Need some help

Hi I’m a 21F 177cm and 83 kgs

I have started my weight loss journey in 2022, and I was thriving, my original weight was around 90 kgs and I reached 75 this has been my lowest recorded weight. Ever since I returned back to my old eating habits and started gaining weight. Every time I decide to start dieting again I keep adding on more weight, my goal is about 68 kgs and I don’t know how to start correctly and gain willpower, as it has fallen down too much One thing that I struggle with is social events that involve eating I somehow just lose myself in these and end up ruining a weeks’ effort

Dieting is so much harder when super stressed!

vent post, I guess

The overall win is that I'm managing to not regain, but I'm completely stalling my weight loss because I've got so much going on right now and it's oh so easy to overeat on a 1750cal diet (hate being a short girl when it comes to food!)

Like last night, I've been craving salty chips so I bought a big bag to share with my partner (over multiple days in theory)... and instead I ate half the bag and blew out my allowance by 400 calories, aka my whole deficit probably plus some

Which isn't so bad one day, but every few days going over adds up, and it's basically impossible to maintain a weekly deficit of any kind (especially when my little daily treat is all that keeps me going but that turning into a big treat has been my problem 🫠)

Worst part is, my ADHD dictates that if I stop seeing results for too long, it'll be super hard to keep trying and if I give up, who knows if I can restart and I have finally been getting myself healthy this year.

I'm just a mess and I'm getting tired... maybe I'll do better today now I've shared the struggle 😅

Accomplished one of my silly goals.

Almost a year ago I posted this thread Weird Ways to Track Weight where I and others shared our strange ways of making the weight loss tracking more interesting.

Here's one of the ones I mentioned:

I have little kids so eventually I'll be able to stand on the scale with one of them and weigh less than I used to by myself.

My highest weight was just over 200. At his last doctor appointment my son was 42.9 pounds. Today I weighed in at 157.0. Together we're only 199.9!

I still have awhile to go to my major goals but it was fun achieving this one.

Almost 20lbs down and I see no changes..

I am a 24 year old female and here's my weight information: Starting Weight: 250 Current Weight: 231 Goal Weight: 150

I have a long way to go in my weight loss journey... but now that I'm starting to see the number on the scale go down I was hoping I'd notice some changes in my body. I feel just as big. Does anyone else relate to this? 20lbs just seems like a lot of weight I just wish I noticed it. Anyone have advice on this? When did people start to notice your weight loss?

I'm definitely not discouraged! I still plan on continuing my diet to reach my goal weight. It's just irritating that I still look the same. Lol

Some context: I started my weight loss journey this April. My calorie deficit is 1,300 and I try my best to hit 10,000 steps a day. I've really only been following the CICO type diet.

Any advice on how to safely achieve a calorie deficit if morbidly obese?

I posted last year about struggling with weight loss and I'm still struggling. I managed a calorie deficit for a short while and then couldn't maintain it and ended up undoing any good that had been done.

I am now 147kg/324lbs. 5'7.5". Female. 34.

I used this TEDD calculator and this body fat calculator which tells me that my maintenance calories are 1,775 a day. So, if I wanted a 500 calorie deficit to lose weight I am looking at around 1,200 calories a day. That is honestly terrifying. When I tried keeping a calorie deficit previously I was trying for 1,500 calories a day. That is what I am aiming for at the moment with an emphasis on upping my protein and I'm hungry all the time.

I'm wondering if I did the calculations wrong. Does it make sense to have a 1,775 maintenance calorie limit when my weight is that high? Before I put in my body fat percentage to the calculator it thought my maintenance limit was 3,027 which is more along the lines of what I was expecting. (If I'm right that maintenance is what your body is used to eating to keep you weight where it is?).

Anyone who is severely overweight, have you managed to restrict calories to 1,200 successfully? I want to do this in a way that is sustainable and I currently can't envisage how I would stick to 1,200 calories a day long-term (or even at all really).

Can’t stop gorging on protein nut butter…

Any advice for binging at the end of the day? For my height my BMI is literally one pound away from being considered overweight, and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong that I’m not losing anything.

I exercise for 1-2 hours everyday Breakfast is always a protein bar or protein shake with unsweetened almond milk

Lunch is always salad, usually a caesar salad and a sugar free Chobani or Icelandic Provisions extra creamy skyr yogurt

Dinner is salmon with a cup of blueberries and a bag of Wegmans cauliflower rice or steak with cauli rice

Then I get this unbearable craving for something sweet and I eat like 4-5 servings of Nuts n More dark chocolate almond spread. I get hunger pains as if I didn’t just eat dinner unless if gorge myself on this stuff. I drink plenty of fluid throughout the day and track my calories and macros with MyFitnessPal. I feel like I eat a pretty balanced and healthy diet, I don’t drink alcohol or smoke either. I’ve had bloodwork and tests done and nothing is wrong medically. Does anyone possibly have an idea or suggestion of what I could be doing different? I feel like my weight loss stall is because I keep overeating this stupid nut butter but I have zero self control once I open it and can’t get myself to stop eating!

getting down about the future of my weight loss

i’m 4’11, 245 pounds was my starting weight and it’s pretty much all in my belly, some in my arms and thighs but basically all belly. i have a apron belly and my main inspiration for losing weight is the hopes of being confident enough to get into a relationship. but i cannot help but think about the amount of extra skin i will probably have and i do not want any surgery i’m very very afraid of surgerys/doctors. i’m just getting down that even after all my work ill still hate how i look and still wont be able to get into a relationship or feel confident

i know this is probably a bad mindset to have but its just the truth and all i think about daily and it seriously is demotivating me

(also i appreciate when people say things like “someone who truly cares and loves you won’t care about the extra skin” but it doesn’t make me any more hopeful i feel like i will be unattractive with it so😭)
