Today im officially down 80lbs.

Starting weight 310lbs Dec 5th 2025, current weight 230lbs July 27th 2026. Down 80lbs as a 21 year old 5’8 man in 8 months. For my routine and diet im eating 1600 calories daily, drinking a little over a gallon of water daily, i walk 10k steps most days.

Every month im getting closer and closer to my goal, i thought I would be happier about all the weight im losing but i really don’t feel anything at all not happy or sad. My end goal is to weigh 140-150lbs, I still have a long way to go. Another goal of mine is to finish this year under 200lbs.

The hardest part of weight loss for me personally was starting. Starting is the hardest but once you’ve stacked months and days, that’s all the motivation I need now, the motivation I need to keep going is all the days and months I’ve already put in. I will never do that to myself again I will never gain this weight back again.

How to get back on track + deal with calories during going out dinners?

I've lost 14 kg (about 31 lbs), going from 109 kg (240 lbs) to 95 kg (209 lbs), but I've been stuck at this weight for about six months now. During that time I've had periods where I gained a few kilos because of vacations or going out for dinner more often, but I've always managed to lose that weight again.

The weight loss happened over the course of 2,5 years, and I was happy with the slow but steady progress. After so many failed attempts in the past, I'm really proud that I've managed to keep the weight off for this long. Still, this plateau is starting to get frustrating.

I think there are two main reasons why I'm stuck:

• I've found it difficult to get back into tracking everything I eat. Part of the problem is that I often have days where I already know tracking won't be realistic because I have dinner plans or some other social event. That makes it harder to stay consistent.
• A few years ago I lost touch with a lot of my friends, so I made a conscious effort to build a new social circle. I'm really happy that I did, and I now have a much more active social life. The downside is that seeing friends often revolves around eating out, grabbing drinks, or other food-related activities. I rarely drink alcohol anymore, so that's not the issue. The harder part is choosing the healthier option when everyone else is ordering whatever they want. It also doesn't help that restaurants where I live don't list calories on their menus.

Ironically, having very few friends made losing weight much easier because I wasn't constantly surrounded by tempting food or social meals.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How do you balance an active social life with continuing to lose weight? I'd really appreciate any advice.

Is constant diarrhea… normal?

Sorry for the TMI! I have started my weight loss journey in May and that’s around the time I’ve had consistent diarrhea. Every now and then I’d have a normal stool.

I was on vacation for a few weeks out of the country and wasn’t dieting. Surprisingly, I had completely normal stools no diarrhea no constipation. I got back on Tuesday and started back on my diet. It was normal Tuesday then Wednesday I started having diarrhea again and very liquidy. Again so sorry for the TMI.

I used to never have issues with diarrhea if anything I would have issues with constipation and poop once every couple days. Now it’s 1-2x a day and diarrhea. My diet hasn’t changed too much, I’ve just been more intentional with tracking calories and maintaining a deficit. Is this normal? Does it regulate after a while? Is there any supplement I can take to fix it?

Am I consuming too much fat for a healthy diet or is my calorie tracking app just recommending a small amount?

I (female, in my early twenties, if that matters) use the calorie tracking app Yazio for my weight loss journey and it worked great so far. I manage to stay in my deficit most day and have no issues with weight loss. The macro nutrient I cut out the most are carbs, I still eat them however just less of them.

What I noticed however is that Yazio recommends eating only 47 gramms of fat a day, if I had a lot more movement that number goes up because my total energy expenditure goes up as well. So on an average day I can have about 55 gramms of fat. Usually I consume about 70 gramms. My total calories for a day like that would be 1600.

While I try to eat mostly healthy fats, like olive oil or fatty fish, I also eat about a serving of butter a day and regularly eat cheese (mostly mozarella, feta or halloumi)

Am I consuming too much fat for a healthy diet or is Yazio just recommending a smaller amount in order for people to stay in a deficit more easily?

I am planning to get some bloodwork done for a number of reasons and that will probably tell me, but i just wanted ask on here anyways since the appointment is a couple weeks away.

What are some calorie dense foods people aren’t aware of? And alternatively, what are some foods with very little calories?

I recently made a post here after I discovered how calorie dense granola was. I know nuts and peanut butter are pretty calorie dense too, but what are some other foods that are similarly calorie dense? Also want to know what are some surprising foods that are low in calories that one wouldn’t expect, but are also really filling. I’m currently on a weight loss and everyday I just realize how important weighing my food is lol due to the calorie density of some of these foods. I’ve been eating a lot of chicken, bell peppers, swapped rice for potatoes, and consuming a lot of Greek yoghurt. Loads of fruits as well!

Every Time I Lose Weight I Gain It back, I Need Advice

So I've struggled with my weight for a very long time, basically my whole life and always have been dieting and trying to lose weight. Last year I lost about 13kg and gained back 20.
I'm really not proud to admit that, and thinking about it genuinely makes my heart drop. I wasn't really eating well when I lost all that weight, and I don't recommend that. Anyway, now I'm really discouraged and I don't know where to start, especially because I'm back at the beginning of what seems to be a miserable loop I so desperately want to get out of.

Anyway, I have some concerns:

I'm really short (153cm) so I'm definitely not at an advantage and I'm told I need to lift weights; I tried getting into it with a personal trainer but she was honestly pretty terrible and would make fun of me to coworkers and that turned me off the gym for a bit. Not saying I won't work out. I have a treadmill at home, are there any workouts that I can do at home to build muscle? What's a good workout schedule?

As far as nutrition goes, I'm at my wit's end. Everyone says something different: track your calories, hit 100g of protein but don't forget your fiber. Go on a calorie deficit but make sure it's not too low. How do I know what's too low??

Compliance and maintenance. I think it goes without saying that I probably have a huge problem with that; I'm trying to think of weight loss as a lifestyle shift rather than a momentary thing but for some reason that makes it a lot harder. Every time I change for the better I get 100x worse.

I'm not trying to be negative and I haven't lost all hope but I'm feeling really lost and I'm hoping to get some advice or pointers to the right direction. Thank you for reading and I appreciate any comments.

How to handle body dysmorphia after weight loss

hi all! I have went from 92 kg to 62 kg in 6 months. Even though i feel better physically, i feel so much worse in my body now than i did before.
I always envisioned my body to look a certain way and it does not.
That makes me so much more insecure than when i was big! Even though i am not skinny now, i wish i felt better in my own skin after all the work i put in.
For example, i always envisioned skinny arms, but since they were huge to begin with, they are now not exactly small plus they have some loose skin, so i dont have that “skinny arm” that i always wanted experience, which sucks after battling this for so long.
Does loosing more weight help with this? Am i just still too big to see any kind of definition? i am currently 160 cm and 62 kg, or 5’3 and 138 pounds.
Does anyone have experience/insight on this?
