    Update: Canadian here. Gyms are still closed and I have been working on myself for a couple of months. No personal trainer. Now I want some direction in my dieting and Workout.

    Posted: 04 Apr 2021 12:30 PM PDT

    Update from this post - which I have copypasted in multiple subreddits in January (check my post history).

    I will rewrite the important bits of the post so you are aware:

    I live in Canada. My province is now in full lockdown and everything Gym related is closed. Previous to the pandemic, I was losing weight. Not consistently though because I am the type of person that would be very motivated for 1 or 2 months, diet and workout, lose 2 kgs and then let up when things took a toll and I plateaued. I guess I am like every other fat person in their weight loss journey. I used to be nearly 98 kgs and I was overweight in my appearance, I was chubby and I was in the overweight BMI range for my age and height. Over the last 3 years, through clusters of becoming motivated for 2 months, then letting up, and again as a cycle, I finally reached my goal of bringing my BMI into the Healthy range for my age and height, at 83 Kgs. In 2019, my local gym had an offer for personal training, I took it and that gave me my first ever taste of personal training and I loved it; a person there pushing you to your limits, knowing your goal and your health....it kept me at my toes and I was encouraged by it. The other thing that encouraged me was the gym environment as well; seeing others coming day in and day out, trying their best. At 83 kgs, my BMI was healthy, but I still had a lot of fat around my waist and stomach, so during that time, my priority shifted to losing that, but in the entirety of that program (1.5 months), I saw no change and I had to leave that city for other reasons so that was the end of that. In early 2020 (when covid was only in Wuhan), I had a jaw surgery and in its aftermath, I couldn't eat a lot of the things I could before so I had to rely on protein shakes and blended stuff to feed my healing body. So I lost even more weight, down to 80 kgs. This revelation that the protein shakes could keep me full and I can blend some foods gave me a way to cheat my diet and I allowed myself to workout during this time by fasted cardio and resistance bands training. My goal was to see if this extreme dieting can get me any lower and with some difficulty, I was able to come down to 76 kgs by July. Ever since then, the same diet and increased workout schedule hasn't change my body weight; so I naturally gave up - and haven't gone up either (didn't gain muscle, didn't regain fat).

    To understand where I am coming from, that ^ will provide you some really important insight into my struggles, my ambition - and in this post, my target from here on.

    So basically, when I made that thread, I was not working out for about 2 or 3 months because as I said, it was really not showing any signs of improvement and it made me feel discouraged (my waist size and weight was stationary). My body fat according to the US Navy Method was around 22%. This fat that I had on was stubborn fat that had been accumulated since I was much younger - at least 10 years ago.

    Then, a month later, in February, I decided to challenge myself. I reinstalled myfitnesspal, put in a very unbelievable goal weight of 72 kgs. I told myself that even if I manage to get to 75.0 kg, I would consider this to be a success. I started the challenge:

    Here's what I looked like 2021*. I forgot to flex because I didn't have any muscle anywhere. Weight 76.9 kg. Body Fat % 22. BMI - healthy. Age: 25

    myfitnesspal gave me a diet and it 1780 Cals. I thought it was doable. I gave myself until April 5th to complete it. Here's what I did during that time-frame:

    Diet:

    • Breakfast: Relied on stevia sweeteners for coffee and tea. 5% cream and only 1 serving per cup. With it, sometimes either 2 boiled eggs and a slice of Rye bread. Or sometimes a protein shake mixed with a banana. Sometimes, as an extra to drive me to lunch time, I have 1/4 cup of cottage cheese plain.

    • Lunch: Frozen Normandy style veggies from Costco, asparagus and red bell peppers oven cooked with spray-on canola oil. Home-made chicken with spices, OR Pinty's Oven Roasted Chicken (2 breasts) OR Home-made Beef with spices. Sometimes, I would add 3-grain Quinoa to it as well.

    • Dinner: 2 Boiled Eggs and a slice of Rye Bread or the same type of shake from the breakfasts.

    • Snacks: Kirkland mixed nuts, pistachios, walnuts for 2 servings of 30 grams per day. Maybe 1 creamsicle of 70 calories per day as well.

