Weight loss is not linear..rinse & repeat

One month and 5.8lb down. Am I slightly dissapointed? Yes Will that catapult me into a cycle of self-hatred & binge eating? I definitely hope not.

Started weight training 4 times a week, logging my calories (averaging ~2k per day). I’m f/34/5”11 - I started out at 238.9lb, today I weighed in at 233.6lb. My goal is around 180lb so I’ve got a way to go, but I know the number on the scale isn’t everything. For the first two weeks, I saw the number go up to 240, before eventually starting a decrease again.

I’ve done VLCDs in the past before and I was miserable, but with such a high calorie allowance I haven’t felt restricted so I’m hopeful I’ll be able to continue for longer. Logging was so eye opening - who knew ritz crackers (my “healthy” snack) were so calorie dense?

Posting on here to keep myself accountable, and to celebrate my wins, however small they may be. Onwards and downwards!

Just An Update On progress

i started my journey in mid october my first 10 days or so i lost 10 lbs which i assume was mostly water weight i started at 360 i went down to 348 those first 10 days to 2 weeks Today im sitting at 332.

I went to a doctors appointment last week and they told me my last weigh in i actually weighed 365 so i feel like making great progress, but when the doctor came into the room he just shrugged it off and told me he wanted me to start taking victoza like all that weight loss was nothing. I didnt let it bother me thou

Ive been on a 1200-1500 calorie a day diet i dont eat any rice or spaghetti or chips or soda i eat mostly veggies and either tuna for dinner or a chicken breast. for breakfast i eat a yogurt or 2 hard boiled eggs for a snack if im in the mood ill have 1 oz of popcorn or half an oz of cashews and for lunch ill rotate a few diff lo cal meals.

i do notice now my pants are starting to feel looser around the waist and my shirts are too around my belly but when i look in the mirror i dont look any smaller to me. i guess this will come with time.

thats all i can think of for now ill update again in mid january hopefully i have more good updates to report.

oh btw my starting weight was around 360 today im 332 im 40 and male and 5'6 i dont currently have a target weight

Should i take whey or whey isolate to boost my protein intake?

Hi,

Just started my weight loss journey a week ago, my diet will be somewhat high carbs as i like oatmeal a lot (enough to even eat it plain, made in water with a dash of milk at the end). I bought a body composition scale to track changes (even if absolute measurements aren't accurate). I want to maintain as much muscle mass as possible while losing weight so should i consider buying whey protein or isolate to increase my protein intake? My calorie count hovers around 1500 with my main diet being as follows (open to feedback):

Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, 1 cup of tea (milk, no sugar)
Dinner: 1 cup oatmeal (Cooked in water, dash of milk), 1 cup of tea (milk, no sugar)
Snacks: Nuts, Fruits

Attached are readings from the scale, i take 4-5 throughout the day so that it averages out to a somewhat accurate reading. Kindly guide me how i can retain my muscle mass while losing weight. For exercise, i walk and lift some weights at home.

Starting Weight: 212.3 lbs (96.5 kg) Height: 5'10" Age: 24
Scale Readings of Muscle Mass and Recent Changes

I begin my journey again today! Need help

I am sick and tired of my unhealthy lifestyle. This is not my first time doing this. I usually have stuck around 190lbs. My last weight loss journey I went from 220-180 which didn't take me very long, maybe 2 months? I burn weight very quickly. This journey is going to be a very difficult one I feel because I am now 265lbs looking to get back to 190. (would just like to add I somehow managed to let myself go from 180 to 265 in a year)

I would like some advice on the diet side of things, every time I have cut I would only eat 500 calories a day and spend like an hour heavy lifting in the gym. I want to do it the right way this time. What are some meals you guys like to eat that are healthy and filling?

Any good tips would be great! Also I will continue to update everyone on my progress to show that it is possible and to hold myself accountable!

SV : Under 190 lbs earlier than expected

Hi Loseit!

I haven't posted here in a while.

This morning, I weighed 189.8, first time under 190 since this summer. I hoped to reach that milestone by the end of 2021.

I have been back on track, better than never for the past month or so. I had some positive changes in my life that really helped

I tend to use food as a coping mechanism. Right now, I feel so good that it's not the case.

I probably even need to eat a bit more because I'm losing weight a little bit too fast (2.31 lbs/week according to the Happy Scale app.

I was able to take control 5 years ago and I lost close to 90 lbs in 15 months. You can see my starting weight and lowest adult weight in my flair.

Then, in May 2018 I changed job and schedule and it broke my routine. I wanted to lose another 10-15 lbs, but the weight loss stopped. At least, I was able to maintain for 6 months.

Since December 2018, I had up and downs (in term of weight and mental wellness). But now I'm a more motivated and disciplined than ever!

pretty sure i'm measuring myself wrong

hey everyone! (stats: 21F, 139 lbs/63kg, 5'3"/160cm)

i've been working towards losing the pandemic weight i put on (around 22lbs or 10kg) for around 2 months now, CICO (1300 cals/day) and a combination of cardio (whenever my schedule allows me to lol)/strength training (4x a week). i haven't seen any actual weight loss on the scale as of yet but since i've gone from working/studying from home 24/7 - aka not moving for +10 hours a day, extremely sedentary - to working out almost daily i imagine water retention + muscle repair may account for the plateau i'm currently in.

i've been focusing on taking measurements and progress pics to keep me motivated until the scale actually changes. there have been some minor decreases on some measurements (especially on my thighs, which is the first area i gain/lose weight) but they were SO minor that i can't grasp if they're actually changing or if it's wishful thinking/some unconscious tampering of my doing (like tugging the tape a little bit or inconsistent placement)

thigh -> 24,8in/63cm -> 24,2in/61,5cm

arms -> 11,8in/30cm -> 11,4/29cm

waist -> 0,5cm lost which is negligible in inches

​

can anyone help assess what i'm doing wrong? any tips or ideas are appreciated! thank you so much : )
