Weight loss changed my life but my mother is discouraging it

Hello everyone. I (15F) have been overweight for a long time - I think since I was maybe eleven. I’ve always been “big boned” - sorry I don’t know how to say it in English, but my ribs and bone structure are generally bigger. I am 5’4 and for most of my life have fluctuated from 142 - 152 pounds. But around a year ago I decided to change that and started reading tips and working to lose weight. It worked and I have done amazing, I am now around 98 pounds and my goal is to continue to lose until 85 - 90 then maintain (i guess i’m lucky i don’t have loose skin, maybe it’s the time). But my mother has caught on and is very upset. She noticed that I skip most of my meals (I do intermediate fasting and eat around 800 cal a day for six hours in the morning) and work out a lot (i try to take a 10K steps a day on our treadmill but it’s easy for me). she also said i never eat sweets anymore but i just feel uncomfortable when i eat sweets now. it’s very frustrating because my dad is supportive of me as he also lost lots of weight but my mother is frustrated with me. what to do to help her understand and not worry?

A month ago I posted about my biggest jeans being too tight. Today they fit comfortably!

No dramatic weight loss or anything as of right now. I’m not using scales, just counting calories. There is no visible difference yet. BUT..

The weather’s getting colder where I am, and I’ve been wearing leggings and more stretchy pants the past few days to avoid having to face the jeans. Today, I just decided- fuck it, I’m going to try them on because it’s been a little over a month of making healthier choices. Last time I did this in the middle of august, I was huffing and puffing trying to button them, squeezing my stomach in.

They fit! And it was so weird because it wasn’t like the strain-muscles trying to button them…they buttoned like regular pants. When I was walking to class, I wasn’t even aware of them. I just walked. Like a normal human being.

I definitely won’t be changing my wardrobe to smaller sizes any time soon but it’s nice to feel normal :)

Altering my diet for further weight loss

I’m a 5’8, 154 lb female. I’ve been on a rather strict low carb diet for a month. I eat 1600-1700 calories a day and weigh my food using kitchen scales. I was able to lose 3,3 lbs this way but I want to speed up my weight loss a little bit. Exercise-wise, I try to go jogging every day for 30-45 minutes.

On average, I eat 110g carbs, 85g fat and 90-95g protein a day. I’ve been thinking of replacing my dinner with a protein shake, would that work? Or should I do something else? I feel like I need to lower my carb intake and focus on protein instead.

I'm 18 and weigh 285 lbs.

I recently started running around a highschool near where I live. Each lap is around 8 minutes with minor running. Recently I've been struggling with trying to keep consistent running. Tips on running will be greatly appreciated. Aswell I recently got a new gym membership as the old one was canceled. So tips on exercises would be greatly appreciated. Last of all I eat to put on some muscle, just enough to be noticeable.

Ps Subreddits for dieting, recipes for weight loss, tips on weight loss, building muscle will be greatly appreciated.

As a man in my mid forties, I am starting to feel like weight loss and healthy habits are a matter of life or death.

I have created a blog to help hold myself accountable and possibly inspire someone along the way! I make nothing from my blog. It truly comes from the best of intentions. I want to share advice and help anyone else on a journey along the way.

Lifeordeath.blog is where I have been sharing my day to day challenges along with anything that I find helpful. The power of community is something that can help motivate and inspire. By blogging each day, it motivates me to reach for my personal goals as well. I'd love to have you stop by!

Weight loss YouTubers

Hi there! I'm trying to lose weight and have been my entire life, it's so annoying especially because I feel insecure to talk about it with anyone. All the different view points and advice just ends up confusing me so I prefer to just do things my own way. But I do wish I could find more fat women on youtube who are documenting their weight loss, showing what they eat in a day, and discussing mental health struggles/binge eating disorder. I'd really love some recommendations, I think following people who are on the same path as me will help me to stay on track. <3

I'm just confused

I had gained about 15 lbs earlier this year when I switched to a desk job for only a month and a half, before getting a very physically demanding job that has me walking 15k to 30k almost every day. Eating habits have just about stayed the same since before the desk job. How have I not seen any weight loss progress. It's just stayed the same fluctuating about 2ish lbs.

I can give more details if I need to clarify anything. I'm honestly legitimately confused.

Also also any advice is welcomed and appreciated.
