Weight loss

I am a 18 m college student, I have been obese my entire life, however after I moved to college I for the most part stopped eating.

I usually only eat once a day, around 11 on weekdays and about 8 on weekends, I’ll sometimes need to remind myself to get dinner because I’m usually not hungry.

October 8th I was 219.6 pounds, and now I’m 211, I had decided to cut out all the snacking I used to due and switched from diet soda to water, I still drink soda but nowhere near as much as I used to.

I’m concerned because everywhere I’ve read losing 8.6 pounds in 10 days is unhealthy, what should I do to slow down my weight loss, I know the obvious answer but tracking everything you eat is extremely difficult.

I’m a college student so it’s hard to get the exact amount of calories I’m eating correct from the dining halls, and when I do track it I get an extremely low number of like 700.

Any advice would be appreciated, and no I don’t believe I have an ED.

Please give me your healthy but delicious recipes because all I keep finding are healthy but unflavorful recipes on Google

I just can't with these weight loss recipes. There is no flavor added, no spices other than salt and pepper, no cooking techniques to keep the meat tender, and absolutely no sauces.

I feel like these type of recipes are the reason why no one wants to lose weight. Looking at them makes me want to eat McDonalds instead of that.

The most common example I see is broiled chicken breasts, brown rice/quinoa, and broccoli, seasoned with salt and pepper.

As someone who really likes to eat really good food, I won't even entertain the thought of me eating that. Call me picky, I have standards and McDonalds is more appealing than that.

So, question for y'all. Does anyone have some good recipes that are 1.) healthy and 2.) will make me cry from how good it tastes? The internet gives me nothing.

In exchange, I will share my Beef Stroganoff in the comments. For 250 grams of it, you get about 300 calories. 250 grams will take most of the bowl. Your mileage will vary based on the type of ingredients you add. It is very filling and can be adjusted to have more protein and less noodles.

Weight loss and exercise

32 female, SW: 225 CW:220 GW:165

Calories: 1800/day

So, I am relatively new to structured exercise. I have at various times in my life had a very active lifestyle (farming, horses, retail worker getting a million steps in carrying heavy shit) but this is my first time really going to a gym to workout.

I’ve lost significant amounts of weight 2 times in my life. The first time was when I was 25, I went from 210 to 180 doing keto and counting calories, but not really exercising. The second time I went from 180 to 160 not counting calories but getting about 15,000 steps a day and unloading hay bales (100lbs) and feed sacks (50lbs) while taking those steps.

My weight loss during both of these times was very steady. I lost between 1-3lbs a week on average and it was very linear.

Now I am trying to lose weight through CICO and I am exercising. About 30 minutes of cardio tracking my heart rate and 20 minutes of weight training daily with a day off every so often. Between daily activity steps and my workouts I’m getting between 8,000-12,000 steps a day.

I feel better, stronger/healthier, but so far I haven’t seen my scale or tape (I take measurements too) move more than a few lbs. It’s sort of fluctuating up and down, and I’m hoping maybe I’m building muscle while losing fat so maybe my weight and proportions are staying the same ish? Is it wishful thinking to hope that soon my (theoretically) increased muscle mass will start using more calories and I’ll start seeing a difference in the scale and tape? Do I need to change something?

I'm seeing wrinkles! What do I do?

I've lost 26 pounds now, have 40 to go, and am 52. I started at 201 pounds and am now at 175 pounds, and I'm happy about that progress (5'5" woman). I noticed yesterday that my face had significantly thinned, but I looked tired. I looked closer in the mirror and saw them!

I'm happy about my thinner face but now, I noticed a bunch of fine lines that I didn't have before and seem to have suddenly appeared. I think maybe when my face was fuller the fat kept me from seeing them. This is something I wasn't expecting and am not exactly thrilled about. I don't have loose skin anywhere else so far, but maybe I will on my face? Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestion for reducing their appearance? This is one side effect of weight loss I wasn't expecting. I'm hoping they'll just disappear, but I know that's unlikely.

How to Deal With Weight Loss Plateau?

Hi all

Started my weight loss journey in July at 85kg (187lbs) , and I am currently down to 71kg - 72kg (156lbs - 158lbs). Current goal is 65kg (143lbs).

I have been eating at a calorie deficit of 1154, and am attending gym 3 times a week (trying to push to 4). I also have a cheat day here and there.

The progress I have made has come to a stand still, I was dropping a kg week and now I'm stuck between 71kg - 72kg. It's been like this for about 2/3 weeks.

I will say the number on the scale is what I am hyper focused on, and I honestly freak out when I see the number going up.

What's the best advise for beating a plateau? It has put me in such a downer and I begin to doubt myself with my weight loss journey.

Thank you 🫶

My body image is not keeping up with the weight loss

F26 5’2” SW:188lbs CW:170lbs GW:~150lbs

I’ve lost about 20lbs so far. I have very soft features, my face is very round, and even when I was “in my prime” and a very competitive athlete, I was never stick thin, I’ve always had shape to me.

I can not see the changes that the people around me are seeing. I’ve had a few people ask if I’ve been trying to lose weight, saying how good I’m looking. My partner constantly praises me and tells me I’m looking so much better, and while there are some days where I see some small changes, overall I don’t feel I look noticeably different. My partner saw me analyzing myself in the mirror and said “how do you feel?” And I said “I feel like nothing has changed.” He was so shocked and responded that he was about to say how well I was doing and how all my hard work is paying off. I was dumbfounded. I feel just as fat as before.

How do I get over this? I’m feeling very discouraged. And I’m not quite halfway to my goal. After typing all this I think this is possibly more of a body dysmorphia issue, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
