| I (34F) ran 1/4 mile without stopping! Posted: 07 Aug 2021 04:00 PM PDT I'm not a runner. Even as a fit 110 pound competitive swimmer in high school, I could not run — my knees hurt, my ankles hurt, I ruined my 4.0 GPA in high school because of gym class. I walked the mile, even though I also swam the mile. Let me reiterate: Not. A. Runner. Yesterday I ran a full lap around the track without stopping. A month ago I struggled with running 50 feet at a time. We're talking out of shape fat lady approaching middle age nonsense. It was a victory. No pain, felt easy, stopped because I was so surprised! For the past month, I ate at a caloric deficit, watched my carbs, went to the gym daily (even just to walk on the treadmill at an incline), and discovered that I love hiking! So does my dog! In the past month, I've lost 11 pounds, I ran 1/4 mile without stopping, and I'm crushing the hikes that felt like torture 2 weeks ago. It wasn't a crash diet or a sudden, drastic change. It was a caloric deficit and consistency every day. Hiking, walking, swimming, jogging, lifting weights. Just something. We can do it!!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2021 06:38 AM PDT Female 28, 5'4" SW:230lb CW:190lb GW:160lb So when Covid started I started my weight loss journey. I want to be healthier and with covid and teleworking (and this being the first time in my life having 1 job) I finally had the time and energy to dedicate to weight loss. That and I have a whole lot less stress! At first it was beyond frustrating CICO was always my choice on how to tackle my weight. I upped my water, increased exercise, decrease my calories, and I started loosing weight- SLOWLY. So slowly in fact my doctor was concerned, becuase yes I consulted my doctor and kept her in the loop. We had a thyroid test done, and well nothing, no problem. But I kept pressing on, and now I'm ok with the slow and steady. Sometimes it is frustrating seeing others post their weight loss success and they've lost more in a much shorter time! But at the end of the day, I can proudly say I've lost 40lbs so far! It has taken a year and a half… buts it's over half way! [link] [comments] |
| In defense of weighing yourself daily Posted: 07 Aug 2021 10:35 AM PDT I feel like writing this because I keep encountering this mindset on very popular weight loss YouTube channels and subs - that you should only weigh yourself once a week or once a month or even rarely. I encountered it twice this morning. This is contrary to what has been helpful for me. I have found weighing myself every day to be useful and actually motivating for me. So I want to state the case for weighing yourself every day and my experiences in case it might be useful for someone else. Proponents of weekly/monthly weigh-ins often have this argument - there are aberrations/fluctuations in your weight that can cause it to increase or not move consistently for a period of days and some people find that checking on their weight every day and experiencing these fluctuations actually hurts their motivation because they don't see the results. Having longer periods of time between weighing increases the likelihood that you will see decreases in your weight because over a longer period of time with more opportunity for weight loss, the fluctuations will matter less. It also gives people something to look forward to, if they have a set day of the week/month that they weigh in. It can help motivation to be able to look forward to a day where you get to see your progress on the scale. These are good arguments and they work well for some people. For me personally, daily weighing actually has the same motivating power that people argue weekly/monthly weighing does. You get to see the progress more immediately, which in many cases has kept me motivated to maintain my calorie deficit on days that I otherwise was not feeling like dieting. If I see a new lowest weight on the scale, I'm even more motivated that day to strictly maintain my calorie deficit to see if I can get it even lower the next day. The consequences of your actions are more immediately obvious. If I have a cheat day, I can see that on the scale the next day, too. (Most of that weight is probably sodium-related, it's actually hard to eat enough calories in one day to gain enough fat to see an actual fat gain on the scale, when your scale only moves in .2 lb increments). But still, the consequences of a bad decision keep it fresh in my mind that I can just as easily gain weight like I did for many years if I don't eat at or below my TDEE. This has saved me many times from having a whole week of bad choices, if I know I have to reckon with it on the scale every morning. I'm the type of person that would put off changing my behavior if I knew that I wouldn't have to reckon with the scale until Sunday or the 31st of the month. I would tell myself, I have a little time to get back on the wagon. I would justify treats and overeating that way. If I decided that I was only going to weigh in every three months, I would put off actually dieting until the weigh-in date was much closer and I would be satisfied with any little weight loss. In reality, if I was weighing in more frequently, I would put in more overall effort to see weight loss at every weigh-in and probably lose more over the same three month period. This is why I find weighing in daily so helpful. The benefits summarized are really that you can see much more quickly how your actions affect your weight and adjust if necessary and if you're motivated to stick to your diet by an impending weigh-in, having less time between weigh-ins means less potential time to fall off the wagon and not have to reckon with the scale. To address the fluctuations that daily weigh-in naysayers are concerned about: This is maybe something more relevant to people who are just beginning their weight loss who aren't used to weighing themselves regularly and aren't accustomed to the fluctuations you see if you weigh yourself regularly. I've been dieting for over a year now and have lost 46 pounds. I have weighed myself nearly every day. I have come to realize the fluctuations/things outside of actual body fat content that affect my weight and recognize when those things are behind some inexplicable weight gain/plateau. And it doesn't affect my motivation because I know that my fat loss is not being affected because I'm still maintaining a calorie deficit and I will pee out this giant sodium-related water retention that resulted from consuming Wendy's chili in a couple days and that lo and behold my calorie deficit will in fact yield fat loss even if my actual body weight was up for a couple days. There is some fluctuation like this affecting my weight only a few days per month. Most days I see the immediate results of my deficit, which is motivating. For me personally, there are three main factors that will cause a weight fluctuation: 1. My menstrual cycle (since I'm a lady). Usually causes a 2-4 pound water weight/bloating gain right before my period begins that I will gradually pee out over the course of my period. 2. Bowel changes/irregularities. Constipation can make it seem like you're gaining weight/plateaued, but then you have a bowel movement and realize you've actually lost weight. 