| now that I am normal BMI, the doc finally told me: “you were obese.” �� Posted: 11 Jun 2021 05:57 AM PDT She never told me, not once in 8 years, that I was obese. She always said very vague things like "are you exercising" and "try eating less carbs" She never even showed me a BMI chart or used the words "overweight" as far as I can remember. And I show up yesterday 40 lbs down ... and I hear the word for the first time "oh yes you were obese" !?!? Someone in another group pointed this out to me & my mind is still blown - that doctors won't tell patients they are obese because of the possibility of .... bad reviews !!???? WTF. It's not a sandwich shop or a shoe store. I am so so confused. To play devils advocate yes I am an intelligent person and maybe she assumed I knew how to find a BMI chart on my own? And yes, it was her pre diabetes diagnosis that started the whole happy journey of weight loss. But I had to figure it all out on my own (mainly with y'all & the intermittent fasting group).......buuuuuut isn't that what a doctor is for !? 🤔😭 [link] [comments] |
| Releasing Trauma Helped Me Lose 60+ lbs Posted: 10 Jun 2021 10:34 AM PDT I recently have lost about 60 pounds and am the smallest I've been since I was 21. I'm 35 now. I just wanted to share because I'm so proud of my progress. I feel like I've been battling my weight my whole life and this time, something was different. I have been so gentle with myself. I haven't been putting myself in a box like "keto", "plant-based" "weightlifter" "runner"..... I've just been me. I've been healing a lot of my traumas. Back in January, I watch a show on Netflix where this guy went to a trantric healer and she said "when you release your trauma, your weight will fall off". ITS TRUE!!!!!! Stare your shadows in the face, find out what they need, and the rest will come! You can do it! [link] [comments] |
| This needs to be said, and I’m not sorry Posted: 11 Jun 2021 01:04 AM PDT TLDR at the bottom. Now I am no dietician, doctor or medical professional. I also haven't been doing this health stuff for very long, so I do not claim to know it all. I do not have the answers, but I am old enough and smart enough to make this point. As someone who has been on the larger end for most of my life until recently I can understand the impact that someone's weight can have on them both mentally and physically. I am of the age (30) where we've gone from having nothing to everything at the touch of a button thanks to smart phones and social media, and I have seen the boom of Instagram. The number of actual children posting on this subreddit about their weight is worrying. As a teenager you're still very much developing and growing, and it's scary to see the number of under-16's who are posting about losing weight. I understand that some are obese and really do need the help, but these are few and far between. Kids - stop worrying about what you're seeing on social media, about how your friends look and about getting down to some crazy "ideal weight" because you are putting yourself at serious risk. Unless you are morbidly obese, let nature take its course and once that's done then start working on things. TLDR: this subreddit is becoming full of teenagers trying to fit an ideal created by social media and its worrying. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2021 06:53 AM PDT A couple months ago my boyfriend dumped me (F20) and I was absolutely devastated. None of the reasons he gave for the breakup had anything to do with my weight. In fact, he often told me he loved my big ol butt and thick thighs. One time we were having sexy times and I was super bloated so I went to turn off the lights but he touched my stomach rolls and said he loved them and how fun they were to play with like my butt and thighs. After lots of reflecting, I finally realized that a big reason I was so heartbroken was because I had lost someone who loved me when I didn't love myself. I hated my body shape. I'm pretty short at 5'2 and carry most of my weight in my lower half and face so I have a huge double chin. I also have a flat chest and was shamed for it by my mom who said guys won't like me for being so flat. Before this realization, I made desperate attempts to get my ex back because I felt like I could never find someone who loved me again. I kept thinking about how wonderful and confident he made me feel for the first time in my life. But after this realization, I decided that I wanted to work on loving myself so I wouldn't need anyone else to love me to make up for it. I wanted to be confident enough in my own body so I wouldn't be chasing after someone just because of the fear that no one else would love me again. I started eating better and working out daily. It was so hard at times but I haven't given up yet. I just lost 20 pounds as of this morning and I feel better than ever. I love my body because it's so strong. I can go on hour long walks without feeling tired and enjoy the lovely scenery. My old clothes are starting to fit again and I'm having a fun time creating new outfits (I've always loved fashion but at a higher weight I didn't bother to buy clothes I liked because I felt so ugly and wanted to hide my body). I still have another 30 lbs to lose but I am excited for the rest of the journey! [link] [comments] |
