What's your weight loss "cheat code"

I was recently fired from my job where I did 5 hours of walking. I lost weight fast, but now that I no longer work there. I'm finding it hard to get outside and walk if I don't have to

What's your "cheat code" to cardio weight loss. I found that fasting was the way to go, but I'm not just talking about method, I'm talking about motivation

How do you find the motivation to get up and walk 1+ hours a day ? Ik summer is coming up, but I don't think that's enough 😭

(Landscapers answer (or blue collar workers): I start a landscaping job tomorrow, did that help with weight loss ?)

300lbs, Female, haven't been to the gym since I was an athletic teenager, please help!

Hi all,

I've had various success with weightloss over the years, with a 70lb loss being the best success, following with regains. The diet I have is pinned down, I'm working with professionals and am happy there. The problem I have is I used to be incredibly athletic as a teenager in many sports and competing in most of them. I'm older now (30s)

Now, I have no idea where to begin aside from cardio. My brain thinks I can still pull off some pretty complex tumbles or swim 10k at my old pace lol, but obviously I can't. I definitely have lost most of my muscel with my last weight loss success, but now after falling off track I'm wanting to do it right this time. But I have no idea where to start with strength training.

Please can you share and resources that you found helpful? I'm not able to get a personal trainer atm, so I'm looking to begin with a good start as much as I can. I generally do best with a routine that I can write down and follow.

Thanks!

Lose it - without gym?

Hi all ✨

Me (F / 33 / 160cm / ~65kg) and my boyfriend moved to a new area in February and are still settling in. The gym chain we’re subscribed to isn’t close by anymore and I’d prefer not to switch because we got a really good deal and genuinely like the gym overall. We’re trying to motivate ourselves to just take the car and drive there again, although realistically it probably won’t be as often as before for a while 👀

Normally, I would do home workouts instead, but since everything is still a bit chaotic here, we don’t really have a space where I feel comfortable working out. 🫠
I also tried calorie counting for a while, but honestly didn’t notice any significant weight loss — I mostly just maintained my current weight. 🙃

So my question is: what are your experiences and tips with losing weight while taking a break from sports/exercise? Especially if you’re trying to lose “only” around 20 lbs.

Thank you in advance! 🙌🏻

6 months postpartum and unable to lose weight in a calorie deficit, what gives?

I’ve done a handful of weight loss journeys throughout my life and have successfully lost 20-30 pounds more than once. I carefully track calories (yes I know how), eat enough to lose 1lb per week, and do some light exercise that does not factor into my calorie goal. I no longer breastfeed.

I’m completely baffled that the scale originally went down 5 lbs, but after another month, it went back up! I’m so confused by this. I’m tracking, weighing, measuring, sometimes even overestimating calories just to cover it. What gives? I’m back where I started and none of this makes sense. I’ve never had this problem before. Any other postpartum moms out there dealing with this, and any tips to help?

2 week Question

Hi All,

This is my first post here and I just had a few questions for members who are more knowledgeable than me.

So I have “started” my journey last August but I did not really commit and get serious until two weeks ago. I have hit my two week tracking streak with the Loseit app and I am really proud of myself for staying consistent!

I know that just starting out I shouldn’t expect to see results right away and I truly am trying my best to create a lifestyle change rather than just being on a diet. As of right now my deficit number is about 1900kcal and for the past two weeks I have been tracking everything I eat and staying under that as well. It fluctuates from day to day but I try to stay about 2-300kcal under my goal.

I started doing this when I first downloaded the app because I was under the misconception of how being in a deficit works.

Since the two weeks have passed my weight has fluctuated up and down a pound. I weigh once a week to keep track of my progress.

So my first question is: is staying under the goal a good idea? I have not had too many issues with it so far, I only ate over my goal one day (drunk spicy chicken nuggets lol). I think I would hesitate more if I was struggling to stay at that number but I haven’t. I just want to make sure the habits I’m building will stay and be long term. Also, it’s not the same deficit everyday so I’m not sure if this is a bad thing in terms of consistency?

Second: If I do stay on this path and be in a larger deficit, what type of results can I expect? I know that for the first month or even more than that the results are skewed, but after that is it realistic to think that maybe I will lose 1.5 pounds per week rather than the 1 pound I have set in the app now? I am OK with getting used to calorie intake this if it will have a significant impact on my weight loss, but again I have been doing it on purpose. I could eat 1900 calories easily and I would like opinions on if this is worth it to maintain!!

Thanks so much in advance if anyone comments, this subreddit has changed my perspective so much already!! I really hope so join everyone in their successes (:

allium intolerance and eating

I have been having a hard time managing my allium intolerance)possible allergy) and eating. I have gained weight due to flair ups and inactivity when trying to eat well, but then may make a mistake and accidentally eat something with garlic or onions and I am sick for a week. Alliums are in so many foods (except sweets) so sweets are my safe foods other than yogurts, fruit and oats, protein meal replacements and coffee which is most of my diet.

Can anyone else relate with having food issues that make weight loss more difficult? Also it’s really frustrating being in a bigger body that can’t eat a lot of foods and I am someone who does not struggle with eating too much. It’s so frustrating. Going to the doctors for pain management and hearing “change your diet” when I’m at 1200 calories per day, lots of veggies, low carbs and I’m at 100 grams of protein and 35 grams of fiber if I do eat. IDT pain is considered when doctors try to help.

N=1 Weight Loss Experience

So, I want to preface this by saying this is based solely on my experience with no scientific backing of which I'm aware.

When it comes to the last 15 lbs of weight loss, the only meaningful tactic that's worked for me are fasts between 24 to 36 hours.

I know the research backs the CICO model, and I'm sure this applies to the vast majority of people. However, if I simply restrict calories, after a certain point, I will only become a smaller version of myself with the same proportion of fat to lean mass.

I have gained and lost enough times to realize this is absolutely true for my body.

I just wanted to share, not as medical advice, but perhaps there's the odd few out there who are built like me and are banging their heads against walls trying traditional methods.
