6’0 15 y/o male 260 lbs Help?

I’m not sure if this is the right place to get help, but I’m starting to feel pretty lost. I have been gaining weight for the past years now, and have just been told over and over again “just stop eating so much”. Well I tried those things, and to their credit they did help stabilize the weight gain, but I’m lost as to what would push me over the edge to weight loss. I am unhappy with where I am right now, as I enjoy playing volleyball, and I used to swim competitively until I could not longer compete about a year ago due to my weight. I am really feeling lost, and I am willing to try most things. I have access to a gym, bike, and most tools that do not cost too much (100$+). Help?

I’m obsessed with my appearance

Male/ 24/ 5’11/ 275lbs

My diet and weight loss has stopped once again. Struggling to get back into it.

But that’s not what I want to talk about. I’m concerned that when I do (if, I suppose) I won’t be handsome and attractive. I’m obese and therefore so much of my image is tied to that and it kills me.

I’ve had a lot of jokes and negative comparisons on how I look and I’ve always hoped, and obsessed, over the idea that when I lose weight I would be really beautiful. But what if I’m not? The only way to find out is to lose weight obviously, and it will still always be an improvement to what I am now, but I want to be like close enough to model level and get loads of girls and look good in clothing and generally not be so fucking miserable.

All I think is they can make their jokes and I can feel like this now because when I do lose weight I WILL become this person. My height is okay, I’ve got wide shoulders, thick medium-long hair (ginger but I can dye)- I do get many jokes about it tho, but feel it would look amazing if I lose weight as it makes me look more unkempt bc of my weight I guess, and I feel my facial features aren’t awful. I’m obsessed with the idea that I have high cheekbones as I can feel them kind of but maybe I’m wrong.

I guess what I’m saying is I have no understanding of what I actually look like. I look in the mirror sometimes and think I look okay but then other times, especially outside of mirror, I hate myself.

Therapy (and weight loss) is obviously the answer however if I did lose weight and I wasn’t this I think it would really hurt me. I don’t want to make peace with being unattractive or mediocre. I don’t want to have been fat all this time and missed out on so much just to lose all of the weight to be just normal. And yes normal is okay, but I just can’t have it.

I want people who know me to completely see me in a different light and admit that I’m now attractive, I want to be and feel different, I want to look amazing in styles, and take care of myself and have a reason to do so. I don’t want to be considered reaching for punching if I dated someone hot, I’d want us to be equals and solid partners, I’d want to be a chill popular friendly guy.

The comparisons I’ve gotten have killed me. It hurts.

So yeah I’m obsessed with my image. It’s pretty messed up I guess, but I don’t even care, I just want to be attractive.

Every night I tell myself I want to stop binging and start losing weight and every day I give in to the compulsion of overeating. How to stop the cycle?

I've been on weight loss journeys before and thoroughly enjoyed it. But now I have been eating whatever I want, whenever I want, for about two months at least. I feel stuck. I'm sick of feeling like crap and being insecure in my body. Yet somehow I can't seem to take the first step. I've done it before but for some reason it is so difficult right now.

I honestly think I need to give up sweets and chips for a lifetime because I can never keep a balance. I start out good and then I keep adding more sweets to my diet until I need a bigger fix to get through the day. I don't enjoy it but I feel like I need it. Does anyone understand and can help me?

Loose skin

Is there ways without surgery to tighten the loose skin ? Non invasion options ? I know muscle can hide it , but the areas that are the worse aren't managle by muses ,

Inner thighs & lower stomach .

I genuinely cannot keep up with the weight loss journey because of it , I am not happy being big but I am not happy being small and loose. I just want to find alternatives to tighten it or lessen the appearance

I am 4"11 sitting at 147lbs lost about 13 lbs aiming to loose 30 more .

I am female.

Also if anyone knows how to help or limited the skin pigmentations , I swear since I got bigger my entire skin has shifted in ways I didn't think was possible , I gained 25 lbs after listing 10-15

Genuinely need advice . It's really affecting me and my eating disorder /body dismorphia

Struggling to lose weight

My weights been everywhere for the past 5 years.

I got pregnant at 120 lbs, had a baby at 170 lbs, got down to 135 lbs at 8 months after, got pregnant again, got up to 180 lbs from second pregnancy, got back down to 135 last year, went through a breakup with my next relationship after baby daddy 8 months Ago and put on 15 lbs. I currently weigh 148 lbs and would like to get back to around 120. My breakup caused so much depression and stress and etc. and it’s been so hard I have never weighed this much except when I was heavily pregnant. I’m really looking to get serious about weight loss becaus it and been effecting my self esteem, clothes from even last summer don’t fit, I feel like nobody looks at me and I’m embarrassed of taking pics, I don’t feel attractive at all. So I’m hoping posting on here will help me lost weight as I don’t have many people to talk to in general. I am 5’4.

I’m a single parent and I have a full time job and my 2 kids are 5 and under. I don’t have time to go to the gym unless a hire a sitter after work plus paying for membership is expensive . I try working out at home, my kids literally jump on me when I pull out a yoga mat & incessantly nag me they want xyz or complain and it’s so stressful to workout when I don’t even want to.

I don’t know waht to do. My weight is making me so depressed but I find it so hard to lose weight, restrict calories and exercise

Frustrated with weight loss with a badly sprained ankle

I am feeling absolutely stuck at the moment and would love some suggestions. I'm F 5’5 240 lbs. I have always been a little on the bigger side and played sport (rugby) for 9 years, but the last couple years really got out of control weight-wise. I felt motivated to get back on track and started taking alli & trying to eat more cleanly. I've been tracking with MyFitness Pal with a goal of 1300 calories a day. Usually I am able to meet that goal. I had been walking more, doing Solidcore classes once a week, playing weekly kickball, going to the gym! I hadn't seen much of a weight drop, but I was feeling happier.

However, a couple weeks ago I had a tumble on a hike and badly injured my ankle. Consequently, I'm on crutches for another 3 weeks and I feel very isolated and frustrated. It also makes food and alcohol more tempting as my lifestyle changed very quickly and I honestly do just feel sad and lonely in a way that is hard to explain to friends.

Any suggestions on how to kick the weight loss back into gear and maybe feel a little happier?

Thanks so much

to maintain or not to maintain

howdy y’all! since last february I have lost 30 pounds (166 to 136). I feel much better, mentally and physically. I've maintained my weight loss for a few months and I have decided to continue my weight loss after being stable for so long. but I’m struggling to figure out when I’m supposed to stop losing weight. how have yall decided when to stop losing weight? aesthetics? advice from health professionals? body cues? something else? I'm feeling a bit lost. how are we supposed to know what weight "suits" our needs?