| I ate one piece of marshmallow toast! Posted: 10 Jun 2021 08:05 PM PDT Stats: 33F, 5'7", 214.4>168.6, goal is 139 It's been a tough night, but I'm going to bed proud. My period is about to start and my kids were on one tonight. I was ready to check out when I finally put them to bed. My daily treat is a piece of toast with melted peanut butter, chocolate chips, and marshmallows. It's my favorite thing right now. I make room for it in my calorie budget. Earlier in the day, I was so tired and frustrated with work, and all I wanted to do was to eat a piece of my treat toast. I had just eaten lunch, and I asked myself "are you hungry?" And the answer was clearly "no". To try to relax a different way, I took the dog for a walk. I felt better. After dinner, I made up 2 servings of my treat toast. I sat down with them at the table, no tv, and enjoyed 1 piece of it. It was so good. But I realized "omg. I'm fine with 1piece!!! I don't NEED 2!". I gave the other piece to my husband. I don't even regret it. I'm going to bed having met my calorie budget and not gone over. Old me would've had 3 pieces of treat toast today. I feel like a superhero!!!! [link] [comments] |
| I’ve lost 25 pounds and that’s nice Posted: 11 Jun 2021 07:18 AM PDT More or less it. I appreciate reading everyone's story on this subreddit. I'm losing weight because I don't want to die and leave my wife alone in my 50's (we're currently in our 20's and I already have high blood pressure). My SW was 251, and my CW is 226. I've always been active and fairly comfortable in my skin, but I'm terrified of abandoning my loved ones. Once I started cutting down to 1500 calories a day the weight started coming off, and it has been about 3 months now. This post is really for anyone else here who is happy to be losing weight, but might not have such strong feelings about the process. I sometimes eat a bit over my calorie goal, and that's perfectly fine. I'll keep at it until I hit 150, and then my plan is to count calories for a few years after to cement the maintenance eating habits. We can all do this one day at a time. [link] [comments] |
| I need a pep talk. Got off BC. Got sober. Dealt with trauma. Gained 30 lbs. I’m devastated. Posted: 11 Jun 2021 01:43 AM PDT This is going to be an emotional rant. Two years ago, I was in a really bad place. My ex husband kicked me and my two sons out. I rebuilt my life from nothing over the past two years... I have no family, no degree. I now have a net worth over $200K and college funds saved for my kids - to show how far I came. I read books every day. I'm in a healthy relationship. I'm also in therapy. I got off the IUD a year ago because it caused so much bleeding and cramping. Turned out I had a puncture. Once it was removed, I slowly started gaining weight. Covid also hit so I wasn't hiking anymore. I also stopped drinking alcohol, soda, etc. this includes the sugar free and diet stuff. Last month, I quit smoking weed because I don't need it anymore. I thought no more munchies = definitely would lose weight. I gained! I know I'm eating better too because I've switched to Daily Harvest (for the month) and only hit 1200-1400 calories. I swim for an hour every other day. I hike extensively. My social life is incredible. I am very happy with my life - but the weight keeps coming on. When I started my journey of divorce, I was 150 lbs (I'm 5'2"). Yesterday, I stepped on the scale and I'm 188 lbs. The only reason I got on the scale is because my clothes felt snug and I constantly feel bloated. It's 4:40am and I am so stressed out about this. I am opting for healthier choices and choosing myself but I keep gaining. I also have a partner who snacks on candy and chips, eats fast food several times per week (I don't join him and I have a rule not to do it in front of me) and I'm a little bitter that I'm the one dragging him to swim and hike - he has lost 20 lbs since being with me without even trying. My personal trainer wants me to get my hormones tested and this will happen within a week. I'm waiting for endocrinologists to call me back. So yeah, I'm in tears right now. All this work to get sober and in a good place but my body doesn't match where my mind is. Thanks for reading. [link] [comments] |
| I've been slowly flirting with the 260's for over a year, but now we're dancing. Posted: 10 Jun 2021 11:47 AM PDT I think I've been losing the same 7 pounds over and over again for the last year. I would hit 269, my lowest weight during this particular journey, and a celebratory cheat meal would derail me or some life event would make me spiral into old habits. I'm finally INTO the 260's. Weighed in at 266.5 today. This post isn't to talk about weight-loss tips or how to break a plateau or even how to get your mental shit together. This post is for every one of us who KEEPS TRYING. For every one of us who wants to say F$%$ it, maybe I'll just stay fat, but chooses not to. For every one of us who threw a pity party, ate the cake, and persevered on. For every one of us who wanted to yell into the night that it isn't fair. For every one of us who carried a sadness so dark inside that others couldn't understand about your relationship to your own body. For every one of us who has ever lost the same pound(s) again. And again. For every one of us who has had to propel themselves forward to continue. For every one of us who had to work on consistency over motivation again and again. And again. For every one of us who has struggled with their new healthy habits. For every one of us who caved and chose our old coping mechanisms, but was self-aware enough to know they would choose differently the next day. For every one of us who didn't quit. For every one of us who tried again and again and again. For every one of us who bet on ourselves when nobody else believed. We've been flirting, but now we're dancing. My hand is on your backs. I'll see you at goal. 💙✌ [link] [comments] |
