Comments after out / weight loss lol gym progress anyone else deal with this stuff ?

For instance i (m28) am on the bigger side . I let myself go for a while and ended up weighing around 290lbs. I work out of town often and started working out in the hotel gyms and running a mile these past 2 months . Ive lost roughly about 10-15 lbs and its noticable . The guys i work with are all on the bigger side and drink and eat fried foods everyday dont make changes . Recently they make little comments they never used to say while were working like “ hey man becareful walking up those stairs you know us bigger guys struggle hahah “ or “ man it sucks for us big dudes we cant do much like the smaller slimmer guys “ or just some random stuff like that and it just screams envy to me lol all i can do is laugh and keep grinding in silence but at times i just want to call it out for what it is why do people do that ?

15,000 steps today all went down the drain because I ate 4 mcdonalds burgers

I was first kinda disappointed in myself today because I’m a week into my weight loss journey, and today I did 15,519 steps but all of it went down the drain because I decided to each a big bowl of bibimbap, 4 McDonalds burgers and fries, and giant nutella cookies 😋

Ate it spread throughout the day - but just wanted to share with anyone struggling with this, that it’s okay to have setbacks like this. I’m going to try again tomorrow and as long as you don’t give up or let it ruin your day and just KEEP TRYING, that’s perfectly normal! No one’s journey is straight forward. My next meal will be better!

HAVE A GREAT DAYY!

How are people using their walking pads several times a day without feeling sweaty?

Hi! This could seem like a dumb question, but when I searched for this I couldn't really find the discussion I was looking for.

I'm not an excessive sweater, and typically just sweat during exercise/warm weather. I can tolerate a little pit sweat, but not full body sweat bead sweat unless I'm working out lol. I workout in the mornings, then shower and change. I've noticed others using their pads throughout the day in normal clothes whilst working/watching TV, they don't seem to sweat, but I break out into a sweat quickly on the pad, and it's not practical for me to shower and change every time. I'm more posting this just to see what other peoples experiences with sweating and walking pads are, but of course, advice regarding minimising sweating is also welcome (it's not really a smell issue as I drink a lot of water, but my skin feels so wet and sticky and icky after). I WFH 3/4 days a week and would really like to be able to hop on and walk a few times throughout the day.

I sweat less during more strenuous activities (e.g. I sometimes walk 10 minutes uphill to my coffee shop, I walk faster than I do on the walking pad, I wear more clothing, and it's currently hotter outside than it is inside. I barely sweat. I walk at the snail pace of 3.5km/hr (a speed almost unbearably slow), and within 10 minutes, i can feel myself transforming into a sweaty beast in desperate need of bathing. Why? How? I'm confused.

I'm currently 5'5 and 63KG, a fine weight, but my weight naturally sits around 54KG (a healthy weight for my body, this weight had not fluctuated for years and I never had to work to maintain it), within the past few months, I gained 9KG very quickly due to a depressive phase, in which I became very sedentary, and started binge eating. I'm now medicated and in therapy to work on the depression and binge eating, and I'm obviously desperate to feel healthier. I feel sluggish and horrible like this, my body right now is a physical reminder of a very bad period of my life, so I'm working on slowly improving this (I know my body will naturally get back to my healthy weight, so I don't have specific goals, just some weight loss!). I like the walking pad, but due to this sweating issue i'm not using it the way i wanted to, and I'm having to dedicate time to showering after and changing my clothes (the laundry has been piling up), this takes away from the casual use of the pad and it's quickly starting to feel like a chore which i'll struggle to upkeep.

Also, if you have a walking pad, how many times throughout the day do you use it and for how long? What speeds do you tend to use?

Does weight loss make you tired?

Ive spent the last year focusing on building a good excerise routine without worrying about my diet. The last couple months ive focused on eating more protein and veggies without restricting myself at all. Last month i have focused on portion control and avoiding (but not completely cutting out certain foods).

