| I HATE that so many social activities are centered around drinking/eating. Posted: 15 Jun 2021 01:06 PM PDT For some context, I'm currently in my mid twenties and these past 6 months I've went all in on fitness and losing weight. I've given up alcohol completely and try to keep going out to dinners at a minimum. I've always hated drinking alcohol and this was the perfect excuse to go cold turkey. Meanwhile, my friends drink to excess. I'm talking about shots for everything, we can't even play a board game unless it's for shots. Whenever we go to dinner - they order to excess on top of 3-4 drinks per person meanwhile I try to find a healthy entree and sip an iced tea. Their reaction to me not drinking and not eating as much is to stop inviting me to places and that just hurts my fucking feelings. Especially in my state where everything is open. They go clubbing, eat, and drink a lot while I don't. I've brought this up to them before and their argument was why invite someone who won't partake in the activities like we do. I'm chalking it up to being in your twenties and immature but it doesn't sting any less. Anyways just wanted to vent, can we go hiking instead? Edit: I really appreciate all the comments that've been left so far. I've always known in the back of my head that I've outgrown my friends. But having been friends since elementary school - I'm too scared to let them go/put myself out there to meet new people. I think it's time... [link] [comments] |
| Lost more than half of myself. Thank you r/loseit for strenght and inspiration Posted: 16 Jun 2021 01:23 AM PDT The title almost says it all. I wanted to thank you all for helping me to get where I am now. When I joined, it was kind of a last shot I was willing to give to my weight loss. I kind of accepted myself, the way I was, I wasn't depressed about it, more like resigned. At that point, I have tried everything I could think of, but to no avail. As a healthcare professional, I knew exactly, what I was doing to myself, how I am slowly killing myself. Just a simple blood test always got to me, since I've seen I'm slowly getting worse. It wasn't that bad at first, sure, I was (or still am I hope) young, so my body was dealing with everything well, but it can't do it forever. At first, my blood pressure was high, my pulse was in triple digits from simply walking a few steps. Then, my cholesterol was getting worse. I started taking blood pressure medication. Then my uric acid levels were high. Started taking medication for that. I was already taking medication for my thyroid. My blood sugar was really on the line (or a tad over) for a couple of times and my doctor started discussing medication for that. At my highest weight (and lowest point in life I would say) I weighed 195 kg (~430lbs) and basically everyone thought I was at the point of no return, myself included. My parents were the ones most worried about me. It really hit me, when my father asked me, whether I wouldn't consider quitting my job and go to a clinic of some kind, to get help, because it's obvious I can't do it myself and if I don't do something, I wouldn't live past my thirties (well, I knew he was right about the last part of it at least). Me being the pigheaded person I am, I decided I'm going to show everyone, I can do it by myself. Give it one last shot, really try. I ordered scale with high weight limit, since the one at home wasn't enough for me. In a meantime, I did research just about everywhere, from scientific sources, to Facebook, reddit or recipe books. I knew had to reach calorie deficit to lose weight, so I decided to check, how others did that. I found this subreddit and read so many inspirational stories, helpful tips and just general words of encouragement, I knew that I don't just want to, but I CAN do it. I may not be very active poster (it's hard to express everything in words sometimes), but I sure read everything I can and it is helping me with my journey. So when my scale arrived and I stepped on it, it was a huge slap across my face. I knew I was big, but I wasn't aware I was THAT big. I'm quite tall for a woman (178-180cm; ~ 5'10-5'11), but at 195kg (~430lbs) my BMI was over 60. But hey, everyone has to start somewhere. The journey wasn't easy. It was pain, it was sweat, it was training of my will for sure. There were times I was so angry and felt so defeated, when after so much work, my scale number just wasn't moving, or went slightly up. I knew all about water weight, hormones and so on, but hey, sometimes it just doesn't help, you know? :D But consistency is the key, you have to stick to what you're doing and results will come. As of today, I'm proud to say that after about year and a half I now weigh around 89kg (~196lbs) and in just 2 days, I'm having the excess skin from my belly removed. I couldn't be happier, I've never been more energetic, I've never felt this.....well healthy. I'm almost medication free (only pill a day for my thyroid). And I sure wouldn't be able to get here, without your inspirational stories and help. So again, thank you r/loseit and please, wish me luck on Friday :) As a little bonus, here is my before/after pic, where on the left, I'm at my highest weight and the one on the right is couple of weeks old.

