How to stop binge-eating + seeking general weight loss advice.

Howdy everyone! 18F at ~185lbs.

I suppose my main issue is that I have a binge-eating problem, likely a coping mechanism developed from poor mental health. I lack self-control when it comes to eating, and my appetite never stops. I’m also not as active as I would like to be.

I need to change my lifestyle and turn things around. I’m entering university this fall, and I have aspirations to travel while still young.

Does anyone have any tips on how to better my cholesterol, and more importantly, gain some self-control over what I eat?

I am newer to Reddit and this topic in general, so please be kind!! Thanks for reading.

Cheap Foldable Bikes For Weight Loss?

Like many others, lockdown hit me hard. Lost my job and for a while I was just home doing nothing, I gained a lot of weight. But I recently started trying to get my shit back together lol. I got myself a decent treadmill and it was working, I was sticking to it. But after a while it started to get really rough on my bones and joints, it's just too uncomfortable for me to use regularly. So I've been looking for another piece of equipment and I have very limited space right now, so these like folding exercise bikes seem perfect. I'm just wondering if they're decent for weight lose. Like a lot of reviews say the resistance levels aren't that good and are way too easy. Being that I'm actively trying to lose weight like I want to push myself a little and ride a little more vigorously. If anyone has used these, do they hold up?

example of the bikes I'm looking at https://www.amazon.com/BARWING-Foldable-Exercise-Stationary-Resistance/dp/B087BLS9RH/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I'm in the middle of gaining all of my weight back and I feel like I can't stop

I've been rubber banding weight loss for as long as I can remember. Going from 260 to 215 and then back to 270 etc. I've lost a lot of weight in the past but last year I hit my highest ever weight of 300+ (I didn't weigh myself because I was self-conscious but I was easily 310). I got all the way down to 230 last November and then lost myself over the winter holidays and have been gaining ever since. I'm currently around 270 and I don't know how to turn this ship around. I saw a post about ADHD medication really helping with weight loss so I've started that journey but if anyone has any helpful tips, I'd love to hear it.

I'm tired of constantly struggling with my weight! Please help!

Hey there fellow redditors, I'm a 15-year-old female who's 4'11 and I weigh 55kg. And I know what you're thinking, "thats not a lot!" - but it is. It probably has something to do with my height, but ever since I can remember I've had a big belly and jiggly thighs, despite being in the average weight range. I've been trying for 2 years straight to lose at least a couple of kg, but to no avail. I'm not allowed to go to the gym, run outside, or even join swim or bike, so I usually just try to put on a workout video and exercise that way. Nevertheless, anything I try just results in me eating a sandwhich in my despair. I'm so extremely frustrated and whats worse is that I've gained a bit of weight!

I see people talking about how happy they are in their weight loss journey, and despite me being happy for them, I can't help but wonder if I'm just incapable of losing weight. Maybe because I'm too lazy and have no self control? Or could it be a health problem? I know my story isn't as tough as many others on this subreddit, but I still feel like so many people are actually getting somewhere while I'm just slowly becoming fatter and fatter. I don't believe I over eat on a regular basis, especially when I'm trying to stick to a diet, but when I genuinely know that there's no point, I can't help but find comfort in food. It's like so bittersweet.

Anyways, enough of me ranting. I'm just curious if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong? Today, I did 100 jumping jacks, 200 jump rope jumps, 100 wall pushups, 50 squats, and a couple of burpees. I only ate an egg with some bread and a banana, yet I still feel like I've gained more weight than I've lost. Maybe I'm not doing enough, or perhaps I have a health problem? Hope someone can help!

I lost a lot of inches!!

Just a quick update. I didn’t measure or anything but I want to soon. Need to find one. Lost one pound but yesterday it was 3 so it’s water weight. Wish I could stay at 281 lol, I’m at 283.

But today I noticed how much my chest shrunk!! It was almost all the way down to my stomach, and as a woman that’s VERY uncomfortable. It hurt my back, and I could barely walk for a long period of time. Now I can thankfully. Still hurts for a 8 hour shift probably, Which I hope to be working very soon. I wish my chest was smaller and the weight was in my stomach like everyone else, it would be a lot easier and faster. I’d be at 250 all along, Cause it added about 20 lbs on my chest.

But anyway, I’m so happy with my progress even if it’s inches! I look better and thinner, Even in my chest, I’m happy when I look in the mirror! Thank god, Because before I was so depressed every time I did. Such a difference from June 2nd to today! (June 19th)

I am on a 30 day break from social media (Reddit too starting tomorrow) and I will be doing yoga and Pilates every single day, I tried to make myself stretch every morning and I saw results within 2 weeks! That was a while ago back in May, So I can’t wait to see my results in June/July. My last post was so negative but trying to have a better mindset on my weight loss journey. Because if you stick to the negatives it will never work. You’ll want to give up. But that’s the good thing- I will NEVER want to give up, And I see myself with a healthier lifestyle for the rest of my life. I will keep looking up new recipes to try, I already tried something new (that I already had in the freezer!) I had Gardein ground beef, (They used ground turkey) With frozen peppers and mozzarella, a little bit of ranch and it was like a hamburger casserole to me! I highly recommend it for lunch. I found this from Rachel Aust!

Question on dieting for weight loss?

I am a 5’7 21 year old male who weighs approximately 210-215 pounds. I’ve gained 65 pounds in 3 years and want to lose weight and get back down to 160ish.

Im tired of looking fat and have acquired hella stretch marks and want to feel better about myself and finally have decided that now is the time. Exercising for me isn’t an issue, it’s mainly going to be how and what I eat. I’ve been looking into meal prepping but don’t really know what is healthy as in meats, grains, etc.

For breakfast I eat cereal, mainly Cheerios with some milk. I regularly drink water throughout the day as well. For lunch I eat a granola bar, banana, pbj sandwich, and some triscuits. For dinner I would probably plan on meal prepping but as of right now I just grab what ever is in my freezer.

Anyone got some good recipes and/or tips and tricks on how and what to meal prep for dinner?

I’m scared of moving abroad! Help me!!

Hi everyone! I’ve been doing cico almost for three months and lost around 8 kgs so far. It’s slower than I expected but I’m not very strict with my diet so I understand. Especially since I binge when I’m stressed and I had many of these in the last few months. So, I’ll be moving to US soon and this move is making me SUPER nervous!! I’ve never been to America and everything about this move is making me stressed! I’m afraid of feeling lonely & depressed and start binging on chocolate. I’m also afraid of not being able to regulate my meals immediately and lose my control. Then of course binging and gaining all the weight back!

Guys I’d love to hear your advice/opinions on this! I’d be thrilled if people who went through such a change in the middle of their weight loss journey can comment! But I’d love to hear any helpful ideas!
