Starting to lose weight

Hi everyone. I am a 29 year old, 5’11, 195 pound male.

I have been eating clean and cut back a lot on food intake.

I’m walking 4-5 miles daily and swimming about a half mile and doing yoga daily.

I am determined to reach my weight loss goals, now with that being said is there any legitimate “weight loss supplement” or tool?

I see mushroom coffees,lymphatic drinks, other stuff to “flatten” your stomach. A waist band to constrict your abs like a sit-up would (backed by the FDA) Etc..

I’m very skeptical on all of it and not convinced. My main point with this post is to ask, is any of it legit?

TIA.

Recommendations for weight loss journey?

Good evening!
(Quick preface - I’m writing from Europe so am not overly familiar with lbs and feet system, I hope the numbers I write are not too far off.)

So, I’m 30 yo woman and after realising I really disliked where my weight was at I decided to remedy the situation.
Problem is, I… might have done it wrong. On one hand, I’ve lost 26 pounds in two months (12 kg) and I’ve never felt better. I sleep so good, my face is finally slim again, my acanthosis is retreating at a super fast pace and generally I feel very happy.
On the other I’ve spent these two months and a half on 850 calories a day. I didn’t even eat bad! I made sure to have a day with extra calories and on all others I ate meals that were filling and diverse, low in calories and with as many proteins and fibers I could. Okay, on that front I didn’t do terribly good thinking back on it, they were def low in calories and diverse but as for proteins and fibers I could have done better.

For reference, I’m 167 (5’6”)cm tall and currently weight 80 kg (176 lbs). The end goal is 75 kg (165 lbs), because then I’m having a fat grafting operation and I need the extra fat. Also just generally I loved my body at 75 kg and I hate having a slim body, as I’m naturally masculine-looking and when I was slim it was very evident and I had terrible body dysphoria.

The problem is, lately I’ve noticed I’m really hungry. Since I’m on vacation til early August I’ve been adding two hours swimming sessions whenever I can and I feel famished with quite prominent cramping. I know I probably should add more calories daily but I’m terrified that by doing that I’ll retake all the kilos I’ve lost.

Do you have any suggestions for what could be a healthy calorie intake that won’t make me regain everything?

Thank you to whomever will answer ☺️.

Extremely lost

I have been feeling very lost in my weight loss journey. I struggle with pmos and ADHD so day to day is a big task.

Being consistent and disciplined is very hard and no amount of self love or self pity is helping me and feels like I have fallen off the bandwagon and that nothing is going to help.

Anyone experienced this and how they have gotten back to their routine and way of doing things and getting motivated and disciplined.

I was thinking maybe an accountability group or buddy might help me but I am very alienated from my friends and family because of starting a new job and quite honestly am feeling the worst I have felt in years.

So, here I am daring to say the word HELP to a bunch of kind internet strangers !

How do I achieve a build

Hello, I'm a completely fresh start, I've never worked out or desired to, but I recently want to start working out, but I can't find anything online that understands what I want to achieve.

I currently am 5ft 10 and around 18 stone , and all I know is I want a slim but not over muscly build where I can't see my veins because I hate veins, they scare me😭, I found that I need to aim for 15% body fat and that all I can grasp,

I would ideally like to know what workouts I should do and maybe like a plan on how to achieve this build, I've looked and toned is too much muscle but skinny is too little

If any advice or weight loss / work out plans could be shared that would be brilliant because I have no idea what I am doing.

So just a reminder so it's all together

Currently 5ft 10, 18 stone,

Dont like veins at all

Want to be not skinny but not muscly, something in between

And would appreciate advice

Thankyou

[F] 50kg+ down! Saggy skin and clothing advice needed!

Hi everybody. I’ve been on my weight loss journey for a year now and loss has been moderately fast. As expected, I’ve been left with a lot of excess loose skin on my upper arms, breasts, stomach, buttocks, and upper inner thighs. Of course, skin removal surgery is on the table for once I’m at my GW and maintained it for long enough, but until then I can’t do anything about it other than building muscle which always has a limit without juicing (which does not interest me in the slightest).

I ordered a pair of shorts that end just above where my thigh skin sits. They fit wonderfully, however my saggy thighs steal the show in a less than desirable way. I have control undergarments that do the trick especially for my stomach, but they don’t extend down to my thighs and would be on show if they did anyway. I would rather not have my control wear visible In the first place too.

Considering I’m maybe another year off until I go for surgery, does anyone here have any hacks and tricks to make these shorts and any other skirts and similar clothing pieces work with the loose skin? Maybe methods of taping the skin up or clothing combinations that would look cute with shorter bottom pieces whilst covering the sag? Maybe some particular tights that would look good under them whilst disguising or drawing attention away from the saggage? Any advice or tips appreciated!

Advice needed on how to continue after a motivation crash

To start off i feel like some background is required.

193cm, 145kg, male, 32 years old

8 years ago i was in the best shape of my life after losing 25kg and gaining a lot of muscle. Going from not being able to do pull ups to doing 20 at once. It felt amazing. I believe i weighed 100kg at the time. From there i got into a happy relationship and stopped going to the gym and eventually just started gaining a lot of weight. The most i've weighed myself at was 156kg about 4-5 months ago.

I know how to build muscle and how to eat properly while eating in a way that is sustainable.

I started properly going to the gym again 4 months ago but i had a good attempt last year also. Basically over the last 16 months, i've gone to the gym for about 10 of them, 3-5 times a week.

First 2 months: started gym this year at 156kg and doing 3 workouts per week. Push, pull, full body. After the first 1-1.5 months i lost about 10kg (probably water weight) and that's about the exact same weight i've been ever since.

After the first 2 months: Went back to my old workout routine of push, pull, legs, push, pull, full body so 6 days a week. I also started to follow all of my calorie intake for about 2 weeks so i roughly know what every meal has in it. On top of daily gym, i do about 45min of intense walking outside. I feel like i shouldnt try to jog at this weight.

The problem: I'm having insane motivation issues as my scale is stuck. I eat about 1500 calories per day on a good day and 1800-1900 on a bad day. Either day is still well below my maintenance calories which are about 2500-3000 depending on what site to believe.

My meals consist of the same foods each week but its the foods that i love so i'll probably keep eating them:

• Minced chicken
• Cottage cheese
• A lot of salad and vegetables (volume eater)
• Potatoes
• Steak
• Salmon

I feel like i've never been stuck at the same weight for so long as i have right now. It definitely feels even worse since i've been very strict on the diet and have not gone above 2k kcal on a single day for about 3 months in a row now. Today i weighed myself at 146 and i had a insane motivation loss as my brain is telling me "another week, same exact weight"

Either i'm doing something horribly wrong or losing even a few kg will take me about 2 months on 500-1000 calorie deficit per day. Which should not be a thing at my weight and the amount i move and workout per day.

I wouldnt ask for help usually but i feel like if i fail this now then i'm done and it's going to be harder to return to weight loss journey the older i get. I want to get it done now.

Gained ~15lbs on a 3 week binge. How should i go about losing it?

I have lost about 40 pounds over the last year mostly eating super healthy whole foods and have been maintaining my weight at about 2000 calories a day for a few months now, but for the last 3 weeks, the binge got me, for the first time in a long time. I feel terrible and feel like i have gained so much fat in my stomach and face. I am back in a good state of mind, and am ready to get back on the weight loss grind, but in a situation like this, it is super tempting to cut my calories by like a thousand for a month, which would hypothetically get me back to where i started. Is this the correct move? I feel so gross and just want to get back to where i used to be.
