just set off a chain reaction, next thing u know I'm at the gym running 5 miles a day + doing weights for 30 minutes. dropping an additional 30 pounds, I finally saw my jawline become sharp, but the cherry on top was my mom who finally got me braces because she was so proud of my weight loss. by the time the first semester of my junior year ended I was a whole different person. I was 70 lbs down, braces, fixed my hair & I actually had girls flirting with me & somehow lost my virginity (lmao). Then covid hit, then it was just me hanging with myself and playing video games, but honestly, it was pretty chill, but it went by too fast next thing you know I was taking my SATS and applying for college, now a few weeks from graduation and my high school journey is ending and I'm here thinking about how much my life has changed since the beginning of high school to now, and it just makes me so proud of who I became. To whoever is reading this, sometimes to better yourself you need to separate yourself. I know it might be a little lonely at first but once you see that progress it changes your outlook on life. (lmaoo ik im just a teenager). Also, i kinda shed a tear while typing this :) [link] [comments] |

I know a lot of people are anti weight loss drugs, but the reality is that losing weight is hard and I needed any help I can get. It's NOT a shortcut and does not replace significant changes to my lifestyle, but it's that little push I needed. Before the meds, I had a hard time staying below 1800 calories a day without fantasizing about more food all the time. If you find that you break your own rules regularly, it's worth considering. I'm not a doctor or anything, so just discuss this with a GP maybe. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 May 2021 10:13 PM PDT (24F, 5'4, ~320lbs I suppose) Started my exercise and weight loss journey today (5/16/21) I've been overweight pretty much my entire life and I'm just so tired of it. I'm tired of letting stress and boredom drive my eating habits, I'm tired of making excuses for myself, I'm tired of my sedentary lifestyle. I want to make changes for the better. My mental health is poor but I'm unable to go to a professional or get medicated so I'm hoping I can at least control this, and hopefully it'll help in a general sense. I'm afraid that if I aim too high in the beginning that I'll just frustrate and disappoint myself, so I'm just aiming for a few small milestones at a time. Go down a few sizes, have my clothes fit better, note the changes to my double chin and my chubby cheeks. I don't mind counting calories but I don't want to be glued to the scale, so I'd rather focus on how weight loss and improving cardio health will affect my life more practically, if that makes sense. I don't know if I'll ever be a size 4 but I can at least treat myself to better habits. I started a weight loss journey a few months ago and was able to keep at it for about 7 or 8 weeks but got lazy and had depressive episodes. The pandemic certainly isn't helping but this is the new normal and I can't keep using that as an excuse. I don't have any motivation other than "I don't want to live like this". I'm wasting my youth feeling insecure and disgusted at my body and my habits, feeling sluggish and tired all the time, etc. I want to get my mom to do more exercise with me. She's 57 and a workaholic that has already had a small heart attack that she apparently didn't even notice (was pointed out to her by her doctor months after the fact). I love her very much and I don't want to lose her anytime soon but she doesn't take care of herself and is always too tired from work (we are part of a small business) to exercise. She was doing ok with eating healthy but my father just came back from overseas and is already feeding her more food than he needs to (he eats SO much and barely gains weight despite not exercising either, but he is a social eater and wants to eat with her, and she gains weight easily). I've already warned her not to fall into step with his eating habits as they are not good for her. Do you all have any advice on how I can get her to exercise more? Her legs are weak and quite skinny/low muscle, how could we build up her strength in a low impact way? And what would be a good low impact exercise for the both of us? We plan to go on long walks together soon. [link] [comments] |
| No longer beating myself. (Small Win) Posted: 16 May 2021 06:09 PM PDT I have struggled with weight for a while now. But not only that, self care in general has always been a challenge for me, stemming from challenges with self confidence and mental illness. Recently I hit an all time high weight. 254 lbs. I am 5'8", and for reference, I wrested at 152 Lbs in high school. The weight has impacted my day to day comfort for a while now. Driving 45 minutes each way on my commute can hurt, knees get sore, back does too etc. For me these are catalysts for self deprecation, negativity and yo yo efforts where one week I'll be focused and stick to an improvement plan, and other weeks I'll struggle and beat myself up over it. A little over three weeks ago I found a pod cast episode that hit me like a ton of bricks. It had nothing to do with weight loss, the host was talking about self abuse. He pointed out that often we treat ourselves in ways that we would never treat another person we care about, because we would never be that mean to someone we value. I reflected on this concept and recognized that this was one of my faults, and part of the yo yo cycle I have been struggling with. (Not sure if I'm allowed to share the name of the podcast here so I won't, but PM me and I'll let you know which one if you want.) I would get on a positive trend, then have one setback