Start of my weight loss journey June 1st

Hello all.

I must say for a while now I've done research on myself mentally and physically and have come to the conclusion I need help.

I'm going to start getting my life in order and become a healthier stronger and better man than I ever was.

I will eat many vegetables and fruits and drink water alot and take my dogs on walks more often and exercise and use my boxing kits.

I have alot of rolls on my stomach. My body shape is quite weird and super curvy and quite huge. My balance is terrible and clumsy.

I can barely do any sports or really go outside often

But all that starts today.

Can someone link me some fitness and motivational videos please I would appreciate it.

Thank you

Does anyone else expect to see their starting weight on the scale after a bad day?

23F/5’5”/304.4lbs(SW 337.9lbs) I’ve been really lucky this time, usually when I lose weight it lasts a week until a craving hits and I’m derailed. I’ve managed to stay motivated since March 12th and have lost over 30 pounds. Even on my “cheat days” it’s really just a cheat meal and I always make it fit into my calories. But for some reason after a bad meal I always flinch when I step onto the scale, expecting this astronomical number close to my starting weight. Yesterday was my first huge unapologetic cheat meal, we ordered from Chuys for lunch and I ate it all. I had a shake for dinner but still for some reason this morning I panicked stepping on the scale, expecting that 337.9 or worse. And yet, it said 305.2, not even a full pound. Anyway, maybe this is a dumb thing I do. But I was wondering if anyone else did things like this, or even just found their weight loss unbelievable in general.

30 Day Accountability Challenge - June Sign Ups!

Hello lovely losers & fluffy monsters,

A new month & new Daily Accountability Challenge!

For the newbies to the sub reddit, please start here, so much good info!

https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/wiki/quick_start_guide

https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/wiki/faq

And hey, maybe it’s not a bad idea to review them anyway to you returning conquerors. I do occasionally to remind myself of the basics.

Here’s what we do in the DAC my friends!

This is the sign up post to outline your goals, weight loss, self care, creative, whatever keeps your motor going my friends.

There will be a daily update post for you to chime in about how day whatever is going!

At the end of the month, there is a wrap up post to reflect on the progress you made or didn’t make & what you learned. Learning is progress my friends!

We try to foster a supportive, caring place to discuss the actual day to day of deficits & counting & caring so much about how we fuel our bodies & lives. So be kind, interact if you like & hopefully you feel supported by the internet version of a push up bra!

Leading by example, here I go!

Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight):

Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): I'd like to do better here this month.

Exercise 5 days a week: I’m pretty good about this but want to chase a higher intensity. X/X days.

Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing X/X days): Very important business here!

Try a new recipe once a week: Any suggestions? I meal prep religiously with my crock-pot & occasionally have to feed 2-5 people so I’m open to whatever. X/5 weeks.

50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Slogging through this very informational book. It’s brutal in some places but I highly recommend it kids. X/50 pages.

No fast food, candy from the work dish or Starbucks: I’ll be tracking the streak here because I think that will be motivating. Day 1 will actually be streak day 6.

Listen to my effing body: Nuff said.

Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: Keeps me grounded & in a happier mental space.

Your turn my friends! Here's to June!

Lost my quarantine weight AND ran 3.5 miles today!

Today doesn’t feel real! I am 7 pounds down in the last 30 days and I ran 3.5 miles for the first time in my life. In March-April/during quarantine, I gained 5 pounds from stress eating despite extra walking with my free time. Today, I weighed in 2 pounds less than I did before quarantine. My starting weight was 181 pounds in November 2019 and I’m now 157, at 5’4” and 30 years old—my goal is 140. I had hit a plateau before quarantine and losing the weight was difficult even when I restarted my efforts. I was only losing a little over a pound a week, finding it difficult to eat less than 1500 calories per day. I think the biggest jump in my weight loss was running because I have lost 3 pounds in the last week. This past week it was raining so I decided to give running inside a shot. I have never been able to run for more than 2-3 minutes without losing my breath, even at a very slow pace. But somehow now I can run a 10.5 minute mile straight through! Whattttt!!! I have no idea where I got the ability or confidence to run but I am so elated that I could seamlessly transition from walking to running. If you had told me this was possible even the day before I tried, I wouldn’t have believed it. What goals have you surprised yourself by hitting?

Next month marks 1 year since life changing surgery... I want to celebrate by running my first 5k... not much but a start, anyone want to virtually cheer me on?

Hang on with me guys because it’s a bit of a story time... but I love reading about other folks journeys to heath and mine has been a bloody battle. On the 2nd July of last year, I had surgery to remove a disease (severe endometriosis) that had left me bed bound, utterly unable to move and dependant on morphine to get through the day... my organs had begun to fuse to one another and twist and basically run fucking riot instead of staying put. It was a pretty scary operation and I lost part of my bladder, part of my bowel and suffered a perforated uterus... but for the first time in YEARS I started to have pain free days. I was liberated and realised that moving my body was cathartic... it’s taken about 8 months of healing and all the awful medication I was on to leave my system and I’m finally seeing results with my weight loss and health plan. For me it’s a joy and a privilege to be able to move my body freely and without fear of pain. It’s enough to bring me to tears. 1 year ago I had to quit my job, I used a walking stick on the rare occasions that I could leave my bed and I had to make peace with the idea of that just being how it was for me. I got a brand new specialist and he changed it all for me.

To celebrate the anniversary of my surgery I’m planning on running a quick little 5k and I wanted to share my plan in case anyone wanted to virtually join me to say fuck you to endometriosis and fuck you to any chronic condition that might be getting you down! I was thinking that we set a time on the 2nd of July to run and feel the freedom and strength that comes from just getting out there and moving our arses! Pound the pavement for nothing more than proving our ability to do it. I lived a small, isolated life while I was sick, just focused on getting through each day. If we plan a run together, it helps my world feel bigger and better than I ever could have imagined!

Lil progress pic cos I’m so proud of myself and so proud of my body that once felt so irrevocably broken
