So, I’ve been active since I remember but during pandemic I gained some weight which I’m still trying to lose. About 7 weeks ago, the gym I go to planned a 6-week challenge. They used a Biody coach device which measure your muscle mass, fat, etc at the beginning of the challenge. My weight was 161 lbs, height 5' 4" (I’m 43F). It also suggested I should eat more, I’ve been eating around 1250/day and the trainer suggested I should eat around 1500/1700.

So I did the challenge for 6 weeks, 5-6 sessions of high intensity, cardio and 3 weight lifting sessions around 45min. And I ate more protein (around 120g, sometimes more) and tried to eat more than 1200. Last week at the end of the challenge, they did the body scan and now I’m 163 lbs! I thought hopefully I gained muscle but only 300g of that was muscle and the rest is fat! I’ve actually seen some changes around my waist so the numbers are so disappointing.

The trainer says it’s either because I’m still not eating enough or even maybe I’m now eating more now!! She also says it might be because of stress( I lost my job 3 weeks ago). Now, I’m completely lost! I enjoy working out, but I also want to lose about 10kg and I find it impossible now. I don’t know how much I should eat anymore.

I would really appreciate if anyone could give some advice so I can find my way and motivation because now I’m losing it but not in a good way. Thanks!

Okay so keep in mind im a 16 year old teenage girl, whose about 70 kg since I first started ( haven’t weighted myself yet, will do tomorrow tho). And im 5’2 and well my goal weight is 55-50kgs.

And I started the day after my bday (October 29th) and well for 3 weeks I have been somewhat consistent I only binged like 2x ( I have and binge problem😔)

And so my question is: Did I lose fat?

Okay so for about 3 weeks I have been consistent with my deficit and gym ( I binged like 2x) and my face has gotten kind of slimmer but something that I have really noticed is that when I sit down I can feel my Ass bone and its lowkey uncomfortable 😭😭 Did I lose fat?

I want to know the best, most efficient way to lose weight healthily. I started my weight loss journey at 230lb 2 years ago and ended up reaching my goal of 157lbs for wrestling. Wrestling ended when i graduated highschool, and i developed a lot of bad habits, this combined with the passing of a friend caused me to binge eat, and i am now back to 200lbs. I want it back, I want to do things the right way, and the best way to maintain a healthy lifestyle. (I marked this NSFW for mentions of binge eating).

Hello fabulous folks!  

Day 22!  

Let’s talk goals!  

Nanowrimo 1,667 words a day: 9,155/35,006 words. I’m enjoying it even though I’m not hitting those words per day goals.   

Fruit or veg with every meal, one piece of cake a week: Breakfast = 🍌 Lunch = veggie pasta made of lentils and zucchini (sounds so fancy, it's just a frozen bag of Birdseye veggie pasta) Dinner = 🫐 

Maintenance: On it.                  

Don’t spend $ outside of preset weekly budget: On it. 

Weigh in daily to establish trend weight: Yep!  

Find a way to enjoy moving my body everyday: I've been really enjoying the punching bag this week. 16/22 days.  

Journal for two minutes every morning: Got it. 16/22 days.   

Today's gratitude or laugh list: Today, I’m grateful for my career, my comfortable, warm home and for having power. I have family that still doesn’t have power. Yeesh. I laughed at my handsome fuzzy hour tiger’s antics this morning.  

Meditate (sensory grounding) for 5 minutes to combat hyper vigilance: Will do when I get home and before bed.  

Self-care activity for today: DBT workbook and drawing. I’d also like a bath and all the skin care this evening.  

How did I do yesterday? Not bad. I got fruits and veggies with every meal, I filled my own bucket and had an enjoyable evening after a really hard day at work. 

Your turn folks! 

I was 110kg (242 lbs) and now I’m 80kg (176lbs) and I’m 6ft male. But I really want to get to 70kg (154lbs).

All I need to do is stick to the same calorie deficit I did for over a year but it’s become so hard. Just knowing I’m already a healthy weight is really demotivating because it feels like I’ve finished even though I really want to lower body fat (by losing more weight not building muscle). I feel like I’ve forgotten how I did it and don’t know how any more. All I have to do is stick to 2000 or less every day. Most days I do but I keep eating 3000 or more calories regularly and stay the same weight.

