SV I officially reached my goal!

F/5’11/27/SW:240/GW:170/CW:169.5 I started this journey after finally overcoming years of depression and deciding enough was enough. I have lost 70 pounds through CICO, IF, exercise, and the last few weeks OMAD. One day I was laying in bed watching Netflix and snacking on a family sized bad of potato chips when my chest started to hurt. I had an epiphany that I was slowly killing myself. I rolled up the chips, gave them to my sister, and then immediately went for a walk. Ever since that night I feel like my lifestyle changed. It felt like a switch went off in my brain. Getting to that moment was difficult though I battled severe depression for almost 8 years and before that night had slowly started adding positive changes in my life. Things I was completely in control of. Things like flossing my teeth every night and making myself stretch for at least 10 mins before bed. These small changes led to me feeling better about my day to day choices which made me want to continue making p

My favorite shorts are no longer my favorite shorts.

Last year I found out I had a thyroid problem and was started on a replacement therapy. I have never been able to lose weight and decided that this may finally be the key to my morbid obesity puzzle. I decided to do a 100 day challenge and it went great! I lost about 30 pounds and then in the 9 months following I slipped back into bad habits and gained bout half of it back. But it showed me that I wasn't hopeless. Fast forward to Jan 1 of this year. My wife and I decided to do another 100 day challenge together. The basic premise is this: no alcohol, greatly reduce liquid calories, cut all processed sugars and most processed food. I took a light approach to all the big diets on this sub, IF from 8 PM until noon the following day, CICO with myfitnesspal, and limit carbs to 50g or less per day. We are moving in a couple weeks and it was time to go through the closet. This morning was bittersweet for me. I went through my closet and put almost all of my clothes in donation bags. I a

Just a reminder: there will always be an excuse

I mentioned in conversation to someone today that I've lost almost 20 lbs (hit down 18 lbs a couple days ago) and am still losing (I have 130 lbs to go lol). She was impressed and asked if I could share how I'm doing it. I explained CICO, that I was weighing and measuring the majority of my food, and that meal prep was helping me immensely. I explained that I was focusing on reaching my weight goal before I added in exercise so it didn't feel overwhelming. I told her about the app I use to track calories and several subreddits, including this one, that have helped encourage me to stay on track. She said that all sounded great, but it was harder for her because she didn't have a husband, so she didn't have as much time. And she started talking about how she'll go from one job to the next and have to stop to pick up food in between jobs, or she'll prep food but forget it, etc. I lost weight while in grad school. I was on campus from the morning until late e

This is going to be my year

Every year since I was about seventeen (and first reached 220lbs which would have made me cry had my mother not have been present) I've told myself I was going to change, this year it's finally going to happen because I have actually started paying attention to what my body says and have come up with a plan. I'm constantly munching on something so instead of eating a few large meals I will eat several smaller balanced ones (I like to call it the Hobbit diet lol). First off I'm going to start waking up at a decent hour (I have issues falling asleep so often I'll be up until 3 sometimes 5 in the morning) but I'll make myself get up and stay up at 8. Now, every morning I wake up feeling starved, like "I'm going to be sick" starved (you ever get that?) So first thing is eating a cup of yogurt and some fruit just to get rid of that feeling while I get showered/dressed and then it's time for breakfast (or second breakfast lol). Every meal will be

Is there any collection of authentic progress pictures available?

One of my favourite things on this subreddit is seeing posts from people who are "completing" their weight loss journey. It's incredibly inspiring and motivating to see people success in their goals, a goal that we all have in common. In particular, I find that there's something very therapeutic about seeing progress pictures, whether it's a 10 lbs difference or a 100 lbs difference, it's still inspiring. I was wondering if anyone knew of a collection of these types of progress pictures or even these types of posts? I know you can go on google and search for it but I always feel like there's fake pictures or manipulated pictures thrown in the mix for other purposes like advertising services. submitted by /u/chrisd848 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/b7w2hl/is_there_any_collection_of_authentic_progress/

Lost. F28 5'2 about 240pounds

Ive always been chunky, preteen is the only time i dont remember being fat. And im scared of being thin cause ive never been it when it mattered. I have lots of depression and anxiety and gone through therapy (for other things) but weight loss has always come up for helping with both depression anxiety and im all for it when im in the office and days later im telling myself to go outside and exercise (walking/running my dog maninly) i do just one lap around my Apartment complex and call it good. It take 12 -15 minutes to walk the whole complex (she likes to sniff and do her business on every bush/rock) When my dog was younger i would walk for hours and loved it, just walking around my neighborhood. But life change for the better but my state of mind change too and i was able to go to therapy and was told that im schizoaffective bipolar type and got on meds to help with that. Life was numbed and i lost all joy in my hobbies that was for two years and towards the end of the two years

When my father became sick I quit caring about myself to help care for him. Now that he has passed I’m working on getting back to where I started and finally feeling good about myself again.

