I lost 12 kg in 7 month

I was always normal weight (even though I always felt a bit overweight) It got really bad when I was 16, started taking the pill and switched schools.

In one year I gained 10 kg.

I had my breasts reduction scheduled and three days before, my doctor told me that I was a higher risk of infection because I gained weight.

I was 17 back then and my parents told me that I should loose weight and then we can reschedule the surgery.

And I cried and cried and cried, till they allowed it (not only because of the crying, but because I was almost an adult and because I would have probably never forgave them)

After 2kg of breast reduced I felt like the high of my life. Summer 2020, my country had covid in control I could travel and I was feeling good. My parents still wanted me to loose weight but I liked my body how it was. I thought that I felt good inside of me.

Something clicked in fall 2020 inside of me. I started weight watchers and gym and I lost kilo after kilo.

I didn't really saw the results until the first person commented on it.

It was hard, I love pasta, but now I only eat it once or twice a month.

Sometimes I got chocolate, chips, chocolate pudding and cookies for one lunch and I was still hungry after!

Now seven month later, I realized that I am now so much more comfortable in my body.

I feel truly amazing. And every comment on my weight loss makes me shine!

I am down 2 pants sizes and I actually enjoy eating now so much more!

I just want to share this to inspire others, loosing weight shouldn't be your focus, feeling good in your body should be!

If you need a sign to start (again) take this as sign:)

Here is a before Vs after picture: before and after

5,5 women who are 140 pounds, how do you feel?

Hey guys!

Now before I get started on this post I just wanted to clarify something. I know that whilst on a weight loss journey you should never compare yourself to anyone else as every body is so different and holds fat in different places. However, I just wanted to ask how you girls out there feel if you’re 5,5 and weigh 140lbs? I’ve been on my weight loss journey for 5 ish months and I’m down from 176 pounds to 153 pounds. My goal weight is 140 pounds. I have quite a naturally curvy build, not quite an hour glass yet but also not exactly pear as I don’t have that big of hips or a big bum, though I store a lot of my fat in my thighs and my stomach. Of course, I don’t know yet what I will be like at 140lbs, I might feel great or still have some belly fat and thigh fat and may want to get to 126lbs which is like the happy medium for my height (140 is on the higher end of a healthy bmi). So if you have these measurements, how do you feel and look at that weight? Do you have a flattish stomach? Did your thighs slim down? Thanks for your help, you’re all great! :)

Weight Loss Plateau PSA

Hi all, first time poster here and I couldn't really find a post about this so I feel the need to share.

A little background, I have lost 32 out of 50 pounds so far with CICO and exercise over the course of 7 months. I purchased a scale to do weekly weigh-ins and just check my overall progress. Things are going great for the first 6 months, and then last month I hit a wall. Plateaued at 170 despite sticking to a calorie deficit and regularly exercising.

Until this morning, I was VERY confused and disappointed that I was seeing no progress (scale or non-scale) because I knew I wasn't eating at maintenance or over. I scrolled through different Reddit posts about plateaus and FAQs, and spent my afternoon watching videos on Youtube about weight loss plateaus and what to do about it. Most professionals agreed that a 2-3 week plateau is normal, but over a month requires re-evaluating diet, exercise, etc.

I stumbled across an interesting tidbit: if you store your scale vertically (i.e. leaning up against something vs. flat on the ground), you might need to step on the scale a second time to calibrate properly. I STEPPED ON THE SCALE THIS MORNING A SECOND TIME AND I HAD LOST 5 POUNDS FROM MY LAST WEIGH-IN FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK.

All my disappointment and confusion disappeared. So, if you're not seeing any scale movement despite sticking to a routine, check to see if your scale is properly calibrated. Yes, I know that not all scales are accurate and weight can fluctuate for many reasons, but it might be an easy fix. It was for me. I hope everyone has success on their journey!

Opinions on IF?