| I took before pics today, y'all! I am so excited! Posted: 11 Jun 2021 07:47 AM PDT I am 5'3" Female and 190#. I have struggled with my weight for a long time. I graduated from high school in 2008 at 130#. I was a cross country runner for 6 years, track and field for 4, and voted most likely by my XC team to continue my fitness for the rest of my life. In college I basically stopped running and working out (I only did it occasionally) but my weight wasn't necessarily a problem because I walked everywhere and barely had time to eat most days. Fast forward to 2012, I am now 140#. I graduated college, married my husband, bought a house, and life progressed. I am ran over by the truck that is depression and I began emotionally eating. My weight slowly started creeping up. I developed a habit of hoarding junk food and eating way too much. In 2015 my husband and I decided we need to get back on the fitness wagon joined a local gym and honestly, did great. We worked out 3 days a week which was the sweet spot for us. We were both losing weight and getting stronger. It was amazing and I miss that feeling of accomplishment. Then, I got pregnant and I'm about 170#. I continued to work out and actually continued to lose weight (all was approved by my doctor). Then my husband got a job in a different city, we moved and lost the gym membership. After my son was born, my depression was much worse. I went through really dark time and all the while my weight kept creeping up. We moved again in 2017 to an apartment with a gym available for residents. But did I use it? Certainly not! We had our second child in 2018 and shortly after she was born it happened - I realized I had a double chin that I absolutely could not hide. At this point I was around 180#. I HATED being in pictures because there it was starting back at me. And then, I couldn't wear my wedding band anymore. At first it was only on certain days when my fingers would be swollen. Then one day I just couldn't get it on my finger anymore. I don't even remember when it exactly happened, but it's been at least 2 years since I've been able to wear it. I'm not sure what triggered it, but I am finally ready to do something about this. I've been thinking about it for years now and have had several false starts, but this time is truly different. It's hard to explain, but I just know it. I'm not sure what it is, it's probably a combination of things. It's the fact that next year is our ten year anniversary and ultimately, I would love to be able to wear my wedding dress again. Hell, I'll even settle for just the wedding band to start. It's a desire to show my kids a better example of being on top of my health. Maybe its the fact that I literally cannot wear pants because of my gut. We were invited to several weddings this summer, some of them for people I haven't seen for 6 - 8 years. All I could think was Oh, God. They're going to take one look and me and see how fat I am. And on top of that, the clothes I had that were appropriate for a wedding no longer fit me. I can't live like this anymore. I want to feel powerful and strong again. I want to run again! I miss it so much. I'm finally getting a handle on my depression. I'm ready to recognize myself in the mirror. I am ready to be happy about being in the pictures in the photo albums I've been making for my kids chronicling our family adventures. I'm ready to be able to pull anything out of my closet and be able to wear it without fearing it will be too tight. About two months ago my friend and I started walking together twice a week and I think that has been a great motivator. Before it was so easy to talk myself out of doing something, but now, she holds me accountable. I have to be there for her, I can't just skip out. I've started the walking with her, plus walking with the fam and the dog in the evenings, am doing light weight lifting and stretching and also focusing on eating the proper amount of food plus incorporating more fruits and veggies. It's baby steps, but I know me and if I overcommit myself, I'll just get burnt out. Hoping to drop a bit a weight before I work on incorporating jogging. Dropping 50# is going to take a long time I know, but I am so excited to get started! So yeah, I took before pictures today y'all! And I plan to post updates as well. You all have motivated me so I just want to say thank you for inspiring me. [link] [comments] |
| Trying so hard at gym in a calorie deficit and GAINING weight Posted: 11 Jun 2021 04:32 AM PDT I am so frustrated and close to giving up. I have been losing and gaining the same 3 pounds for 6 weeks now. I'm 224 pounds, eating 1600 calories or under every day. I do cardio and weight training 4/5 days a week and on my days off make sure I get my steps in. I'm doing everything right but I'm literally up weight every time I step on the scales and want to cry. I take pictures and measurements. Measurements are going down a little but honestly, not a lot over the last 5 weeks- and for someone who is this heavy and short I don't know why I haven't lost a single pound in more than a month. Can someone please help? I'm in such a high deficit for my maintenance, I've lost about 50 pounds since august and I'm feeling so discouraged and hopeless now. People who weigh less than me who I see on tiktok etc are losing 3 pounds every week WITHOUT EXERCISING and often on the same or more calories than I'm on. I just don't know what to do.