3. Sodium-related water retention. Some foods like canned soups and fast food are sodium bombs that can cause 2+ pounds of weight gain. You'll pee out the water in a couple days and realize that if you maintained your calorie deficit, you still will have lost weight. Once you realize what these things are and recognize when they're happening, you don't sweat a little fluctuation on the scale. It's often easy to connect the dots. "Oh, I'm up a pound today, but I covered my food in soy sauce yesterday, that's probably why." I have a calendar that I only use for writing down my weight every day. It's actually fascinating that I can look back and tell when all my periods over the last year were because of the 4-5 days of minor weight gain that don't fit the general downward trendline. I say all this to illustrate that it's easy to recognize when something outside of your body fat is affecting the number on the scale. If you are going to weigh yourself daily, do it in a consistent fashion. In the morning after using the bathroom but before eating/drinking anything is best. I do it right before I step into the shower in the morning. This will help with things that might cause you to see fluctuations aside from physiological things like water retention. I hope this is helpful for someone. It seems like all the advice out there in the online weight loss world is arguing for the other side and I thought it would be helpful to say that there are pros/cons to both daily and less frequent weighing and that I've had success doing the opposite of what all the advice seems to be saying. Consistent weight loss is really more about sticking to it for a long period of time. And you have to find what works best for you to be able to stick to it for a long period of time, and what works for you might not be the blanket advice that works for most people. I've found that there are not hard and fast rules for weight loss other than the fact that achieving a calorie deficit through some means seems to be the only thing necessary. It's whatever works that you can stick with. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2021 02:53 PM PDT Long time lurker, first time poster (using throwaway for this). But... has anyone noticed a difference in how they're treated in social situations or even just in public in general since losing weight? Cause I just need to rant a bit (hopefully its allowed) Over the past three years, I've lost 80 lbs and gone through a body recomp going from 210 lbs to 130 lbs (5'6" F, 25) after being obese my whole life. I'm now maintaining aside from continuing to tone up/build muscle. I was lucky in how I lost weight in that I lost almost all of it from my stomach and face while maintaining my boobs and butt, so I went from an apple shape to an hourglass shape. Before I lost weight, I was pretty much invisible in social situations. People in public acted like I didn't exist and I was always that token fat friend amongst my social groups. Now... everything is different. Strangers notice me... but not necessarily in a good way? Men are friendlier and more talkative in general, but it almost always leads into flirting or trying to ask me out. The worst of them leer, make vulgar comments and just overall act creepy (I know not ALL guys are like this, so pls don't pm me anything angry about that). I've also noticed that women in general are ruder to me than before... but I don't think I'm acting any different to provoke that kind of reaction. Many of my friends no longer invite me out as much and almost act like they're threatened when I'm around their boyfriends or go to bars with them (since I get attention there now too; before I never did). I also get unwanted comments from friends, coworkers and family about what I'm eating, how I'm "starving myself", and them trying to push food on me or claiming that I'm not "enjoying life" because I stopped eating as much junk food. Basically trying to get me to gain weight back. I was so excited about losing weight as I can now dress more fashionably and pull off styles I never could before... but now that I'm there I feel like I want to hide in my oversized clothes again to try to avoid the attention I'm getting. It sucks lmao. At least I feel better health-wise. Rant over, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else who has been successful in weight loss experienced this. TLDR: Lost a bunch of weight, now people treat me different but not necessarily in a good way. [link] [comments] |
| I started rewarding myself with exercise & went for a long hike! Posted: 07 Aug 2021 11:37 AM PDT I've been depressed lately -- hard to get out of bed, hard to socialize, hard hard hard. I'm also down 22 pounds since May (SW: 217, CW: 195, GW: 140) ~ weird, because usually when my mental health is trash, so is what I'm putting in my body, but I've actually committed to lifestyle changes for the first time ever. So much is out of my control right now and I'm pretty pandemic- and climate-anxious and just down as hell, so eating healthy, tracking calories, and getting in some form of exercise daily all feel so manageable in comparison. I can do those! Maybe those are the only things I can do right now! Since May I've been gradually upping my exercise: walking, running, a little strength training at the gym, dance workout videos, yoga videos. For the first time in my life, exercise feels untethered from weight loss -- finally internalized that I don't need to exercise to lose weight, but I love feeling myself grow stronger. Things I never thought I could do several months ago (5k runs!) are routine now and so much easier than they used to be. So when a couple plans got cancelled earlier this week because vaccinated friends tested positive for COVID and my brain did the bad virus spiral again, I decided to plan a hike for the coming Saturday, today. This plan got me through the week like nothing else. I was counting down the days. I decided to hike the full stretch of trails near my house, out and back, 16 miles. Unlike my other forms of rewarding myself (eating food, buying shit I don't need online), this had no adverse effects on some other part of my life. I was just really excited about something that's good for me! I woke up a little before 5 this morning, grabbed my backpack and went. I saw the sunrise on trails I had all to myself! I hiked through all sorts of terrain for five hours, longer than I've ever gone before. Around mile 12 my body was definitely like "okaY that's enough" and I feel sore and exhausted for sure now, but the experience was pretty incredible. Hiking euphoria is the real deal. When I got back I took a hot shower and made myself the kind of breakfast I haven't had in a long time: syrupy pancakes, bacon and eggs, coffee, large portions of all of the above. It was nice, but I was too distracted by looking at pictures I'd taken during my hike to finish it all. Also pretty eye-opening that I used to eat that kind of meal all the time on weekend mornings before (1000 calories!). So, anyway. Hiking is the shit, weight loss has empowered me to be accountable to myself and spend quality time with myself, I'm grateful for what my body is capable of doing and the ways it can change. Here's a cute view from this morning, too. I love this sub <3 [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2021 04:07 PM PDT I (24F) started my weight loss journey in early 2021. 5 months in, after cooking at home, weighing my food, tracking my intake, and using Peloton a couple of times a week, I lost 20 lbs! I could see some gain in muscle and looked more toned than when I started. I decided to keep up my routine and not weigh myself every day, but rather every couple of weeks. After going on vacation and relaxing for some time, I weighed myself... and realized I had gained all the weight back. I stared at myself in the mirror, wondering where this new weight had decided to settle. I wondered if I was just bloated with water weight, because I didn't look like I did when I first started my weight loss journey. After freaking out for a couple of days, I decided not to wallow and go back to what I knew was working, but wasn't showing up on the scale. Well, today I was staying at my parents' home and noticed they had a scale. I stepped on and saw that I WAS actually 20 lbs lighter than my starting weight! Turns out, my "smart" scale was not calibrated properly and was displaying an inaccurate number. This has truly made me realize that the scale IS just a number, and that whatever was on that scale didn't change the fact that I did lose fat, gain muscle, and learn how to take better care of myself. I will still be using the scale, but I've learned not to rely on it when the change is something I can see in the mirror and feel in my bones! [link] [comments] |
