What has ACTUALLY worked for you?

Everyone has their opinions on how to tackle weight loss - calorie counting, keto, intermittent fasting, you name it... what has been the most effective for you, how much did you lose, over what time frame and (very important!) did you keep it off?

As an example - the best results I’ve ever seen was when all I did was either walk or jog for 1-2 hours a day along with just trying to eat less (not necessarily healthier... just cutting my portion size), I lost ~50 pounds and have gained back about 25 lbs.

Everyone argues for one approach or another... I just want to see if there are any consistencies between people who have actually achieved what I hope to achieve.

NSV: First cheat meal in 121 days, didn't feel guilty

So last night I went out to celebrate handing in my last piece of assessment to complete my undergrad degree. This is my 17th week of weight loss and I've managed to drop 31kg, and at first I was really hesitant to sway from my diet but this was one of the few things that deserved a celebration.

​

Ended up having a truffle chicken burger and some loaded bbq beef fries. Was still the only thing I ate that day, so I think I may have even stayed under my 1500 calorie limit! My TDEE recommends 3278 so either way it shouldn't matter too much. The scales might not move this week, but hell, that could just be from all the extra salt.

​

Time moves regardless, and one bad meal means nothing over such a long time. Cheat days are okay, even though you want to deny yourself until you're happy with looking at yourself in the mirror. Sometimes you don't always like what you see. that the hard work doesn't seem to be helping too much, but plateaus happen. The thing is, sometimes it's hard to say yes when you've been doing so well for so long, but its good to take a break, even for a day.

Coke Zero

Hows it going everyone, I have a quick question for all of you awesome people.

In your personal experience, has Coke Zero stalled your weight loss? I've been drinking these suckers whenever I get a craving for sweets and so far it hasn't shown any impacts on weight loss. However, I keep seeing articles that are stating "any diet drink is bad for you blah blah blah". I've been eating a ton better now that I'm home from college and have already seen the results. I'm starting to workout like I did back in high school so I'm off to a really great start. Anyway, Being that Coke Zero has been the only alternative to combatting any cravings I get, it would mean a ton to have some personal experiences with Coke Zero. If you need any background I'm a 20 year old male that is 5'10 and 242 pounds (down 10 lbs in 17 days so again, doing great so far!) Anyway, thanks for taking the time for providing any input. I really appreciate it!

Going to Disney in 362 days. I'm the fattest I have ever been

Hi there, Long time lurker, weight loss failure several times. My parents surprised my family with a trip to Disney almost a year from now. I'm the fattest I have ever been. 33 year old full time dad. 345 lbs. This isn't the first trip to Disney with my family and our children, but dang do I not want to be fat in Disney again.

Since my divorce I thought I was going to lose weight and get in shape to one up my X. It was the other way around. She lost all the weight and one upped me. Because I was the food enabler. It's hard to admit, but when she didn't have my income to eat or me getting it she lost weight.

Now I'm at 345. 3 4 5. Gross. I hate my body, my joints hate me, work is hard becuase I have to stand all day and put 3 4 5 lbs on my knees. I have a sports car I don't drive becuase getting in a out whilr being fat sucks.

I keep seeing success stories about losing weight in a year. If I was able to lose 100lb in a year I would be so happy. I haven't been 245 lbs in a decade probably. Lowest I ever got to was 200 Taking a pill that is no longer made.

So here's to hopefully starting and staying on track this time. Just doing cico at 1200 to 1500ish calories a day. 2lb a week x 52 weeks is 104. How hard can it be?

Hopefully I can get out of my own head and this depression type feeling and kick this in the butt.

I thank myself every day that I made the decision to start

Weight loss/fitness progress is something that money can't buy. There are probably out of shape millionaires out there who would give insane amounts of money if they could get a fit body instantly. Everybody is equal when it comes to that, it only takes time and determination. It is also quite simple - you eat less and train more, everybody understands what they have to do in general, but most people don't have the determination to actually do it. Having a fit body is really something that has huge value in your life and something you should be proud of, it is much easier to be out of shape.

Every single day since I made the decision to transform my body 5 months ago feels like an accomplishment. And I know that 5 months of hard work is already behind me, I don't have to go through that again, and that's why I know that I will not fall of the rails once I achieve my goal body, because I never want to go through that again. It is much easier to maintain than to transform. So I thank myself that I made the decision 5 months ago because now I am enjoying the fruits of it instead of having to start from zero all over again. Altho it will always require that you put in work, I still have days when I want to skip training, I still have cravings, I still want to party but I have learned to do that in moderation too.

I have managed to force myself to train and not to cave in to cravings, it does get easier with time but laziness/cravings will never completely disappear, you will always have to fight them. At the end of the day, having a fit body IS WORTH IT, 100%, it is something that you will enjoy for the rest of your life instead of enjoying short term dopamine boosts, and you never have to be embarassed about your body or worry about your health either. I also feel like I owe it to myself, to look the way that god intended me to be, instead of being an out of shape piece of meat, bones and fat.

Does cellulite really not go away?

5’10”, 178 lbs here. I used to be 155 and my heaviest was 189, so I packed some on. In that, I ended up with cellulite on my thighs (front and back).

I’m really self conscious about it and am hoping that with more weight loss, it’s going to diminish. However, I just looked it up recently and the Mayo Clinic states that once you get it — that’s it. Fat cells are there for life.

I know the Mayo Clinic is very official and all, but I’m more of an experience person. Can anyone who was either similar stats or put on 30+ lbs/gained cellulite share your experience with it post weight loss? Like did it become less noticeable, or smoother, or is it really how the Mayo Clinic’s research say it is?

Also, if you did experience it going down, will you share what moves you thought helped? If there’s nothing specific, that’s cool.

And if I have to start coping with the fact that I’ll now always have cellulite, well, that’s not really cool, but better now than later.

I’m currently doing Jillian Michaels 21 minute HIIT videos and cardio, but am starting to incorporate more strength moves after the videos, so any specific leg exercise recommendations for targeting cellulite (even if it just goes down a little) would be appreciated!