Long story short my father was diagnosed with a terminal illness completely debilitating him, and over the course of 2 years my mother and I gave him 24/7 care until he passed due to complications of his disease. During that time I put my life on hold to spend what little time left I had with my father to help out my mother and him. Weight has always been something that I have had to deal with, and this is my second time of having to lose a large amount of weight however this was my highest SW: 275. Prior to my father’s illness my highest weight was 240 pounds, and with the help of copious amounts of beer and depression I beat my record! All jokes aside I had to get my life and body back into shape so I quit drinking to excess cutting it back to maybe one day a week, and started working out (weight lifting and running one mile) coupled with OMAD. The previous time I cut weight I did strict calorie counting staying around 1200 calories a day and added more calories if I worked out that

First hike of spring!

I [30f] started hiking almost a decade ago. Met me almost ex-husband and it took a back burner. Crappy food, lack of exercise, and lots of excuses led me to being morbidly obese [5’3” and 227 lbs]. Our marriage fell apart so I started focusing on me again whenever I can pull myself out of my depression long enough to see I’m not the piece of crap he made me feel like I am. In October and November, I started hiking. I took my son [was about a year and a half old and between him and all our gear, about 45 lbs on my back] and was typically able to do 4-5 miles on easy to moderate trails. Then winter came and even though our winter is short, it wasn’t safe to go during December, January, and February. So March came along and my son is with his dad. I decided that even though it was supposed to rain, I was going. The weather wasn’t going to stop me this time. It’s stopped me on many other occasions in the past (mainly postponing me starting to hike again) but not today. So I got out and

I’ve been “trying” to lose weight since June. I am OFFICIALLY starting tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the first of the month AND the first of a week, so it seems as good a time as any to get started. I got engaged in June of last year, and wanted to start losing weight for my upcoming wedding in July then. But I just... didn’t. I tried lazily to eat a little bit better and work out a bit, but I never made a commitment. I would LOVE if I would have started in June. I’d be so much further along! But now, I’m starting tomorrow. So in 3 months I don’t say “I’d be in such a better place if I started in April!” A quote I really love is: “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” So let’s get it! Excited to join this incredible and welcoming community, and finally lose this weight. submitted by /u/lilspaghettigrandma [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/b7vfnk/ive_been_trying_to_lose_weight_since_june_i_am/

Just wondering if anyone else has had this self esteem issue after a plateau...

Hey there! So I (28F) am someone with a fairly significant amount of weight to lose. About 3 years ago, I lost 50 lbs. Though I still have a long way to go before I achieve what I would consider a goal weight, at the time that I hit the 50 lb mark, I felt absolutely amazing. My self confidence was at an all time high. I just generally felt so much better and I was fitting into clothes I’d never been able to wear before. I really felt fantastic about myself. Since then I’ve maintained that weight with a small amount of fluctuation, but I feel totally different. I’ve realized that I think it’s because I’ve become accustomed to this weight as my new norm, and because it’s still not technically a healthy weight, I now feel terrible about myself. I’m so unhappy with my appearance and the way my clothes fit despite being the exact same weight I was at the tail end of my 50 lb loss several years ago. I’ve recently gotten back into the weight loss groove but I’m so impatient to see progress

[Week 2 of 26] Nailing it so far - 50 pound plan

Last post: https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/b52pkg/week_1_of_26_getting_back_on_the_horseerrh_bike/ More or less was fat, got skinny, got injured, got fat, going to get skinny again. Now I'm starting a 26 week plan to lose weight. Will post a weekly update mostly to keep myself accountable. ​ Week 2: Biked to and from work Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday I took the bus so I could donate plasma. I walked home. Friday I slept in, took the bus but eventually walked home after some drinks. Saturday I did a 25 km bike ride and followed it up with an hour round trip walk (to McDonalds...). Sunday I biked 10 km to meet some friends for a 5 km run and then biked back. Exercise I think was about as good as I could have done. Food wise, I believed I ate pretty much my calories burned exercising (again not logging calories yet) however the nutritional value was pretty low. With a (non exercise) TDEE of 2000 I was expecting to lose 4 pounds this week, ended up just over t

Why I'm neither fat nor skinny [a post about eating habits]

