Accountability

I'm a 41 F who was on track with my weight, healthy living in general and excercise. However due to some setbacks in my personal life, I gained some kgs back again, now at 71 where my goal weight was 66 and I almost reached it. So it's those damn last kgs that I want to get rid of, but mainly I also want to get my mojo back. Basically I finally want to be the healthiest and fittest version of myself, along with the positive vibes I lost. Also I never felt like I was good at sports, so I want to feel more comfortable in my skin excercising.

My plan is to excercise daily for 1 hour, combination of walking, cycling, running, yoga and gym. Plus I want to cut out alcohol alltogether and eat healthier food (less snacking / emotional eating). I want to start with a month and check on 31st of December what the results are, then from there on look ahead. My goal is 0,5 kg weight loss per week so maybe 2 kg per month which should be achievable.

Posting here to be accountable to myself, maybe get some advice or have an accountability buddy if anybody would like to. Here's to new years resolutions 1 month early!

Eating fast food to fix weight loss plateau?

I was consistently losing 2 kg a month until I flatlined at the same kg for one whole month. Then, binged food at an event and 3 days later i was minus 0.7 kg.

I then read about weight plateauing and apparently to fix it you have to eat more to ‘reset’ your metabolism? So you can go back to a defector and start losing?

Is that so? If so, can I say bad food like fried chicken to uo my calories if this is the way forward lol. If so do I just have to eat A LOT of healthy food

Ive lost 54lbs but have been on a plateau for 5 weeks

So im a 6ft1 male the weights 244lbs I have a significant amount of muscle, but still want to lose another 20-30lbs. I work out (lift weights 5 times a week) and try and do at least 30mins of low intensity cardio 3 times a week. Im eating 2100 calories a day with a macro split of 254g protein, 120g carbs, and around 70g of fat.

When I started dieting I weight 294lbs so I've lost a decent amount with the same diet I'm on now same macros and everything however the last 5 weeks I haven't lost any weight at all it. My weight fluctuates from 241-244 but I can't seem to get under 241lbs my goal weight is 210-220 with around 15-20% bf. I think I've hit a plateau.

I religiously count my calories and track everything I eat with my fitness pal I weight out all my food as well. I was wondering if I should drop my calories more because my body has adjusted to me eating 2100 calories, however I'm worried that if I drop them more I'm going to lose muscle mass. Which is something I don't really want all my lifts are good and haven't dropped significantly since I started dieting in April of 2022.

I was wondering if anyone on here has had the same experience of plateauing like this and if so what should I do to continue my weight loss journey. My only choices rn are to increase cardio or drop my calories. My guess is my body is used to the amount I'm eating now and my metabolism has regulated because ive been dieting to long. Anything helps.

Ps: this community is awesome and is filled with great info!

Manager made me cry

Huge nsv which came at a good time as recently I've been feeling so stuck and depressed with how long my weight loss journey is going to be.

Over the last year I've slowly but surely lost 29.6kg/65lb I'm so close to 30kgs lost but can't quite seem to get there. Just cico, focusing on nutritional foods and walking more.

My nurse manager is around the same size I was when I started my journey. Every now and again she makes comments about what am I doing, and how I'm looking really good.

Today in the staff room, she came up to me and randomly said. "You know Rachel, you're truly an inspiration. I was thinking about you the other day and instead of eating a biscuit I ate a manderin to get my sweet fill. Keep it up".

Weight loss is a personal journey, but to know I've somehow helped someone else without realising it has now felt like my biggest success.

Nearing 100 Lbs lost

So I've never really posted anywhere on Reddit before, but I've been a lurker of this sub for a long time. I found this place a little bit after my weight loss journey started and come back all the time to stay motivated. At the start of last April, I weighed 257 lbs the heaviest I ever recorded myself. I ended up finally getting braces and for the week I barely ate because my mouth hurt so bad. I ended up saying "what the hell" and hopped on the scale to see what effect it had, and I ended up being 248 lbs. I realized this wasn't that hard and that I could really lose weight for the first time in a long time. Honestly, I didn't accomplish my weight loss the "healthy" way. I starved myself and religiously watched the scale. For the first 3 months of my journey, I maintained a 1000 < calorie intake, don't get me wrong it worked and those numbers fell off crazy fast. Not too long after I hit that 3-month mark I was down close to 60lbs, but I wasn't as happy as I thought I would be. I realized all the starvation was making it impossible to actually enjoy my accomplishment. Eventually, I decided to ease back into a "normal" calorie-deficit diet and it was really nice. The difference between sub-1000 calories a day and 1500 - 1800 is astounding, I felt better instantly! I was doing really really fucking good, I had made it all the way down to 175 lbs only a couple of pounds away from a "healthy" BMI. Then I met someone, and it was amazing. For the first time, I had the confidence to pursue a relationship with this person and it somehow worked. It was unfortunately there when I got distracted from my goals, I was so focused on her and the relationship that weight loss became a side thing. I didn't gain it all back but rather maintained between 185 - 200 lbs. Skip to today a little over a year since I was at my best weight at the time 175 lbs. I realized that I wanted to get back into it at the start of October and have been busting balls to get back to where I was a year ago. I hopped on the scale today and it was 169 lbs. This was after eating and drinking and enjoying myself. I'm so close to that glorious 100 and I'm going to get it! If you ended up reading all thank you for taking the time and good luck on your guys' journey!

Self esteem is like a roller coaster after weight loss

Obviously I am really proud of how far I have come and how I have been able to lose about 18kg now and keep it off for a pretty long time. My body objectively looks way better and I am fitter, I feel healthier and just better in a million ways.

Nevertheless I just have so many days where I look in the mirror and hate everything. It’s like my mind is tricking me into thinking I am still in my old body. You ever get those days where you struggle to even notice your progress?

And if you do, how do you get out of this? Sometimes my self esteem on these bad days is unbearable, I can’t even look at myself right now

Is losing 100 pounds considered impressive?

Although I know objectively that losing 100 pounds is amazing, I don't feel like I've really accomplished anything...does anyone else feel this way? Maybe it's because I had an invalidation filled childhood I struggle to be proud of my accomplishment. Whenever people learn about my weight loss they are super surprised and impressed but a part of me feels like they are making a big deal. Idk I'd like y'alls feedback.
