I'm usually good at being positive about weight fluctuations, but I'm so frustrated right now

F/ 170cm (5' 7")/ SW: 90kg (198lbs) CW: 77.9kg (172lbs) GW: 70kg (154lbs)

I hit my penultimate weight loss milestone (75kg) in August, but since then I've fluctuated between 76kg and 80kg. I've been good with not feeling disappointed cus I actively took a break from tracking for a while, so I'm not surprised I didn't stay at 75kg. But since getting back into tracking, I'm still fluctuating in a way I didn't use to, and I don't know what to do😭

I'm thinking of returning to weekly weigh-ins instead of daily ones and taking a mini maintenance break (like 3 days) in a bid to calm down from my frustration, but I don't know what else I could/should do

15M struggling to lose weight

Hi! 15M, 177cm tall, 104kg weight

To preface this, I used to be pretty skinny back in 2014 when I was 7, it kind of started going downhill in the latter stages when I was 8. From there it all sort of went downhill.

I put on a fair bit of weight, I don't have much progress but I had a couple growth spurts so I don't look nearly as bad as I feel I did before, but I'm having trouble dropping off a few more kgs.

I have big moobs, and a pretty large tummy as well. I'm not really good at figuring out this kind of thing so I wanted to come here to ask for nutrition/weight loss advice, my brother told me to calculate my BMR and then eat 200 calories below that, and while that may be good advice, tracking food becomes difficult as there aren't many ways that I know how to record the amount of calories I'm taking in, especially when meals have been cooked and everything is mixed together.

I don't really know what to do about this, I'm really uncomfortable with my appearance, I have a pretty good build it's just the weight that I'm unhappy with.

Does anyone know where I can get started and what I should do?

Looking to lose the first 50 lbs!

27F SW: 301 GW: 250/200

I’m so ready to keep going with my fitness and weight loss journey! So far so good with meal prepping for two weeks this month, But I was starving for almost a week. All good now and going shopping again tomorrow. I’ll be meal prepping again this weekend so I’ll be sticking to 1,500 calories. My normal is 1,600 but I felt like I was maintaining my weight.

I always lose the first 30-40 lbs and I am making it a goal this year to lose 50 and keep it off! My lowest was 260 last January so I’d like to get back to that. I’m thinking I MIGHT start keto to jump start my weight loss and I normally do low carb. I am also working out at least 3 times a week at home and getting back to the gym in the morning! (If it doesn’t snow)

How did you lose your first 50 lbs?

What helped you overcome emotional eating?

Hi all. I (25F) have noticed many people here can attribute their weight loss to seeing a therapist and overcoming some mental issues or blockers that have been impacting their habits. I believe that I have a couple of those to overcome as well. Mainly, emotional eating. I eat when I’m sad, seeking comfort, and stressed. I know that the best resource would be for me to talk to a therapist, and I know that everyone has their own journey and relationship with food.

But I am curious what some of your most effective strategies are to curb emotional eating? Whether it be practical actions to take when that feeling hits, or mindset shifts, or additional habits (like journaling and what specifically to journal).

Thank you!

Is this healthy or unhealthy weight loss?

I am a 19 year old male that has just recently started attempting to lose weight. I workout 5-6 days a week and eat around 2000 cal per day. I mix weight lifting with cardio. I started at 249 and am currently around 241. The thing is, I’ve been losing 0.5-1.0lbs a day. I know the recommendation is to lose 1-2lbs a week, but I’ve been doing this for a while now and I feel absolutely fine. I’d like to hear some input on this …

NSV, fit into a size small pants for the first time in well, ever

I’m usually just a lurker but I can’t keep this one to myself, I was trying on pants today and asked the associate for a medium (which I was already proud of wearing) but it was too baggy. She brought me a small and it fit perfect, she even said it looked a lot better on me. I really needed this today, I’ve been disappointed in my weight loss since I had to start maintaining after mental health issues, but this is proof I’m going the right direction. I’m also taking this as a sign to focus less on the scale, how my clothes fit matters just as much. I’m still hoping to get back on track with my calorie deficit and lower my sugar intake but I’ll take this sort of thing where I can get it. Happy weight loss friends, thanks for reading and for all the support this sub provides!

Loose Skin concerns

Im really sort of devastated to find myself weighing 100kg, after some very difficult times when I didnt take care of myself. Im 173cm tall, 25 yo, and Id need to lose about 27 kilos just to have a healthy bmi. Ive never smoked and I dont drink, also never tan. Im not in a rush. Im wondering if Im doomed with my skin after the weight loss. I know it sounds strange but, I dont know if I can handle that. Any advice?
