| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 02:25 PM PDT On July 25, 2020 I finally decided to start my weight loss journey. Now a full year in the future, I hardly recognize myself, physically and mentally. My entire mindset around food and exercise and overall fitness has completely changed, and the body I had wanted for years but thought I could never have is slowly coming to realization. I used to hate any form of exercise and thought that eating large amounts of any food I wanted when I wanted it made me a "foodie" or "quirky", when in reality it was a coping mechanism I learned from a very young age. I've never been a healthy weight until recently because of it. I feel better than ever now! I'm doing things I thought I'd never be able to do, much less enjoy doing them! I've found that I love to jog on treadmills, doing yoga, going on long walks outside, and other forms of exercise I do regularly. Old me would've dreaded all of this and avoided it if possible, but now I make time everyday for exercise. While health and feeling better physically is a great motivator to lose weight, especially since obesity and related diseases are rampant in my family, actually liking what I see in pictures and in the mirror is so amazing. I feel so much more confident and attractive in my body than I ever have before. Just yesterday I went to the pool with a friend, and for the first time in my life I felt good in my swimsuit! One year ago I was 230 lbs, now I'm 159 lbs. While I still have 19 more pounds to lose, I've lost 71 in a year, which I think is unbelievable. Even my own mom says that she hardly recognizes me in my old pictures. I'm so excited to see that all the effort I've put in for the past year is really paying off and I love this new lifestyle compared to my old one. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 08:52 PM PDT Hi! I joined this subreddit last month. I lost 60 pounds in high school, went from 280 to 220 pounds. After graduating highschool in 2016, I began college and work. Unfortunately, the amount of time I had dwindled and I slowly put the weight back on. Recently I've gotten fed up and made some changes. Primarily HIIT (15 minutes of HIIT every morning) and portion control. Also, I try to avoid eating after 6:00 PM. Today I weighed in at 250 pounds. That's the lowest I've been in a while. My goal weight is 210 pounds, I still have a long way to go. I'm excited for what is to come and glad I'm seeing results. [link] [comments] |
| Did anyone else pile it on after high school? Posted: 25 Jul 2021 05:01 PM PDT Hi, first off I apologise if the title is too crass or uncaring, I don't mean to offend. I was just curious if anyone else saw a rapid increase in their weight after graduating high school. When I graduated in spring of 2019 I was already overweight, I weighed myself weekly and I was hovering around 200 lbs, but in the succeeding months I really piled it on. This was mostly due to a severe lack of exercise (guess I underestimated just how much walking I did from class-to-class) and overall poor diet (rich in candy, soda, and all that other stuff that I ate way too much of). By Christmas time I was up to 215-225 and was definitely feeling it, having to turn over on my side to catch a good breath while sleeping. It stayed at around 225-230 throughout 2020 but then a few months ago this year I had an anxiety attack over my heart health and this pushed me to lose weight. I went from approx. 215lbs in Dec. of 2020 to 184lbs as of last weekend. But to get back to the main point, I put on most of the weight and ate my way into the obese category after graduating high school, would any people with similar experiences like to share theirs? :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 10:55 PM PDT I was on a steady weightloss before I found out I was pregnant. Because of hyperemesis my weight stayed pretty low (for me) 220. After having him I gained most of the weight back and then some. I was at my heaviest at 270. Finally I started losing again and then bam pregnant again. Same thing as last time, weight stayed low 210's this time and now after 5 months postpartum, I am at a whopping 268. . I swore I would never get back to this, but here I am. Things change today. . I found a yoga studio I like, im going to make this something I enjoy instead of turning it into a chore. I will find the time. . I just have to. . [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 07:38 AM PDT Hello! First time poster here. I am 24 years old (and female). I am 5'9, and my weight at the beginning of July was 158. It typically fluctuates between 157.5-159. Last year I weighed about 145lbs and I would like to get back there. Some of my clothes are tight and every time I put them on I want to cry, I feel so awful about it. This morning I feel terrible because I weighed myself and I was at 161.8, which is the heaviest I've ever weighed in at. I'm really frustrated because I've been more active