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 huge amount of weight, but you have to understand: at my lowest weight, I felt proud of myself; I felt beautiful and in a great shape; I could wear skirts and shorts and dresses and feel like a million bucks. Today I feel disappointed in myself and kind of desperate. I've cut my calories drastically and went back to the gym 4 times a week. I've started doing cardio. I'm determined to keep it up, but I need support.

I found comfort in the thought that some of it was waterweight and it would go away quickly. However after a week of eating under a 1000 calories the scale hasn't gone down and has even gone up a little bit, which I find hard to understand.

I just need to be reminded that it is possible and I can do it again.

My rant is over. Thank you for reading.

I've lurked on here for awhile but never posted. Seeing all the changes you guys made helped my girlfriend and I finally start thinking about our health and the future. We we're around 280-270 at 5ft 8in. We promised to lose weight in January and decided to run with it. After looking at all the different ways people lost weight, we decided that trying to go vegetarian and counting calories would probably work the best. We limited ourselves to 1600 calories a day and kept at it. I eventually went back to meat simply because the vegetarian meat substitute was starting to get expensive (I can buy chicken patties and get twice as much for the same price). We haven't exercised one bit but we are looking forward to hiking and doing more Sports this summer. I used to BMX race when I was younger and I really want to get back to doing that or mountain biking. The biggest hurdle for me to get over was to stop stress-eating. I've had long standing issues with some mild depression

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/
