Weight loss as an indian

Hi All,

As an indian that was brought up in a vegetarian house hold, I eat chicken/fish and eggs however I can't do it everyday. It's just not in my upbringing, after a few days a little voice in my head alerts me to this fact. I mention the indian bit so you know the cuisine I was raised on.

I'm tired of relying on dairy to meet my protein quota, I'm aiming to lose about 15kg but I'm struggling to come up with a plan to lose it. I currently weigh 105kg. Staying mostly veg is hard, protein becomes more difficult, I feel hungrier often. Does anyone have tips/recipes they can share with me? I have previously relied on MFP to lost about 28kg, but it's not a long term solution because of the food I was relying on for protein is not something I can eat everyday.

Thank you in advance

Does anyone obsess over their weight when you've gained some?

I (28F) have gained about 10lbs this year and as I'm only 5'1", it's fairly noticeable to me. There were a lot of things that came up during the summer and these past few weeks that have made weight loss difficult to manage. I can't stop thinking about the weight I've gained, how I look in pictures, if any part of me looks bigger, if my clothes feel slightly different, if anyone notices I look bigger. These thoughts are always in the back of my mind, if not usually what I'm thinking about at any given time. I've come here to ask if anyone else feels this way, and for those who don't, how do you go about your life without constantly being stressed out about your body?

What’s next?

I (15F) went from 180 to 140 pounds (I’m 5’8) my goal weight was originally 150 but i was like maybe I’ll look a bit better at 145 and then at 145 i said the same. I am still not happy with how I look, should I set another goal, to built muscle?, to be slim? I went from being obese my whole life to being normal weight, i don’t know how to handle my weight loss. Im not sure what I should do next, please leave some suggestions :)

Started at 201 pounds, now 184

I’m 13, male, and fat. I’ve been struggling with my weight since i was 8. Quarantine definitely didn’t help. But all of the bullying from last school year, the way my chubby belly looks, the fact that I JIGGLE, just made me feel like I was awful and not good enough. So, I started working out and counting calories this summer. It’s now October, and I went from a BMI of 32 (I’m 5’8 and started at 5’6) to a BMI of 28. I know it’s not that much of a weight loss, but i feel so much stronger and healthier. I can eat a meal now and not feel like people are staring at me like I’m a gross sack of fat. I am still chubby, and I’ve got a ways to go until I’ll be healthy or skinny. But I’ve just been feeling better about myself, I thought I might share it here :) Good luck to everyone else losing weight

Very cool NSV: Lowered resting heart rate

https://imgur.com/n37isPa

I started my weight loss journey in mid-August. Since then, I have lost 22 pounds. My phone posted an alert about my heart rate, and I was freaked out and thinking it was something bad because this has been a stressful week at work, and in general. When I finally checked it, I was shocked to discover my heart rate has dropped a lot. Like a LOT. It went from 74 to 66 bpm.

I don't know if it was abdominal fat or just general fitness (I don't walk much during the summer, and as a teacher during the school year, I get above 10k steps very easily) or drinking less (I went from two glasses of wine a night to drinking one alcoholic beverage a week). I have lost 4+ inches off my waist and a couple of inches off of my neck, so I am not snoring as much and assume I'm sleeping more deeply.

In any case, it's totally keeping me motivated!

Happy with where I am now

I began my weight loss on 1st June 2021 and have lost 33kg/73lbs. I've gone from BMI 37.5 to 24.5 / 205lbs to 132lbs.

My intention was to get to 125lbs, but I've spent the last 3 months focusing on body recomp and strength gains and eating what I want without tracking at all. I haven't posted in this sub for ages because, frankly, I've been focused elsewhere.

So, the short story is, I'm not hyper focused on weight loss anymore. I've found my equilibrium and if I do lose anymore weight, it'll be down to increased BMR. I'm no longer stressing about getting to 'perfection' as I know that unless I want to track forever (I dont) then I'm constantly going to be in a state of 'correcting' the eating habits I'm comfortable maintaining at. I'm far less stressed for sure.

So I guess my PSA is to know when's your right time. Sure, I'm still at the high end of healthy BMI, but I live an active healthy lifestyle that's good enough for me. Perfection isn't worth it

Running made me stop losing weight?

While I was at my fat loss journey last year, I’ve had a plateau and my friends advised me to start including cardio into my workout plan to make me start losing weight again. And so I did. I started running 3 times a week alongside my normal gym routine while not raising my calorie intake in any way. I did this for 2 months, and during this time I didn’t lose a single pound. I even tried including HIIT, but without any results. I was really devastated as nothing seemed to work. So after those 2 months I stopped running and guess what, I started losing weight again! And this wasn’t the only time when I tried running for weight loss and it didn’t have any effect. Is it possible that running/cardio just doesn’t work for some people?
