I finally fit into a size 14

For the last year or two I have been wearing a UK size 16/18 in trousers. For Christmas my mum bought me a pair of joggers sized 16 and when I tried them on they fit but they were snug. They weren’t baggy and there wasn’t much leg room. But I kept them with the intention that they’d get loser when I started my weight loss journey. A days ago I wore them and my grandmother kept commenting on how they were way too big for me, there was so much leg room in them. So yesterday we went shopping and I got the exact same pair of joggers but in a size 14 and I tried them on this morning and they fit! And they even had leg room! I’m so happy :)

Gaining weight after switching to sugar free products?

Hello! Quick background about me is I live a fairly sedentary lifestyle with the exception of a few days a week. I’ve had my gallbladder removed 7 year ago and have cut some fat out of my diet to help with this.

My concern right now is my current weight and how I can start losing weight. I’m currently 5’2, and about 170 pounds. I’ve made decisions lately such as switching nearly all snacks to veggies, cooking more vegetables with my meals, switching to leaner meats,and switching to diet pop and sugar free drinks. In the past week of this cycle, I have gained 4 pounds and do not understand why. My overall calorie intake is lower than before but the number keeps going up. What other changes can I make to start seeing weight loss.

Back on the wagon

Age: 32(F) Height: 5’2 CW: 201lbs

Hey all, just posting here for some accountability and some encouragement I guess.

I’ve been on a weight loss journey most of my adult life, with varying success but ultimately I always end up regaining anything I’ve lost.

I am dealing with the aftermath of a break-up currently and I’ve found that hitting the gym has been a good focus for me and the motivation to finally shed this weight is greater than ever!

At first it was a sort of “I’ll show him/revenge body” sort of motivation, but I’ve since realised that it wouldn’t make the blindest bit of difference to him anyways, but I might as well do it for myself because that’s more important.

I’m about 5lbs down in the last few weeks and I hope to continue to post updates here as I go along.

Thanks for reading and good luck everyone. :)

Moving my diet from weight loss to training for a 10k

Hi all. Since the start of the year I've been Calorie Counting + Fasting for the most part.

1st Jan: 266Lbs.

28th May: 241.2Lbs (Last weigh in)

The way I've gone about my weight loss is purely looking at calories and increasing my exercise by walking. So my current calorie goal is 1980 and I usually get in 50-100 calories worth of walking/exercise each weekday. I also fast and only eat from 11:15AM - 7:15PM (16Hours) so this only really limits me to two hearty meals each day.

However, my circumstances are changing and I feel I need to change my diet to reflect that but I'm not too sure how to go about it. The change is that I've signed myself up for 10k which happens in just under 4 months time. So I have got the time to amend my diet and get some training in.

How should I go about setting up my macros etc.?

Also, I'm planning on training for my runs around midday so what should I be eating for breakfast so that it doesn't bog me down? I'm assuming some type of smoothie?

And finally, what about after my run? Something with a High:Low ratio of Carbs:Protien?

My "trouble" meal is dinner which sucks.

So I've been trying to lose weight for years like many on here and I think I've realized that, in my ideal eating world, I wouldn't eat dinner most nights. I would have breakfast, a light lunch, a heavy snack (essentially another meal) in the late afternoon, then MAYBE a light snack after 6PM, but I wouldn't have a "proper" dinner at all. I've tried to not snack but if I do that I over eat at dinner massively, and if I DO snack in the afternoon then eat dinner I overeat a little which is fine for maintenance but terrible for weight loss.

The problem is that that means if I'm EVER in social situations I have to either be a weirdo that doesn't eat or just eat and possibly blow my calories because I ALWAYS eat too much at dinner. Now every now and then that's fine but I also love cooking and dinner is prime cooking time.

I don't really have a point to all this I just needed to get it off my chest and hopefully other people feel the same way.

15.7 weeks, 15.8 kg Day 1

Hello all. I started my weight loss around 3 years or so ago at the measured weight of 126.7kg, though I think I was heavier before that. I got down to 94.3kg at the beginning of the year but am now back up to 101.8kg (just under 224lbs or a touch under 16 stones).

My aim is to get to 85kg by my (47th) birthday and a healthy BMI of 25 (sub 88kg) which is just under 16 weeks away for just under 16kg so a kg or just under 2lbs a week.

The plan to do this is quite simple. Better sleep, drink more water, improve my baseline activity (15-20k steps), eat more healthily and reduce the junk and eat at a slight calorific deficit. Also I plan to implement some gym work and cardio with a focus on weight loss only (though the increase in fitness levels will be welcome too).

Other benefits I would like are improvement in breathing (slight asthmatic) and skin (eczema and dermititis - I know I'm a catch right?).

My non-weight goal is to climb one of the 3 peaks each summer here in the UK before each of my next birthdays. This year I would like to walk up to the top of Mount Snowdon in Wales.
