I need advice I’m gaining weight at a rapid speed

So to start i went to the doctor today and i got weighed my weight loss goal is 134 pounds it feels so far away from where i am now which is a 530 pound 5 ft 4 woman. I feel that I’m gaining weight at a rapid speed because 3 months ago i was 496 pounds and i gained 24 pounds in only 3 months! I just know i need to change I’m so tired of my back hurting and running out of breath easily even my desk job is getting affected by it! I can just say I’m happy with being this size but it would be lying. One of the worst parts is that all my weight transfers to my belly which is super difficult to lug around a almost 2 foot long tummy around. I know what to do but i need guidance and i hope this community can help me. Thank you 🙏

i’m scared of “phantom calories”

m21, 185 pounds, 6’0 for reference

i didn’t know how else to describe them, so i went with “phantom calories” to get us in the spooky mood. ive been dieting and losing weight since january this year and have lost about 110 pounds, but i’m still scared that ill log my food wrong and overeat accidentally.

i even use a food scale and measure everything by gram (unless i eat the whole container, like those pre-packaged protein drinks or a whole can of fish, then i just log the whole container).

despite weighing everything, i’m worried that i’m going to mess up and weigh something wrong. or, more frighteningly, ive heard that calorie amounts can be off by more than you’d think. i have no reason to worry that this is happening. ive been consistently losing weight this entire time, but im still worried that my weight loss might stall because i chronically eat something that has a mislabeled calorie amount.

i kinda wrote this to vent about what’s going on inside my head, but if anyone has some advice or reassurance or info about how nutrition facts are labeled in the us, i’d appreciate it.

Positive Approach to losing weight

Hey everyone, I hope you all are doing well. So recently I've wanted to get back on the weight loss goal that I set, but couldn't do because of two waves of the pandemic in my country and various other reasons. I wanted to start a healthy habit that continues in 2022 and not make it a new year's resolution that I end up failing

The first time I lost weight at 19, I didn't really make sustainable habits and lost 30kg, but I would constantly beat myself up for eating so much, be happy for starving myself and got into self harm and in short depression and the need to be judged on the on my weight really caused me to drastic steps to lose weight.

I'm currently 23 years old and at 110Kg (242 Pounds) and would like to go down to 100-102 Kg (220-224 pounds) by the year end. I'm currently in a better place mentally, but this time I want to lose weight sustainably and would need your help in doing so. I've associated weight loss with a negative mindset because of my past experience and would like to know some positive approaches I can take when I fall off track with my diet plan.

PS. My body image of myself is positive and my health is one area I'm looking at improving to bring changes to my life.

I do what I can but I don’t know if it’s enough

Hi, I guess I’m just looking for some advice. I (24f) will be having weight loss surgery here in a few months. I currently weigh 360 (down 14!) In the meantime, my dr has put me on a couple of medications to help with my appetite. I have been doing well with watching what I eat, but I work at a hospital and work long crazy hours. I don’t really get to go to the gym and have focused workout time. I can usually go if I work less than 10 hours, but that will largely be unlikely in November as we’ve have two people quit in the same week, and I already was covering most of the weekend shots as well. I guess I’m just lost. We’re so short staffed where I work, and I’m terrified that if I can’t meet my pre-surgery goal of 30 minutes of cardio 4 days a week, I can’t get the surgery.

Please help. Any advice, words of encouragement, anything.

Edit: the 30 minutes has to be continuous

LoseIt calorie limit seems to high combined with active energy from Apple Watch

I have my Apple Watch synced to lose it! and my weight loss plan set to sedentary (work from home with light Pilates during the week and hiking on weekends) and losing 2lbs per week (female/35yo).

My calorie limit from lose it is 1432kcal/day, which sounds fine if I’m trying to lose quickly. However, I also have my Apple Watch synced which will add about 500 calories per day from “Active Energy” even if I’m not exercising.

The catch is I also know from experience that I have a low metabolism and that if I eat close to 2k a day then I will not lose weight, even with moderate exercise. How can I modify either the active energy settings or lose it calories so I have a better idea of what my calorie limit actually needs to be? I know I can’t choose to eliminate the active energy calories completely, but they seem very high for my activity level.

Weight loss, and physical/mental health

This is going to be a rambly one, you've been warned.

At 250lb I was seeing my doctor for various health issues, both physical and mental, my doctor put a lot of it down to my weight. Yes, I was obese, but not morbidly obese, I never felt like my weight was much of a problem. 50lb lighter, now almost at 200lb, my physical health is worse than ever, my mental health feels as if it's getting worse by the day.

I have trust issues from being cheated on after a 6 or so year long relationship, and it effects every aspect of my life. I've said it before, but at the beginning of my weight loss journey, I had a vision of myself, at my goal weight (183lb), with significantly less physical health issues, and an improved mental well-being. Now I'm so close to that goal, I know that's not going to happen.

I get therapy, but only two sessions a month, as that's all I can afford. I haven't been able to make a new friend in years, and I'm starting to push people further and further away from me. Even though the doctors still don't take me seriously, it's nice to not feel disgusted when I see my reflection anymore, at least most the time anyway.

Thank you for reading the rambly rambles of a madman 🙏
