Day 50

Just like the title says.

Today is the 50th day of my weight loss journey.

SW: 193

GW: 130

CW: 178.34

…. So approximately 50 lb to go.

On the one hand, I’m happy with the progress that I’ve made. I’m enjoying seeing the change in numbers as I go. I’m enjoying already being able to tell that I’m less hot and sweaty than I was before.

On the other hand, it seems like I have a minimum of 150 more days to go… realistically, probably a lot longer going off the posts I see… and it just seems that my goal weight is so very, very far away.

I can’t help but get discouraged when I realize just how much further I have to go and how much longer this is all going to take.

I know that the journey could be a lot harder and longer (I see some of the other posts and I’m very aware that I’m relatively fortunate in this regard) so I don’t want to come off as entitled or unappreciative…. But it all just seems so boring.

How do you guys deal with this?

How do you deal keep weight loss up for so long?

The last 20lb are being the worst

I have been in a weight loss process for a long time. I've already lost about 55lbs, in the beginning I lost weight easily with little effort in diet and training. Any improvement in diet, even if almost insignificant, brought results in my weight, any walk made me lose weight.

Now there are only 20 to go, but they are proving to be the hardest. No matter how hard I try in the gym and on a diet, the result does not come. The weight just doesn't come off and any relapse in eating I gain everything I lost.

The last part of the path is the most excruciating. I started a new workout at the gym and I'm trying to manage my calories as best I can to see if I can get out of this plateau.

Anyway, it's just a rant.

Any tip, advice or rant is welcome.

Should I seek professional help?

19|F| 154cm| 74 kgs.

TW: MENTION OF ED

 I've been successful in the past with weight loss, losing more than 10 kilograms with intermittent fasting and brisk walking. 

But after a low phase, I stopped all effort to lose weight, gaining all of it back. Now I'm back at my starting weight. I've been trying to lose weight inconsistently for around a year now. It does work out, I do lose around a couple kilograms with a deficit and walking. But after seeing some progress, I turn out to become self destructive and start binge eating, ruining all of the said progress. It has been happening for more than a year now. It's very frustrating to put in the effort and then watch yourself sabotage it all. Although, I'm not sure if it's actually an ED. Should I approach a professional or should I try on my own to lose weight? I've been successful in the past, but I cannot seem to pull myself together now. Could it be related to BED or am I just inconsistent? I'm stuck in an all or nothing cycle. Even if I'm consistent with IF, calorie deficit and walking, if I go off track for just one day, I end up bingeing and giving up .Something I have noticed is, even though there's a food item in front of me and I do not usually like it, if I'm on my binge cycle, I'll end up eating more than necessary amounts of it just because it's high calorie and will absolutely ruin my weight loss efforts. It's very self destructive. Note : I do not eat extreme amounts of food while I binge eat. The amount I eat certainly makes me full to the level of being uncomfortable..But I do not know if it's extreme enough to be called an eating disorder.

Weight is coming off too slow?

Hi everyone. I could really use some guidance and tips for my current cut. I have been on this cut since December from being overweight at 180 lbs to now 156 lbs. I am currently consuming 1300 cals a day, I’ve outlined my daily meals below to hit my target macros. I’m doing about 1-1.5 hours of liss cardio 5x a week. I feel as if my weight is coming down very slowly for the amount of cardio and deficit I am doing. I’ve been at 156 lbs for a couple weeks now I think. I’m at the skinny fat kind of stage, so maybe 15% - 17% body fat? My goal weight has been 150 lbs. Any advice? Anything I could improve or do to help keep my weight loss moving forward?

Meal 1: 370g egg whites, 2 slices low cal bread

Meal 2: 100g chicken breast, 120g veggies

Meal 3: 100g chicken breast, 120g veggies

Meal 4: 75g oatmeal mixed w/ whey protein

Meal 5: 170g chicken breast, 120g veggies

Only 170 days remaining until Halloween!

Hello /loseit

Have you purchased a goal weight outfit for motivation? Did it work?

For the last several years, I greeted trick-o-treaters at my door wearing a Charlie Brown outfit. Several years ago, at my heaviest I was Barf from Spaceballs.

My goal for this year is to dress as Captain Pike from StarTrek Strange New Worlds. I’m at a point where I can fit into most XXL shirts I’ve tried but I’m hoping to do more than simply fit. After my upcoming travels, I plan to start gathering items required for the outfit while continuing my weight loss transformation.

Need input from short women who have lost weight through diet and exercise alone

This is probably more of a rant but what are some tips/tricks that worked for you to lose weight and maintain without having to eat like a toddler?

As a “petite” woman the weight loss struggle is real. I’m 5’2, over 35, and have been trying to lose the covid weight these past two years with no luck. At my highest I got to 196, currently 180 and the scale hasn’t budged in a year. I track through my fitness pal, weigh and measure almost all of my food, and work out 4-6 days a week.

Per the tdee calculator my maintenance calories are 1966 and cutting calories 1466. I set it at “light exercise” even though I work out a lot because I don’t want to be overestimating how much I can eat. I tend to stick to 1500-1800 cals because of how much I work out. Sticking to less than 1500 cals results in me getting so hungry that I binge eat. I track meticulously with the only days that are “off” being days we go to a family party or eat out at restaurants since it’s hard to track those calories accurately. We have family parties approx 1x a month and eat out 1-2xs a week.

I do 1.5-2hr intense cardio 1 day a week- 60 min spin class plus 30-60 mins elliptical/treadmill combo. 2 days a week-45-60min walk. 3 days a week- less intense 30 min cycling session and 30 mins weight/strength training.

I had a personal trainer for over 1yr. Saw a registered dietitian for over 1yr. Hypothyroidism and insulin resistant

I’m worried that as menopause gets closer it’ll all be over for me. I’m absolutely not interested in weight loss surgery but am so frustrated I’m considering asking my doctor for the weight loss injections that are all the rage right now. However, I want a long term sustainable solution and I’ve heard you will gain all the weight back and then some of you stop taking the injections. Plus there aren’t any long-term studies about whether they will remain effective years down the line.

If anyone has similar stories/wants to rant/ has something that has worked, please share!

Edit to clarify: I know eating out can add a lot of calories but I did discuss this with my dietician. When I eat out I always cut my portions in half and add veggies. I also don’t regularly eat out 2xs a week. The 1x a week I do regularly eat out is after spin class. It’s a chipotle burrito bowl and per the online nutrition calculator comes out to a 325 calorie meal.