Recently I've been reading about the habits of the naturally skinny. This has caused me to think a lot about my own eating habits and I really felt like writing my thoughts down. So, since I've been enjoying this type of content, I decided to make a post here. I hope someone enjoys it, or finds it informative. BTW sorry about a long post. ​ So first some background and stats. I'm 20, female, 167 cm and probably around 62 kg right now (that's BMI 22 for any americans). During my teen years my bmi has fluctuated between 20 and 24. Some of this was because of restriction, but a lot of it just happened naturally and I doubt I would ever reach a weight higher than perhaps 70 kg without the addition of serious mental turmoil, or pregnancy. Now in the eyes of a lot of people this would probably classify me as "naturally skinny". But growing up in the 21th century swedish middle class, I was actually on the "chunkier" side for my age. Now I think this is

Do you exercise at home?

[M30] Well, I just moved and my new local gym is a lot less affordable than the old one :/ In the few weeks since, I've gained a bunch of the weight I had lost and I can am getting really depressed about it. I'm trying to stay as active as possible but I know that, much as I hate it, what I need is regular gym-like exercise. So I'm now looking for things I can do at home. Here are my constraints: Extremely tight budget. I don't have machines / equipment and can't afford new stuff (other than small cheap gadgets) Nothing noisy. My neighbours below have already complained about the noise when I move around. In other words, no jumping around. Chest / Upper body is my weakest and what needs the most training. I do some crunches and push-ups in front of the TV but I just get really bored and can't stay focused. What I'd like is actually an exercise bike but I can't afford one =/ I'm all ears on suggestions. I've gained back 5kg and I'm t

Any home workout exercises?

Hey GUYS!!!! I am s fresh fucking bird to this sub reddit!!! ​ I really was wondering on how I should lose weight. My height is 180 cm(approx.) and weight is 89 in kilograms.

30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 31 + Wrap Up!

It’s here...end of March. Time to wrap it all the way and prepare for April lads and lassies! So let’s see how we did. Diet/Lifestyle Change : I want to weigh 260 by the end of the month. (I made it to 260! I barely made it but we made it fam. Time to crank for April since I want to drop 15 pounds but I’m ready to go hard.) Food: Meat is only allowed 4x a month (didn’t cheat 04/04) Food: Snacks! I suck at it, I still love my potatoes (Not bad. I nipped my candy and I didn’t overload on carbs. I wanted fries today and stopped to get Vietnamese instead. I’m learning bit by bit.) Draw at least one thing a day (sucked at this one) Dance: I need to get my cardio up and I hate running, so I want to take at least two dance classes a week. (Didn’t get my 2x a week but tried to supplement with dance when I could. Work caused me to cancel most of the time but I’m going to get back at it. I need that time for me even with the late nights.) Write: Have a new idea for either my first

Another goal reached... lost half of my body weight, BMI 44 to 22

Hey guys, so this took me absolutely by surprise, I thought I was maintaining-ish at around 65 kg for a month, then I noticed I needed the toilet a LOT, then the scale whooshed down to 60 kg (133 lbs) and I started to ugly cry right there on the gym scale. This is kind of a big thing for me. (36F, starting weight was around 120 kg at 165cm or 264 lbs at 5'5") I'm trying not to repeat myself too much from my last post about how I got here. Basically, self worth was EVERYTHING. Not guilt and self-hate, but a determination to put only good things in my mouth because I deserve it. I dabble in all kinds of things and do none properly. I've reduced carbs all around but nibble on my kids leftover sandwiches every day. I skip breakfast but then have a late night snack after workout so it's more like 14:10. I eat intuitively but once in a while crave the reassurance of MFP. I still eat lots of volume, tons and tons of quick salads and steamed veggies, lots of protein fro

The cookie will not solve the problem

Long time lurker, first time poster. I just hit one month of CICO and I’m down 5 pounds. My husband gave up sweets for Lent, and being the supportive wife, I decided to give them up as well. A couple of weeks ago I had an extremely stressful day at work. One of those where you’re stuck in a useless meeting for hours, nothing is getting accomplished, yet there’s a pile of work that needs to get done. I had a few minutes to run out for lunch and my first thought was “I need a cookie!” I’ve always heard that sugar was like a drug, but this was the first time I actually believed it. I just new if I got a cookie, it would solve all my problems. I would feel better. And once I really thought about it, I knew that the cookie would not solve my problems. The cookie would not help the situation. I would feel good about eating the cookie in the moment, then feel horrible about it later. So I didn’t get to cookie. It may seem silly, but passing up the cookie was a big step for me. And it was a