| How I lost 40lbs eating anything I want and my step by step guide of how I did it Posted: 07 Aug 2021 09:39 AM PDT TLDR below. Who: 29 year old male 6 feet. Grew up skinny as a child but in my 20s got up to 220 lbs. What: Lost 40lbs in 5.5 months eating anything I want. How: Staying under 1500 calories daily (this total was adjusted. I started at 1700 and slowly moved down as I lost weight) Starting weight: 212lbs (BMI 29.6 --> .4 away from "Obesity")Finishing weight: 171lbs (And still going probably) Secret: Greek Yogurt and Water --- Prelude: To start I know nothing about weight loss. When I was 23 or so I did the Tim Ferriss slow carb diet and had great success (lost 15 months in one month while also doing 30,000 steps a day as a landscaper). I know this isn't healthy and the restriction of that type of diet is so dreadful... ALWAYS eating eggs and chicken is brutal. The mental aspect of losing weight is greatly underrated. Since I don't know what I'm doing, take this post as a grain of salt since I don't know the potential health issues with this diet. But I didn't care because I knew my weight was holding my self-esteem back. --- Story: February 2021: Almost 1 year into Covid and I'm at 212lbs and not feeling good about it. I turned 29 which I think was a bit of a mental shock. I can't get away doing dumb shit with eating habits and still "being healthy". I'm not a kid anymore, 30 is around the corner. I REALLY didn't want to do a restrictive diet. That scared me cuz I've usually failed at it because sometimes you just fucking crave a cookie or Popeyes. PLUS I would ALWAYS be hungry. So I found a post on either Reddit/YouTube talking about how weight loss is strictly about calorie deficit. I bought in. If I could not be hungry while dieting, and eat what I want, I think I can do this.... --- Step by step: (Step 5 is the only mandatory step) Step 1: Buy a food scale. They're not expensive. Step 2: Download MyFitnessApp (I'm not associated --> extremely good for tracking calories). AND TRACK THE CALORIES OF EVERYTHING YOU EAT. In the app you can scan barcodes of food that will give you the exact calorie count. ALWAYS be conservative with your estimations. If you're not sure if a banana is 80 calories or 100 calories, then mark it as 100 calories. Step 3: In the app, add your goal weight and how much you want to lose per week. Choose "Sedentary" lifestyle (even if you're not). I chose 1.5lbs a week. (I've read 2lbs a week should be max.) Step 4: Load up on 0% Greek Yogurt. This is the magic pill for me (see pics below - lol). Greek Yogurt is low in calories and high in protein. This shit will fill you up without hurting your calorie count. Also, drink a shit ton of water. I am doing about 2-3L per day (I would look up what is a safe amount for your gender/weight). Step 5: Eat whatever the fuck you want but stay under your daily calorie count. I ate cookies, Subway, A&W, Popeyes throughout the 5 months. I unfortunately couldn't eat at other restaurants because not all of them give calorie information. Remember to be conservative in calorie estimation Step 6: Track your weight in the morning after you pee. Some people say do this once a week. I did it daily. I don't know why but I needed to remind myself of my goal (the action of stepping on the scale). Weight loss isn't linear in my experience. It acts more like a dropping chart on the stock market. 3lbs down and 1lb up is still 2lbs down --> Your brain may try telling you otherwise Conclusion: I can't tell you how good it feels to be back into a normal BMI (23). Clothes not fitting is such a good feeling. I bought a belt in 2015 that I still use. I started at hole 3, then got fat and ended up at hole 1 (barely fitting), and now the belt is too big for me. It's so fun putting the belt on to what I was at my worst and seeing how huge it is. Overall, I just feel better about myself and very proud of what I've done. Next step is to bulk up a bit (now I can't get away with fat guy arms making me look muscular hah!) --- Tips: - Protein shakes helped me a lot. Every morning I had a scoop of protein (35g), handful of spinach, 220g of frozen berries, a banana, and 250g of 0% greek yogurt. Filled me up quite a bit and only ~500 calories. Added some iron and omega 3 supplements and this checked several nutrition boxes - I tried eating things high in protein as my understanding (I could be wrong) is that this is what fills you up - Buy into this being the most important thing you do. Put priority in this over other things in your life. ---> Take this with a grain of salt, everyone's life situation is different. But I turned down "drinking with the buddies" (for example) in order to focus on this. The calorie intake takes precedent. - MyFitnessApp has an ability to look up food calorie count that don't come with a calorie chart. For example a chicken breast from the market. - DON'T TELL ANYBODY ABOUT YOUR GOAL. Dopamine release occurs in ANTICIPATION of a goal. When you tell people about your goal it makes the brain think the goal is being reached which actually decreases this release, making motivation/action more difficult. (Yes I'm a psychology master's student) - No seriously eat what you want. If you have 200 calories to go today and you feel like a 200 calorie cookie, eat the fucking cookie. For me, being too strict made me less eager to get this done. - Don't adjust your goal. I always had my eye set on 170lbs. Guys my height at 160lbs look too skinny to me so I was happy with 170. That's 40lbs which 99% of people will never accomplish. I didn't care. I was going to do it cuz I knew it would feel amazing. My eyes were set at 170. When I got to 175 I got a little lazy with it so I had to have a check with myself. 175 isn't good enough for me, 170 is the goal. - If you do cardio/workout. That counts as extra calories for the day. Sometimes I wanted food that was above my calorie daily count. For example I had 100 calories left in the day and I wanted to eat a 200 calorie cookie. So I would get on the treadmill/bike and do a 100 calorie workout. (Remember: These calculations are ESTIMATIONS --> ALWAYS be conservative.) - Coke Zero (while not good for you) has 0 calories. It was nice having that kick beyond water every once in a while. - Greek Yogurt: As I said this is the magic pill for me. What most people say is "Doesn't it taste bad". Ummmm no it tastes like fucking victory. Yes it tastes bad but honestly I don't mind because I know it's helping GREATLY. It's like the old Buckley's commercials --> It tastes awful and it works. I'd rather be full and eat greek yogurt than hungry. --- My progress chart: https://imgur.com/K98nDZ5 5.5 months of Greek Yogurt: https://imgur.com/86GiFn8 TLDR: I ate anything I wanted and stayed under my daily calorie goal and lost 40lbs in 5.5 months.

