Would a 12lb weight loss be noticeable on me?

• I am a 30 year old woman
• 5’3/5’4 (I don’t know for sure but I know my height is around there)
• 147lbs

My goal weight is 135lbs. I’m just curious if this weight loss will be noticeable given my current weight and height. I would love to hear opinions or others’ experiences if you had or have similar stats.

I’ve finally been able to work out and live a healthier lifestyle after having a surgery. The weight loss will be really good for my health, so I am really excited about this lifestyle change!

I’ve always been self conscious about my belly fat and arm fat, I’m hoping that losing 12 pounds might help slim these areas down!

Thanks!

Gained 8 Pounds over the Holidays and already lost it!!

Getting back on the horse really is the hardest part. The holidays are usually what causes my weight loss to weight gain and then all of a sudden it’s July and I’ve gained 30 pounds. Well, not this time. I gained 8 pounds Dec 24-Jan 3. Jan 4th I started counting calories/walking and today, 6 days later those 8 pounds are GONE. I cannot believe it.

Down 37 pounds since July and hoping for 15 more!!

Trying to lose weight again after 91lb weight loss is proving difficult.

So about 2 years ago I lost 91lbs. I got down to 160lbs (I’m 5’3 female) and I was super happy. Anyway I’ve gained 8lbs recently and after everyday of full eating I weight between 170-172lbs (this goes down to 168-169 when I wake up). I’ve been in a deficit for a week and I know it’s not a long time but I’m feeling so discouraged as I can’t push past 168lbs and some days when I stick to my deficit but eat higher sodium foods and drink more water I wake up 170lbs. I don’t remember it being this difficult the first time round and it was like the weight dropped off so quickly - when do you think I will start seeing results?

My goal weight is 160 again fyi

Calorie deficit does work!

I know it's a known fact but still a bit shocked.

I (25F, 5'4) have done the whole weight loss thing before with intense exercises 6 days a week but little to no change in my diet. I lost some weight but quickly gained it all rapidly.

In September, I decided it was time for a permanent lifestyle change. I downloaded the lose it app and set a daily calorie limit of 1,323 and was strict with it for the most part. Started eating more protein and fresh food, I had already completely cut soda 2 years back.

I couldn't work out as I wanted to as I'm schooling and working full time. Recently, I started doing 20mins cardio 3 to 4 days a week. I noticed my clothes had been getting loser so i finally decided to ignore my anxiety and stand on the scale today, was shocked to see that I'd lost 10kg (22 pounds)!

Last time I weighed in August, I was 70kg and overweight. I am now officially in the healthy weight category🥳. Still plan on loosing 5kg to reach my goal weight of 55.

Done with year of “maintenance”!

In 2021, I lost a total of 50 lbs! (F29, SW:240, CW:188).

In 2022, initially, I lost ~18lbs, and I was around 173 lbs, and felt great. However, after a break up, graduate school failures and just life, I gained those 18 lbs back.

But I don’t feel like I failed at weight loss, surprisingly. I see 2022 as a year of maintenance, when I had to deal with a lot of emotional trauma (with therapy and self awareness).

NOW, I want to continue, and finish what I started :) My goal is 140.

To anyone restarting, you can do it❤️ It is extremely hard. For me, I think getting my mindset in the right place helped a lot. Being kind to yourself but also holding yourself accountable. It is a balance and slippery slope if you are used to the all or nothing mentality like me. But it is possible. Healing is possible.

Let’s do this :)

How to address my girlfriend's weight without upsetting her?

I have been losing weight for the past several months but I didn't do this in the healthiest of ways. Girlfriend thinks I did it in a more "normal" way but she is aware I restricted calories heavily and she sometimes gets upset that she can't seem to do that (I don't want her to obviously). I don't want her to think I'm a hypocrite because I sincerely do care about her health, it's not just about appearance. I'm now working on a healthy balanced diet and exercising regularly.

She is 5'5 and weighs about 170lbs but was around 130 when we first got together 2 years ago. Due to my weight loss she is now very insecure about her body and no amount of reassurance helps. It's starting to get frustrating and I'm worried I may soon just snap and tell her to just lose the weight. Sometimes I express disapproval at her food choices and she doesn't take it well. She also thinks that I'm "too skinny" now (I'm a very average weight) so I think her perception is skewed. I still find her attractive but I have to admit as I lost weight I began to find her less attractive, although this could be explained by loss of sex drive due to other reasons. I guess she can sense my loss of interest, but she isn't acting on the weight problem which I don't understand because it seems to upset her so much.

I offer to make her healthy food and sometimes it works but she always snacks on unhealthy things. We don't live together so I can't request she doesn't keep that stuff in the house. I work a lot so I can't really go to the gym with her.

How can I help her?

Too scared to weigh myself

I’m starting a weight loss journey. I have depression and OCD, and I take a medication which makes me gain weight. I am trying to counteract this by eating less and exercising more. I have a history of eating issues which makes my weight gain a lot harder. I was borderline anorexic in high school. I’m better now, but the thought process is still there. I’ve gained a lot of weight over the last few years because of my mental health conditions and medications. I am considered overweight by my BMI now. I’m doing a lot better now and want to lose this weight. I know weighing yourself is an important part of weight loss, but I am too scared. I know it will be much more than I want, and I really don’t want to trigger myself, as I am very sensitive to this due to my eating issues. I am scared I will trigger my old issues again. I don’t want to do that because I need to stay healthy for a career in EMS and nursing. Help please. I’m too scared to get on the scale and I hate even looking at myself because I view myself as disgusting. Thanks in advance.
