I gained all the weight back I lost few years ago…

I (19M) few years ago, when I was like 15 I think around 2020, I was about 120-123KG (264-271 lbs) as I had bronchitis at some point and had difficulty breathing and one thing my personal doctor told me was to lose weight. And I was sent to a doctor, I guess a dietitian, but they helped me with my weight loss journey, had couple of blood samples and apparently sugar levels and cholesterol were good, but still, I was also prescribed through the journey some pills that apparently boosted my metabolism, not too sure, but they helped me, certain dosage every 2-3 days, depending on how much I was prescribed, and in about a year or so, around 2021, I managed to drop down to like 103 kg at some point and I was feeling so proud of myself.

Then fast forward to 2022, bad things happened, family problems, and I just at some point lost motivation, I don’t know what exactly happened, but I started gaining weight back slowly, it was obviously my fault too for starting to slowly eat back more and more, I lost motivation and stopped caring about anything, not like it’s an excuse anyways, not looking for excuses.

And now to 2024, I gained all the weight back. And now I’m realising again I need to do something about it, I know I have a problem and I want to feel better about myself and to be healthier. I just don’t know where to start from and what to do. For the record, my physical activity was light exercises at home and going for walks around the block which worked for me well. But still, I just don’t know where to start from. And I’m lost. Even if I try to eat healthy, either nothing happens, or someone from my family brings some unhealthy food, I pick up a little and then some lost weight I regain back or gain more. I just don’t know what to do. But again it’s my fault I got myself back to that point.

Looking for a diet that is successful for weight loss that requires little exercise due to spinal stenosis

Good morning. I’m looking for a diet for my wife who is a 25 year old female and roughly 210 pounds and 5 foot 7 inches. The little exercise is because she has a rare condition called spinal stenosis that causes her to have chronic pain frequently. We go on walks together and sometimes after just 10 minutes of walking she is in awful pain. Her weight has really been hurting her self esteem lately and I’m here to support her but there’s only so much that I can do. If anyone has spinal stenosis on here and has had success with weight loss please let me know what you did so I can continue to help my wife. She would exercise like a maniac if she could but she can’t, I just want her to be happy. Open to all advice. Thank you

Will I have a lot of loose skin?

Hey everyone for the past year and a half I been on a weight loss journey. I’m coming to the end of it at my heaviest I was 278 right now I’m sitting around 184 at 5’7 I want to get to 155. I’ve been in a caloric deficit for the past year until recently for the past 5 months where I’ve been focusing on my protein intake and eating at around maintenance. I can’t tell if I’m going to have a lot of loose skin it scares me a lot. Whenever I lean over I notice that my skin is super saggy but I don’t know if it’s just a mixture of me still holding fat and having loose skin or just loose skin. I just don’t want a lot of loose skin I know im gonna have some which sucks. https://imgur.com/a/BLTHl5K

Mentally, I'm finding maintenance much more difficult than weight loss.

Female 5'2.5 SW 190 CW 137 GW 135. I still have two pounds to go but I've been focusing on maintenance now for a few weeks and will likely just maintain for the rest of the spring/summer. I do a lot of camping/travelling/activities during this time of year and my goal is just to not gain any back. I have been successfully maintaining but it doesn't feel like I'm actually achieving anything and it's messing with my head. I've spent the last year seeing the scale drop every week and now it's staying the same.

I've also switched from weighing myself once a week to weighing every day so as to not have any weight sneak up on me. Weighing myself every day and not seeing a lower number feels like a failure. I know it's not but I'm having a very hard time wrapping my head around it being a success.

I've been having those old thoughts creep back into my head "what's the point of even trying if you're just going to fail".

It's so frustrating and annoying. I'm my own worst enemy.

Desperate for a Change.

I have struggled with my weight for my whole life. I am female 28years old, 5 foot tall and currently weighing 202lbs. At my best, in high school I weighed 130. I know that 130 is unrealistic now since I could only reach that in high school, but I am really looking to do something drastic at this point. I need one thing that is simple that I can eat every day, that will help me lose weight. I am so unhappy in my body, I’ve leaned to live with it, but this is not what I want. I need advice, and diet ideas. My insurance doesn’t cover weight loss medication because I’ve already tried that. And I am already on a handful of other medications that don’t help with my weight loss either. Help?

Managing emotions during weight loss

Hi, I'm 22F, I have been trying to lose weight via calorie deficit(400 deficit) + cardio for the past one and half month. Everything was good in the start and going to the gym made me feel happier and better.

I've been feeling a little behind on my weight loss goals recently and have improved my diet, workout and have started to become more active. However, for the past 2-3 days i find myself crying quite intensely all of a sudden, I'm getting very emotional and usually i don't cry much.

To clarify, I'm not PMSing or haven't been through any major life changes, which is why I'm confused about the crying. Has anyone else experienced this? I have been pushing myself lately but I thought it was a good thing. Honestly, I've lost only 4 pounds until now and have barely built any muscle. I want to do more and lose fat but I'm afraid i might be doing too much idk

Does exercise become a greater factor?

Hey all!

I've been on a weight loss journey since Summer of 2022. Since then, I've dropped 40lbs, from 220 to 180ish. I've been hovering around that since about January 2023 and have not had much success in moving the number. I find the amount I need to lose to be difficult no matter what I eat, how much protein I get, etc.

I'm a short man at 5'7 and my maintenance cals are around 2100 at sedentary. I've been trying to stay around 1800 but I just find it really hard most days. I want to start walking daily & maybe add in some weight lifting, but I don't feel super comfortable at the gym yet (nor do I have many good options in my area).

Would love to hear your opinions, what's worked for you, and what hasn't worked. :)

Thank you all for helping me change my life in ways that I never could've imagined. <3
