need advice bad

So, I started a weight loss diet in January. I’m 23 years old and my starting weight was 219 and I’m down to 154. I’m also around 5’7 or 5’8 in height. Once a week I reward myself with a cheat meal and eat either fast food or go out and dine. Well, this weekend I was thinking about going to the buffet. Honestly, my cheat days are all I can think about throughout the week. I feel miserable with what I eat up until that day comes around, but I want to get down to 130. My question is, should I go to the buffet?

I also want to vent for a minute. The weight loss diet I’ve been on for months has been pretty extreme. Throughout most of the journey I’ve only ate one meal a day and it was 800 calories or even less most days with no carbs. But I found myself losing weight so fast that I thought it was okay to continue eating like that. Lately, I realized it’s not very healthy and I eat lunch during the day (still healthy food) and then dinner at night. However, when the scale goes up I feel overwhelming guilt and then I find myself not eating enough calories the day after. Have I developed an eating disorder?

What’s your favorite app or tool to keep yourself on track?

I’m thinking I would benefit from a little bit of guidance on my journey. I’ve been in the terrible on/off cycle where I’m great for a week and then completely fall off, or the weekend comes and I destroy all the good I’ve done. I calculated my BMI recently (not a great experience lol) but I know there is more that goes into weight loss than just knowing your BMI. Is there anything that helped any of you calculate your stats and stay on track? Intuitive eating is a huge weak spot of mine. I’m a bored snacker and also partake in the devils lettuce pretty often (I know cutting down on that will also help). Having all the numbers in front of my will hopefully help me see what I need and build better habits. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

I am somewhat new to this community, and weight loss but I wanted to share some info I learned in school, which has helped me tremendously.

As the title states, I’m new to weight loss but after a health diagnosis I got serious about my health and what I eat. Because of that, when I needed an e.c credit for school I chose health and wellness. I read some very helpful information about food and diets. I know this isn’t some new ground breaking information but I hope it would help someone as it helped me. The breakdown of the info was to change the way you look at food and diets. Start with why we need food, we need food to give our bodies energy and nutrients to thrive and survive. If the food we are ingesting doesn’t add to energy and nutrients, your eating for the wrong reasons(food that’s filled with artificial ingredients and sugars, are not helping out bodies and only hurting) when we crave these foods it’s not usually because of hunger but more for boredom or to feel happy, etc. If that’s what’s your craving find the real need your body is asking for. Another thing I learned was geared towards outlook. If you say your “on a diet” you are less likely to stick to it, and go back to your old habits. Instead you can view it as changing the way you live and eat. Viewing it as a lifestyle change can help to stay motivated and focused for longer than saying I’m going on a diet, when we think of diet we think of short-term, weight loss, being miserable, and not good tasting food. Saying I’m changing my lifestyle is a more positive outlook and can help to stay focused on the benefits. Like I said I know this isn’t some new groundbreaking information, but if it can help just one person, like it has myself, it would be worth it to pass on.

Please Help, No Progress

I been working at Weight loss for I believe 6 weeks now, and I haven't lost any weight at all despite eating at a 500kcal deficit. I even asked for advice what I recall being 4 weeks ago, and after utilizing it, still no change on the scale.

I genuinely don't know what's wrong with me. I'm happy to answer any necessary questions as I don't know what information to provide to begin with.

For now, I'll post some basic information.

Weight: 122kg, Height: 183cm, Age: 22, Sex: M, Job: Warehouse Box Mover-er, Side Workouts: I lift a filled water bottle a small amount of times 5 days a week in each arm.

Home stretch plateau: how to get the last 10-20% of the weight off?

Basically, I’ve had a huge weight loss, but my rate of loss has significantly slowed down. People who’ve lost 100+ lbs in the past - how did you get the last pounds off?

In brief, it’s been a 15 month, life changing journey - see flair and snapshot from my Luuze app: https://imgur.com/a/awhm0Sf.

Back in April 2022 I decided that I wanted to be a healthy weight by my 40th birthday, so I aimed for 180, or a 22.5 BMI, the mid-range “healthy weight”. I’m aware that BMI isn’t everything, but it gave me a guideline.

I started doing a lot of cardio, reducing carbs, focusing on low calorie density foods, cutting processed/fast food, watching calories (but not full-on CICO). The weight rolled off at first, there were plateaus here and there, but the a strong downward trend was always there. I had a goal to lose 2lbs a week, and some months I lost twice that. At one point I was 25lbs ahead of my goal.

About 6 months ago, I started serious strength training every other day. I’m getting some real muscle definition for the first time in my life.

The weight loss gap has quickly closed as I reach the home stretch. I’ve lost 127lbs, have 27 to go, and I’m literally exactly on target. In the past month, however, I’ve only lost about 2.5lbs. I really liked feeling “ahead of the game” but now I’m just barely on track.

Looking for tips on getting the final 27 lbs off. Thinking I might have to try intermittent fasting, or really watching CICO, which I’ve never really done before.

Thanks for any help and discussion!

Advice on how to treat this next month of weight loss

 I (22 M) know this is going to be a little long so I'll apologize for the length right off the bat. I've always had a really difficult relationship with my weight. In highschool I lost over 100 lbs and got to 180 lbs(6'4). As I entered college I stayed active and gained some muscle but was overall healthy. When COVID happened and a string of other life events happened I gained a lot of weight. I was still going to the gym off and on so I was still leaner than when I was in highschool but was still uncomfortable in my body. I got to about 260 lbs over the period of two years. I finally decided to recommit to losing weight in December of 2022 and have lost about 35 lbs since. My fitness has improved a great deal and I'm quite proud. This month I've taken a position at a theater camp to teach kids music. I also have a part time position at my university that I am working. I'll be working 60 hours a week until the end of this month. Basically I'm looking for advice on what I should do fitness wise during this period. I've been waking up super early and doing some cardio(either running or incline walking) but I feel exhausted all the time. Should I try to continue working out during this stretch or should I just get through the month maintaining a calorie deficit while not working out?

Are my scales broke?

I weighed myself three days ago and I weighed 60.9kg, I weighed myself today and I weighed 59.5kg. I don't see how it's possible to lose weight that fast since I don't gain weight that fast and I haven't been doing anything differently.

Still on the same caloric deficit and still doing the same workout split, the only thing different is I've been eating less protein because I've not had an oven or a stove to use these few days, so I'm possibly losing muscle but I'm still eating around 60-80g which is a lot less but still good enough for my weight, I think.

My body still looks the same, I've took several photos throughout my weight loss journey but I can't see a difference compared to now and three days ago but to be honest I can't really see a difference in general, the only photo which shows me I've lost weight is the photo I took when I was 65kg.
