Is natural juice bad for weight loss?

I've been doing crossfit pretty intensely for about two years, I've lost some weight (like 5kg) I know it's not much but I'm also not on a deficit and my diet is pretty clean I avoid sugars I don't drink sodas on my daily life, but I'm a pastry chef so completely eliminating sugars for me is imposible, I have to taste test, it's just a bit, but makes it kinda difficult to really be on a deficit.

I snack when I'm hungry (working on that rn) mostly savory snacks, and I'm currently replacing my typical mid morning snack with some natural juice

I usually put a few frozen strawberries half a banana and stevia on a blender and that's it, but EVERYWHERE everyone says juice is bad for weight loss blablabla I can't stand the texture of most raw fruits that's why I blend them.

So I came here for some opinions, you think this may work to help me be on a deficit? (I don't track my cals because I have a very bad past with eating disorders, but thanks to that I can also calculate in my head more or less what amount of calories I'm eating)

Lost 30kg but I'm still massively insecure

I(M25) used to be morbidly obese as recently as December of last year, weighing around 131 kg. Losing weight has been an eternity project for me since I've been obese my entire adult life. In recent years It has been more difficult due to certain medications and the setback has been significant, which lead to suicidal ideation. I've hated my body so much to the point of wanting to die.

Ever since I've lost some weight and now im at 97kg. I didn't do much but I stopped eating so much junk food, especially candy, chips and shit like that. It wasn't really a conscious effort. I just didn't feel like eating much as it's been a chore at best.

However I'm still extremely insecure about my body as I'm still fat as a son of a bitch and hideous looking. I simply don't see any difference. Yet my family members claim to have noticed my weight loss somehow.

I thought I'd stop being an abomination of nature when I become leaner but i was sorely mistaken. Idk what am I gonna do at this point.

Scared I'm not going to be here for my son in the long run due to my weight and need to change my lrifestyle ASAP. I've reached my breaking point and I don't want to be like this anymore.

Hi r/loseit, I came across this subreddit as a recommendation for support as I try to change my lifestyle and lose weight, a lot of weight. I'm a 25 year old female and just saw the scale hit 300 lbs for the first time. I never thought I would end up like this.

A little background on how I got here: at the beginning of the pandemic, I quit my job (I was a waitress for 6 years), moved out of state, and became pregnant with my first child. My starting pregnancy weight was 225 and after I had him I weighed 275 so I gained a large amount especially for how big I was already. A few months later, I was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety and depression. I completely lost myself and any amount of care I had to make myself a better person. You would think having a child would motivate you to do better, but I can't seem to get there. I also was diagnosed with IIH, a disease where high pressure in the brain causes headaches and vision loss. This has caused my right eye to almost become blind. I'm currently taking medication for that, and weight loss is also a big treatment option. It's been almost 2 years since he has been born and I'm still trying to manage the anxiety/depression, as well as begin my self love journey. I'm now 300 lbs and it is definitely time to do something.

My biggest issue is that I lose myself in food. Eating distracts me from everything else going on. I tend to skip meals during the day, and eat a large meal for dinner and then late night snacks. I don't really exercise. I have every once in a while whether that's going to the gym or taking my dog for a walk, but it's never consistent.

I know there are so many resources, but it's almost overwhelming to me. I'm looking for a simple starting point, a group where I can check-in to keep me motivated, guides, etc. I want to involve myself in this community. No one around me is dealing with something similar so it's hard for me to find support. If you're still here, I appreciate you reading this and appreciate anything you have to offer. I find myself so worried that one day soon, my son will be without his mother due to my weight and health issues. I can't let that happen. Please help. Thank you.

Worried I’m losing too fast, yet am tracking everything correctly?

Hello LoseIt, hoping you can provide me some guidance!

I started my weight loss journey on the 1st of August and have set my weight loss goal of 0.25kg/0.5lb a week and am eating approx 1350 calories a day with no exercise which is the intake my app recommended (I am 164cm/5ft4, 29 years old and female with no known health conditions)

As of today, I’ve lost 5.7kg/12.5lb which means I’m losing about 3kg/6lb a month. Is this too fast? I’ve been trying to have maintenance days here and there, but I’m concerned that I’m losing too fast. I am also trying to ensure I eat enough vitamins and a variety of foods so that I don’t cause deficiencies, and I don’t feel tired or unwell, nor do I feel overly hungry. On days when I walk over 7000 steps, I eat about 1600 calories to make up for the calories burned.

I am weighing myself daily and tracking and weighing all my food correctly (using the scan function in the Lose It app to scan every food I eat, even the labels on my fruit). I’m drinking 2L of water everyday and am sleeping normally.

Should I be worried and eat at maintenance for a while? I’m worried I’m losing way too quickly yet am doing what I’m ‘supposed to’ according to my app. Any guidance is very welcome!

Edited to add more info.

Help losing the last few pounds

I managed to pull myself from just inside obese to the healthy side of the healthy/overweight BMI categories, but my weight loss has utterly stalled. I don't seem to be able to lose any more weight, even with calorie counting (which confuses me, I run a deficit and the fat's still not going away). Fortunately I'm not putting it back on either.

I'm just wanting help getting the last little bit of fat off. I don't need to be downright skinny, I just need that last stubborn bit of tub gone.

Current Mindset

What’s up guys, I wanted to get some info on what people do/how often you have cheat days. I started taking weight loss serious about 4ish months ago. I started at 315 pounds and I’m down 45 pounds to 270. I do IF (16/8 and 20/4 depending on the day) and I workout 5-6 days a week. I count calories, you know all the good stuff. But I ask about cheat days because I’m to the point now where I feel so into it that when I have a cheat day or meal I just feel like crap afterwards. Before hand I really want that cheat meal and after I hate that I did it even though I know it’s deserved. Just wondering how some of you go about this and again how often you have a “cheat day”.

I think I've restarted my weight loss journey dozens of times

Back in 2019, up until March 2020, I was losing weight, lifting weights at the gym and being overall healthy. Then the pandemic started and I put on all the weight I had lost... I must have gained some 10kgs.

It's almost 1am and my sister came home with burgers and I ate them. Now my body feels miserable and I'm left wondering what the hell I'm doing with my life.

I need medication for hypertension but that didn't prevent me from eating as much as I do. I must be weighting almost 100kgs now. If I don't do something, anything, I'm going to get sick and something bad is going to happen.

I'm going to get married 30 days from now and I don't want to just die or anything. I want to be healthy. So help me God to lose this weight and stick with counting calories this time.
