7.8 lbs in a month...

Gain. Yep, that's right. I gained nearly 8 lbs in the last 4 weeks.

March of 2021 I started my weight loss journey. It took 43 weeks to drop 40 lbs to my goal weight that I've been maintaining for the past 6 months.

Normally I'd be pretty upset with this gain. However, it really makes sense. I stopped tracking every single gram of food these past few weeks. I've been drinking more alcohol. It's hot as balls out, and I haven't gotten up early to go hike and run.

And it all shows. So, back to tracking on the spreadsheet. Back to being mindful and focused. This 8 lbs will be gone as quickly as it came on. I suppose it really just shows how accurately CICO works (in either direction).

Happy Sunday. Stay motivated, my friends.

How to stop flipflopping on weight loss?

I have successfully lost weight several times last 4 years and in a dramatic very fast fashion. First time i lost 20kg in 5 months, second one lost 13kg in 3 months. and some more weight loss in between. Each one of those I've reached my goal weight. But then after a couple of months i go back to not minding my food and gain some of the weight back. But...i enjoy it? I like food, i like going out with people to eat. I genuinely enjoy it and I honestly don't mind being a bit chubby for a few months. Is this ok? Should I be worried about this mindset? Each weight loss journey it sometimes gets a little harder to start. I genuinely enjoy crash dieting because I treat it like a game like how fast can i reach my goal weight.

I've lost 91 (367-276) pounds last year but I'm still around 50 pounds shy of my goal and losing weight is so slow compared to last year it just kinda blows how hard it can be and I wish I never ballooned up to this weight as a kid

It's crazy how far I've come and yet I'm still so angry over my weight and how hard it's been to lose it

What can I do to feel better about my body while I'm working on it.

And for anyone whose been in a similar boat as mine what was your weight loss like around this weight and how'd it pan out

I know I'm obviously not doing the best humanly possible job as anyone can lose alot of weight fast if they make it their whole life, but any good half way tips?

Anyone start heavy, lose a ton, and then gain it back? How do you keep it together mentally?

I think I started weight loss back in 2015, 300lb. Lost 150lb in 3 years and maintained for about 2 years. 2020 when Covid came around I took a leave of absence from work and just chilled at home for a few months. During that time I probably gained 20lb, maybe getting to around 180. Went back to work, and my coworker who was like a mom to me was brutally assaulted and suffered a TBI, never came back to work. That sent me into a really deep depression, and I just started self soothing with food. Then I began sort of dating my roommate (my first “girlfriend”), and I got really comfortable and I put on some serious weight. Mixed in there were a bout of SSRIs and my appetite only increased. Ever since covid started I’ve just been gradually putting on weight with no end in sight. I’m terrified of stepping on a scale, and haven’t weighed myself since probably 190lb. If I had to guess I’m probably 250-260 as of writing. I went from wearing small shirts to 2xl and unable to find a pair of jeans to fit around my waist my stomach is so big. I feel like a failure constantly, and I self medicate with more food and then feel shitty. It’s been so long since I was this weight I forgot how bad of a vicious cycle it was. I hate it, I cry myself to sleep every night. I want to fix it, but it all just feels pointless. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know how to even get back into the mindset of cutting calories. Shit fucking sucks man

Healthy weight loss after and ED *trigger warning*

So when I was 15, I was at my highest weight of 196.8 lbs. I’m 5’8 and I was terrified of staying fat and became extremely self conscious. I’d always been scared of getting fat, but at almost 200 lbs there was no denying it. So I panicked, I stopped eating and started drinking heavily daily instead and started skipping school and would walk obsessively. Like literally 60km a day. The food I would eat, I would purge. I never became emaciated or anything. But I did get to be 130 lbs in just under 3 months.

I maintained that until grade 12 where I decided I wanted to try to get better and allowed myself to eat and tried to stop purging and did mostly successfully. But I gained weight really quickly and ended up at 150lbs once I left high school. I graduated in 2018 and am 21 now, 170lbs. I’m ashamed and humiliated. I struggle with food but eat when I am hungry and rarely purge. I see my weight steadily climbing back up and I don’t want to become morbidly obese again. But the only way I know how to lose weight is so unhealthy and has damaged my stomach beyond repair.

Has anyone else successfully lost weight in a healthy manner after recovering from an ED? What did you do?

I'm tired of how little time I can spend on walks before feeling extremely tired. Has anyone here gotten a lot more energy or endurance from losing lots of weight?

Within the past few months I've been doing a lot more shopping and going outside, and have been feeling pretty outdoorsy and just felt like talking walks because they feel satisfying. I've had this problem for years where if I take walks or are outside for more than 30-45 mins, I will feel way too tired when I'd come home, and maybe unable to focus and or have pain in my legs.

I think / hope this will be one of the biggest benefits of weight loss, having a lot more energy and able to be active for much longer periods of time without feeling like shit afterwards. I started a keto diet with a caloric deficit (no more than ~1500 cals / day) on 4/21 and am currently at 229-30lbs.

Do I have body dysmorphia?

I'm 19, female, 5'6 and 135 pounds. About a two months ago I went for a consultation with a trainer and took a BMI test, I was told that I am overweight, And since then I felt like all this work I put in was for nothing, I feel like a disgusting fatass and it has absolutely ruined my relationship with food. I've absolutely dreaded eating and when I do eat I look in the mirror and immediately notice that I have gotten bigger. When I am not working, I spend time working out and jogging, and a lot of time checking the mirror to see if I haven't gotten fat. My obsession with weight loss has grown over the past 2 months. And I feel like as much as I work out, watch my eating, fast and live an active lifestyle I just can't loose weight, I stay at around 130-135 lbs. I honestly thought that the weight loss journey would be quick, easy and unnoticeable, but now my family and friends are telling me I have an issue and I need to see a counselor because they think I have body dysmorphia. Now I'm in a sort of paradox because I cannot tell if they are lying and telling me I'm not fat when I am. Or if I'm actually not fat and I'm just driving myself crazy. Regardless of what I do, it's never enough in my mind...