In desperate need for support

Hello everyone. This is my first time posting on this thread, but I'm in desperate need for support. Please. I'm 26/f. In 2014 I weighed 200 lbs. at that time I decided to make drastic changes to my eating habits and begin exercising. I gradually dropped more and more weight, with some setback of course, until I reached my lowest weight of 140 lbs last summer. At the time I had done keto for about 8 months (with some short breaks from it). Last year, I was also diagnosed with PCOS and started treatment. I stopped keto and included fruit and veggies, oats and other carbs in my diet. All was well until December of 2018. Yes, I'd gained about 5 lbs but still looked and felt fine. I'm not sure what exactly happened. Obviously at some point I must have lost control over my eating and exercise, but I've gained a lot more than I would want to. Today I weighed myself at 152 lbs and measured my waist - almost 3 inches more. Now I realize that it may not sound like a hug

Can't believe how easily I fell off track

I was doing so great. 6 weeks of CICO and gym four times a week. Lost 19 pounds. Its the longest I've ever lasted. Well on track to achieve my short term and long term goals. I had more energy, wasn't missing my old eating habits and thought I finally got under control. I was having small treats when I wanted them and didn't feel deprived at all. There were only two days in the 6 weeks that I went over my calorie allowance. Until this week. Work is crazy right now as I found out I'm up for a big promotion. So I've been trying to prove myself for the new job while still doing my actual job which was already a full workload. Which is really just an excuse but all of a sudden after 6 weeks of consistency I haven't been to the gym or logged my food since Tuesday, and I've fallen into my old eating habits like nothing. It's been McDonalds, Fried Chicken, fries, cake, chips. I ordered from Uber Eats twice yesterday. worst of all eating when I'm not even

Another Long Ass Lurker Post: Teen Edition

Okay, so I really thought not to post at all because some of the things I did during my weight loss journey I’m starting to recognize as playing with fire. And of course that isn’t something I’d advocate to other teens, strangers, anyone . However I think it’s it’s important that I at least acknowledge my mistakes in a public fashion, point out things I did to make sure I wouldn’t truly screw myself, and hopefully someone will learn from me. frankly I’d be honored if any of you guys read all of this, It’s a lot. I’ll try to separate out this post into subtitles that would help those that just want to see specific sections. I’ve been a lurker for a while now and I might as well give back to the community I have taken so much from. Also I’m sorry I don’t have actual body progress pics, because I know that’s what people like about these posts. I’m still a minor, and still trying to keep this account kinda private. so with that out of the way, Stats! F17 5’5’’ (165 cm) SW: 200 lb (90.71

Hitting under 300 on a regular basis

I can't believe it. I've weighed in between 295-305 for the past week. My journey started in July 2018 at 376 with a trip to the doctor about my blood pressure. I'm cheating tbh. I take vyvance to help me curb my appetite and work without constantly feeling drowsy. At first it was just portion control. I'd still eat pizza and hamburgers and French fries. I'd still drink soda, and beer. Just less. But, I've made significant changes in my lifestyle. I haven't had a beer this year and only had one shot of whiskey to celebrate Irish Christmas this month. I eat chicken and green vegetables every night. I wake up and hit the gym before work, which requires getting up at 1 am. I'm still working towards losing weight. I don't have an end goal in mind. But I feel better. I wanted to share my story because I feel bad talking about it with people who saw me at my biggest. I hate hearing "I'm proud of you." It feels like they're co-opting

Dear agony aunt, I have had a bad day

Dear PopcornDragon93 I have had a bad day. I have eaten 800 calories on a binge over what I should have. This wipes out probably three days worth of work. Here’s why: 1. I’m tired. I have been doing this for four months. This week I went for tapas Thursday (was good, still under), drinks Friday (was good, still under - drunk half a days calories), Saturday we had fajitas and watched a movie (still good) and today I looked at the scale and it had gone up since Tuesday by half a pound. I know the deal with regards to fluctuation, I know it might be water weight but I don’t really give a fuck today. I just wanted it to be lower because I’d missed out on things deliberately this week 2. My other half has gone away tonight for a week. His mother came round yesterday and had a pop around everything she could think of. My Nan has dementia now and she was a nightmare at Mother’s Day lunch today. My mother, aunt and family cannot talk about anything else but nan. Has completely taken over ou

I think I'm going to have to give up chips/crisps for good. Treat them like tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs.

