First weight loss milestone: achieved!

Hi y’all! Just wanted to share my happy dance! As of this morning, I weigh less than 200 lbs for the first time in 10+ years!

Since mid-May I’ve been exercising 4-5 days a week, filling up on less calorie dense foods, tracking calories and macros with Noom, and taking Metformin (also through Noom).

It has absolutely felt like a lot of work, but I also feel better than I have in a long time which is highly motivating (along with the scale moving and my clothes getting loose of course).

I still have a long way to go to reach my long term goals but it feels doable for the first time. And I keep reminding myself that I didn’t gain the weight overnight so it’s totally normal and okay that it takes awhile to lose it.

Is it safe?

I’m 13, 5,3 and I’m 58kg. 7 weeks ago I was 64kg. I know it’s fast but I just don’t know if it’s safe to lose 6kg in 7 weeks. I’m gonna be trying to lose more weight when I get of school for 6 weeks but I wanna pace it so I don’t just end up putting it back on if you know what I mean? Is 6kg a safe amount to lose in 6 weeks.

Also, the reason I’m saying this is because the weight loss from before is about 14 pounds I think. I just wanna be safe and healthy. I’m not rushing anything and no I’m not an utter freak about food. I don’t calorie count or anything like that. Just eating more healthy ( hearing the stories of people getting ED’s and stunted growth definitely scared me) so I just want to be safe.

Mods, I know you’re not allowed to let people give advice to minors but I’m only asking the yes or no question.

Cheers

Edit : Also to people saying I’m at a normal weight, I checked the NHS bmi scale for teens. I am NOT at a healthy weight.

Also I cannot speak to a trusted adult or a doctor!

Also I’ve been… heavy all my life. 60kg at 10 is not healthy

Advice on food boredom?

If I eat one more chicken breast or hard boiled egg I will throw up 🤢

I tend to hyperfixate on meals and solely eat that meal for a couple weeks straight. Which has worked great for me! I’ve lost 7 lbs in 40 days. (Around 1.2 lbs a week) doing a 500 calorie deficit (1.2k cals - 1.5k cals averaging)

The typical WIEIAD would be 2 eggs, 400g chicken breast, 1 apple, 1 banana, 125-300g quinoa mixed with brown rice. I ate that almost everyday until I became sick of it.

So far the foods (off the top of my head) I have gotten sick of are:

• chicken breast
• rice
• broccoli
• potatoes
• tomatoes
• whole meal bread

Basically just every healthy food 😭😭

Once I got sick of chicken breast I moved onto potatoes because I learned they rank no.1 for satiety so I ate them for a week then got sick of them. Then I used boiled eggs for my protein source and got sick of them too.

But for me it’s not even to the point that I enjoy the food. I understand not all food has to taste good - however for me, I can’t stomach those foods anymore. Physically I cannot eat them

For me it’s not just about weight loss I’m also focusing on nutrition ensuring I get good protein so my muscle mass doesn’t decrease and also fibre so I don’t end up getting bowel cancer by age 40.

Is this just a me problem? Any advice would be really greatly appreciated

I know this is such a silly post but I genuinely don’t know what’s wrong with me and why I suddenly have the ick for every food

Maintenance tips please for a chronic yo-yo dieter?

Hi Lose it Friends,

This chart shows my weight ups and downs since Nov of 2018 until now, July of 2025

https://imgur.com/a/1yzdHDj

As you can see I yo-yo quite a bit with my weight and this doesn't even show all of it.

In high school I was about 165lb, then in my late teens I ballooned up to 260 lb. Over about 10 years I lost down to 147 lb by my late 20's, early 30's.

Then I ballooned up again to 286 in 2016, then down again to 190 with a severe diet. Then up again to 255, then slowly down to 210 lb with a lot of hiking. Then up again to 280.

I have a point here, although it might not seems like it.

I am now 220 lb, which might seem heavy to some people but it's actually pretty good for me. I want to lose a little more weight and then MAINTAIN!!!

I think if I really want to keep the weight off permanently I will have to continue tracking on myfitnesspal and also using the lose it subreddit. Lose it has been very helpful for me, especially Mountain Lioness's daily posts for usa accountability.

My question is, does anybody who has successfully maintained a big weight loss have any tips for how to maintain it? I want to lose a little more but I'm getting close to a weight I would want to maintain.

I have a bad habit of gaining and losing and this time I really want to find a set point and stay there. For one thing, it's really really annoying to have clothes in a bunch of different sizes and have nothing fit. Clothes are expensive!

Thank you if you read all of this, and please reply with tips on maintenance, those who have successfully maintained your weight loss for about 2 years or more.

Also, it is worth mentioning that I also have bipolar disorder and my high weights can sometimes coincide with my bipolar manias.

Sometimes I wanna give up and stay fat and ugly.

I 19F have been in a weight loss journey for 7 months now, lost a lot. But it just gets so hard. Today was a particularly hard day. I got my workout in, my steps, stuck to my calorie deficit. Yay. But the dread and depression really too over I guess

It’s great, but sometimes I feel like giving up. Food was such a big comfort in my life before I started this journey because I’m already ugly, I lacked romantic relationships and had people treat me badly.

It’s just so hard because I was very depressed and this might sound sad, but the only thing that Truly made me happy was binging on good food. And for seven months that Joy has been taken away from me because I had nothing else really. No friends constantly feeling hideous every day.

I’m not gonna give up. I can’t. But I just wanted to vent here because some times I have this voice in my head that wants me to stop and accept my life of loneliness accept being an ugly girl and accept being a fatty. Because maybe I’m just not meant to be a pretty girl maybe I’m just meant to be alone maybe I was put into this world for food to be my only company.

Do I need to slow down?

I’ve been on a weight loss journey for about 6.5 weeks now and have lost 42 lbs. I am trying to follow the 1% rule as I know it is best for my health. I currently eat around 1900+_250 calories a day which puts me in a 3 ish lb deficit. I usually get arround 120+ g of protein per day, averaging 14,000 steps and drinking at least a gallon of water a day. I am tracking most my food with a scale and the rest estimating.

Why am I losing so much weight, it can’t all be water weight this far in. Is there a reason for this loss and is it a bad one? Should I increase my calories to 3000 to try and reduce my rate of loss even though I feel completely full from my current consumption. I’m scared that if I do this I will regain my old eating habits and fall back off the wagon.
