I need advice!

Hello. I’m 16.1 years of age, 5’5 feet (165cm) and pushing to 160 lbs (73 kg). It has now been 2 years of my weight loss journey and it’s been nothing but a cycle. I would lose 8 pounds then gain all of it back.

I struggle to limit myself to drinking juice and replacing it with water and lower my appetite for junk foods but it has been so hard. I feel so bad for myself and did went through some tough times because of my weight. I’ve been doing home workouts and intermittent fasting since my parents forbid me to walk on parks or go to public gyms.

Now that it is almost 2023, I want to change my mindset and would love to hear y’alls advice on what helped you guys to stay focus on the weight loss journey. I would also like to know what else I can do to stay active when I’m stuck home. Thank you.

8 months of weight loss.

I forgot to report in last month. I'm 276 pounds. I was 314 pounds 8 months ago and around 340 a year ago. I've gained 7 pounds over the past 2 months. I'm not happy about it and I've known that my motivation has been on a steep decline. Honestly though? I'm happy that it was only 7 pounds. 3.5 pounds per month? This is nothing compared to what it could have been and I was almost able to maintain my weight. This just makes me want to get back into it as we start the new year. Even without remaining strict, I was able to not let myself get too out of control.

Hoping to report back near the end of January having lost some weight! Starting now because procrastination is something I'm way too good at and I hope to fully be back into it by January 1st.

Cutting on a ~1400-1600 calorie deficit

So I was on keto for roughly ~2.5 months. I decided to go out of it a month ago because I’m traveling abroad and have decided I can’t keep up this regimen any longer.

I never plan on going back on keto but I am still in a calorie deficit. I never did reach my ideal goal weight and physique on keto.

It was a constant up-and-down process that just became super frustrating.

Now that I’ve transitioned from keto to a regular calorie deficit. I am so much happier, I get to enjoy the foods I once enjoyed without completely restricting myself.

However, I’m worried now that I may be losing too much weight. I’ve read that a healthy weight loss is somewhere between 1-2 pounds. I’ve read other articles regarding that could be healthy but couldn’t find it conclusive.

My maintenance calories sit roughly between 2000-2100 based on multiple tdee calculators.

I’m currently at a calorie intake of ~1400-1600. Sometimes I stay at 1400 and on other days I got a little above.

Since my initial start about a month ago I’ve lost somewhere between 6-8 pounds. I currently weigh 172 pounds and at the start of my transition from keto to a regular calorie deficit, I was at ~179.

The reason I’m a little concerned is that I lost roughly 3 pounds when I weighed myself on the 23rd.

I do not want to lose all of the muscle I’ve retained from my huge weight loss at 280 pounds.

Any suggestions or tips would be much appreciated.

Feeling Out of Control while Home for the Holidays

I (F, 20s) began my weight loss journey just about a year ago with exactly 110 lbs to lose in order to get to a healthy BMI. I honestly didn’t have any expectations and went in without a set time frame because I wanted to focus more on building long term habits than getting the weight off fast. I am very happy to say that I’ve lost just under 45 lbs. I am thrilled and even though I have a long ways to go I feel better already.

This leads to this week, where I’ve found myself home for the holidays at my parents place. I don’t know if it’s the location, the time of year, the fact that I’m not at school and have more free time, but I’ve been experiencing sort-of-binges (?) for the first time. I’m typically relaxed about holidays and celebrations and try not to restrict, so for Christmas itself I didn’t worry about calories.

But in the few days before and after the holiday itself I’ve been eating like I normally would all day and then feeling a compulsion to eat literally everything in the late evening. I don’t overly restrict (I haven’t even been fully calorie counting, just ballparking) so I don’t know if this is some psychological response to being on “Christmas” vacation or what but it’s driving me crazy.

I experienced the same thing over thanksgiving break but didn’t worry too much because that was only a couple of days and I was back on campus eating healthy (with seemingly no cravings for unhealthy foods!) right away.

I know that I’ll go back to my normal routine when school starts again but if my weight loss is location-dependent then it obviously isn’t sustainable. It’s like my mind and cravings are totally different when I’m home. Has anyone dealt with this kind of thing? How do I adjust my brain to understand that my new, healthy routines apply everywhere?

Im struggling to just start

I have been a yoyo weight loss/weight gain person since I was 7years old. Im 27 now and I am the heaviest Ive ever been. Female 5’4 at 210lbs and I hate it. This is the worst Ive ever let it get but for some reason I cant just get my butt in gear and head back to the gym and eat right. Idk what has happened to me but I dont know why I dont just start trying again. I really dont want to be this weight anymore. I know it’s going to be hard and that’s the scariest part. Its a struggle.

Best country to travel to for liposuction?

Hello I’m a 31 yo female, H163cm, W75kg. I’m in Australia and have been successfully losing weight slowly over the years but have now become stagnant. I am interested in doing liposuction for the final stubborn KGs that I’m struggling to lose in my weight loss journey. I’d like to travel abroad since lipo is so expensive in Australia.

Does anyone have any recommendations of the safest, cost effective country to travel to for lipo? Also would love to hear any stories if you’ve done this yourself and had good/bad experiences. Am also interested to know how long the procedure and recovery is?

And if you have specific recommendations to a particular doctor or clinic I’d love some advise there too!

Why have I started to lose weight since I stopped drinking coffee?

I was a three to four cup of coffee type person every day but I got sick and since then haven’t been in the mood for coffee. I have insulin resistance so I was eating low carb and fasting but weight loss has been extremely hard for me. During December I was definitely not eating low carb and was scared to step on the scale but low and behold I actually lost weight. The only difference was I wasn’t drinking coffee so anyone have any reasons on why I would lose weight by not drinking coffee? For reference I only drink it with a tablespoon of heavy cream and no sugar or sweeteners.
