Just want to tell someone- 38f, SW265 CW193, 6’0” tall

Hi all, I’ve browsed around here in years past, but wandered back today and just wanted to share where I’m at with someone.

Last year in August, I weighed 265 lbs. I felt I was depressed and finally spoke with a doctor about it and turned out to be diagnosed with ADHD and depression. Since then, my whole life turned around. I should have known how much mental health would impact my physical health!

I hit 193 lbs today. I’m 6’0” tall, so this is getting reasonably close to my ideal weight. I’ve lost 26% of my body weight! I’d really like to be around 170, but I’m fine taking time to get there slowly. All of this has been due to calorie restriction and making a few better choices in higher protein options vs carbs, but not starving myself or going extreme on Keto like I have in the past where I’d get a “quick” 20-40 lb weight loss then gain it all back and more.

Anyway, just wanted to share, hopefully it is motivating to others. Taking so long to get here probably sounded like forever if I had thought about it back then, but now I’m so glad I went slowly!

Big hugs and much love to everyone on their journey to take care of themselves ♥️ I’m so proud of all of you!!

this weight loss journey completely and utterly destroy my sanity

I dont know what to do, or what am i supposed to feel anymore. Done this done that, avoid this and that. All the advice, all knowledge, all struggle, all methods, every single days of me starving asf and keep pushing to another day,

I weigh in for the first time since my journey 8 months ago, SW 235, CW 231. I feel my soul leaving me....

I do everything correct. Cico, fasting, exercise, none of that produce results. I keep eating lower and lower and lower and it still not working.

"Oh you must be underestimate your calorie intake"

Do you wanna know what i eat everyday (exclude sunday) ? My first meal is a lunchbox full of fruits at 1pm and dinner is half a pack of ramen (300 calories each, 1/2 is 150) and some rice. This is my total main diet from all these months since starting. I count everything ! Meanwhile all my roommates who are skinny asf eat 3 meals a day and i see them, which if i have the same diet as them i would probably weight 300 lbs by now.

I go to all different weight loss subreddit, and i see the meals post on there and they are waaaay more than mine. My day to day diet would be considered an ED food by many people.

And then i go to subreddit like r/fatlogic, who tells me that im doing it wrong, and i keep doing it wrong. "Theres no way you dont lose weight in calorie deficit". Well, i promise you i ask the same questions. I told that im a whiner, pathetic, cico is everything and i must have secretly eating 2000 cal on one witting without realizing.

"I lose tons of weight from dieting, so why cant you"

I feel like I'm getting gaslight, oh my god do i sometimes cry over the thought that i need to even lower my intake for tomorrow so i could hopefully loseit. I hate my body so much

I'm so ashamed

I am 15f and I am around 173cm (5'7) and last I checked I weigh 95kg(209lbs) and im trying to lose weight before christmas.

I can't talk about my weight or struggles because I am ashamed ,embarrased and worried that I will be judged, i have been eating 1500kcal each day and ive been trying to exercise every morning but i have never made any progress in my previous weight loss journeys.Any time i'd tell my parents that I'm trying to lose weight or on a diet they would sort of just brush it off or kind of ignore it and I find it really demotivating I would appreciate any advice to help me have a successful weightloss journey

Gym Routine Advice

Hi all,

I (155kg m) decided a while ago that I'm fed up with being overweight, and have recently started acting on it. I'm trying to eat less and trying out some little tricks like drinking more caffeine because it's a metabolizer, and I've eventually made it into the gym at work.

I still live with my parents so I don't get much of an input on what I have for dinners, just how much of it I have, and I've lost almost 10 kilos in the last 2 months.

I was hoping someone could help me refine my gym routine so I can maximize weight loss to hit my goal of 100kg by next summer.

At the moment I'm doing 15 minutes walk/slow jog to warm up, then going from 15kg to whatever I can max out on a chest press and back down again, then 15 minutes on and off boxing a bag, then the same weight method on leg press, then finishing off with a 15 minute walk/cycle to cool down.

I've talked to a few colleagues who also use the gym and they've all said a combination of CV and weight training gets the best results.

I appreciate any advice you guys can give, and hope I'll be posting back here with good news next year.

I want to use the gym, but I don't know how!

I've just gotten really serious about my weight loss journey after trying and giving up repeatedly. I go to the gym 3 times a week, but I always stick go the treadmill and elliptical.

I know I can lose weight doing cardio, but I've heard it's easier to lose weight when you lift weights! Problem is, I don't know how to build a workout routine. I've Googled it, but I'm still confused.

Thank you in advance for any information!

TLDR; How do you build a workout routine at the gym?

Just feel like I can’t start over again

Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have tried to lose weight on and off since age 13. Sometimes it works, but it always comes back. Now I weigh 260 pounds as a 5 7 person and I desperately want to lose weight, but it seems like it is just hopeless. So many years of yo-yo dieting! And so many people say it isn’t even possible to permanently lose weight. I genuinely want to know if there is any hope for me. Please, please be kind or don’t comment. I’m at the end of my rope.

I deal with emotional eating due to trauma and have suffered from a binge eating disorder for most of my life. I am also a transgender man, so losing weight in my chest is basically necessary for me to exist in my body in a way that feels okay.

I tried a dietician and she was really weird to me about me being trans, so I gave up. I feel so stressed out and tired from work that I find it difficult to eat well or exercise. I feel as if I need to figure out how to make slow changes in my life, but I don’t know how. I feel like weight loss isn’t possible for me and I just want to know if any of you have been able to do it despite challenges with mental health or ESPECIALLY gender dysphoria.

Also, let me get ahead of y’all and say this before it becomes a problem: You really don’t need to be mean to me for being transgender. I promise you don’t. You can move on and do literally anything else. I’m really nervous to post this so please don’t kick me when I’m down. :/

First Post

So I started my weight loss journey about a month ago weighing in at 277 pounds. The heaviest I have ever weighed in my life. A few years ago I went through a women's health issue and it caused me to gain more weight to my already unhealthy weight. The issue was solved then covid hit and life happens. I am 37 years old and decided that if I want to try to have a child on my own I need to do everything possible to healthy, and even if we cannot have children I could be healthier. My husband and I decided that it was time for a change so talked to our Dr. and got a referral to a weight loss specialist. I had my first appointment on 09/13 and instantly felt understood and supported by the entire staff there. They didn't just through medicine at me. They use a prong approach med, diet, and exercise. As of this morning 09/29 I am down to 266.5 pounds. I have not seen this weight since before 2019! I know this will be a tough road but it is worth it.
