Weight loss trophy

Anyone else keeping their belt as a reminder of how far they have come? Every time I get to drill a new hole is like getting a positive stamp on my report card

It’s actually pretty cool if you are not doing it. It’s been a great reminder for me on days when I don’t notice progress. I can look at my belt and see where I started Vs how far I’ve came.

I admit it’s a little ridiculous to use a belt that is way to big for me now but man, it’s nice to have something tangible that you can reference. Especially with guilt training when you go over calories. I can see with my own eyes that it didn’t ruin my progress if I can use the same belt hole the next day

41/m/215lbs, 35 down, halfway to goal weight, OK to build during deficit?

Intermittent fasting, meat/cheese over a huge amount of greens daily. Down 35 lbs since January 21st and well on my way to my 180lb goal. I thought of maybe trying to get lower but not sure how that would look. Lean body mass appears to be about 160lbs.

Fat seems to be mostly coming out of my midsection now with nearing and inch off my waist weekly. In the instance that the weight loss itself starts to slow, definitely gonna focus on inches as the motivator.

Has anyone had any luck building muscle while being on some calorie restriction? It seems a little counterintuitive but not sure if it's feasible

What was the key thing that helped you to lose weight?

Hi all!

I am just starting my weight loss journey, but there is so much information online that I don't really know where to start! What was the key thing that helped you in your journey to lose weight? Just wanting to know to get an idea of some good things to incorporate into my lifestyle.

Also, I am 5'2, SW 157lbs, GW 120lbs. I was originally 120lbs, but gained most of the weight within the last 2 years. I've had a poor diet, no exercise routine, & drank a lot of alcohol (a lot of my fat is concentrated in my belly). I am starting to eat healthier (lean meat, protein, fiber, more vegetables) & trying to exercise at least 30 minutes a day.

Non scale victories / my wedding rings fit 💍

I'm a 50 year old female, height 5/2, starting weight 161.5, currently 146.4. I started keto in February, lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks. The following 2 weeks weight loss stalled. I know it's because I added stevia and other creative keto alternatives. I'm not new to keto in 2019 I did perfect keto for 1 year and 3 months and got down to 120 pounds, I felt amazing. I'm a carb and sugar addict all it took was one cheat meal to little by little go back to my old ways. So here I am again. This is why I know the stevia and being a little too creative with my keto meals caused me to stall on my weightloss. I'll be able to get keto creative again once I reach my weightloss goal of 120 pounds. Because of the weightloss stall I knew I had to get strict, so starting March I've basically been doing the Carnivore diet, and already in one week lost 5 pounds. So I'm back on track. Oh yes! Another thing I should mention is I've also been Omad since February. I was so excited that my size 6 wedding rings fit perfectly. This is the first time I post on here, I wish I could post a picture but I don't know how 😄 What non scale victory have you experienced?

My (21F) doctor is pushing me towards weight loss surgery, I'm unsure if I should get it.

I have been obese for most of my life and at my highest weight was 365 pounds, in two months I've lost 30 pounds, this isn't huge or anything but I'm pretty proud of myself. I've just stuck to a healthier diet, and regular gym routine which is really fun and I couldn't see myself going back to eat the junk I used to eat at all. My doctor is still recommending for me to pursue weight loss surgery, which I used to want but now I'm unsure because I feel like I may be able to do it naturally. What do you guys think? Should I maybe get weight loss surgery or try it naturally first?

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.
