Wii Fit Plus - Exercise Enough?

Hi everyone and sorry if this post seems really long or boring. But I just wanted to see what someone else had to say. I've been trolled on social media for this so maybe just seeing what others who have been working on weight loss think.

I, (24 female), am only 3' 9" tall and already have managed to get down from 130 lbs to 88.8 lbs (factor weight fluxes of 1 kg/ 2.2 lbs a day) just with a treadmill over the course of 5 months. Now I still use the treadmill but I use it for a little less time (like 15-20 mins a day) because I've been using Wii Fit Plus (building routines in my routine for 40 mins at least and then an enjoyable 20 minutes doing the Aerobic Advanced Step game). Is that exercise enough to be considered able to contribute to weight loss? The reason I ask is I spoke to someone about it and they said that I wasn't really exercising for 45 mins to an hour a day if I was using Wii Fit as my main exercise. But I find that the exercises are hard for me with the exception being the tricep extension and for that? I use a three pound dumbell in the other arm while the arm with the remote is doing the exercise.

Sorry I ranted. So long story short: Do we consider Wii Fit Plus Exercise?

Is 12lbs weight loss in 5 weeks too much?

Hi, So this is my 1st ever deficit after bulking for 16 months, Not 100% accurate but i was falling somewhere between 25-30% BF, Im eating 500 calories below my maintenance, Have been for 5 weeks consistantly, hitting my daily protein intake of 180g but im abit concerned that i could be losing muscle and maybe the tdee calculator isnt accurate because i put myself on sedentary lifestyle however i work from home so sitting most of the day but i walk 2 miles each day and workout intensly for 1hr-1hr 20 mins. Also 12lbs weight loss in 5 weeks seems alot but i dont know how much of that will be water weight.

Partner wants weight loss surgery, I'm apprehensive

Hello reddit,

I'm worried for my partner, I'm not supportive of surgery as well

Reasons being that my partner has a very unhealthy relationship with food, binge eating whenever they have an emotional response to anything, spending our grocery money on those binges instead.

They want to lose weight but not put in the effort, they can't keep up with a diet, they can't keep up with exercise, they don't have any self-discipline sadly.

And my partner also asked if I could help them not snack and such, so our household has stopped snacking, we're eating healthy, I'm portioning their food, but they get mad at me for restricting their access to snacks, and whenever I find them in the kitchen snacking on something and I take it away from them? Pissed off and it's all my fault.

I try and keep them on a exercise schedule (once per week to aquarobics for now) and even that is a battle.

They expect surgery to be a magic thing, where after they've got the surgery everything will be easy, but I feel they're extremely misguided in that viewpoint, you've got to put in the work now already and change the relationship with food, deal psychologically with the food addiction before even thinking about scalpels and life altering surgeries.

They're also depressed and have emotion-regulation problems, they're suicidal as well, highly obsessive, and are susceptible to psychosis as well, they're on lorazepam and risperidone which absolutely do not help with losing weight either.

I've been trying to say they should look into something less invasive like a gastric balloon while they get psychological help first, but they're dead-set on the surgery because "nothing else has ever worked or will ever work"

Their oldest kid isn't supportive either, the father of their youngest isn't either, the parents aren't supportive, and it's all because we know how they are with food, and their unwillingness to put in the actual legwork.

I'm also extremely worried about the complications and side effects, mainly dumping syndrome, the loose skin, and possible complications that require surgery, and the mental effects those complications and side effects will have on someone who's already suicidal and unstable.

AITA?

Losing weight in my late 20s

I was skinny in Highschool and definitely gained a freshman 30 when I went off to college. Living alone didn’t help and I mainly ate fast food in between classes. When I was forced off my birth control I gained another 30 pretty rapidly. Then I honestly let myself become a depressed hermit

I’m 5’7, 27 (f), 225lbs, grad student, working full time and trying to lose weight. I want this to be it -I don’t want to look back 6 months from now and not see results.

Anyone got sustainable weight loss tips/advice that can get me to 140?

Starting with: - 10,000 steps (trying rn I average 5,000 - more water - protein + veggies for all meals - fighting cravings (very difficult) - exercising (started with pole fitness)

In a calorie deficit but so hungry by end of day

Hi everyone, I (27, F) was hoping to get some thoughts on my current fitness plan that was set up for me by a PT. I have a feeling it’s off, but partly because my physically activity has actually been really high in the past month and I think the calories don’t match up

I’m 6 weeks in to this 8 week fitness plan. I started this fitness plan weighing 71kg and now I’m sitting around the 67kg mark so good progress in terms of weight loss

My plan is the following: 3x strength training a week, increasing weight every time and lifting pretty heavy (120kg hip thrust for example). The goal is to lose weight and tone. I don’t want to bulk up.