| I started tracking calories again today... Posted: 07 Aug 2021 04:22 PM PDT and OMG, no wonder I haven't been losing weight the last year. Background: 5'4", 24F, SW: 175lbs, CW: 145lbs, GW: 129lbs. I lost 30 lbs in about a year (slow and steady) by walking and counting calories. When I hit 145lbs, which was over a year ago, I kind of stopped tracking because I felt pretty content with where I was. I recently started running and working out again, I have noticed when I workout a lot I look slimmer and more fit, but I have been pretty lazy with counting calories. Even though I eat healthy and exercise, I have lost no weight. Well, to make a long story short, today I decided I am pretty serious about losing some extra pounds and I really just want to stop fantasizing about being 130lbs, and just make it happen. Well, I just put in what I've eaten today to myfitnesspal, and omg, I've already hit my calorie goal for the day (1500cals). THIS is why people don't lose weight if they don't track. Even if you run for 20 minutes in a day , you aren't guaranteed to lose weight (which yes, we all knew, but I didn't want to admit LOL)!!! I tracked for a year on and off when I had lost my 30 lbs. I thought I was being intuitive. Even though I maintained my weight, I was not losing anything, even with the runs I mentioned. The truth is, I'll save myself a lot of mental gymnastics and wondering why I'm not losing weight, if I just keep tracking. Anyway, I am happy to start my journey again :) I'm hoping to see a difference on the scale soon. Also, maybe this post was helpful or relatable for someone? For some reason I thought I didn't need to count calories to lose weight... but after a year of not counting and staying the same weight, I do need to track LOL!! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2021 11:04 PM PDT 30F/5'2/CW81kg I know this might be a strange post here - but I was in a pretty bad way with my over eating up until about a month ago, it's then that I decided my first step was to not put on any more weight, so I found my maintenance, and have stuck at it for 4 weeks. Within a few days I dropped 1kg probably just water weight from all the rubbish I was eating…and since then I have not put on any weight…this is a success story for me, because ultimately I want my new diet to be as sustainable as possible. My next step is to drop down 100cal a day, from 1800 to 1700 (maintenance calories for my goal weight (56kg) is 1400cal so that's my eventual goal) I am notoriously inconsistent with my training, although I've managed to go to the gym 4 times a week for the last two weeks I cannot rely on this and must be vigilant with my calorie intake. Just wanted to share. [link] [comments] |
| I am so sick of people claiming that CICO doesn't work Posted: 08 Aug 2021 01:27 AM PDT Calories in, calories out is not a "fad diet," nor is it a gimmick. It's literally the mechanism by which humans store/burn the energy they derive from food. Any time I want to read an article or a forum post discussing a CICO approach to weightloss, someone will inevitably chime in to say IT DOESN'T WORK, YOU CAN ACTUALLY GAIN WEIGHT BY COUNTING CALORIES but... that's literally not possible. It can get really discouraging. People love to tell me that I'm guaranteed to gain the weight back and that CICO isn't sustainable. It's been months of steady weightloss already doing nothing but maintaining a calorie deficit and I've lost about 50 pounds with very little effort. The proof is in the pudding. I just had to get this off my chest. I'm sure there are even people here who think CICO "doesn't work," but just because something doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's fake or impossible.

| Does 'normal' pace walking promote calorie burn? Posted: 08 Aug 2021 12:20 AM PDT So back in April I was 135kg now I'm currently 113kg and I've done it by adjusting my diet to around 1,500 calories/day, sometimes less sometimes more. Let's say 1300-1700 calories a day. Now I was thinking of incorporating relax walking, just normal pace not brisk, into my everyday life. How much energy would a 113kg man use for walking at a moderate/normal pace for 30 minutes everyday? I've only done it once, last Wednesday, and I noticed I sweat a lot too. I've walked for 20 minutes for my first time and I really felt better afterwards but I wanted to find an estimate for walking 30 minutes everyday. Even if I burn just 150 calories in those 30 minutes I'd be happy! Eventually I plan to increase walking to 1hr sessions too and 300 calories sounds phenomenal for just 1 hour I mean most of the time I consume 300 calories for lunch so that would be like skipping lunch for a 1hr walk.

| I now see why I weigh myself daily Posted: 07 Aug 2021 11:09 PM PDT I will admit my relationship with the scale needs improvement, but I see my relationship with both it and food the same I would see it as the one I might have with another person, or rather, myself. Because it's not the scale I'm truly upset with when things don't go my way… it's myself. I have tried not to weigh daily. I have tried to throw away the scale or whatever, but the truth is it has become an important part of my journey and when things go bad, I tend to freak out and blame the scale but I just had the epiphany that it is not the scales fault. Sometimes it's entirely my own because I lack acceptance of the fact that the body does mysterious things with itself and my own toxic belief that I can't live until I've reached thin. Today I felt so defeated and depressed because I weighed in at 239 compared to 237.4 on Tuesday… but then I saw this beautiful fluctuation and I came to understand why I weigh myself daily. The weight loss journey has definitely slowed down a bit from my SW of 318 last August to CW of 238.2 now (going by the moving average the app gave me) and suddenly I don't feel so defeated anymore because even though I've only really lost 14 pounds in the past 3 months or so, that trendline is still going on an epic downward slope. I am winning and I am never giving up. I might not hit 200 at the end of the year but I will be so happy to hit 220. [link] [comments] |
| Do you miss not feeling "controlled" by what you can eat? Posted: 07 Aug 2021 05:16 PM PDT Hi there! I've personally lost weight a few times in the past and have always gained it back to hit another all-time high. About 40 days ago, I realized I got to a massive all-time high and it freaked me out so I started my "diet" again. Since then, I'm down ~15 pounds or so. I don't feel miserable or unhappy and I'm essentially doing CICO, trying to get in as much protein as possible, and eating meals I enjoy (with proper substitutions like low-fat cheese, low-carb tortillas, lean meats instead of their fattier versions, etc.) In all the times I've lost weight in the past, I never actually hit my goal weight but would always lose 15-20 pounds and then "take a break" and gain it all back. That's why I feel better about this time because I'm determined to get to my goal weight but I'm doing it in phases (the first phase ends in 20 days and I'll have maybe one cheat day and a little bit of time on maintenance before starting phase two). All of that being said, I've told myself that this is my final weight loss journey. I'm losing it and keeping it off this time because I'm sick of "losing" weight all the time. But a part of me is terrified about falling off the wagon and gaining it all back like before. Is there anything you guys have done to deal with this mentally? Also, sometimes I feel so controlled (even though my diet is not very restrictive) but at times I miss stuffing my face with fast food to my heart's content and not having a care in the world about calories, even though it made me feel horrible after and, well, caused me to gain so much weight.

