Visual Progress

Hello, I have recently started my weight loss journey. I am 18 years old and 278 pounds and 5'8. I started my journey at around 287. I will most likely be town to 277 by the time I reach my three-week mark. I know it is probably too soon to see any, but when can I expect to see any visual progress? I know it can be different for people, I am just curious to hear when other people saw clear visual progress. I think once I see some clear visual progress, it will motivate me 100 times more than I already am.

Losing weight too fast

Hi everyone,

This may seem weird in a subreddit where to help each other achieve our weight loss goals, but I seem to be losing weight at a very, very fast pace. I want to stay healthy and I don't want to exhaust my body, hence why I'm seeking advice today.

I'm a man, 30 years old, my starting weight was 221 lb on Jan. 24th.

This morning, Feb. 18th, I'm at 211.4 lb.

I always weigh myself as soon as I wake up, about once or twice per week. I'm using Myfitnesspal, and I'm at 1650kcal / day. I work a desk job, going to the gym around twice a week, 45 minutes each time.

My macros objectives are around 100g protein/ 55g lipids/ 186g carbs but I usually end up eating more fats than carbs, proportionally.

I am aware that when you embark on a weight loss journey, the first thing you lose is water, but 10lb in barely a month seems big, doesn't it?

Anyways, thanks a lot for your help on this!

Not sure where to go from here

I've been trying to lose weight for a while now and have made v little to no progress. I signed up for fitness classes and have been going sort of consistently (I go 3 times a week usually but not on a regular schedule so my gymming schedule is all over the place). I can definitely see progress in my fitness level since I can run for longer now (used to have the worst endurance on earth!) and I can definitely feel my ab and arm muscles forming. However, the scale is not budging. I just can't seem to get my eating under control. I have good days where I'm pretty good about my CICO, but then the last few days I just went ham and started binge eating.

I think the small change in my lifestyle like going to exercise 3x a week was a good addition to my life, but I'm a little frustrated by my eating habits. I think that is my biggest adversary in this weight loss journey. I'm pretty happy with the gym progress that I can see and feel, but I'm not sure where I should take it from here in terms of losing weight. Should I just keep trying to do CICO? Try something else? I'm just getting a little frustrated with myself and wanted to know what suggestions people might have!

Does anyone know at what point the groin fat disappears.

Hello everyone I am new to the subreddit. I am about 1/3 of the way through my weight loss. I hope this topic isn't too inappropriate (I am not going to any explicit details so don't worry)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways I just wanted to talk about the 'pubic' fat that tends to 'visually' cover my privates at its base. I've noticed that the super-fit male actors in pornography tend to have verrrrry minimal fat around their groin so that everything 'shows out'. I think losing my groin fat will add layers to self-esteem and motivate me even further to straighten my body out.

So far I have lost fat around my face and upper body, I don't I've lost too much from my lower belly area. Now I am kind of wondering that I may never lose the groin fat at all :(

I'd like some good motivating stories/experiences from other people on here!.

I joined the gym but too scared to go.

Hi everyone.

I recently decided to join a gym to help concur my weight loss. I currently tip the scales at 360lbs ( not my heaviest weight) and I’m genuinely really nervous about going to the gym. I suffer with anxiety and have done for most of my life.

I did go to the gym a few years back when I wasn’t as heavy and I enjoyed going. I got into a little routine and it was great but now the thought of me going makes me feel sick.

Maybe I’m worried in case people point and laugh at me or I break some of the equipment I don’t know what it is anyway maybe I need to be told to man up. I’m going to try and go tonight.

I really want to lose this weight.

Thanks for reading.

My first 10lb down and some significant nsv too!!

At the start of febuary I made a choice to not be a stay at home spouse and to enlist (more money to spoil my dog and project cars) I started counting calories not to start a deficit but to see where i was at, i had been eating over 1500 in one meal!!! I started intermitten fasting and was suprised at how easy it was for my lifestyle! I dont see the weight loss yet but... I ran my fastest 10 minutes (0.83 of a mile!) No longer out of breath walking my dog I wore a skirt out for the first time!

10lb isnt a lot (i need to lose about 50 for basic) but i already feel the change and im now kicking myself for letting myself get obese.

Thank you guys for the amazing advice here! Best of luck with your journeys!!

Lost 50% of my body weight (seeking maintenance advice)

So as of yesterday I'm officially half of what I used to be. It took me 22 months, first 6 was really where the most changes happened and then slowly with a few hiccups. Anyways, I am looking for maintenance/ toning advice. My progress is mainly due to diet.

For weight loss: F20, 5"3, 110lbs, -1300kcal, mostly sedentary during the week + around 2hrs/week cycling + around 16 hrs/ week waiting tables

Now with all that I was losing weight (not persistent as in nothing, nothing, boom 4 lbs down) The question is how do I change to maintenance? Should I start at 1500 for a week and see how it goes or perhaps jump straight to 1700? Or maybe something else? I've been on the diet so long I don't want to just "drop" the calories counting just yet, I also don't really have time for gym to tone but would appreciate something I could do at home.

Thank you in advance, x
