Hoping to lose 20-23 lbs in the next 9 weeks. (M/34/213lbs)

I know that's quite a goal and requires a lot of work but I feel it's def achievable as long as I remain committed.

I'm 213 and want to get down to 190. I used to work out until I started my first year of teaching last year which threw me into a whirlwind of emotions and distracted me from working.

Hoping now to get back into. Only drinking water, doing 2hrs of walking/speedwalking after work.

Any good recommendations or hints that could be helpful? I know I gotta cut out the sweets and no junk food which i'm committed to. I do wanna have a little fruit juice from time to time but high level of sugar might be good for weight loss right?

What Weight Loss Habits Helped You?

I'm someone who's been trying to lose weight for quite a while but nothing seems to be working. I'm working out regularly for 2 hours a day (erging, running, swimming, tennis, HIIT), on a diet, and drinking 3 liters of water a day. (Here's what I'm doing.) I know I should probably consult someone other than Reddit, but I just want to see what worked for y'all and try and find out what I'm doing wrong. I'm not going to immediately follow and do whatever you say, as no body is alike, but I just want to compare. If that makes sense..? Comments are very appreciated.

feel so demotivated

Around 1,200 calories a day. Consists of 70% veg and then 2 peices of fish and sometimes 100g of rice or golden rice. Hell, i go as far as to eat 1 or 2 lines of chocolate a day, a bar lasts me a week when usually id eat 2-3 bars in a day. I eat out 1 a week now instead of 3. I have nearly completely cut out fries except for said takeouts. I walk so much more than i use to, i even have a job that has me walk like mad (waitressing) i get like 12,000 steps a day usually now, maybe more if i walk home from college (2 miles, hour walk) I've been going to the gym for 1 hour a day, 3/4 days a week, i start with 15 minutes of cardio then do maybe 5-10 minutes on weight machines.

Today i got back from the gym, arms killing and so tired and i did my weekly weigh in

Are you fucking kidding me... I feel, so damn demotivated. The app i have to track my weight tells me that after all of this, for a month. I've GAINED an average kg. My worst fear in my weight loss journey is the idea that im just physically unable to lose weight and even after I've been trying so hard the only compliment ive managed to get i "oh you lost some weight round your face" and thats it, while i have the scales telling me that nothings happened. It feels so demotivating..

17/06 - 80kg 07/07 - 79.9kg 17/7 - 78.3kg 23/07 - 78.2kg 27/07 - 78.6kg 31/07 - 79.6kg.

Average change - +1kg.

Weight loss journey starts tomorrow.

My diet begins tomorrow! Tips?

So I'm starting my diet and exercise routine tomorrow so that I can lose some weight. I don't intend to calorie count due to prior ED and OCD issues but I will be eating smaller portions and healthier with about 30 minutes of exercise everyday or at least 5 days of the week using Ringfit Adventure and other workouts on YouTube.

I'm 27 and I think I'm around 80kg at 5ft 1in so I absolutely need to lose some weight but I've been worried about it kicking off my old ED issues. I have a bad relationship with food sadly. I don't usually eat snacks, candy etc but I work on my pc at home and am sat down most of the day so I'm a little lost on where to start in all honesty haha.

I've seen loads of different opinions on what is best for different people. Some say counting calories is the right thing to do, others not at all so I'm a bit confused haha. Anyone have any tips? 🥰🥰

I desperately need weight loss advice

I am a 5’5, 20 year old female and I currently weigh 240 pounds. As a child I was pretty skinny and had no problems with my weight. I do have PCOS which contributes to my weight issues. I previously weighed around 200-250 pounds when I was 15 but was able to lose most of it over the span of 2 years in a lockdown facility but as soon as I left the facility, I started gaining my weight back rapidly due to poor dietary choices. I’m hoping to lose 80-90 pounds to put myself at a healthy bmi but I have no idea how to go about it. I would greatly appreciate any advice on diet and workout methods. I’m have no idea what workouts I should do, how often I should work out, how long I should work out, etc. I have no idea how much I should eat or what I should eat. Please help

I gained half a pound, I cried a little, and then used that disappointment as inspiration to keep going.

In April this year, I decided I was done being obese, I was sick of the aches and pains and struggles that came with it, and I was going to get healthy.

Since then, I’ve lost 36 pounds. No fad diets, just straight up healthy eating, exercise, and tracking calories. It’s been the easiest weight loss of my life, and so many ailments that plagued me are slowly disappearing.

Saying that last week was “stressful” is downplaying it. I found myself mindlessly snacking, and making choices that I knew weren’t the best, but in the moment, I didn’t care.

I did my weekly weigh in today, and I gained half a pound. Logically, I know that people fluctuate, and half a pound is nothing, especially compared to my success. Yet I cried. It made me more upset than I thought it would, and I felt like I failed. But after I finished my cry, I realized the reason I was so upset was because I actually care about myself again. I want to do better for me, and it felt like I let myself down.

So, I had a cheat day. After the last week, I deserved and needed a break. Tomorrow, I will go back to making the better choices, and I will no longer be upset about half a pound.

If the stories shared on this sub have taught me anything, it’s this: I need to love myself, and forgive myself when I stumble. ❤️

33F CW 220, GW 160 looking for accountability partner

I’m hoping to find another female preferably to message on here or text just about daily or every other day with weight loss motivation, goals, challenges, etc. Just a weight loss friend! Preferably someone who has a bit to lose like me and wants to share back and forth about both of our journeys. I’m in the Pacific time zone (near Seattle). I’ve had accountability buddies in the past and really enjoyed it. Let’s get to losing!
