Need to start over in 2026-- lost myself

Hey everyone! I'm looking to jump back on the weight loss for 2026 (probably like a million others). I have a fairly healthy history of successfully losing weight but regaining it again. This time around, I'd like to lose the weight and keep it off. Here are some things I do already:

1. I calorie count (or am familiar with it)
2. I'm vegetarian
3. I participate in high activity exercise (I'm a runner)
4. I drink plenty of water (roughly 72-128 oz a day)

For reference:

I'm 29, 5'8, 155.2 lbs (70.5 kg) and hoping to lose another 15 pounds (about 6.8 kg).

Is there anything I'm missing? Anything that could help aid me in the process of re-losing weight again?

Thanks!

What are your healthier options you buy that aren’t produce?

I’m starting my weight loss journey again after I put on 40lbs in the last year (thanks a lot, perimenopause). I’m planning on going shopping at Walmart and Costco (in western Canada) over the next week to stock up my fridge and pantry with healthier foods and would love some inspiration. I’m a snacker and I love all things bread based, cheese, sweets etc so if there’s anything out there that’s a healthier alternative which still hits the spot for you, I’m all ears! Thanks and happy new year to you all 😄

losing weight fast then rebuilding vs. losing sustainably

5'4" 20y female. SW 224lbs, GW 120, currently 218.

I’ve received mixed opinions about losing 100 lbs quickly versus taking a more sustainable approach. Some people say that it’s better to lose the weight as fast as possible to get it off, then focus on maintenance and building long-term habits. Others believe it’s better to lose weight slowly to avoid regaining it.

I’m not new to weight loss, but it’s been a while. I know that I can lose weight quickly, but I also know I can gain it back just as fast. I’m currently in university, and I’m able to stick to a routine that includes working out and eating in a calorie deficit.

Ultimately, I’m looking for advice because I would really like to reach my goal weight by October 2026.

Losing Motivation

Hi everyone! I have a couple of questions regarding weight loss, as unfortunately I’ve recently lost motivation to do so. I went from 250 to 220 on a 1600 calorie deficit as a 21 year old male, but after two months the weight loss slowed. I kept hearing about metabolic resets and was told to eat normally for a while, but now I’m back up to 235. Im not over eating and not eating lots of processed foods, just more calories. I guess question is, are metabolic resets a real thing, and why did my weight loss slowed so much? I know that you stop fast from water weight but 30 lbs seems like a lot for that lol. I also know I should be doing weight training, but honestly don’t know how. I have 20 and 25lb dumbbells at home, since I’m too busy with full time work and grad school to go to the gym. Any advice would be great, thank you!

Bulked to 145 at 16, any healthy way to cut fat?

I used to be skinny fat at 125, little to no muscle, but cutting would have meant going close to underweight at the time about a year ago.

I’ve been off and on, but I’ve had two 4 month weight lifting journeys, one up to a year ago about this time, and one from Late August to now (and still going), and bulked up to 145 pounds (can’t go significantly higher, planning on joining AFROTC in the future, 5’6 maximum is 155 pounds and I’m waiting to see if I’ll get any taller before trying to bulk up any more, so that’s not an option)

Problem is, I’m still around the same 23-25% body fat as when I started, and I want to at least reduce that to AT LEAST under 20% to reduce some of the excess fat on me, possibly lower eventually, but not if losing weight to get there would be unhealthy.

It seems like teen weight loss is kinda mixed, some sources say it’s not advisable AT ALL, some say up to a 300-500 calorie deficit is okay, personally, my plan was to lose around 0.5-0.6% BW per week, but if I had to go at a rate of 0.25%, or even 0.1% to not mess things up, I’d do it

Now one other thing, yes I could get to under 20% just by recomposition, but this would take several months and I know from several weeks of research that it’s much slower than a cut and lean bulk cycle, so if I CAN, I want to use cut and bulk cycles to my advantage, any thoughts?
