Im so MAD at myself

so basically im pretty mad at myself I have genuinely lost so much weight like 100+ lbs

with 40 lbs remaining. losing the rest of the weight is proving hard because of one reason and one reason only. A L C O H O L. legit the only thing standing in between me and 175-180lbs is booze its honestly annoying and exhausting. I know what it is I have to do, I know how to cut, I know how to do good in the gym but this is frustrating because I have to literally evaluate my relationship with alcohol. See, I come from an interesting family my father is Yoruba (Nigerian) comes from a line of alcoholics. My mother is African American and Native American, comes from a line of alcoholics. Everyone in my family drinks. I get home? Younger brother is buzzed, older sister is buzzed Mom is buzzed. Dad is at work (we work at the same company hes in management but I work on the ramp at the airport) but when pops gets home? He's buzzed. So ive have bouts of sobriety I went 60 days once but its so hard because someone in my family will ask "Hey, want a shot?" its so fucking hard, because I want this weight gone Ive worked hard and I have gone so far. I have no clue what to do and I'm at a lost of words as to what I can do. I know I have the strength to get the job done. But its such a tough battle, I have no clue where to begin. I'm also even more discouraged because considering my family history this alcohol addiction might literally be in my blood at this point. I appreciate this subreddit it helped me so much seeing everyone posts and motivational stories about getting the fat off. Some days I feel genuinely defeated because of booze a little bottle that I've allowed to keep me from what it is that I want and the person I want to be. Those of you that have struggled with alcohol becoming a road block in weight loss, what did you do? Do you have any tips, and if you do what did you do to help yourself get to the goal that you desperately wanted?

What small things can make this process suck less?

F18 5’6”, lost 25 pounds (from 185) in 2024 but have slowly regained 15 in the two years. I’m incredibly ashamed that I never actually reached my goal weight and even more ashamed that I have to play the weight loss game again. Getting closer to my goal is so difficult because I have to ramp up the intensity of my diet and exercise to get those last few pounds off, and I’m never able to convince myself to worsen and maintain the already unpleasant experience.

All I ever think about is what I’m going to eat and when I get to eat next. I’m always hungry — my stomach growls loud as fuck and it’s embarrassing. I’m currently 170 pounds and all I need to do is lose 15-20 more pounds. It’s going to take several months, but I don’t know if I’m mentally strong enough for this. I’m already depressed without the weight loss added in!

I’m sure we can all agree that this shit sucks and is a hard mental and physical task. What do you do to make it suck less, or to convince yourself that it doesn’t suck? “Seeing results” is not really what I’m looking for, that’s a more long-term thing — I mean something that is able to be done or encountered every day. Just tiny stuff to make it better, or to at least make you think it’s better than it is.

I Keep Messing Up My Weight Loss – Need Help

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. I have been on a weight loss journey for several years and I just keep messing up no matter how bad I want it. I find myself making the same mistakes over and over again, no matter what I do.

I often skip tracking my calories, telling myself that one snack doesn’t count. I eat healthy throughout the day, but end up eating plenty of chocolate, ice cream, and pizza after supper than what I planned on doing for my portions. I also find myself skipping workouts when I’m tired or stressed. Most importantly, I tend to focus way too much on the scale and not enough on my small victories.

I’m in a vicious cycle where my weight goes up and down but never changes, and I can’t figure out how to break out of it. Has anyone experienced this? What did you do to get it together and see progress? I could really use some tips!

Home workout programs that are easier in intensity than Chloe ting

hello, I'm 18 years old and weigh 82 kgs. I know the basics of it all strength training to increase stamina, cardio to facilitate weight loss and calorie deficit to actually lose it all.

I have a treadmill I do at least 45 mins fast-walking in it for cardio (trying to make it regular) eating gut healthy foods like dahi or yogurt, apples and cucumber nd whatnot with my regular meals as well as trying to cut down on dinner.

My main concern is that for strength training like for abs, legs and whatnot I m a bit lost on what to do there is so much bad opinion on Chloe ting plus I can't exercise for 1hr+ I need something that can be done under 1hr as i m also a student so time is of the essence for me, also doable (as you can imagine being 82kg as a 5'5 female at the age of 18 is bordering obesity). thankyou for all the recommendations and useful tips you can give me beforehand ^^.

No matter what I do, I can’t lose the last 15 pounds.

SW: 247 CW: 168 - F, 5’11, 30

When I was in my teens, I lost about 60 pounds but over the years I gained it back and some. I finally decided to actually commit to the weight loss for good and I lost 75 pounds between 2021-2023ish (with a little bit of yo-yoing in between). I managed to keep off the weight and recently had 6 pounds of loose skin removed from my stomach!

