I need help on my weight loss journey!

I’m on a journey to lose weight for basic training this summer, so I’ve been working out with my friends at a close gym. We workout around 7 everyday and rest Saturday and Sunday. Our daily routine is running two miles everyday after our run we come back and do the workout on the bored which is different every day. Since I’ve started my weight was 185 pounds. Till now my weight is 177 so I’ve lost 8lb which is amazing but honestly I’ve haven’t seen changes in my body:/. Through out the whole day I never eat in the mornings usually Because I’m never hungry. In the afternoon I usually eat whatever was served at school but now it’s basically whatever my mom makes which is Mexican based food. For dinner I eat a salad which consist one of theses options(chicken, tuna, or chopped ham) and if I still feel hungry I’ll eat some Greek yogurt. Should I change anything? What do y’all think?

Lost ten pounds and my confidence is slowly coming back 25F 5’4” SW:208 CW:188 GW: 128

I’ve been in this group for about a month and this is sort of my introductory post. So I’ve lost ten pounds since I’ve started counting calories near the end of February and I’ve noticed I’m dancing more and my size 14 pants have started to fall down. I lost nearly 50 pounds back in 2015 due to an ED and I gained it and 20 more pounds throughout my past unhealthy relationship. My new boyfriend, (nine months on Sunday) attributes this group to helping him get through a lot of his weight loss and suggested I join. Through this group and his help I’m really excited to get healthy and not have such a toxic relationship with food. I do however see my ED tendencies coming back and I’m worried I’m gonna fall back into that black hole. I want to be able to lose this weight and keep it off for good.

Caloric restriction, intense exercise, coronavirus and immune system function

I’ve been reading a bit online, and while I understand that long term caloric restriction may increase life expectancy, caloric restriction (long or short term) may weaken the immune system. While the risk may be acceptable for some that are at a very unhealthy weight, maybe it isn’t worth it for those merely overweight. Has anyone considered this and have you changed your behavior, goals, or weight loss timeline as a result, particularly with the coronavirus risk?

Why I’m asking: 5’11 male that has gone from 175 to 160 over the past 3 months (previous high 235 many years ago). I’m closing in on abdominal definition, but it’ll probably take another month. I’m at a healthy weight now and the last 5 pounds will be the hardest weight I’ve ever lost. Not sure if I’m just making an excuse because the going is getting tough, or if this is a legit concern as the coronavirus picks up steam in the US.

Do I need surgery or will working out lose this?

Hi all- I have been on a weight loss journey for about 2 years now. I have seen great improvements from how I looked before but theres one thing that is still really bothering me. I carry a lot of fat in my face and I have a lot of fat around my jawline. This makes me have a sort of double chin kind of lose skin area. It really messes up my self confidence even though I can’t see it all the time I know it’s there. I have lost 65 pounds and I thought it would be more than enough but I’m still pretty chunky. I am 5’4 and weigh 145 pounds. I have looked into cool sculpting but it’s so expensive and I don’t really want surgery but I also hate having that there. If I keep losing weight will it go away or do I have to do something to it surgically? https://imgur.com/a/w1u038Q

Depression and Losing Weight [UPDATE]

original post

Thank you for all the kind suggestions I received to help me stay motivated. I did figure out a little system for losing weight and staying motivated.

For my personal situation, I have a lot of weight to lose. Like a lot. 185lbs a lot, to be a healthy weight for my height. Today though, I weighed in at 298.6lbs, the first time I’ve been under 300lbs in over two years!

My system is a very small visual one. I created a progress bar. I fill it up as I lose weight until I get to my goal! It’s working so far for motivating me as I can VISIBLY see my progress and how close I am to my next milestone.

Thank you everyone for being so supportive, this subreddit is an amazing community and being a part of it has made my weight loss not feel so lonely. ❤️

Morning Protein Other than Eggs?

Hello! I’ve been on this weight loss and health journey for years. I see a nutritionist, and I’m not really on a “diet” per se - I just eat around the macros she lays out for me.
Well, with the shortages happening right now, our grocery store is out of eggs. Eggs have been my morning protein for a long time, they’re cheap and easy and versatile. But now I’m limited to one a day until further notice. Normally, I eat two with some bread, fruit, or potatoes.
I’m thinking a smoothie (not surprisingly, not out of fruit!) with Greek yogurt and a scoop or two of protein powder. That gets pretty high in calories pretty quick though. I also have frozen salmon, but I’m trying to save my fish for Fridays because I’m Catholic.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

Are you on quarantine or self-isolation? I've compiled some resources for you!

I noticed a lot of "I can't exercise at home" and "It's hard to have access to healthy foods right now" posts. Just wanted to share some resources for you:

EXERCISE

NerdFitness Bodyweight Workout for Beginners

30 Minute Hip Hop Tabata (no equipment)

Low Impact Cardio (36 minutes, no equipment)

30 Minute Indoor Power Walk (bonus French Bulldog)

There are literally TONS of free, no-equipment workout videos online.

FOOD

I went to the grocery store twice yesterday (2 different stores) and the selection was abysmal to say the least. Here are some things to stock up on top help you get the right nutrients - if you can find them. Obviously these aren't all perfect for weight loss - but it's better than just buying Lays potato chips. :)

Beans

Canned or frozen Veggies

Oatmeal (the real kind, not instant which might have added sugar)

High fiber cereals (watch the sugar)

Canned or frozen fruit

Protein bars (these were surprisingly well-stocked in my area - watch sugar content though)

Granola

Nuts

Any whole grains you can find (crackers, pasta, breads) Don't forget that breads can be frozen to last longer.

Lean meats, if you aren't vegetarian.

Soups (preferably with veggies in them, low sodium if you can find it - I love Progresso Low Sodium Tomato and Basil soup with whole grain crackers)

FRIENDS WITH BED

For those of us that suffer from BED Binge Eating Disorder, having more food in the house ... and being isolated with that food for a long period of time is especially difficult. If you have a friend with BED reach out to them and offer to be their accountability buddy.