Any tips for getting rid of the last bit when you don’t really ‘need’ to lose any more weight? Why does it feel harder :(

Hello! I saw a dietician about a month ago. Had my metabolic test done as well as a bodpod. I go back in a couple weeks for a follow up bodpod to see if I've made any progress. I am fairly confident I have not. I still weight exactly the same, and my clothes don't fit any better. I feel so discouraged.

I am looking at my numbers and wonder what is accurate for me. There's so much information on a google/youtube search, I can't tell what I should be doing.

My RMR is 1371
TDEE is around 1645
I eat 1600 calories a day (dietician recommended)
I exercise 3-5 days a week, during those sessions I burn between 250-400 calories.
I am 31F, 5'4, 150 lbs. My goal is to get down to 130.

Should I be eating at least my TDEE?
To create a calories deficit should I eat around 1400 instead of 1600? But won't that throw my body into starvation mode and cause me to conserve everything.

So I work 60-70 hrs a week at a hospital and driving 2 1/2 hrs a day to and from my job. Most days I get home around 9-11pm and am up by 5am to do it all over again.

I used to try going to a gym as I could but I’ve not been able to make my body go like I used to.

I’m thinking of trying to set an alarm for 4:30 everyday and seeing about working out in my basic home gym for roughly 30 mins a day before showering for work. Lose some of my sleep but I wanna try to incorporate exercise into my life again.

I only have a cheap basic cable machine, dumbbells and a stationary bike. My thing is though will I really make any type of difference from just this little bit of time working with my equipment or do I realistically need to sacrifice more time than this ?

I’m 5’8 30F and 212 pounds as of this morning. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and do about an hour of weight lifting and an hour on the stairmaster. I used to be a college athlete back in the day so I enjoy higher intensity exercise. I work a desk job, however once a week I’m on my feet all day and walking.

TDEE Calculator for moderate exercise says 2,682. I have the Lose It app set to 1,830 calories and do not eat back the calories I burned exercising. I am trying to hit 150+ g of protein. I did have a very intense weight lifting session this morning, and am probably going to add back 350 calories because I feel ravenous.

I am wanting to make sure I’m on the right track with how I understand all of this. I’m eating 852 calories below maintenance for Moderate Activity, or 246 calories below maintenance for Sedentary. I want to lose weight at a sustainable rate. I have a history of starting healthy eating, hitting 200 pounds and then reverting back to old habits.

On days I exercise, my Apple watch ends at around 1400 active calories for the day.

For context im 16, my whole life ive been slightly underweight nothing crazy though. My body always stays the same, its always skinny, but my face fluctuates based on what I ate the day before. If I eat over 1000 calories I wake up with a puffy round face if I eat 1000 or less I wake up with a face that is proportionatal to the rest of my body. This is especially an issue for me because im a muslim girl so the only part of me people see is my face, and if my face is puffy and round it just makes me look fat. Please help me figure out whats wrong, this is ruining my self esteem and causing me to obsess over how much I eat.

My journey to lose weight started a year ago. My starting stats:

• Male
• 5’8”

-190 pounds

So all I did for the past year to lose 25 pounds was just eat less, way less. I would only eat 500-1000 calories a day. Was it unhealthy way to lose weight? Probably yes, but I was very unhappy and depressed with how I looked so I decided to go down that route. About 4-5 months ago, I started seeing a difference in my weight loss progress. I didn’t seem to be losing weight at the same rate as before or very slow, or sometimes I’d be stuck at the same weight for weeks.

So, I decided to try something different, I tried actually losing weight by exercising daily which includes weight training and cardio. I also upped my calorie intake with about 140ish grams of protein intake. I started drinking close to a gallon water a day. I overall increased my calories to about 1500 to 1800 calories a day of clean calories. No fast food or excess carbohydrates, processed sugars, etc.

