just a fun type question, got me curious

We have two scales, one in each bathroom. The one I usually use reads about two pounds lower than the other. I'm not looking for extreme accuracy when I weigh myself, just a general ballpark, since I'm not trying to lose any more weight (have lost 152 pounds, just wanting to maintain). Anyway, it got me thinking.

The one showing the lower weight is pretty cool for my mental health, in a way, but the one showing the "higher" weight tempts me to stick to cleaner eating, even though I've been doing great at just maintaining.

Purely for fun/curiosity - if you had two scales and weren't in a serious phase about weight loss, etc., which would you use daily? Just a random question, to see what others would decide. :)

I regained all the weight I lost last year....plus another 20 pounds

I am so fucking angry at myself

From early 2024 on I (34M) was 230 pounds and decided I wanted to try and slim down. I set a goal for myself...lose 40-50 pounds in 12 months. I wanted something ambitious but also plausible, and I figured with an average weight loss of about 3-4 pounds a month that seemed reasonable. And for a while It was working. Around September I got myself to around 210 and was happy with my progress. I had been doing NOOM at the time and was tracking food on a daily basis, still incorperating foods I like with nutrirent dense ones, and wprking out 3X a week. Around this time though I had alot of social events going on, so I told myself I would give myself a one month break, then try and kick back into things.

Then the end of October I lost my job (depression and loss of confidence and self worth). Then the election happened(deeper depression, existential dread, and nihilism). Then holiday season started (cookies and pies)....so alot of eating was going on. Obtried to keep my head above water but because of the holidays I leaned into comfort foods. At the start of 2025 I told myself...ok...you can find a job before things get REALLY bad and you can.

Obviously...that didn't happen. I had continued to workout and my body has gotten stronger...but my brain has not been right. I had not stepped on a scale since October because I was afraid to do so...until today.

Now I am 250 pounds....250 goddamn pounds. Needless to say this sent me in a spiral. I KNOW better...I built all these good habits and all the work I have done has not only been completely negated....I am now in an even worse spot that I was when I was trying to do this last year. None of my clothes fit, I am basically wearing sweatpants everyday which was fine in the winter...but now it's like 80 degrees outside every day and I can't keep getting away with this. I feel like my training has plateaued and I am struggling seeing any improvements in muscle growth.

On top of this...I am still unemployed. This month will mark 7 months of job hunting. If you look at my previous history of posting on reddit....yall can see that process is not going well.

Today is day one of recalibration. I just need to vent. I am angry at myself. Not a single goal I have set for my self I have achieved. My confidence is shot.

When did you start to see the scale move?

For context, I am a 162cm, 177lb female and I am 24 years old.

I’ve been eating consistently in a calorie deficit of at least 300 a day, I walk at least 8k steps a day and have been going to the gym and weight lifting 3 times a week. I have started to feel a little bit of weight loss in random places (my ribcage??) but it’s nothing so massive that it’s even changed my measurements. I feel a bit lost and just really want the motivation to keep going- I have a holiday in July that I reallyyyy want to lose some weight for!! I also feel generally a bit fitter and less tired so at least something is going well!

I was wondering if anyone similar could tell me how long it took until they started to see results and also how long it has taken to lose about 10kg?

Officially reached my weight loss goal!

For some context, I’m a college girly who first started her weight loss journey December 24 2024, weighing in at 278 pounds. For reference I’m 5’3 and all my life I’ve struggled with my weight. Senior year of highschool I was at an all time high of 320 pounds, perhaps even higher.

I finally had enough and gave myself a weight loss goal of 240 for 2025! Today I weighed in at 239.9 pounds! I’m honestly in shock, and I’m so proud of myself for putting my mind to bettering my health. Being almost 40 pounds down has improved my confidence and health tremendously.

I’ve seen my face slim down, I have more energy, I’m able to walk way faster. I’m able to fit into cuter clothes! It’s made such a difference in my confidence being able to walk into American eagle and walk out with some cute shirts! I can wear an XL shirt instead of a 2XL! I’m current wearing a size 18, and they’re really loose, and certain size 16 styles of pants fit me!

My next goal is 230, definitely trying to keep my expectations realistic since now my weight loss is gonna be a bit of a slower process!

Advice for Staying "Regular"??

TLDR on my weight loss journey so far; started late last summer and plateaued at the beginning of this year a few pounds shy of reaching the 30lb mark. Then about a month ago I took a week and a half long trip with my partner and frankly ate like absolute garbage. Gained a bunch of water weight which finally motivated me to reevaluate my macros. I increased my deficit (by a little) lost the water weight and finally broke my plateau! However, ever since the trip my bms have been super inconsistent and I'm sick of feeling so clogged and bloated all the time. Chalked it up to the sudden increase in protein intake, but don't recall my body taking so long to adjust the first time around. I started adding Benefiber to my morning coffee and bedtime tea, but it doesn't seem to make much a difference. Would appreciate any advice on getting myself back on track - is fiber the only option?

Calorie shifts in the app

So of course with the Lose It app, the calorie budget shifts as you lose weight. Do we have to follow this or can we stick to our original calorie goal?

I currently have it set to 1300 calories during the week and 1600 on weekends. The app has adjusted my daily goals to 1274 during the week and 1546 for weekends.

Not a huge shift but I can see that it’s going to keep going as (hopefully) weight loss continues. I’ve dropped to about 1250 during the week anyway but really need my weekend calories.

Can I stick with the original plan or listen to the app?

losing weight really fast that it doesn’t really make sense?

i’ve been eating in a calorie deficit in hopes to lose 5kg by the end of june. but i feel like my weight is rapidly dropping and it isn’t making much sense to me. yes i am for sure eating in a deficit, one of 600-800 a day but nothing CRAZY. is it all water weight? i’ve been really unsure of what to think to be honest. i know water weight could be a culprit but having 4kg worth of it sounds crazy to me when i’ve always been around 79kg when i’ve weighed myself before deciding to lose weight?

this is my weight loss

26.04.25 - 79.50kg

29.04.25 - 81.50

30.04.25 - 78.95

2.05.2025 - 78.25

3.05.25 - 77.90
