I'm confused about my mom's reaction about my weight loss

I (29F) have lost 60 pounds (From 200 to 140). And I'm not done yet, but I'm just so confused about my mom's reaction.

I visited her a week ago. And she said nothing. She is one of the biggest reasons why I have eating problems, but a part of me still wanted her approval. So I embraced myself for positive comments, but nothing came. She always comments on my weight. When I went through a divorce I was in a very dark place and I lost about 5 pounds in a week. And she even then commented ''to keep going, because I looked great''. Well, unfortunately I can not divorce every week, so that was a very stressful comment. And of course I gained the 5 pounds back.

However, now I'm in a very happy place and continuing to lose the weight the healthy way, there is radio silence. She even told me that she wanted to buy me a tailored dress (not unusual), but then proceeded to say. You can always call me if you do want the dress because I already have your measurements from 2 years ago. Okay? Well obviously I am a little different now? Or is it not that obvious? Even though I am disappointed, I am also very confused and want to know what your insight is about this?

I don't want to ask her yet, because discussing my weight loss is still uncomfortable for me.

Loestrin to get period back

Can anyone please share their experiences with Lo/Loestrin? Did you get your period back? I have been prescribed by me gynecologist because I have not had my period for 7 months now due to undereating and weight loss (no training/exercises done). I'm wondering whether anyone had positive outcomes. Any skin breakouts digestive issues nausea bloating etc?

I am more concerned that pills would only provide "artificial" period. Will Loestrin regulate period cycles? Will it make it regular?

I have just been nourishing eating healthy fats carbs protein but somehow still no period even with healthy bmi.

How can I boost my confidence?

SW: 270 CW: 154 GW: 135-140 27 y/o female

Hey everyone! First time posting in this sub. I have been working my ass off the past couple of years and have managed to lose about 116lbs so far.

I’ve lost most of my weight through a calorie deficit and increased activity (mostly walking). I try to incorporate some body weight training and lifting in the mix but to be honest, I just dont enjoy doing it as much as I enjoy cardio.

With the weight loss, I am left with some pretty significant loose skin. As a 27 year old woman I find myself getting so in my head about it and frustrated that despite all my efforts, I will never be able to have the body of someone my age. My stomach and breast have taken the biggest hit and I’m so drained. I went from feeling self conscious about my size, to being self conscious about this.

I am not currently in a financial position to afford skin removal surgery / breast augmentation yet, but that is the ultimate goal (which comes with its own sets of worries)

Is anyone else in the position that could give me some guidance on dealing with this or accepting it? I know lots of people view their loose skin as an accomplishment, and it is, but man it can also be hard to accept.

That funny moment when you realized you've lost real weight?

It's this point in weight loss when you just don't SEE it. Your clothes fit a little different. Maybe your favorite chair doesn't creek as much. But you still don't SEE it.

Then something happens. A moment when you realize your body really is shrinking.

For me, I used to have good, juicy belly overhang. This was a good place to warm my hands in the winter. I sometimes would stuff a pair of socks there to warm them for my feet.

But I also used it to hold my towel in the shower. One day, I go to put my towel in it's holding place and it falls right to the floor of the bathtub. And I just looked at it. Probably for a full minute. Wasting water and everything.

I was shocked. And befuddled. And kinda...lost. Like, where do I put my towel now? I even tried to put it there again with no success.

I had to adjust to using my thighs to warm my hands and hold things in the shower.

Anyone else have that moment?

Losing weight but..

Hi, Im new to this group. I’m 27 years old mama of 2 beautiful toddlers boys 3 years old and soon to be 2 years old. Gained so much weight from 21-27…

I guess I’ll start from the beginning bc it started to hit me recently since I finally got a hold of my weight loss journey and actually stuck with it but growing up my mother would always call me names especially fat and obese. I was always in sports sometimes 2 sports in one season. She would make me run every day from the age 10-17 and if I stopped running she would add another mile until I completed without stopping. There’s much more abuse when it came down to my weight . She would make my siblings call me fat and poke fun of me. Sometimes she would even buy two sizes down so I wouldn’t have new clothes there’s a lot of baggage I’m unpacking in therapy. The reason I say this is because I’m 27 and after many years of not looking back at my photos because I have horrible body dysmorphia I did recently and started balling my eyes out. My whole life I believed every word my mom told me. I had an ED growing up bc of it and I guess I’m shocked and angry about it because turns out I wasn’t fat. I was a fit teenager healthy and curvy! And I hate that I allowed someone who I thought cared about my weight treat me the way she did that it’s now causing problems for my mind when I’m actually losing weight . I’m constantly talking down to myself . My Husband is the sweetest and motivates me and compliments me no matter the size I was and am right now. I’m grateful I have someone like him to remind me I’m strong and capable and to continue to work on myself for me.

Did anyone else go through this?

I started therapy recently to help with my mind and healing parts of myself . I let myself go and I’m finally taking myself back. I don’t have food noise anymore! I’m eating less! My stomach has gone down and I’m actually proud of myself. I’m on a calorie deficit and so far I have lost 10 lbs but what’s crazy is how much bloating has gone away! I’m 5’8 I started at 315lbs I’m currently 305lbs ! My goal weight right now is to be at 245lbs and go from there and see how I feel and look and then decide if I still want to go down more . I’ve always been curvy thick thighs and butt so I want to keep my figure curvy . I’m doing HIIT workouts at home and walking daily . I hope to reach my goal . I started this journey a month ago and I just need all the positive energy my way. Prayers anything really . 🤍 I’m really excited to be apart of this group and gain insight and advice !

Those with PCOS, how much does it impact your weight loss speed?

I've (5'8, 180lbs) been trying to lose 30 pounds for about 8 months now, and have mild to moderate PCOS. I lost 10 pounds initially with intermittent fasting and am currently eating at a large deficit (600-700 calories) but my weight loss has been at a plateau for about 6 months now. I know people's gut reaction is to say I must not be tracking properly but I measure my calories and meal prep/weigh food religiously; if anything I'm likely not eating enough. I do cardio 3x a week and lift 4-5x a week, and have an active job. The only thing that's changed is I've been doing a lot of progressive overload at the gym, but my waist measurements have also been stagnant so it can't be enough muscle gain to make the number stay the same imo.

I was diagnosed with mild PCOS when I was around 18 and I'm starting to wonder if it could be contributing? I've had my thyroid checked as well but haven't checked my hormones since my initial diagnosis. I'm not too keen on medicating it just to lose 10-15 pounds especially if I can slowly do it myself. If anyone else with PCOS is reading this do you have tips to help break through a plateau? Am I stuck at this weight forever? :')

am i doomed to have loose skin? 230 lbs and trying to get to 150 lbs.

i’m 28 F, 5,9 and 230 pounds. i ballooned up in weight because my dr put me on 3 prescriptions for my mental health but failed to tell me all three cause massive spikes in your appetite.

i gained around 80 pounds over the course of a year. i’m getting off the meds now and am going to start losing weight and am trying to get down to 150. my confidence is shot. i’m so depressed every day, i can’t look in the mirror, i avoid showering so that i don’t have to look at my body. these meds were supposed to help me feel better in my head and all they did was make me hate myself even more.

at my weight am i doomed to get loose skin? i’m already covered in horrendous stretch marks from my weight gain and it has me feeling so awful about myself. the last thing i need is for this god awful weight loss to permanently mark my body with loose skin.
