I finally stopped putting it off til tomorrow

Last year around July 2023 I had lost almost 50lbs. I broke my foot and then over the course of the year after that I gained everything back.

Stepped on the scale July 25th and it said 290lbs and I cried and committed to continuing my weight loss journey. I’ve since dropped 7.2 lbs just monitoring my CICO and hopping back on the exercise bike for 20 min a couple times per week.

For anyone who has “given up” just remember that all we have is today, this moment, and in this moment we can choose to make healthier choices that will lead to a happier, healthier version of us. There is no tomorrow. Just do it now.

SW 290 lbs | CW 282.2 lbs | GW 160 lbs

Should I be eating more?

So I started off my diet at 1,500, then dropped down to 1,400, and then (now) 1,200. I have noticed my weight loss has declined, but I also weight myself everyday so I could be crazy.

Could it be possible that I’m eating too little now? Do I need to increase my exercise? To give more context, I reg 10-15k steps a day depending on if I walk in the morning, and then I do like 30 minutes of Pilates when I get home, plus some minimal lifting and whatever I do at work (which is a more active job where I’m on my feet, not eating most of the time).

I feel like with my diet of 1,500 I was going down steadily whilst now I’ve been a little stagnant. Now I know that’s going to happen occasionally, but I would assume with lowering my diet that I would lose more and that it wouldn’t be an issue.

Any help is appreciated! I’m always learning and trying to get better, but I start to lose my mind as soon as my scale stays on the same number a little too long. Thanks!

I need advice

Yo Reddit I hardly post here because well, it’s Reddit. I have been rapidly losing weight I’m a 6’3 man I decided it was just time to lose weight after I reached a pretty intense breaking point. I was tired of hating myself and carrying basically another human around. I was 6’3 325 and with the help of my mother (the help it think might be hurting me now) is what helped me get from 325 to now 288 in staggering speed. However I feel as if I’ve pretty much hit a plateau. My diet doesn’t seem to do much no matter how many steps I walk it doesn’t seem to matter I’ve walked 10k steps a day for this past week and I feel like my body is literally clinging onto the weight for dear life. The reason for this I feel is a mixture of my diet and exercise. My mother insists that Low Carb Low sugar is what’s gonna get the weight off and she’s scared of carbs to a I’d say almost ridiculous degree. I remember being in the store wanting some teriyaki sauce to use for my chicken breast and she said "if you eat this it’ll stop your weight loss in its tracks". She also insists that I walk and only walk (be it treadmill or outside which I prefer at this point). And stresses that I do zero strength training or weight lifting. She also advises against rice or any type of carb. I feel stuck and I have no clue want to do. I want this weight off bad.

TLDR; I’ve hit a weight loss plateau and I think my mother is hurting more than helping

Frustrated with only 3lb weight loss after 60+ days of consistency

Hi all! 35 year old female, 5’7”, 159 lbs. I have been very consistently tracking my calories with no slip ups (1500-1600 deficit), basically no alcohol (3 glasses of wine), averaging 12k steps per day, consistent sleep of 7-9 hours, and have recently added weight training. I am seeing subtle changes in my body but the scale has only gone down 3lbs in the last ~62 days. With such a large deficit and daily activity level (especially compared to how sedentary I was previously at about 3k steps a day), I’m wondering why I haven’t seen more fat loss on the scale. I’ve been trying to take progress photos to keep myself motivated, but the changes seem so slight. Any words of wisdom you can provide would be much appreciated! Thank you, love this page! ❤️

3 week plateau, trying to lose those last 8 pounds. Should I up my cals by 200?

5’11 163lbs M trying to hit 155 then start a lean bulk. I’ve been stuck at 163 for 3 weeks eating 1800 calories a day. I lift weights 6x a week and walk 10k steps every day. Should I up my calories to 2000 or even 2200 and try to slowly lose these last 8lbs? I started my weight loss journey in January. I was initially 190lbs and have lost a little under 1lb a week since then. It’s been slower than I expected, but I guess it makes sense because my starting weight wasn’t extremely overweight or anything.

Is it normal not to lose a single gram for months?

Hi guys! I (F31) recently started my weight loss journey. Been going to the gym consistently and am feeling stronger. What is making me frustrated is the fact that I am not going down a single gram on the scale. It’s been 3 months and at least is not going up but damnnn all this effort for nothing? I consulted with a nutritionist to plan me a diet, I will say it’s not 100% perfect but I would think that something on the scale would change. Now I am worried that it could be something more hormonal, what do you guys think?

I Hate HATE Online Weight Loss Advice and it’s Stupid Contradictions

I dont get it dude. It’s driving me crazy.

“Weight training will make you burn fat” “Common Myths: Weight training doesn’t burn fat”

“Cardio is the best for losing weight” “10 reasons why you should skip cardio or keep it at a minimum”

“Keto is the best diet for weight loss” “Eat more carbs before your workout”

“Vegan diets are great for getting in shape” “You need meat in your diet”

“Top 10 ab workouts” “Ab workouts are a waste of time.”

“You need to count your calories” “Calorie intake doesn’t matter. Only carb intake does”

I’m SICK of it. I’m sick of reading fitness articles just to see another fitness article that says the complete opposite. It drove me so insane when I was first trying to get in shape because I had NO IDEA WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. Everything was right and wrong at the same time and when I’d finally get some progress I would have some gym bro say I was doing it all wrong and then I lost my progress.

Screw fitness magazines and nutritionists who claim only one diet is best for all. I’ve stopped reading all that bs and just stopped drinking, started eating clean (complex carbs, leafy greens, lean meat, fruit, probiotic yogurt) and do whatever the hell I want at the gym as long as I go every day, even if it’s for a few minutes.

I’ve noticed a huge change by just ignoring what the “best way” to get in shape is and just doing daily exercise whether I’m doing the “right” exercise or not. I don’t care anymore. All exercise is good exercise and I’ve noticed the biggest change in my mood and body by just thinking that way. I’ll do a sit up or a crunch if I want to even if it’s “not worth your time” and “doesn’t give you results” it’s still better than sitting on my azz and not doing sh*t.
