Workplace motivation

On July 1st my manager went on a leave for two weeks. It was also when I started a consistent 1300 calorie meal plan, introduced more physical activity into my life and generally committed to a healthier lifestyle and weight loss.

The manager came back today and while we had a quick chat he was looking at my face intently. Finally, he asked "Sorry, but did you lose some weight?"

I am pretty sure my smile could light up the whole city at that moment :) he proceeded to tell me that he was confused because my face looked positively different, he thought maybe I changed something with my hair but now he's sure it's the weight.

So much motivation! I lost almost 3 kilograms during those two weeks and my goal is to go from 73.8 to ~ 60. I feel so much stronger now.

Did you receive any compliments about your weight loss recently? :)

Looking for disordered eating documentary series

I watched this documentary series (about 6 episodes I think) a couple of years ago on Netflix. It has since been deleted and I can't remember the name for the life of me, nor find it online.

It was about a wellness center in America somewhere, for people with disordered eating. I think maybe one had bullimia, there were a few with over eating. I really enjoyed it because it addressed the reasons behind their disordered eating with psychotherapy, and not just putting them on strict weight loss diets. There was only one season.

Can anyone please help me identify what this series was?! I'd really like to re-watch it.

Thanks!

How did you set realistic weight loss goals?

Just weighed in today, I never weigh myself because I tend to beat myself up over the scale number but I felt like it was time for a weigh in due to my progress.

I lost 8 pounds in a month, which I know is great! I started this journey a month ago. 8 pounds lost is better than staying at my current weight which was 198, and now I am 190.

I know weight loss is slow and steady but despite this progress, I was hoping I’d lose a little more than 8 pounds. People I know have been commenting saying I look like I’m slimming down. So I expected I lost a little more, around 12 pounds? I don’t know.

I am so proud of my progress, yet I can’t help but be a little defeated as I thought I’d lose over 10 pounds. How do you set reasonable weight loss goals for yourself without feeling defeated? Or should I stop relying on the number and go by how I feel?

Weight loss vegan diet

I’m coming out of a 3 year battle with advanced Lyme disease. It caused me to gain about 25 lbs due to many factors. One of them being inactivity. I went from someone that went to the gym and practiced daily yoga to nothing. I’ve gotten about 80% of myself back and am back at the gym. My problem is I’m not losing weight that would of normally come off before my illness. I have a lot of diet restrictions from being sick also. I would like to lose about 10-15lbs to feel like I look like myself again. Yet I can’t eat dairy, soy, eggs, or gluten. (I developed sensitivities to these foods) I used to be vegetarian but because of the restrictions I have brought chicken and fish into my diet, though I prefer not to eat them. Does anyone have any recommendations to feel full and to lose weight with my limitations?

Just entered a weight loss competition with my friends, most weight lost gets $400.

Hey loseit fam,

As the title says, we are officially beginning on July 25th. It is four of us and three of us live together. The reason for the delay is so we can rid our non healthy food from our home before we start.

We created a “contract” lol. During the duration of the contest, if any one gives up, they owe the other three $50. The duration is four months from that date.

I just had a minimally invasive surgery to remove a cyst a few weeks ago and my doctor just cleared me and says I am fully healed.

I have access to a full gym, I work an office job and can eat at my desk (snack).

It’s going to definitely be interesting because I weigh 445, one friend weighs 300, my boyfriend weighs 250, my other friend weighs 315.

I am hoping to get any tips, tricks, advice, anything to purchase to make life easier. Etc.

Where do I start?

I’m a 19yr old, 6ft tall, 280 pound man who’s been overweight my entire life. In the past my weight didn’t bother me to much. As of late though I’m getting sick of of looking at myself everyday the way I am. I know things like this take a long time but, I’m prepared to really dedicate myself to a weight loss journey. I’m in need of some advice, I’m not entirely sure where to start.

Due to my current living situation I’m at least an hour away from a gym and I don’t have the money to make that commute or to afford a gym membership.

I’d really appreciate and advice on where I should start on this journey. Thank you for giving me the time of day.