However I only seem to be gaining weight with this new regime. My start weight with this new regime was 166 and now 1 month later I’m now at 173 and that scares me. This makes me want to go back to starving myself because that was the only sure way of losing weight.

So Reddit, what am I doing wrong?

I know it's possible to lose weight faster, because I did it already! I ate around 1300 calories a day as a 5'8 20F and dropped from 242lbs to my goal of 140lbs. I am a completely different person now.

And that person wants to eat

Any weight I lose from now on is just for vanity, and while it would be nice, I simply lack the motivation to restrict so heavy when it's not an emergency anymore. I am not morbidly obese. I am at the low end of a healthy weight, but I don't want to stop losing weight. I am okay if the rest of my journey takes me a year or more. It's important to me that I'm not gaining, and that I am focusing on my relationship with food and hunger that does not involve calories as much.

I could have stopped at 140lbs and maintained, but I haven't worked on my relationship with food enough to maintain. I have an undefined relationship with food and fear that without the weight loss to motivate me, I would gain it all back. So for the last few months, I have been losing around 0.5lbs a week to reach 134.4lbs.

I love being able to eat. I love not being hungry all the time (except right now... but I have dinner reservations soon and don't want to spoil my dinner). I love eating whole foods, and I love not craving ultra processed foods. I wish I could find more ways to focus on my nutrition in a way that didn't involve weight loss, but I like having the safety net of a slight deficit that is almost at maintainance until I can develop a more stable relationship with food and weight.

Any tips from maintainers or anyone else who has transformed their relationship with food, please chime in!!

Hi everyone, I have recently been doing extremely well in my calorie deficit/low carb journey but today I kind of messed up. I have no idea how many calories I binged in one setting, and compared to the binges I used to have this was nothing… I would estimate maybe around 700 calories or so. I feel so bloated, but mainly let down by myself.

I had been doing so well. I had not binged In months and MONTHS, in fact I did not even get the urge to do so. Now I feel like I have lost track of myself all over again. Every time I see weight loss videos I compare people’s journeys to mine and I feel like shit.

I apologize for the rant, I am just disappointed in myself.

Hey all. I need to vent.

So I'm 31F, 5'10" and 264lbs currently (low weight has been 261lbs), started cutting calories at 313lbs at the beginning of January 2024 (was 320lbs Dec 2023 and 334lbs at high weight in 2022).

Beginning of the year, things were working out. I lost 28lbs in 4 months, good stuff. Then the next 7 months happened. And it's taken me this whole 7 months to lose 21lbs more (24lbs if you count the low).

I mean, yeah. A lot has happened this year medically. In Feb I hurt my ankle (still lost though!) In April I had endo excision and hysterectomy (have 1 ovary left). Then half of July and all of August was spent throwing up due to a psych medication increase (back down in dose now). To note, I'm on an antipsychotic (that's supposed to be more weight neutral), a SNRI, blood thinners, and low dose progesterone, along with a daily multivitamin as I am vitamin D deficient without it.

I've been literally not allowed to exercise for several months this year and at this point I'm in PT with 2 different specialists to try and fix my daily pain problems and inability to tolerate exercise anymore.

I find that even when I meet MyFitnessPal'a recommendation for calories, I lose 0.5lbs a week less than it says I should. Like I have 250kcal missing somewhere. Like, if I eat to a 1.5lb deficit instead of a 2lb deficit like it's set to do, I lose 1lb instead. And I would think it's my tracking, but my husband ate all dinners with me this year and lost 100lbs with no exercise and is now done dieting.

At this point, I'm supposed to be at 1490kcal a day and I just can never stick to that. I don't think I've ever really been able to hit 1500kcal everyday like at all this whole time and that's where I probably should have been since the beginning optimally, you know?

Based off of this year, if I am lucky, if I'm optimal, I will finally be done in 2 years time. I see my doctor next week and I am dreading being told that I'm not losing weight fast enough. I don't want to go on weight loss medication (god I already take enough meds - and I tried metformin in Jan but it sent me to the hospital so can't take that!)

