| [Vent] Lost 80lbs and just found out I can't get loose skin surgery ☹️ Posted: 04 Jun 2021 06:54 PM PDT Just a bit of a rant. I lost 80 lbs and am a normal weight. Have 20 more to go until I am no longer skinny fat. I just found out I can't really get loose skin surgery due to a potential propensity to form keloid scars. It sucks. I saved up for the surgery, I lost so much weight, and now I have to live with the fact that I'll probably have saggy skin on my stomach forever. Goodbye, dating pool, I guess? I'm 25M. I've had lifelong obesity and was really looking forward to finally looking decent. Now I can barely muster the willpower to lift weights anymore because I know that if I lower my bodyfat percentage and build muscle I'll just have a bunch of saggy skin that I can't fix. Edit: IDK why this was downvoted 😕 Edit 2: Thank you all for the outpouring of support! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 03:50 AM PDT Xposting this from r/MadeMeSmile, was suggested to post it here. Comparison pics https://imgur.com/CJaAPOY Story: In December 2017, my marriage ended suddenly with my ex leaving (I won't go into specifics but it rhymes with heating) and sent me to the lowest point of my life. I had already started trying to lose weight and had lost about 5kg at the time but being depressed and upset led me to not eating for a month. I looked at food as the enemy and the sight of food made me sick so I drunk water only for a month till my brother stepped in and forced me to eat something. I started at 305kg (672lbs) and I'm currently around 160-165kg (352lbs-363lbs) at 6'4. Majority of my weightloss was done with keto, intermittent fasting and making sure I was in a calorie deficit. Cardio from walking my dog and gym 6 days a week got me to this point. I'm now booked in for skin removal surgery in November this year, upper body only since it's a 12 hour surgery. I'm super excited to start a new phase of my life and properly get into powerlifting. Bonus face gains pic https://imgur.com/roOnEFO First pic is me at 26 and second is me about a month ago (I'm 35 in September). All in all I just want to say that I always thought I was too far gone and that losing weight wasn't worth trying again. But I did it, I stuck to it with the determination to just be a better me. If you feel like you can't take me as proof as you definitely can. If you started, you're already succeeding. Edit: I just wanna say thank you so much to everyone for their kind words and encouragement. I hope that my journey can inspire you to start yours or stay the course. It's definitely worth it!

| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 07:05 PM PDT tl;dr: Couldn't help myself, had trouble controlling my impulses. Diagnosed with ADHD, meds help control impulses. I've been visiting this sub for a while now and I constantly kept reading posts from people saying "It's possible to do what I did, you just have to try hard enough", and I believed it. I tried to motivate myself, to remind myself to eat healthier, eat less, but nothing worked. I read articles, tried to read books, read post after post, watched videos but it somehow never ended up working out. I would about to eat out and tell myself that I am not going to get soda. I'd get to the counter, and ask for a soda, even though a millisecond ago I had just told myself that there was NO WAY I was going to get soda this time. I'd cook food and tell myself that I will only eat half and save the other half for later, but I'd end up eating it all. The problem? Turns out I've got ADHD. I have a problem controlling my impulses. I got prescribed the lowest dose of adderall, and it's been much easier to say no to myself and not get that coke, and not get that extra food. Or if I have extra food, save it for later. I still do it, rarely, though it seems that now it's out of habit. Working on that. I just wanted to share this in case some of you are struggling with the same issues that I am. Just to be clear, if you are having trouble losing weight, it doesn't necessarily mean you had adhd and need medication. It's hard to describe just how hard I tried to make it work, and people suggested that I see a doctor for ADHD about 2 years before I actually did, because I didn't want to believe I had it. It's also not impossible to lose weight without meds, but I think it makes it monumentally harder. Before anyone says anything, I know for some adderall supresses your appetite, but I don't find that to be the case for me. I am on the lowest dose, 5mg, and I still get hungry, but I don't end up eating when I am bored and not hungry like I used to before. Also, I still don't like taking medication, and I am trying to build good habits so habits override impulses so I can get off the meds. Besides my weight issue, I've been able to manage everything else alright without the meds. Adderall makes working easier too and with less distractions, and while I can be more productive while working, my work was satisfactory before, so I don't need to rely on adderall to function.

| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 05:47 PM PDT My entire life I was always told that because of my genetics, I could never be skinny. I was even told by doctors. And because of that, I thought that always meant I was doomed to be fat. I decided enough was enough. June 2020 I stepped on a scale, and saw that I was 303 pounds..at 15. This scared the crap out of me, and I could suddenly see my entire future life. I saw myself at 600 pounds, constantly binge eating and being super depressed. It motivated me and I went to 303 to 257. My weight loss stopped in November 2020. Personal reasons, not a good support system. Well now I'm 280. I feel like shit. These past few days I've been trying to lose some weight and I'm currently 276.4. So yay I guess. I don't really have a lot of confidence in myself, since I still live with the person who made me fail last time and he's only gotten worse. I am a bit motivated though. Barely. I wanna feel confident in my body, and I really wanna get rid of my double chin. Has anyone else gone through this? Lost weight and then gained a lot back and then tried again? How can I stay motivated without going back into my ED? [link] [comments] |
| An unexpected moment of validation Posted: 04 Jun 2021 12:44 PM PDT I've posted about my weight loss on Reddit before. I started losing weight almost exactly two years ago and ended up losing around 60 pounds (F, 5' 5", SW 175 lbs, CW 118 lbs). I got my butt back into strength-training and currently have a visibly fit body (AND I CAN DO PULL UPS, Y'ALL). I was at a new gym today and the trainers there kept looking at me. Not in a way that made me uncomfortable, but they were definitely looking. When I took a break and walked over to the sanitisation station (where two of them were standing), they started talking to me. "Are you a personal trainer?" One of them asked. I swear to God, I nearly fainted from the pride that I felt in myself right then and there. But there was more. They told me my form was impeccable. That my workout was so dynamic and they were really appreciating the fact that I was doing great at it. When I told them that I have only been training for 15 months and that too almost exclusively at home, they actually couldn't believe it. I don't even think they were just being nice (I would usually think that when someone would compliment me). I think they actually meant these things. I feel so validated and so proud. 2 years ago, I was fat and depressed and got out of breath walking 1500 steps. Today, I killed it in a gym enough that I impressed the trainers there. I can die happy now. That's all. [link] [comments] |
| Had a slightly over maintenance day instead of a full blown f*** it day Posted: 04 Jun 2021 07:47 PM PDT 28F SW 168 CW 137 GW 130-135. I lost 30 lbs back in April 2019. I gained about 10 back from my lowest weight & was at about 142-145. Considered that a win with the pandemic 😂 Just started back on stricter CICO about a month ago. I know it will be slow progress but have been getting a little annoyed the last few days not seeing the scale drop as quickly as I'd want. I've been working a TON this week and I definitely want to "cheat" more when I'm tired. I came home from work tonight & had a mini "binge" which I logged. It was only 350 calories and helped me realize it truly wasn't a big deal. The old me would have gotten in the "eff it, I already messed up" mindset and gone crazy. Rather than getting nachos which I REALLY wanted I had a lean cuisine pizza. Even with dessert I'll end up only 100 calories above maintenance for the day. That's still including a glass of wine, pizza, and dessert. And I won't be filled with absolute #NachoRegret today and tomorrow. Perfect is the enemy of good. [link] [comments] |
| Don't let a cheat meal become a cheat day. Posted: 04 Jun 2021 05:53 AM PDT I don't know where I heard this but has always stuck with me. I've given this advice to a few people now (so also posting here), who tend to overdo it when they allow themselves. I find it's the same type of dieter who needs this advice. The type who treat the given meal plan as gospel, and as soon as they make one slip up they give up completely and lose their way altogether. It could take them days to get the enthusiasm for healthy eating again. Slip ups happen to everyone, but beating yourself up JUST MAKES IT WORSE. The thing to do is forget it ever happened and move on. Pretend like you did things perfect and lie about it if you have to. The quicker you can do this the better. Forgive yourself, you're human. Draw a line in the sand! Roll with the punches! Get back on the horse! The key is to get back on the horse quicker. That is something meaningful you can practice. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 11:23 PM PDT I've been stuck in the " I'll start on Monday " mindset for like 8 months now. I been up and down my entire life. I had a son a little over 2 years ago, and I decided I didn't want my life for him, so I had to be a good example. Over the next year and a half I lost around 100 pounds, getting to my lowest weight since probably middle school. And then for whatever reason it all went to shit. I wasn't following a particularly strict diet. Basically soft- core counting calories and making common sense decisions (don't eat an entire pizza plus an entire cake) So since August of last year I have been telling myself I'm going to get it together soon, so I should get all the indulgences out now. Which has only caused me to gain weight crazy fast. Last time I weighed myself I had gained back about 60 pounds. I've been back and forth with the hating myself and why do I do this and all that, but really I just need a Kickstart to get back on it. I consider myself lucky at this point, because I know exactly what I need to do to lose weight, and I know I can do it. I really have an addict mind when it comes to food. I've gone a day or two and then all the sudden I can't stop thinking about getting cookies or whatever kind of junk food. I just need some advice or shared experiences or something! It's such a shot to the nuggets when you realize it's way bigger than just losing the weight. It's a battle for the rest of your life. At least that's what it seems like for me. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 01:34 AM PDT Hello everyone, First of all I want to say that this sub is a huge source of inspiration for me. Everyone is so supportive and uplifting, it helps me stay motivated but it also restores my faith in humanity! :-) I'm a 25F, I'm 161CM tall (about 5"3) and when I got started my waist measured at about 95.5CM (37.5 inches). Now, three weeks in, I have lost 3CM (little more than an inch) off my waist. I don't own a scale as I don't see a scale as a reliable method of tracking my process and I guess it kind of scares me off lol and gets me demotivated. I'm eating around 1550 Calories a day and track everything in MFP. Besides that I hit the gym around 3 times a week (weights) and in addition to that I go kickboxing once a week. I've always had a problem with controlling myself around food and soda. I was a chronic overeater and would eat until I felt sick to my stomach. Sometimes even so badly that I would still feel really bad the day after. I would easily drink multiple glasses of coke a day. Besides that I also have Hashimoto's disease (basically a slow thyroid), which also was a huge factor in demotivating me. But now the past three weeks something clicked and I somehow found the motivation in myself to stick to my goals and even refuse food/soda my family/friends/coworkers offer me. This is a huge deal for me, as this is one of the huge contributors to my failures in the past. I have pursued numerous weightloss journeys in the past and I would always end up failing, but this time I feel like I'm setting myself up for success! And I contribute that to this sub for a big part, because you all really keep me motivated. Thanks so much and stay awesome!! 💖💪 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 01:57 AM PDT Okay so I have been on this journey for 6 months, 5ft1 F 180lb CW, still have a long way to go. For the month of may I really stepped it up, started at 182lb start of the month. I exersized 1 hour every day (had 2 rest days in the month) stuck to my calories, I usually have 1 bad meal a week. I checked my progress last saturday 172lb! I'm thinking great. Didnt have a bad meal that week. I get sick saturday night... a funny tummy... so my sick mind I step on the scales sunday thinking I could of lost some weight, to my shock it says 181lb almost a 10lb gain overnight. It's now a week later and I'm still at 180lb. All my progress and hard work in May gone overnight, I'm not sick anymore, been guzzling water all week and still doing my exersize and cals. Has this happened to anyone? I just feel so disheartened. Am I doing somthing wrong? I aim for my cals 1400 (i am small) and will usually eat 2000 cals on a sunday ( I didnt that weekend bc I was sick). In total since I started I have lost 30lb in 6 months, so it has been really slow considering how much I need to lose. I'm stumped for what I can do differently. Thanks for reading :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 08:28 AM PDT I read a book awhile back called "The ONE thing" by Gary Keller and I've slowly been making commitments to myself to make change. I think weight loss can feel like an overwhelming mountain for those of us who are food addicts. I quit soda in January. That was an impossible task for me, but I made it possible. I didn't lose a lot of weight from it but I'm no longer burdened with the addiction and I'm healthier for it. Bottom line, pick one thing. My one thing right now is a healthy breakfast. I chose a nutritional shake. It's less than 300 calories; the sweetener is a single banana. However, I get a ton of healthy benefits plus a nice sweet start to the day. Pick one thing….and as you grow your things will build up into a beautiful lifestyle. I wish you all the best and I'm here fighting the fight with you. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 10:48 PM PDT So, the beginning of the year was really bad. I fell off the wagon really hard. And in the last several months I've gained ten pounds. Now, I'm actually happy it wasn't more! Realistically, 10 pounds in six months is a lot better than anything more than that. But I'm still kicking myself. I had done really well in December, but that snowballed and I screwed up. I'm starting over today, though. I'm using the LoseIt app, and actually just bought a premium membership. Figured that will also help motivate me. Since if I'm paying for it, might as well use it. I'm 275 right now. I'm hoping to lose... Honestly any amount of weight. My ultimate goal weight is 140 for now. But I'm taking it one step at a time. I just want to lose weight, and any amount is good right now. If anyone wants to be an accountability partner in this, I'd be extremely grateful. Seems that helped before. For right now, I'm done eating out. I can't trust myself with it, even the healthy choices end up with me binging on it and eating it practically all in one go. My partner and I are deleting three food apps from our phones. And I actually have an exercise bike I'm going to start slowly using. I'm going to fight my eating disorder. I'm going to lose the weight. And ultimately I'm going to get healthy. [link] [comments] |
