Losing Weight With Baby Sis

So my baby sis has always been a very physical person. She was a tom by when we were kids, gains muscle easily and the last physical fight we had as teens she almost won because she was suddenly crazy strong. I vowed never to get into a fight with her again because she'd definitely kick my ass even though I was older and larger.

I've lost 40 pounds over the last couple years and kept it off, but still had 30 to lose at the beginning of this year. Meanwhile baby sis was diagnosed with prediabetes and high blood pressure, she needed to lose a 100 pounds. So we decided to do it together with check-ins, etc...She dropped 30 pounds in a month which was really impressive, but of course her weight loss slowed after that.

At the end of May both of us were frustrated with a weight loss situation and decided to do a hard push and drop 15 pounds in 5 weeks, by restricting heavily and exercising even more this includes me going to the gym with baby once a week, I prefer to exercise at home.

She was so annoying. On the one hand she's super supportive and knows a lot on the other hand my thighs hurt so much today. I have to pee and I need to eat but I don't even want to move right now!!! I think she's secretly getting back at me for that last fight when we were teens. *insert crying gif here*

This isn't really a vent, just a whine because my thighs hurt...*sniff*

What does moving average mean in terms of weight loss?

What is moving average in terms of weight loss?

I have recently downloaded the happy scale app and there is an option for moving average? What does this mean? Is it when you weigh yourself everyday and then they determine your average weight loss in a week?

I usually weigh myself every Saturday morning and feel like if I weighed myself everyday I might become obsessed with the number on the scale. So I may go for the 10 day low option, does that mean weigh yourself every 10 days? as they say within those days that’s when the fluctuations occur, I am very confused.

This is probably a dumb af question and I need someone to explain it to me as you would with a 12 year old bc I’m functioning on exhaustion and breastfeeding brain so words aren’t words to me anymore 😅

How does Step count to calories work?

Hello!

I’ve decided to start my weight loss journey been on a calorie deficit for last 3 weeks with no exercise (to ensure diet is was in check didnt want to do much as once )

This week I’ve started incorporating some cardio in form of running/walks - I’m 30 and currently 211 lbs

My question is the following yesterday I ran with mix of walking for 30 minutes and did roughly 3.5k steps

Today I went out on a walk (no running) for about an hour and did roughly 7-8k steps

My question is:

Do you burn more calories by running but doing less steps? Or does more steps (even if its walking) equals to more calories burnt?

When I went on my run I came back very tired/sweating but when I came back from my extended walk I was still sweaty but not to same degree

Thanks!

fitting back into clothes after weight loss possibility?

hello there

over the past years i´ve (M, 192cm, 97-98 kg now) gained some weight (~88-90 kg then) and got a little belly surrounded by fat on my hips
I noticed that i dont really fit into old clothes anymore, especially jackets and T-shirts >
80% of those are size L. They feel a bit "tiny" nowadays so therefore I´d like to ask if some of you were in similiar situations and managed to get back to your old weight in order to fit into those clothes again and if that worked out for you or is it simply not possible for some reason? Gotta be honest and confess that i feel shit about not fitting into these clothes, on some jackets i can barely close the jacket anymore.
Would love some feedback.

I feel like I'm close to throwing in the towel with exercise. What do?

Look, I tried. I really tried. I lost weight and kept it off for a year now. I got into lifting. I tried to build strength and I tried to build skills, I tried to be positive about it and tell myself that I'm learning so much and that I'm becoming stronger, fitter. But I don't feel fitter and I don't feel stronger. I feel like sh*t and if I'm honest, on the inside I'm still convinced that I hate exercise and that I'm a joke for trying to convince myself otherwise. People always say that it comes with time, that you'll start to think differently about yourself once you've built up a habit of exercise. But I feel that this is not true for me. I feel like I still think about myself exactly the same as when I was seriously overweight. Sometimes I wonder what the point of all of this was, if I'm still the same miserable, lazy person on the inside.

I want to build an identity as a fit person but I just can't believe myself. In my head, I'll always be the fat kid who takes any opportunity to skip gym class. I don't really know what to do anymore. I thought about ditching lifting for a while, given that I haven't really made much strength progress in the past few months. But I just think that lifting weights is cool and that being strong is something I aspire to. I don't want to quit it. Also, I'm afraid that whatever I'll do exercise-wise, this image of myself as lazy and unfit will come up and I'll get miserable.

I feel like I've dug myself into a hole mentally and I need to reset my relationship with exercise. I'm afraid I always think of myself as lazy and unfit. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Sorry if this came across as very rambly and has little to do with weight loss. I thought some of you might have experience with struggling to become fit after being "the fat kid".

🖤 Week 1 Results | - 3.6 Pounds

F29, 5'8, SW: 304, GW: 180, CW: 300.4

Week 1 Results: Down 3.6 Pounds or 1.2% !!

Week 1 Recap:

• Agreed to participate in family weight loss challenge of 10% by the end of August (aligns with my secret goals already!)

• Created framework for weight loss (dates, goals, measurements/stats)

• Faked participation in my birthday celebration at work (got fancy coffees – pretended to sip mine, dumped later)

• Bought some athletic gear to make sure I have enough fresh outfits for workouts

• Planned out my fitness routine: starting with days of the week and areas of focus for each day

• Created playlists of workout videos to follow along with, based on focus

• Worked out for 95 mins (sweaty and sooooore for days)

• Husband wanted to get ice cream (he has been on an ice cream kick lately), told him he could if I could get some fresh blueberries, we opted not to do any of it (happened 2x)

• Had a random strong urge to buy/find a snack on my lunch break; did not

• Ate healthy all week (salads, smoothies, veggies, burrito bowl)

• Still had coffee creamer all week, going to take a while to break that habit (I’ll start reducing my coffee intake over the next few weeks)

• Snuck in a quick, unexpected workout while he was getting groceries

• Stayed up late to get some more movement in before weigh-day, even though I have been under the weather all week

Definitely need to get more movement in. That is not enough to get me where I want to be, but a good first week nonetheless.

Back to starting weight two years later

I started my weight loss journey in (well forever ago) June of 2021 after hitting my highest weight of 358.8 and feeling miserable after photos of a very memorable day.

I started to lose weight gradually and then in December of 2021 I started phentermine and topiramate, to help me lose weight. I was 341 pounds at that point.

My lowest weight I have recorded was 300.8 on August 2nd 2022. The last other recorded weight I have is 309 in the end of September 2022.

I since have been off the topiramate and phentermine, and have gone back up to my today reading of 348.6 pounds.

I feel absolutely miserable in my skin. Everything is worse than it was before, I have stomach fat that hangs down much lower than before. My arms are jigglier and harder to get into sleeves.

I guess overall I'm just wanting to vent but I really need to find a way to lose the weight again. Anyone who's still here reading, have you gone through this? Do I just need to start the meds again? Im afraid to go to the doctor again after gaining it all back.
