Making the most of a standing job (3hr shift)

I recently got a job around the same time I decided to be more active and perhaps slim down a little along the way-basically, my job is a cashier standing upright in a small area for 3 hours a day. I am in full view of the customers and manager and can move around freely, bend down etc but should keep an eye on the counter to serve people.

Is there any not-too obnoxious or conspicuous exercises (so maybe not lunge jumps or burpees) I can do while standing for so long? Otherwise I’m completely still for ages and I get a little restless and stiff, and feel if I’m going to be on my feet, I might as well kick start my weight loss! Thanks

Lost 60 lbs, how can i lose the last 15?

Hey all!

Info: 22 year old male, 6'3 tall

Start weight: 270 lbs. Current weight: 210 lbs. Goal weight: 195 lbs.

Started my weight loss last year and have lost about 60 lbs with no diet really, just cutting out sugar and doing loads of cardio and thinking about what I am eating. Now I've been on a weird plateau for a few months. I've tried doing more carido, cutting down more calories but nothing seems to work. I still have A LOT of fat in my breasts, They are huge and I also can't seem to get rid of them. I've lost loads of fat in the face and chest/stomach but my man boobs are still there. Also have quiet a lot fat in my upper thighs.

Now for my actual questions, What is the best way to get rid of my man boobs? Should i try the Keto diet (heard it can be bad) or some other kind of diet? Please tell me what worked for you and if you did have man boobs, how did you get rid of them?

Sudden increase in appetite - need tips!

Hi, I'm a 22 y/o female [Height : 5'3 SW: 168 CW: 135 GW: 125]

I've lost 10 lbs in the last 3 months, and I'm trying to keep my weight loss slow and steady. My height gives me a low TDEE and I have a relatively heavy academic course (PhD in Computer Science) so I can't take drastic measures or devote a lot of time to weightloss.

However, I have been trying to maintain eating 1.2-1.4kcals a day and eating enough protein. I also workout 3-5 times a week with heavy cardio - 35 mins and some strength training.

Oddly enough, I feel my appetite higher than ever and I don't know what to do to quell it. I tried having black coffee / green tea / diet soda but it seems to have the opposite effect.

Any recommendations for low calorie snacks that are filling, or ways to reduce hunger?

Thank you!

Linear vs. non-linear planned weight loss?

What do you all think about planning to take 1-2 week maintenance breaks where you try to eat your TDEE after every 10-12 weeks or so? Basically, what is described here: https://physiqonomics.com/the-phase-diet/. Has anyone tried this? Did you specifically plan to lose weight non-linearly, or did it just end up happening because of life events, water retention, etc.?

I would like to lose about 15 lbs (F 5'6" CW: 139 GW <124) over about 6 months. Do you think it's better to aim for a steady weight loss of ~0.62 lb/week for 6 months, or a little higher with a few breaks of intentionally eating maintenance calories?

Would love to hear about your experiences, linear and non-linear!

How to workout/get activity with sprained ankle?

For the millionth time, I have fallen off track of my diet. I’m really feeling dedicated this time around. I want to lose at least 40 pounds.

I often go too hard too fast and therefore quit. I sprained my ankle about 2 weeks ago. The whole first week, I did nothing but lay around. And because I couldn’t workout, I made an excuse to put off my weight loss.... again. Well I’m tired of this pattern. I intend to lose weight. And end up just putting on more because I find an excuse to binge eat anticipating a diet but then the diet never happens and all the binge eating just puts on more pounds.

Since Monday, I have been decent on nutrition. 1200-1500 calories a day using my fitnesspal. I really don’t like eating as much as 1500 but I’m trying to not let one “bad” day get me down. I also am not eating the healthiest of food (left over Halloween candy today), but still really trying to stay in that calorie window. Any progress is progress right?

Although my eating habits have been terrible, I still am a fairly active person. Use my treadmill at home, walk dogs, gym some days, and I’m a nurse and always on my feet

Well not doing any activity is pretty frustrating. I’m not sure how long it will take for my sprain to recover. Doc says just base my activity on how I’m feeling. I’ve tried a couple 30 minute walks. Ankle doesn’t feel terrible, but the discomfort and swelling is still there. And because I need to be on it at work, I won’t want to push it.

Any recommendations on activity to help my calorie deficit without making my injury worse? I just need some sweating and really want to get this weight off 😖

Hitting the one month mark and getting frustrated because there are no visible results

It's been a little more than month since I started my weight loss journey.

For now I've only been doing CICO (around 1200cal/day when I take the average over a week), and walking more. I'd like to start swimming after the holidays.

Even though the numbers have been going down on the scale, I'm getting frustrated about not being able to see anything in how I look (here are some progress pics https://imgur.com/a/Gt0E7XU). I know I'm being impatient but I can't help it. It's even worse because I feel like I can feel some change in my body (much more defined calves, emerging collarbones, jewelery and clothes fitting a bit more losely), but then I look in the mirror and I look the same as I did last month.

I've also had trouble being consistent in eating healthier. I have improved a lot, for example I eat a lot more fresh vegetables than before (I used to live mainly off pasta and rice) and I've started tracking my protein intake (which I did'nt do before even though I don't eat meat), but there are some days when I go back to my old habits (for example I found some frozen pasta with mushrooms, and one (individually packed) portion amounts to 260 cal, but I ended up eating three portions instead of one last night, in kind of a binging behavior (still remained within my calories goal though)), and then I feel very disappointed in myself.

I think I'm also getting frustrated because I have told almost no one around me that I've started trying to lose weight and the few people I've told act as if I hadn't said anything (they're long distance friends, but still), so I feel like I'm not doing anything. I guess I needed to rant a bit haha.

When have you started seing some progress ?