I still would like to loose another 15-20 pounds but no matter what I do, my weight will not budge. For three months straight, I weighed and tracked every single calorie that I ate and my weight barely dropped. It got to the point that I went and had bloodwork done to rule out any thyroid or other issues (there were no issues). I’m not sure if my metabolism is just shot from all the years of doing random diets or severe calorie deficits from when I was younger.

I started going to the gym in November 5 days a week so figured I may have been slowly putting on muscle mass and that’s why I wasn’t seeing the scale change but I haven’t gone to the gym now for 2 months because of my surgery and the scale still hasn’t gone down 😩

I just would love some advice from any of you that have been stuck with your weight while being in a calorie deficit. What could possibly be my issue and how can I fix it?!

Thank you in advance ❤️

I am a 16 year old girl taking responsibility for my health.

I’m officially starting my weight loss journey after years of trying, stopping, and starting over again. This time feels different though. It’s only been 3 days so far, but I’m already noticing a shift in my mindset.

I’m living by 2 mantras:

1. Consistency over perfection.

2. The craving will pass whether you eat the food or not

For years, I’ve found it hard to stay consistent with any diet or exercise routine. I’d get motivated for a little while, then slowly fall back into old habits, giving in to cravings or losing focus. It’s been frustrating, and at times, really discouraging. But instead of letting those past attempts define me, I’m choosing to see them as lessons that brought me to this point.

Right now, I’m 5’0 and 167 lbs, and my goal is 132 lbs. It’s not just about the number though, it’s about feeling stronger, healthier, more confident, and proving to myself that I can stick with something, even when it’s hard.

These first few days haven’t been perfect, but they’ve been consistent, and that already feels like a win. I’m learning to be more patient with myself, to build better habits step by step, and to stop expecting overnight results. This is a long-term commitment, and I’m ready for it.

So here’s to showing up every day, even when I don’t feel like it. Here’s to discipline over motivation, progress over perfection, and finally breaking the cycle.

I’d really appreciate some hype and encouragement, I’m determined to make this time count 💪

Unhappy with my appearance after weight loss.

I've been overweight most of my life, and about a year and a half ago, I decided I was tired. I remember it was a day that I had a binge and felt so physically uncomfortable after. When I was young, my weight was because I was being raised by people who were neglectful and didn't care enough to buy me decent food or teach me how to live a healthy lifestyle. Then, when I grew up, it was because I used food as a way to cope with whatever issues I was having, along with still not really understanding how to be healthy. I had many binge episodes before that, but for some reason, that time was different.

As I sat in my chair feeling uncomfortable, I realized I had sat in that chair for like a month straight every day and did the exact same thing smoked weed and binge ate on unhealthy food. I became very sad and had to question if this is how I wanted to continue living my life. So, I started trying to be healthier. I started by changing my eating habits slowly, more vegetables, less processed foods, slightly smaller portions, less meat, etc. Then, about a month later, I started getting up and walking. First a couple times a week, then soon about every other day, then eventually every day. I got up to 10-12 miles somedays. Then i bought a bike and started biking a little each week.

In less than a year, I lost about 50 lbs from where I started put on a little muscle, i have visible muscle on my arms now, significantly more toned legs, and honestly became a different person. Then I was struggling for a bit, and my weight plateaued for about 5 months. Then I recommited and in the last month have lost about another 12lbs (so at least 62lbs total) So what's the problem? I don't know. I just don't feel great. Physically, I'm probably in better shape than the scale indicates. When I started just walking up a flight of stairs, I left me out of breath. Now? Last week, I biked 160 miles in total over 5 days. I know it's not super impressive compared to others, but I just don't feel satisfied. Today, I looked at myself in the mirror, and while I can tell my body composition is massive changed from even a year ago, I still felt disappointed with how I looked.

IDK what's wrong, but I find myself thinking more about how I look now than when I was a morbidly obese and according to the internet, I'm still obese even though i don't feel like it. Overall, I'm happy that I did what I said I was going to do, but I didn't think it would feel this bad being smaller. I'm also struggling with how people treat me now compared to when i was at my heaviest. I'm not at my goal weight and still have a long way to go but I just find it hard to keep putting in the effort because it feels like it'll never happen even though I've proven that I can do it. I constantly compare my body to other males, and most of the time, it makes me sad. It doesn't help that I am very short (5'4"-5'5"), which is a whole other issue I have. Now people don't make fun of me for being fat, but they do a low-key look down on me for being a small man now, which I didn't notice before, probably because I was so fat. IDK, I hope this is coherent and makes sense. I'm just pouring my feelings out right now and needing attention because I don't have anyone else I can vent to about it. Is it that I can't cope with how massive i was, or am I just unrealistic?
