I made it! ONEDERLAND!

I have no clue when the last time was that I was under 200. I started gaining weight rapidly starting in the 3rd grade and I know I was wearing size 18 by high school, so it was probably middle school or junior high.

I started my journey in June of 2024 at 285. I’m now at 199.7

I’ve done weight watchers in the past so I tried that again, but then decided it was just easier to count calories and go to the gym. So I switched tactics and lost 50 pounds by October of last year.

And then I went on vacation, came back and just couldn’t lose any more weight and actually gained 7 pounds!! 6 months I tried so hard and didn’t lose anything and got incredibly discouraged and depressed. I was sitting at 242 and figured I was stuck at that weight because back in 2022 I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. They had to remove my thyroid which controls your metabolism so I have to rely on a pill. And I know that didn’t help my weight loss. Plus I am in my 40s and peri menopause is right around the corner as well.

Well Feb 28th of this year I decided to try the shot and that’s helped me lose 42 pounds. It’s helped me with portion control, it’s helped curb my sweet tooth and I think it’s the best thing for me. And yes, my endocrinologist who monitors me is well aware I’m on trizepitide.

I’ve gone from a size 26 jeans being too tight to 10 now being just a tad too small and size 4x shirts to a size 10 in shirt.

I love shopping for clothes now! And I’m not just stuck buying from torrid, and in fact I’ve almost sized out of torrid!!!

I’m still in disbelief

I’ve gone from obese class 3 to being about 8 pounds away from no longer being obese. That’s still so hard for me to wrap my brain around.

New to weight loss

I am trying to lose weight since I am currently in the overweight range and cutting close to obesity (4’11-170lbs)
I decided enough was enough and that I needed to do something about it, so I’m buying a walking pad and cutting coke, while also cutting the greasy foods I eat and drinking more water every day.
I also began to do leg exercises which Included using a pedal exerciser that was in the garage— so I’m wondering if this is enough for me to drop down? I’m also doing other home exercises like jumping jacks, planks, burpees, and other light stuff of that matter.

What are your safe, unconventional tips for weight loss success?

Im wondering if anyone has any little tips and tricks to help with sustainable weight loss!

I’m not talking crazy, extreme things like “800 calories a day” or “eat a tapeworm” lol

but I’m wondering if there are little things you can recommend to get to my goals! I (27F) am trying to lose 40lbs

Maybe things like how to get more steps in or more movement without making it feel like a chore or taking too much time, calorie swaps that aren’t conventional, stuff like that!

I’m down to hear anything that doesn’t promote unsafe habits!

Getting stronger but want to switch focus

Hello everyone!

I have been going to the gym since the beginning of the year with my wife. We go 4-5 days a week. While she is more consistent, I have been less so.

Since our journey I have lost around 20lbs, however, around end of May things kinda went sideways. We had our wedding, I started a new job, and a family member passed away. We tried to stay consistent and eventually got back to the groove of things around a month ago.

My wife is amazing, she's tracking everything and losing weight. She's lost a total of around 50lbs.

I on the other hand, not so much. I gained 15lbs back. My current job is sedentary desk job compared to my more active job previously. I'm eating okay but not tracking as hard.
HOWEVER, I am significantly getting much stronger than before we had our break. I'm breaking PRs and lifting much heavier. I am not losing weight though, I am assuming that the fat I am burning is just being replaced by muscle mass.

My question is, if I were to focus less on weight training and focus on my cardio and diet- would my muscle mass significantly drop? I would still be doing weight training but a little less. I just want to focus on burning the fat than gaining the strength.
Has anybody been in the same boat? If its better to keep my strength training and just focus on diet for the weight loss, any tips to stay more consistent?
If I were to transition my focus to less weight training, what is something I can do to not lag behind and lose all my muscle mass?

Sorry for the questions, thanks in advance for the help!

What pushes you to keep going even on bad days? How do you maintain motivation?

Hey yall! I (20m) am currently 214 pounds and want to reach 180 as my goal and start building muscle. A couple months ago I was 226 and want to really start actually focusing with my health goals.

So this month I joined a run club and have started to work out with a friend (Trying to do twice a week but I'm probably only going once this week because of her schedule.)

Some days though I just don't want to go to my run club or work out and eating at a calorie deficit is proving both easier than I thought and some days impossible at the same time if that makes sense lol. I suppose I just want to ask how yall do it?

I've seen some people on this sub talk about massive weight loss and online I sometimes watch those transformation videos and so I need help with consistency.

Opinions?

Hello my 20th birthday is today. I’ve been on a 6 month weight loss journey so far and surprisingly woke up today ending a LEGIT 2.5 month plateau where my weight was barely moving. I can’t believe I finally ended this plateau for now.
Since I am so proud of myself I’m honestly scared and feel guilty about eating out today without caring so much and drinking, this is also my plan for Sunday with my friends.
I’m honestly just looking for if anyone has had a couple off days without genuinely gaining weight back, if it’s worth indulging today and Sunday. Thank you ❤️
