I feel so full since I'm eating a very healthy diet, I really need some advice!

I tried to eat more healthy foods since a few years ago, I lost about 20 kg/ 44 lbs over the years mostly with eating healthier and exercising, but I really struggled to find what works for me. Now I know that CICO is what I have to do to lose more weight (I'm 100 kg/ 220 lbs at the moment), so about a few days ago I started to count calories and I eat so healthily, lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and I never ate so much food before in order to reach my calorie goal, what is 1820 calories now. I don't know what to do to not feel so full, I don't want to eat unhealthy foods, just occasionally, but I have to eat so much food now that it's sickening, I can't do this. I would say now that calorie counting is not for me, but when I don't count, some days I eat so little, and a few days later I snack on unhealthy foods, so I really need that guideline that counting calories gives me. I know it's weird that on a weight loss plan my problem is how can I eat less, I hope I'm not alone with that. I write down what I ate yesterday as an example: Breakfast: oatmeal with apple and honey Snacks before lunch: kefir and a banana Lunch: casserole with bulgur, cauliflower, turkey meat and plain yoghurt Dinner: a sandwich from whole-grain bread, tuna cream, cucumber, radish, and I ate some oat cookies too

Thoughts on my weight loss plan?

I am 19, 250lbs, 6’2,

I have been using MFP for tracking my calories in and out. For breakfast, I am having a concoction of oats, cashew milk, yoghurt and raspberries/blueberries in a jar.

For lunch I either have a croissant with turkey or a bowl of Brussels sprouts or chicken and rice.

For dinner I will pretty much have anything as long as it is within a reasonable calorie range.

As for working out, I have been walking on a treadmill for 15 mins at 3.5 mph, and using a rowing machine for another 15 mins at various resistances. On top of that, my Dad and I cycle outdoors for at least 20km, 3 days a week in the warmer months.

I also just got a quick PT job in lumber at a hardware store while Im in Uni, so I think that may also provide some additional exercise.

Anyways, how does this plan sound, any tweaks I should make to the diet or workout routine?

I’m so tired of doing this

Hello all,

First time poster, long time lurker here!

I have been losing and gaining weight for what feels like my entire adult life, and I’m so tired. I’ll spare you all of the details, but most recently, I had lost about 50 pounds through WW (I hope mentioning the program by name is allowed!). This program has always been successful for me for weight loss, but I’ve never been able to maintain weight loss. I’m always either losing or gaining; staying one weight for an extended period of time is a complete mystery to me. Anyway, by 10/2019, I had lost just over 50 pounds, and I had about 30 left to go to get to my goal weight. A bunch of stuff happened re:illnesses and deaths in my family, but I only regained about 8 pounds which was actually not too bad for me. I was still exercising daily for at least 30 minutes, but also stress eating. I was just getting back on track when the pandemic shut everything down, and I lost the gym, my meetings and the ability to freely shop and get what I needed (just like everyone else did). But even then, I at least only regained a few pounds.

But the last few months have been off the rails. I’ve gained almost 15 pounds since thanksgiving, and I feel like I’m floundering. I’ve reached a good place mentally with my weight, and I really really just want to get healthy. My goal weight is 135 (I’m 5’2”) and I’m back to having over 50 pounds to lose.

It just feels so overwhelming and I guess I’m posting here to get some support and ideas for how to change things up.

I’m so tired of having to think about food and what I’m eating ALL THE TIME. I know that this is going to be the rest of my life, and I wish I could find something that didn’t feel like so much work, you know?

Anyway, I’m hoping that putting something out in the universe to internet strangers might help me stay a bit more accountable to myself. Thanks for all of the posts and advice you guys offer, and I’ll keep trying. Even if I just want to fall asleep in a giant burrito ❤️

PSA: You can’t always trust the RDI calculation in food tracking apps!

