I'm not complaining, but anyone else have..

Hi all! 28 yr old female here. I'm 5'3.

So I was dumped earlier this year. In February, I was 140 lbs. After the breakup, I jumped up to 203 as of September 1st. I handled it pretty bad by eating fast food almost every single day, twice a day. I finally decided I'm done feeling sorry for myself. Since the 1st, have been counting calories, working out twice a day and replaced my empty caloric coffees with matcha or black tea(no sugar or sweetener.) I've had a trainer in the past, so I'm using the meal plans he'd make for me while I was his client. I decided that I'd eat 1200 calories.

I'd wake up and walk on my treadmill for 40 minutes and at night, I'd jog/walk around my neighborhood for an hour.

I ended the week 1 weighing 201. I was slightly bummed because I figured the first week you lose mostly water weight, so the first week would be a higher number. I went from eating roughly 4000 calories a day to 1200 so I thought I'd shed a lot of water weight initially, especially since I'm significantly overweight. Then, week 2, I weighed myself and I was 198. And as of today, I'm 197.

Is this normal? A slow first couple of weeks? I know after a few weeks, the weight loss slows down significantly, but I wasn't expecting a slow start either. I'm still highly motivated and I have gotten into a routine of working out first thing in the morning so I do feel like I have more energy than when I first started.

Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining! I am happy that I'm feeling more energy but in the past, usually the first week of working out I lose a good amount of water weight the first week.

One of the hardest thing’s I’ve dealt with on my weight loss journey is still self-image.

I’ve been an overweight guy for my ENTIRE life. Just thought that’s how I was gonna be forever, even though I hated it. I was used to it, still am tbh. I’ve lost 48lbs in the last 7 months & 67lbs in the last 3+ years. At my highest I was 232 and now I’m at 165. It’s weird, and it hasn’t clicked in my head yet that this is how I look. I think it has to due with the majority of my weight being dropped in such a short amount of time. I’m proud of myself for sure, it’s just hard not to see myself as that fat, unhealthy guy I’ve always been, regardless of how many compliments I get. All I know is I gotta keep on keepin’ on no matter what. Same with all of y’all. It’s tough but it’s better than being fat and tough.

A lot of people probably don't comment on your weight loss because they really don't pay that much attention to your body.

Was chatting with a friend today who I think might have lost quite a bit of weight, but I really can't be sure at all. We see each other about once a month or so, and I'm only wondering because I know she was on a low carb diet last summer. I feel like maybe I think she used to be a lot bigger than she is now, but I don't carry a mental catalogue of my friend's bodies. She quite possibly could have lost 100 pounds or more, but how she looked last year is really not fixed in my mind - why would it be?

The point here is that she might feel hurt that nobody has commented, but there is no way on gods green earth that I am going to comment until she has lost 200+ pounds (again, not got a mental encyclopedia of weight equating to a person's shape, just a general, vague sense) because I am not ever ever ever going to embarrass my friend, and if I ask if she has lost weight I will be saying "wow, in my head you are reeeeeeaaaaally fat, way fatter than you are now". And if she hasn't lost weight that would be so, so, awful and rude and hurtful.

So don't lose hope if people aren't commenting, it's not because we don't love you, but that we do love you and don't spend our days analysing your body, plus we don't want to hurt your feelings.

What the Foot! I Hurt My Foot and the Internets Aren’t Magic

I hurt my foot! Help!! Seriously… I need help because I was trying to diagnose myself and the most common foot injuries dominate the Dr. Google search results. But I have different symptoms so that wasn’t helpful. First let’s take a step back – um, I mean limp back… to when the pain started, how […]

Major Milestone - 105lbs loss so far, another 30lbs or so to lose! However I'm proud I can get into children's hoodies now. [photos included]

It's been about a year and a half journey so far, but I'm so proud of how far I've come with my weight loss! I was about 285lbs at my biggest, but being 5 foot 2, it means that I look far far heavier then that.

It's been abit tough, what with my disability, I've have EDS, So it's alittle hard for me to push myself to keep going sometimes and is super painful as well.. but my walker helps with that.

I still have alittle bit more to go however, I think another 30lbs should do.

I've done it mostly via calories control, and recently I've begun IF and Calorie counting.

I found a way to not have to count calories anymore

Start weight: 260lbs Current weight: 182 Height: 5'8" 21M

I've lost almost 80lbs counting calories but I end up obsessing over the numbers. It causes a decline in my mental health. Recently I found a way to not have to count calories.

For two of my meals a day I eat:

two cups of vegetables(At least one is low calorie like broccoli, cauliflower, celery, zucchini)

one cup of protein

.5 cups of complex carbs

For the other meal I give myself a little more leeway but still try to keep it healthy. I've lost two pounds in about a week and I feel like a huge mental weight is gone.

I started walking a mile to 2 miles a day. Most of my weight loss so far has only been from diet.