| I’m losing weight and I hate everyone commenting on it! Posted: 07 Aug 2021 08:07 PM PDT This year has been a huge overhaul of my mental health. Part of figuring out how to help my mental health was finding out that I was gluten intolerant, and needed to cut out most refined sugar (which included drinking alcohol) and cows milk. I've also been doing talk therapy weekly , neurofeedback therapy twice weekly and trying to walk every day. I also have a very long history with an eating disorder (currently at day 205 with no Ed behaviors!). I also have been spending the past 7 years working on accepting my body as it is. A physical side effect from all of these new habits is losing a almost 50lbs. It's really uncomfortable when people congratulate me on losing weight because I wasn't trying to lose it. I spent all those years learning to accept my body and then, I get all these comments and compliments about losing weight when I liked what I looked like before, but it looks like everyone else didn't. It makes me INCREDIBLY uncomfortable when people comment or compliment on it because it's like they're saying they didn't like what I looked like before and it just reminds me of the trauma that I've been trying to process to help with my severe PTSD. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle the comments to shut them down but not hurt their feelings. I know they don't mean any harm, but the anxiety that I get from it is palpable.

| Having your heart broken helps! (35M) (SV) -65lbs! Posted: 07 Aug 2021 10:24 PM PDT Hi guys, first post Im'ma give it my best to make the post worthwhile! I stepped on the scale at work today to see 99kg (Going to use lbs from here on but my scale at work is kg and it was a nice number!). I literally thought the scale was wrong at first. "Is this one broken?" was the first through to go through my head. However this is the culmination of about two years of "work" and one year of actual work. 2 years ago I met a lady who seemed to be a dream come true for me. And while I'm tempted to go into the long, sad story, that's not the point of this post nor subreddit. It ended with, "Well Clay, I thought you were going to lose weight and you really haven't. You know I'm not attracted to fat guys. Goodbye." I was devastated. When I met her I was 270lbs. This was my biggest in over a decade and a half and I was determined to work on it anyway. I had previously gone from 300lbs to 199lbs in college. So the journey began! Over the year i tried various things but just couldn't get down below 250! I tried one meal a day and keto, primarily. However I was struggling. The one meal a day was often 2k calories or more, and on keto I was hamstrung by family coming over to offer free food or ask me to pick them up something. (It bears mentioning my stepdad has been losing weight for no really well explained reason and mom was having me get him things like milkshakes to give him calories.... I was too weak to not say no to milkshakes!) I was getting frustrated and 250lb was a "checkpoint weight" for g/f and I that I. Just. Couldn't. Reach. I tried adding weightlifting to my routine, biking, etc. If you think about the timeline...guess what happened around this time? Yup, Covid. It became difficult to go the gym but i lucked up with a friend of mine having a home gym but it wasn't as good as PF. Then I had KNEE SURGERY for a torn meniscus from a fall before. I had a lot going against me and due to that I struggled. The break up came and went as described above. After a bit of a pity party, I started to get mad... I started to get pissed and I started to get motivated! Aaron Bleyaert famously tweeted something to the effect of "Want to lose weight? Get your heart broken!" Oh, I found it! and boy do I agree with that advice now. I had always planned on getting back on keto, but suddenly the hunger pains didn't bother me as bad. The food was less an issue than me worrying about self improvement. I also got back to work which helped a lot, having a routine and schedule (plus on this contract i was on my feet a lot.) I essentially combined Keto with OMAD, with the small exception of allowing myself some kind of snack if I were hungry. Only enough to not be hungry though! I'm talking about one keto peanut butter cup or one smoked sausage, that kinda thing. The weight started coming off! Before I knew it I had blasted past the 250lb barrier that had stopped me before. I found myself eating less, even for my one meal. I found that, for the most part, my cravings went away. I do allow myself one cheat meal a week, though. It is enough to keep me satisfied and I find it doesn't blow my ketosis. I eat more veggies than off keto. I honestly think i can eat like this forever. So, motivation coming from heartache is not something that most people would want/can/need to experience. I think the motivation needs to come from within. Maybe having a boost is fine but at the end of the day it comes from you! This is encapsulated in something that happened to me early this year. I was nearing the end of my contract and that meant a cross country drive. I figured "eh I'm already gonna have to eat out on the drive, might as well start now! (Almost two weeks early)" I had myself a few off-keto meals and then... I was holding a platter of sushi from a grocery store. I love sushi. Then why am I borderline in tears holding this sushi? I was feeling like shit. I was thinking of the progress I had made and how these past few meals was ruining it. I knew I was bumping up on ruining my ketosis and, while confident I could reign it in eventually, I do not have a 100% success rate.... But I hadn't had sushi in a while... I wish I could tell you I put the sushi down. I wish I could at least tell you it was some amazing sushi that was totally worth it. It wasn't. It was garbage supermarket-grade sushi and I bought it and eat that shit like the fatass I was, seasoning it not with soy sauce but the tears of my own weakness. BUT! I decided to get my shit back together, stop right after that and even did my best to stay on keto during the drive home. Honestly, I think that's about all there is to say. After that incident I've been very strict on myself to not go off any more than my usual cheat days. I also eat well for my meal. I've gotten to where my food is just a thing I do, not something I think about all day, everyday. And today, after not even really worrying about weighing myself often anymore, I checked on myself and saw 99kg... NINETY-NINE kilograms! Want some NSV? My old 42in pants I have worn for like 5 years literally can't stay up anymore. I had to buy new pants! I'd say the takeaway is that outside factors can influence us and our performance. But I think its important to find the reason to do things for yourself (and what works for you.) I think if my weight loss had been simply motivated by something as superficial as "Ugh I'm so mad at her!" I wouldn't had stopped after that sushi... Celebrate the successes. Be strict on yourself but also congratulate yourself on the lbs lost. I won't lie to you and tell you there weren't times I thought, "Well I'm 245lbs now and that's only ten pounds less..." with some element of disappointment. But time will march on. You can be ten pounds less in two months or two years but you'll still reach that time all the same. Take the steps. Edit; great. Miscalculated. It was actually 55lbs not 65.

