| I can't remember my dad ever eating breakfast. And my mom always made a huge salad every day. [tip] Posted: 05 Jun 2021 10:45 AM PDT Now that I've lost a good amount of weight twice and learned a lot about eating, I realize my dad was doing intermittent fasting and mom was volume eating to stay at healthy weights. Dad volume ate veggies during dinner too. My parents were always a healthy weight but we had all kinds of food in the house and those were just their normal habits. My dad never talked about skipping breakfast or told anyone, he just did it and I only realized recently. Mom always told me to eat more fruit and veggies but of course I didn't listen as much at the time. I noticed that people who don't struggle with food and weight dont seem to think about food or eating all the time. Try observing people or thinking about people who are at a healthy weight in their life and able to maintain it. Maybe they are doing something like cico, intermittent fasting and volume eating without even realizing it. intermittent fasting makes me not think about food. its even easier if i plan a week or 2 in advance. When i was doing strict calorie counting i was eating through out the day and counting everything and it made me miserable. i gained all the weight back. i started hating counting calories so much that i stopped. i hated being focused on food. now i just eyeball it because i know the basic size of a serving. i fast and volume eat and its working for me! just wanted to give some thoughts to anyone who might want to try something different if you're struggling.

| Finally down 40 lbs and halfway to my goal! Feeling proud and healthy. Posted: 05 Jun 2021 06:03 PM PDT I was quite overweight for awhile due to a bad eating and lifestyle habits (eating at midnight, huge binges, Starbucks everyday, driving places I could walk to). The last time I was remotely thin and healthy was 7th grade. But I was still a bit chubby. I'm now 21 and attending college (university) with hopes of getting my dream job— a lawyer. It was hard at first. I kept having setbacks, and often wanted to give up. I didn't want to eat healthy or workout. But I started keeping my mind to it! At my heaviest I was 215 lbs! A year and a half later I'm in "one-derland"!! I weigh 179 lbs as of today. Yes, that is still very overweight, I know. But I'm so happy and motivated knowing that I can get to my goal before I know it!! My goal weight is somewhere in the may be 95 to 100 lb range. Depending on muscle mass gained. But that's okay because I am only 5 foot 0.5 Also, for context I am female and very short with very narrow bone structure, both of which I feel self conscious… Edit: a typo Edit 2: context etc [link] [comments] |
| I hate everything about being fat Posted: 05 Jun 2021 10:55 PM PDT Today was my last straw. I woke up and felt hungry but didn't want to eat so I can have more calories later. Went to the gym and got so many looks, couple stares including a girl I previously talked to who noticed the significant weight gain. Tried to go shopping for new clothes since I've been wearing the same 5 things for the last 2 years. Realized I'm too big for an XL, but too small for an XXL, nothing fit. Ended up buying a L t-shirt that I'll save for when I finally do lose the weight (which I've been doing for years now). Then went out to dinner with family and received ugly comments about what I was eating, despite us being at a restaurant? Why is being fat the hardest thing ever? Why do I receive so much hate and judgement for something I hate myself? Why is being fat in the gym so taboo? How else am I supposed to lose the weight if I can't use the proper equipment? Why are there never clothes that can hide the fat and look good on me? Why take me to a restaurant if you don't like the idea of me eating anything other than a salad? Why even talk to me then? Just wanted to vent that out. I can't wait until this prison sentence is over, sorry for anyone that may have got offended. These are just personal experiences and a bit of insecurity talking.