| My health has declined. A lot. Posted: 04 Jun 2021 07:14 PM PDT After having my son 3 years ago with gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, my health has just declined. I have gained 60lbs and I haven't been able to get it off. I have also found out that I do have PCOS, non alcoholic fatty liver disease, and am prediabetic. My A1C level was 6.4 and now it is 6.9, almost type 2 diabetes. My liver enzymes is terrible as well, with high triglycerides, high cholesterol. Pre pregnancy I was 180lbs, 5'7". Now I am 233lbs. I don't enjoy having sexy time with my husband anymore because I just feel so heavy and my belly literally gets in the way. I have huge apron after having my son. I hate that it got to this point. I'm trying to work out and am going to make an appointment with endocrinologist as well. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 01:51 PM PDT I haven't taken care of myself over the past 3 years. At 180 lbs I felt that I was in good shape. I watched myself gain weight, whenever I would hit a new landmark I would panic diet. This would last a week or two until I mess up my diet once. Then I get angry at myself and hate myself and then eat horrendously for months at a time. Until I realize once again, that I've hit a new landmark, so I panic diet again. I've repeated this cycle up to 240 lbs. I don't carry my weight well. I'm an obese pathetic loser and I don't get the same respect from friends, family, and coworkers that I used to. People treated me so much better when I looked healthy. Skinny privilege is real, I feel like I've fallen from grace and ill never be happy until I reclaim my health. I have a loving supportive girlfriend and I feel that I'm letting her down. If I don't do this for myself I need to at least do it for her. I'm starting a 100 day challenge of exercising every day and eating healthy. I'm defining exercise as completing my samsung health rings and I'm defining eating healthy as staying below my calorie count each day of 1500. Today was day 1, I began my couch to 5k today and counting my calories. Wish me luck [link] [comments] |

| Is it possible for me to lose 40lbs this summer for school? Posted: 04 Jun 2021 04:16 PM PDT Hi, so I was wondering if it's possible for me to lose 40lbs in 3 months. For some background I'm 15, I'm female, and have been overweight my whole life. I haven't had bad eating habits, I just have a bad metabolism and never cared to work out and push myself hard enough to activate it and start burning fat. I'm going into 10th grade this September, and am really uncomfortable with myself, and need to loose weight. I would say I am overweight so is it possible to lose 40lbs in 3 months? I've been going on a lot of walks, eating less but still a good amount, and taking a bit over 10,000 steps a day. What else can I do? Please help. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 07:29 PM PDT Hello everyone! I'm a first time poster here...and I'm looking to see what advice people might have about my planned approach to my weight loss. My current weight is 338 lbs. I'm 5'9", and 26 years old. My goal weight is around 240-250 lbs. I'm a person with a wide frame and stocky body type underneath the fat. I just purchased and set up a treadmill in my home and plan to use it every single day to simply walk. Currently, my plan is to walk 2 hours every day - 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour in the evening. I also have set up an account with LoseIt to track my calories and everything I eat. Right now, my focus is to simply burn fat. Eventually, I'm going to add in weightlifting to my routine 3-4 times a week. Does this sound like a good basis for a weight loss plan? Just as further background, I work in a desk job in the automated warehouse industry, so my lifestyle has been rather sedentary for the last 3.5 years after graduating college. My lovely wife is of the mindset that any change in my exercise level most certainly wouldn't hurt. My own health and our future as a family is what is driving me to finally stick with this. I appreciate any feedback you all can offer, I've been reading through other posts here and they've been a big help. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 06:38 PM PDT I have massive avoidance tendencies, so I spent this last year of Covid etc not looking in mirrors and generally wearing very baggy clothes. Now that it's summer again and blisteringly hot, I finally forced myself to step on a scale. I'm exactly at the cusp of 'obese'. I don't feel that I look TOO terrible but I don't like that the weight is centred a lot around my tummy in the front. I look ok from the the front, but when I turn to the side.....damn. This week on Sunday I started doing two 24 hour fasts per week, working out 5 times a a week (3 cardio, 2 kettlebell circuit training sessions), and eating calorie deficit. I already feel better after just one week of this change and I'm back down 2kg. Back out of the 'obese bracket'. But now I feel super motivated to actually make a change. I want to see results, not just the number on the scale, but changes to my body composition. I want to be able lift heavy things. I want to enjoy dancing again without dying of exhaustion after 10 minutes. I want to feel confident and healthy again. Been overweight since college, but I was decently fit even being overweight. I really let myself go over the pandemic. I know I'm not really alone on that one though. I'm just upset I didn't take the pandemic opportunity to get in shape. But better late than never, right?

