Switching from keto to calorie countinf

Sex: male

Age: 19

Weight: 92kg

Height: 6.0ft

I have been doing keto since december and went from 108 to 92kg keto has been good during lockdown but now that gyms have opened I started going again and keto has not been to great at the gym I’m not performing well I feel exhausted after and get lightheaded at times and these things did not happen when I went to gym before keto so I was wondering if I stopped keto and started counting calories only would I gain my weight back or would I be ok? I realise that my weight loss will be slowed down but I don’t mind that aslong as I keep losing weight and my performance has improved

Lost over 80lbs over the last year, and you can too! SW:295 -> CW:215lbs

M24, SW: 295, CW: 215, GW: 180, H: 5’8’’

All my life I’ve been a pretty big kid, from eating all my favorite pastries, deserts and all types of shit, it eventually snowballed into a really unhealthy state of my weight in November 2019. At the start of college I’ve always had a weight around 230-240lbs , still overweight but I was happy where I was. As my engineering college career advanced, so did the stress and the neglect of my dietary habits and before I knew it I was looking into the mirror hating myself at graduation in December 2018

I was 295, had some breathing problems, was entirely sluggish and overall felt tired everyday, just didn’t have energy to do anything productive-day to day.

Then in February 2020 I got into house fire accident where I got partial second degree burns on my right arm and right side of my body. I was completely devastated. Here I am, burnt to a crisp and a big ol fatty, you could’ve thrown me to lion’s den and I’d be the tastiest grilled human ever haha

After the incident, I wanted to have a positive body image about myself, something I’ve never quite afforded myself as a chubby kid all his life. So I went the the gym religiously, followed a Keto-based diet, most if not all carbohydrates i eliminated from my diet, bought a bike during the Pandemic and rode practically 5 miles a day +.

Overall I’m so much more happier as an individual.

-Better Sleep -Better Energy Throughout the Day(No sluggish midday nap needed anymore) -Love Handles are disappearing -Helps with the dating life -Better Immune System( Even with the pandemic, I’ve not gotten sick once during my weight loss journey) -Increased Confidence My favorite -Tons of other benefits!

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is now. The power of now kept me motivated to workout everyday regardless how I felt/what the weather was/ what’s going on.

It’s my hope that sharing with this community can help inspire others as this subreddit has surely kept me going :)

50lbs down, 60+ more to go. Loose skin is already starting, is there anything I should be doing to minimize it?

24 F, I've lost 50lbs over the course of 8ish months, from 275 to 222 this morning. Haven't been exercising because my joints hurt a lot and I am afraid of injury, so all the weight loss has been through cutting how much I eat. I actually properly looked at my body for the first time last night since I started losing weight and I realize everything has gone saggy. My body looks worse now than it did when I started losing weight. I'm not losing weight for health reasons rather than aesthetic reasons so it's not enough to deter me but it is frustrating, especially since I'm so young. Are there any tricks or tips I should be following to help minimize the loose skin?

Reality has set in and I need to make a difference

I've always been a big lad since I was young so I've not really known any difference, but over the lockdown period I've noticed that, that 2xl shirt is feeling a little small so I better get a 3xl. Them 2xl shorts feel a little restricting so I'll just get a 3xl so they are more comfortable.

Those 2xl shirts and shorts use to fit perfectly fine this time last year so I finally thought to my self, it's time to make a difference and take weight lose serious now. I've been doing CICO and intermittent fasting for the past two weeks now but I never dared to weigh my self at the start. These past two weeks I've felt so great, mentally and physically compare to this last year so I finally caved in and bought some scales. I was sick when I stood on them and saw that I was 339 lbs, so I've got no idea what I actually weighed before if I've even lost anything.

I don't want to be set back by this, if anything this has made me more determined to crack on with what I've been doing and now I can actually track weight loss week to week.

I'm going to continue with 1400-1500 calories a day, 16:8 fast and only drinking water/a few sugar free drinks as I've been sticking with it pretty easily so far.

Preventing loose skin

I [25/M] am about 5'6.5", 193lb currently. Technically that makes me obese, which I suppose is the kick in the teeth I needed to start taking weight loss seriously, both for my health and sex appeal (I'm a shy guy and super insecure about my body, trying to get a body I'm not as insecure about, both by losing weight and gaining muscle). I've been overweight most of my life but typically on the lower end of "overweight", gained a bit of weight during covid - I got up to 180lb around last September, and sometime since then got up into the 190lb range.

Ideally I'd want to lose it all fast, like 2-3lb per week or something. Idk I'm impatient I guess. But I'm really worried about ending up with loose skin. At my age / weight is that something I need to worry about or am I worrying about nothing? Should I be taking this 1lb per week or something to minimize chances of ending up with loose skin?

How to help my girlfriend take her weight loss a bit more seriously, and avoid fights.

Hello, my girlfriend and I have both been on a weight loss journey for the last 6 months or so and I've managed to lose and keep off 50lbs so far. My girlfriend has lost around 7lbs during the same time period, I have reiterated that its not a competition or a race but I feel like I am experienced enough now that I can at least offer some solid advice. But the catch is she seems to not actually want to take this advice. I try to keep it really simple like calories in vs calories out, I go to the gym with her and help track her calories but she becomes defensive when I point things out that she should be doing in order to lose the weight she apparently wants. I'm being relatively blunt here but she will regularly complain that she can't lose weight, and then I tell her exactly what the actual issue is and how to address it, but it always just ends up with her saying I'm condescending or even "mansplaining". Its not like I actively point things out at any given moment, I only mention it when she specifically asks me too. I feel like I'm trying my absolute hardest for her and its starting to drag me down being shot down all the time, do you have any advice for how to address this issue?

TLDR: My girlfriend and I have been trying to lose weight however she won't ever take my advice and the conversation always gets shut down. Any advice form you guys will be greatly appreciated.

I don't know where or how to start.

Okay so I'm 17M, about 185 cm and about 132 kg. I want to lose weight so I can feel better about myself and just feel better overall. I have been doing some exercise (playing Ring Fit) because I don't have anything other to do while the world outside is bricks.

Now the biggest contributor to weight loss is the food I eat I understand that much. However I don't know how to go about it. Some veggies and protein I guess but I shouldn't eat processed flour or something? I tried to do some research but my tiny ape brain just doesn't comprehend it very well. Also in theory if I get some ingredients I then don't what to do with them afterwards.

I have tried to lose weight in the past bit never went past a week or so because I lost motivation real quick.

I would appreciate some tips and help on how to get my weight loss journey started and possibly not lose my motivation once I get started since that killed at least 5 tries in the past. Thank you so much.