| How do you stop feeling trapped in your fat body? Posted: 05 Jun 2021 01:57 PM PDT For those of you who lost a lot of weight.... meaning over 100 pounds... how do you stop feeling trapped in your body during the weight loss? Last year, I weighed over 400 pounds. As of today, I'm at 325. That's almost 90 pounds gone in about a year and a half. It's been incredibly slow, and knowing that weight loss only gets slower as you get lighter, I'm feeling like I'll still be fat years from now. I have a lot of victories... whether it's the steadily decreasing numbers on the scale, the fact that I'm wearing clothes a size smaller than before and they're still loose, the fact that I have skin that's starting to get all wrinkly and saggy and I can pinch and pull at it way more than I ever could before... and I have before and after photos that show my eyes the difference. But when I wake up in the morning and hop in the shower and put on my work clothes... I still look down at my body and see what I saw a year ago. My giant gut. My man-boobs that are bigger than most women have. Obviously, I can't change this. I know that I have body dysmorphia preventing me from seeing the changes in a mirror or when looking down. I know that weight loss takes time and I won't just wake up tomorrow in the body I want to be in. But there are so many things I want to do, and I'm an impatient person. How do you cope with accepting the fact that it's not an overnight thing? It's especially discouraging because I'm still physically HUGE, despite having lost almost 100 pounds now. 100 pounds later and I'm only wearing clothes that are a size smaller? It feels like no matter how low the number on the scale gets, this is what I'll always look and feel like. I just want it gone. [link] [comments] |
| Starting over again (never give up) Posted: 05 Jun 2021 09:24 PM PDT 23M, 6'0 , SW: 403 GW: 203 Hello, to give some context I lost a bunch of weight in 2018 about 135 pounds as much as I can remember. I was 357 pounds when I started. Unfortunately I gained it all back and then some. Due to the fact various reasons I got to comfortable, I reverted back to bad eating habits and not being active, and as well as when i tried to become active again I was working a job that made me miserable and was very hard on my body. So going to the gym was sort of an after thought because of having to do 8 hours of hard labor. I felt miserable. All the work I put in I pretty much gone just like that. (this is pretty condensed and short version of my story but its the jist of it) Well as of last week I started a new journey. I weighed my self last week clocking in at 403 pounds on May 31st of this year (heaviest i ever been). As of posting this I weigh 388 pounds. I've been through the weight loss journey before and I know I can do it again. It will be a long journey but i'm up for it, nothing worth having does not come without hard work. I'm more motivated than ever and hope to inspire others that struggle with weight like myself. I definitely want to share my personal experiences and tips as well as share progress photos with you all. I also am open to tips myself as well as when I get down to my goal weight how do I maintain it and keep the weight off this time. I'd love to hear advice on this as well as tips on still being able to enjoy junk food but refrain on over indulging again. [link] [comments] |
| I’m a recovering binge eater, and I had a cancer scare a few days ago. Posted: 05 Jun 2021 10:18 AM PDT There's that. Luckily I wasn't kept in the dark for long – I got the results as quickly as possible, and they showed a precancerous condition – I'll take that over cancer, thank you. But because everything happened so quickly, I only started to process it a few hours after I got home from the clinic where I found out what was going on with me. I was shaking, wanted to cry, could barely stand on my feet, and most importantly, I wanted to binge. I wanted the comfort food could give me. Now, I haven't binged for a few months, and when I get cravings, it's usually for something like hummus or a steak, not junk food - which started tasting a lot worse ever since I improved my nutritional habits. Funny how much your palate changes when you adhere to a healthier diet for a while, I had this "eh…I don't actually like this" moment with almost every single thing that used to be my go-to binge food. Anyways, I went to the kitchen a few times that night, frantically looking for something to binge on, and I said no to myself every time. Yes, I deserved some comfort after going through something so traumatic, but it shouldn't come at the cost of all the progress I've made to get to this point. I've realized that denying myself that binge wasn't as hard as I thought, and that means I'm winning this battle. I've struggled with my relationship with food for so long. It feels incredible to see this improvement. So, my fellow recovering binge eaters - it does get better. I know sometimes it feels like it never will, but it does. Please have hope.

