Where are all my short girls who struggle to lose and talk about those 10-20 lbs they've gained

10-15 lbs does NOT sound like a lot. I get it. SO many people on this sub have achieved crazy amazing things, and I read all your stories and feel blown away by all the consistent effort and commitment.

I'm short, and i am getting chubby. But im only around 11 lbs overweight based on my ideal weight. On a woman who is 5'8 - 5'9 those extra lbs disperse a lot less noticeably and its easier to fluctuate without sizing up significantly.

However, when I gain even 5lbs at 5'2, i feel it EVERYWHERE. My pants are tight, my thighs are squishing into my jeans, I see it in my face, on my feet (although rarely on my boobs....wtf thanks genetics) and definitely in my big ol butt.

I hate telling people I'm on a weight loss journey when its such a short one, it feels embarassing when others weight battles are much tougher than mine.

But it still counts and its still hard and I want all the short girls out there to know I'm with you! That amount of weight is a lot, and can make you feel terrible and gross and self conscious.

Currently 128 lbs, on my way back down to 115lbs.

Godspeed all you tiny meatballs out there.

Stopped losing weight for 2 weeks in a row

Hello everyone. I started my new weight loss journey on September 9th (starting at 372 as a 6'7 male) and am currently down 23 pounds. 372 was already about 20 pounds lighter than where i was about 6 months ago. I did this by getting the MyFitnessPal app and counting all incoming and outgoing calories. Also some minor lifestyle changes like cutting out soda, taking long walks, and not eating after dinner. I also started IMF two weeks ago doing 16:8. While continuing to do this, I have completely stalled on losing weight with no loss in 2 weeks. I have been continuing to stay well below my calorie count on most days, continued IMF, and even ran a Tough Mudder 5k last weekend. But nothing seems to be getting my back on track.

Any suggestions? I am feeling extremely defeated after seeing great success early. Anything would help!

Here are five reasons why Nutrisystem is your best fit to become your best you:

1. It’s easy to follow.

best diet

Besides the delicious food options and, of course, the results, the number one reason members love Nutrisystem is that it’s so easy to follow. Unlike other weight loss programs, there’s no weighing foods or guessing portion sizes. We give you an easy-to-follow meal plan with healthy meals and snacks that are pre-measured and pre-portioned for you. You’ll also add in unlimited amounts fresh, non-starchy vegetables every day. Because they’re unlimited, you can fill up on them and don’t have to worry about overeating.

During your first week on the program, things are kept super simple. You will stick to the Nutrisystem meals in your first week kit and just add in veggies and water. Going into week two, your custom program will start to incorporate Flex Meals.

Pro tip: On on Uniquely Yours Ultimate plan? Instead of incorporating in Flex meals, you get to enjoy Nutrisystem foods for every meal occasion throughout the duration of your time on the program.

Flex meals provide you with the opportunity to dine out or cook your own healthy dish while staying within the program. Use Nutrisystem’s ultra-clear guidance when preparing them and take advantage of our extensive recipe section on The Leaf. Flex Meals are a key tool to keeping the weight off once you’ve reached your goal, helping you learn to prepare and order healthy meals in healthy portions that will keep your body fueled and satisfied.

2. There’s no counting.

best diet

Well, there’s a teeny, tiny bit of counting. But it’s not calculus—it’s counting to four! To make your Nutrisystem plan work better, you’ve got to count up four servings of non-starchy vegetables per day. With our Grocery Guide, it couldn’t be easier to find vegetables you’ll enjoy eating, in portions that are simple to understand and count.

What you won’t have to count are macronutrients, calories or any of the other complicated stuff that makes other diets require a calculator. Instead, you’ll follow our simple meal plan and Grocery Guide to easily select, incorporate and combine the appropriate food items with Nutrisystem meals.

And for that little bit of counting, we’ve got an app for that! The NuMi app makes keeping track of your Nutrisystem meals, snacks, water and weight loss easy. The free app is already pre-loaded with every Nutrisystem food and will help you calculate and count those SmartCarbs and PowerFuels. No math!

Dietitians and nutrition experts at Nutrisystem have designed our program and meals to have the perfect balance of nutrition that your body needs. They have the right mix of carbohydrates, fats and protein to fuel your body for all-day energy while keeping you full. You’ll be satisfied and won’t be looking for a snack while waiting for your next meal.