F23, 5’5”, SW 192.5, CW 183.4, GW 160. I have been tracking my calories since mid January, but have hit a weight loss plateau the last 3 weeks and was getting very frustrated. I track my calories in an app called FatSecret. I’ve used MFP before, but the adds were becoming too annoying for me, so I switched over. Anyway, after inputting my stats in FatSecret, for weight loss it recommends consuming 1700 calories daily. So that’s what I’ve been doing, but not losing weight! So today I went to an online TDEE calculator and low and behold, I should only be eating 1400 to lose 1lb/week. No wonder my progress stalled! Hopefully weight loss picks back up after I drop my calories.

Early stall

Hey y’all! I’m new to this sub and just starting on my weight loss journey. I have an eating disorder called ARFID and it’s dominated my life (25M) and makes it really difficult to lose weight. I’m doing the best I can for now and have been at a deficit for three weeks, drinking close to a gallon of water a day, and have been doing the Insanity program from BeachBody religiously for two weeks. I lost three pounds pretty quickly (what I’m assuming was water weight) but have stalled out this week at that. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight before (10ish years ago) and don’t remember it going like this. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated!

Joint pain due to weight loss?

Hey everyone!

I hope this question is allowed here, but I'm one of those people that decided to work on my weight after new year, though it's the first time I actually stuck to my routine. I dropped over 15kg by now (I think that's about 33 lbs) and am at a weight I haven't been on since middle school (i have always been overweight).

Although I couldn't be happier with the progress, I have come to discover some more unpleasant sides of losing weight, most notably being joint pain. I am an art student and earn my money through commissions. When my wrist started hurting, I assumed it was due to my work overload, as I have been drawing non-stop for the past months. For some reason, I disregarded that the other one hurt too. When the pain extended itself to my elbows, once again I thought I had a bad posture whilst drawing. Then my fingers followed. I kept on blaming it on my excessive drawing schedules. And honestly, it started to get problematic as I found myself getting slower with my work. My joints also started cracking, which is something new. I also dropped my work out routine, such as doing push-ups, to spare my wrists and elbows.

Eventually, I put two and two together when cutting in my exercises and drawing didn't help one bit and my knees started to hurt too. I am not in terrible pain, and nothing is swollen, though. It feels akin to being sore if you have sitten in the same position for too long.

I tried to google the symptoms, but if you look up stuff about joint pain and weight loss, most of the results talk about how weight loss can relieve you from it. As for my diet, I just cut in my kcal intake and started working out. I have always eaten decently healthy, but the main cause of my obesity was the fact I ate giant portions.

My current guess would be that the pain is caused by an unbalanced diet/vitamine deficit. I also take fat burners, so I want to look into if they can have an effect like this on the body... honestly I'm not sure about anything.... Does anyone share this experience and/or knows good sources I could look into?

Thank you for reading! <3

Has anyone ever had a “weight loss buddy”?

My friend D and myself have both been overweight for a long time. Most of our other friend group are thin ladies so she’s the one I’d go to to talk about weight loss and body image issues, and vice versa.

I’ve now been sticking to my weight loss routine for just 8 weeks, but about 4 weeks ago I slipped up and binge ate badly. D and I ended up having a 3 hour long phone call about how we are done being over weight and this time around we are really gonna stick to it and lose weight long term.

We spoke about our plans, how we’d execute them, healthy dinners to cook on our next girls night, joining a gym together, all that jazz. We promised to encourage each other every step of the way and not let each other give up.

A couple days after the long phone call we hung out with a group of our friends and told each other “remember to stay on track tonight even if it’s hard! we’ll help each other!” but D did not stay on track and I did not help her that night. She asked me if I would judge her if she ordered unhealthy food, and I would never judge my friends so I told her no, I would not.

She has since texted me many times about how she will never lose weight, she can’t do it, it’s useless. I feel guilty for not helping her as much as I promised to but I feel uncomfortable telling my friends “you shouldn’t be eating that”.

Has anyone else ever struggled with this?
