Looking for a site that will tell you objects you've lost the equivalent weight of

I hope that makes sense... I'm unfortunately starting over on my second weight loss journey (long story) but this time I'm bringing a friend- my fiancee is joining me and we're keeping each other in check! :)

Back when I was losing weight before, I had found a website where if you typed the weight you'd lost, it'd tell you things that weigh that much. I.e. you've lost the weight of a toddler, you've lost the weight of a small air conditioner, you've lost the weight of a baby elephant etc.

I thought this would be neat to share with her. I remember it being fairly encouraging and amusing. If anyone has info on this or a similar thing I'd love the help.

Not falling off the wagon!

Last night i had a serious binge. I spent £40 on chinese food to be delivered and ate a massive amount of it. I could say it was a drunken mistake, but i was sober when i ordered it. I could say that every mouthful was heaven, but it wasnt. Sure, the first few mouthfuls were delicious, but after that, it was just a bit .... meh. That didnt stop me shovelling it into my mouth, past the point when i was full.

I went to bed in serious discomfort, asking myself why i had just eaten all that. I cant purge as i have a serious phobia of vomiting. I slept badly too.

There was some food leftover. That has been thrown in the bin this morning, and im putting on my trainers to go for a run now. Hopefully all the extra carbs turns into a few extra kms!

My point is - i had a bad day. Ive spent a couple of hours beating myself up about it, but im moving on, getting back on track and not letting one bad decision derail the progress ive made so far.

I hope anyone else reading this who might also have had a bad diet day can also realise that its a single day in a long journey, a small hiccup and in the grand scheme of things, it shouldn’t hold up your weight loss progress. Keep strong and keep going!

At a weird place... 5’7”, 25F - Began my weight loss journey at 350 pounds in June 2019 - Currently at 265 pounds 10 months later — feeling somewhat discouraged/confused?

Hey all.

I have a goal to lose 100 pounds before my one year anniversary of my weight loss journey in June of this year. I would like to be at or below 250 pounds.

Not sure why, but lately I’ve been feeling super discouraged. Not sure if it’s because of my dating life, slow weight loss, quarantine, or what, but I’m feeling a little down about this weight loss journey.

I guess I thought I would lose more than 100 pounds before my one year anniversary and now I’m not even sure if I’ll meet that goal... and I really would like to be thinner sooner and I know I can’t pressure or speed up the process, but I don’t know.

Just feeling weird.

It’s also getting harder to lose weight and I of course understand, but that makes the weight loss journey scary. I’m also scared of lose skin and what to do.

I’ve been doing Couch to 5K, calorie counting (kind of, not super strict), keto-ish, 100 oz of water per day, OrangeTheory, and at home workouts. I would like to try to focus more on strength training, but with the quarantine, I have limited myself to body weights.

I’ve been hitting a lot more plateaus lately and sometimes I don’t feel like my nutritionist points me in the right direction. She wants me to eat these Nature Valley protein bars, but I feel like it’s just added sugar I don’t need... I’m not sure...

I don’t know what I’m looking for, but I hope someone can relate and maybe guide me with how I can navigate all these thoughts/feelings. I think I desperately want to be at <150 pounds and this quarantine doesn’t help me when I look in the mirror... I don’t know haha

How much do rest days affect weight loss?

For context, I cycle to work at least four days a week. It’s a 9km journey that I can now do in around 20 minutes, and my job as a welder is pretty physical, so my exercise levels are fine (around 3500 calories a day, according to my phone, however accurate that is).

Similarly, my diet is mostly ok. I don’t count calories, but I’m reasonably sensible, I don’t snack during the day and can’t really drink too much on my ADHD meds.

So here’s the thing; if I weigh on a Monday after a weekend where my diet is theoretical at best, I’ll have lost weight over my last weigh in the previous Thursday. Why? I don’t exercise much over the weekend, and if I do drink, that’ll be when. Then, by the following Thursday I’ll have regained some of the weight, only for it to fall off again (and a bit more) over the weekend.

Can anyone explain the physics of this to me, because it makes very little sense. How do I lose weight during the days when I don’t really follow my diet and exercise plan?

Dad Wont Track Things

Hello all

So this post is about my dad. He's 6'1, 68, and I'm not too sure on his weight but we know he needs to lose 50-80lb to lower his blood pressure and extend his life, maybe even a hundred pounds.
My whole family is on a weight loss journey but all three of us have different methods. My stepmom is using weight watchers and it's working for her so far. I've always tracked my calories with mfp. But then there's my dad. He eats healthy majority of the day (eggs, cabbage, and corned beef for breakfast, big salad for lunch, whatever we cook for dinner), but then he'll snack on almonds, chocolate almonds, peanut butter and a banana, all night. He thinks it's ok for the most part since they are considered healthy, but we've tried to show him that the servings are extremely high calorie.

He understands but he has yet to quit, and he doesn't want to track calories with a food scale/mfp. I also don't think weight watchers would be too good for him since he'd fit in 0 point foods that are higher calorie. He's lost weight since we've started this, but it's slow and goes up and down a lot more than we believe it should be. Since it's life and death.

I know I can't change someone who wouldn't want to, but I feel as though he's starting to be more open to different methods. Would anyone have any advice to get him to quit snacking like that?

Got my first compliment today!

I’ve taken this corona time to really focus on my weight loss. At my heaviest I was 265. I started losing some weight maybe a month before this whole shutdown. Once I was at home all day I figured I could really focus on losing weight so when I come back to my job everyone would be shocked.

Well I was out doing errands today and ran into a coworker. She def noticed and complimented me about how ide def lost some weight. Felt good that she not only noticed but was like “holy shit you’ve lost weight”.

I checked my weight to see exactly how much I’ve lost and I’m 235 now. So a solid 30 pounds, prob atleast 20 of that being since we all went home on leave.

We are scheduled to start back up in September so 4 more months, I could possibly be down to 210 or even 200.

Weight loss tips while breastfeeding? (*crossposted!*)

I’m one month postpartum and the first 30 lbs FLEW off. Score! Well, it looks like the next ten pounds are on me. So obviously weight loss is “calories in vs calories out”, buuuuutttttt I’m getting a lot of mixed messages about losing weight while breastfeeding. One one hand, nurses at the hospital repeatedly told me “DO NOT DIET!” I’ve also heard on the other hand, that weight just “melts off” while breastfeeding. Others claim they can’t lose weight no matter what while breastfeeding and they could only lose weight after they stopped. So what’s the deal? For the record I was overweight before getting pregnant so overall I need to lose 30 lbs, but I’ll start with ten. I have downloaded the lose it app :)
