How to lose weight with a partner? Tips? Tricks? Recommendations?

So, when I am single I can lose and maintain weight loss easily however, in a relationship I seem to gain and cannot lose weight.

In my current relationship I have gained almost 10kgs and I am not happy with myself and am struggling to lose it.

When I am single I don't keep a heap of food at home, exercise morning and night and inadvertently intermittent fast.

However, in a relationship we always have food at home, I work out either morning or night (not both as to spend time with my partner) and I have massive food FOMO so eat whenever my partner eats.

What are your tips, tricks and recommendations for losing weight when living with a partner?

[Update] Almost a year in my weight loss journey, some questions regarding fat loss

I'm updating this post which is four months old: https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/12v4oxv/have_i_done_something_wrong/

27M, 6ft.

Long story short: I was 250+ pounds in September 2022, I'm now 188 pounds and I've never felt as good in my life. I started lifting weights four months ago and I'm really enjoying the process. Even when I went on vacation this summer, I still managed to lose two pounds when I came back while still eating everything that I wanted and drinking a lot.

​

So while everything might look bright, I'm still having concerns regarding my belly pooch and my love handles, which are the things I really hate about my body, but those don't seem to shrink that much. I'm getting worried because i'm nearing my ideal weight (which should be around 170), but I don't really see how losing 15-20 pounds would get rid of all that fat I still carry, it seems like I'd need to lose way more in order to have a flat stomach and no more love handles. I feel that if I go under 170 lbs, I'll lose too much muscle, and i don't want that either since i've been trying to recomp over the past few months.

​

I know people on the older thread told me to keep on going without worrying too much, and that there is the paper towel effect and all of that, but I'm still not convinced. I've seen other people's weight loss journey and it seems much more coherent and linear compared to mine. My belly and love handles are still way too prominent after a year, and I'm scared it might be due to genetics. Is there anything such as subcutaneous fat that is impossible to lose? Should I consider surgery at some point?

Need some help

Hello all. I’ve (21F, 5’6, 310) lost weight in the past but I’ve never gotten as bad as I am now. No matter what I do I just gain and gain. I exercise, have been eating better, and watching my portions. But right now? I can’t lose anything. My CW is the heaviest I’ve been. Last time I was nearly starving myself to lose weight via a weight loss program. As of now with trying to lose weight on my own, it’s like I can’t lose anything. I’ve been trying to lose weight since summer of last year and nothing is working. A part of my believes that it could be medication related or maybe a health issue. I don’t know.

What do you guys recommend?

Starting out with calorie counting, is 20.5lbs in a month too fast?

For some context I started my weight loss journey at 5ft 6 and 275 pounds, a woman and turning 30 next month.

When pregnant with my most recent baby I developed gestational diabetes, and type 2 diabetes runs in my family. Now things are settled at home I decided to give my health a real kick up the ass and finally sort myself out for my kids.

Did a little research on calorie deficits and sacked off all the fad diets and do it properly this time.. but people have told me im losing too much too fast, the last thing I want to do is cause some other kind of issue for myself, I'm happy for it to take a long time as long as I'm heading in the right direction.

I went on an online deficit calculator and it told me to start at 1750 calories a day and reduce this as I lose more weight.

In my first week I lost 6.5lbs and every week since (4 more weeks) ive lost 3-4ish pounds, at 20.5lbs in total.

I'm a mum to 2 young kids so for the first 2-3 weeks my activity levels were just looking after them. Then recently I started a workout routine, doing 3 x 30min low intensity cardio sessions, one full body weight training session and one leg day a week (this isnt a lot to some people, but this is the first time in my adult life I've worked out so trying to ease into it).

Im assuming that my losses will slow down fairly soon, but am I doing something wrong like people are saying, or is this good progess for someone as overweight as me just starting out?

Thank you for any help :)

Need some beginner advice

So, I’m new to this whole weight loss thing. As in, “just learned what a calorie was” sort of new. I know, don’t judge me too hard. Growing up I was fairly athletic and didn’t really need to count them to stay in shape. Now that I’m an adult and in a sedentary desk job, I’ve gotten heavier over time.

I started counting my calories this week, and I’m eating about 500~1,000 over maintenance. Not great, I know. Next week I plan to eat at maintenance, and then reduce it week by week. Is this the right idea? I’m not entirely sure how much I should be reducing things by, just that I’m supposed to follow CICO, and not go lower than 1,300 or so. So many sources online say different things, so I’m getting overloaded by a lot of different information.

32M, 5’5”, 175 lbs., if that helps. I reinstated my gym membership and plan on doing cardio and weights every day as well. If there’s anything I’ve gotten wrong here, please let me know. I don’t want to make mistakes and have to unlearn something later.

Does anyone have any anecdotes about the side effects of steroid use for weight loss?

Recently my group of gym friends switched to a larger gym and they’ve all started gravitating to this guy who approached us swearing he has a connection for TRT, Tren & all the other stuff. I don’t know how I feel about any of that, it feels drastic & maybe i’m just tired of hearing the boys go on & on about it but I get this feeling this dude is grifting the fuck out of my friends. He hasn’t done anything wrong or provocative but it’s still just a gut feeling, He’s huge but when he works out he gets so bright red and the sound that his lungs make when he exhales just can’t be healthy; like there’s a reason these substances are illegal right? I guess I just need something to say when my friends bring up why I haven’t contacted him yet or tell me that i’m overthinking shit. they’ve all e-transferred him money and came to the conclusion he’s legit because of how many verified accounts interact with him (I am not making this up)

How do I tell my friends they are being dumb & desperate without saying that outright. sorry if this isn’t the right sub for this but every other fitness sub I follow seems to have a fairly blasé view on steroids

I'm a bit lost as to what I should be doing when it comes to weight loss

I(23F)started my weight loss journey with my boyfriend just about a month ago. We don't live together so I'll just share what I've been doing(until this week): I did IF for almost a month(16:8) but with my work days, the scheduled eating times I set for myself weren't working then my boyfriend and I tend to go get breakfast at like 11 so I have to reconsider IF in the mean time. Other than that, I've increased my protein intake the best way I can since I don't eat meat,cut out all sugary drinks and hardly ever eat any real sweets. Along with that, I've also been eating fruits and vegetables WAY more than I used to. All under a 1500 calorie deficit and that's usually manageable(Max being 1600). And we usually go to the gym 2 times a week so far given our schedules but I might aim for 4 starting this week. Overall,I've lost about 20 pounds in just 3 weeks but I feel like I need to do more. I currently weigh about 246, and my goal is 150 and I'm aiming for a lean body.

But here is where I am a bit puzzled: Should I strength train in order to lose fat and pair it with a calorie deficit as well? I just need clarification on how the fat loss and muscle increase works and if pairing strength training with my daily calorie intake would be ideal. Or alternatively, what should I do differently in order to achieve my goal?

CW:246 lbs GW:150 lbs Height: 5'0 ft

Please help!