I began a strict diet and exercise program 28 days. I'm down #31 and I feel great. I'm saddened by the growing realization that I'll likely have to give up chips ("crisps" in the UK) for good. Chips were by far my most craved junk food. I could chew through a bag without a thought. Potato chips: plain, sour cream & onion, cheese & sour cream, BBQ, nacho cheese tortilla chips and pretzels were my favorites. I also love cheese puffs. About the only ones I could keep around the house in limited quantity were plain tortilla chips. Even then I had to be careful. Now that I am getting healthy, it seems like the best thing to do for me is to treat chips like ex-smokers treat tobacco, alcoholics treat alcohol or druggies treat drugs -- just stay away for good! At first I thought I could probably continue to eat them at parties when they are served with the hors d'oeuvres. At first I thought "as long as I don't bring them into my house or office, I

Having friends work on the same goals with you is probably one of the greatest motivators!

Tomorrow is April 1st, and me and 5 of my friends are starting month long challenge of health and fitness. We are all trying to motivate each other and inspire new changes in our lives. The 6 of us (all college students, 21-22 years old), are going to spend the month of April: Not consuming alcohol Not consuming caffeine Not consuming marijuana Not consuming recreational drugs of any kind Working out daily Eating healthy meals We also have some weekly challenge and goals: No meat eating week No social media week No video games/TV week Some misc goals we set for ourselves: Walk 100 miles total over the month Go to sleep before midnight every night Wake up before 8am every day We are all so excited to be doing this together. I got so excited I got myself a head start 2 days ago. I spent this weekend getting well rested, lifting, and not going out and spending money at the bars. Group goals/challenges is a hugely motivating thing. Finding a group of friends to join

Has anyone else put on weight in the first few weeks of joining the gym?

Been on and off counting calories for 12 months and not losing much more than the first 15 pounds so I decided to add exercise. I’ve been going to the gym 3-4 times a week for 3 weeks now, doing a mixture of cardio, flexibility and strengthening classes and still eating as I was before. I’ve put on 3 pound in 3 weeks. Obviously I realise that building muscle can make you out on weight but I honestly thought that wouldn’t happen for some time - at least not before I started seeing results and especially because I’m not focusing on trying to build muscle. Is this normal?

Down 40 from 440 almost under 400 for the first time since high school.

after high school i got a job at a hospital and when i did my physical they weighed me at 450lbs. i was pretty depressed and it was a desk job so it probably got worse. then i started working in a warehouse and i lost 10-15lbs at some point because i bought a scale and i was 440 when i started. i used to drink over 2 liters of soda a day. so i quit drinking soda, cold turkey literally since february 8th i haven't had a drop. i'm down to 401 now and i'm about to get below 400 since my senior year. i hope to get to 250 someday. i've also been working out and my chest and arms are getting toned which is crazy to squeeze my arm and feel something solid. i'm really scared all the time of my binge eating disorder that i will lose control and end up at 440 again but i'm doing well now and would like some advice on needing to lose over double what i've already had to lose. i feel like im going to lose weight surely with giving up soda and getting my portions under

Advice Please: I'm losing motivation to lose these last 10 pounds.

Hello all, I'm on mobile, and first post, so please forgive formatting errors. I don't know how to do flairs, starting 165 current 140ish goal 130ish. I'm a 26F 5'5 currently 140ish. I started losing summertime last year eating about 1500 calories logging with MFP. And it was mostly pretty easy. I meal prepped and kept my portions small. My mom always said my eyes are bigger than my stomach, and once I started actually trying to keep portions small I got used to it. For about the last 3 months or so I've been mostly maintaining, maybe I've gained a few pounds back. It just seems like all of a sudden I can't eat at a deficit. I walk a lot at work, like 8 miles a day, usually eat back all my exercise calories cause I'm starving. I don't do much on my days off which is when it's really difficult to eat well. So almost all my progress during the week is lost on the weekend. Also, one of my problems is that now that I've lost weight, my coworker

Losing weight vs water weight?

How do you tell if you’re losing weight vs water weight? Recently I decided to get really serious about my health. I’ve been fat since grade school and to be honest I’m sick of having to pay more for clothes I don’t even like, being a whale that no one wants to sit next to on the bus, not having the energy to do stuff, etc. As part of that I went and got my mom’s old FitBit, downloaded My Fitness Pal, and tossed out all the super high calorie no nutrition foods in my pantry. I decided that I was going to go with baby steps and try to only lose a pound a week (1870 calories according to MFP), only weigh myself once a week, and not worry about hitting 10k steps. I’d just try to improve the amount I walked. I’ve always failed at diets in the past and part of the reason is that I’ve always been too hard on myself goal wise, never got close to meeting my goals, and then gave up. So I went with easily achievable goals that I could increase as I did better instead of trying to do everythin

I am kinda glad I had a real bad relapse this weekend