Nutrisystem’s nutritionists have also created programs that have you eating six times per day, every two to three hours. So, unlike other weight loss programs where you’re starving yourself, Nutrisystem members have a meal, snack, or shake every few hours to crush cravings and keep their appetite in check.

4. Chef-created foods.

It’s simple—the biggest key to the success of any weight loss plan is that you stick to it. According to a study, published in the International Journal of Obesity, diets are more effective when dieters adhere to their plan. That’s why Nutrisystem employs a secret weapon to making their plans and foods easy to stick with: Chef-created meals and snacks.

You won’t be eating unappetizing “diet versions” of pizza, pasta, cookies, cakes and other favorites. You’ll be eating mouthwatering, tasty versions of those foods that have the right mix of spices, flavors and textures to become meals you’ll love eating—made healthier with delicious, quality ingredients.

By answering a few simple questions, such as the foods you like, your body type and goals, we create a personal weight loss program that is the best diet for YOU.

Back on the weight loss train again!

I did very well about almost 5 years ago. I lost about 65 lbs from CICO, exercise, and a low carb diet. Then I met my now husband- and while I love him to pieces, he brought me back to some awful eating habits.

I've been using mfp again, and doing high fat, high protein, low carb has been working for me. I've lost a bit over 17lbs in the last 80 days. I wanted to take it slowly, and for the first month or so I didn't lose much weight but user it as a period of time to figure out what foods work and don't work for me, what I like and don't like, and how I stay full. I'm starting to get food pretty under control- I loosely use keto as a guideline but eat a lot more vegetables than what is generally recommended for it and that brings my net carbs up a bit high, but I'm losing weight steadily now and that's what I care about as opposed to following a strict diet.

Now it's time to get back on the exercise train!

I've waited a month to post this.

April 24 of this year was the first time I weighed in on my first day of my official weight-loss journey: 270lb, as a 5'4'' 27yo female. That was a very hard day.

For the next 5 months, I danced around any real progress; I was scared. Scared of loose skin, scared of cutting out things I loved to eat, scared of what I would do with my time I otherwise spent binging at night, and scared of how I would actually go about resetting habits. But mostly, I was scared to face that reality that if I succeeded, my "weight loss journey" would become part of my identity. I would have to talk about it. I would have to accept that I had been fat enough to go on a "journey" to become not fat, and other people would know. I hated that idea. I thought that if I ignored the weight, if I pretended to be okay with myself, if I just made sure not to be in anyone's pictures, or end up on instagram where someone from high school or college might see me (as 100+ of these pounds have been put on in the last 4 years; most of my life I'd been fit and athletic), I could just will this weight to disappear and never have to think about it or admit it to anyone, and I could leave it all entirely behind me. I actually believed that.

It took a lot of reading this subreddit and of facing the reality of what I was consuming every day and googling images of "270 pound woman" for me to realize that wasn't true. But mostly, it took me moving to the other side of the world.

A little over two months ago I moved from NYC to Hong Kong, on a 6-month assignment for my job. For the first month or so, I didn't really seem to move in any direction; I needed time to adjust to an entirely new space and culture and job. I wasn't eating great, but I wasn't binging to my usual degree either. And then roughly six weeks in, I realized I had an opportunity. Everything around me was different: I had none of my usual triggers or foods, no Seamless, no bodega downstairs, I couldn't even access weed (I usually smoke 1-2 joints per night), and I had a gym three floors down.

And then it just...happened for me. I went out and bought a scale (264.2 on October 13). I started tracking every single day. I cooked broccoli at home and learned to absolutely love it (and cauliflower, and asparagus, and cottage cheese with orange slices for breakfast). I stopped eating sweets, almost entirely. I joined a boxing gym, and started going 2-3 times a week. In my off-days I hit the treadmill or the elliptical in the gym, for a total of 4-5 workouts per week. And I did not want to say it had "clicked" or "finally stuck" until I had done exactly 30 days. And today is that day.

Today, I weighed in at 246.8lb.

I can get up a flight of stairs without heaving. I don't feel the urge to binge. I have developed a deep love and craving for truly healthy foods. I've come to realize that most junk food, or meals eaten out, really aren't worth it. My clothes are starting to fit better. I'm sweating less. I have more energy, I'm happier, I can look at myself in the mirror and am too distracted by the progress I can see to focus on the the things I've grown to hate about my body. I'm not perfect, and I'm still nowhere near my goal weight, but I cannot wait to keep going.

30 days down, and a lifetime to go.