since I moved to a new place this month. I walk more than 4 miles a day (before I only walked about 1/2) and I am more cautious about what I eat. I only drink soda and alcohol every now and then, and when I do, it's not a lot. This is what my diet typically looks like Morning -Eggs with green pepper, diced ham, and shredded cheese Snack -Dark chocolate sea salt granola from aldi (I have a sweet tooth and switched to this instead of chocolate) Lunch -Avocado Toast with flax seeds on whole grain bread Or -Green Apple with Peanut butter If I am hungry before dinner I usually make myself green beans with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Dinner varies, but sometimes I have turkey chili, home made pizza, pasta.. I'm weary of restricting my diet too much because I know it wouldn't be sustainable. What do I need to do? Why is this happening? Is it normal to gain weight before losing it? Am I over reacting? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 12:19 PM PDT 18 weeks ago today I made a post on Social media that I was going to lose 30 pds in 10 weeks. On 30May I did my final weigh in and came short by 15pds at 357. I was upset that I missed my goal and more upset because of personal ramifications my weight was having on my life. I went back to social media and said I failed in my goal but I was recalibrated, reloaded and getting immediately back in the fight. I set a new 30 pd goal. 327pds by 8Aug. I had been doing intermittent fasting at an 16/8 for 2 or 3 weeks at that point. I talked to my doctor and kicked it up to 18/6 with weekly 20+ fasts on weekends(easier than it sounds really.) I work in a setting that encourages physical fitness and has a great open facility to train inside and outside on the grounds and took advantage of it. I work out every day on my lunch for 30 minutes. Mostly an arc trainer for cardio or running on the track. Less running though due to injury in my neck. After work I stop at the gym I've been a member of for years and train again for another 30-45 minutes. In the last 3 weeks I've been cleared for weights as long as my neck doesn't hurt and I don't due back squats. To be safe I usually use machines though I prefer free weights. Chest is always 3x10 at progressive loads. Legs are 3x15 with slow movement. Arms are drop sets of 10 till I can't pick up a 1pd weight. I never work out more than 90 minutes a day for personal reasons though once a week or so I find time to sit in a sauna or hot tub for recovery and relaxation so I'm at my gym longer. I use a polar heart rate tracker and polar flow for monitoring. I use my fitness pal for food and calories. My diet is very open but I tend to keep a 50/30/20 protein/fats/carb percentage. My calorie intake is maxed at 2250 but I tend to stick around 16-1700. I get full and only start feeling hungry near the end of my fast anyway. All of this has been discussed with my doctor, and my gyms nutritionist. I don't do keto or paleo or any of that. I've done those and they work but they aren't lifestyle sustainable. What I'm doing now is and it's healthy. Today at my 8 week weigh in I hit 324.3. 2 weeks to go on my personal challenge and I'm already 2.7 pounds past my goal. I'm going to keep pushing and on my 10 week weigh in I'll post an update. Then it'll be on to a new goal. My year end goal was sub 300, and no injuries to keep me out of the gym. I have injuries but getting help so I'm not out of the gym. I'll be under 300 before Halloween. I know that for a fact. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 08:54 PM PDT Just wanted to let you guys know about something that has worked a miracle for me… My entire life, I have had a double chin. It's genetic, and super stubborn. I was thin most of my childhood and teenage years, yet always had the double chin, and it didn't totally go away in my twenties when I was an ideal weight for my height. However, when I gained weight and crossed the obese threshold, my double chin got out of control! I carry my weight pretty "well" except for that, because it's just so out of proportion with the rest of my body. Yes, I do need to lose weight, but my chin makes me look so much larger than I really am. I stopped sugar for a few days before Easter, and have recently gotten started with it again over the summer. I was thinking if I could get in good habits over the summer, it will be easier to turn down sweets when school starts again (I'm a teacher). I've also been exercising, and following my meal plan when I'm home, but I have been going on vacations so much that I'm just maintaining for the summer. Well…anyway…I took a lot of pictures this weekend on a trip, and the difference in my chin after several weeks of no sugar is amazing!!! I have basically been maintaining my weight, but that chin is 75% gone!!! I am constantly studying these pictures, seeing my jawline and chin for the first time ever. It's really such a drastic change that I swear it looks like I got some sort of surgery! This is a dramatic enough difference that I plan to eliminate, or at least very much limit sugars, forever. It takes years off my face, and is actually proportional to the weight I have to lose! This chin, for once, doesn't belong on a much bigger person. TLDR: if you struggle with a genetic, too-big double chin, try giving up added sugars! Mine looks so different that I could have gotten plastic surgery! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 04:05 AM PDT Okay so first of all I know that it shouldn't be my business if it was only concerning her appearance. She is a wonderful person, even though she always was a bit on the heavier side she always had that.. kind of glow? But for a while it seems like she's losing it more and more with every pound that she is gaining and she's getting extremely sad from time to time because of her weight gain during the past 3 years (gained around 60-80 lbs). I try to be there for her and support her and build her confidence as much as I can yet I can't help but notice that it is now getting to a point where it would be really dangerous to gain even more and if she doesn't make a change in her life she will definitely gain more. On the other hand: I (f, 23, 165 lb, 5'6") am a bit chubby and considered overweight but been losing the weight that I've put on during lockdown. Since May I have lost around 10 pounds. This kind of makes the situation worse since this seems to be quite frustrating for my bff - and I also feel sorry for that. But this way I feel like I might hurt her feelings severely if I would just tell her that I am concerned that she might get really sick. She already had to go to the hospital because of weight related issues and I'm pretty sure she knows how serious this whole situation is but it also seems like she is trying to find excuses. Also it might affect our friendship in some way since there are some things that she can't do anymore already. I love to hang out with her and I will not stop to do that, don't get me wrong, but it would be wonderful to just have a spontaneous shopping-day or to go hiking togerher etc .... Yesterday she had another breakdown because she found old pictures of herself and I offered her to help her by sending her some tasty yet healthy recipes with the calorie count and some tips that worked for me (no sugary drinks anymore, no snacks at home since what isn't there can't be eaten, finding out my max calorie intake etc). She gladly accepted but as soon as I told her that I am doing CICO she found excuses and almost got offended. She told me there is no way she can count calories with her busy life, that she will be fine if shes just riding her bicycle to work and hitting the gym once per week yet continuing to eat basically the same way. I didn't wan't to reply anything after that to not put her down and because I am not a professional but she's been "trying" this for a long time without any results. Is there any way to give her further advice or should I just let it go and wait till she figures it out herself? Is there any way to support her in a healthy way without appearing like I'm trying to be superior (which I am definitely not!)? I hope I don't get a ton of hate because maybe it really shouldn't be my business, again, I'm just concerned. Also: sorry for my bad english, I'm no native. TLDR; I'm scared for my bff's health, don't want to hurt her feelings by saying this to her face yet if I offer help she turns it down by searching excuses Thank you in advance! EDIT: Okay your response was overwhelming. I really really really appreciate all your opinions and your points of view as everyone is a little different. I am now at a point where I realize that I can't change her behavior and that she needs to find her own way and needs to realize it herself and that this possibly will take some more time. I will try to be supportive (and cook a shitload of tasty, secretly healthy food when she comes over) but won't talk about it again. I'm sure she knows that she's obese, no need to put my finger in the wound. I still also agree that honesty is important when it comes to people that are close to you but since I have never lied to her about her weight but rather listened I don't think I'm "guilty" of supporting a self-destructive lifestyle. Hopefully her time will come! For now I will log of the internet and enjoy my evening :) [link] [comments] |