It's a grey day out, I can't each much more today as we're meeting my aunt and uncle out for dinner at a Mexican place, and I'm sitting at 264lbs and wishing I could have hit 250lbs by the end of the year. Just... fuck everything today. I'll be positive tomorrow.

I never can't seem to get myself under a streak when I'm trying to lose weight and get into shape. Maybe max a day or two is how long I can try, and then I fall out of line and get back to my old routine. Its comforting, but I know I can't live like that my whole life. I've already gained a bit of weight than where I was about 3 years ago, and I don't want that to keep rising

Is it because I don't have a friend to regularly go to the gym? Is it because I lack the motivation? I don't know what's stopping me, and I wanted to chat with you guys so that I can identify what's wrong with myself and work out a way to break out of this.

I see everyone living their own perfect life, waking up early, going to the gym, and heading to work/uni, and I want to be a part of that (fyi, i love my sleep, but i need to break that too, currently i sleep at midnight, or 1am worst case, and wake up at 9am).

Hi everyone, I'm brand new here so I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask this. I'm disabled with lower spine damage and nerve damage, as well as blindness. I cannot stand or walk for long periods of time, but if I'm in the right position, I can sit or lay down, as long as there's no pressure on my back.

I very recently bought a stationary bike to try and lose a lot of weight that I've gained. I was in a pretty nasty car wreck as a passenger a few years back and I only just recently started being able to move again, so I gained way more weight than I'd like to admit.

I want to gather some advice about how to get the most out of my stationary bike. I am trying my best to lose a lot of weight, but if I'm being honest I'm pretty new to exercise, I used to hike a lot up the mountains but I was never taught anything about calories or anatomy, so forgive my lack of understanding.

I've also been told that a calorie deficit / diet is a better way to lose weight in the long term, which I'm also doing. I'm in taking a maximum of 1300 calories a day and I burn around 1,500 to 2,000 a day on my stationary bike.

Basically, I just want some advice on how to activate my core on a stationary bike with my back being messed up and with my stomach kind of getting in the way. Is there anything else I could be doing? I use the highest setting on my bike for about 2 hours, and I usually go 10 to 15 miles. Should it be more? Sorry if I'm asking all of this in the wrong place.

Hi all,

I meal prepped a taco bowl of sorts, ingredients:

1 cup brown rice (measured cooked) - 150 cal 1/2 cup black beans - 120 cal 1/2 cup corn - 70 cal 5oz ground turkey - 290 cal 1/2 red pepper - 20 cal Taco seasoning - 5 cal Tapatio - 0 cal

Around 625 calories. I made it, plated one and the volume of food was crazy, basically an entire plate stacked up a couple inches. I could only eat half of it and will finish the other half later, but that'd still put me significantly under my calorie goal for the day. I'm a 260 pound guy trying to get down to 220 or so, I don't want to be going into that much of a deficit. Does anyone else struggle with eating the larger volumes of healthy food now that you've cut out super high calorie crap?

Hi Everyone,

It is my first time posting in here. I recently went from 215 to 159 lbs in the span of a year. I am 5'5, female, btw. I know I am still technically "overweight" but it is a significant difference for me. I would not describe myself as extremely hot or attractive, but let's just say that my face looks way better and I find that I am getting a lot more attention from people, whether its men or women. Women tend to be meaner. It seems as if they are jealous, especially my friends. The opposite is with men. They are way nicer, and it has been confusing to me. My biggest fear seems to be coming true, men only see me as an object now that I am thinner. I have been struggling with this deeply, and I also fear that people only like me because I am not fat anymore. Is anyone else struggling with this? I don't really know where else to share these thoughts. Let me know what yall think.

I've lost about 30lbs and I'm all of a sudden having these like crying spells. I can't stop them, they happen randomly and it's like I just get hit and I cry really hard then I'm good. Is this a weightloss thing? Or am I just crazy? I feel like I'm crazy.

For example, the last one happened when I first woke up. My husband had left for work before I got up so I called him to tell him I loved him and to have a good day. When I hung up I thought, "I'm just gonna sleep a littttle bit longer." Boom! Massive, violent, uncontrollable crying spell, then I'm good.

