85 pounds down and feeling worse than ever

26M 171cm (5"6) SW:132,5 KG (292lbs) CW: 94,3 KG (207lbs)

basically title. I've recently noticed that despite losing a supposedly noticeable amount of weight, I'm not one bit happier than when I was morbidly obese. In fact it seems I'm not enjoying the things that I used to enjoy the same way or not at all. It's so frustrating that I get compliments and everyone I know seems happier for me despite me feeling this way. Whenever I look in the mirror I see the same person 85 pounds ago despite people telling me I look different.

Anyone else experience similiar feelings of unhappiness after/during weight loss?

Fitness goals besides weight loss?

I originally started my fitness journey to lose weight but I’m starting to develop other goals related to fitness. One major thing I’ve been doing is walking 2-3 miles almost everyday. It’s really been improving my mental health. Since doing that, one of my major goals is to run a 5k this year! I’m hoping to start incorporating running into my routine soon, but every time I walk, it gets easier. I’m signing up for a 5k walk this June for my local JDRF chapter. Does anyone else have any other fitness related goals apart from weight loss?

New gym plan

Hi guys so at the moment I’m on a bit of a weight loss journey and it’s going well so far, down 7kg since January and I’ve done this by 3 day full body a week and 3 days of running. I have noticed though that I do tend to neglect legs a lot. You see with my full body days it’s 5 for upper and 2 for lower, however I do tend to leave off legs a few times just because im tired from my upper body training or I want to save my strength for upper body training and I don’t go all out. So can anyone recommend an upper lower full body split 3 days for me?

Loose skin after weight loss.

Hello !! I am a new here and this is the first time I will be asking questions but I really really really need advices. F21 here met a guy through a dating app he is m26 He is a sweet guy and all but the thing is I am a girl who been overweight and lost tons of weight, I always struggled with weight I used to starve my self all day and the weight just keeps getting up. Then I did a surgery and I lost tons of weight. Now the thing is this guy is very sweet we share things in common pretty much. And we been talking for now for like 9 months. But we still didn’t meet in real life and that is a big issue to me. I feel insecure and I am so scared and worried that I am wasting my time. I am worried when he will meet me and if anything we eventually will get intimate he will see my loose skin and he will not want to be with me anymore. He is a Scandinavian and their culture i feel based a lot on looks. Since they usually sleep together from the first day aka one night stand etc. This issue causing me a lot of sadness and make me feel depressed and I cry all night about it. I am not experienced girl and I have never been intimate with anyone before. I look good with clothes on. But it’s always the problem when I remove my clothes. Like completely without clothes. I don’t know if I should just tell him my story and that I have loose skin. Or I don’t tell him at all. I sent him many pics and videos of me. But I always hide the parts where they are loose. down the stomach. Boobs. We video called and all but he never saw me completely completely without clothes as I always hide those parts. Please help me. My self esteem is very low. And I feel I would not have any good relationship because of this. Plus when I ask him for his preferences he says he loves girls with big bum and boobs and thick thighs etc. But again I have big boobs and ass but they are saggy and I don’t feel he would find them attractive when it’s the moment to get intimate.

Any girl who had my experience please help me with advices. I feel so suffocated and not happy at all. I always try to end our relationship because of this but I never could tell him that reason. And he always tell me to be opened to him and tell him but It’s a very sensitive topic to me and I would rather not face my fears and end the relationship rather than facing them because I am scared to get hurt. He tell me he accept all of me but I feel he is a person who goes more for looks than personality. Idk what to do. I need help. Should I tell him and whatever happens happens ? Or I just not tell him and try to fix this problem. Whether with sport or surgeries ?

Help me please..

What were excuses you told yourself as to why you couldn’t lose the weight?

I have restarted my weight loss journey so many times and I noticed that every time I fail, it’s almost always because I give myself some bullshit excuse. Just a few examples:

• The classic “I can’t do it”

• Gaslighting myself into thinking I’m not actually as big as I think I am (I’m obese)

• I’m too tired

• I’m not seeing results so I might as well stop

• I can start again on Monday so I might as well eat this entire bag of chips in one sitting

• I’m too embarrassed to go to the gym and possibly see someone I know, etc.

I started my journey again one week ago and so far so good, but this time I’m holding myself more accountable so that I don’t give up in a week or a month. Time to suck it up and get my life together! Anyone in the same boat as me, we got this :)

What were some things you told yourself prior to beginning your journey as to why you couldn’t do it? And how did you prove yourself wrong?

Advice on losing weight as a student

Hi, I'm 17M and I live in a student dorm most of the week. I have breakfast, lunch and dinner here. On weekends I go home, where I don't eat the best, but regularly 4-5 meals a day. Until June last year I used to go to the gym, which I don't do now (because I prefer to sleep longer) and I either don't have time in the afternoon due to leisure activities or slight laziness. I've heard that weight loss is mostly all about diet. But here is the problem. Lunch and dinner are technically strictly given to me, but I'm getting the portions that should suit my body. The only place where I get a full choice is breakfast. We can choose from ham, cheese, Hermelin, eggs, sometimes sweet things like donuts, rolls, bread, vegetables, etc. So I would need some kind of healthy eating plan for my breakfast.
I forgot to add that I am 191 cm and 93 kg. Currently my only active hobbies are walking (about 6-7 km/day) and cycling (2 times per week). In the past (specifically a year ago) I managed to lose 25 kg, but unfortunately I can't do it anymore and I would still like to lose at least 10 kg (so around the 83 kg). What minimal and more challenging changes would I need to make to meet this weight?

Any advice and help is welcome :)
(Btw I translated the text so sorry if it translated anything wrong)

At what point were you like “ah, this is actually working”?

I don’t know what my mental block is on this but whenever I have tried to lose weight previously, I get stuck in the initial bit and self-sabotage. I guess whatever I have lost doesn’t quite feel “real” - like the initial water weight loss for example, and then I just cycle back to square one.

Seeing progress on anything is a big motivator for me to keep going, so if people were willing to share when they felt like what they were doing was really working that would be lovely!

Maybe it was hitting a specific number, or being able to do a specific sporty thing, or just…hey this jumper feels looser than normal.