| Almost a year in, down over 100lbs! Posted: 05 Jun 2021 04:39 AM PDT Rewind almost a year ago I was over 370lbs as a former strong man. I was getting just all around just tired from being so heavy. One day it just kind of clicked I guess. I felt like my body wanted to be healthier. So I started dieting and changing my life style. Honestly nothing crazy as far as fad diets or crash workouts. Just maintained a calorie deficit while working out. Took up running and hiking. I've ran a couple half marathons. I've really been focusing on developing a healthier mindset towards food and personal health. Before it was have a bad day, it would turn into a bad week. Now it's completely different. I have no cravings and no cheat days really. I'm down close to 120lbs and almost to my initial goal maybe 30 more lbs to go! Sorry for the rant. I felt like sharing that here might help other stay motivated! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 11:52 PM PDT I'm 6'3 almost 280 lbs. 38 year old male. Can't seem to quit snacking , especially sweets and sugary drinks like fruit punch. Just a few years ago I was 230. I think the last time I played in a basketball tournament I was 230 (in 2014). The tournament my friend asked me to play in is on October 1st. Lately I have been having lower back pain and I think it might be because of my weight. I want to try to diet without going on keto, which is everyone's favorite way to lose weight quickly it seems. I am always hungry, though. I work second shift at a warehouse and when I get off of work I am super hungry even if I eat a big lunch at work. Since everything is usually closed when I get off I usually get fast food because it's the only thing open. I also have mild insomnia so I'm up pretty late most nights and have trouble getting restful sleep even when I do manage to get eight hours. How can I lose weight quick ? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 06:20 PM PDT *rule 7 disclaimer: I am not trying to recruit anybody nor would I gain anything from doing so. I'm just describing my personal choices. 26F, 392 pounds Last year during quarantine was the first time since high school that I successfully ate a healthy diet and sustained regular exercise, facilitated by weight loss and steps-per-day challenges that I signed up for on the app HealthyWage. My success lasted three months and I did lose about 35 pounds. Not amazing, but I proved to myself that I could do it since I literally thought I had fucked up my dopamine patterns and was no longer capable of changing my lifestyle. I grew a lot this year. I became a more confident and assertive person, my career is going well, I'm doing better financially and will be buying a house next year, and I'm volunteering in a field I had always dreamed of. I have some real friendships, which I haven't had for a few years. I also gained 25 of the pounds back. I have a fairly active job (teacher) and good health considering my size, but my food choices have been atrocious and the in-person teaching during a pandemic made my emotional eating worse. Once my vaccine immunity kicked in, my outlook on life got a lot healthier, and I successfully completed another step challenge these past two months. I really do love taking walks and having an active job, and I get like 5K steps just at work. Still, the food habits die hard. On June 1st, I made a decision. I am going to write down everything I eat and everything I spend for one year regardless how ugly the truth is. (For obvious and also some less obvious, shitty-childhood-experiences-related reasons, finances and food are pretty closely tied together for me.) I don't have a goal for the exact amount of weight I want to lose. My initial commitment was just to be honest with myself. Then I said fuck it and signed up for another weight loss challenge via the app. The main type of challenge they advertise is to maintain weight loss (whatever % you choose) over a period of at least six months. You put up money each month, and then you win the money back plus more, but you have to do your final weigh-in within the last two weeks of that time period. This is the challenge I ultimately failed last year. But they also have mini-challenges, where you commit to lose 4% of your body weight over a period of about six weeks. Those short-term extrinsic motivators are much more realistic for me, so I chose this challenge. I need to be under 376 pounds by July 11th. This is obviously not going to be a problem if I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. Hell, in water weight alone I'll probably drop like 5+ pounds the first week. The issue is maintenance, which again, I have proved to myself that I am perfectly capable of. I really don't even have a goal weight at the moment. I just want to build healthy habits, and for the next year my healthy habits are these: 1) I will write down everything I eat and the calories, even if it's a cheat day. 2) I will wait no more than two weeks after the end of one weight loss challenge before entering another. I will choose realistic goals for these challenges and not do anything that's going to overwhelm me physically or mentally. 3) Same with the step challenges. 4) I will post an update here every time a step or weight loss challenge ends, regardless of the result. I should point out that I'm not spending any money I can't afford to lose. Do I want to potentially throw $80 per month down the drain if I decide to turn into a potato again? Not especially. But I don't want to be nearly 400 pounds anymore either. [link] [comments] |
