Weight loss plateau

I started my journey on December 18 of 2019, I began eating keto and intermittent fasting for about 18 hours a day. Everything has been great so far. I have lost around 40 pounds I started at 291 and at 250 now. Shortly after I started I started doing OMAD. I eat about 1500-1600 calories in that one meal. I do have a food scale that I use religiously so I know my calories are pretty accurate. It’s been about a week and a half and I haven’t lost anything. I know weight loss does slow down but I’m still technically obese so I didn’t think it would slow this quickly. Am I just freaking out? Or did I screw something up by eating such few calories? Thank you again in advance. I just don’t want to give up and start eating bad again. Also I do work out 5 days a week. About a 2 mile fast paced walk. My heart rate during that walk is around 165-175

Start of weight loss journey

Hello Guys,

I decided to give this sub-reddit a try in hopes of getting help on my weight loss journey. In the course of 5 years I went from 150 to 210. I’m a female and I am 5’7. I don’t feel well with my image, I ended up deleting all my social media because I felt inferior to all my friends and family, it got to the point that I hated any kind of picture I was in.

I want to start losing weight, but I don’t know how. My main problem is that I am always hungry! And I also don’t have time to exercise, I work for 9 hours a day, and my commute is 2 hours and 30 minutes total a day. When I get home is already 7:30 and I have to prepare dinner for my husband and prepare to go to sleep.

I try to be active throughout my day, and according to my Apple Watch, I burn an average of 600 calories a day. I also drink a lot of water. Do you have any suggestions or if you could please provide any guidance to me as to what to do, what to follow, how to start, I would greatly appreciate it.

I am desperate and feeling really bad. :(

Thanks for taking some of your time to read my problem and concerns

Day one.

Hi, everyone! My weight loss journey is a nightmare. 😅 I’m trying to loose weight on and off for 8 years now. And I gained 50 pounds instead. It’s pretty tough for my self-esteem. Food has taken over my life and I can’t control myself at all. Trying to start healthy weight loss journey again. So far, I came up with a few steps, which I’ll try to implement: * No distractions, no electronics on the table. * Choose smaller plates * Cut portions by 15% * Eat slowly * Stop eating before feeling full * Don’t eat if not hungry * Drink more water and before meals * 6000 steps a day. * Cut sugar and simple carbs I’m here to ask for help, advice and support. I want it with all my heart, but nothing can stop me when I want a cookie. What do you say to yourself to stay on track? What motivates you to keep going?

Please don't do this.

It has happened to me more than it should and it could honestly break someone's spirit. Let me point out what I mean:

I posted on a group my starting photos with my stats, weight loss plan and an ask for advice and a little encouragment. I know how some of you feel about these kind of posts, but it was solely for me to finally "get it out there" and have no more exuses. Most of the comments were very empowering and motivating, there were even people with similar stats that wanted to get on this journey with me and start motivating ourselves day-to-day.

BUT there had to be people way diffrent than that. I did rant a little about my situation and that I was unhappy about my weight at the moment and...that seemed to piss them off. They wrote how me putting my stats out there was demeaning their efforts and that "me complaining about these numbers makes those with bigger ones insulted". Exuse me? Everyone at any point can feel the need to better themselves and their concerns and efforts are just as valid, even if smaller than yours. Making It about yourself to just make this other person feel bad for, well, feeling bad about themselves is hella wrong.

It only pissed me off, but I can see how someone could get sad by this, so please - try and avoid this behavior.

• sorry for poor english,

Am I making a mistake by not exercising?

Hi everyone!

I've been on my weight loss journey for several months now and have dropped over 25lbs! The way I did it was by primarily using CICO/OMAD while going about my everyday life. I'm a teacher, so I am on my feet all day, which helps burn a few extra calories on top of my BMR throughout the week. At no point did I do any rigorous exercise, which I think helped me stick with my plan for this long. Additionally, the scale has been a godsend as I see consistent drops in weight almost daily, which has been a great motivator as well.

With all of this being said, I am now sitting at home for an entire month due to COVID-19 shutting down my school. I'm thinking that I should use my apartment complex's gym and try to get a similar calorie burn like when I am working, but I fear it will burn me out or mess with my luck on the scale by adding extra water weight and demotivating me.

I know there is no statistical downside to exercising on top of my plan, but I'm really hesitant to change my routine since it has led to the greatest and most sustained weight loss of my entire life.

Weight loss progress log

Hey all! I (M20) thought this weight loss progress might be interesting to some, especially to those who want an idea on how fast they can lose weight if needed (since I've been losing pretty quickly).

Weight loss progress log: https://imgur.com/a/qTBcwo5

I've been doing Keto for a little over a month, I'm 6 foot and I have a good amount of muscle but also had fat that I've never been able to lose. To do this I've basically eaten between 1200 and 1700 calories a day, eaten atleast 120g of protein, atleast 90g of fat, and stayed under 20g of carbs everyday. I'll answer any questions you might have!

Struggling

Sorry in advance; I'm on mobile.

30f SW: 240lbs CW:178lbs GW:160lbs

I haven't been doing so well on my weight loss journey, specifically this week. I started in July 2017 and lost most of the weight that year. I spent most of 2018 stuck at 190lbs due to marital issues and other stresses. My husband left February 2019 and the divorce was finalized in June 2019. I dropped to 174 easily as I wasnt interested in food but crawled up to when food became tasty again. I gained a few more pounds, the holidays, etc, and now I'm just under 180 again.

I felt good starting this year because I started taekwando, took 4 mile walks most days, and started to jog on those as well. Then I got sick early Feb for a few weeks and got off track. And this week I hurt mybright leg/foot while hiking I guess and I've had to be off it all week. No walking or anything. I probably made it worse because I didnt notice anything was wrong and still did my 4 miles in both Sat and Sunday but was in pain on Monday.

I've also been over eating at maintenance or above a bit consistently this week. I feel like crap but I'm having a hard time controlling myself. If I over ate before, I didnt feel so bad because I was being active. Though it wasnt good to do that because it slowed my progress.

When I was sick in Feb it wasnt so bad not to be active for a few weeks because I was ill but this is different. I'm unhappy not being active and I think that makes me eat. After taekwondo I have no urge to eat and if i dont over eat before my walk then I'm also not likely to break my daily budget.

I'm sure stress is also a cause but I'm wondering if the increase in activity is making my calories insufficient? I dont feel like that's likely. I have 1470 per day.

Any upliftingnthoughts, tips, anecdotes for me?