| I’ve lost hundreds of pounds…same fifty pounds six times. Starting…again. Posted: 15 Jun 2021 12:44 PM PDT I was a chubby kid. Fat teen. Got in decent shape halfway through college. I felt great. Fell in love with cycling, weights 3-4 times a week, and ate very clean. Lightened up on how clean I ate and kept cycling. Hit ~195 lbs as 6'2'' male. Then fell out of cycling and the pounds crept up. Dropped some of the pounds in bursts of working out 2-3 times but somehow I hit ~285 lbs. Got serious and lost ~fifty pounds before my wedding back to ~235 lbs maybe. Gained it back slowly and dropped another fifty again four years later - but this time I crept up to about three hundred pounds so I only dropped to ~245. Gained it back slowly and dropped to 265 before first kid was born. Gained it back slowly and dropped it again before second kid was born. I mean I know what to do. I'm an expert at losing weight. I just can't seem to maintain healthy habits once I lose the weight. And it's weird - I actually like some pretty clean food. I enjoy basic oatmeal made with almond milk for breakfast, I genuinely love simple meal prepped chicken/rice bowls for lunch, I have no problem pounding a gallon of water a day, once I get into it I love working out and I genuinely love cycling. But somehow once I hit that goal weight….I just slowly start slacking off in each area until suddenly I'm not cycling or going to gym, I'm downing three bowls of cereal for breakfast and eating a whole pizza for dinner. So here I am again - the fattest cyclist in the world back to lose the same weight all over again. I'm genuinely getting too damned old for this. I'm in my thirties now and I can already tell this is a hell of a lot harder than it was just before COVID when I dropped weight. I've got a vacation in July and another in October that serve as markers for my ten and forty pound goals. But after I get the weight off this time, I'm going to have to come up with some kind of serious maintenance plan because I can't do this again. I just can't. I'm thinking of something like basically doing a weigh in once a month and if I've gained more than ten pounds and don't get back under a certain weight within a month, I have to deposit $1,000 into my niece's college account. I'd basically have my (much healthier) brother keep me accountable that way. Idk if that's the solution, but that's all I've thought of so far. I just know I have to lose it and maintain it because I can't do this shit again. I've been slowly getting back into weights and biking over past ~3 months as my wife was working hard at losing weight. But my heart wasn't in it bc I had some mental block holding me back. But I did drop ten to fifteen initial pounds (~320 SW vs ~305 CW). Anyways. I really started this week. Oatmeal made from almond milk for breakfast with blueberries. Either a CFA chicken sandwich or meal prepped chicken and rice bowl for lunch, and healthy dinners cooked by wife. Got one of those gallon water bottles and targeting drinking that each day. Seventy cal protein yogurt for snacks. Hitting cycling harder. To enter the top of healthy BMI range, I have another ~115 pounds to go (190 ultimate goal weight). I would like to hit 290 by July and 260 by October. From there, I just want to slowly and consistently keep working at it to lose the rest and maintain it for life [link] [comments] |