Hey guys! First time poster but I’ve been following this subreddit to help keep me on track for my weight loss journey. My boyfriend and myself currently do CICO and think it’s great but I do have some issues with having such a low calorie intake that I find it difficult to have meals plus snacks and keep below it(I manage it! It’s just a struggle) so I’m considering doing intermittent fasting. Wondering what people’s opinions on it are? Is it helpful? Does it help with snacking urges? Easier to be better with food? Or is it a pain to restrict yourself further when you’re already watching calories?

I've lost nearly 30 pounds, but I still look the same?

Basically what it says in the title. I've (20F) stuck to a 1200 calorie diet and been exercising since the middle of January, which has been been pretty tough-- but I've lost 29 pounds! I'm down from 229 (the heaviest I've ever been, thanks covid) to 200 pounds. Yet, I look exactly the same. My total weight loss goal at the moment is 60 pounds, so I'm now nearly halfway there. But the lack of any real physical difference is a bummer. My parents claim to see a big difference, but I asked two of my friends if they did and they said I look exactly the same as I did before.

I feel so vain, because the main thing I should be working towards is becoming healthier (which I am) and not trying to simply look more attractive. Realistically, though, I am trying to look more attractive, even if I won't openly admit it. I guess I'm now feeling a bit demotivated-- I'm worried that when I lose the rest of the weight, I'll still look the damn same. I just want to look in the mirror and not feel that prickle of revulsion. Any advice on getting more motivated?

First ever "Binge eat" today, dealing with it.

Alright so a bit of background, I am 6 foot 3. I am currently at my target weight after about 6 months work and decided I was going to have a "cheat meal". Now I know some people are against these, but as I have reached my goals I thought i'd treat myself.

Anyway what started as a cheat meal, a 2500 calorie pizza, turned into me eating 3300 calories in total, which is 1700 cals over what I was eating a day to lose weight, or about 500 over my maintenance. Now, I believe it takes 3500 excess calories to gain a pound of fat (Don't quote me on that) and I know eating bad for one day a week compared to rest isn't going to make me overweight over night, just like eating a salad won't make you thin overnight. However I can't get rid of the feeling of guilt. Usually i'd combat this by going to the gym and smashing out some cardio, but they're all closed at the moment.

So how am I going to deal with this? Well I am going to go for a run now, it's later on and I can burn some of the excess calories off with that. I also know some of the weight I will gain will be water weight as I have consumed a lot of sodium. The next thing I will do is work it into my week, I am going to fast tomorrow, so that I can make up about 1500 of the calories, then for the next couple of days after that I am going to eat around 1000 cals. Now I am not sure how unhealthy this is as I have consumed enough today I feel like to keep me going. Then on Friday I can go back to eating pretty normally at my maintenance. Anyway, I would like to hear any suggestions about this, and whether how any of you've ever dealt with a cheat eating day gone wrong. Thanks

​

Edit: I actually ate 3700 cals today, which is a 2200 over my weight loss eating, or 1000 over my maintenance

The lightest I ever remember being.

18F 5’2 SW 193 CW 137 GW 120ish

So today, I weighed myself, and I'm at 137! I wasn't even this light at 12 years old. I'm slowly approaching my goal weight. Once I'm at 120, I will be trying to become toned and build my muscles. I'm very excited that I'm almost at maintaining rather than having to be in a deficit for any longer. I started losing weight in September of 2019, where I lost 10 pounds in a month, but after that, it usually has been a slow but steady pace of losing weight.

I have shorts and pants I bought at work that are goal pants! Some workout biker shorts and my boyfriend's boxers are no longer too tight on the thighs like they were a month ago! I also feel I can exercise for longer, which I think is not just due to me exercising but also due to me not being as heavy.

I have people I have known my whole life saying they don't recognize me. A woman from my church who I have known since I was a baby told my mom she has to do double-takes, that she almost doesn’t even recognize me. I don't have the best relationship with my dad, but my dad had noticed my weight loss and told me good job when I told him I had lost over 50 pounds.

These small victories are great:) I still sometimes feel bad in my body, and how it looks, it's hard not to in times where we can so easily compare ourselves. I may not look like Madison beer, but I have gained discipline and healthy habits through my weight loss, which matters a lot more than how I look.
