Life can still happen, don't get discouraged.

I'm been working on my weight since the start of the year, I started off at 300lbs and have been on a steady path down. My job is physical so I wanted to be sure I was getting what I needed and still able to burn fat, while there been a few bumps I've been taking off a pound or so a week and it takes off and I feel good. While no weight loss is a straight line I've been so happy with the progress. I'm down to 253 and when I started I bought a belt that had notches all the way around so I could use it the whole time and have another metric, I started on notch 3 and am now on notch 9. I wasn't planning on making a post about it until the end of the year. Now to the title, last Friday my father went to the hospital and do to the current locations of the rest of my family I was the only one who could be there when needed, between the stress lack of sleep and just eating what I could when I could I'm up 6lbs. My dad is home and now it's time to get back to work, there is a good chance old me would have used this as an excuse to give up. As much physical work it takes to get healthy the biggest hurdle in my opinion is mental, we can be both our worst critic and best support. When we get knock down we pick ourselves back up and keep moving forward (I think that was from Rocky). Am I bummed about the set back? Sure but I'm not done yet.

Weight loss & optimizing muscle mass (6'0" / 1m83, 365 lbs / 166kg): 100% Cardio or Lifting + Cardio?

Hi everyone!

​I'm a 25M, 1m83 (6'0") and 166kg (365 lbs). My goal is to lose weight while keeping, or even optimizing, my muscle mass (I naturally have a pretty "bulky" build). I'm managing my calorie intake, but I want to optimize my fat loss through the gym.

​I've been going to the gym for a month now, and I keep hearing two completely opposite things:

​100% Cardio: I've been told to avoid weightlifting entirely. Because in a deficit, my body will burn both fat AND muscle, ruining my frame.

​Heavy Lifting + Light Cardio (5-10 min): I was told that muscle requires more energy at rest. By building strength, my body will hold onto the muscle and target the fat instead.

​Personally, I'm leaning towards the 2nd option. Since I have a busy schedule, I go to the gym twice a week and use guided machines. Right now, I'm doing a Full Body split like this:

​Day 1: Push focus (Chest, shoulders, triceps, quads).

​Day 2: Pull focus (Back, rear delts, biceps, hamstrings).

​End of each session: 5-10 mins of light cardio.

​What are your thoughts on this? Do you have any tips or advice to help me properly set up and optimize my workout plan?

​Thanks in advance!

Weight loss + cutting down on drinking

Does anyone else find it difficult to control their weight when they stop drinking alcohol regularly?

First off, a little context. I was overweight from when I was a toddler and got gradually fatter until I was about 20, when I started eating better and exercising and lost a huge amount of weight in a short time.

I've never been what I would call a problem drinker (never tempted to drink when I have stuff to do the next day) but I did used to get riggidy-wrecked when I went out, 2-3 times a month and be a hungover mess the next day.

I cut down on drinking 2 years ago (only go out once every few weeks) and since then it's been a battle to keep the weight off. I find this very strange because, doing the maths, I'm consuming less calories than before, while still hitting the gym and eating more home-cooked meals.

Loose skin 16m

Hi so I’m 16 and I started my weight loss journey in I’d say ehhhh about October 2025maybe I lost alot of weight about 115lbs and I’m left with loose skin.
So I fall into the moderate category I have like a u shape of skin at the bottom of my torso and my whole body is kinda just stretchy.

My lowest weight was this augest at 150lbs I’ve been lean bulking since then trying to put on Muscle and it has been working to a certain degree I was fat from about 8-16 so a span of 8 years how meaningfully will my skin improve? If there’s anyone that was in a similar situation please let me know.

Cause it stops me from living my life and as sad as that sounds it’s true I have a very hard time with mental health from it and sadly my height is capped off since I’m Tanner stage 5 so I can’t grow any more in hopes to stretch tighter across my skin.

Any advice is appreciated.

21F, 165 cm, 65 kg — why is losing the last few kilos so frustrating when I’m already active and eating high protein?

I’m 21F, 165 cm (5’5”) and currently around 65 kg (143 lbs). My goal is around 60–62 kg, but more importantly I want to look leaner while keeping or growing my glutes.
I’ve been trying to lose weight for quite a while. I’ve previously gotten down to around 60 kg, but slowly gained some of it back.
Here’s my situation:
I aim for around 1,500 calories a day, although my actual intake varies.
I try to get 80–100 g of protein daily.
I often get 10–18k steps, use a walking pad, StairMaster or elliptical.
I also do glute exercises like Bulgarian split squats, hip abductions and cable kickbacks.
I’ve had periods where I wasn’t consistent with strength training but stayed active.
What confuses me is that my body sometimes looks noticeably different without much change on the scale. Recently, people have even commented that my glutes look bigger, despite me not training them consistently.
I feel like I’m constantly switching between wanting to lose weight quickly and wanting to build muscle, and I don’t know how to balance both.
For other petite women who successfully lost fat while maintaining their curves:
Did you focus on weight loss first or body recomposition?
How did you know whether you were actually in a calorie deficit?
Did increasing strength training make a bigger difference than cardio?
How did you stop obsessing over small weight fluctuations?
I’d really appreciate advice from women with similar starting measurements.

Is anyone else embarrassed to talk about their weight loss?

Over the course of 2025 I lost about 50lbs by eating high protein, tracking macros, and working out. Gained a few lbs from my lowest weight since then as life happens, but I have consistently maintained a 19-20bmi since it was a whole lifestyle overhaul. I'm proud of the work I put in, and even more than the weight loss I am proud of myself for developing a healthy relationship with food and exercise. I like my body and I love taking care of it.

I didn't tell anyone what I was doing at any point, I just did it. It was awesome finding a new hobby in weightlifting and seeing the results of my work, but it just feels so uncomfortable to have other people notice. A few family members/friends have commented on it and I never know what to say. It honestly just makes me wish I was invisible.

Has anyone else dealt with this, where you're happy with your body and lifestyle, but just wish other people wouldn't notice anything changed?
