Those of you who’ve yo-yo dieted for years, and then finally lost weight and kept it off, what changed?

I’ve been losing weight and gaining it back (plus some) for 15 years now. I’m sick of it! Most recently I lost 30 lbs and kept it off for 6 months. Then I had some health issues and gained 55 lbs 🤯.

Recently every time I “start” my weight loss journey again I can’t be bothered to continue because a voice keeps telling me it doesn’t matter, since even if I manage to lose weight I’ll just gain it all back again.

Hence my question. What changed for you? How were you able to keep the weight off long term?

Falling off the horse a bit - Need Help!

Hi Guys, this has been my most successful weight loss attempt in 10 years. I dropped from 108kg (March) to 96kg (as of April 10). However, I started to plateau, I am at 1500 calories, but I've recently been having these mini "Cheats" once a week because I am getting a bit burned out eating chicken breast, and fish.

I brine my meats, season etc.. but recently, I've just gotten really tired of it. From april 10 to Now, I've only lost 0.5kg, (95.5kg as of writing) and I know it's because I've been sneaking in a burger here and there, or a sub, or some chinese food. I have managed to stay far away from sugar at least.

I hope you guys can share some tips, I think I just need to change my food somehow. I am thinking of buying a turbo broiler or airfryer so I can have some crispy chicken or something (coatted using cornflakes and eggwhites).

Starting My Weight Loss Journey (again)

I have been lurking in this community for a long time and am inspired by the many successful weight loss journeys and the overall positive vibe. I have been overweight my entire life and always felt out of control when it comes to food. My highest weight was 220 pounds when I gained 25 pounds during covid. I have been yoyoing about 15 pounds for months now and would like to move forward. I recently completed the Whole30, but I feel it was too restrictive for me. For the past few weeks, I have felt out of control and gained about 5 pounds back. My new health plan is more sustainable and something I believe I can stick to for the long run. I have PCOS, and I can lose weight when I eat under 100 grams of carbs and stay away from processed foods for the most part. I am doing CICO and trying to lose around 2 pounds per week. I recently was accepted into grad school, and I would like to feel confident when I begin the program in September. I know I can do this, and this community has already helped me in my journey so far. I plan to check in here once a month. I am 31F, 5’6, and my starting weight is 205 pounds. Let’s do this!

Additional workout advice?

I'll just get straight to the point:

I'm looking for weight loss exercises to add to my current routine. I currently do Beat Saber for 30 mins at a time, 3+ days a week. With the way I do it, this is equivalent to dancing in terms of exercise.

I've heard that weight lifting helps speed up weight loss but I'm not sure where to start with this. There's a lot of tips and advice all over the web but a lot of different things claim, "This is THE right way to go!" and I'm not really sure where to start.

Worth noting: My apartment has a small gym and I have access to treadmills, dumbbells, resistance bands, and yoga balls.

Any advice is appreciated!

Losing muscle, not fat. Macros to blame?

Over the last four weeks I've been eating 500kcal under my maintenance. In this time I've lost 1kg.

However, according to my renpho scale my body fat percentage has increased. My measurements have all stayed the same, so I believe I'm losing muscle.

My current macros are: Carbs: 50% Fats: 30% Proteins: 20%

I am also anemic, with a slow thyroid which may be accounting for the slow weight loss. I'm still pushing myself to exercise three times a week, and hate to think that all this effort is going to waste.

Would love any advice from people who have knowledge about macros, or who have been in a similar situation

Unexpected

Hi everyone!

To make a long story short, I’ve been overweight and extremely depressed for 15 years.

I started taking Prozac and it has changed my life. I haven’t felt the need to overeat since I started taking it, and it has led to my unexpected weight loss journey.

I’ve lost about 12 pounds in 6 weeks. All I’ve done is reduced the amount of calories I consume. I eat whatever I want in moderation, drink a ton of water, and I don’t exercise much.

My question is if this is normal and ok? Should I be concerned? Should I bring this to my doctor’s attention?

TIA!

So averse to healthy foods I’d rather not eat at all!

Anybody else relate to this? Especially as an adult I find it so difficult to relate to my peers because I’m so fussy.

It’s so strange to me as well and seems so unfair that although everybody has food likes and dislikes, that I only like unhealthy food.

For context, I’m not living on chips and chicken nuggets etc like you see with some people, I eat plenty variety and do eat some fruit and veg and take vitamins to help with what I don’t eat.

HOWEVER even with veg, people say raw is healthiest, steamed is ideal if you want it warmed. I need to boil the hell out of vegetables until I almost can’t taste them and they’re super soft to enjoy them. Bananas are healthiest the less ripe they are, I only like them when they’re almost brown they’re so overripe - only found out recently that at this stage they’re basically just pure sugar!

I can’t stomach any cold veg like salad etc. I do always have veg in my meals because I know I should but they’re very well cooked and preference wise I would rather not have them in there lol

I know that weight loss doesn’t only come from eating healthy BTW - I just felt like this is a community that might be able to relate haha