| Lost 16.4 kgs (36 lbs) in 3 months Posted: 25 Jul 2021 10:32 AM PDT Hello everyone, i'm 27(M) years. At the start of my weightloss I weighed in at 94.4 kg's, or 208.1 lbs. Now i'm at 78 kg's, for the first time in about 12 years. Pictures (The 'start' picture is different than when I started, I didn't take pictures when I started. At time of picture I was about 88 kg's.) I've had so many irl acquintances, friends and family call this an unhealthy lifestyle/unsustainable/crazy/too strict/whatever so I'm mainly making this post to find a community that is a bit more appreciative of the effort and hardwork that goes into this aswell as share the details on how I achieved this. My diet consists of the following: 1200 kcal's a day + fitness 3 times a week. This is achievable for me mostly with the OMAD (one meal a day) system, and fitness about 2 hours after I had my meal, so I have the energy to burn. But I had never managed to break under 85 kg's, that's why I decided to go OMAD. No it's not sustainable, it's not meant to be sustainable either. It just happens to be the way for me to lose this weight. I can clearly see it's working. I've consulted a dietician, I take multivitamins and get all neccessary macro's daily. I'm living healthier than 95% (or more) of the people commenting on my diet, I'm done arguing with jealous people and couldn't be happier for my journey thus far. I'll happily answer any questions regarding my journey! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 03:38 PM PDT I did it. I felt gross and anxious putting my gym clothes back on. I tried to talk myself into going on a walk like I've been doing to stay "active". But I knew, and my clothes knew, that I needed a real fucking sweaty gym treadmill workout. My run time was about the same as before, although things felt a little squishier. Then as I was leaving I forced myself on the scale. I knew it wasn't gonna be pretty, but I'd come this far and had to see what the real damage was… 13 pounds 😳. 20 pounds since my lowest 2 years ago. BUT THATS OK! The past 18 months have been hard. I wasn't expecting to get out of it without some battle scars. Good thing is my strength and endurance is still in me, albeit buried under some layers of fluff. We all struggled in some way- Onward and upward my friends! [link] [comments] |
| I feel like I'm at my breaking point. Posted: 25 Jul 2021 08:26 AM PDT In an optimistic way. I've been trying to lose weight for a while now and have been struggling immensely. It hurts, food consumes me, and it's one addiction I just haven't been able to break. I've felt so empty without food. Well after having another unsuccessful day, I saw my crush and they told me they were seeing a "friend" they had been chatting with from another country in person. It was clear they were more than friends. My crush told me about all of the things they had been talking about together and how exciting it was they had these shared interests. Every single one was a passion of mine, that my crush had never been interested in talking to me about. Then I realized the difference. This "friend" wasn't fat. They weren't overweight. They were good looking. It just crushed me. Change starts now, not tomorrow, not in a week. I don't like feeling like this. I used to feel empty if I didn't eat; but now I just feel empty anyway, even when I do eat. There's just no reason to do it anymore. I don't want to feel like this. Sorry. I know this seems self conceited. I just had to share somewhere. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 06:18 PM PDT I can't think back/properly retain information. I need visual reminders for everything. I'm 23, near 300 pounds now and haven't been living my life for the last 8 years. I Reclused myself to my room and felt content never meeting friends, hoping I would just die. Until I just forget how I really feel and distract myself. But that all changed when I officially diagnosed for multiple different disorders. I feel like I might have a chance at life. The thing is, I have to schedule out every aspect in my day, including basic things like drinking water. I don't have most of my upper teeth, so I can't chew tough stuff. I sit 24 hours a day. But I'm ready for change. Please, is there any nutritionally balanced smoothie recipes? What exercises should I do for maximum effectiveness in overall health? What times of day I should eat and exercise? I have a schedule that's new and ready to be molded for these things. I just have no one to help me start. I set multiple reminders for me to go back on this post later. If you have any advice for me, please share. Thank you for reading this. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 03:37 PM PDT Went from 5'6" 200lbs to 170lbs! It all started with me and my friends hanging out going to play football at the park and I just wasn't good so I weighed myself and saw I was 200lbs and that's when I knew I needed to change. Mainly less eating because that was my problem so with That and lots of weight lifting and biking it started to drop and I'm on my way to 150lbs! Some advice to anyone trying to loose it, always know it just takes dedication and time and when it seems hard just know you can make a change and no matter how old or young you can always start now! I'm only 13 and I know you can do it to! :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 11:36 AM PDT While being on keto for 3 years, it started off great. There's a healthy way of doing things and there's a very unhealthy way of doing things. And yes 3 years is a very long