Ive lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks which is great. Ive haven't felt like im starving myself or anything. I dotn go to bed hungry i just dont keep eating when im full. I will eat one cookie instead of five. But i have felt really tired lately. Does weight loss cause fatigue?

Skin is elastic, but how elastic??? What determines how much loose skin you end up with?

I’m fairly young, 27F but I have been 200lbs (give or take 20lbs depending on my stage of life) for forever, like I was a butter ball of a kid so my skin has been stretched for a while, I’ve had stretch marks since I can remember. I’m 5’6 and have been since I was maybe 16.

3 years ago at the age of 24 I got into the gym heavily & consistently, and got down to almost 160lbs and my skin wasn’t actually too loose, but then I got pregnant. After the birth I had probably 30lbs to lose in order to get back to 165, then I broke my pelvis and was couldn’t work out, THEN got pregnant again and now I have another 30lbs to lose.

When I initially got pregnant, I had maybe 15lbs to lose, then after the birth 30lbs to lose, and now another birth another 30lbs! I consider myself about 60-75lbs over what is healthy for my body, and while my main concern is my health and being able to be active w my husband and kids, I’m honestly thinking about what my body will look like when I am able to slim down.

Being 165lbs gave me extreme confidence, I felt good seeing myself in a mirror, I felt at peace shopping for clothes that fit, I was more motivated in the gym because I was seeing tangible results, and I didn’t have to change my diet too much. I was very happy with my work outs, weight loss, and diet and I just want to get back to that

ETA: I’m currently around 220 at 5’6

I think the calories in my low cal ice cream are incorrect

Losing weight and counting calories is nothing new to me. I'm on my second round of weight loss, having started at 77kg November last year and should now have been almost at my goal weight of 65kg in time for summer. I track everything meticulously.

About a month ago, I recently discovered Asda's low cal cookie dough ice cream, only 327 calories per tub! Hallelujah - a treat I can fit into my calorie budget easily! I've had this daily for the past month or so.

Since then, I noticed my scheduled weigh-ins were steadily getting higher and higher than my projected weight. I calculate my daily deficit and so have a rough idea of how much I weigh each day (this helps to take the emotion out of seeing a higher weight due to normal fluctuations like being on my period).

I thought my body was excessively holding onto water, was inflamed etc. My body dysmorphia got worse but I thought let me continue as is, surely I’ll experience the whoosh effect at some point or the other?!

Yesterday I weighed in at 68.5kg. I have compared recent photos to photos I took in February and I definitely look bigger. I look/feel bigger when I see myself in the mirror. Unfortunately it triggered a binge yesterday (6k cal) which I haven’t had in a while because I was so upset and frustrated.

No other factors have changed with regards to my approach to weight loss, and I can’t think of any other reason why. I strongly suspect it’s the ice cream. What hurts even more is that as I was approaching the last few pounds, I was taking it slow and only having a very small daily deficit 150-300cal, and sometimes eating at maintenance, and so this would easily have taken me into a surplus every day for the last few weeks.

I just wanted to vent because I’ve struggled with binging in the past, and was getting it under control / doing so well, only for me to put on the weight unintentionally due to the nutritional information potentially being incorrect. I wanted to binge today but it’s just not worth it.

Am I calculating my calories correctly?

I’m 5’8’’, 194 lbs, 30f. I work an office job and usually after work I do around 30 minutes of walking on a walking pad, and some other type of exercise at home for 20-30 minutes (i.e core, lower body, tricep dips with a chair etc). Currently my deficit is 500, and I’m eating at 1700. Is this too high? What would my exercise level be given the above (I assume light)?

I tried eating 1500 but that didn’t really work for me. I felt too hungry and had no energy to exercise. When I first started my weight loss journey I managed to lose 40 lbs just by calorie deficit, but it seems to be a bit more difficult now so I wanted to check with you if my calories seem too high.

Thank you.