| Before getting discouraged, consider that your body might be holding onto water weight Posted: 15 Jun 2021 07:11 PM PDT I commonly see posts of discouraged people freaking out that the scale hasn't moved (or maybe the scale even jumped up a few pounds) despite days or weeks of dieting. Then in the comment section someone tells them that they need to count calories better, and that if the scale is moving up then they must be not counting calories properly...or even accidentally cheating on their diet. Consider for a moment that, your diet is working...really well actually, you are burning fat....but your body is just holding on to some excess water for one of many possible explanations. If you know you are doing everything correctly, I encourage you to not get frustrated and to give it a few more weeks and see what happens. Edit: BTW, water weight isn't bad and is natural. Don't try to troubleshoot it. [link] [comments] |
| Had a terrible encounter yesterday Posted: 16 Jun 2021 01:02 AM PDT So, I took off my hoody and a very close family member absolutely berated me for my appearance. Like the worst insults possible - that I looked terrible, anorexic, skin and bone.. that I need to be setting a good example for my toddler, I should put my hoody back on and cover that up... etc. My feelings are beyond hurt. I am so demotivated today and don't even want to do anything. I'm 5'1 and 57kg right now (i.e nowhere near underweight). I was in the class 2 obese BMI category 15 months ago and nobody cared about that enough to mention it to me. All of a sudden with 5kg to go to my goal weight, everyone is concerned. It makes me feel so self conscious that people think I look like shit. I've worked really hard on my nutrition and fitness to get to this point. I run 6 times a week maximum (up to 10k distance and have done two half marathons). I also eat an average of 1600-1900 calories a day. I wish I didn't have to justify this. I spent long enough obese and unhappy. I'm no longer allowed to mention anything to do with my health and fitness to this particular close family member. They raved about it loud enough that all my other family members heard and it was in front of my little girl. I didn't expect this. I'm trying to figure out how to pick myself up from this and keep on going because I genuinely feel sad and depressed today. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 15 Jun 2021 02:32 PM PDT I (25f) am around 230 pounds and I'm just 5'3" sooo you can see the problem there. And I wanna lose weight because I feel physically uncomfortable moving in my body. Not cause it's painful but it just feels weird. I've always been big but this is my highest weight. I also wanna lose weight cause i think it would make me more confident. I won't be worrying if I stretch will my belly pop out of the jeans I tucked it in or if my arm flaps will jiggle. I won't be afraid to run and try new activities because less people would make fun of me if I fail as a skinny woman rather a fat woman. And many other things. But I hear time and time again from people that losing weight won't help with your self esteem and that if you have low self esteem or a crap body image from while you're fat that that's going to translate when you're skinny and you're gonna find something else to hate. So I'm sitting here like..... So what's the point then??? I mean yeah health duh lol. But a lot of people 's need to lose weight comes majorly from an aesthetic POV and I'm embarrassed to say I'm one of those people. I'm split 40/60 for why I wanna lose weight and the 60 is for how I look. I don't know. For the people who've lost weight, did you really not get anymore confident? [link] [comments] |
| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Wednesday, 16 June 2021? Start here! Posted: 15 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.

| What *should* have been a wake-up call for you, but wasn't? Posted: 15 Jun 2021 08:19 AM PDT 2 years ago, I posted this question on this subreddit and got some fantastic discussion. Now I'm back, having gained back what I lost and struggling with some self-hatred, and so I thought I'd ask it again to all the newbies who might have joined since then!

