Weight loss after tonsillectomy

So I (25F 5’8”) had been slowly losing weight almost getting down to a consistent 206-207 lbs from 219lb over the past year or so.. I’ve been rock climbing/ hiking/gym but really it came down to my diet holding me back... welll I got down to a whopping 194.2 lbs during recovery.. literally because I was starving... well now I’m eating again and my weight picked back up to 195 even though I had ate less than 1000 cal the last couple days.. I started climbing again and I need food to do that.. at my current intake I was extremely shaky and my endurance had slowed for obvious reasons.. but now I’m scared to gain it back... I love my current size and it’s motivated me to keep pushing and take control. But now I’m scared to eat because the scale went up instead of down... I downloaded my fitness pal so I can slowly see myself lose the weight and not just crash diet... but any tips?? I’m just worried

bowel movements...

A little TMI but I gotta know if it is just me or what I can do to fix this!

I have been on a 'weight loss journey' for a little over a year, have lost 80+lbs etc. Still in a deficit as I have 30 to go! My diet is high protein, high fat and moderate carb. I take vitamins and just recently started fibre supplements.

I started fibre supplements because I haven't had a bowel movement in 11 days now. This is not uncommon for me when I am restricting. I feel absolutely no discomfort, my stomach feels okay and isn't hard. I often go 6/7 days without one but 11 is a bit of a stretch, though it has happened before.

I eat roughly between 1200 to 1400 calories a day and exercise almost everyday. The more exercise I do and the bigger my deficit, the more constipated I get! I drink roughly 3 litres of fluids a day (mixture of tea, water and I do like some pepsi max).

I hope these supplements start to work soon, I am on day 3 of them and no luck yet. It is really hard to hit those protein goals, fibre goals and eat enough fat to be satisfied all while keeping it under 1400 calories :(

funny thing is, when I was morbidly obese I would have went 2 times a day and my diet was HORRIBLE. No nutritional value at all. I am just worried because this can't be normal lol

Anyone get better at running without training for it specifically?

So I casually play slow pitch in the summer and have always been embarrassed about running the bases. I’ve basically avoided running since I was 13 years old and got teased in gym class for being so sweaty and red after playing sports.

I found myself running sometimes last season but always got reminded how slow I was by my team since I’m “the fat funny guy who can handle being teased”.

I know people will suggest just running if I wanna get better at it, but I have been told to avoid running when I work out due to arthritis in my lower back, so I’m kind of wondering if just general weight loss and strength training will make a significant difference? I’m sure the 20-40lbs of weight I hope to lose will help, but has anyone with experience with a situation like this?

Thanks!

need motivation

hey! i’m turning 22 (F) in a couple of weeks and have been on and off dieting since i was 13. at my highest i was 184 pounds. last june, i was down to 130 and starting to feel pretty good about it and in a healthy space with my eating and working out. anyways, series of events super stressful few months, i’ve started eating A LOt. like most days i’m okay, under 2000 cal but three/four times a month the stress gets to me and i eat 4000-7000 calories in one day. despite maintaining an okay diet most days, these binges and very inconsistent gym routine have brought me up to hover around 145. i feel crappy. like terrible tbh. i keep reminding myself that i’m still a long way off from being back at square one but i would love to get back to the great routine and progress i had going last year. i think my point with this post is just that i would like a space to come and feel motivated to not sabotage myself. if anyone has any tips or stories of their own to share about the ups and downs of weight loss, i’d love to hear them! i really want to feel better and do better because i want to get back to the point where i was feeling really proud of myself.

Question about calories and exercise

Hi! So im about 5'3" 133lbs right now and I want to get down to 115. I started at 165 and have been eating between 1200-1300 for the past year. In the last 2 months the weight loss has been very painfully slow (a 3lb loss as opposed to a 8lbs loss) and I recently joined a gym to try to jumpstart my weightloss again.

My problem is that when I joined the gym they said my MBR is around 2000 and I should be eating 1600 calories a day if I work out 3 times a week for about an hour. For me this seems kind of high? Im not exactly tiny but I'm still pretty short and I'm afraid that if I eat 1600 a day I'll start gaining weight back.

So should I eat at 1600? Or do a compromise at 1400? Also did eating between 1200-1300 for a year cause my weight loss to slow down so much? Thanks!

We're Stronger By Science! Ask Us Anything

Hey everyone! We'll be kicking off the AMA at 5pm EST, but I'm going ahead an posting the thread so questions can start coming in.

There should be seven members of the Stronger By Science crew kicking around in here for parts or all of the AMA. Stronger By Science is a website/burgeoning media empire dedicated to educating and coaching anyone who's trying to get stronger, build muscle, lose weight, or perform better. We tend to lean pretty hard toward the sciency side of things, but not in a pubmed abstract warrior way. Most of us have actually conducted original research and all of us have a lot of practical experience with training and coaching, so I think we do a pretty good job of avoiding some of the worst excesses of the pubmed warriors who claim to be doing "Evidence Based Fitness." We'll be happy to answer any questions you have about fitness-related topics. The only topics we'll ask you to avoid are clinical nutrition (i.e. nutrition advice for different disease states) or eating disorder questions; we have a dietician on staff for those issues, but he can't make the AMA unfortunately. Since this is /r/LoseIt, I'm assuming most of the questions will be about nutrition and weight loss, but we're happy to answer any questions within our collective areas of expertise.

I'm Greg Nuckols. I'm a powerlifter and powerlifting coach. I have a MA in exercise and sport science, and have been coaching for a little over a decade.

Cody Haun: Cody has a PhD in Exercise Physiology and researches responses to exercise and nutrition interventions and how to monitor the training process for best results. He’s a coach and professor as well. /u/drcodyhaun
