30 Day Accountability Challenge - October Sign Ups

Hello lovely losers!

It’s almost a new month. October looms! Let’s welcome spooky season in with some goals!

For the newbies to the sub reddit, please start here, so much good info!

https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/wiki/quick_start_guide

https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/wiki/faq

And hey, maybe it’s not a bad idea to review them anyway to you returning conquerors. I do occasionally to remind myself of the basics.

Let’s break down what goes on here, shall we?

This is the sign-up post to outline your goals, weight loss, self-care, creative, whatever keeps you going.

There will be a daily update post for you to post how your day went, you can use whichever daily post fits your time zone if that’s an issue too.

At the end of the month, there is a wrap up post to reflect on the progress you made or didn’t make & what you learned. Learning is progress, don’t forget that.

We try to foster a supportive, caring place to discuss the actual day to day of deficits & counting & caring so much about how we fuel our bodies & lives. So be kind, interact if you like & hopefully you feel supported and cared for. Leading by example, here I go!

2000 calories a day (lose two pounds this month):

Exercise 5 days a week (strength work/tbar swings 3 days a week): X/X days.

Write stuff: So nebulous. I'll fine tune it a bit for tomorrow. Next month is Nanowrimo so I'm tempted to shelve the project until then.

Today's gratitude list: Today, I'm grateful for -

Random to do list item I want to conquer today: Sometimes this one gets weird.

Enough of that boring stuff, how about you all? What does your October hold?

What effects does alcohol have on your weight loss?

I have been on a weight loss journey all year and I am nearly to my goal now, but I am seeing some parts of my body that I still dont like, and possibly cant change. The big ones are loose skin and stretch marks. As much as they suck, living with those things is insignificant compared to the positive change weight loss has had on my life.

But I am noticing that, while other parts of my body are becoming toned as I go further, my belly is still quite big. And I think maybe I know why. Alcohol.

I struggle with alcohol abuse. I know I need to stop, and I have tried, but that is a whole other issue. I have been drinking a lot this past year. As you know alcohol carries a LOT of calories, so I account for that in my CICO. Working out is my favourite thing to do when drinking so when ever I drink, I make sure to count those calories and burn them off right then and there with a couple hours of exercise.

Even if the net CICO from this is zero, would alcohol still effect my body and weight loss? Basically I am asking is beer belly a real thing? (I drink rum, not beer)

Can i achieve big pecs after weightloss?

Im going on my weight loss journey and I’m wondering , if i was to put extra focus on my chest(not saying i wouldnt hit other places) and make it stronger and bigger while losing weight simultaneously. Would i have big/noticeable pecs when I’m done? I have a pretty good idea of what i want to look like when I’m done.

Right now w 5”10 CW 280 GW 185. I know some people just hit a lot of cardio and just watch the weight melt off. I don’t want that for myself , i want to do alot of weight training so when i begin to exit the weight loss train and start to enter the body recomposition stage of transformation ill have a good muscular foundation. I dont want body builder physique, i just refuse to look scrawny after a ton of weightloss.

Also please note i am by no means saying any of my goals are easily attainable. But will i attain them? No Doubt in my mind. Anyways let me know , is it possible for me to at least have a big chest by time I’m finish.

what can i do to stop acting on cravings?

i’ve tried things like having a barley sugar lollie instead of like a small meal. and i’ve also tried having a cup of tea (english breakfast with milk). the tea one works, it fills me up. are these good ideas or do they suck and not help with weight loss. what should i do? i also have adhd which is contributing to why i find it so difficult to stop acting on cravings and i always overeat and dinner time.

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
