Paranoid

I’m 16, soon 17 and have lost 70 pounds since October of 2021.

When I first started I told my mom that I was going to lose weight, and I told her happily when I lost 8 pounds. I updated my progress with her for a while.

My weight loss had been a little fast. The doctors took note of it by the time I had lost 40lbs and asked me questions, like if it was intentional, if I’m getting protein, calories per day, exercise, etc. Overall the doctor was alright with my goals.

The first doctor had my mom step out of the room and talked to me individually. Around 1-2 months later I went to the doctors for something unrelated to my weight but it was brought up by a different one. This doctor didn’t have my mom step out and was the complete opposite. Didn’t ask me my goals or anything, just how many calories I was eating and said that it was a bit low. She also asked if I threw up my food (I don’t, but was still in front of my mom). The calories were the same as what I told the previous doctor. My mom was shocked and said it was too low.

Since then I feel as if my mom has been watching over what I eat. I had already told her months ago I reached my goal. Anytime I’d go in the kitchen she’d be in there, always commenting on what I grab, and would sometimes complain about what I choose from the grocery store. I order about the same amount but all of a sudden it’s too expensive and if I get multiple of one thing she would ask why I got so many. She had never done this before. It makes me feel like I’m not free to eat in peace and I now grab less or only get food when she’s not near the kitchen so I don’t have to face her.

Yay — I've hit 100 days!

Hey all, long time lurker but finally decided to join the conversation!

31F | SW: 18st 2lb (254lb) | CW: 16st 6lb (230lb) | GW1: 14st 2lb (198lb)

I hit 100 days on my weight loss journey this week (narrowly missed hitting my -25lb milestone!!)
I've come this far by logging calories, doing home workouts from YouTube, and walking as much as I can. I weigh every Monday morning.

I've really started noticing more NSVs this month, including:

  • My rings fit my fingers properly again, actually some are even a little loose!
  • I look nicer in my fave dresses, especially my legs! I've started wearing tights instead of jeans under my dresses now, but the fit on everything is so much better.
  • Not having my jeans roll under my tummy when I sit down. My high waists stay high!!
  • Additionally — being able to comfortably wear UK size 16 again! (was a tight 18 when I started)
  • Being stronger! Like, actually being able to do 30 seconds worth of push ups, even if it's still on my knees mostly!
  • Having more energy and concentration.
  • Being able to breathe better, especially when taking the stairs at work!
  • TMI: Being able to reach/see my 😼 properly when it's play time... iykyk.

I hope looking back at these NSV's and the habits I've developed will keep me motivated as we start coming into Winter/Christmas. I worry about losing my progress around that time. I mean, of course it won't be linear but (hypothetically) if I keep consistent at a 2lb loss per week I'll have surpassed my GW1 by Christmas which is exciting to think about!

Parents sabotaging weight loss

Hi, I still live at home with my parents for financial reasons so can’t escape them being around all the time. I’m trying to lose weight but they (my mum especially) keep buying me so much junk food and constantly wanting me to eat it and saying things like “you haven’t eaten it yet” when I say “okay I might have it later”.

I’m getting really panicky and angry about it because I desperately want to lose weight but feel so guilty if I don’t give into them. Sometimes I get so upset about it I want to shout at them to back off and please let me lose weight, but if I do that then I’ll be the bad guy.

What do I do? How do I cope? I’m so sick of everything in our house being junk food and my parents constantly forcing food down my throat.

And please don’t say “just don’t eat it” because if it was that simple I wouldn’t be asking for help. It’s really getting the better of me I’m trying so hard but they keep sabotaging me.

Help.

Pretty much the title. I have always struggled with my weight. I was 500lbs and decided to get a weight loss surgery. I ended up being 230lbs and maintained for a few years.

Drama ensued, life went crazy and I am now back to 380. I need help. It's extremely hard for me to not eat/fast. I have tried so many things to lose weight, make progress for a few days but I end up gaining weight back. It seems like trying to lose weight on my own is impossible and I am so lost and depressed about it.

Some things about me. I am 6'4 and do carry my weight very well. I do not look like a 380lbs man. I am severely allergic to certain fruits. I will try anything and am willing to work with someone on this.

If this isn't the place to post please let me know where to go so I can get help. I feel trapped in my body and I just want to be healthy and happy again.

TL;DR Need help, gained weight back from weightloss surgery and want to lose weight as fast and soon as possible.

Thank you in advance.

I think fat loss stage is starting

Hi, im M21, 5’11 currently 267.8lbs (starting weight 289.9lbs) im on my 4th week of dieting & going consistently to the gym 5x a week with 2 rest days. I have lost 22.1lbs in the past almost month. Im assuming its all water weight. For the past 3 days i have been going down weight by .2lbs per day. Im assuming i have lost the majority of the water weight. I know after that initial drop the weight loss/ FAT LOSS process tends yo be slow. Im just wondering if im at the fat loss stage now or if i should still give it a while? Or have i startes losing fat already with water weight? I strength train 5 days a week & have been increasing weights not decreasing.

I weight the same but look thinner

I turned 18 recently and noticed how I gained weight over the past few months. When I was 15 going on 16 I went through a massive weight loss (about 20 pounds/9 kg) and since then I've gained the weight back. I noticed though, that I look much thinner than when I weighet the same two years ago, my face is not as round, my stomach is flatter and my arms are thinner. Does this have to do with developing as a teenager? I went through a very sporty phase and gained a lot of muscle, but that was more than two years ago so I don't think it has to do with that though. Thoughts?

I know why I binge !

Hello hope you all are doing good I just wanted to say this to someone but I couldn’t so I decided to say it online anonymously. So for the context I am a 15 yrs old female 79 kg 179 I started my weight loss journey around the ending of the month of June starting at 93 kg since then I lost 10 kg and I am happy but i currently have been struggling because I still have another 10 kg to lose and the process had been slowed down due to me binging at least 4 time a week !!! And I binge about 2000+ when I am supposed to eat 1300 calories And I have been looking for different solutions but yesterday night I thought about half of my childhood, growing up as an only child I had nothing to do so I would eat and I wouldn’t stop so my parents would hide snack away and I always felt as if I had a limited time before I could have the snacks again but yesterday night my father secretly brought me a big pack of kinder bueno and I didn’t want my mother to know because she was gonna say that It was gonna make me fat that I was getting bigger and all that stuff, so I hid the chocolate box under my bed at a very far distance from me and told myself that I could have it when I wanted and that I had control over it Sorry for the grammar mistakes enfouis not my first language Have a nice day 😊😊
