2.5 months in and ZERO weight loss?! Is it the SSRIs?

24F here. 70kg. Height: 165cm/5”5. GW: 64kg

For 3 months now I’ve been doing at least a 30-40 min HIIT workout daily and I have been counting calories, aiming at around 1400 daily. Yet I am still 70kg today.

I do notice subtle differences through progress pics - I look more toned and my waist is an inch smaller, but SURELY I should have lost weight by now.

Last summer I did similar and the KGs disappeared so quickly. The only difference a year later is that I’m on anti depressants. Anyone have any experience of aiming for weight loss while on SSRIs?

I’m so disheartened but I’m clutching to find inspiration as I’m enjoying working out so much.

How do you deal with arm loose skin after weight loss?

Hello,

F24 here.

I used to be overweight for a big time of my life, through my teenage years to young adult years. But about two years ago I lost 15kgs and I have maintained that weight off. Now I'm at a weight of 65kg for 165cm.

I overall became much more confident with my body as I work out regularly (weightlifting and resistance training) to build muscles and lose fat. However, I noticed no amount of workouts gets rid of my loose arms. I only realized now that it is probably loose skin more than it is fat.

I do still have a couple of kilograms of fat I'm hoping to drop off, but I'm still extremely insecure about my arms.

Do you have experience with arm loose skin? Are there any ways to tone these arms without skin removal surgery?

Thank you!

I now have a BMI of 26!

I know this post is a bit early, but I am now officially only 9 lbs/4 kg overweight! To be honest, my weight has been all over the place.

I started out as a normal kid. Because my mom thought my normal weight as fat, my BMI got down to 17 as an older teenager. Anything over 55 kg was fat to her.

I then left her, and my BMI was 20.

Honestly I had no idea how to eat. The reason why I was thin when I was with her was probably due to her forcing me to constantly drink tea and herbal concoctions that made me sick or have diarrhea every single day, along with inconsistent calorie restriction. I was constantly hungry, cold, and my hair was dry and thin.

To combat weight gain when I left her, I began the YEET what I Eat diet, aka bulimia. I also felt out of control with food. I was constantly hungry and didn’t know why. I also began to just not eating at times. I’d eat a lot on one day and then nothing the next to punish myself.

My BMI when I got into a relationship went kind of crazy because I stopped purging (my boyfriend caught me and freaked out).

Also, he would get really worried about me showing any restrictive tendencies at all. His aunt, got weight loss surgery, and is now dying of anorexia. His cousin, is a sickly bulimic/anorexic. He associated my habits with illness.

It got up to 32 (yikes I know) when I decided it was enough and I went on an 600-800 calorie diet for a month, much to the alarm of my boyfriend.

I lost 30 lbs, and my BMI was 28. I maintained that loss for a year. Luckily I didn’t mess myself up by doing that, but I can’t say doing that is healthy.

Last month, I started a 1200 calorie diet. My boyfriend was still worried, but I’ve assured him I’m actually ok this time.

I’ve lost 15 lbs since then and I feel great! I’ve been eating mostly plant foods with some seafood and protein from eggs! I love that I’m not starving. I know this is premature because I’m not a healthy weight quite yet, but it’s an accomplishment to me to lose weight in this way.

I’ve been teaching myself how to eat in a healthy and balanced way as opposed to the wildly unbalanced stimulants, pastries and and fruit diet I grew up with.

Need advice: stuck in a weight plateau

hi there! Im a 20yo guy who was previously 90 kg 172cm (198 lbs 5’8”). Managed to lose weight through a healthier diet, cardio and heading to the gym since last year. Right now I’m 70kg (154 lbs) and i feel good with my progress! My goal is to reach 65kg (143 lbs) by the end of this year.

But for some reason I’ve been stuck at this weight regardless of what i do. I have tried exercising more intensely/frequently, trying out intermittent fasting or tracking my nutritional intake but nothing really helps as I’m just fluctuating around the same weight.

Its been 2 months and I’m starting to feel quite frustrated. Starting to wonder if this is the lowest weight i can manage in order for my body to be healthy. Has anyone here experienced this weight loss plateau? And how did you overcome it?

How do you stop emotional eating while on a weight loss journey?

It usually is because of a bad or long day at work. Most times I don’t care so I literally just binge on whatever. It’s like I can’t control my anxiety in any form of comfort except for eating…because tbh that’s all I use to use in the past to cope. But now with my weight loss journey this has been the hugest issue for me.

When I go to binge after a long day, most times my dinners are not planned ahead of time. I live with other people and the last to come home while dinner is usually about to be or is done. I feel like I’ll never lose weight because of this horrible emotional eating. I deal with lots of anxiety/depression and idk if that’s also the issue. What are your ways of coping?

New to the sub😀

I'm currently 2 months in on my weight loss journey(378->345) but I'm starting to get unfocused. I have been lifting weights off and on since I was 10(I'm 41) and grew to love it..until I stopped 10yrs ago. Through these last two months though I've found the spark again and am falling back in love with it( not cardio though ). My problem is that I'm starting to focus solely on that aspect of my plan and my workouts are getting more and more geared towards hypertrophy) I love reading everything I can about it and taking my own notes for my files especially scientific stuff. So I would love to have credible sources for information I can read about regarding the most efficient way to lose weight (scientifically speaking or just by passionate people) and any advice on maybe meshing weights into my weight loss plan responsibly. I hope that wasn't too confusing...