| I’m down 23 pounds and 3 pants sizes! Posted: 07 Aug 2021 01:26 PM PDT In January, I had an anxiety attack over my weight. After that, I found this sub, looked at the wiki, and started eating at a deficit. Just smaller portions and a lot less dessert, that's all. I started at a size 16 in women's pants and now am a size 10! I'll probably drop down even more when I get down to my goal weight, whenever that may be. I honestly feel so much better on this deficit, and never plan to go back to eating as much as I used to. I'm excited to continue on this journey! Stats: AFAB 19 5'3 SW: 177 CW: 154 GW: 130. I eat +- 1350 cals a day, with flexibility. I try not to go over enough to make my weekly average of calories on MFP more than 1375 or so. And I haven't cut any foods out of my diet. Instead, I've been focused on eating less snacks and more filling, smaller meals. It's always great when I have enough for a piece of chocolate, though. [link] [comments] |
| Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Sunday, 08 August 2021? Start here! Posted: 07 Aug 2021 09:31 PM PDT Today is your Day 1? Welcome to r/Loseit! So you aren't sure of how to start? Don't worry! "How do I get started?" is our most asked question. r/Loseit has helped our users lose over 1,000,000 recorded pounds and these are the steps that we've found most useful for getting started. Why you're overweight Our bodies are amazing (yes, yours too!). In order to survive before supermarkets, we had to be able to store energy to get us through lean times, we store this energy as adipose fat tissue. If you put more energy into your body than it needs, it stores it, for (potential) later use. When you put in less than it needs, it uses the stored energy. The more energy you have stored, the more overweight you are. The trick is to get your body to use the stored energy, which can only be done if you give it less energy than it needs, consistently. Before You Start The very first step is calculating your calorie needs. You can do that HERE. This will give you an approximation of your calorie needs for the day. The next step is to figure how quickly you want to lose the fat. One pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of fat per week you will need to consume 500 calories less than your TDEE (daily calorie needs from the link above). 750 calories less will result in 1.5 pounds and 1000 calories is an aggressive 2 pounds per week. Tracking Here is where it begins to resemble work. The most efficient way to lose the weight you desire is to track your calorie intake. This has gotten much simpler over the years and today it can be done right from your smartphone or computer. r/loseit recommends an app like MyFitnessPal, Loseit! (unaffiliated), or Cronometer. Create an account and be honest with it about your current stats, activities, and goals. This is your tracker and no one else needs to see it so don't cheat the numbers. You'll find large user created databases that make logging and tracking your food and drinks easy with just the tap of the screen or the push of a button. We also highly recommend the use of a digital kitchen scale for accuracy. Knowing how much of what you're eating is more important than what you're eating. Why? This may explain it. Creating Your Deficit How do you create a deficit? This is up to you. r/loseit has a few recommendations but ultimately that decision is yours. There is no perfect diet for everyone. There is a perfect diet for you and you can create it. You can eat less of exactly what you eat now. If you like pizza you can have pizza. Have 2 slices instead of 4. You can try lower calorie replacements for calorie dense foods. Some of the communities favorites are cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash in place of their more calorie rich cousins. If it appeals to you an entire dietary change like Keto, Paleo, Vegetarian. The most important thing to remember is that this selection of foods works for you. Sustainability is the key to long term weight management success. If you hate what you're eating you won't stick to it. Exercise Is NOT mandatory. You can lose fat and create a deficit through diet alone. There is no requirement of exercise to lose weight. It has it's own benefits though. You will burn extra calories. Exercise is shown to be beneficial to mental health and creates an endorphin rush as well. It makes people feel *awesome* and has been linked to higher rates of long term success when physical activity is included in lifestyle changes. Crawl, Walk, Run It can seem like one needs to make a 180 degree course correction to find success. That isn't necessarily true. Many of our users find that creating small initial changes that build a foundation allows them to progress forward in even, sustained, increments. Acceptance You will struggle. We have all struggled. This is natural. There is no tip or trick to get through this though. We encourage you to recognize why you are struggling and forgive yourself for whatever reason that may be. If you overindulged at your last meal that is ok. You can resolve to make the next meal better. Do not let the pursuit of perfect get in the way of progress. We don't need perfect. We just want better. Additional resources Now you're ready to do this. Here are more details, that may help you refine your plan.