| Taking that first step, again. Posted: 15 Jun 2021 10:00 PM PDT My life has never really been the poster child of a healthy relationship with food or positive eating habits. I'll be the first to admit I'm a foodie, (always have been) and I also prefer convenience to copious amounts of planning and effort. As a result, I've started and restarted and adapted to every diet, lifestyle change, program etc under the sun and always managed to look back on it with nothing but another failure and somehow an even higher scale reading to show for it. This starting from square one thing? Been there. Done that. Not sure I can even call it square one anymore. I've circled this block more times than I can count and am currently at my all time highest weight. So why am I looking forward to starting again tomorrow morning? Well, because I'm starting again tomorrow morning. I get that I'm basically living the definition of insanity, but I also know that resigning myself to slow and steady weight gain is not an option. My daughter is still young enough to have not picked up my horrible eating habits and I don't ever want her to. I want to take her to the park without getting winded. I want to go back to Saturday morning dance parties in our pajamas without having take a break two songs in. I want that beautiful 5 year old to see her mom as a role model and not a prime example of "what not to do." So, with the support of my friends, husband, and a kick-A physician, tomorrow hopefully marks a significant turning point in my life. Congratulations, internet strangers. If you've read this far, you have officially been added to my support roster. Let's do this! SW: 345lb [link] [comments] |

| My girlfriend is struggling emotionally with her weight and I need advice Posted: 15 Jun 2021 04:44 PM PDT I have been with my gf for 5 months now. But, she has just expressed something new and it froze me and I need advice on how to handle and take care of her: She is overweight and she is fine about it: She's 1.69m (5ft 5) and 90 Kg (198 lb) What struck me now is that she broke down emotionally, and while doing so she discovered that deep down inside of her, she was "Ashamed" of being seen in public with me and embarrassed of holding hands with a thin guy... What can I do to make her feel better and get past this issue? ty. TL.DR: my overweight gf is feeling ashamed of being with me cause I'm thin. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 15 Jun 2021 01:07 PM PDT So I've been struggling to get back on it, telling myself I need to sort this and that first, but this morning I saw a post from someone my exact height (5 foot 7.5) talking about the lower boundary of a healthy weight for our height - 130lb - which is almost half of what I weigh now. So! That was a bit of a shock. I've recorded everything I've eaten today, had some surprises I needed (May sound stupid but I didn't realise QUITE how many cals are in half a tub of Ben and Jerry's!). I've still gone massively over the 2000 I'm currently aiming for, but I've done more than I intended to this morning - recorded everything in MFP, did 15 mins on my stationary bike, thought about healthier options I can get from the shop tomorrow. In the morning I'll weigh myself (expecting to be 240lb ish) and try to make some good choices! I'm going on holiday in three weeks and although I know that's not long enough to notice a change, hopefully I'll be feeling a lot better about myself. [link] [comments] |
| Want to permanently end an unhealthy relationship I have with about 30 pounds Posted: 15 Jun 2021 10:15 PM PDT I am 41F, 5 foot 2.5 inches, with a current weight of 130 pounds. My goal weight is about 120 pounds. Over the past 20 years I have probably lost and gained the same 30 or so pounds about 4 or 5 times. I lose the weight, keep it off, hovering around the 120-125 mark for a few years then things in life change and my weight creeps back up and stays up for a year or so until I get really sad about it and then lose it again. When I'm in a losing weight mode I find it's like a switch goes on in my head and I can focus on it. When I'm not in this mode I make ridiculous choices. Last year, before Covid hit, I started losing weight and during the lockdown went from 147.5 pounds to 118 pounds, in about 5 months. I found the first lockdown great for losing weight and it really helped me focus on eating well and exercising. My country was in lockdown again at the start of this year and unfortunately I did not have as good an experience and my weight began creeping back up and I slipped into some bad habits again. I'm now 130 pounds and I'm stepping on the brakes of bad eating and focusing again before I am back at being 150 pounds. My question is how do I break this cycle? I don't want to keep doing this break up-make up thing forever. I also know that as I get older, hit menopause etc it's going to be harder to lose weight. When I'm losing weight and at the start of maintenance I am highly focused, track food and exercise and then I eventually get fed up doing that and that's when my problems begin and I start into bad habits. I think of these 30 pounds as an unhealthy on again-off again toxic boyfriend and I want to dump him forever but he keeps insinuating himself back into my life! Do I just need to track my food forever? Any advice or tips from people who have experienced something similar would be appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 15 Jun 2021 09:56 PM PDT So I (20F) struggle with binge eating, and while keto has worked for me in the past it was just not sustainable for me. But recently I have cut out breads, pasta, rice and any grains. But I've kept some things like fruits and yogurt. This has given me much more energy and I actually don't feel restricted at all, but so many people have told me that eating low carb is pointless if it's not keto. And when I go online to do research about cutting carbs I see tons of articles about keto lol. I'm not trying to bash it because I think it's great and has helped so many people and I hope one day it works for me but for now, will eating the way I do still help me lose? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 15 Jun 2021 10:45 PM PDT Hello! I am kind of new to committing to losing weight, and I have a question. I have been dieting for almost a month now with a few cheat days (this is the longest I've ever gone!), and I do notice some changes around my stomach area, meaning I am not as bloated and I think my muffin top has gotten smaller. However, I don't really see any changes in my face. I really do want to lose weight in my face as well, but how long does it take to notice? Am I just being impatient? Also, I KNOW I am being impatient about this part, but how long do muffin tops take to go away? Is it also more dependent on exercise or food intake? I don't really have that big of a muffin top but I definitely notice it and totally want a flat stomach. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| What are you doing with alcohol drinking? Posted: 15 Jun 2021 05:00 PM PDT Hey everyone! So, I'm being in a very good calorie balance to lose weight, and I'm doing pretty well, the problem is that I have sometimes evenings with friends and I really want to drink some beers, and some shots. I know that it can make my calories to go up a lot, and that can be in even a day I ate more that I should, before I knew I will go out to drink.. What can I do about it? Should I just eat less in a days I'm planning to hang out? I also have the weekend's that makes it harder for me to track my calories and causing me to eat more .. I would love to hear any tips: thoughts.. Thanks and all the best! [link] [comments] |
| Struggling to get back on track Posted: 15 Jun 2021 09:09 PM PDT Hey guys! I've been trying to loose fat/weight for a while and was doing very well up until a few weeks ago. For starters I am about 84 kg and 1.80 M long. I started going back to school and it takes me 1.5 hours to get there from my home. So I have to wake up really early and I have long days from 8-17. I always go to the gym straight after school and lift weights. Anyway I used to walk alot and do a lot of cardio but after being quarantined for about 3 weeks and for 1 week I was very ill i just stopped. I also broke up with my girlfriend back then. All of that combined gave me a rough couple of weeks. And I gained a bit of weight. And recently my energy feels so low all the time. While I used to be able to do a lot of things and this tiredness effecta my school too. I am struggling to get back into it I can't seem to push myself do the cardio/ watch food. [link] [comments] |
| Advice for husband supporting wife on her weight loss journey Posted: 16 Jun 2021 02:44 AM PDT Hi there I need some help here. my wife has been battling weight over the last couple of years and I'm not sure what else to do. About my wife:
I know that there's a lot contributing to her weight gain here but even on weeks that she does everything right she hardly loses a couple of hundred grams. It's frustrating to say the least and I'm not sure what to do anymore. The only thing that's coming to my head is meal planning, cut sugar and salt completely and make her stick to a food plan. It's a bit hard with kids in the house - and she's got a problem with other people telling her what NOT to do - but it's the only thing I can try. She saw a doctor, did all the exams to see if there's anything wrong with her organism and all seems well. Help. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jun 2021 08:39 PM PDT I've been going to crossfit now 5x/week. I've also been using an app to calorie count. The app set my count for 1200 calories/day in order to lose weight. I was able to start under or near the 1200 calorie mark for the first week but it's been getting gradually harder. This week is almost impossible. I'm constantly thinking about eating and it's stressing me out. Also, I find if I don't eat a bit of a larger meal before going to the gym, my workout sucks. I for sure am building muscle, that I can tell but I am not loosing any fat... Should I just try to work out more so I can eat more (I was thinking about trying to do yoga the other two days I'm not at crossfit - the gym is closed those days) or is there a way to make myself not hungry? (Also, I'm 163, 5'6: trying to eventually make it down to 132) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jun 2021 08:06 PM PDT I've been focused on my weight loss since the beginning of February, and I've done well, but for the past month I'm completely stuck. I watch my calories and eat very clean during the week, but drink alcohol and indulge a bit on the weekends. I also intermittent fast 18:6 generally. The scale is stuck. I'm 20 pounds away from my goal weight, I'm so close to the finish line. Why are those last pounds so damn stubborn? Any advice to break this plateau? INFO: I'm 27, 5 10" female SW: 185 CW: 168 GW: 150. Doing 1,350 calories 5 days a week, and on weekends I'm cautious but don't count. I try to relax a bit around food and drink, it makes it sustainable for me personally. [link] [comments] |
