postpartum losers: what is our starting weight

are you using your walking-in-to-deliver weight as your starting number or are you using a number from later, like for example 6 weeks postpartum? when people say "i gained xx pounds when i was pregnant," it obviously includes the baby and extra fluids....

i know it's not technically weight loss but also it was a lot of work! but also i don't want to misrepresent my progress.

i've lost 20 pounds since getting the clear to exercise but 35 pounds since going in for delivery, curious what other folks are doing!

Weight Loss Day 1 Diary

W= 197.4

I’m a 23 year old female, and 5’8. Posting diary’s here on Reddit to keep me accountable and motivated. Been trying to lose weight but keep falling back, I would lose 10 then fall off and lose motivation. My goal is to eat 1600 a day, and do 3-4x workouts a week… I will hit my goal of 168 by the end of august.

Calorie goal: 1600

Breakfast: 190 Cals

Lunch: 500 Cals Asian style ground Turkey with cabbage over a cup of cooked rice

Dinner: someone’s birthday dinner. I have about 1000 left.. I’m just going to eat what is served but in very small portions. I also made them my homemade cookies, which I plan to not eat while I bake, so I can enjoy one cookie later :)

Going to go on a walk after work with bf. I have gym acess next week so this week will be walks for now.

325 at 6,3 to 280

I started my journey back in September at 325 pounds. I started working out. I found that I wasn’t losing any weight, but I was gaining muscle mass what inclined me to start cutting was after my knee surgery in January I decided that being obese is not as safe as I presumed it to be post surgery I was sitting at roughly 310 pounds. I started working out even though I had to use crutches in the gym and still go on with physical therapy, but I disregarded my calorie intake that was my mistake. I slowly regained and went back up to 330 pounds, then I started eating less about 4000 cal diet while still working out no cardio a few days ago I researched if it would be safe to start a 1500 cal diet. My research said to stop if I felt any dizziness or pain in my stomach but sluggishness is to be expected when I started my diet. I was 315 pounds that was four days ago so far I drink a gallon of water a day and stick to my 1500 cal diet now 304 pounds slowly but surely it’s working. I still go to the gym five days a week, but it is rough because of how tired I feel but now I think my body has adjusted to using my fat as nutrients. I’m slowly working towards 280 pounds lean. and continue to look forward to going to the gym and continuing my weight loss journey.

Diet break & Creatine

Hi, I started a caloric deficit two months ago. So far, it has been going well, I have lost some kg, and it hasn't been really hard to keep on most of the days. However, I've been reading about diet breaks, and how useful they could be, so I have been thinking about starting one in the next few weeks. I would like to know your opinion about it. Do you think it is worth it? Or maybe I'm starting one too soon.

Besides that, I've been wanting to start taking creatin, but I've been thinking about it because I know that your weight normally goes up in the first few weeks of taking it. I know that it's not body fat weight and that it's not really going to look bad, but I have been doubtful because of how much it could confuse my weight loss tracking.

I also thought about starting to take creatine at the same time I start my diet break, so I would like to know about your opinion and experience about this.

I don’t know what to do in the gym (weight loss journey)

Tomorrow I’m going to the gym for the first time in years, I’ve already started a diet and got the food part sorted after many research now my only issue is what the hell to do when i go to the gym, all i know is cardio but I’ve seen many people say it’s not enough and you should do more strength exercises, however I don’t know how to plan out my workout, I don’t know what to start with what exercises to do how long to do them for, what machines to use and when to do cardio after or before? I’m just really lost and would appreciate if someone suggests me a routine for now until i can find what i do like and don’t and eventually make my proper routine, thank you in advance

Gained 10 lbs in 2 weeks after starting to work out, is this normal?

I'm a 30 yo male. I had a one-year break from the gym, but I weighted 80 kgs (176lbs) before I started working out. Now I'm up to 84 kgs (185lbs). I am in a 500-1000 calorie deficit on a daily basis. I haven't taken creatine or any supplement that would contribute to gaining water weight, but I guess water saturation is still a factor in the early stages. But, 10 lbs? I'm eating healthy, cutting calories, and working out 6 days a week. It's been two weeks and I've gained 10 pounds. Ofc I know it's neither fat nor muscle, so it must be water, right? Can muscles really hold that much water (10+lbs)? When I look at myself in the mirror, yeah, I beefed up just a little bit, but overall I cannot see any weight loss progress. Maybe there is, it's hard for me to judge.

Whats the best weight to start focusing on having

I am a teen, i started my weight loss journey about 9 months ago, i used to be obese, now i am 88kg and 175cm which is still considered overweight, i have a diet healthier than most kids my age and i managed to lose weight by mostly doing cardio workouts, i also lift weights a lot and do some hiit and ab workouts. My arm have gotten way more muscular than what they used to be. So i started wondering whats the perfect weight to start focusing more on having a better body rather than losing weight, like at what point do i focus more on muscle mass rather than fat and when do i stop doing this much cardio and focus on muscle gaining exercises like ab workouts and stuff.
