Very disappointing week, needing some advice and WOE

So I’m 25f, 5’5 , 406lb. Mid June I weighed 456lb.

Im on phentermine and the cravings at first were gone and it was great and I see a dr every two weeks to weigh in for my weight loss. A couple months ago my foot pain got severe, found out I have a heel spur. Got a shot and I had to rest this week.phentermine no longer kicks those cravings. I couldn’t walk as much and all I’ve wanted to do is eat eat eat. I’ve eat like shit for days. I’m very depressed, also just got my period. I’m going on a 10 day camping trip in a few weeks and I’m wanting to build my stamina up and feel good about myself. I’m very upset and disappointed in myself. What have you done to pick yourself back up? TIA

Gaining and loosing...

I'm back. Anyone miss me? I missed me.

I lost a bunch of weight in the years before 2020. I also found myself in a bad work situation that I needed to get out of. By the start of 2020 I was set - I was at an amazing 150 lbs, regularly running 10 miles on weekends, I had finally landed my dream job - Life was great.

We all know what happened then....in Jan/Feb/ Mar of 2020

The dream job became its own adventure when it evaporated, recombobulated itself and morphed into something completely different by September of 2020. Still fun and lots to do, but completely different.

I maintained the weight loss for as long as I didn't drink during the regular COVID Happy hour with friends. By the time the Happy hour lost its popularity, I had started having a couple of glasses of wine with Happy hour - and I had gained 30 lb. back.

At the time, I looked at it as an adjustment: I figured that my body was going to just find that new happy spot - you know, that spot where your body is neither gaining nor losing weight because your input matches your output. Prior to COVID, that balance had settled at around 150 lb. Where would my new habits of working from home all the time, snacking all day and not exercising balance out? I guessed about 180lb, but I was wrong. I finally settled at 210lb. Oops...

It's been 1 year since then. I'm still not regularly leaving the house, but I am off alcohol (no good things come from alcohol) and I m not constantly snacking any more. I have not started working out again, but I'm a happy 175 lbs. That was about the time I started running in earnest last time.

I just got to do it again - and this time, maybe it will stick. 150 lbs. is a little low for me, though - not on paper, just in reality.

Fatty lump on neck?

Does anybody have a fatty lump on their neck? Or had one and it went away with weight loss? I’ve lost 8 lbs also been doing postural exercises for back issues and I have seen no change… I’ve had back issues for years but never a fat lump on the back of my neck, I really hate it, I’m super insecure about it, I just want to see an inkling of improvement. I feel like I’ve been working so hard, I’ve seen progress with my back pain, I’ve seen progress with my weight loss, but that lump just won’t go.. it makes me feel ugly. I’m going for a cushings test because my doctor sends everyone with weight issues, I don’t think I have it, so assuming I don’t have cushings, does anybody have advice?

Anyone else eat dramatically less on workdays, but struggle on days off?

For months now I’ve pretty much eaten no more than 1,000 calories 5 days a week (workdays), but on my two days off every week I’ll eat like 2,000 to 3,000.

This has made my weight loss incredibly slow. I lost 70lbs in 3 months and then lost 10lbs in almost 2 months after that.

Male, 26, 6ft 1in, 468 to 385lbs, goal weight of 225lbs, ever since I hit 399 it has been super slow, and it’s all my fault.

What are some things you do to not eat like a madman on your days off? Dieting is SO easy on my workdays, but on my days off I can’t help myself.

ADHD and weight loss

Hey,

I have ADHD, but I’m trying to avoid medication where I can. I’m wondering if any others with ADHD have successfully lost weight and if there are any adhd specific tips. I always feel like I need something to eat, I almost use it to procrastinate.

Many ADHD medications suppress appetite but im really wanting to try stay off of them and lose weight as I don’t want to rely on them to help me to lose weight.

Yes, I buy in to the idea of making sustainable lifestyle changes, and follow volume eating low calories, high protein lots of fiber, drinking water, and not having unrealistic goals. I guess I’m wondering just specifically if there are tips from Those with ADHD on how you managed to make sustainable lifestyle changes and didn’t rely on medication to suppress your appetite to lose weight. I also track everything but am constantly eating at or over maintenance lately and it’s so discouraging 😟

Thank you!!

Has anybody had loose skin tighten up after you got it?

I'm genuinely curious. I have people all the time telling me that I just need to give my body time. I've seen that it can take up to 2-3 years for the skin to tighten as much as it's going to tighten.

I'm also in the awkward middle stage of my weight loss, so I may just need to allow myself to get to my GW and maintain before I see what is permenant and what isn't. I definitely have loose skin, but the only place I can pinch it is a very specific spot in my upper thighs. I've gone down 55 pounds and I'm going another 20-30 to my goal. I'm also 18, so I have youth on my side.

Weight loss changes

Hey everyone, I'm a 6'2, 19 year old male. I started at nearly 300lbs about 6 months ago. I started working out frequently and watching what I eat, I got down to about 280lbs with a few setbacks, broken ankle, and a cruise ship vacation. I leveled off around 281-285lbs for 2ish months. 1 month ago I started taking phentermime. I've lost 20lbs in the last month. I'm staying hydrated almost always clear to slight yellow pee, and am eating almost all protein and weight lifting 4-6 days a week, lifts have gone up so I'm sure I haven't been losing muscle. That aside, I've noticed my face has definitely thinned out a bit and surprisingly my shoes are fitting looser as if I've lost weight on my feet or maybe swelling has gone down in my feet from the reduction in weight. But one thing hasn't changed much and thats my stomach, I can't seem to notice almost any changes in my stomach aside from it seeming slightly flatter, I was wondering how much weight or a ballpark of how much weight I need to lose to see a noticeable reduction in my midsection, and the same go for my Thighs which seem to haven't had changed at all. Thanks
