Just got roasted so hard by my 5 year old sister

Kids can be brutal can’t they. I was babysitting my sister and I put her to bed and laid down with her to make sure she was going to stay in bed. It was hot in there so when my shirt rode up on my stomach I didn’t bother pulling it back down. But then my little asshole of a sister started poking at my belly and asking why it’s so soft. I was trying to be body neutral while talking about it so I don’t impact her negatively. I told her it’s a bit chubby there. But then she poked my arm and said you’re chubby there too. And even my face is chubby. You’re too chubby! When you’re an old lady you’re gonna be so so so chubby!

Like yes I’ve been yo-yoing lately and yes I am fat, but dang I am not an outlier here, we’re all chubby in my family so why me ;-;

My other sister joked as revenge I should make fun of her for being ugly (she’s just got one of those little mischievous faces, not ugly but pretty is not the first thing you think LOL)

Buuuut maybe it’s a sign to get back into it with the weight loss. I always slack in the winter

I reached my GW and now I cannot stop thinking about food

I reached my goal weight about two month back. Ever since, I think about food all the time.

Male 5’10.
Starting weight: 200 pounds Goal and current weight: 160 pounds.

Progress picture: https://imgur.com/a/jzOmoVr

My thinking about food, leads me to eating food. And I think about food all the time, so I eat a lot. Many times I overeat on high value food. But the total calorie intake for sure gets too high anyways. On the weekends I tend to eat junk food as well, the cravings are real! And I eat big quantities so easy. Of all the persons at the table, I am the one always eating the most as the foodie I am 🐷

So I have to compensate by restricting a lot other days. And thats how I maintain. So far I managed to maintain, but long term it does feel like my maintenance easily could fail.

I don’t count calories, because it only makes me think about food even more.

How do I stop thinking about food?

Will I stop thinking about food with time as my body gets used to the new weight?

How was it for you that did a similar weight loss?

A thread for motivation.

As we roll through the end of a holiday weekend and into Monday, when lots of people choose to start weight loss journeys, let’s start a thread just for a little boost of positivity and motivation!

If you could’ve looked yourself in the mirror on day 1 and said anything to motivate yourself/get your booty in gear, what would you say??

(Mine would have been: You can do it. You might not always WANT to. But you ARE capable. You’ve tried so many times. Let’s make this the time you do not quit. Your future self will thank you. Also…. You have to put on a swimsuit soon. And that’s also motivating 😅)

And for everyone about to begin, what are you going to remind yourself of when you wake up in the morning and inevitably do not feel like working out? Let’s hear it!

Today I dropped below 200 !

I (24F) have been on a weight loss journey since late February of this year, starting weight 225 lbs. This morning when I stepped on the scale, the number read 199.6 🥹 It’s not always been easy doing CICO (I don’t exercise much by lack of time but will try this summer as I will be working from home), especially since one of the things that made me reach my SW was binge eating/hyperphagia. People are starting to notice and I feel like I finally am beginning to see my face changing. I’d like to thank the community, reading y’all and seeing you share your struggles helped so much.

Does anybody else get more stomach upset since weight loss?

So this week, I had a bad week of overeating. My coworkers from all across the country came to my city for a regional conference. So from Tuesday - Saturday, I was not eating well. I think it was due to a few factors. Like wanting to cut loose a bit, more eating out/drinking than normal, and just breaking from my routine. Anyway, I had been doing good with averaging about 1300-1500 calories a day. I normally do intermittent fasting (eat between noon-8 p.m.) My stats are 5’5, 170 lbs, 26F. I’m not sure exactly WHAT I ate/drank because there was a bunch of eating out/drinking. I would try to get back on track like doing intermittent fasting in the morning. Some days I started with a yogurt or protein shake. But then through the day/evening, it would get progressively worse. I’m not sure how much calories I overconsumed. From my estimates, it doesn’t seem to have been that much over. I was averaging about 2000 calories a day from food/alcohol. When I started this journey at 190 lbs, my maintenance calories were about 2200. So I don’t consider what I had to be severe binging.

Yet, Friday/Saturday, my stomach felt absolutely horrible. It’s bloated to an extra 5-7 pounds. It was actually hard to sleep. I think it was from alcohol but friday night all I drank was one mixed drink, one shot, one beer. Saturday was the same. I wasn’t even drunk. This is something that I have noticed since my weight loss. That overeating that wasn’t so abnormal before now causes me a lot of stomach upset. When I was heavier, I rarely had stomach/digestive issues. I’ve noticed this with my thin friend as well. Even one meal out can often give her an upset stomach. What is going on? Does this happen to anyone else? How do you reset to have your stomach feeling good again? I tried to reset friday and saturday but then I wound up waiting too long to eat. Then, I was hungry and overate. But, when your stomach is upset in the morning, it doesn’t want anything.

Is a maintenance break for 8 weeks after 12 weeks of weight loss a good idea, and have you tried it?

Is it advisable to take an 8-week maintenance break after 12 weeks of fat loss? I've been researching this, especially from Dr. Mike Israetel's videos, and the recommendation is not to diet continuously for more than 12 weeks. Have you followed this approach during your weight loss journey? Since April, my weight has ranged from 258 to around 260, although my diet has been somewhat inconsistent but mostly healthy. I'm curious about others' experiences with this strategy. While being in a calorie deficit all year is impractical, is an 8-week break too lengthy?

Seems like I can’t lose weight unless I’m working out even in calorie deficit

Me F(33) (5’11) CW 240lbs GW 190

It seems I don’t lose any weight even when I’m in a calorie deficit unless I do some weight training. I had my suspicions for a while so I decided to test my theory.

For a 2 months I followed the same meal plan, getting in plenty of protein, healthy carbs and fats. I counted my calories and averaged about 6000 steps a day.

Month 1 : calories consumed ~1500 no weight training or workout. Result: -2lbs

Month 2: calories consumed ~1800 (because I was hungrier) + workout 3x a week by doing 100 kettle bell swings, 100 jumping jacks, 80 mountain climbers, 40 push ups and 6x 30sec planks (depending on the days it takes me about 30min to 45min) to complete. Result: -11lbs.

Does anyone have the same experience ? Can someone explain the massive difference in weight loss ?