| Posted: 11 Jun 2021 03:18 AM PDT You don't necessarily have to sacrifice any foods, or food groups to cut calories. But you almost always have to sacrifice some flavour. It's better to sacrifice 20% of the flavour, than 100% of your favourite dishes though. Just small changes can add up in a big way. drop your starchy carb consumption, increase your veggie consumption. drop your red meat consumption, increase your lean protein (fish and chicken) consumption. Drop your butter and cheese consumption, increase your yogurt and omega 3 consumption. Drop your candy consumption, increase your fruit consumption. For me this is mainly in the form of modifying recipes. Before dieting; a bacon and cheese frittata with full-fat sour cream. Now; an egg-white, hot pepper, and mushroom omelette with greek yogurt. Before dieting; Dirty rice with ground beef, cheese and sour cream. Now; Beans and brown rice (or cauliflower rice) with fried plantains and greek yogurt. Before dieting; icecream. Now; greek yogurt w/ berries and granola. Before dieting; chips and dip. Now; popcorn w/ flavour shakers Before dieting; Pumpkin pie. Now; Pumpkin pie oatmeal. Before dieting; beef curry w/ rice and naan. Now; chickpea (or chicken) curry w/ so many veggies i dont need the rice. or add brown rice Before dieting; beef stir fry with white rice. Now; Tofu (or shrimp) stir fry with so many veggies i dont need the rice. Or add brown rice. What are some small changes you've made to your portions or to your recipes which have saved you some calories? [link] [comments] |
| 40 lbs lost and the dog helped me verify it! Posted: 10 Jun 2021 02:06 PM PDT F, 5'6", SW 254, CW 214, GW 150 I understand why they say "don't weigh yourself everyday," cause that surprise when you do can be out of this world! Since I wasn't in the habit of doing so daily anymore, it had been a while since I had stepped on the scale. Last I did, I actually felt defeated. Darn winter and not prioritizing my health made me backslide some. Today, on a whim, I thought "why not?" Stepped on the scale once - didn't believe it. Repositioned the scale and did it again - still didn't believe it. Called in the dog and held him on the scale to do the math and see if he comes out to his right weight. He did... so one more time on the scale - it really was true! Even though it was in the afternoon and I have had my lunch and plenty of water today, I hit the 40 lbs lost mark. Y'all? I'm pumped. The dog, however, may need to join me in my journey... [link] [comments] |
| Family keeps pressuring me to eat when I've been trying to cut back Posted: 10 Jun 2021 07:30 PM PDT I've been trying to lose weight for over a year now, and was doing pretty well in my own place with roommates. Now that my lease is up and I couldn't afford my own place, I had to move back into my parents' place. My family, especially my Mom, have been trying to get me to eat more than I've alloted for a given day, buy a lot of junk food on sale and bug me to have some, and keep making comments about how I'm starving myself. The fact is, I'm eating around 1500-1600 calories a day, weighing in at 195, trying to get down to 180 by the end of the year. I'd say that perfectly reasonable. What can I do to try and get them to understand that? [link] [comments] |
| Two weeks in and I seem to have plateaued… Posted: 11 Jun 2021 06:41 AM PDT Hi, I recently started a diet but I seem to have already peaked. I'm on a nutrisystem diet, day 12. The first week was great, I went from 288.6 to 278.4. I drank a ton of water and only exercised a bit, walking 3 miles a day. Week 2 starts and they bump up the calories per day to 1500. I've also increased my exercise to 5 miles a day walking and added about 45 minutes of weight lifting. In the last 5 days my weight has mostly stayed in the same range, at 277.2, 276.8, 277.2, 276.0 and this morning I was 277.6… The only food that's not packaged I'm eating per day are a half an apple, 1 cup of plain non fat Greek yogurt(which I measure), and a protein shake. At the most I'm eating 1400 calories a day. I guess I don't understand why I seem to have stopped losing weight under these conditions, that seems impossible, but it's a bit discouraging. Has anyone had a similar experience? [link] [comments] |
