| Well, I finally did it.. I lost 100lbs. Posted: 01 Jul 2021 10:35 AM PDT Honestly, it happened quite a bit quicker than I had anticipated. I started losing weight in August when I was diagnosed with ADHD- I something I've had my whole life and struggled with and never had help with. Once I was helped for that, I found it much easier to maintain a diet I preferred and finally lose weight. I started my journey (I'm not a fan of that word lol), at 414 pounds. I know my highest recorded weight was 425 and that just before I had surgery and couldn't walk for nearly 4 months., I'm sure I probably gained another 20-25lbs. I honestly kept at a 1500 calorie diet, I've hit some rough patches along the way especially these past three months where it seemed like I couldn't lose weight no matter what I did. I ate more, ate at my BMR, fasted, etc. This past week I honestly ate over my BMR by a few hundred calories for a week then the day before I decided to fast I ate pretty close to 4000 calories, a lot of it rice but I had fast food too. Gained 1.2lbs the morning I weight myself when I decided to fast for 24 hours, woke up this morning at 312lbs. This past couple months have honestly been so damn frustrating, eating at deficit, losing inches, just not numbers on the scale. I know that I shouldn't but the 100 down was a goal I really wanted to achieve. Now I'm only 12 pounds away from being in the 200s and honestly, I don't remember the last time I was there. Honestly right now, I'm happy and torn. I hate the way my body looks I have so much loose skin already and I know I can't afford to get rid of it. I've lost 10 pant sizes, went from a 5xlt shirt to a 2 or 3xlt (depends on who makes it). I know I've got a more to go, I know I need to hit the gym, I'm excited to hopefully go back to my old career and I won't be afraid to fly not because I'm scared of the plane or flying but because I spill into another persons seat. I had a terrible experience on my way to Canada for work last year. I could go on with more but I want to say thank you to everyone on this sub, I lurk a lot but I know I need to be more active. If you're down, don't give up. [link] [comments] |
| The best revenge is a life well lived Posted: 01 Jul 2021 03:51 PM PDT I was in a relationship that ended quite recently with what I considered to be cheating. He dropped enough hints while we were together that I should lose weight, so I figure now is the perfect time to get fit. I'm overweight, always have been, but whenever I try to talk to anyone in my life about it they always get offended and try to tell me that I'm not fat. I'm 181cm and 90+kgs so yeah, I'm overweight. I shop in the plus size section. My clothes feel tight. When I sit down my belly rolls in over itself and it feels gross. Do the same thing over and over gets you the same results, so last night I went and joined a gym and attended a 1hour group session thing. I've never exercised for the sake of it before so I was worried I was going to hate it, but I feel proud of myself for keeping up the whole time. I'm sore today in my arms but I want to do it again. My goal weight would be about 70 kg I think. I hope I stick with it, I want to keep this ball rolling. Thanks for letting me share my thoughts and goals here. [link] [comments] |
| Just started weight lifting, has anyone else experienced this? [tmi] Posted: 01 Jul 2021 11:00 AM PDT A NSFW warning just in case. Yes, I have contacted my doctor and I am waiting for a response, but I thought I could ask people here who have weight lifted or are currently weight lifting if they've had similar problems. I started Sydney Cummings programs about 2 months ago (I'm on a 3rd program now) and I love it. I've never been stronger, I'm using 20-25lbs dumbbells now. It's great. I've never done weight lifting before and I'm enjoying the strength I've built. But then comes the not-so great part: I have been spotting frequently -- breakthrough bleeding, since I am on an ultra-low estrogen birth control pill for the past 4 years. I've been researching and see that this is a pretty common complaint, especially for those on birth control who are new to the weight lifting (or crossfit/intense workout) scene. Before this, I was mostly a cardio bunny doing kickboxing and dance hiit. I'm not in any pain, but it's mostly just frustrating as all hell and worrisome to boot. A quick q for the uterus-bearing crowd: have you experienced this? [link] [comments] |