| Update: I didn't realize losing weight would cause me to have a mini identity crisis Posted: 05 Jun 2021 03:24 AM PDT I posted here three months ago about how weight loss caused me to question things about myself and how I felt. Here we are, a few months down the road and as of this morning I am sitting on the cusp of a healthy weight with my BMI resting at exactly 25.0. Although I still plan to lose another 15lbs or so to reach a weight that would be healthiest for me, I wanted to post a follow up to my last post as a sort of "celebratory" update to those who replied to the last one. A year ago I was heavily pregnant and probably about 235lbs. I'd wanted to be where I am right now for years, and stepping on the scale absolutely destroyed me. I hated going for OB check ups because my weight was a continual issue for my doctor throughout my pregnancy. I was bloated, embarrassed and ridiculously uncomfortable. They say pregnancy is the most beautiful experience there is, and it can be. But if I'm being 100% honest, I absolutely hated it. The discomfort was awful, and my last pregnancy was much worse than my first, which I'm sure was partly due to my weight. After I had my baby I immediately made small changes to my lifestyle, such as walking more per day. The weight began to come off, although much slower than I anticipated at first. I remember there was a point where the scale jumped back to 216 from 211 the week prior and I messaged my friend asking what the point even was because "obviously this wasn't going to work". She convinced me to think logically about the situation (I'm normally very rational about things but hormones after pregnancy are nuts!) and suggested I have my thyroid levels tested, since I do have a history of hypothyroidism and was previously on Synthroid in my late teens. The testing came back fine, and in the meantime I continued to stick to the plan I set for myself. It was water weight, it indeed came off and within 2 weeks I was sitting at 205. Fast forward to now. If I could go back one year ago and tell myself that I'd be sitting here literally .1 away from the coveted green area on the BMI scale I'm not sure if past me would believe it. This is something I've wanted for years, and yet looking back I'm not sure if I ever really believed I had the willpower to do it. There are times I feel like I definitely see all the changes, and then there are times I look in the mirror and see nothing different. Despite having lost quite a bit, I really don't have that much loose skin. A little bit on my upper thighs which I'm pretty sure is mostly fat and will probably shrink as I continue to lose, and some on my stomach which was expected since I've had two children. The skin on the upper arms is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, but there are stretch marks that are visible. They aren't noticeable unless you're looking for them and otherwise the skin itself is quite toned. I definitely do still have wide feet (a question I'd mentioned in my first post). It's very weird to me to see my collarbone so plainly. I guess I'd never realized how visible it actually wasn't until it was, if that makes sense. I never realized how much discomfort I was living with on a daily basis until now. When I stand up off the floor it doesn't take nearly as much effort. My knees don't feel nearly as much pressure when I push up from the floor. The other day I decided to do a plank for fun (it's not part of my general workout routine) and during it my toddler jumped on my back and I. Did. Not. Move. My arms didn't shake, I didn't feel strained and I was able to continue holding the plank as though there wasn't an extra 30lbs on my back. When I had attempted a plank at around 200lbs, I was not able to hold it longer than 15 seconds. It's getting hot where I live, and for years I always told people I couldn't tolerate heat. Anything above 75 and "I'd melt". Yeah. About that. It's been above 80 degrees for the past few weeks and I was surprised to find it doesn't really bother me. Sure, I get hot when I exercise but that's normal, obviously. The real amazement here is that I can lounge around and not feel like I'm flirting with the surface of the sun. There were even a couple days where I was actually cold. The AC in my home is set at 75, and I needed a (thin) blanket over me. I do have issues with chronic anemia, so I'm sure that plays a small part, but it's definitely a change considering when I was obese and anemic I would overheat just sitting on the couch. Last but not least, the commentary. I dont know why people feel like they need to comment on weight as much as they do, but apparently it's necessary for some people because it happens a lot. It drives me insane. I used to think I'd appreciate the compliments, but now that I'm receiving them all I can think is please make it stop. I'm finding most of said "compliments" are actually snide remarks laced with jealousy, ignorance or are just an excuse to be rude. It actually feels like I'm more sensitive about my weight now than I was when I was obese. I've had people tell me I'm too "thin", that if I lose any more they'll be able to see right through me, that I need to eat more because I'm "starving myself" if I don't fill my plate with pasta. Healthy portions, oh the horror! My personal favorite was on Easter when my uncle said I lost half of myself. That one sent me into the 'was I really that big?' mental spiral. I don't understand why people feel they must mention weight changes they notice in others. Not every thought one thinks should be spoken, but I digress. So I think that's about it. If you've made it this far, I'd like to apologize for the massive amount of text you've just read, and any applicable formatting/grammar/spelling errors. It's been a long year, and though I still have a bit to lose, tonight I'll go to bed knowing I'm a week or so away from a healthy weight. Dear past self, you do have the willpower, and you did it. Editing to add this: I am now over 40lbs below the weight I had lied about on my license lol [link] [comments] |