time, for me it became a very unhealthy thing. I wouldn't eat 3 meals a day, I became dizzy, bruised easily, headaches etc. I decided to slowly introduce complex carbs, and I've been doing this for the past year. I eat potatoes and oatmeal for example, but still don't eat pastas, breads or unnatural sugars at this point. As I stated, in this last year, Ive incorporated complex carbs..... Still eating very healthy meals... But I havent been EATING til 2pm-4pm. I'd eat dinner and that was usually it. Which finding out, that slows your metabolism down by a lot. Main reason of gaining all the weight, not the carbs. Come last week, I tried on my FAVORITE pair of shorts, they've always been loose on me ... And they didn't fit, at all. I was completely in shock, I feel healthy, I've been EATING healthy and I've incorporated exercise in the last year.But, I've probably gained 20-25 lbs and had no idea cause I've been wearing leggings and sweatpants lately. Completely oblivious to the point and now I feel disgusting with myself. I know it's normal to gain weight after keto, especially after doing it for way too long. But still. Keto has made me afraid of certain foods. And I think that's why I stopped eating as much. Idk So In the past week I've talked to my boyfriend, friends and have been looking online on how I can lose weight in a healthy manor. Cause they've been respectfully asking me to stop keto for a good majority of the way. Present day: I got the app, myfitnesspal, which a lot of people are probably familiar with. So with the help of myfitnesspal, not only have I been keeping track of my calories and making sure I eat ENOUGH, I also feel so much better about myself, even though I've only been doing it for a week. I've meal prepped breakfast so I can just take it to go, I've been making sure that I get close to my calorie count at the end of the day. I feel good and I hope this will lead me in the right direction. Even if it means I eat carbs now I don't feel as guilty anymore. I finally feel healthier and I feel that counting calories (eventually count full macros), is something I can use for the rest of my life. So let's hope counting my calories will help me lose those extra pounds. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, I'm new to reddit, and this is something I just needed to vent about, hopefully I can get input from people with similar stories or people that love nutrition and dieting.

| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 08:15 PM PDT So I know everyone says teens shouldn't reduce their calories too much due to puberty and stuff and the body needs the energy but I've seen that it is mainly due to growth spurts. I am trying to lose weight healthily as a teen and I was trying to limit my calories but I made them too low because I was using an adult tdee calculator. So right now I'm eating at 1900 calories. Since I pretty much know I'm not going to grow any more height wise, I'm 5'4, do I still need to eat at 1900 calories or does my body still need those calories. Can ai reduce my calories slightly. Also TMI I do get mild constipation so does that effect me anyhow. I drink lots of water but it always ends up being absorbed leaving me constipated. I'm just trying to find the best way to lose weight as I'm unable to see my doctor right now. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 04:28 PM PDT Hello, So just as the title says, in 2018 I was really down on myself for being bigger than I wanted to be. I worked hard, got a gym membership, really started counting calories (obsessively) and got down to my ideal body weight (175). I was muscular, energetic, and really feeling very confident in my appearance. I maintained that weight for a couple years and then the lockdowns came and the gyms in my area closed for months and months. About that same time I got into a serious relationship with my girlfriend and since then the pounds have come screaming back. I've been sitting at about 215 pounds since last June or July (2020), and I hate to admit it but i'm feeling very stuck. I have since resumed lifting and running. My strength is returning but I can't seem to nail my diet down to lose fat. I know WHAT I need to do, I just can't seem to summon the determination that I used to have to see my diet through. I go through 3-4 day spurts of discipline and then fizzle out and binge eat. So my question is- for those of you that lost the weight and gained it back again and lost it a second (or third or fourth) time- How did you do it? Its like its somehow HARDER to lose it the second time around! Did you have to change your approach? Was your mindset different? etc. [link] [comments] |
