Some help please.

Ive been struggling a bit with my diet.

I started my weight loss journey in December 2020. My start weight was 70kg (heaviest) current weight (67kg) goal weight 55kg.

I'm writing to this subreddit to ask for advice.

This week I had a bad week. I'm an emotional eater, when I've had a stressful day I eat, i eat when I'm feeling sad or down. So this week was just one of those weeks where I was feeling kind of down and I deviated from my diet.

My normal routine is to make all my meals for the day in the morning snacks included, so that I don't buy take out. Normally I stick to those meals

But this week I found myself eating more than I should and skipping out on excercise. I only excercised on Monday. And I feel kind of shitty about it now.

Fpr those of you that have done this on their own. How did you keep yourself going? Especially in weeks when the mind is particularly weak?

Stuck and feeling really discouraged

Hello!

I (30f) have been using Noom for weight loss since the beginning of January. I've also been doing Yoga with Adriene and talking walks to build up to the C25k app...point is I'm meal planning, and exercising and counting calories, and I've lost a little bit of weight (at most 7lbs), which is great. I am thankful for any drop off. However, I'm stuck at 185. I can't get the scale to go below that number. Every time I hit 185, the next day I bop back up. I know that weight fluctuations are a thing and that it's about ultimate amount of weight lost not how long it takes, but... I weighed myself this morning and was back up to 187 after hitting 185 yesterday.

I'm feeling really discouraged right now and just not sure how to keep going. I haven't done this perfectly, sometimes I mess up and eat the wrong thing or skip yoga for the night, but my tired brain is now wondering if all of this is worth it.

How do I get myself off of this plateau?

Are there any tips that actually work in avoiding loose skin after weight loss?

I’ve read a lot of online articles regarding how to avoid loose skin after weight loss, and to be honest, they seem B.S

They range from using lemon regularly to not losing weight too fast.

I think age and genetics play an important role for the same, but is there anything that we can do to maybe have at least a little better result?

Are there any tips that have worked for you guys? Or is loose skin inevitable?

Little bit about me

I’m male (23) 6’3 and weigh 122 Kgs. I’ve lost a lot weight, around 3 times now but have always gained back, but I never had loose skin.

But the problem is that this time around I gained a significant amount of weight, around 40 Kgs over a period of 2 years, and now I’m really worried that this time I’m gonna pack a lot of loos skin.

I know it doesn’t bother a lot of people but I personally don’t like it and if there’s anything that can be done to avoid it, I want to. But given the vast information on the internet, I’m not sure what’s true and what’s not.

I’m sorry if I didn’t follow your guidelines, although I tried to. This is my first time posting here.

What do you turn to when food is no longer a comfort?

Hi all,

I have been dealing with a strange side effect of weight loss. I have been doing CICO for a while now and with that comes healthier food choices and less sugary and salty foods (At least for myself, I'm not watching sugar or salt that's just how my food choices go now). Anyways, I got to my starting weight ( about 218lbs) because food made me feel better when I was upset. Now, I've lost that drive. My issue is when I am upset, I turn to food but now I no longer feel better from it. My "feel better foods" are usually high calorie, sugary, salty foods that make me feel absolutely sick to my stomach after. I do feel happy that I've broken the emotional eating chain of getting that "food high" and feeling better from food, but now I have no way of dealing with my emotions so I still turn to food but feel even more upset afterward. The salty/sugary/fatty foods don't even taste how I remember them. Has this ever happened to anyone else? What are some things I can turn to when I feel upset/ "starved" for feeling better?

Thanks,

Weight Lifting for weight loss

Hey everyone, Im 6"4 277, I always gain the weight I lost over the summer back in the winter. I usually run but its not easy to do that in the winter. I would go to a gym but I do not want to get sick, maybe this is an excuse but who knows. I lifted weights a few years ago with some results, but overall I'm just a noob and all I know to do is variations of benching curls and deadlifts. I do not have many weights at home but I do have a bench and a curl bar. Can you guys suggest how I could do this? I overall have a lack of discipline obviously, but once I start exercising my eat habits clean up. Thanks!

First doctor visit after committing to weight loss in January.

Today I went to the doctor after starting and I've been anticipating this for a while. I Weighed in which usually I'm not looking forward to, but this time I couldn't wait!

The doctor came in and just said "dude!" and gave me a fist bump. It made me feel like I'm actually progressing. All my numbers for everything have come down to MUCH better levels. He told me to just keep on doing what I'm doing because its working perfectly.

I've tried diets before and I've never really been able to stick to them so this time i just decided to limit my calories to around 1500. Its been working wonders. Using salad as a filler whenever I'm hungry and beef jerky as an occasional snack. I tend to save the first 800-1000 calories for whatever i want to eat for the day.

My plan for now is to start going to the gym once I hit my short term goal of 350 which isn't too far off. I never really did the math but I thought It was going to be a lot farther away! I'm looking forward to hitting it in less than a month!

So I appear to be actually doing it this time, and i want to give thanks to this subreddit for being an inspiration!

18F desperate to lose 100lbs, no luck, seeking advice.

This may be a little long. So to start I gave PCOS and it causes insulin resistance in my case. I was diagnosed at 16. When i hit puberty I started to show signs as it starts within childbearing age. I started to gain over the years and as I'm ashamed to say I'm at my highest weight, 264. I have exercised religiously, taken pills given by a specialist, gotten sick and depressed from the pills, calorie counted. Over and over and over. I feel like I'll never be "normal" again. That doctor told me I'll struggle with weight my whole life. I'll never forget that moment, it stuck with me. I want to shatter those words and fight them, I want to lose the weight and feel beautiful, look beautiful, and be healthy most of all. I have an undiagnosed condition which affects my joints. I'm currently trying to get diagnosed and get help but I feel like im racing against time to lose this weight. I don't want to become immobile, i don't want to become more unhealthy, and unhappy. I don't want my heart to get worse or to have diabetes. (I am at a higher risk for heart disease uterine cancers and diabetes due to PCOS.) My father bought $100 worth of veggie steamers (9oz bags about 150-250 calories a bag.) Along with some simple frozen meals made with weight loss in mind. (Low calorie) i dont eat red meats often at all maybe two to three times a month. Dont consume alot of fish. Turkey and chicken is something i have decent amounts of but not always. I eat my veggies well, I love vegetables I always have. I eat fruits like oranges, strawberries, blackberries, bananas and kiwis. Apples are some of my favorite as well. I was told to start 1400-1500 calories a day by my doctor as well. High intensity exercise can be terrible for a woman with my disease as it releases the stress hormone Cortisol, my diseases enemy. I was told try yoga, try cardio. I'd love to swim but i just can't to swim. Yoga on the other hand i have YouTube and same with cardio. I am 18F and im 5'8 if that helps. I also want to add that i can eat a lot of food because my stomach and brain don't work together well and can't release the hormone that says "stop eating you're getting full" I can't feel full unless lets say, I stuff myself until i want to puke. I just can't. I need help. I'm suffering in this body. ANY TIPS WILL HELP TREMENDOUSLY Thank you.
