as of today i’ve reached my GW and lost 30 pounds in 3 months. thankful for this sub!! 🦃🥳

F24 5’5 HW: 160 CW: 130

wanted to thank this sub for getting me into my own little Fitness Journey that i was actually able to healthily stick to instead of trying to just force my body into the shape i wanted it to be. in the last 3 months i’ve read so many of your advice threads, bookmarked so many of your comments, upvoted so many of your progress pics and yummy meals, i def am thankful for this community.

i’ve never lost weight in a healthy way before and have always despised exercise and while i haven’t been 100% perfect about it this sub has helped me greatly with both of these things. never in a million years thought i’d be a workout girlie but next up is recomp!! also never thought i’d be the type to be posting about weight loss on reddit but here we are lol.

rly excited to continue to show myself that im capable of having a positive relationship with my body.

happy thanksgiving :)

edit: i guess there’s a word minimum lol so i added more W-posting

Should I take a break from this cut?

18M. Basically, I've been cutting since the school year started (August) and have since then lost 4kgs. Small loss I know, but I lost A LOT of fat. My waist went from 32 to 28, so I guess even though my weight loss is slow my fat loss has definitely been going good.

My problem now is that I've fallen into another one of my binge episodes. I binged 3 days straight last week after winning a bag of sweets and candies (It was BIG) from a school competition. Then I binged again last Tuesday. These episodes are also accompanied by anxiety, uncontrollable mood swings, lack of sleep, and feeling weak throughout the day.

Is it time for me to take a maintenance week?

My sister deleted my weight tracking app

I (25f) have been fat my whole life, in the last 8 months i lost a good amount weight, i have been documenting my weight loss journey using this app, recently my sister lost her phone so i gave her my old one since i trusted she wouldn’t mess with my stuff( i know i am stupid), this phone is the one that has the weight loss tracking app, today i was feeling tired of the diet and my body since i haven’t been doing well lately and wanted to see how much i have lost to motivate myself, but guess what ? The bitch had deleted the app since she wanted some memory, i am heartbroken i feel like my effort that i have been documenting for a very long time is now gone, the tracking app was a really good way for me to get my shit together, this maybe a silly rant but it really meant a lot to me.

Can I enjoy my thanksgiving without sabotaging my weekly weight loss?

I really don’t want to count calories on thanksgiving, but I also don’t want to sabotage my progress for the week. I currently eat 1250-1350 cals a day and so far have been seeing progress. I’m 136 lbs 5’4 females and tomorrow I don’t plan on going over 2,500 cals I doubt I’ll even eat that much but will be close to that. Does having a cheat day a few times a month but not going over 2,200-2,500 cals stop me from losing weight? I’m not in too big of a rush to lose and I can do good for most of the week but I feel that I need at least one day to enjoy myself. I started my diet 3 weeks ago starting at 144 lbs and now I’m currently at 136.

How to be patient and enjoy the weight loss process?

Hello! I am finally slowly but surely shedding the weight off, hopefully for the last time! I started out at 215 and am now at 208 (not a huge difference, but it’s taken me months to actually gain momentum in my weight loss.) I am 5’7 and my goal weight is either 150 or 160, I’ll basically stop when I’m satisfied with how I look. I honestly feel an urgency when it comes to losing weight. Having lost weight before (245 to 150), my progress isn’t anything new or exciting. I don’t look the worst I ever have but I know I could look much, much better. I find myself ruminating on being overweight and how I let myself gain some of the weight back. I did the math and I probably won’t like how I look until March, which feels like a long time from now. I genuinely want to enjoy the process, because losing weight is one day at a time. So how can I be patient and deal with how slow this journey is? Any suggestions? The first time I lost weight I was unemployed! But I kept busy by reading everyday, going on two hour walks, etc…. Should I just aim to be busy to get my mind off repetitive thoughts bashing how fat and unattractive I feel? Maybe I’m fixating on this because I’m kind of on vacation and don’t have work to distract me.

Weight loss success without counting calories?

Hi all, I'm new here. I'll cut right to it - basically the question in the subject. I'm 46 and really struggling with my weight. I've been unsuccessfully calorie counting practically my whole life. I know calorie counting works, but it's a daily struggle and I'm NEVER consistent. I know this is a "me" problem.

I am thinking of just focusing on eating more mindfully and concentrating on higher protein/fat/fiber/vegetables to keep me full, as I feel like I can ALWAYS eat.

I almost feel like if I'm not worrying about everything I eat fitting into a number or having to track everything I eat that I might actually be successful. I think tracking and focusing on a number too much is what is causing me to fail daily. I know calorie counting works for a lot of people! It just doesn't seem to work for me. In fact, it makes me miserable.

Any thoughts?

Where do I start

So I’m a 22f 5”4 160 lbs and my goal is to get down to 125-130lbs. I have had a bad eating disorder and then started binge eating once I moved in with my significant other. I’m currently in grad school but when I go home for breaks It’s easy to NOT eat(my mother and older sister suffer with an ED). I don’t have much time to work out, I have school full time and work in an office (sit a lot). Does anyone have suggestions how I can kickstart my weight loss journey? I want to do it in a healthy way, but I don’t have the time to go to the gym. Thank you :) * I have a bad BAD relationship with food. Has anyone ever discovered a way to actually love and appreciate food the right way… or ways to stop binge eating? It’s horrible 😭