| I (34 f) lost 30lbs then lost my motivation Posted: 01 Jul 2021 01:38 PM PDT I worked with a nutritionist who told me I should eat 1200 calories a day, she recommended the Lose It app. I weighed and measured food, ate 1200 calories a day or just barely over, and was losing about 2.5lbs per week. I lost 30lbs or just over 30lbs then took a cheat day that turned into a week that turned into months. I haven't been able to bring myself to step on the scale. I know I've gained a little back but not the full 30lbs. It's hard to be accountable to myself or to make myself track my food and count my calories again. I also was walking a ton and I stopped that. I need to lose at least another 30lbs (I had been 200lbs when I started dieting) Any advice of how to get back to dieting and exercising?? [link] [comments] |
| Soo one cheat day turned into a cheat weekend, week and now almost a month i think :/ Posted: 01 Jul 2021 08:17 PM PDT Basically I was like 10 lbs away from my goal and decided to take that maintenance break. But i pigged out because i thought "hey i can eat WHATEVER i want!!" And i basically did and its hard to actually stop ever since. How do i get back on track? I feel so bloated almost everyday and im thinking about pulling a 24 hour fast (im used to fasting) but im scared im just gonna pig out again once i break it. Also everything is so much harder now because im not able to do my normal exercise routine due to injury and the gym is closed. I still walk around 18-20k steps a day but i miss my old routine so much, i was so in tune with my body back then :(. any advice is reallly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| NSV: I turned a boring flight into a super fun one Posted: 01 Jul 2021 08:41 PM PDT I'm not really sure if this belongs here, but it felt kinda like a NSV for me. So yesterday I was flying out to Toronto and mentioned to a friend that I hoped I sat beside someone who was chatty, because it's a bit of a long flight. I thought I was in seat 26B but I must've screwed something up because my ticket had 20B on it. I got on the plane, walked down the aisle (not like that lol) and passed a bunch of faces as I searched for row 20. Lo and behold, there was a very pretty girl around my age sitting in the seat right next to mine. Gulp 😅. Now two years ago I would've been absolutely mortified at even the prospect of sitting down next to her, and soooooo self conscious about if I was bumping her elbows or whatever because I was too big, or if my leg was in her space, stuff like that haha. But I said hi to her when I sat down and not too long after we took off she noticed some of the books I brought with me and said I had amazing taste lol. We spent most of the flight chatting away about everything under the sun and sharing a lot and it was super nice 😊. We even nerded out about the same Harry Potter things together lol 😂. There's no way I would've had the nerve to talk to her before my weight loss journey, but now that I'm more confident in myself... presto, I made a long boring flight into a really fun one 😊. Thanks for putting me in 20B Air Canada, you da real MVP 😂! Also, second NSV: I hit 31,000 steps on my Fitbit running around seeing a bunch of things on an absolutely gorgeous day today in downtown Toronto, new personal best! Also also, happy Canada day to any Canadians in here 🇨🇦!! [link] [comments] |
| Hoping to help someone as many of you helped me. Posted: 01 Jul 2021 06:17 AM PDT Hello, this is Honmy. This is my first post ever on Reddit and probably the last one on this subreddit. I've been lurking on this sub since I created the account. During this time I've read posts that inspired me to lose the weight I wanted, posts with people struggling the same as me, posts where helped me during my fights, my ups and downs, and I'd like to thank you. I'll hopefully can return my gratitude by sharing my experience to the people who are currently losing the weight. I don't have a photo of when I was at the highest weight, but I got one of September 2012 where I was 105kg+. I've struggled losing weight for 8 years. I yoyoed for like 3 times. Every time I'd got close to "goal weight" and I'd get it all back. Losing weight and regaining every single time. I was 111 kg in July 2013, lost and gained weight till I found my way to lose the fat and get to the current way of 70kg in July 2021. This graph shows how my lose weight journey has been, and it was for sure a rollercoaster. This last 2 years have been different, and no, not only for the COVID. I'd like to share you why it was different and hope this "tips" will help you too:
Whoever is reading this, you are beautiful person despite everything. You may not like how you currently, and I think I can understand as well. But you remain a valuable soul in this world. I say this to all people who starting the weight-loss journey, to all people fighting now, but mainly to all the people who gained it all back. It's okay to fail, we are humans, there's no man in this world that didn't fail once at something, but for as long as you keep trying you will get there. I believe mind and body are correlated, if you want to improve one of this two things, you also need to work on the other one.
