After weight loss

There’s really no point of this post it’s more like something that’s been on my mind that no one in my life can relate to.

About me - Female, 22 H: 173cm (5’9) ST: 93kgs CW: 68kgs

So my entire life my parents have been weird about my weight. Like they’d look at how much food I’d take, they’d judge what I ate. Even now.

Since I could even remember, my dad would make little comments about my weight, calling me heavy, comparing me to my siblings, he’d ask me to step on the scale in front of him when I was like 11.

When I was 11 he offered me some chocolate (like one of those huge blocks of chocolate) and I took a row (4 pieces) and I started laughing like “sorry I’m taking the row it just broke off” then he got really mad and started yelling and calling me fat. It really stuck with me but I never reacted.

Ever since then I pretty much had an eating disorder. I would binge eat for days and then I would starve myself for days. And that went on for years.

I feel like I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in my life right now because I improved my relationship with food and I have a bit of muscle. But losing weight gave me severe depression and social anxiety and I think I have body dysmorphia. I still haven’t processed that I’ve lost the weight and I still see myself as fat. But my sister jokes and says I look anorexic sometimes. After losing the weight my dad said “are you okay? You look skinny. Don’t lose too much weight you can’t be underweight and you can’t be overweight” pretty much implying that I look underweight and unhealthy now. And mind you I’m at a healthy weight.

You just can’t win. People will always have something to say so just focus on yourself and improve yourself. I know my dad was probably just trying to make me understand that it’s unhealthy to be overweight but he never really helped me. Honestly he would just judge me and mock me. I wish that as a kid my parents would try and help me instead of pass a comment.

Idk what the point of this post was but I thought I’d share since nobody in my personal life can relate and you all probably know what it’s like to be fat shamed by your own people. Feel free to share your stories.

Starting my weight loss journey!🎀

Hi everyone! I (18 F) am just starting my weight loss journey, and I think this is the best I’ve ever done so far! It’s been three weeks, and I’ve managed to stick to a calorie deficit and go to the gym for an hour every day.

I’ve always been very overweight, starting out at 276 lbs at 6 ft tall. I’m now down to 270 lbs, and I’m so excited about this progress! <3

This is the most consistent I’ve ever been, and I’m feeling really motivated to keep going! My first goal is 200 lbs, then we go from there!

Stupid question, can I count calories during the week but just not think about it during the weekend? Will I still see progress?

I’m on a pretty big weight loss journey, basically because my doctors said I will die if I don’t lose weight lol. For the past few months I’ve been counting calories on the weekdays because it’s easier to watch what I eat at work, work pays for dinner so I grab salads and on the mornings I’ll have something small, but on the weekends I just wanna relax and eat ice cream cream that’s actually good, and not these sad diet ice creams bars. Will this still help me lose weight or will the weekends ruin it?

At what point in your weight loss journey do you buy new clothes?

Hi everyone! For context, I'm a 5'2 female. I went from 180 lbs to my current weight, 145 lbs. All of my clothes is loose on me, I don't mind some of it, but I do want some clothes that fit. However, I'm planning to lose another 20-30 lbs.

I bought some new clothes recently for work, but I understand they might be loose when I'm done with my weight loss, and I will have to buy more clothes again.

Do you buy new clothes when you're not at your end goal yet, but all of your old clothes is loose?

Going from obese to skinny-fit back to obese again.

I’m 29, 5’2F and 165lbs. My doctor let me know that I’m obese.

A year and a half ago I was 105-110lbs. I was skinny my entire life until after HS. I went from being 100lbs to 170lbs from ages 20 to 26. I knew I had undiagnosed B.E.D.

By the time I was 26 I started taking a**rall and it helped so much with my BED along with me being on my feet all day at work, I lost 40lbs in 4 months.

I felt so confident and I became a better version of myself. Fast forward a year and I had troubles at work with being s*xually harassed and unfairly terminated- I stopped having an income to pay for my meds. I gained back all the weight so quickly.. probably in a few months.. it happened in the blink of an eye..

I went from being confident to being a NEET (not in employment or training) and being shut in.

It’s hard to find a job because I only graduated from HS, my old job paid really well but I can’t work in that field now that I don’t have anyone to put on my resume. I can’t pay for my a**erall medication. It just really sucks.

I try to eat healthy and walk 10k steps a day but I end up eating all the calories I burn off and then some. I just feel so stuck and I’m not sure what to do.

I’m pushing myself so that I can lose weight by watching my calorie intake and be a better version of myself. I just wish I could lose it all again and feel like myself. Noticing how people treat me when I’m skinny vs obese hurts so bad. I really want to help myself. My doctor put me on BED meds 8 months ago and I’ve gained weight instead of losing but now has prescribed me something else that will help kickstart my weight loss.

I just want to feel like myself again and I’m trying to have hope again that I will have a miracle happen like how I did before and lose 40lbs quickly. 😞

Finally at my goal weight - how to maintain but also maintain my fitness/exercise?

Hi all,

I've reached my weight loss goal and am wondering how I should start maintaining my weight as I really don't want to lose anymore. For me the weight loss was an additional bonus for the health kick I started at the beginning of the year.

I currently do a 2 min plank, a yoga routine, 25x4 of sit ups, crunches, reverse crunches and squats and 45 mins of cardio (approx 300 calories) daily.

I eat around 1700-1800 calories on my normal days and around 2100-2300 on my cheat day (I usually do approx 4 miles walking on top of my routine).

Do I reduce my cardio down to 200-250 calories a day, only do it a few times a week?

Appreciate the advice!

Apple Shape Help

I’ve been frequenting this sub for months now while I’ve been on my weight loss journey but this is my first time posting. I am 5’4, 21 years old, female, and now only slightly overweight (🎉) but I still have the same apple shape I have had since my highest weight. I’ve seen some people say that eliminating carbs is really helpful for people with apple shaped bodies but others have said a calorie deficit is all that matters. Does anyone have experience or advice in this? I am hoping once I get to my goal weight the apple shape will be gone but I’m worried it’ll still be there if I don’t cut out carbs (which I have not been doing thus far). I also have focused mainly on diet and my exercise is pretty much just walking my dog & a Pilates class maybe once or twice a week.
