Thank you so much!!

I'm one month into losing weight after gaining some having 4 surgeries during 2 years and not being able to move as much as I wanted or being able to work out. Also, I was home a lot, not having much to do besides healing, so I ate more, especially during barbecue time. Guilty pleasures... I started taking up working out a month ago (3 times per week) and was instantly motivated to also watch what and especially how much I eat. I've since lost 4 pounds, but would NEVER have made it without all the otivation from the sub.

Thank you to the woman that posted about how much her cycle influences her weight loss. It kept me from "eating all the things in anger" while the scale would't budge in two weeks. YOU were my lifesaver.

Thank you to all the people posting progress pics, you kept me blieving in myself and envisaging what I could look like in a few months.

Thank you for the stories that motivated me to continue to watch my calorie intake and not have a cheat day 4 times a week. Thank you for giving me the motivation to keep working out.

I know I'm just a month in, but after seeing and feeling the results after such a short time, I really can't stop on my way to a healtier, stronger me.

Thank you so much!!

Imposter syndrome and weight loss?

No idea how to explain this but I’ll try.

I have lost about 10 kg since july. I have been working out 6-7 days a week and been doing IF/omad. But it all feels.. fake somehow. Like it’s a dream and I’ll wake up and the scale will show a 10kg gain. Or that diets are supposed to be difficult and a test of discipline. I know logically the best thing is to find something you can do forever, which is if/omad for me. I have no idea how to explain it.

What inspired me to post this was me checking my bmi and putting my new weight in. It feels like I’m lying to the website somehow. Is this something everyone goes through?

no visible results, weight loss when will results be visible?

Hi so i lost about 10kg ( for Americans that's about 23 pounds ) this happened from july till two weeks back, so about 3 months. But the problem is that the result isn't at all visible, i fit in the same type of clothes and i myself haven't seen any change in appearance, and my family and friends haven't either. This sucks because it feels kinda shitty you know? Like it feels like it was all kinds useless but who knows. i'm a male 166cm (5'4), currently weighing 75 kg. (165 pounds)

So I went from 85kg to 75 kg ( 165pounds to 188 pounds)

So my question is why isn't my result visible and when will it be? My current goal weight is 62 kg so i hope that it'll be visible by then.

( Sorry if i messed up the pounds bit, not from america so just using Google to convert kg to pounds )

Starting out and already frustrated

Hey. So the post title basically sums everything up, but here’s a little more information too.

I’m tired of being overweight. I decided to start being more cognizant of portion sizes, calories I’m eating, and doing things like cutting out soda. I’m using MyFitnessPal to track what I eat because I like to keep records.

I have a heart condition and a joint (simplified explanation) condition that make it so that I can’t exercise enough to make any difference with weight loss.

Basically, I’m already frustrated and feel stuck. Is this just one of those “suck it up and keep going” things? Or does anyone have advice? I don’t want to give up, but I do get discouraged easily, and I’d love any advice anyone could give. Thanks 💚

Foot Pain for Runners – Tips & Resources for Training Injuries

I hurt my foot!! And when I asked Dr. Googs what my symptoms might be it provided a list of potential diagnosis that didn’t apply to my symptoms or health history. It did scare me with a few potential causes of the pain that are serious medical conditions. (So in addition to foot pain I […]

People's reactions to your weight loss/gain?

I am just curious to hear from people about family/friends/society's reaction to your weight gain or loss? I always hear about how you are treated better when you look good and I believe it. When I lost weight before and when my acne cleared up or even days where I have a stylish outfit on, I noticed how I was treated with positivity and respect.

But when I gained it back (and more) and my acne due to PCOS began to officially flare up worse than ever, I noticed how people are very dismissive and rude at times. I remember one night out, a group of guys walked past my friends and shouted out in the air "FAT!" not directly at me but near us and realistically I was the only heavy one there. I never felt so embarrassed and shocked that this stranger would humiliate me in front of my friends.

I have had people stare at me and give dirty looks to me. Nobody is really interested in talking to me, guys are very aloof if they are stuck talking to me for whatever reason. I always feel unwelcome going into shops, maybe because of how I look that they find me suspicious as it doesn't help that I feel very nervous and self-conscious going to places with looking the way I am now. I could give more examples but I am too fatigued at the moment, so I'll end it here.

Just wanted to know if anyone has any stories themselves over people's perception of them when they gained or lost weight.