| I think I self-sabotage when I'm close to my goal because I'm scared of losing control Posted: 05 Jun 2021 07:03 AM PDT My weight has fluctuated ever since I was a kid and I grew up with the really toxic notion that I would be more valuable - prettier, more interesting, more likeable, you name it - if I was skinny. I've never been obese, but I've always yo-yo-ed between being overweight and having a healthy BMI (but still chubby). It seems like at the best of times, I'm always about 10 pounds away from my goal weight. I go through streaks of being really motivated and dedicated to reach my goal, of eating healthy and exercising in a way that is supportive of my mental health. But then, like clockwork, I fall off the wagon somehow. I either gain a few pounds, or I'm left at a standstill. I've always thought it was a sudden lack of motivation that caused it. But the more I've thought about it, the more I've realized that I think it's fear. I have spent the majority of my life romanticizing how much better my life would be if I was just 10 pounds skinnier. And I think I know deep down, that I'm so close to that goal, but that if I reach it and nothing changes, I will feel completely lost. Then what? I think I fall off the wagon, not because I've lost control, but because I'm trying to maintain control in some weird way. I don't really know where this leaves me, but it feels like an important realization and I wanted to share it somewhere. [link] [comments] |
| Will I (or anyone) ever notice my weight loss? Posted: 05 Jun 2021 01:14 PM PDT Today was one year since I weighed my absolute highest. I couldn't fit in chairs, my clothes were busting, it was painful to do most things. I went to the doctor for some blood work, saw the number and decided it was time. I have since lost 55 pounds. I am astonished. I'm proud of myself. When I started I had ~110 pounds to lose and I am now halfway there! I don't see it though. I can't find one spot on my body where I can notice that I've lost weight. I would think it's just me but only one single person has said anything about my weight loss. I know I don't know need anyone's validation but I'm having trouble finding the desire to keep going. If I could notice the change in myself I think it would fuel me but I'm not. How do I deal with this? Where can I find the motivation from? [link] [comments] |
| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Sunday, 06 June 2021? Start here! Posted: 05 Jun 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.

| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 02:44 PM PDT 24M SW: 232 CW:232 GW: 160 5'7. I have been around 20 pounds overweight most of my life until I was 21 and stopped playing tennis in college. I got started on depression medication and my weight has ballooned to what it is now. I just got back from a festival with my girlfriend and I'm sitting here feeling so disgusting at the food that I ate because all I eat is shit. It makes me feel terrible. Tomorrow that's finally going to change. I'm going to stick to a 1500-1600 CICO diet and get this weight off. I'm not getting any younger and am tired of being overweight. I have tried so many times to lose and it's never stuck but starting tomorrow it's going to. It's impacted too much of my life when I know with dedication and hard work I can change how my weight affects me in less than a year. Tomorrow is day 1 [link] [comments] |

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 5 Posted: 05 Jun 2021 03:37 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy Saturday! I hope you're all out there kicking ass! Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & remove moral judgement/stigma/shame directed at yourself about it: Logged this morning. Progress over perfection. 1800 calories (tracking in 5-day cycles, Friday/Saturday at maintenance): Didn't blow it up yesterday & I have room for a big dinner. Exercise 5 days a week: Oh losers, I had a lovely hike today. If y'all are familiar with Colorado, give Turkey Trot a google. It's been a wet spring so it was just beautiful. Two full hours of hilly hiking to start my day. 3/5 days. Alone time to word vomit into journal: Made some time for this & list making, should do more before bed. Todays gratitude list: I'm grateful for still learning stuff about my body. I pushed too hard today & the body unpleasantness could've been avoided if I hadn't been stubborn about how I was fueling my body. Don't let the deficit mindset lead to under fueling your body kids. That's how you end up feeling not fabulous. I'm also grateful for a resuming farmer's market. I got nice local honey & next weekend I'm taking my chefs knife to the sharpening booth. Huzzah for cut tomatoes instead of smooshed ones. Your turn kids! [link] [comments] |