This journey is not an all or nothing thing. In your life there will be social events and family dinners where you will be eating a lot. There will also be sometimes where you want to "binge-eating" the junk food, that pizza, that cake, whatever you are craving for. I'd say just do it, treat yourself. You know that it's not that day that will ruin that process of losing weight. The next day the scale will say you got 3kg up, but as you return with your diet in 2 days you will probably lose all the water you accumulated. A man's weight can fluctuate for like 5kg. A good diet is a diet that is sustainable for the rest of your life.
The best things need time to mature. You probably didn't gain all the weight you want to lose in 1 month. For example, I was basically obese since I was 6 years old and started my weight loss around 16 years old. I've been fat kid for 10 years. I believe trying to lose 40kg in 2 or 3 years should be acceptable. It's also a visual benefit because losing the weight slowly, like 2 or 3 kg per month makes you keep the muscle and you don't want to lose that. There will be a period where you just can't get down that weight because of the "plateau", but please, believe me, just trust the process: calories in and calories out. Thank you for whoever read this post. I hope I had at least helped one person like the previous posts in this subreddit had helped me. Weight loss, as it is life, will be difficult, that's why we need to accept the suffering moments but keep focusing on the fun, happy part of it. I know you will get to the target weight you desire. link for some photoes https://imgur.com/gallery/M37OQA7 [link] [comments] |
| starting to think of weight loss like quitting smoking. Posted: 01 Jul 2021 04:51 PM PDT my weight goes up and down. one year I'll loose 15kg then slowly put it back on and get heavier. recently I've struggled to start loosing weight again, even though I'm feeling really big and depressed a little bit. the thought of Al that hard work to put it all back on again is demoralising. today I started to think about like quitting cigarettes. I did quit smoking and it took many attempts to completely stop. I can do the same with my weight. one day the weight will stay off, I just need to find the right mentality. quilting cigarettes was mostly mental. I need to treat my binging and overeating like that. [link] [comments] |
| Is it okay for my diet to be #1 in my life right now? Posted: 01 Jul 2021 09:20 PM PDT I think the only way I can lose the weight right now is to have my diet be top priority, which means I neglect my other commitments such as exercise and walking (which I've been doing for a year now). I know they're supposed to help with weight loss but I just can't do them hand in hand together. I'm not sure how I'd even be able to keep it off then, if I lose all the weight now by having weight loss be the number one priority in my life then how am I going to keep it off once I add everything else back into my life without it falling apart? Am I not ready? I really do want to lose weight and sacrifices are made for everything it's just that it seems so hard to balance 5 commitments in my life which include the extra added one which is diet. It's either the four other commitments or the one commitment to my diet. Any advice for me? Is this a choice I'm just going to have to make, and list the pros and cons of? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Jul 2021 05:16 PM PDT It's been a year. A year ago, I hesitated to tell people about my changes. I hesitated because my mind is my own worst enemy. I "knew" I would fail. I knew I'd lose 20 lbs, gain 30 back. I knew my glory days were behind me and all that was left was getting old. I saw people around me doing cross fit, running marathons. I saw them doing light workouts. I envied, I was embarrassed. My self worth was derived from...nothing. I had no self worth. I'm not sure what clicked. The pandemic hit and I KNEW. I knew I couldn't continue to go on. My dad died of pancreatic cancer. Diabetes was rampant throughout. I knew foundational shit had to change, or I wouldn't be here for my babies (now 3 & 4). What I CHOSE was to make small changes. I couldn't lose 50 lbs tomorrow. But I could take the kids on a walk. I couldn't lift, but I could hike. I chose fun, and I chose worthwhile. What I didn't know what the massive change that had started. The 50 lbs is big, im not diminishing the value of that. But I no longer have this defeatist mind. I still fight "the voice" that tells me I will fail. I'm not good enough. But