My calorie deficit is 1514 calories aiming for 44% carbs 23% fat and 33% protein. I’ve changed my diet pretty drastically to get protein in; I truly did not realise how little I was eating before. I’d say the biggest change in my diet is this increased protein, but also decreased fat intake. I’m used to eating avocados and olive oil regularly and with this fitness plan, eating one can take up majority of my fat macros for the day. I am generally very healthy and care a lot for homemade, gut friendly foods, but in order to reach protein goals I have had to incorporate processed foods like protein bars and whatnot to get those numbers up.

On top of strength training, I go to hot yoga / Pilates twice a week, and run (cardio) twice a week. I ran a half marathon on the Sunday just been. I work an office job, and clean a studio 3x a week which is actually quite laborious (cleaning massive mirrors is hard work!). Now my half marathon is out the way, I will calm down on the running a bit, but probably still run a total of 10km a week, and if not run, then definitely incorporate stair master into my routine.

I have found during strength training in particular I feel weaker, and my body is probably just not getting quite the fuel it needs. But is this something I should push through as my ultimate goal is weight loss and toning?

Before this fitness plan, I was eating LOADS I’m almost certain my average calories must have sat at around 2500 a day. I wasn’t exercising much before this, Christmas mode was still on, but I have generally kept up strength training and running across the past few years.

Additionally, I am used to huge portions and this plan has definitely taught me about what serving sizes should be, so I have enjoyed the educational part of it. But I just find when I go to bed I am so hungry, and also desperate for breakfast in the morning. Previously I could wait until 12pm to eat, and never woke up hungry.

I have checked my maintenance / deficit calories online and according to my fitness levels, I can either continue on this 1500 calorie path and see significant weight loss, or up it and … probably still see weight loss? Given I am used to large portions, would anyone recommend using the zig zag calorie method? I believe I was intuitively practicing this before as some days I’d have very little and others an awful lot. Maybe that’s what worked best for me.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this.

TL;DR on a calorie deficit, working out a lot, really hungry and feeling weak. Advice appreciated!

Starting weight lost journey

So I’ve finally decided to commit to starting my weight loss journey. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but I’m ready to stop making excuses and start holding myself accountable. I want to lose weight not just for the physical changes, but also to feel healthier, stronger, and more confident in myself.

Right now, my goal is to lose almost 100 lbs by the end of this year, I’m focusing on changing my eating habits, incorporating more movement into my day, and learning what works for my body. I know it won’t be easy, and there will be days I struggle, but I’m ready to push through.

Also, I feel like having someone to check in with could help a lot with staying motivated and on track. If anyone’s down to be accountability buddies just doing occasional check-ins or sharing progress I’d love that! Sometimes just knowing someone else is out there pushing through too makes it a little easier. (I'm 18 btw, don't mind any older people willing to be my buddy)

If anyone has advice, beginner tips, or even just some motivation, I’d love to hear it. I’m excited and nervous to finally start this journey and track my progress along the way. Wish me luck!

Its possible! Lost 110lbs and counting

Keep pushing ladies and gents! I don’t know where to start. I use to be 400lbs now weight 290 down 110lbs in 2 years. There’s still a ways to go but I’ve never been more happier in my life. I remember standing in front of the mirror 2 years ago looking at myself in disgust, 20lbs off seemed like a task, over 100lbs off was a dream, a dream I’m now living, breaking 300 nearly made this man cry🥹, I’m no longer looking at heart Disease by 30, no longer pre diabetic. I’m not stopping! Next goal in 240 this year. Besides health the weight loss drastically improved my personal life. I found the confidence to get out there and surprised myself with getting a stunning beautiful girlfriend. Got myself a condo. Things that were possible before but I wouldn’t have done without the confidence losing the weight has given me. It starts with small changes until it becomes normal, then little by little you step on that scale and go 🤯 makes you wanna not stop. Sorry for the rant everyone. Just really happy and wanted to show others here it’s possible!! 20/40/60 100lbs! It’s all possible and YOU CAN do it!