| Mini trampolines for weight loss and exercise goals Posted: 07 Aug 2021 03:04 PM PDT I just wanted to share how helpful using a mini trampoline has been for me in the past year. Like many others, the pandemic took a toll on my fitness and weight loss efforts. Where I live, gyms were closed and masks were required while walking outdoors, even when no one else was around, so I pretty much stopped exercising. It was upsetting, and my diet also got worse from not exercising (out of boredom and feeling less motivated, I guess). I finally had enough and bought a mini trampoline from Walmart for about $35, and it's been a great purchase! I use it to jog in place as a replacement for a treadmill or elliptical. There are other ways to use it for resistance training as well, but I'm a cardio queen so I can't give my personal experience with that. Although I bought it for use during quarantine, I still love using it for a daily workout. It's really great for moments when I don't feel like leaving the house, and also when my motivation is low and don't feel like going to the gym. When I lack motivation, I can convince myself to do a 10-minute jog on the trampoline, and I often continue longer or keep doing mini-workouts throughout the day. This is also really great if I don't have time for a full workout. I live in an apartment, and it takes up barely any space. I've also asked my downstairs neighbor if she can hear any sort of pounding when I use the trampoline, and she said that she's never had. TL;DR: Mini trampolines can be an affordable, portable, convenient tool to add to an exercise routine. [link] [comments] |
| My cute clothes are too big on me (A win! But also a little frustrating.) Posted: 07 Aug 2021 07:21 AM PDT I'm currently at my lowest weight since starting college; I'm about to begin my senior year now. I started college around 200 lbs and stayed around there until recently, and now I'm at 185. I'm 5'2 so every pound lost especially makes a difference on me. I'm extremely happy and proud of myself for where I'm at on my journey, but this morning I was going through my closet trying to find an outfit and got so frustrated because everything suddenly looks so BAGGY on me now. All my old go-to cute outfits don't look the same and I'm struggling to find things in my closet that look good on me, which is annoying. I'm starting to add new pieces to my wardrobe, but it's a slow process because I don't have a lot to spend and I plan to lose some more so I don't wanna go all-out shopping-spree level yet. It's also a little sad to know I'll soon have to get rid of some of the clothes I've loved for 3 years and that I connect with my college years. This is just a little vent, but also if anyone has tips for making clothes fit/what they've done in this situation, I'm all ears. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2021 02:43 AM PDT A couple of years ago, my mom had gastric bypass surgery and lost over 100 lbs. She became smaller than me while I was in HS. Ever since then, the body-shaming is constant. I've been body-shamed by her all my life, but it got more intense. She'll tell friends, family, and even strangers about how big and unhealthy I am. It's embarrassing and I don't want to leave my room sometimes. Her friends will call her out on this, yet she doesn't really care. Now I'm 19, and due to quarantine, I hit the weight that my mom was when she was her biggest. This killed me. I was scared that she was going to find out. She did at a doctor's appointment and she told me that I need to lose weight immediately by going to the gym with her and eat salads. I went to the gym with her once and ate salads for a short amount of time. The issue is what my Mom brings into the house. She loves shopping and sales. So, every time she goes shopping for groceries, she buys so much food. 90% unhealthy and the rest is fruit. She'll make a frozen pizza for me and my brother then put us down for eating it. And she will buy/cook healthier meals only for herself and gets mad if I eat some. My mom does cook for me and my brother and it's usually not really healthy. She'll make enough spaghetti for 20 people and expects us to eat it in a week. It doesn't help that she will buy candy, chips, and soda on sale. Wouldn't it be cheaper to not buy it at all? On top of that, my Mom has this habit of getting rid of clothes that's too big on her by putting them in my closet. Since she's a shopaholic, I get a lot of clothes this way. But just because it's big on her, it doesn't mean it will fit me. I will try these clothes on and she will ridicule my body and make me feel bad. When I do attempt to diet or lose some weight, my mom will make comments about how I'm going to fail or she will just laugh at me. It frustrating how my mom pretends to be a health expert when her actions contradict everything she tells me. How can she give me the advice to lose weight naturally when she didn't even do that? My mom isn't even a healthy weight. And the only reason that she doesn't overeat is because she'll throw up or get dizzy if she does. I lost motivation to do anything for the past couple of months. I don't talk to anyone or go out at all anymore. I binge food all the time, have no sort of discipline or self-control. I hate myself. I really need to lose weight. How can I do so in this environment? I'm going to college soon. Will that help? Does my mom really want me to lose weight or does she just like being better than me? [link] [comments] |
| I think my older sister is mad/annoyed i’m losing weight? Posted: 07 Aug 2021 02:30 PM PDT I (F20 | 170lbs) had been trying to lose weight for a while before I finally I vocalized that I was on a diet. Most of my family was really supportive, except my sister (F24 | 230lbs), that went away when I actually started implementing changes to my routine. She asked me why I was trying so hard to lose weight because "i'm not even fat". I really opened up to her about how uncomfortable I felt all the time taking pictures, wearing certain clothes, walking down the street and basically existing as an overweight person. I told her felt unattractive and lethargic all the time and I wanted to change. I thought if anyone could understand my perspective it would be her. Instead, I think she was irritated or annoyed? She got weird and i can only guess it's because I expressed I have these self confidence issues even though I weight less than her? And that by expressing things that I am uncomfortable doing as a fat person I somehow imply she should be uncomfortable doing them too? Not sure. Since then she constantly tells me things like "stop worrying so much about what you eat you're not even fat" when I decline to eat certain foods. When others mention my progress she does her best to minimize it saying things like "you look exactly the same to me haha." Which really messes with me because I already have a distorted view myself. She also purposefully eats unhealthy foods in front of me to "prove a point that you can be fat and live your life." All of it is starting to get to me and I can't understand why she is acting this way towards me now or what to do about it. Can anyone help me understand whats up with her? Has anyone dealt with a similar dynamic with friends/family? If so how do you deal with it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2021 06:18 AM PDT (F/165cm/73kg) I've order multiple jeans and I couldn't close the button on them. I was feeling okay and pretty in my body this week. Never before was I so confident but now I just feel like I'm thrown back to zero. This whole problem may sound stupid, and you may think "eh order a size up what's the f***** problem?". Yeah i feel like a fat pig having to size up. My mood is just terrible now and I'd rather not eat anything or binge eat. When I look in the mirror I see small (very small) progress and I was proud but what does it matter if I'm still fat. Can someone please help me fix this damn mindset? I can't just not buy new clothes (I haven't gotten new jeans in two years because I didn't wanted to make me hate myself!) [link] [comments] |
