Running start

My first post on here, I just thought I’d put a tip for those who struggle with anxiety from the number on the scale.

If you eat something you aren’t particularly proud of or a little too much of something healthy, or even something that’s completely okay to have... if you feel bad about it , DRINK WATER. I swear I have been pushing for 5 months and I’m down almost 60 pounds and that is from me combining as many weight loss efforts as possible, water is number one!!

You’re supposed to drink about half of your body weight number in ounces of water every day( if your 200 lbs then you drink 100 oz). I’ve been drinking a little more and it helps so much with clearing your system , helping with anxiety, hunger, binging and it actually causes you to burn fat. The more water you drink the less water you retain. When you drink water, it fills your fat cells for a temporary time and then causes them to shrink, I’m no scientist but I know that water helps a whole lot.

Just thought I’d mention something that has TREMENDOUSLY HELPED ME bc I know how it is to be looking for things to do on here to live healthier. stay motivated you guys, when your struggling to stop yourself from cheating just remember I’m right there with you and we are both gonna say no!!

(Sorry if typos)

Working out and eating clean, not losing weight. Any advice?

Good afternoon!

I started this journey nearly 45 days ago. The goal was to workout 4 times per week lifting and do cardio 3-4 per week.

Initially I started at 2600 calories per day. I did this for two weeks and I gained 1.2lbs. I decreased this to 2000 calories per day and for the last four weeks I've stayed anywhere from 1800-2200 calories with occasional days at 1200 when I'm not hungry at all. I've never missed a lift and I push myself hard, my body composition is changing for the better and I've put on a lot of muscle.

When I dropped my calories I lost about 5lbs over the course of 3 weeks. Still, I was 231lbs, eating 2000 calories per day and working out as hard/frequent as I do, I should be losing weight at a pretty rapid pace, right? To make things even more confusing, I started putting on weight in the last week. I am now 234lbs, I have made zero changes to diet and working out except I'm pushing myself a lot harder on cardio..

Why is this happening? One thing I've noticed is that I'm rarely hungry. I figured that when you diet you should probably be hungry, but I'm not. This confuses me because I track everything I eat and I'm certain I'm at 2000 calories per day. At my weight and workout frequency 2000 calories per day should be pretty huge deficit. You'd think I'd lose at least 2lbs a week at this.

Could my metabolism be completely fucked? What is the reason for my body being so resistant to weight loss?

My binge eating is out of control

My goal weight is 130lb. Now I weigh 186.4 lb just weighted myself after a binge with clothes on. Yes I know your supposed to weigh yourself in the morning preferably with no clothes on. Anyway, it's gotten to the point that now I'm scared to leave my bed because I'm scared I'll binge if I do. I don't want to be a victim to my ed. I just feel so unmotivated because now I need to lose 60lbs. I have this feeling inside of my that i will be my goal weight tbh I know i can do it. I just want to be my goal weight when I'm 20, I'm turning 18 in may. I just need to stop binge eating but it's harder than it sounds. I've even gone toy gp and she said she couldn't help.😕 luckily there's resources online and YouTubers I can watch i guess.

I wanna start documenting my weight loss. Said this last time and didn't lol this time I will for myself.

I lose 60+ pounds and weight loss is making me really miserable. Advice?

My general info: 5'11''/f/cw: 197/hw: 260/30 years old

-----

When I started to lose weight I was excited for a lifestyle change and went into really seriously. I calculated my TDEE, ate within it, etc. However as I started to lose weight it became very tempting to search out ways to lose just a little faster. Basically I would decrease my calorie intake just a little, and now I eat ~700-1000 calories a day (depending). I started getting a lot of compliments at work and people started to treat me nicely so it was motivation to keep up. My intention was just to be on a strict diet until I met my goal (170) but now idk. I find myself logging every little thing I eat, and I get really depressed if I eat over 1200 calories in a day because I don't want to go back to how I used to be. I still have a lot of weight to lose but I'm a little sad that life isn't more enjoyable now. I really thought losing weight would help me to make friends, be more outgoing, etc but I find myself obsessing about how I look and my weight so much. I worry if I'm not constantly on myself then I'll get too comfortable and gain everything back, it is my worst nightmare. Has anyone been through something similar during their weight loss experience?

Aesthetic Weight Loss—Advice needed

Hey! I’m not sure how much weight I should be trying to lose. I’m hoping for thinner legs and hips specifically, but I don’t know when I would start to see a difference.

I’m going for a “thin” kind of look as opposed to muscular/toned. It would also be nice to have a better thigh gap too lol.

Here’s some pictures of my legs and waist/hips for reference. I feel like my legs and hips are a lot bigger than my waist, and idk how to fix that.

Does ~10 pounds seem reasonable? Less? More? Feel free to be honest even if it’s kinda rude.

I’m 135 pounds at the moment, so maybe like 125 pounds would be a good goal?

For exercise. is just running fine? I don’t want to do strength training because I think I’ll just gain weight and/or muscle and just move farther away from appearance goals.

In terms of eating, am I probably fine if I have the energy to run? I realize I should eat enough to not lose weight like super quickly, but I obviously do want to lose weight.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!
