What do you do when you're feeling impatient about losing weight?

Long story short, I'm at the heaviest I've been due to a mixture of anti depressants, divorce and other things. I'm a 5ft8 woman at 112kg. Although my lowest weight was still overweight I would give anything to be 85 kg again in a heartbeat.

I'm off the meds and I've started counting calories again, how do you keep motivated and not be disheartened by how slow weight loss takes and just how you look in the mirror? I wish I appreciated how I was when I was smaller and I was so preoccupied with hitting my goal weight that I didn't enjoy being smaller if that makes sense. Sorry if this seems very rambly!

3 successes today :)

Today was kinda of a success but a fail. I ended up not doing my calorie defcit and not exercising I ate 3000 calories today because of a binge. But I'll will just try better tomorrow and try to do better. Lucky 3000 is just around my maintenance so I don't think I will gain any weight on the scale other than water weight.

But according to Research and the Bmi Scale I'm no longer Morbidly Obese :) one step closer to my goal. I so lost 4kgs which was difficult but it only took roughly 3 weeks.

My mother also told me she started to see a weight loss difference in my neck. So that motivated me to keep trying tomorrow. One bad day doesn't cancel out 15 good days :)

7 months, 7kgs down :)

My progress is a lot slower than most on here, but I am still so proud of myself. I've never been so consistant with weight loss in my life.

28F 5"2 SW 84kgs/CW 77kgs. I was stuck on 78kgs for the longest time and just not getting anywhere. But thanks to a big whoosh scale just suddenly dropped by just over 1kg one day. The number has stuck so I know its real, unless my scale is broken lol.

I'm bad at sticking with a deficit for a long time, I start to get super hungry and hard to focus. I might go a week or 10 days in a deficit, then I'll ease up on myself for a few days and eat until I'm full/my body is happy. It's hard weight training and being in a deficit at the same time, but I love that I'm stronger than I've been in years. I don't mind going slower if it means I can keep/build a little muscle. Hopefully I will be strong enough to do a proper push up by the end of the year, but we will see :)

Good luck to everyone on their journey! Keep at it :)

Fun Win in Visualizing the Weight I've Lost :)

Wanted to share this fun win in this sub as it's been so helpful to scroll and lurk here through my journey. :)

The kids and I were preparing for an outing and I had to pack our lunch & supplies in a backpack. Surprised at how heavy it was, I jumped on the scale with it to see it's weight. I was stunned to see that the scale showed a total weight (me+backpack) of what I weighed in back in April! Meaning that the backpack represents exactly the almost 20lbs I have lost since April 😁.

It's tough for me to visualize my weight loss so it was a nice little win. It also really nailed in how much extra weight I was putting on my joints & why exercising was so painful back then. I'm about halfway to goal weight and it feels achievable knowing I've already gotten this far!

Stuck in a rut

Hello,

I am a 26F 205lbs (around 93.2kg) 5' 1".

I am currently at my highest weight and stuck on what to do. I graduated last year and quit the job I had in school that required me to stand all day. By the end of last year, I reached 200lbs when I was previously 185lbs. I did not notice the change at first since I was job hunting for around 7 months and only wore stretchy things and sweats. I am now at a point where I am uncomfortable in my clothing; even if I wear things in a bigger size, it just kind of triggers my anxiety just thinking about it. I am at a point where I now stay in the house all day, have not talked to anyone besides family and coworkers in about 9 months, and feel like I am just wasting my life. I tried dieting before and tend to binge sometimes, but thankfully not as often as over a year ago. I am trying to create a new lifestyle/ plan for myself, but I am stuck on what I should do. I want to do something that works safely but semi-rapidly. I need ideas on good meals and exercises to do in the comfort of my own home since my depression is currently taking me to a low, and I do not want anyone looking at me.

I have tried MyFitnessPal, but logging calories and constantly weighing myself causes me to overthink things and just give up. I am looking for some good tips/ websites to aid in safe weight loss. My current goal is to be at 150-160lbs, and I really would love to have muscle.

I could use some honesty from people who have gone through this mid-weight loss.

So, I've been losing a lot of weight, 55lbs so far over a year, 50 to go, and I have a question. Most of my skin seems to be snapping back nicely but my thighs just look way saggier. Im wondering if I just haven't lost enough weight for the skin to snap back because there's still too much fat weighing it down, and that once ive lost enough, it will tighten up because the skin is much lighter than the fat its holding...? Like, for anyone who's lost a similar amount, did you feel like there was any point where you started to look worse before you looked better? That's my hope, but I'd like to know if I should try to let go of that or not.

Does anyone else have this anxiety when it comes to maintaining their weight loss?

I lost about 80 lbs back in 2018, I’ve maintained it since. I’ve gained maybe 5 lbs since, I’ve struggled with my weight since I was little always was the chubbier kid. I lost maybe 50 lbs back in 2014 and gained it back within the year, this is the longest I’ve maintained weight loss and I’d like to believe I’ll stay where I’m at now. I still have cheat days but I’ve learnt it’s about moderation. However, I still have anxiety when I cheat that I’ll end up where I was 80 lbs heavier in 2016. It really consumes me and every time I prove myself wrong but it feels so real.