| Maybe I really will never enjoy exercise? Posted: 04 Jun 2021 11:15 AM PDT I've never liked working out. I hate sweating, I hate gyms, and I never finish a workout feeling like that was worth the 1.5-2hrs spent changing, exercising, showering, and driving home (how people spend 45 minutes at the gym only is a complete mystery to me, as fast as I try to be). But, obviously, I get that I need to exercise if I don't want to have a bunch of medical complications when I'm older. I've been trying for years to find some kind of cardio that I actually like. I've tried running, ellipticals, stationary and outdoor biking, yoga etc. and I've never found something that made me feel good at the end and that I really wanted to stick with. Recently, out of necessity, I've started walking a few miles a day (my boyfriend usually has dog walking duties—he's been out of town for about 10 days and I've taken on that responsibility) and since I've been sticking with it for some time now I've been waiting for some of those benefits to set in that everyone talks about: having more energy, feeling happier, sleeping better, etc. Walking has been touted by a lot of people as a super easy way to exercise, and I'm bummed that it's also not giving me those benefits. I really feel tired all the time and I'm certainly not happier/sleeping better. I guess I'm just disappointed by this discovery and starting to wonder if I'm really never going to enjoy or reap the emotional benefits of exercise. I am trying to lose weight, though that's not what this post is really about, so I'm going to keep walking. Am I ever going to like it? Does anyone else struggle with this? TL;DR: I've struggled for years to find exercise I enjoy, does anyone with similar experience have any tips? [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 4 Posted: 04 Jun 2021 07:20 PM PDT Hello losers, Happy Friday! Late today, hope you kicked butt! Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & remove moral judgement/stigma/shame directed at yourself about it: Logged this morning. Progress over perfection.

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 being able to go hiking tomorrow! I'm so jazzed! Time to see what this old body can do! Your turn! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 05:30 AM PDT Hi! Apologies for the word vomit below, I haven't talked to anyone much about my weight loss and I feel the need to document today after hitting a milestone! 31F 5'8"/172-173cm SW: ~225lbs/102KG CW:196.2/89KG GW: 165lbs/75kg I woke up this morning to a weight of 196.2, putting my BMI at 29.8! I'm kind of regretting not documenting this journey, but it's one of those things that have just snowballed. Last year, my GERD got really bad. I'd be burping for hours every night, no exaggeration. My chest always felt tight, but my doctor said it was probably just my GERD. She did mention my weight, but just prescribed me a new PPI for it. I'm not positive on an exact "starting weight", because I didn't have a start date, but I think to say 225 would probably be pretty accurate, based on a couple of doctor appointments I had late last year. Sometime in January or February, I felt so bad that I just decided to make better decisions. I ate less "bad food" and started eating more fruits and vegetables. Then, around March I joined the YMCA. Then I got a scale (at this point I was around 216). After some weeks of that, I downloaded the loseit app. I stopped using the app sometime around the time we went into another lockdown (Ontario). But after a few weeks, I made myself start tracking again. I've also been walking about 6 days a week since the gym closed. I'm far from perfect with my calories. I eat some bad meals, I snack on sugary things sometimes. But in general I'm making better choices, and I usually stay under my calorie goal. I am looking to make better habits in general, but I'm never going to give up potato chips or cake or whatever forever. The good news is it worked! I almost never have GERD symptoms, and I feel so much healthier (it's hard to put it in words, but I was just feeling so blah before). I'm going to keep going with a calorie deficit and my walks or gym (when it finally reopens- Ontario is dragging its feet). Next stop 165 pounds! [link] [comments] |
| I feel that I have given up on weight loss Posted: 05 Jun 2021 12:16 AM PDT I have tried so many fitness programs, diets, dietitians and non of them worked. I always gain back the weight. Everytime I go to the doctor, he says I need to lose weight. Everytime I go to a tailor, they suggest I lose weight. Almost every person in my life is always suggesting that I should lose weight. I'm so sick of it. Like I get it! I need to lose weight! I have been fat my entire life, don't you think I haven't tried a thing or two?! I don't want to be worrying about losing weight anymore, I just want to live. Is my life expectancy going to be shorter? Sure! But it's better that spending the rest of my life being miserable worrying about my stupid weight. [link] [comments] |
