Is 2500 calories too much for me?

6’2 Male 188cm tall, 100kg as of this morning. My goal is to get to the 80kg range and stay there as maintenance.

I have spent ages looking through Reddit and weight loss forums and have seen plenty of different opinions and advice. I would like to lose around half a kilo a week or maybe 1 kg a week. I have a wedding to go to and want to look my best.

I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and have pretty intense heavy lifting sessions. I also average about 8000 steps a day, with some days having a 30k bike ride attached.

I’m currently eating at 2500 calories a day but im feeling like it’s too much. I’m not seeing much progrss and feel like I’m eating the same amount as when I wasn’t tracking calories and got fat. I eat plenty of eggs and protein, so as long as I’m hitting that goal I am fine with whatever restriction I need to take no matter how extreme I guess (as long as it is not dangerous)

Reversing fatty liver/weight loss.

Hi all,

Back in march last year, I had a CT scan, this was for something else, they did discover "The background parenchyma shows slightly low density in keeping with fatty infiltration." Mild fatty liver apparently, All the liver test results were fine, and within normal limits. To be honest, the GP at the time didn't really go through it with me.

I did find out that weight loss should help, Near the time (January 2025) I was 95.2kg, and I'm 5ft6, so had quite a bit of weight that I wanted to lose,

I'm now 74.3kg, through exercise, and diet (Which I'm still doing) as of last Friday, so hopefully that should have helped! As inside read, that over 10 percent total body weight loss would reverse it. Im around 22 percent loss now. And 20kg lost.

I am aiming for less weight as well. 11st 7 ish, perhaps a bit less.

As my original scan was for something else stomach related and was on the NHS, the only way I'll find out if the fatty liver has reduced is another scan, and I would have to pay for that, as my new GP the weight loss I've addressed is what they would have suggested.

Sorry for the long winded post 🤣 Has anyone successfully reversed it?

Down 20 lbs but kinda scared

For reference I'm mid 30s female, 5'11 and was 287 as of April 10th. Went to a general check up today and was down to 266. Which should make me happy. But honestly I'm a little nervous.

Losing weight has historically been almost impossible for me. Not really sure why, doctors have never found a reason. Usually blood work is normal and my thyroid has been tested multiple times.

I have unconsciously made some changes; less soda, less dessert, smaller portions, and definitely moving more by just walking. These weren't concious choices, just not really feeling hungry or interested in food. I don't know if this is just anxiety talking or what.

I don't think I look all that different, I've gone down about one size which was why I don't think I noticed the weight loss.

I guess I just want verification that little changes can do That much. I have really severe health anxiety.

Starting My Weight Loss Journey

Hey everyone,

I am at the beginning of my weight loss journey and trying to learn as much as I can before deciding on a plan. My main goal is to reduce body fat and lose 10 kgs but in less than three months to improve my overall health and build habits that I can actually stick with long term.

While researching different options just wanna how people decide between them. If you were starting from scratch today, which option would you consider first and why and overall experiences?

I appreciate from people who have been through the process themselves.

Can we talk about cortisol, stress, and trauma?

Did any of you need to get away from stressful or toxic relationship or family dynamics before you could shed weight? I personally noticed a time in my life where I had a lot of space from one particular parental relationship, coincided with me being a healthier weight, without trying. This is what sparked the question.

Did any of you need to do something to improve your cortisol levels before the scale would budge? Quit coffee, regulate mood/sleep, end toxic patterns?

What really IS the role of cortisol in weight loss? Is it more important than people think?

I can never lose weight

hello!
Im 17F and currently on summer vacations. my whole life i’ve been Fat and i have always had unhealthy eating habits and a problem of binging foods along with not being very active.

Over the years I’ve tried counting calories and going to the gym but I’ve just never stayed consistent with it, quitting a couple of weeks in because i have no willpower. I really don’t want to spend any more of my life and I really wanna lose the weight but i can never do it

I will be getting a proper gym membership this July so Im hoping that helps but Im not very optimistic due to my many failures.I’m looking for advice and tips on how to stay consistent during weight loss and how to deal with cravings as thats what mainly causes me to fail

Currently my height is 5 feet 4inches
and my weight is 183 lbs
my dream weight is 120-130lbs

Walking pace and exercise

Today I hit 11 min/km through 10,7 km, 119 kg/178 cm, I was reading somewhere that 6km/hour should be max speed, because of injuries. I can definitely walk faster, should I tho?

I do not want to run because of knee stress, I walk with 1 leg on floor always, power-ish walking- true power walking can reach like 10 km/hour + and I cannot find fat people walking like that anywhere so I am not really sure about my goal, I am better at it with every step I take.

I also want to go down to like 7,5 km evening walk and buy a gym membership for body strength, if it will be possible, otherwise just because of the hot sun making impossible to walk with sunscreen on (i sweat a lot and the sunscreen washes away in 1st 10 mins) what workouts should I focus on for weight loss? Right now, never actually visited gym, I am thinking of a bit of walking for warm up then some squats, girl pushups and rowing, finish with stretching.