| SV: Down 80lbs! My weight loss journey so far & next steps Posted: 07 Aug 2021 06:42 PM PDT Male, 28, 5'10" | SW: 330 lbs | CW: 250 lbs | GW: (short-term) 230 lbs, (long-term): 199 lbs Progress picture. March 2020 and August 2021. Hello! First, thank you to everyone who has shared their stories and tips on /r/loseit - I have spent countless hours roaming this subreddit looking for (and finding) inspiration and help in my weight loss journey. I wanted to share this post in case it helps others, but also to document my progress and to motivate myself moving forward. Everyone's journey is different, but here are a few tips from my weight loss journey so far: 1) Focus on the cause, not just the symptom This was the hardest step for me and to reiterate, everyone's journey is different. Weighing above a healthy weight can be a symptom of a larger problem. For me the problem was depression, which I ignored most of my adult life. I convinced myself that I was depressed because of my weight and so I thought it was impossible to be happier without losing weight. That chicken/egg thinking was self-defeating because it made me try to do too much, too quickly, all while ignoring other problems in my life. At a certain point early in the lockdown, I realized I needed to focus on my mental health or I may spiral, so I retooled my approach to try and live healthier mentally before working to improve physically. This is much easier said than done, and often requires outside support, so this remains a focus of mine in my ongoing journey. 2) Fixing my sleep This may be somewhat unconventional, but I honestly didn't realize how poorly I was sleeping until I got a medical marijuana card. Having only smoked a few times in college, I got a medical marijuana card in the early days of the pandemic and found that it helped me sleep a lot better. It also replaced alcohol as my vice of choice, since there's no hangover and it makes everything funny (though I don't stock my pantry with many snacks because of this change). This is not a solution that will work / is accessible for everyone, so the larger point here is to think about your sleep and how you can improve it. Once I got a taste of Good Sleep, I pulled the trigger on my first new mattress purchase ever. I got a Purple mattress and absolutely love it - now I can usually sleep through the night even without "medication." (Note: People on the internet seem to have very strong opinions on mattresses. I'm not sponsored, I just like the mattress. You should consider all your options before making any purchase). 3) If you haven't heard, flavored seltzers taste pretty good nowadays! Drinking calories (alcohol & soda) is hard for me to keep track of and easy for me to overindulge in, so I have largely stopped drinking both. I mentioned my alcohol replacement above, and I replaced soda with seltzer. I honestly HATED seltzer a few years ago but started a new job that stocked their fridge with it, and well, because it was free, I forced myself into liking it. My thought process was pretty simple: when I first tried coffee and beer, I hated them both, but now I enjoy them both. This worked - I now love seltzer and go through what feels like a pallets-worth every week. Give it a try. And another. And another. And then you'll like it. Try different seltzer brands, too! They're all a bit different, some more flavorful than others. 4) Routines are real & it does get easier Looking at the 80 lbs I've lost, my success so far has been almost entirely by focusing on CICO (calories in, calories out). To this point, the only piece I've really monitored is calories in. I approached this using prepared foods for breakfast/lunch that allow me to have a bigger dinner. I've never been a big breakfast person, so in the mornings I have nothing, a banana/apple, or a 270 calorie breakfast shake, depending on how I'm feeling. For lunch, I have a ~300 calorie pre-made salad (shoutout to southwest style salads which I really like), something simple like a hot dog or chicken patty, or a sub-400 calorie frozen dinner. Often times I only have lunch, leaving me with a lot of room for dinner. For dinner, I usually eat whatever I want, but keep a close eye on portions and calories, often saving leftovers for lunch the next day. This is an approach that worked for me. The routine of having go-to meals made it easier for me to succeed. After a month-ish of following through with this routine, it became much easier for me to wait between meals. Now that I've established this routine, I also find myself feeling full much quicker while eating. When I do mess up and binge eat, because my routine has been established, I no longer view it as a failure, but instead try to use it as a reminder that this is a multi-year journey and one day will not wreck my progress. Some additional tips from my journey: 5) I weigh myself almost every day, but only log my weight once or twice a week at most. I like to have an idea of where my weight is every day, but when I look at a chart, I very much like to see the progress I've made without the random jumps that daily weight logging can give you. But my advice here is simple: follow whatever weigh-in routine that works for you! 6) With the pandemic, I basically stopped driving and have since moved into a city & got rid of my car. I realize now that having a car enabled me to indulge in a lot of eating that I have since stopped simply because my mode of transportation is no longer super convenient. No more fast food on my way home from work. To that point… 7) Prepackaged food has been a great tool for me. I realized how much I was spending on Uber Eats and how much I'd save if I stocked up on prepackaged food that I could turn to before defaulting to delivery. Paying $5-$10 for prepackaged dinners is more expensive than making the same meal from scratch, but much easier & cheaper than ordering delivery! Also… 8) Air fryers are pretty great! Yes, I'm in the air fryer cult. This again goes to the point of having food I can prepare quickly that isn't delivery/fast food. I like cooking but I also like convenience - and the air fryer delivers on both fronts! Portion control is important here though, don't let the air fryer become a weapon against you instead of a tool on your side. Next steps: I'm now starting to focus more on the "calories out" part of CICO, with a loose goal to hit 230 lbs by October 2021. My friend is getting married in mid-October and I'm in the wedding party - and this will be the first time I'm seeing a lot of my college friends since the pandemic began. I'd love to show up and be able to say I've lost 100 lbs during the pandemic. I've lost some focus in the last week or so, which is why I wanted to write this post. My plan is to go on regular walks but I've had some trouble committing to this in the past -- I recently bought new workout clothes and walking shoes to encourage myself. If you have any tips, let me know! Bonus progress picture with my dad, May 2016 and August 2021. My dad started his weight loss journey in 2019 at 72-years old and was a big inspiration for me to get serious about weight loss as well. For now, I'm back to browsing /r/loseit for more tips & stories as I begin this part of my journey! Thank you for reading and more importantly YOU GOT THIS! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 07 Aug 2021 04:34 AM PDT CW: 171 SW:185 Height: 5'0 This is kinda exciting for me. I have had a losing battle with diets. I start, I struggle, and then give up. But I've learned to accept the fact I won't always be perfect, and that that is ok. You just gotta learn get back on track. I'm also proud because lately, depression has been kicking me when I'm down. Being able to stay with my diet even through everything is nice. Sometimes I feel like this disappointment that has let everyone down. But when I look down at the scale, when I eat a piece of fruit instead of candy, when I go for my walk. I know that I'm working on something and I'm succeeding in it. That I'm doing a good job somewhere in my life. [link] [comments] |
