I feel fat and out of control

I've tried to restart my weight loss journey so many times. But instead I gained about 2 to 3 kg again. I met someone and we go out on dates and food is often part of those. But that's not the worst part. It's all the eating I do besides that. It's like I constantly want food. I know I am unhappy at my job (looking for something new) and I average 5 to 6 hours of sleep a night which also doesn't help.

I am so frustrated and i feel so crazy fat. Because of my commute of about 4 hours a day I can't even go do sports after work as I have to walk my dog and try to do some household chores too. I feel like I am running behind on everything and the only thing that brings some joy is food. But at the same time it doesn't bring me joy on the long term, because I eat a lot of sugary snacks that make me feel sluggish afterwards. I need to get out of the cycle I am in of eating fast and easy snacks. I have also wasted so much money on take away... it's crazy.

I feel like my stomach is also just so upset by the food I am eating which makes me feel so bloated. And the thing is, I don't enjoy the food anymore.

I really need to get my act together, but I feel so out of control right now.

How can I (36/F) lose 80 lbs in 5 months? What has worked for you?

PLEASE BE KIND ❤️

Hi all. I am 36/F, 380lbs, 5'5. I have the crapiest metabolism known to man, ontop of living a predominately sedentary lifestyle. I am so sick of being this big and ready and willing to make a change.

I recently got all my bloodwork done, along with a physical and all my numbers were pretty good other than my cholesterol being a bit high as well as my liver enzymes being slightly above normal. This motivated me even more.

I spoke to a few professionals and weight loss pros and they've told me that with my current weight it is possible to lose 80lbs in 5 months. Start by cutting out all junk, exercising, and getting into a calorie deficit. I have some things I want to start doing, but I wanted to come here and ask if anyone else has achieved this? If so, what exactly did you do?

All tips and advice are welcome. :) And yes I know "slow and steady wins the race, but I also know being this overweight can help with losing a lot of weight fast, esp in the beginning.

Thank you :)

How can I convince my friend to not try this “cleanse”

So my friend recently sent me a couple of videos on tiktok of a man claiming that he lost “25 pounds in 4 days” and that he can “help you possibly lose more”

I took a look at his page and he is promoting eating nothing but mangoes or watermelon for 30 days straight and claiming he has a detox “plan” to remove parasites and waste from your body.. this possibly can’t be safe, right?

He also claims that drinking water (specifically h20) isn’t healthy because it removes minerals from your body.. I think it’s complete bullshit and I want to prevent anyone from trying this “cleanse” for health reasons.

I’ve tried to explain to them that CICO is an effective way to weight loss as I’ve dropped a good amount of weight over the last 6 months but it just takes time and consistency.

What are some ways this “cleanse” can be harmful to somebody? And even if it does per-say work, I don’t think a drastic weight loss like that can be sustainable.

Hopefully me showing them this thread can convince them or anyone else curious about these types of methods otherwise.

Eating more when I work out

All right, my question is, do I need to eat more on days that I work out to maintain my current deficit?

I’ve got it dialed in to where I am losing 2.7 pounds a week and I am super happy with that. My doctor says that since I’ve got so much weight to lose that I’m ok to lose up to 3 pounds a week.

I’m starting to work out more, because everything is easier now that I’ve lost 45 pounds. My concern is I will increase my weekly weight loss by adding in more workouts and not more calories.

Obviously I know I will plateau at some point, and I will need to either add more of a deficit or more workouts in order to keep losing weight, but I believe I’m away from that.

Also I’ve heard that calorie burning trackers like Apple Watches are super inaccurate. So any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Will chronic insomnia ruin my weight loss?

Hi all, im 16F looking to lose weight but suffer with chronic insomnia. I am on a calorie deficit and exercise as much as i can to try and make up for the damage my sleep is probably doing.

I get 4-6 hours of sleep every 2-4 days. I have recently heard that bad sleep ruins your metabolism and makes you gain/not lose weight.

Ive been gaining and losing the same 3kgs for 3 months now and im wondering if its my sleep. I hard reset my diet and exercise last week to try combat this but it might just be pointless if the insomnia ruins it all.

DAE have this problem? Advice needed. (no melatonin doesnt work and sleep pills i get prescribed all have a weight gain/hunger side effect which i would rather not risk)

How do I begin exercise without giving myself a heart attack?

I (20M) am 5'11 (180cm) and 300lbs (about 137kg). I know that I am morbidly obese, but I've had a hard time nailing down my diet. After doing some research, I am comfortable enough in my ability to keep on a healthy diet.

​

The one thing that gives me anxiety about starting my weight loss journey is beginning exercise. I see all of these workout videos on tiktok and instagram and on weight loss websites, but I'm worried that If I overexert myself, then I'll give myself a heart attack. My heartrate jumps to about 150 just from walking up one flight of stairs. I'm scared of starting for my heart, but I'm even more scared of not starting for my heart.

​

What are some things I could do to ease into exercising? Wil I give myself a heart attack from trying to work out?

​

Thanks!

Lost 200lbs twice and regained it twice

I'm at my highest weight ever, and it seems that I've learned nothing from my past 2 weight loss experiences. I've been obese my whole life since I can remember. I wasn't even 3 years old and I already had man boobs. Food is like a drug to me, it comforts me. It makes me feel good and hopeless at the same time. I feel like an addict, and I hate myself for it. I'm 25 and Im starting to fear being this heavy for my health I have a family that I want to be around for. I just don't know how to help myself anymore. Losing another 200lbs seems like a journey on top of a mountain. Sorry just needed to vent
