Does anyone still feel the need to lose more or are disappointed after they have reached their goal weight?

Hi, I’m a kinda(?) long time lurker (since October of 2018 when I started my weight loss journey and lifestyle change). Literally an hour ago, I stepped on the scale and I’m at my goal weight. 135 (61.2kg). For reference, I am a 5’6” (170.6cm), 19 year old, female. It took about 8 months and some struggling in between to lose 30 pounds, but I’m finally here. I changed my eating habits (CICO definitely changed my mentality with food, and in general, I’m trying to eat cleaner, whole foods) and in March, decided to start exercising 5/6 times a week for an hour or more. But, I still don’t feel like it’s good enough. Maybe I need to tone my body now or maybe losing 5 more pounds wouldn’t hurt. I still feel kinda lost on what I’m supposed to do. I know now I have to maintain my weight and just keep doing what I’m doing. I also know logically that I have lost weight and I am healthier, but I still feel like the overweight girl I used to be. Has anyone else here struggled with this? I feel so alone right now even though I should be proud of myself.

TLDL; I still feel overweight even though I reached my goal weight. (Also, sorry if the formatting is weird, I’m on mobile.)

Did my feet shrink? Is that even possible?

I do a lot of walking (9km/day weather permitting) for fitness (not weight loss). Recently I switched from my winter hiking boots, which were purchased in December, so my summer hiking shoes which I bought about a year and 45 pounds ago). After a few walks my feet hurt like hell, which is not normal.

It seems to me all my shoes, including my hiking shoes, are really "loose" now. My toes are in the same place by I can, for example, curl my toes in them. My shoes are usually extra-wide and it occurred to me that maybe my feet got smaller as I lost weight and are now too big for me.

Does this make any sense? I'm used to replacing my shirts, pants, belts, etc., but I always thought of shoe size and hand size as pretty constant things.

Has anybody else who has lost a lot notice that they needed smaller shoes?

A quote I heard made the world of difference for me

Couple of years ago I heard on the radio (around the beginning of the year when everyone sets weight loss resolutions) the phrase "you can't outrun your fork". This hit me in a way that seriously opened my eyes to what I was ingesting and putting out. If I wasn't putting out 1000 plus calories a day in exercise, how could I justify eating that in one meal? Over time my efforts exceeded my intake and now I need to eat more than I could have imagined to keep up with my physical demands. My food choices have obviously become healthier over time, as eating garbage doesn't leave you satisfied or feeling well in general. From dieting at 1500 calories a day to needing to intake 3000+ to still lose weight and gain muscle is a serious change. Change your relationship with food and your life can become something you never imagined.

Keto advice please for newbie!None of my clothes fit me

Hi everyone! Newbie here

Here are my stats: Female 21 years old 5’3 160lb/72kg

So I have been on Keto for about 2 weeks now, and I haven’t seen any visible difference which I guess is to be expected. I kind of screwed up my first week I didn’t realise that an apple has 30g of carbs!

I’ve ordered Keto urine sticks to make sure I’m in Keto!

Anyway I weighed myself tonight and I was shocked that I weigh 160lb. I’m only 5’3 and I can’t believe I’m carrying so much weight. I remember being 140lb last year :( Anyway none of my clothes fit I can only really wear my workout stuff that is stretchy I don’t really have any money to buy new clothes. I just really needs some nice words right now I feel so shameful.

If anyone out their has advice for Keto and how to maximise weight loss I would really appreciate it.

After logging in my calories on MyFitnessPal I’ve had 1,102 calories today. 83g of fat 6g of carbs 75g of protein

I’ve looked at lists and eliminated all non Keto foods. One thing I’ve been doing which I’m planning to cut out is having a table spoon of olive oil in cooking. I guess I’ll just use a non stick pan.

Thank you so much in advance!

After you finish eating something really good. Remember.

It's okay to have that feeling of, "MAN! That was so good! I want more. I am already thinking of the next time I have it." That's natural. It's human nature to want to consume more of something very enjoyable. That doesn't mean you get more right then and there. That's how we all have gotten to where we are today. Overweight. Make it a routine. Have that comfort meal every other Friday instead of twice or three times in consecutive days. Have that candy bar once a week instead of every night. Enjoy your calorie dense banana split once a month. Find what works for you. You don't have to deprive yourself 100 percent of the time. You can enjoy life. Eventually when you get to your goal weight and you start loosening up the reins, you may have a higher chance of undoing everything you've done. Learn moderation now while you're working on your weight loss. It will make things much easier and you much happier.

I want you all to succeed. If you know you can't do this, then don't. Maybe you're not ready now. If you've been at this for a while and have been making progress, then you can try it. Just remember, you don't have to enjoy something to the point you're sick. There will be plenty for the next time and the time after that. They're not going to stop making it by the time you have it again. Good luck, Everyone.

Reached 70 pounds lost in half a year, but people still terrify me.

I started dieting towards the end of this year. I had been at a normal weight for most of my life until about 5 years ago when I got diagnosed with PCOS, was bedridden and depressed, and my weight spiraled out of control. Doing much better now, eating healthy, drinking lot of water and excercising at home.

I thought I was at a point with my weight loss where I would be comfortable joining a gym but I made the mistake of reading a trending post on Reddit about plus size clothing last night. You can imagine what the comments were like. Lots of vicious hatred for people who look like me. I don't want to join a gym and get mocked like the people in that comments section did. And I'm even more terrified about going on a walk or run and someone making animal noises at me. It makes me depressed that even if I lead a good lifestyle people still hate me and think I'm disgusting because I'm not attractive and thin. And that people are assuming so many horrible things about me.

How do I get over this? Has anyone else struggled with these fears?