I am not a fan of this. And I'm really hoping it's not a weightloss thing because I don't wanna be doing this for the next 2-3 years.

The nutrition data for avocados have been revised on the USDA website and I thought I’d share the news with you all. I was looking up the nutrition data and noticed a discrepancy between different websites and the USDA database. Then I stumbled upon an old USDA avocado data link on Reddit showing the same data on the websites I saw. Previous amount of calories per 100g was 160. Updated amount of calories per 100g is 223, additional calories coming from higher fat amount.

Im 5’2 currently 135, and my goal was 128, but ive been stalled for a month now at 135. I initially lost about 20lbs over the course of 4 months with my current cals. I thought i lost more, turns out my scale was reading my weight wrong lol. I would still like to lose more weight, but im not really sure where to go from here. Current cals were 1850, i am breastfeeding (mostly) baby is eating small meals. Should i drop calories or increase them then try dropping them again? I know sometimes your body adapts to the calorie intake, i do weightlifting already 4 times a week, and try to get in 10k steps a day.

So I (25m) recently started working out again with the goal of losing weight and just being generally healthy again.

For the first 2 months it was going great I lost 12kg it was around 2kg a week.

For reference when I started I was over 100kg I’m now 88kg, in total I’ve lost around 14kg. But for the last 3/4 weeks I’ve been stuck at 88kg. I have a scale that measure muscle gain and fat loss, apart from the occasional trade for fat to muscle I’m really seeing no changes now.

I’m still working in my calorie deficit, I’ve lowered it 200cals just because my recommended amount to keep weight is lower. I walk 10k steps a day, go to the gym for 1.5hrs-2hrs 4 times a week. I burn on gym days and average of 1000kcals actively.

Yet my weight for the past 4 weeks has bounced between 88-89kg. Has anyone had this issue or got any advice. At this point I’m trying to be even more active and what not but nothing seems to change.

So I have to lose weight for medical reasons, I don’t think im obese but I’m technically overweight. Can I avoid loose skin? I’m still pretty young, under 18, I can say my specific age if that matters, but im not sure how to go about this, I heard water and age is a factor? My sister does have a bit of loose skin if that matters too. I’m 5’7.6. I just say 5’8 tho, and 180 lbs, I’m trying to get down about 165? Or 160, but idk if that’s a healthy weight? I have a gym membership, but I haven’t gone in a while due to a broken leg, I still have a cast on, would water only fasting work? Or intermediate fasting?

to start with my details i’m a 23 year old trans girl on HRT for about 7 years and 5 foot 9. this is a rough estimate for time frames but i weighed about 100kg in may 2024 and now weigh 80kg. recently my weight loss has been pretty quick and loss nearly 1kg a week. however, for the past couple weeks i’ve lost literally no weight at all. i’m very strict with calorie counting and only eat about 1300, which is low for my height. i don’t exercise much but i focus solely on my diet. was wondering if anybody had any advice on this or to just reassure me that it’s normal? i’m kind of panicking because my weight loss has been helping with my anxiety but the plateau concerns me. sorry for the long post but any advice would greatly be appreciated ❤️

Since 2022, I've lost ~100lbs (240lbs to 145-150lbs). I'm now in the process of eating in a slight caloric surplus as I try to build muscle and tone further. It's been fun being able to lift more in the gym and I definitely find that my strength has increased but I am not enjoying this process in the slightest. Trying to shift my mindset from eating in a way that makes the scale go down to one where I'm looking for that number to increase has been really difficult psychologically. I successfully gained ~4lbs since October 20th––which makes sense for the surplus I've been eating at––but I find myself really upset by this development. How did folks effectively shift their mindset to deal with intentional and positive weight gain?

In summary, I think I accidentally did body recomposition in the last 2 months. It’s been frustrating me a lot, seeing myself at the same weight, and even fluctuating higher at some points despite sticking to my activity levels and working out consistently. I dropped weight very easily from this January, but I’ve slowed down a lot. I want to pin it down to muscle and how ‘toned’ I’ve been getting as I sort of traced back the time I seemingly stopped losing weight to being the time I bought a kettlebell to use at home, which was nearly two months ago now. And, if anything, my activity level has been higher the last two months than it was when I was first losing weight.

