Tell me about your weight loss journey on depopravera.

This birth control weight gain is honestly about to make me get off of it. I gained 10 lbs between my first and second shot and i was already overweight (5’9 205 now 215). My gyno told me it will stabilize eventually but i want to lose the damn weight. I dont like the idea of beginning my fitness journey and having to fight something like birth control. Can anyone ease or confirm my fears? Any other suggestions of BC aside from IUD that may not have such a dramatic gain?

Since ive learned about my 10 lb gain I have been monitoring my calories, going to the gym every other day doing cardio with some weights, and the past two wks i went to the gym M-F. I am burning 700 calories per workout according to my watch. I feel like im doing great. But the depoprovera weight gain paranoia lingers in my mind daily.

I may or may not get that third shot.

Best Book If You Deal With Overeating And Want To Lose Weight

I’ve been reading this book called “The Binge Code” by Alison Kerr it is such a life changer. The author breaks down the habits that we are stuck in, diet ideologies we have been trained to believe,how our bodies fight against us when we do extreme diets, and how to fix these issues. She is not anti diet which I love she just wants people to diet in a way that won’t trigger you into overeating and I’ve struggled with overeating/binge eating for such a long time I’m currently on chapter 13 and I’ve implemented the tips she’s given and I’ve been successful in my diet and weight loss so far. I definitely recommend you can find the book on audible and kindle.

Weight loss is all or nothing for me, how do you find balance?

I'm 33F, 5'3, HW 267/CW 247/GW <200. Diagnosed ADHD, PCOS, BED.

My problem is this. When I'm not actively trying to lose weight, I feel like I don't think about food at all. I'll realize I'm hungry, decide what I want to eat, and eat it. And then I don't think about food again until I'm hungry again. If I'm sad or stressed, well, then the bingeing comes into play, but I'm still not sitting at my desk planning all the things I'm going to mow down at 5 o'clock, I just see things in the store, think 'yep, that'll surely fix it,' and in the cart it goes. I weigh myself once in awhile, when I remember I haven't done it in days to weeks.

When I am actively trying to lose weight, which I would like to start doing again now, I am constantly thinking about food: what I'm going to eat and when I get to eat it, literally counting down the hours. Then I do lots of math and obsessive tracking.

I have to plan and pre-track everything for the whole day so I won't exceed my calorie goal and also get the right macros. I've heard macros don't matter so much for most people, but because I have PCOS I know I should be eating low carb and since I'm not working out a lot I know I shouldn't eat too much protein, so I gotta track.

And weighing myself? I do it every day, in the morning, absolutely naked. I even take off my glasses and my hair tie. I need to know my exact weight and I do not want even .1 extra.

So basically...how can I not do that?

My flatmate always offers me a sweet. Should i just receive it and bin it later without eating?

I mean, like 3-4 times a week she’ll either hand on me a piece of cake, a donut, or other treats. Anything she hands on me will provide at least almost 300kcal or above sometimes.

If you think why i can’t just eat it and burn it later, i mean i work out to create calories deficit of 200-300 (and another 200-300 from eating, so my deficit is 400-600 everyday). If i eat it and burn it later, in this case i’ll create only 200-300 calories deficit a day.

If it was once a week i wouldn’t mind. But this is 3-4 times a week and i feel uncomfortable to tell her that i’m trying to lose weight. (That’s because i don’t look fat anymore but my weight is still little overweight, so i want to manage it a bit more).

Since she’s been here my weight loss rate is much slower as i’ve always received the treat from her. What should i do?

I need to loose 8 - 10kgs by the 15th may - so roughly 2 months. What is the best way to do so? Any advice? I am 20, female and currently 60kgs. I am 160cm. I’m in Scotland. Please help! I feel very unhealthy and gross, i do eat (mainly) healthy, but i have a real sweet tooth for chocolate and biscuits especially. I work a 9 - 5 desk job, but i do try to go for short 20min walks every day. I have time to meal prep / cook, I’m happy to cook from scratch. I have a trip to the USA for two weeks at the end of this month, so i will need to work around this / with the foods available whilst I’m there and the logistics of travelling. So determined to get rid of this weight for good! Please hit me with your best advice.

(Mental) Health and Weightloss

I didn’t realize until 2020 I had anxiety and depression. By then I had tricked myself into believing my love for food came from social activities with friends and family. I figured out I had a food dependency when I caught myself eating a lunch I had bought in the car in hopes to eat alone and not have to talk/share with my aunt after a stressful.

I started a health journey on and off and was able to lose 10 lbs before hitting a plateau back in 2022-23. I was at my heaviest at 197 lbs this year after working from home and slipping into a really bad depression. I just started to take care of myself again. I’m eating healthier as a start. I’m trying to incorporate more exercise but find myself in fear of exerting myself too much. My family teases I’m a hypochondriac but I don’t have the money or insurance to see a medical professional to tell me I am or am not the things I think I am. I start a new job with decent benefits at the end of the month and need to wait an entire month for insurance to kick in afterwards.

I feel like my 10lbs weight loss this far is being overshadowed by the anger and anxiety I have for allowing myself to get this big and unhealthy, and for having only now caring about the repercussions that I’m anxious about. It sucks because depression took me out at the worst when I went fully remote, and I didn’t know how to tell anyone. I stopped bathing daily. When I could sleep, I would. I’d stopped walking on my walk pad, I overate, or didn’t eat much. I stopped brushing my teeth daily even. I hated myself. But the part of me that loves me a little is fighting to continue the weight loss through the health anxiety.

I’m just praying and hoping I continue to do this for me, and I stop falling into letting depression and anxiety take over.

Anyway, thanks for listening. I hope everyone success and more in the weight loss journey we’re on.

Can people share times they have suddenly noticed their weight loss?

I’ve lost just over 10% of my body weight and for the longest time I felt I could not tell at all, I took progress photos over the course of 3 months and nothing looked different!

This morning though, I looked in the mirror and practically gasped, there were quite noticeable dimples in the skin under my cheek bones, it looked like I had contour on! I can feel them with my fingers and my cheekbones look more pronounced. It’s so odd, I definitely didn’t look like this yesterday 😂

Has anyone else had experiences like this where they’ve noticed a change in their body practically overnight?