there is something else there. A strength. It tells the voice to suck it. It tells me do it. What's the worst that could happen? My vulnerability is my strength. My worth is what I feel it is. A year on, I do it all. I lift, I do hiit. I'm training for my first half marathon and racing against my dad's old tines from 1984. It's still a struggle. I still want to give up. But I've let my strength become loud enough to acknowledge my fears and move past. I don't know what my future will bring. Pain, heartache, for sure. But I've proved to myself more. Sure 50 lbs is big. It's an accomplishment. What's bigger is how much ass I can kick in the next year. And the next. Nothing is guaranteed. All I know is I will keep fighting until I am physically no longer able to fight. I can fight the fight today, so I've got this. [link] [comments] |
| I can gain over 35 pounds on a cheat weekend. How? Posted: 01 Jul 2021 07:10 AM PDT I'm a chubby muscular guy. I'm 5'9 and walk around about 210lbs on a a normal day while dieting. Sometimes I'll go on a weekend cheat, eating about ~4000 calories a day and drinking about another 2000. Over the weekend I'll consume no more than about 20,000 calories, but I'll balloon up to 240-250lbs. All of this weight will come off in the next 3 days or so, and I'll be back to 210-215. This is a normal occurrence. How do I gian 30-40 pounds of mass only to sweat and poop/pee it out over the next few days? This does not sound normal, but it happens to me every single time. I can gain 15lbs of water/food weight by having ONE cheat day of less than 6000 calories. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Jul 2021 12:35 PM PDT I make healthy choices most of the day, eat a crappy fast food dinner, feel like garbage - physically and mentally, and then swear I will be on track and healthy. And I will even have a solid plan for the day and then I am passing unhealthy food on the way home - and I make a split second decision to go in and order whatever I want. And then after I feel so bad about myself. How do you build up the willpower? I feel so guilty about my choices and it's all my own doing. I keep making progress and then screwing it all up. I was so successful on weight watchers before the pandemic but I've gained it all back and more and I just can't stick to anything anymore. I don't know what to do with myself. If you have been here before and have any words of advice, please, please help. [link] [comments] |
| How do you deal with people treating you differently when you start losing weight? Posted: 01 Jul 2021 02:26 AM PDT By "differently" I mean generally kinder. I'm still at the early stage of my weight loss journey but I guess people are seeing a change in my appearance already. The only difference I currently see is that my clothes are starting to fit better. I am suddenly visible to others. People suddenly care about how I'm doing. They bother to ask what I think. They're suddenly interested in what I have to say. They are more interested in getting to know me as a person. I get ignored and talked over less. I don't get picked on nearly as much. Most of that treatment come from people who used to bully me mercilessly or completely disregard my existence in the past. I hate it and it makes me feel like never showing my face in public. Anything positive said about me now feels fake at this point. The surge of compliments (backhanded or not), the questions on how you're doing it, the unsolicited advice, the newfound "respect", the sudden sexual/romantic advances, the decrease in the harassment you tend to get in public, how do you deal with it?

| Just broke a two month+ plateau Posted: 01 Jul 2021 10:49 PM PDT And it feels so good. M/6'2"/290 -- 228 I was 290 at my highest in February. My doctor upped my dose of blood pressure medication and decided I would at least try to incorporate a little exercise in my day. I ran up and down the stairs in my apartment sixty times every day for two weeks and lost nine pounds. I lowered my portions a bit but didn't bother counting calories. My blood pressure was significantly lower. I upped the anty to eighty times up and down the steps and worked my way down to 230 by mid April. Then... nothing. I tried actually counting calories, incorporating more walks, stretching in my routine and still nothing. But I still kept going, day after day seeing my weight fluctuate between 230 and 235. And this morning!l 228! It was well worth the wait. Thank you guys for all the support and information, I'm excited to finally get down to my goal weight of 190. Thank you for being on this journey with me! [link] [comments] |