and beat myself up out of frustration and this leads to further setbacks. I committed to change this and from that point on, my focus has been different. I've embraced that my efforts don't have to be perfect, as long as I'm continually and consistently making efforts towards my improvement, I'm already doing better than I have been. This has led to the best three week stretch I have had in a long time. I have been consistent in exercising, eating healthier and building better habits. I have had days where it hasn't been perfect, but instead of doing what I used to do, beat myself up... I've taken the approach of encouraging myself the way I would my kids, or my wife when they are facing a challenge. On those days where I misstep, (a fast food lunch for example.) I have been able to just come home, get in shorts and workout without blaming myself. It seems so simple, and I'm calling it a small win. I think it may prove to be bigger in the long run though because I think I'm doing a better job of working the muscle between my ears for a change. [link] [comments] |
| Reminder: We are more than our reflections Posted: 16 May 2021 02:55 PM PDT Today, while I was looking in the mirror, I saw that despite having lost 75lbs and finally being a normal BMI, I still had plenty of fat on my frame. I saw that despite weightlifting, I had no visible muscles in my resting state. I felt depressed - as if I had failed. Then I remembered. The mirror can only show a reflection. Behind that reflection is a story, stretching backwards in time. Thousands of me, describing who I am. Going all the way back to the day I decided to embark on this journey, they show my drive to succeed, my ambition, willpower, and determination. They show careful thoughtfulness and planning. All of these combined were necessary for embarking on my weight loss journey. And just because those qualities are not reflected in the mirror does not mean they don't exist! What the mirror shows is irrelevant. Who you see in the mirror is not who you are. Your physical body is not reflective of your value as a person. It is just a vessel in a constant state of change, propelled by yourself. Your confidence shall stem not from it, but from who you are as a person - your ambition, your willpower, and your determination. That is truly something to be proud of, something you can be proud of long before you reach your goals and long after age has faded your looks. If, one day, you do take confidence from the mirror, it should not be from how you look, but what having achieved such a look says about you. But here is the kicker - you are already that person, for you have already begun the journey, and in doing so, have displayed the positive qualities you should be fiercely proud of. In light of this, how we look is almost an academic triviality - something might be neat, something you can adjust to optimize how others interact with you, but not in any way definitional or foundational to who you are.

| Was never taught how to eat properly Posted: 16 May 2021 08:48 PM PDT Like the title says, I was never taught how to eat properly and learn how to eat to lead a healthy life at a healthy weight. Like everyone, I've tried most diet things. My best results came from working out with a personal trainer who helped me lose 30lbs in 10 weeks. At 5'-10" I was starting at 256lbs and went down to 226lbs on final weigh in day. But as soon as my 10 weeks were up, I gained all of it back because my diet is terrible. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I always hear how losing weight is 20% workouts and 80% in the kitchen. I don't know what to eat specifically to help me stay on track for the long term. My trainer suggested my Macros need to be 40/30/30. And I was restricted to 1700 kcals. It worked. But I wasn't eating meals in a normal manner. I was eating 12oz of chicken for dinner, 2 cups of broccoli, and a banana. How exactly is it normal for me to maintain that type/style of eating for life? It's not practical in my world. How is there not a book or program or cheat sheet that literally tells you what to eat for 90 whole days with those macros and kcals amounts? You might find one day or two on Google but I literally need a guide on how to eat full whole meals. Not just, "Oh I need a little more carbs and only have 100 calories left on my day, I'll eat an apple". So I fall back into my pitfalls of trying to eat as healthy as possible while still enjoying family time, friends, nights out, or events. Basically not where I can eat 12oz of chicken, 2 cups of broccoli and a banana. I hope this makes sense. I was always brought up on fast food and snack food in the pantry. I didn't know most adults eat salads at dinner no matter what the main course is until I read about that. I literally need a guide to read on how to eat properly and what to make or meal prep or whatever. If it's printed and in front of me, I can follow it to a T! If I have to dream up what to eat the next day, I'll fail and fall back into my own ways. [link] [comments] |
| Losing but feeling down about it Posted: 16 May 2021 11:59 AM PDT I started at 300 lbs around 3 weeks ago, down to 287 as of Saturday night. I'm restricting myself to 1450 calories a day and try to walk at least an extra mile if my legs permit it. My biggest hurdle is I know I should be doing this for myself, but I have no support. I have no friends, whether IRL or online, or even any family that believe in me. I exercise alone, walk alone, eat alone, and it's seriously taking a mental toll on me. We don't have a local gym, as it closed permanently due to Covid, so it's been a lone process. How many others are doing it completely on your own? How are you doing it and not going crazy?

