Im gonna start my weight loss journey from Today. (Drop some advice and Wishes)

Hey guys, finally decided to go for all. I will transform my physical body and hope it will help me to transfer my mental ones.

I used to do gym a lot and gained a lot of muscle in past, but it’s two years. I haven’t gone to the gym and had a proper workout routine. I have gained over 25 KG. I am afraid that I will feel insecure in the gym. I will not enjoy this process because I am not enjoying myself. I know it will take lot of time and I have to be patient, which I am not .

I rely on my muscle memory alot since i used to lift some good weight in past and my will power only.

I want some good advice to make this process easy. Some good Diet, Strength hacks.

Ps - I am vegetarian, 25 years old Male.

I was losing weight fast up until I started exercising everyday

For the past 10 days I've been exercising every morning with 1 hour on my exercise bike and every other day doing weightlifting with my dumbbells this has given me a lot of benefits such as better mental clarity and just generally feeling better throughout the day. However this has also made me much hungrier and given me a larger appetite and I still eat within a calorie deficit but it's not as big as I was capable of for the first few months of weight loss. On the scale it's very discouraging as it's barely moving despite me feeling better and is starting to discourage me.

Should I quit exercising up until I reach my goal weight and then start exercising again or should I keep up with this and just accept the sad slower rate of weight loss.

Measurable and non-measurable weight loss

I am a personal trainer / fitness coach and work with many clients on weight loss. I am very goal focused so work with them on measures such as weight loss, body fat%, visceral vs subcutaneous fat, etc.

I've got a very mathematical/ logical side. But one of my clients brought me back to earth. He's lost 10kg in last 3 months and reduced proportion of body fat. I demonstrate this week in week out which he's happy with. The other day he came into our session all smiles and it was because he'd said his wife had commented on how good he looked. That meant more than any of the stats I feed him week in week out.

It reminds me sometimes when people look to lose weight, they often ask me a target in number terms but it's not about the unmeasurable like my client.

Just wanted to say good luck to all those on here on their journey for weight loss. Best wishes

Lost 37 lbs in 4 months.

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting to this sub but not my first weight loss journey.

Back in 2021 during the pandemic I was sitting at +250 lbs as a 5’5 male. Over the course of 1 year I was able to cut my weight down to 155 lbs. But life got the best of me and I steadily gained the weight back. As of NOV 2024 I was back up to 234 lbs, to look at myself and watch all the progress I made was devastating. This was when I decided to make a change and start my second journey to 155 lbs.

At first the idea of have to lose this weight again was weighing heavily on me and the first couple weeks I fell into the same mental games of not seeing instant results. But doing this before I knew to trust the process and the weight would take care of itself. Now after only 4 months I’m happy to report that I’m down from 234 lbs to 197 lbs, a 37 lbs weight loss. This is about my half way point to my final goal of 155 lbs, 42 lbs left in my journey.

In many ways this second journey has been easier and harder than the first time I lost weight. I came in with the knowledge on how to lose weight and how my body would react to diet and exercise. While also fighting the mental games my mind was playing on me when it came to my body image and doubts of being able to lose the weight again.

Adderall & Topamax???

Hi all! I have been on 20 mg adderall XR for my ADD for about 3 years now and love it, no notes! But i have been prescribed 25 mg of Topamax for binge eating and weight loss. I haven’t started it yet because Im concerned about the potential side effect of brain fog. Has anyone whose on both of these think the adderall counteracts the potential brain fog?

I am aware of the other possible side effects but I am not as worried about those as I am the brain fog. The cognitive impairments are a huge concern already, but also being a college student i can’t afford to have these side effects. I was also told to take the topamax in the morning but have read that taking it at night can help curve these effects? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Trouble losing weight

Hello, I'm a 5'5" female and I weigh about 70 kg (154 lbs). For context, I previously lost over 55 lbs, and now I'm really struggling to lose weight. I want to lose 15-20 kg (33-44 lbs). It feels like I'm in a weight loss plateau. I've tried everything: exercising, water fasting, very low-calorie intake, counting my calories, and more, but it feels like I just can't lose weight anymore.Its really frustrating and its really starting to affect me mentally.I just really need some advice from someone.Thanks for anyone replying also sorry for any grammer mistakes etc… english is not my first language.

Lost significant weight, can’t see myself differently

Hi there. I am 6ft tall female, turning 20 tomorrow. I was 188lbs January 1. Weighed myself today for the first time since then, and I was 169lbs . I will also say that I am very very muscular & do around 10-14hrs of cardio a week (triathalon).

I physically see NO difference at all. I had absolutely no idea I lost almost 20lbs, though I definitely was trying to eat more consciously and choose ‘smarter’ alternatives to food I regularly eat. My boyfriend (who also just saw me today for the first time since January) keeps telling me I look different, but I genuinely can’t see anything that has changed.

Is it like ‘bad’ to not be able to recognize weight loss? Should I be concerned about being dysmorphic? Have any of you guys experienced this? Thanks!
