Weight loss projection chart

Hi guys!

I can’t for the life of me find a weekly weight loss projection/caloric deficit chart. I used one about 6 months ago but can’t find it now.

If anyone has a website that projects weight target based on your deficit please post a link it would be much appreciated!!

I’ve also attached a screen shot of what my chart used to look like if anyone recognizes where it came from. chart

Also the auto mods keep removing my post saying it has too little content so please feel free to disregard this portion of the post I’m just trying to meet whatever word requirement to auto mods have in this sub so my post doesn’t keep getting removed.

What has your current weight loss journey taught you?

I’ve been using the Lose It app on and off since October 2013. I’ve had varying success but ultimately leading towards an upward trend. My original starting weight was 290lbs.

I am 28, 6’2 and my current weight loss journey, I started November 28, 2019 at 349lbs. Now February 29,2020 I weight 315. What I have learned these last months is that resolve is everything. That’s something I never gad in any of my last journeys. I suffered from imposter syndrome. Hard to stay focused when you don’t believe you don’t deserve it. But this time I am driven. Even on days or week when I am not doing my best, I still have maintained that resolve to be the best that I can be. I’ve found that this is by far my easiest weight loss journey, only because my mindset is different.

But I’d like to hear from others who have started and stopped many times or those who started once and got it done and everyone in between

Can I use Whey Protein drink mixes meant for workouts for weight loss instead?

Instead of buying high protein meal replacement drinks, that instead I could possibly buy high protein drink mixes that are originally intended for working out. Is this a bad idea? I'm looking at saving money, and I'm trying to get more bang for the buck, so to speak. I notice on the drink mixes for working out that they say "Do not use for weight reduction" on them. What's the difference then? Meal replacements have more vitamins? If so, couldn't I just couple the working out drink mixes with a vitamin supplement then to get the same end result for cheaper?

I originally made 3 eggs each day for breakfast to get the high protein/low calorie combo, but family life is making it difficult to maintain that simple trend.

30 Day Accountability Challenge - March Sign Ups

A new month is starting which means a new Daily Accountability Challenge!

This is the sign up post to make your goals for the month.

There will be a daily post for you to post your progress on said goals.

At the end of the month, there will be a wrap up to talk about your general progress & how you feel about everything!

If you miss the sign up post, you're always welcome to hop in, the waters fine! You can also read everyone else's progress & commiserate, congratulate & whatever else needs ating. Your goals can be weight loss or general health related, creative, self care or whatever else you need to focus your mental energy on. We try to foster a supportive place to chat about your successes & failures & what you've learned from both.

Leading by example, here are my goals, subject to mild tweaks as needed:

Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): I would love to see onederland this month but I won’t jinx it.

Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): I want a 500 calorie a day deficit, minus two to four maintenance days a month. X/X days.

Exercise 5 days a week: I would also like to keep up walking at lunch plus exercise in the evening. I refer to it as a low effort two a day. X/X days.

Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing, fancy coffee out no more than 3 times a week X/13): Combining the coffee & self-care goals here. Coffee = indulgence, so it’s self-care, as is not over doing it. I will still donate if I go over the monthly allowance too. I want to be entering stuff into love journals once a week, I find it keeps my head space in a better place.

Try a new recipe once a week: Loving this. I want to make peanut butter hummus, homemade chimichurri sauce & a few others. I tend to do this at meal prep time but I’d love to be trying out more new dinner recipes. X/4 weeks.

Finish The Body Keeps the Score: This book is really informative but so dense & sometimes brutal.

Drawing prompt every day: I’d like to be doing this with more intentional consistency. X/X days.

Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: I’m not happy with where my head is at lately. I know these efforts help my headspace. I shall get to it.

Now you!

So Angry

This week I set a goal to lose 2 pounds. 5 days out of the 7, I could not have been any better -- absolute lowest cal intake, 16:8 IF, 3 workouts. 2 days out of the week are special occasions, so I eat reasonable portions of the (only) high calorie foods available. What should have been 2 lbs of weight loss is now not even a pound.

I'm just so frustrated and angry -- in every other goal in my life, if I do even a small amount of work towards it, I am a little bit closer to my goal. There's no such thing as stepping backwards.

How the hell do I lose weight and not get discouraged when every mistake I make is a step back?? I worked so hard, lost it over two days of trying to just enjoy myself, and now I just feel miserable.

What am i doing wrong?

Last year I Noticed I was 90kg and decided to do something about it. I've gotten much more active, walk the long way home from uni every day (about 30min) and an hour on my elliptical on the weekend. I've cut out all drinks apart from water and black coffee. And I've tried to cut out as much sugary foods as I can. I am kind of a retard when it comes to cooking, I've tried my best to learn new meals.
At the moment my days food looks like: a small tub of yoghurt in the morning 818kJ
and 2 tuna salad wraps, i don't know how to calaculate the kj on it but it's a low carb wrap, with a can of tuna, bunch of salad from those pre made bags and a tiny bit of mayonnaise. I do have a weight loss soup recipe which I did for a bit, but it just takes way too long make. I've been at it for about 5-6 months now and I'm still 90kg. I'm hungry all the time, and feel like I've been torturing myself for nothing.

Life after massive weight loss (-150lbs).. Reevaluating goals and "remotivation."

Obligatory before and after

In July of 2017, I discovered /r/loseit and with the help of this community, I was able to go from a morbidly obese 345lbs down to 193lbs in just under a year and a half. With the holidays coming up, I decided to increase my calorie intake and eat at maintenance for a month. That month turned into a year and I fluctuated between 195 and 215 for the next 14 months. I was upset with myself, struggling to get back on my diet/healthy lifestyle and could not break the 200lbs mark once again.

It wasnt until the last few weeks where I reevaluated my position. Yes, I haven't lost any significant weight since Dec '18; however, without realizing it, I have been maintaining my massive weight loss for over a year. By changing my perspective, I quickly became motivated once again as I proved that I can keep this weight off. I took an hour, sat down, and started writing down the improvements to my life that I have observed over this past year.

No more sleep apnea

No more back pain

No loss of energy from simply walking up a flight of stairs

Dating is a lot easier

Clothes shopping is a lot more fun

I feel healthy, happy

With this list in mind, I thought to myself "What will this list look like after losing another 20 lbs and maintaining THAT for a year?" There are still many things that those final 20lbs will add to my list!

I have been working on returning mentally to the place I was at the start of my weight loss journey in the hopes of hitting my goal weight of 180lbs. Last week, I joined a new gym and have focused on a more nutritionally balanced CICO diet. With this renewed mindset and motivation, I am using my previous goals and the success of this subreddit as my foundation for my future weight loss.

Whether you've lost 15lbs or 150lbs, it is important to recognize your accomplishments and use them as valuable pieces of motivation for future goals. If you did it in the past, you KNOW you can continue doing it and apply the exact same mindset to future goals. You know you have the capability to accomplish weight loss, so keep it up!