I still want the scale to go down, but also don’t necessarily want to stop doing weighted workouts. Do I try an decrease my cals by an extra 100-200 (they’re already pretty tight to manage, honestly) or do I stop with the weighted workouts until I get down to my goal weight (which I’m not far from) and then I can go back to weighted workouts? Is there a third option? What’s your opinion on this?

Thanks!

Edit for Stats: 5”8/175cm SW: 76.75kg CW: 62.60kg GW: 59.00kg Current Cals: approx 1300* with sparing cheat days

I know I’m at a good weight already, but I do want to be at ‘peak physique’ I guess!

As I’m sure many of you know, Uniqlo only stock up to XL in-store (not sure if they have bigger sizes online). I’m a big Uniqlo fan and own lots of tops/coats from there, but I’m bottom heavy and have NEVER been able to fit into their trousers.

Anyway, today I thought I’d give it a go- I’ve been pretty consistent in my exercise & eating for the last 3 months (prioritising protein, weight-training & lots and lots of walking) and sure enough- they buttoned & zipped! They’re damn tight- and I definitely won’t be buying them yet but I feel closer than ever to that goal.

It was also just wild to stand looking in a dressing room mirror and not just be horrible to myself !

hello! ive reached a healthy weight and have been maintaining it for about a year. rn im 20f, ~140lbs, give or take like 5. 2 years ago i was 184, so ive lost nearly 50lbs. im 5’4 so im at a health weight, even like 10/15lbs under i dont rlly remember. and in like content w my body but not like Happy with it yk? So i’d love to lose like 10-20 more lbs.

i know that after a while its abt discipline, and not as much motivation. but im a college student and i also have major depression, so it feels like all of my discipline abilities go towards doing my hw/going to class/engaging in hobbies/general hygeine/maintaining relationships. like, after forcing myself to do things i dont want to do all day long, its so hard to also force myself to eat food i dont rlly want to eat, esp when there rlly isnt like a pressing reason to. at this point, my health isnt great but most of that is likely due to not eating enough of various nutrients (mostly protein), so like eating less isnt rlly gonna make me healthier. it just makes me weak/tired.

how do u maintain discipline when ur already doing stuff u dont want to do all the time?

btw im medicated for depression and in therapy so like ik this is probably depression related but theres rlly not much more i can do in that area. im def depressed but this is as good as its gonna get. also im a vegetarian and yes its possible to get protein while vegetarian, but i eat at a college dining hall and all the protein options r pretty high calorie.

In my last post I talked about how I´ve been feeling better physically since I started focusing more on nutrition, so less bloating, my stomach feels better and so on. . I started eating mostly whole foods and am avoiding protein shakes and stuff. And it still stands true, physically I feel great.

However, I haven´t been counting calories. Therefore, I don´t know if I am really in a deficit. It´s only been a month so any weight loss might just be water weight. What I´ve noticed, though, is that I get irritated too easily. Things that wouldn´t have bothered me before, now make me mad and I end up feeling crazy. It´s not even like I feel hungry. Could my new eating habits be the problem?

Recently started my weight loss journey. Im 27M, 5' 10" and 200lbs. Aiming to be 150-160. I was active in high school and college but I'm in my last year of medical school and have been very sedentary those 4 years. I'm going back to the gym 3-4 times per week (not much, just running a mile) and trying to watch my weight.

I spent a week tracking my eating with Cronometer. I was doing great and finding new recipes to fit my calorie goals. But we have a lot of junk in the house because my pregnant wife has a lot of food cravings. I dont mind, I want to have the self control to avoid these snacks going forward, and all week I avoided them (except for maybe one per day that fit in my calorie goals). But I never feel full after my meals and last night I went crazy on chocolate and dried fruit to the point that I almost felt sick.

How do you guys do it?? I tried high protein, high fiber meals but still felt hungry and just couldn't take it after a week!
