Torture

I hate that weight loss is so slow. If you read a book for example, you can decide how much of it you'll read in a day. But you can't decide how much weight you'll lose. It also feels so incredibly unrewarding. When you read a book, you get the information or story you're interested in as you read it. When you're on a diet, you eat and then have to wait hours until you can see how much weight you lost, if any. Yes, I know, at some point it will pay off, but day by day, it's pure torture if you've been at this weight for years and you're chronically ill only because of your obesity.

I never quit a diet out of frustration and I'm not an emotional eater. It's just that 99 kg and 97 kg are equally as horrible to me. I still look like a monster at 97 and I'm still sick at 97. It makes no difference to me, and I can easily quit if I don't feel like I'm achieving anything.

Did anyone else go through this? What helped you?

How to get 112g protein a day in one vegetarian meal?

Hey :)

I need some advice I’m new to weight loss ( the right way) and working out and am trying to figure out how to create a 1300 calorie diet ( I’d lose 0.5kg a week) that is lactose free and vegetarian.

I’ve always been a breakfast sometimes but mostly one big meal a day kind of person, and snack in between on fruits or chocolate or peanuts and raisins, and don’t really count calories. I just eat what’s good, but I’d like to be more intentional in my approach and so can anyone advise on meals or ways to get about 112g of protein a day in one meal?

It’s Time

I’m a 31 year old male and just hit my heaviest at 402! I look big, but I do not look like I weigh 400 pounds.

I live a very busy life with a wife and 2 kids plus traveling 3 weeks out of the month for work.

Airports suck and usually result in a quick snack and from the hotel I door dash a lot.

I’ve really let myself go and lately I’ve been trying to start dropping off pounds by “just winging it”. Seems like any time you try to research weight loss you get 30 pages contradicting each other.

I just want an answer! I have a wife and kids and I want to live a long life to be there with them and for them as long as I possibly can as right now I don’t feel healthy at all. My brain, heart, gut, nothing feels healthy!

Anyone had real sustainable success that can help me save myself?!

Sudden weight gain

So I’ve lost a bit of weight (130- 118lbs) steadily last year, but over the past few months the number on my scale hasn’t changed at all. When I was losing weight, I was eating between 1300-1700 cal’s each day.

I started to go to the gym a couple times a week and that’s when I started eating a bit more. I still ate the same foods I was eating before but at 1600-1700 cals. This was when it started. 2 weeks in and I gained 2 lbs, but I didn’t mind bc I was close to my goal weight (115lbs) and thought I could start building some muscle.

Two weeks went by, and a gained another 5lbs. Now I’m 125lbs, and started to get a bit concerned. Mind you that I was weighting everyday and the numbers were rising consistency, so it couldn’t have been just water. That’s when I went back to my old eating habits 1300-1700cals, still same foods.

Now it’s been over a month of consistent weight gain and it doesn’t seem to slow down. I then tried not going to the gym for a week to see if it was because of bloating or water from the exercises, but nope. Still gained. Some ppl also mentioned that I seem to have gained weight especially in my face and I kinda see it too.

l got sick last week and didn’t really eat or drink much for 2 days (maybe 900 cals). I stepped on the scale later and NOPE, it didn’t even budge.

I don’t understand how this is even possible, I would have to eat an extra 45500calories to gain all this weight. Even if it’s partially water weight, all the times I’ve overate I tracked it to be around 2500cals, and there weren’t many days where I went above my tdee. Even when I overate before at118lbs, the most I would gain the next day is 1-2lbs and it would come off a couple days later. My face is looking rounder and something tells me that it’s fat. I really hate lying to myself and I’ve made sure to track everything, condiments, veggies…etc.

Currently I’m 131lbs and wanna go back to maintaining 118lbs….idk what to do. Here are some extra info -I’m female -5’2 -18 -Currently experiencing some stress and lack of sleep bc of school -although I’m at a higher weight than when I started, I do look better than before because I have more muscular definition now. -consistent weight gain for almost 2 months -very slow weight loss process 6 months -also recently I’ve also been feeling bloated whenever I eat and I’ve found some clothes to be uncomfortable. -I don’t restrict food

Sry for such a long post and rant

Are shoe sizes running larger than they used to, or have my feet gotten smaller with weight loss?

Question in title. For reference, I'm 32F, 5'9", SW 348 lbs, CW 285 lbs, GW 180-200 lbs. I used to be an 11W-12 US in regular women's shoes, sometimes just an 11 in Torrid/Lane Bryant shoes, and a 10 in men's shoes. Last year, I was able to buy plain size 11 shoes in women's from Shein (an online Chinese shopping site), and they surprisingly fit. I've also gotten some shoes from Walmart in a women's size 11. I bought a pair of men's size 10 sneakers from Walmart about 2 months ago, and they were too big. A week or so ago, I borrowed a pair of men's 9 sneakers, and though they were a little snug on my bigger left foot, they fit perfectly on my right foot. I went to Costco the next day and bought some weatherproof sneaker boots in a men's 9 that fit a little looser and have had no issues.

I know jeans sizes (at least for women) have so much variation and seem to have increased. For example, an old size 22 pair of jeans I bought from LB at least 7 years ago is more snug than the size 22 jeans I just bought a year ago, even with similar body composition. I know shoe brands have variation too, but is it this much, especially in men's sizes? I personally think Costco tends to run a little large in some clothes and shoes, but the borrowed size 9 men's sneakers I tried weren't from Costco, the Walmart shoes aren't from Costco (though idk if Walmart sizes run large), and those Shein shoes were definitely not from Costco.

Hair loss after weight loss - anyone else experienced this?

F24 | 162cm | SW: 94.3KG | CW: 77.2KG | Down almost 17KG | GW: 55KG - 65KG

I have very long hair that a take good care of, to my horror I’ve recently realised that it has started falling out much faster! My hair is everywhere all over the house and every time I run my fingers through my hair more falls out.

I’ve been losing weight around 8 months now, I’m 17KG down.

I have been doing the weight loss in a very slow, healthy and sustainable way.

Im not starting to worry that I’m damaging my body by this diet?

Is hair loss a bad sign? Has anyone else experienced hair loss during their weight loss journey?

Is this something I need to worry about?

[I will go to a doctor if I absolutely need to, but r anyone based on the UK will understand why I don’t want to put pressure on the NHS right now over something that is so trivial? Unless it’s really something to worry about?]

what are my next steps?

I am 23m 176.7cm(5.95ft) and 66kg (145lbs). I was overweight at the beginning of the last year 85 kg then steadily dropped down to 65.7kg (last week). Throughout the weight loss journey, I've been in the gym but haven't done much since my schedule was overlapping with it. I believe I was 24.6% fat body percentage at 77kg(aug'23), not sure about now. My current state I do posses a small muscle mass ( probably a bit below average ) , but can't really call myself skinny fat. Since the start of the year I've been on the calorie deficit 1500 a day (100-130gr of protein), my tdee is about 2350-2400 a day. I want to get to 60kg in about span of a ~ 4-5 weeks then begin to lean bulking. Am I doing right? I am aiming to have a lean body.

any tips and recommendations pls:)