| So I have to drop almost 200 lbs and it's just been too daunting to start on. Posted: 01 Jul 2021 11:57 PM PDT I'm a 350-ish guy, 24, 5'8 so we're way up there, and I'm struggling a lot getting started. I'll be honest; I like junk food. Hell I like food in general. Love to eat, makes me happy. I actually have a major stress eating problem in fact, but the stress isn't going anywhere any time soon and I don't really have another coping mechanism, so we're a little stuck on that. My biggest issue in motivation is that I feel I won't have made any progress toward the bit that matters to me, specifically being properly attractive, till I've dropped the whole 200 and properly muscled up, and it just seems like more than I can actually do in a meaningful timeframe. Now I'm pretty new to all this; tried intermittent fasting for a while, didn't fit properly with the lifestyle I was living at the time, but the important thing is that I'm looking to see fast and consistent results if that's even possible. What positive course of action is there that I can take if any? [link] [comments] |
| Tired of Putting My Health on the Backburner Posted: 01 Jul 2021 11:37 PM PDT Hey all, Long story short, I recently became debt free, landed an excellent WFH job, published a new book, maxed out my retirement account, etc. However, I did all of this at the cost of putting my health on the backburner. I have lost 40-50 lbs twice in the past but haven't been able to maintain it, as I've regained the weight. I am now 32 y/o (male) and probably won't make it to retirement if I don't change my eating habits. I'm 5'10", weighed 291.3 lbs a few days ago, and BMI is 40+. I thought improving my dating prospects would be enough motivation to lose weight but it's not. I've been overweight for the majority of my life and have struggled with appearance issues. Any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated. TIA ETA: I've been struggling with anxiety and depression since high school and those have had an impact on my weight as well, as I have a bad habit of stress eating. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Jul 2021 10:46 PM PDT For context, 23F, 5'3", SW ~139lbs, CW 123.6, started losing weight mid-late February. According to my renpho smart scale, I'm at 22.4% BF, meaning 96lbs of lean body weight. I was looking through posts about body recomp and saw this article linked regarding formulas for recomp. It seems like sturdy logic except that would put my "maintenance" at 1248 calories, and at that formula I would be eating 848 calories on rest days and 1348 on active days. That seems a bit low for rest days. I'd like to lose maybe 5-10 pounds of fat still and I'm content with taking another five months to do that if I need to. My fitness routine is still in the works and super light right now but I don't want to obsess over fat loss when I'm relatively thin, at a healthy weight, and really need to focus on building strength and health. I want to look good but not at the cost of genuinely starving myself. It seems like recomp is going to be super tricky, but does anyone have advice/resources for a smaller woman? My biggest concern is to be the absolute healthiest I can be, after that is the most confident in my body that I can be. Literally any guidance is appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| i want to be better because i feel sad due to the imagine i see in the mirror Posted: 01 Jul 2021 04:20 AM PDT nsfw marked due to being a potentially triggering topic i a 21(F) student, mentally ill. i've been overweight my whole life. yes, there has been a time (early to mid 2020 and 2019) where my weight was kinda ok and i liked my body. things went downhill when i started taking antidepressants. i hained 44 lbs, making me 5'7" x 202 lbs. i cant stand the image i see in the mirror. i feel so ugly, so big, so masculine and just a person who takes up place that i disgust myself. i've tried so many diets that ive lost count. i simply can't stick to it, food feels too delicious and heartwarming. but the comments i constantly receive from my loved ones, or simply seeing my friends look gorgeous and being able to take a picture and look nice, it's all heartbreaking. i've been on keto for a week now but im planning on combining it with Omad or IF. i'm also joining a cardio group + dancing classes. i'll keep on sticking with meds and therapy. on the other side, i'll try to focus on studying only and maybe some of my hobbies. wish me luck... i'll keep you updated.

| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 1 Posted: 01 Jul 2021 07:31 PM PDT Hello losers, Thursday, this the first day of July. Weigh in daily, enter in Libra & remove moral judgement/stigma/shame directed at yourself about it: Log every morning. Progress over perfection. Would trade my uterus for magic beans. 1800 calories (tracking in 5-day cycles, Friday/Saturday at maintenance): Nailed it today. Exercise 5 days a week: 30 minute lunch walk & stationary bike with posture poses & arm reps. 1/1 days. Alone time to word vomit into journal: Need to make time for that. Todays gratitude list: Today I'm grateful for Trader Joe's smoked salmon, yogurt dips, snap peas, my family of choice & the chance to have a quiet work out in peace. The universe is really testing my patience & people level lately. Your turn kids! How was your day 1? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Jul 2021 06:38 AM PDT I dont really post much here but thought I would share my journey so far. Started my journey Jan, 15 2021, with my first goal of getting under 200 Lbs. I don't count calories but I do eat less than I used to, and am also running a lot. I have an ultra marathon race on Aug 14th. I have tried to lose weight multiple times and normally would get down to 220 and quit and get right back up to 245. 46 LBS lost since January and it feels so good. I'm not done yet, but the first goal is completed. Also everything in life just feels easier now. I think I stuck with it because I have a goal of running 100 mile races one day, and losing weight will prevent me from getting hurt. Hope everyone is doing well [link] [comments] |
| On a break from school and work and I've never been so hungry as I am right now. Any advice? Posted: 01 Jul 2021 11:14 PM PDT 21F 5'0.5" (185 -> 132 lbs.) I'm used to having a set schedule and working my meal preps and exercise around that. Rinse and repeat every week and I've made a lot of sustainable progress in my weight loss (15 pounds down since February). I've kept my calorie intake at 1250-1300 calories during the weekdays with 1-2 maintenance days on the weekends at 1800-2100 calories (averages out to 1450-1550 calories a day). But so far I have spent five days home with no daily schedule nor set tasks and I feel hungry a lot more. It hits especially hard at night after dinner. Right now it is 2am and I the sensation is still very much there. I already had some instant miso soup, veggies, and tea almost two hours ago that barely did anything. My calorie intake is upped to 1350-1450 calories for the past five days to see if that helps but I don't understand why I am this hungry since my exercise has drastically decreased. Any advice? I'm lightly-moderately active (TDEE: 1750-1900 calories/day) and I am eating 90-95g of protein a day along with >15g of fiber and >70 ounces of water. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Jul 2021 03:23 AM PDT M / 36 / 5ft 10 / SW 262lbs / CW 196lbs / GW 162lbs Over the past 15 years I realise that I tend to get to 200lbs or just below and then 'life' gets in the way and I gain weight again slowly until I decide to do something about it (again). I almost did it again this year where I got down to 195lbs in Jan, weightloss stalled, my hip started to hurt so I couldn't run as much, got really busy at work, etc. and before I knew it - it was May and I had gained 10lbs. So I've kicked myself back into gear and slowly picked myself up again (finally able to run 5ks again without any pain 5 times a week, watching what I am eating, etc.). I am now back down to 196lbs. I'm determined this time to finally 'finish' my weight loss journey and move into maintenance, etc. TLDR: Realised I bounce off around 195-200lbs mark in past weight loss journeys and determined carry on this time. Has anyone else been in this position before where you inadvertently stop at a certain weight in your weightloss journey multiple times? What made finally reach your goal weight rather than stopping early. [link] [comments] |
| Weekly deficit vs daily deficit - A sustainable plan? Posted: 02 Jul 2021 01:26 AM PDT So I love planning, it's just how I am, I scribble everything and anything and in weight loss it's no different. I currently weigh almost 120kg and I burn approximately 2,700 Kcal per day. Now I was curious and did some research on Calories and kilos and I found out that a kilo is approximately 7,700 Kcal. So I thought why not calculate an approximate? This is what I've come up with : Weekly Calorie Intake Goal : 11,200 Kcal (1600 Kcal/day) Weekly Calorie Output Goal : 20,000 Kcal Weekly Weight Loss : 20,000 – 11,200 = 8,800 Kcal Deficit = 1.14KG Weight Loss Per Week. Monthly Weight Loss : 1.14x4 = 4.5KG Loss Per Month. By sitting 24/7 I burn 18,900 Kcal per week. So I need to burn 1,100 Kcal through exercise every week, which I think is doable in around 90 minutes exercise per week or maybe even less for a person of my weight. Now thing is I wish to do this for as long as humanly possible, I don't want to go back to old binge eating. I mean, if I dine out once every 2 weeks and I eat a bit extra I don't think it would put me back to obese doesn't it? or does it? What I mean by everything I've written back up here, in this post, do you think that this is sustainable in the long run? Say for years to come? Also what do you think about the calculations I made? Please correct me if you find wrong in it! Thank you. [link] [comments] |