| Maintaining weight loss thru recovery from knee surgery? Posted: 11 Jun 2021 05:01 AM PDT Basically what the title says. I'm having ACL reconstruction surgery (second surgery same knee) and possibly Meniscus repair surgery on July 15. My biggest fear isn't the pain, it's the psychological toll of being bedridden and immobile, and also gaining my weight back. I've maintained a 100lb weight loss for a year, but I know I'm only succeeding in keeping it off because of how much I enjoy exercise and how intense I work out. I am always so goddamned hungry and I am afraid if the worst case scenario is my scenario (2 surgeries 4 months apart) or the most invasive surgery is my scenario (both ACL and meniscus) I will be locked down and immobile for long enough to undo progress. The only good thing in life when you can't move is food lol. Worst case scenario I'm non weight bearing for 4-8 weeks and then partial weight bearing, meaning basically zero cardio for 2-3 months. Plus I can't lift and carry plates for lifting. I've been told 8 weeks or so no cycling. I'm terrified I'm gonna gain it back post-op. Anyone else go thru similar shit? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Jun 2021 09:09 AM PDT **also posted in r/Motivation Last time I went to the doctor (January 2021), I weighed 277 pounds. I am at my heaviest in my entire life, and I'm only 25. I can't stand to see myself in the mirror, and I hate how I feel in my own skin. So I've made a single change, and I can already feel that even that one change will begin to snowball into other changes. A week ago, I cut out all added sugars. I started by looking through every food item in my apartment one by one, and I looked through their ingredients. With the help of several online tools, I came to the conclusion that everything - except for my plain oatmeal, coffee, heavy cream, and my milk - had some form of added sugars, and quite a bit! I realized all of my favorite foods were heavily filled with sugar, and in that moment I decided to start over. I donated or threw away everything that had added sugars in it. If it was open and I had eaten some, I offered to give it to my brother, and only after he declined did I throw it away. All non-perishable and unopened foods I dropped off at the local food bank. Then, I went shopping. I bought only fresh foods - fresh meats, vegetables, fruits, you name it. I looked at every ingredient on every single item that "looked good", and put it back on the shelf when I saw sugar (or any of its derivatives) listed. Then I portioned out my meats. I live alone, so half a chicken breast is more than enough when paired with other sides. For a whole week now, I've cooked all but ONE meal, and that one takeout I ordered was a steak and veggies I treated myself to after a particularly long work day with no energy. I had 3 or 4 days of what I've heard called the "diet flu", where I was very low energy, moody, and even had headaches. I've decided it was withdrawal symptoms from what I can now dub as my sugar addiction, and boy did I really want sugar in those days. But yesterday, 6/10/2021, I finally felt GOOD. In fact, since yesterday, I've felt better than I have in years! I can't sit still at my desk because I have so much energy. I bounce my legs and tap my fingers on my keyboard constantly, especially in the morning. I feel more awake and alert, and even though I get distracted by thoughts of what I need/want to do around the apartment, I'm able to push it aside and focus on my calls when they come through. I caught myself thinking about going for a walk outside. I haven't thought about doing that in a long time, especially while it's almost 100* outside! I get excited to get up and walk around the apartment on my breaks, and I do my chores more readily when time allows. Not to mention that my moods are already easier to keep in check. Last week I had several moments where I couldn't control my irritation and would have to mute myself on a call to groan and make comments. Yesterday I felt frustrated, but found I was able to take a deep breath and move on in the call. It lasted only a few seconds instead of an hour. I can do this. I can make the necessary changes needed to not only improve myself, but to love myself again. I can learn to cook, which I've already discovered I don't HATE doing like I told myself I did. In fact, I almost love it! I can find out who I really am when I'm not so busy using all of my energy by carrying myself and my weight around in my day to day life. I won't always feel this good, but with this written out, I can revisit it and remind myself of why I'm doing this. With this letter to myself, I can remind myself that I'm doing it to love myself and my body again. And, for future me: when you fall off the wagon and give in to that one little thing - and I know you will because I know you best - it's ok. Forgive yourself and move forward. Pick up where you left off because girl, you and I both know this is not the life we want. Be strong, but more importantly: be kind to yourself. This is tough, but we can make it through!

