I drink so much zero cal bullshit i swear it works

Coke. Tea. Sparkling water. Weird ice tea that's suprisingly tasty. Coffee (rarely). Energy drinks (even rarer). Lemonade. Flavored neon blue water. It has geniunely made my weight loss so much more bearable. Dare I say, enjoyable even.

Drinking whatever zero calorie bullshit I could get my hands on instead of eating out of boredom at that moment is a tactic that geniunely helps me keep some deadly binges at bay. I'll be walking down the street and want to stop by a restaurant or market to just get something, both to have something to do with my hand and to have something in my mouth, and you know what I get? That weird strawberry flavored pepsi that I love the taste of even though my sister looks at me in horror every single time. 2 cals per can. Bottoms up.

And I am also more hydrated than I was before. Sure, chemical explosion in my body, but let's be real. I wouldn't be any more healthier if I was eating 1500 cals over every single day instead, and I very easily could. We all could. The smallest thing which is the size of my thumb or something can cost like 300 cals out there, many of you folks are familiar I'm sure.

So yeah. Conclusion is, as I've heard some wise dude say before, drinking bullshit is better than drinking nothing. Get yourself a drink.

With 5 cals at most and triple that amount the chemicals for ideal results. Cheers.

How are the arms looking after a 50 pound weight loss?

I’m early 20s F, 5’7, losing weight at a very reasonable pace. At my highest I was 180 pounds, so I’d say it’s quite a few pounds down to my GW (ab 50 pounds) but not so crazy that I’d have to consider loose skin surgery. But one thing I’m worried about is my arms.

I know everyone is different, but generally speaking how did your arm skin (upper arms specifically) fare after a major weight loss? Did you end up with a lot of floppy skin that you had to treat with surgery? Or is there anything I can do to increase my chances of maybe not having so much loose skin once I get to 130 lbs?

Anyone giving up on losing the last 10 lbs?

My highest weight as a 5‘5“ female is was 311 pounds. My current weight is 157 pounds. I am thrilled with my weight loss overall! My original goal was to be under 200. Then to be merely overweight as opposed to obese and I am very happy I didn’t stop at those goals. My last goal was to get to 149lbs.
However, I have been stuck at 157 for the past three months. My doctor actually told me he thinks 10 pounds or so of my weight is probably excessive skin and/or increased muscle mass overall and he is happy with my labs so he was kinda like “Go for the loss if you want but it’s not definitely NOT harming your health to be at a slight overweight BMI.” Which is very reassuring but I still feel the need to keep going to hit that magical number.
I’m just not sure if I’m willing to go lower on my calories at this point to lose the final 8/9 pounds that would put me in the “normal BMI“
Can anyone relate? Anyone staying comfortable and happy in the slightly overweight category ?

Weight loss struggles rant- stalled losing weight

I’ve been losing weight naturally (just exercise and deficit) and I got myself to -10 lbs down from 147 to now 137.5 and my weight has been stalled for 10 days now. I’m still eating 1,000 cal a day, working out every other day (mostly cardio 200-300 cal a workout) I’m trying to increase it to daily.

I’ve been very resentful for the fact that I stopped losing I was hoping to lose 20 more lbs by new years and I thought I could do it now I see that maybe I just need to accept that this is my new normal. I’m also upset that 1,000 calories is my maintenance??? Like I’m not putting weight on but I’m also not losing. This is not sustainable in the long run and I’m upset that it’s that low. I see people in maintenance at 1500-1800 at the very least and I have to forever eat 1,000 just to stay this weight?? I’m also upset seeing other people’s journey on glp losing 10 lbs a week (when I lost that in 2 months) and I’m wondering why I’m doing this to myself when I could just go on it and lose the remainder 20 lbs this way. I’m starting to think there’s something wrong with my body or hormones or something since I’m not losing any weight on such a deficit.

Anyone else dealing with it?

Plateaued and frustrated

Hello everyone! My weight loss has plateaued since July and I’d love some input as to what to do it change it.
Is it just add more exercise? Up my calories? Just more protein?

I am a mom of two kids: woman 5 foot 6 inches tall, 33 years old, and I weighed in this morning at 165.3

I do my best to keep track of my intake. I have started to incorporate 30-45 minutes Caroline Girvan strength workouts and 15 minute kettlebell hiit workouts.

Do I just keep going? What do I need to change?

I’ve been eating no refined sugars, no gluten, no grains, no cow dairy.

My goal weight is around 140lbs.

More info below.

Weighed:
179 pounds March 16, 2026
165.3 pounds October 14, 2026

Daily average Steps 2,949 last month

7 day average intake:
102 grams carbs
60 grams protein

Need advice from people who lost and mantained weight loss

I am 43F and I am curently 250lbs, 5ft 7. I need to lose around 70 to 80lbs. Over the last 10 15 years I just added slowly, I did lose some weight ....20lbs but gained it all back and than some more. I tried keto, low carb, high protein but nothing seams to work. I have a desk job , I dont move much, and do have 2 children in sports. I stay busy most of the time with work, kids and household chores. I do cook most days. I start my day with a protein coffee and I have 2 additional meals. It could be a sandwich and a hot meal at home. I do eat fruit, cheese and chocolate as snack. If you lost weight.... how did you do it? Men tend to lose weight easier so my question is more for women. Thank you all in advance!

Healthy Weight loss timeline

20F 5’ 4”. Little backstory, about 3 years ago I lost about 60 pounds way too fast and unhealthily. Obviously gained it all back because I lost the weight way too fast (about 8-10 months). Which obviously gaining back all the weight I had lost shot my confidence down.
This year I decided I wanted to loose it again but in a healthy way. I workout six days a week, eat healthier and am just more active in my daily life. Since July, I’ve lost about 24 lbs. Is this a healthy ish amount of weight loss for a short ish period of time? Around 4 months I’ve been on my weight loss journey now.
I was never morbidly obese or anything, started at 180 and now I’m down to 156. Obviously my biggest fear is gaining the weight back a second time, so please share opinions on the comments.