| Anyone else find the 190-210lbs range VERY annoying? Posted: 16 May 2021 02:28 PM PDT Stats- 5'10 Male, SW-250lbs/CW-203lbs. My lowest weight was 193lbs back in December. My goal weight is 170ish however it's harder to lose weight now more than ever. I probably have to change my deficit since I've lost weight and my body is too adjusted. Half of me feels decent at the current weight and the other half wants to lose more. I want to comfortably wear a simple white t-shirt and not worry about my belly/moobs sticking out. The past year I've lost AND gained 5-10lbs over and over. For 2 months I'm killing it then I fall into a relapse of junk food. Then I make another milestone and lose a little more weight just to gain it back. I'm happy that I'm still somewhat "maintaining" and not going back to my heaviest weight but it's definitely a drag. Any advice? Suggestions? [link] [comments] |
| what are some tips to break my habit of eating takeout frequently? Posted: 16 May 2021 05:31 PM PDT 23F, 5'7", CW: 190, GW: 160 Hello, i need some help and encouragement for my ongoing weight loss but healthy body image journey. When I was 13, I weighed at my highest 170 lbs, lost the weight, and went down to 147 - 155 lbs from high school till college until my senior year of college where life started kicking me in the ass. During that time, I also decided to lower my meal plan and cook at home more, but stress and depression (and alcohol) led me to eat out a lot. Since I left 2 years ago I never really kicked the habit for myself, and it really taken over my life a d i gained back all that weight and then some. While I do think I fantasize being at the clothing size I was as a young woman, I do understand that as we grow older our bodies are still changing. I want to go 21 days without ordering takeout and eating food not cooked by myself (other than my birthday stuff I planned with friends). What are some tips in order to stay on track? I am not a terrible cook (i actually like cooking). [link] [comments] |

| I want to lose and keep off 56lbs. How soon can I expect this, realistically? Posted: 16 May 2021 03:32 PM PDT I'm a 27 year old 5'5" male and I weigh 200lbs, which is the biggest I've ever been. This is also the first time I've ever said to anyone that I wanna lose weight, even if it's just writing it down, so thank you for listening. I started my weight loss journey about two weeks ago and have so far lost 10lbs, which I assume is mostly, if not entirely, water weight. Since the start of this journey I've eaten/drunk about 1400 calories a day, weighed & tracked all of my food, and am trying to get 10k steps in every other day. As a side: I know that more exercise will help contribute to weight loss, but I know myself very well and I'm definitely willing to work out more further down the line, but if I do too much at the start I'll burn out and give up. Will I lose weight if I keep doing what I'm currently doing? And if so, how long (approx) is it likely that I can reach my goal weight of <150lbs? I know my question seems really basic but I don't know where else to ask, and most Google results are from companies trying to sell me programmes or something. Thank you so much for reading!

| Posted: 16 May 2021 09:07 PM PDT I've just begun working out with a personal trainer. My great grandma passed a few weeks ago and her last words to me were "take care of yourself." I already knew I hadn't been doing that but those words really struck a chord with me. What I weigh doesn't really matter but I'm not in good shape and my body hurts all the time. I'm only 22 years old and I realized I don't want to resign myself to being in pain for the rest of my life. I talked to my mom and she helped me financially so that I could get a personal trainer. I've seen him twice and I've already cried once while working with him. I'm really scared that I won't be able to do what I set out to do, especially because my food habits are so weird and bad and breaking them feels so unattainable. I'm not even sure what I'm looking for out of posting this here, I've never posted anything on Reddit before but I guess I wanted someone to understand how absolutely terrified I am of doing this, so much so that I'm crying as I write about it.

