Good luck in 2019!

M 5’11, SW 286 CW 233 GW 190.

My entire life I was always overweight, I’ve hated the way I look for far too long and decided a while ago it was time for change. So I began my weight loss journey. Sure I have my days where I eat an entire medium pizza or drink 6 beers. But that hasn’t stopped me and I’ve still managed to make up for those cheat days.

With the new year approaching I just wanted to wish everyone good luck with their goals for the upcoming year! Weight loss is a very simple thing that tends to get over complicated. Wether it be healthier eating habits or a new gym membership, you got this and don’t give up!

When you finally do it and you still don’t believe it [Progress pics, 215 > 155]

Hi! I’ve been a member of this community for years and finally somehow managed to actually lose weight in 2018.

I started eating keto full time in January and added in intermittent fasting (16/8) in June. I went to the gym about 3x a week in spring and 5x a week in summer with 600 calorie workout session goals. I started keto in 2012 and followed it off and on but didn’t see any major results until this year.

I saw the biggest change between June - August and have been stalled since September. It is a lot harder to lose weight being a similar size to most of my friends if not one of the slimmer ones in a given situation. I still want to lose 30 lbs (to hold steady at 135) and tone up but that will be a 2019 project.

Keto did me a world of good. I have had constant stomach problems my entire life and when I follow a strict low carb diet they disappear. I also have a huge problem with binge eating that feels more controlled when I’m eating low carb. I haven’t gotten control of my cheats and hope to work on those going forward.

I have a little bit of body dysmorphia and feel the same as I did at the higher weight. I constantly put together comparison pictures because it is the only way that I can see my weight loss.

A few of my faves are here: pics pics pics my fave is the calves.

If you have questions send them my way! I’m going to be traveling but I’ll try to answer.

How do I convince myself to lose weight and become a healthier person when all I want to do is just eat?? also looking for a weight loss partner to keep me in check

Recently after a physical, my parents are concerned with my weight and forcing me to lose weight and basically making me exercise with them and controlling my diet. But I don’t want to. I know that I am overweight and I want to lose weight sometime but I don’t feel like it. I’m trying to force myself to accept it and just do it but then I end up I either binge watch Tasty videos which effects for my work or become super hungry and overeat. Even thought I am at risk for diabetes or high cholesterol, I still feeling like I don’t care and want to stuffy my mouth with anything I can get. How can slowly change my attitude towards my weight and health and what can I do to overcome these obstacles? How should I start this journey and what diets or exercise routines should I do? Btw I am 17 @ 165 lb

Scared of the extra skin that comes with weight loss

I'm sure I'm not the only one but the excess skin and how my boobs will change after weight loss is something that terrifies me. It's superficial and idiotic but I can't get rid of how I worry about it and I know these thoughts hold me back with my progress. So far I've lost 33 lbs and I don't really see a difference but I can tell some of my clothes fit better or are big now which is exciting. Any advice on how to get over being terrified of excess skin/changes in breast?

For reference my highest weight was 275 and I'm now 242. I'm only 5'5. I don't know my goal weight because I've never been at a weight that I can distinctly remember feeling happy/comfortable so I'm just going to keep losing till I'm at a happy/comfortable weight.

30/f/5'3" 220 --> 169 lb (51 lb lost in 16 months) and NSV (My boobs still look nice - just needed new bras!)

Hi r/loseit! First, thank you! You've really helped me with my health journey and I've been appreciative for this resource and wealth of knowledge.

I have lost 50 lbs over the past 16 months and am still working toward my UGW.

Though I still have more that I want to do, I have been trying to learn how to cultivate gratitude for the progress I *have* made and the lessons that I have learned. (One example? I am making progress less quickly than I would have originally wished. However, I am trying to build habits so that weight loss and good health is something that I can sustainably maintain in the future. I've found that bad days or weeks have been learning opportunities for me to identify triggers and then allowed me to build new, better habits.)

As I've lost weight, I struggled (for the most part) to notice a difference in the mirror or when comparing vs. old photos. One place that I have noticed a difference?! My boobs! They've looked so funny in my bras and I thought that they became an odd shape and disproportionately smaller in comparison to the rest of my body.

Well... you know what? Today, I decided to finally measure my bust to see what my bra size *should* be. I discovered that my cup size is the same - I am just wearing a bra that is now far too large! (42/44DD --> 38DD) I then went to Victoria Secret to buy new bras and the specialist verified my new size. I now have 3 new bras and they fit MUCH, MUCH better.

Photos for comparison (including progress pics from last year): https://imgur.com/a/GrHuNEC. FYI - NSFW.

Another great thing? Now that I've put together my progress photos, I can finally see a bit of a difference on the rest of my body too. (Hoping my mind catches up as I continue.) :)

Speed ≠ success

I have been on my weight loss journey for almost 365 days (1 year in 4 days!). Since the beginning of November I have been really relaxed with my eating and exercise, but im happy to say these have been maintenance months, no weight gained, even with horrid eating! I started going back to the gym and counting a cals again the day after Christmas, and to get motivated I like watching fitness gurus, and weight loss stories on youtube. Going into all the new slew of videos I haven't been watching for months i've noticed a trend that was starting to make me second guess my progress; there are so many videos now where people losing TONS of weight in a very short amount of time. I'm no stranger to "100 pounds in 1 year", that success I'm used to seeing in inspirational videos, but there are people you have supposedly lost 50 pounds in 5 months and 10 pounds every 2 weeks and I'm just.... wishing I had that luck....But also I know I should be proud of what I've accomplished so far. This year I have lost 50 pounds, and I've proven to myself that the current weight I'm at is maintainable! I just wish that there was someone making a video about how it took them 2 years to finally get to their goal weight, or just someone telling us that its ok to go slower. So I felt compelled to make this post; just because you're not where you thought you would be at this stage of your journey doesn't mean that your progress isn't good enough, and I hope you keep going into 2019, cause I know I am! WOO, that was cheesy as fuck
