Have you ever felt like you put too much unnecessary pressure on yourself?

Height: 5’0 weight: 123 starting weight: 185

So I started my journey back around April of last year and have been very satisfied with how far I’ve come and I look great. I feel great. Howeve I’ve noticed to have some intense feelings, especially with food.

I’m 3 pounds way from hitting my goal weight (120 lbs) but somehow I always feel like I’ve messed. I eat clean and do exercise during the week and indulge a bit in the weekend, nothing crazy. However, I’m way too hyper focus about the things I eat now.

I could eat 3 peanut m&ms and feel like I’ve eaten the whole bag.

I feel this also was caused when I went to a dermatologist about cysts I get around my thighs and how the weight loss benefits me from getting them less frequently. However she said “at your height, your ideal weight is 115” and that just thru me for a loop. she was very nice and I know for my height my weight should be much lower but it put me in this position of feeling where im not enough.

Idk, I feel I’m putting too much pressure and I don’t know how to stop

Looking for a weight loss buddy

Hi everyone, I currently have a BMI of 31 and am looking to lose some weight. I have been trying to exercise and eat mindfully, but nothing seems to last more than a few weeks. I really want to permanently get rid of my extra fat by changing bad habits and perceptions about healthy living.

If you are interested and are willing to go on a weight loss journey with me, do give me a dm or comment below. If not, any tips on how to not think about food all the time will also be appreciated ;)

FYI: I am a female living in Sydney. I reckon it would be easier if we are in the same timezone, but am also keen to get to know people from other places :D

Need help figuring out what I am doing wrong, stuck on a plateau after consistent weight loss

I started out last year at about 260 and now I'm at 195. I eat between 1200-2400 calories depending on if I exercised that day and I usually manage to get to the gym 27-28 days a month. I do 2 hours on the elliptical and a couple more hours of walking at home. MFP has my calorie goal at 2070 per day and other TDEE calculators tend to put it higher than that. Problem is I have been stuck at 195 for about a month and a half now and it is seriously discouraging.

These are the last 5 days and are pretty typical for me overall. I also log EVERYTHING and basically don't cook/make meals due to the difficulty in calculating calories so I only order off of menu's with listed calorie counts, usually fast food or prepackaged meals. I also have cut liquid calories and snacking completely out of my diet except for energy drinks, which are logged and accounted for. Any idea where the issue lies? Are the calorie counts I log for my foods higher than listed, are the calories estimated from exercise in app/on the machine grossly inflated?

medication to treat binge eating?

hi all!

im super new to this subreddit and im hoping this doesn't count as "promoting unhealthy weight loss". after struggling with BED for years, i've finally decided to make the decision to consciously try to lose weight and reduce my eating. it's been really hard and ive broken my progress multiple times. im not gonna quit, but i was wondering if anyone knows anything about taking medication to reduce appetite and/or prevent symptoms of BED. i've heard of certain medications like Vyvanse that can help reduce symptoms of BED, does anyone take this or something similar? has it helped you? and is it healthy to take such medication or should i try losing weight the "normal" way? i do plan to exercise, have a calorie deficit and eat healthier, but I think medication would help. thoughts?

hoodwinked, tricked, bamboozled!

So I have ben on pretty strict healthy living kick since September( F,29,165cm,130kg)and I signed up for a personal trainer at the gym and have been going 3 times a week every week, weight training mainly. But the scales have hardly moved at all... But my my body feels smaller clothes fit better

I had been very very tired for all the extra exercise and a friend recommended I try increasing my protein intake, which I have done for about 3 weeks and I feel I have much more energy.

I have been tracking my kJs in My fitness pal and consistently staying in the deficit. So pretty confused why I'm not seeing more progress with my weight loss.

Yesterday I downloaded the 'lose it' and there is a big difference in the kJs intake goal compared to MFP, have I been eating too much and not actually been in a true deficit?

MFP recommends 6235kJs a day whereas lose it recommends 5583kJs.

Some advice would be appreciated on what I should eat and achieve foodwise to lose it weight and build muscle, feeling lost and confused, internet is so hard to find true valuable information

super food greens and weightloss

SW: 245 CW: 209 GW: 175

I recently had a baby in july. I went from 195lbs to 245lbs during my pregnancy. I'm currently down 36 pounds and starting to take my weight loss journey even more serious with CICO diet & intermittent fasting. I work a lot and very early so I'm always so tired but have stopped drinking coffee bcs of the added calories/sugar. I heard super food greens in powder form are a good alternative as they provide energy as well as speed up the metabolism. But are they really worth it?? Does anyone here take super green powders like bloom? are they really beneficial in aiding in weight loss/ gut health?! please let me know!