| please read this if you are a teenager at a healthy weight looking to lose Posted: 11 Jun 2021 08:41 AM PDT i've made a post like this before, but i can't seem to find it. please please PLEASE consult your doctor before restricting your food.dieting can have massive health impacts on teenagers. it can also easily become disordered. a bit under a year ago, i was in your position. i was 14 and not a fan of my body. i told myself i would be healthier and happier if i lost weight. i did. it wasn't enough.i spiraled into anorexia. here are some warning signs i should have taken more seriously. all of these things happened before i was underweight and all of them happened before i was eating a dangerously low amount of calories:
things got bad fast. i was hospitalized within two months of starting to restrict my food. please be careful. i'm more or less recovered now, but this illness has had and continues to have an enormous impact on my life. again, i urge you to consult a doctor before making any changes to your food or exercise, and especially before restricting your food. and if they tell you that you don't need to lose weight, listen.

| Posted: 11 Jun 2021 04:18 AM PDT 20f, 5'8, 10st 7lbs So I've been thinking about posting here for a while but my recent weight gain has pushed me to do it. I just can't find the motivation to start to lost weight and workout again even though I know I felt amazing when I was doing it 6 months ago. I've lost 3st in the past and don't want to put it back on again because I was miserable. I really struggle with self control and need someone to keep me accountable while I get back into better habits. I was hoping to find someone who is able to swap food trackers each day and preferably someone who could help motivate me to workout again as I've really enjoyed it in the past. Gaining 7lbs has really started to affect my self confidence and mental health and I want to change that before I spiral and gain even more than I have. [link] [comments] |
| Any of you larger/sedentary people work in a warehouse setting? How difficult is it? Posted: 11 Jun 2021 05:39 AM PDT So I haven't weighed myself in a while, but I'm willing to bet I currently weigh around the ~400lbs mark. I currently work in a very sedentary job, and live a very sedentary lifestyle. I work as a vet assistant for exotic animals, but my primary job focus is answering phones / dealing with client communications, so there isn't much physical activity involved. I'm looking for a new job, and Amazon pays really well in my area, as well as offers sign on bonus, benefits that I don't currently have (Health, vision, dental, etc-) and the hours look nice. I've been considering applying for a while now, but I always go against it, thinking I'm too fat and not active enough to keep up. Do any of you guys work in a warehouse setting like this? Does anyone work at Amazon specifically? How difficult is it? Any advice you can offer if I DO decide to apply? [link] [comments] |
| Why am I losing so much strength while losing weight? Posted: 11 Jun 2021 05:18 AM PDT 25M. 292>177, 6ft. I'm at a healthy weight but want to lose about 10-20lbs more depending on how I feel. I don't look like I have loads of fat but I have a lot of loose skin and I want to have abs and under 10% body fat. I fast, so every few weeks I do a 3-7 day fast. On other days I eat normally, usually around 1800 calories a day. I've noticed my lifts in the gym getting much worse in the past couple of months as I've gone from 200 to 177. I used to bench 95kg now my max is 85 and I struggle with it. I feel like this strength decrease is way more than it should be? I'm almost at my ideal body weight, surely I shouldn't be this weak.

| Has anyone ever lost weight a second time? What did you learn? Posted: 10 Jun 2021 02:18 PM PDT Hi all, I'm an old member here but lost my first account. I'm 5"3 and in my last weight loss journey I went from 196 pounds (89kg) to 121 pounds (55kg) over the course of a year. I really enjoyed my journey the first time around. Unfortunately, I got pregnant around 7 months after finishing my weight lost and gained it all back. I'm now starting over from 191 (87kg) and looking forward to making my way back to 121. I was wondering if anyone else here has done this twice and what they learned from doing it a second time that was different from the first? It feels cool to hit the ground running knowing what worked for me last time and what pitfalls to avoid. I didn't excercise last time and ended up with weak muscles so I'll fix that this time around. I also am mentally better prepared for plateus and fluctations. Looking forward to hearing from my fellow losers <3 [link] [comments] |
