This time is different

So i've tried to lose weight many times ( one times was successful, lost 20kg) and i'm trying again since last monday. I dont know why but this time is different. I have the habit of planing my unhealthy meals whenever my parents arent home, i feel embarassed doing it when they're present. Its like this: "mom leaves at 7am so i can stand up and put chicken wings into the oven" and its was a REALLY bad habit. But this time is different, i dont crave unhealthy food and the habit was gone within a couple of days. Whats changed? I still miss greasy food a bit but its controllable.

​

When i lost weight the first time (the mentioned 20kg) i was a completly different person. My stance on challenges was comepletly different, then it was like "i will crush this thing and it will make me stronger", i was alot happier and my mom was really happy. When i gained it all back i was really whiny about alot and didnt want to do anything.

​

I hope this time really is different and i can become myself again. Im currently 117kg and my lowest was 79kg. I want to hit that again (maybe a bit higher since im taller then). I started last monday and i've lost 6kg since then and the fast weight loss has stagnated a bit but im okay with that. I hope i can become myself again.

​

I eat one boiled egg and some vegetables for breakfast. Lunch is chicken breast (not sure how much but probably around 100g) and vegetables. Dinner is sometimes a fruit salad containg an apple, a banana and an orange. Or a salad containing a tomato, some slices of a cucumber and a bit of iceberg salad.

MyFitnessPal says im not eating enough but i always feel full after a meal and im not thaaaat hungry inbetween meals and in the night. Am i doing it right?

​

Thank you for reading.

I'm absolutely starving!!!

23, F, 5"1 SW:156lb CW: 133lb GW: 122lb

So I've been losing weight with CICO for 2 months now and as my loss has started to slow down I've changed from 1300 to 1200 calories a day this last week... When I was on 1300 calories I missed some junk food emotionally but never actually felt physically hungry despite my pre weight loss daily calories likely totalling 3000.

Now I've switched to 1200 calories I'm genuinely famished, my stomach is growling very loudly all day everyday, Im tired and lightheaded... Eating 1200 calories should be plenty for my height/weight and still only allow me to lose 1lb a week, according to every reputable source I can find, but this level of hunger feels dangerous, could it be?

For the record I'm not doing any real exercise at all, I haven't from the start, so it's not that.

Any guidance much appreciated, really hitting a wall here!

Reached my goal weight, but I'm still not happy.

Hey everyone! I'm a 5 feet and 3/4 inch woman and I'm finally 120 lbs. I thought I might be happy at this weight, but unfortunately I'm less than enthused. Even though I lost weight I feel like I look fatter? I'm currently a size 4, but I tried on my size 2 jeans today and they actually closed! They fit a little tight, but I'm sure with another 5 or 10 pound weight loss they'll fit perfectly. I'm still debating on whether I should set my long term weight goal to 110 lbs or maybe even 100 lbs? Would 100 pounds be too drastic? Also I'm going on vacation this Thursday and need some advice on how to avoid gaining weight while I'm on my 8 day long trip. I feel like weight gain during vacations is really common and I don't wanna lose my progress. I'm determined to feel confident enough to stop wearing baggy t-shirts and to start wearing my old clothes again. Any advice and personal experience is welcome!

I'm tired of giving myself excuses..

This is my second post to Reddit, so hopefully this is done properly. I'm making this post to finally be accountable and hopefully find the strength and support I'm clearly needing. I've tried sooo many times to start weight loss and to keep it off with no lasting results. I struggle to find stores that have clothes that fit and now with the news of Dressbarn shutting it's doors, this was the final straw. I'm tired of using excuses for being the size I am. I am ready to be committed and to be strong to hit my goal. I have one year until my SIL's destination wedding and I'm going to work hard to get where I want to be by then. If anyone has any tips to not lose determination or to stop the never ending "slowly gets lenient", please let me know! Thanks for reading my post and stay strong to anyone who is like me and has zero willpower but wants that to change! :)

Sick and tired

Sick and tired of being sick and tired. I suffer mental illness and some other pressing health concerns and I'm so dam tired of feeling like crap. I eat like once daily..the last few months I really only get outta bed less than two hours a day. I don't wanna be like this. I'm 5'7" 197lbs bmi is like 30.9 waist is 45" hips at 44". Legs are 25" I've done the weight loss before in my early 20s went from 220 down to 150. Between 150-160 is my goal. I'm sure its doable but now in my early 30s and two more kids I'm a little worried if I don't shake the weight now I might never. So for the next little while I am going to post/creep this sub often and try and keep motivated. If anyone has suggestions or encouraging words they'd be greatly appreciated.

advice for weight loss (binge eater, carb and sugar addict)

17/F/5’4/168 lbs

I previously went down to 150lbs but gained back all the weight and more. Here’s a little bit about me:

• Obsessed with bread, cakes, cupcakes, brownies, cookies.
• Binge eater on carbs (list above mostly), I also binge on anything that’s there.
• Lost weight going to a dietician but I can’t stay on track anymore (gained the weight back)
• Constantly thinking of food, what to eat NOW
• I’ve tracked my calories and macros before but I got so bored and stopped

My options: - See a new dietician (it’s quite expensive tho) - Cut gluten and sugar out (here is where it becomes tricky because I don’t wanna restrict which could lead to binging) - Following a diet from some fitness person

Idk any other options so I’m posting this so if anyone has struggled with this before to give me options. I’m willing to try anything again. I also have problems with staying consistent. I know that I have to follow a diet that I can stay consistent with but I don’t know which!Please give any advice, thank u!!!

Now it’s Ramadan so I’m fasting and I tend to overeat so much at night even if I’m going to explode but I can stop myself sometimes.

Challenges of losing weight post partum

After a year and a half losing 50 pounds on CICO 1200 calorie diet, I became pregnant with my 2nd. I am 3 mo post partum now, and have balanced out having "only" gained 15 pounds (I actually gained about 30 but most of that is baby/uterus/blood and dropped quickly after birth).

I tried to get back on CICO with a 1450 calorie goal (going lower affected my breast milk supply) at approx 6 weeks pp and did wonderfully for 2 weeks until all hell broke loose. I'm exceedingly tired and have lost literally all motivation.

Ive lost so much motivation that it wouldn't surprise me if I gained at this point. I try just logging things in and I even can barely do that reliably. I try taking long walks but I just wanna sleep.

I know it's "only" 15 pounds but I feel so unattractive and tired. I have no clothes that fit. I gotta get my butt going on this weight loss - I just feel so much better when I eat healthy. But my body is so tired I just want cookies now and Fark it all I don't care.

There was some PPD going on which I think cleared up but I wonder if that has something to do with it?

I'm just SO unmotivated. Any help here?
