Down 20 lbs but kinda scared

For reference I'm mid 30s female, 5'11 and was 287 as of April 10th. Went to a general check up today and was down to 266. Which should make me happy. But honestly I'm a little nervous.

Losing weight has historically been almost impossible for me. Not really sure why, doctors have never found a reason. Usually blood work is normal and my thyroid has been tested multiple times.

I have unconsciously made some changes; less soda, less dessert, smaller portions, and definitely moving more by just walking. These weren't concious choices, just not really feeling hungry or interested in food. I don't know if this is just anxiety talking or what.

I don't think I look all that different, I've gone down about one size which was why I don't think I noticed the weight loss.

I guess I just want verification that little changes can do That much. I have really severe health anxiety.

Starting My Weight Loss Journey

Hey everyone,

I am at the beginning of my weight loss journey and trying to learn as much as I can before deciding on a plan. My main goal is to reduce body fat and lose 10 kgs but in less than three months to improve my overall health and build habits that I can actually stick with long term.

While researching different options just wanna how people decide between them. If you were starting from scratch today, which option would you consider first and why and overall experiences?

I appreciate from people who have been through the process themselves.

Can we talk about cortisol, stress, and trauma?

Did any of you need to get away from stressful or toxic relationship or family dynamics before you could shed weight? I personally noticed a time in my life where I had a lot of space from one particular parental relationship, coincided with me being a healthier weight, without trying. This is what sparked the question.

Did any of you need to do something to improve your cortisol levels before the scale would budge? Quit coffee, regulate mood/sleep, end toxic patterns?

What really IS the role of cortisol in weight loss? Is it more important than people think?

I can never lose weight

hello!
Im 17F and currently on summer vacations. my whole life i’ve been Fat and i have always had unhealthy eating habits and a problem of binging foods along with not being very active.

Over the years I’ve tried counting calories and going to the gym but I’ve just never stayed consistent with it, quitting a couple of weeks in because i have no willpower. I really don’t want to spend any more of my life and I really wanna lose the weight but i can never do it

I will be getting a proper gym membership this July so Im hoping that helps but Im not very optimistic due to my many failures.I’m looking for advice and tips on how to stay consistent during weight loss and how to deal with cravings as thats what mainly causes me to fail

Currently my height is 5 feet 4inches
and my weight is 183 lbs
my dream weight is 120-130lbs

Walking pace and exercise

Today I hit 11 min/km through 10,7 km, 119 kg/178 cm, I was reading somewhere that 6km/hour should be max speed, because of injuries. I can definitely walk faster, should I tho?

I do not want to run because of knee stress, I walk with 1 leg on floor always, power-ish walking- true power walking can reach like 10 km/hour + and I cannot find fat people walking like that anywhere so I am not really sure about my goal, I am better at it with every step I take.

I also want to go down to like 7,5 km evening walk and buy a gym membership for body strength, if it will be possible, otherwise just because of the hot sun making impossible to walk with sunscreen on (i sweat a lot and the sunscreen washes away in 1st 10 mins) what workouts should I focus on for weight loss? Right now, never actually visited gym, I am thinking of a bit of walking for warm up then some squats, girl pushups and rowing, finish with stretching.

So proud of myself!! I’ve lost 10.6 lbs so far

So I started my weight loss journey the beginning of May. I had been not taking care of myself, drinking too much alcohol, drinking several sodas a day, eating out all the time. And I suddenly realized I had gained 30 pounds!

So I decided I needed to change that and get back on track and get my confidence back! I started tracking my calories and increasing my movement and I’m down from 144.4 to 133.8 as of this morning! I couldn’t be happier, my clothes are starting to fit better and my confidence is coming back. I don’t really have anyone to share my excitement with so thought I would share here!

I’ve given up with weight loss and I have just accepted being fat.

Hi all,

I’ve been overweight all of my adult life. I am 5”1 and weight 12 stone 12. I’ve always struggled with my weight have tried all of the slimming clubs and all of the diets going. Haven’t tried the jabs.

I don’t know what to do next , I just feel like I should just deal with the way I am , no matter how hard I try I just can’t lose the weight.

I lost weight when I was 18 but I lost two stone and then I put it back on within 2 years.

My highest weight was 13 stone 4 but I went down to 12 stone 12 in a year which isn’t good, this was done with a weight loss group.

Sorry for the rant, just feel like giving up and accepting it.