| I figured out how to stop my constant snacking cravings Posted: 25 Jul 2021 03:43 AM PDT I quit artificial sweetener! I know the research is out there and it's a common thing, but it's something I chose not to try because I didn't believe I would survive without it. I've been trying now since 2017ish (unsuccessfully) to lose weight, but I just found I was always hungry, always looking for food, absent mindedly reaching for something to nibble on. I would grab a couple chips, a half teaspoon of peanut butter on half a slice of bread, 3 spoons of yogurt etc and not log it because in my mind it was too small to count as calories (even though it would obviously add up and screw me in the end lol). I used to have sweetener with everything: in coffee and tea, coke/sprite zero, sugar free sweets like jelly and chocolate, in my oats, cereal, yogurt, smoothies, you name it I had sweetener in it. I stopped now for 2 weeks and even on the first day I could feel it, I wasn't reaching for any snacks because I just wasn't hungry and didn't want it and that was it. I've replaced some things with honey and I track every little thing now, and I've been able to stay on goal with calories every single day now. If you're struggling with constantly wanting snacks, I recommend quitting all artifical sweeteners [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 09:21 AM PDT Hey everyone, just thought I'd do a post regarding over eating and binging and about what has helped me to change my old habits into healthier habits. I also want to say I've never been diagnosed with BED, I did have binges and I did over eat, I'd say maybe more so a food addiction..but regardless, I had issues related to food. Firstly, finding the roots of my issues, when it all started has helped me alot to figure out what my triggers were, what my trigger foods were as well. Realising that it was very much related to my emotions, when I was young I don't think I was in a position to be emotional and express myself which made me turn to food as a way to cope and realising it and being honest with myself has helped me so much. Also having deep emotional conversations with the people around me that I trust about it has helped so much, to see people that cares for me understanding where I was coming from was very helpful. I think it can be a very good start to get rid of the guilt and shame that comes with being fat, that no I wasn't just lazy, that I had traumas, that I was depressed probably for years and that It was sadly just a bad coping but also, that I could have turned to something else that'd have been way more harmful to myself. And that's without saying that being obese is harmful but It could have been alcohol, drugs. Then, looking at my food habits compared to how a normal healthy eating person would be eating in a day was a big eye opener. To realise that I've been treating myself everyday with no restrictions for years, without second thinking about it, just eating everything I wanted..It was very hard, I cried alot about this, thinking of how much food I'd eat in a day sometimes, coming to term with the fact that it wasn't normal. Coming to term with the fact that you're not supposed to have dessert, sweets and salty snacks on the daily but not only that, having big portions of it, multiple times in a day. For me it was really just a switch and it wasn't easy but slowly seeing food as nutrition for my body, trying to feed my body what it needed and not what I craved. It doesn't happen overnight but now, what I crave are actually good things for my body 85% of the time bc I genuinly love the food but also because ik it's good for my body. Now, I can honestly say I felt like crap all the time bc of food and just to not feel like this anymore, it's worth it. Watching Obese to beast videos on youtube regarding obesity and food as a whole has helped me realise so much bc I could see myself in the people he was talking about and in the issues he was talking about. I know that some people need actual therapy and can't just change on their own like that but Ik many just don't know where to start and regardless of therapy I think it needs to start with will power to change and to make better decisions so yeah, I hope my post is gonna be helpful to someone out there.. Regarding weightloss, simply CICO, balance and healthier options. I've come to realise that the weight will eventually come off if you do the right things. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 25 Jul 2021 09:11 AM PDT I'm frustrated. I had a great loss this week- I'm at 96 lbs down. I'm gonna make 100lbs down by end of August. I still have an apron belly and I don't see it going away. I am now at 270.6 lbs and if I do well, I'll pass out of class 3 obesity by the end of this year. It's exciting. So many awesome changes coming. But right now I'm still invisible. I'm still above the weight limit for so much, and I'm going to time out on some large goals for my life. I feel like tipping off the edge into unhealthy, either too much exercise or too little food is imminent. It's not fast enough. I just want a reset button, or anything to not have to face the fact Im 2 years into a likely 3-4 year endeavor just to be pretty enough to hug How do I get my balance back? [link] [comments] |