| Motivation. Any of it, please. Posted: 16 May 2021 08:47 PM PDT I'm having such a hard time being healthy. I've been overweight for as long as I can remember (like 10/11ish) and I honestly don't know what to do anymore. My husband and I made the choice together to be healthier. Since November, he has lost close to 50 lbs and I still am flip flopping between the same 5 pounds. At this point, I feel bad that I'm stuck where I started and my husband doesn't want to upset me. I'm starting to go back to awful habits and sneaking unhealthy food around. I feel gross, unhealthy, uncomfortable, and exhausted. Can anybody share something that worked for them when things aren't going according to plan? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 May 2021 09:17 PM PDT As a preference, I'm only 19 now so not much experience in life but I've seen Evey way a body can be just on mine, fat skinny, fit and broken (sports injurys) have all been different stages of myself. it took me about 2 months to lose 40 pounds, I dropped straight to an unhealthy weight because I've always been go big or go home, and I never worked out to actually have any musscle under the fat, I had alot of silly ideas and myths about weight loss stuck in my head and I was convinced if I just wasn't fat I'd look amazing, so I kept loseing weight until I finally realised the musscle just didn't exist and I was being an idiot, started working out and gained 20 pounds of Musscle, i have a few tips for people who were like me, fat and didn't know what I didn't know I was so lost. Some pictures of then and now: http://imgur.com/a/PcFUDhY 1) people say it's a marathon, it isn't, get the job done and move on, if it takes longer then a year you are doing things wrong and need to re evaluate, your changing things for the better and letting peices fall into place it doesn't take as long as you think and telling people it does just demotivates what little motivation they have 2) you actually get to eat more food as a fit person because musscle burns alot of calories just existing, so a love of food isn't a reason to keep yourself down 3) it does require willpower, idk how I managed this part, because mine is shit, you just gotta want something more then anything and work for it 4) body positivity isn't wrong, being a different size or shape won't change your mind or your happiness, that's all on you 5) loseing weight is easyer then gaining weight, sounds odd but true, don't let yourself get too low or else You've just made the uphill battle alot steeper 6) going to the gym for no reason is hard, finding a physical activity you love isn't! I fell in love with martial arts and NEEDED to be better then other people, that ment working out and suddenly willpower wasn't a factor because I NEEDED it and boom, I was in the gym 5 days a week before I knew it, but I started with body weight workouts so that's not an excuse ither 7) at the end of the day, nobody wants you to be better, idk why, but people hate watching someone improve themselves, is guess it reminded them they aren't and it drives them crazy, that's why there's so much bullshit out there on the topic, you have to fight for yourself and against everyone, get in your own lane and don't stop till you are ahead of everyone else, judge yourself against everyone and no one, the balence is up to you to find 8) at the end of the day, you have to face yourself, if you fail, it's nobody's fault but yours as Soo Nas you say this is who I am, things get alot easyer, because if you don't want it to be who you are, then it's up to you to change 9) be better then you were last week, if you were sitting alone In a room with 2 yous, one from last week, you now and one from next week, ask yourself, is the one from last week proud of me now? And how can I make the me from next week proud of me, improve every week, even if it's the tinyist amount, you've improved, be proud, and work for next week If you have any questing about weight loss, gain, or. Musscle building I'll be happy to answer them to the best of my abilities and I won't add fluff,. If I don't know I'll tell you that, this world is made of love and peace everyone, good luck Sorry if this is hard to read, I type very fast, on a mobile phone and have a nasty learning disability, spelling ain't my strong suit! Love you all! [link] [comments] |
| How can I ease my anxiety when I start to restrict? Posted: 16 May 2021 08:16 PM PDT Hi everyone! I have a relatively simple question I could use some advice for. Whenever I start trying to lost weight, I notice that, as I begin lowering my calorie intake, I get more and more nervous about "am I having enough food?" Even though I'm only aiming for like 1600 cals a day, monkey brain sees the shortage and starts to get nervous, making me overeat more. I've actually gained weight sometimes while dieting because of this. I've been trying to lose weight on and off for a year or so, but I've always gotten discouraged and given up because of this. (I've also tried intuitive eating, which helps with weight some, just not as much as I'd like.) Any advice on how to just go with the flow when dieting? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 May 2021 02:48 PM PDT 5'4 female sw 170 gw 140 cw 160 I've been stuck at 158 for two weeks and then this weekend was my best friends bachlorette and I didn't have to heart to be like no I can't eat or drink that and just ended up obviously going way over and today I weigh in at 160. I know I can regroup and I'll lose weight again but to see that 6 after all the hard work I've put in just because of one weekend makes me really sad. Also I was feeling really good about my 12 pound weight loss and then I saw myself next to her and all the other inshape girls in the pictures and I just feel defeated and unsexy again. Just a rant sorry. Will just have to get back on the wagon tomorrow [link] [comments] |