    And let me tell you, this diet was such a shock to my regimen that when I first adapted to it that usually I am starving throughout the day. Like, whenever I have my meal, 2 hours later, I can eat a horse!

    Workout Regimen:

    • Fasted Cardio: 3 times a week for 25 minutes getting my heart-rate into the "fat-blasting" zone (enough to break down the fat, but not muscle). I have an elliptical trainer at home.

    • Quadriceps: 6 times a week for 5 sets - 17 reps. I increased the weight after 3 weeks.

    • Cardio: After Lunch Cardio for 25 mins for 4 times a week.

    • Resistance Bands Training: Complete Upper body workout going over Chest, back, traps, shoulders, biceps and triceps. Also increasing weight every 3 weeks.

    Anyway, so with all that said and done, today, a day before the deadline:

    I look like this. I am flexing to show my muscle gains too.

    Result: Weight 75.8 kg. Body Fat % 21. BMI - healthy. Age 26. sigh

    To me, visually, I look slightly different. I have gained a little muscle in my shoulders, back and arms. My posture has felt a little better. But I am STILL struggling to bring it down past 75.5 and letting it stay. This was something I noticed before: my weight was much more stable staying at 77 kgs back then than when it comes below 76 kgs - it's really volatile.

    So personally, I call this a big fat Failure. I didn't even lose enough to hit 75.0 at any moment during the challenge. Therefore, I think I have to make a decision. I am at a crossroads and here's where I need your help.

    There are 2 ways I can go about this: Gain Muscle OR Lose Stubborn Fat. My end goal (at the very very end) was to look buff enough to look good shirtless, but it seems that I cannot lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. I thought you could do something called Body Recomp where you can start towards building muscle and your body will take the energy from the stored fats and convert it into energy, but I was completely wrong - it doesn't work for me.

    Way 1: I can focus on losing fat first, shifting my diet and workout to blast fat, muscle and anything it can to bring my Body fat % below 15 % and my weight down to 72 kgs (which I think is equivalent).

    or

    Way 2: I can focus on building muscle by eating more protein, shifting my workout to target muscle groups, decreasing my number of cardio workouts to 2 or 3 per week at most and increasing reps and weight more often. Then, with an increased metabolism, I could increase my fat burning and burn the rest off sometime later.

    Without consultation from anybody, I was going to go with Way 2 because all of my life, I have only focused on losing fat - that damn fat that has been with me since grade school. I thought it would be cool to try it out in 55 days and see how it goes. But maybe I am wrong.

    You know my age, my workout regimen, and my diet. Which way is the way to go?

    Thank you.

    Bulimia & weight lose

    Posted: 09 Feb 2021 06:49 PM PST

    I'm 31 years old and I have Bulimia since I had 16 years. Years fighting with my weight because I wanted to be "skinny " but I did it in a really unhealthy way. The funny part is that I didn't was fat (now that I see my old pictures I can tell) the last 3 years my life changed totally. I have a wonderful boyfriend now fiance and a 6 months baby. With my pregnancy I was so worried for my weight because even if the last years I didn't made any crazy diet I was still taking care about my food and how I look. I need to make mention about the last 3 years because is in that time that i won around 25 pounds but i was still looking good. I was worried like always and I was trying to do something but not in a craziest ways. With all the stress about found a good job and the normal stress about life. so the point is that I spend so much time at home and that situation make me be accessible all the time to food so I won weight then I got pregnant I was sad because I was thinking oh God I Got pregnant in the worst stage of my body (155 pounds)... the point is that I won 55 pounds with my pregnancy, can you believe that?? For a woman with Bulimia is like the worts! I lost a lot of weight after my delivery but now I'm stuck and I need to lose 40pounds to feel that I'm good with myself. Lately I being trying do keto diet (honestly that diet make me feel so good) but is really hard for me stay in the right way. I looked for a nutritionist but she told me that first I need to go to therapie to treat my problem. I'm trying the best that I can but I really want to lost weight I being bad last weekend my emotions control me and don't help me at all but I'm going to try to post here my steps and mayb÷ someone want to share with me their experience.... is weird talk about this in public but I think that we should to do it. Is a real problem and I'm sure that nobody is happy living like that.

    What got you over your mental block to start actively losing weight?