| Has your weight loss changed the way you think? Posted: 05 Jun 2021 06:36 PM PDT I've dropped a lot of weight recently. I've never been that big but I've always been over weight. I'm a 22M and so far I've dropped 20lbs. I'm starting to notice things. I'm getting more comments my my size. My close family has always noticed small changes and eather complimented me or gave me a hard time. Now however people around me at my job and stuff are starting to say things. Before I didn't like people commenting on my weight but now I really like it. I've also noticed I been a lot more Sharp in the mind. I work with a lot of numbers at my job and I have gotten better and quicker. I also have not felt the need to take smoke brakes at work. I almost never smoke at home and now not at work. I've basically quit smoking without even trying. The last thing is the type of girls I'm attracted to. I know it's odd but it's true. Before I have always been in to girls with big boobs and butts. I've always preferred flat bellys with a bigger waist/build. Now however I'm more into tinyer girls with smaller boobs and small builds. I'm still into booty though lol. Tonight I'm taking a girl out who a few months ago I wouldn't have batted a eye at. She probably wouldn't have looked at me either. All of this is big motivation for me to keep going and getting to my goal weight of 180lbs. Have any of you experienced the same thing? [link] [comments] |
| 14 year old with 176 pounds wanting to lose weight Posted: 05 Jun 2021 07:47 PM PDT Hello! I am a 14 year old male that weighs 80 kg and with a height of 5'4. I have the genetics of my deceased father, which makes me fat. I know that this isn't a good excuse, but I got fat mainly because of my food addiction. Knowing what happened to my father, it really scares me that I might end up the same as him if I do not lose weight today. My country has rice as a staple food, so I plan to stop eating it. Which means that I will only eat meat and vegetables. Although thinking about what might happen, I am not sure if I can stay disciplined to my diet, and my daily exercise. That is why I am writing this, hoping that I can gain encouragement to stay disciplined, and hopefully lose weight. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 10:21 AM PDT So I hate shopping for clothes. Going into stores is excruciating as nothing fits unless I'm in a "fat store". I do almost all my clothes shopping online from "fat stores". I needed some new summer clothes as the stuff I have is worn and >5yrs old. So I ordered some linen trousers and T shirts in 2 sizes- the size I normally am and a size smaller. To my delight the "normal" size stuff swamped me and only the trousers from the smaller size fitted! I'm surprised (though not sure why as am working hard) and delighted! Husband and I are both doing low carb calorie counting. I did a detailed meal plan before we began and we don't deviate from it, so while I don't count calories daily I j is how much is in each meal. Snacks between meals are either a spoonful of full fat Greek yoghurt or a few some strawberries/ blueberries or some cucumber or celery. Strawberries are in season and delicious round here so trying to control myself with them but they're so darn good! I remind myself that they're better than chocolate but worse than nothing and so far it's working. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 08:59 PM PDT 30F, 5' 2", SW: 215lbs GW: 130lbs Hello. I am in need of some like-minded people. I don't have too many around me right now. I created this new reddit account and plan to keep this one focused on bettering myself. My heaviest was 260lbs last year, but I have been overweight or straight up obese most of my life. I made my way to 180lbs, but have slowly been creeping back up and I am so done with it again. My husband (30M) is creeping too but doesn't care to try again as life has been pretty stressful and crappy food and overeating has always been a bandaid for us. The rest of our family is heavily resistant to trying to be healthier as well. So it is me doing this for me and my 3 kids (12, 8, & 3). I have them with me pretty much all of the time so I have to consider them when it comes to food and exercise and pretty much everything else. Overall, we are not picky people. We like all types of food and try to stay somewhat active, but mostly we walk or bike around the neighborhood. We have been slacking as of late and need to get back in the habit. From you guys I need cooking tips, recipes (I'm not too skilled yet and not really a fan of cooking overall but am willing to learn), exercises, encouragement... Anything and everything is welcome. I'm on mobile so sorry if anything looks weird. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 10:52 AM PDT Currently at 42lb lost . Loving the process and so happy with the results. Today has been a massive success . 2 x Shaun t t25 work outs , house cleaned , 4x loads washing done , husband been pottering in garden , 2hour walk with amazing hubby . Plenty of vodka , an amazing vegan fake away for tea along with big bubble bath and film. All food and drink within my calorie allowance . Today has been an awesome day . To say I started this journey on 25th feb 2021 and prior to that I was in a horrific anxiety ridden head space ! Here's to another productive and positive day off tomorrow ! Thanks for reading !

| Weight Loss Communty Suggestions Posted: 05 Jun 2021 04:50 PM PDT Hi there! I'm looking for some weight loss community suggestions. Motivation has gotten so hard for me since the start of the pandemic and I'm looking for a way to incorporate this into my weight loss journey. I have looked into some things like Noom and weight watchers, but im looking for something that is mostly if not only community encouragement because I feel as though those services are too expensive for what I'm trying to get out of it (I have gained and lost weight before, and fell well educated on how, I'm just not doing what I need to do). I used a blogging site ages ago that no longer exists, but I found that somewhat helpful. Reddit groups seem like a decent option but I feel like I'd be bogging down a forum page by posting my updates... Any suggestions are welcome, please provide a bit of info for things you have tried yourself (if it costs anything and positive/negative points). Thanks! [link] [comments] |