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 09:15 AM PST

    I'm a 27 year old woman who is 5'4" and 190lbs. I've been at a weight plateau of 185-190 for maybe 6 or 8 years (I don't even remember anymore). I think that if I had really tried, I might have been able to lose the weight, but I have a serious mental block of not even believing it's possible at this point. I come from a long line of women who did not take care of themselves in any way (physical, mental, emotional) and I'm pretty determined to break that cycle, especially because I now have a daughter who is almost 2 who I want to live a rich and beautiful life that doesn't center worrying about the state of her body. I also want to model being resilient and steadfast and accomplishing challenging goals. Also, I'd really like to just not feel so frail and slow all the time. I want to feel vital. I'm in my 20s and I've literally always felt at least a decade older than I am. Having these very clear motivations in mind, I still have always had a major block to actually committing to sustainable exercise. I actually eat really well. I cook all my meals, eat almost exclusively whole foods and high quality, grass fed or pasture raised, organic meat. I think that prevents me from gaining more weight, but exercise is probably the missing link here. ANYWAY. For those of you who just really had a hard time actually starting and making any real progress, what got you past the mind block? Also thanks for reading my life story 😅

    Looking to lose 70 pounds (31 M)

    Posted: 12 Sep 2020 08:30 AM PDT

    I am sitting around 320 and 6' 6". I had come down to 295 for awhile but that was when my old job as a mail man had me walking 60 miles a week and I was at the gym 5 days a week lifting. My diet was still garbage. Now I don't have access to a gym plus the lifting was hell on my joints. I am working on body weight exercise but being my size I am limited due to space constraints. I really need to narrow down my diet since I have recently found out I have high blood pressure. I have no idea where to start with my diet. I struggle the most with time on making meals and resort to buying food too much. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am probably spending $20 a day in food. I am not a big sweet eater thankfully but fast food is easy.

    Posted: 11 Sep 2020 08:37 PM PDT

    I'm a 23F who is 5'3 and weigh almost 200 pounds. I am overweight and it shows. I want to get down to 135 but idk where to start. I was recommend the Mediterranean diet (mainly for mental health reasons) and I love everything in the diet but my budget is only $50/month on groceries. I also don't know where to start. I have a bad habit of in taking a lot of sugar especially when I'm depressed but I don't know how to cut out sugar or junk food out of my system when I'm feeling crappy. I can't go to a gym because I can't fit a membership in my budget either. Any advice or tips?

    How to Lose Weight :(

    Posted: 04 Sep 2020 06:18 AM PDT

    I'm an 18 years old dude from South Asia. I'm 5'10"-5'11" and Weigh 110KG or 242 lbs. (Height measured with scales not accurate but weight is accurate)
    I'm really in need of help. I wanna lose weight but only through diet, I never lost any weight.
    The highest amount of weight I lost was through Martial arts. I did Martial arts for every day for nearly 4 months and lost 15 KGs but then I got sick due to Dengue and gained 7 KG in a month.
    Afterwards, for time and other problems, I couldn't go to Martial arts since our country don't really have many M.Arts schools.
    I went to the Gym after some months and the lack of workouts they told me to do made me lose nothing (It just wasn't as fun as Martial arts no offence to anyone). Last week of 3 months membership I told myself I won't eat any Rice for a week and I lost 5KGs through no rice and workouts.
    Now in quarantine, I wanna lose weight but also since I'm 18 I really hope to be a little bit taller for myself since I like the 6 feet tall Martial Artist's bodies I see in YouTube and Movies.

    Did anyone go through weight loss or height gain who can have some suggestions How can I lose weight through diet and maybe less workout since it's quarantine?
    Also, if there's any diet or exercise routine or yoga or ANYTHING that will help me to lose weight and maybe gain height if Possible.
    I really need help Please help me :(

    The Beginner's Guide On How To Get Into Running - Blue Runners

    Posted: 20 Aug 2020 04:07 AM PDT

    With more than 180,000 fitness clubs around the world, it is no surprise that losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle is among the top resolutions being set every new year. Our bodies were made to move and be active, but it can be difficult to figure out what works for you. It can be intimidating going into a gym for the first time, and even more difficult to learn how to lift weights and the proper form that comes with each exercise.
