Vacation weight loss

So i went on a vacation on 10/2 and on 9/30 I weighed 159 lbs. I came back on 10/12 and weighed 155.9. Is that actually possible? I did a couple exercises over that vacation and watched my calories (except the day of a friend's wedding I didn't log at all) and besides one road trip day didn't go much over my calorie limit.

Is it possible the break from exercise is what my body needed to drop some of the weight? I weighed today at 154.8 so lost a bit more. Just a little but makes me think the dropped weight is right?

Should I be taking more routine breaks from exercise in order to better lose weight? Before this i had over 60 days in a row of at least 20 minutes of cardio a day (most days 60-85) and strength training 6 days a week for about 20 minutes.

Alcohol and Weight Loss

So I never post on here but I just wanted to say that I’ve lost around 40 pounds since February and I am feeling so much more confident and comfortable in my body. Honestly yes I’ve been eating in a cal deficit and moving more but I would attribute the majority of my weight loss to no longer drinking any alcohol. Major game changer! I’ve got around 20ish pounds to my goal weight (currently 186, looking to be around 160ish) but I just wanted to say that losing all of those empty calories from alcohol has really done some amazing things for me and I thought maybe that info could help someone else 😊 I’m also sure this is NOT new info but I just wanted to post somewhere about my accomplishment lol

Weight Loss Update

149 days ago I made this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/s/mCP23l1ij6

My goal was to go back to Busch Gardens Williamsburg since I hadn’t been since 2014 due to my weight. I had a goal to reach 240 by the end of October.

SW 323 CW 249 GW 160

I went back yesterday as I have a big family trip planned for there on November 1st, and wanted to get an idea of what I fit and what I did not fit in.

I will say I only did not fit on 2 coasters which was Big Bad Wolf and Invadr. However Invadr was extremely close. Maybe another inch or two and I would have fit.

Otherwise, I had a ton of fun. I rode verbolten and darkoaster several times. I did have to use the extended seats for alpengeist and griffon, but I’m glad I was able to ride them again! For the first time in 10 years!! I’m so happy I’m as close as I am to my goal. Maybe I can get closer to 240 by Halloween?

It was so nice to relive the experiences I had there so long ago. I know if I visited 50 pounds ago I wouldn’t have fit on anything. I’ll take this trip as a win and look forward to November 1st to try out the seats I didn’t fit again :)

I think I am suffering from Bulimia

Hi, I’m (26F) 155cm and 64kg now. I started my weight loss journey in March 2025 and have already lost 8 kg. However, over the past three months, I haven’t been able to lose any more weight and even gained 2 kg back. I know I haven’t been eating properly, but I just can’t control my mind or stop myself from eating or wanting to eat. Even after having a really big dinner, I still crave chocolates and pancakes. And today, I tried to make myself vomit to get everything out. I’m starting to worry that I might be having bulimia.

Any tips for me to survive this situation? I really want to back on my track but every single time I get back on, i wanna break it.

Weight loss journey ( 2 months in )

Hi everyone !

First time user of the app , found it very user friendly compared to some other ones .

Long short story I’ve gained an unhealthy amount of weight over the past couple of years ( 111 kg ) and always struggled to have a balanced diet due to bad eating habits despite being quite an active person in the gym for the last 2 years .

It eventually reached a breaking point where I couldn’t stand looking at myself in the mirror anymore and decided to do something about it .

I’ve never kept track of calories or read nutrition labels before in my life so it took a bit of practice to get used to it at first but the end result has been quite rewarding so far .

My initial goal was to reach 95 kg by the end of the year and move into phase 2 afterwards where I’m gonna try to slim down to 87-90 ish kg until the next Summer .

I’m currently on 99.2kg , 2 months into it and I’m probably running ahead of schedule a little .

29 y.o , 1.85 cm height ( 111 kg at the beginning of September ) , fairly active at the gym , 5 days a week , 2 days of rest or just some regular walking in the park ) .

My weekly calorie intake from foods is somewhere around 1750-1800 ish ignoring whatever bonus calories the app adds from the readings it gets from the apple watch .

Macros split is currently something around :

16% fat - 37% carbs - 47% protein

3 meals a day , snacks mainly fruits and some low fat protein puddings or yogurts .

Breakfast usually consists of : egg whites , low fat cottage cheese , 3-4 slices of wholewheat bread , bacon rashers

Lunch :

Chicken breast or thighs , lean turkey or beef burger , white rice /w mushrooms , cooked green peas , boiled cauliflowers / spinach , sweet potatoes

Dinner :

Protein shake ( 35 g protein powder , 300g low fat yogurt, 70ml skimmed milk , 50-100g of quaker oats , 1 banana )

Any recommendations for meal ideas or things I should consume in moderation or add to my diet will be greatly appreciated .

P. s : I live in Europe so I do apologies for the different units of measurements .

Why is using a food scale low key embarrassing

It’s NOT (for any of us here who know the significance of tracking calories) but it feels like it is. I’m a college student and I’m currently sitting in my room waiting until my roommate’s friend leaves because last time she was here she made comments about me using the scale to make my dinner. I know I shouldn’t let a stranger control me like that but I’m tired and it’s midterms season so I’m burnt out and I don’t want to deal with it. But does anyone else think this?? I’ve been in maintenance for a few years now after losing almost 70lbs, so the food scale is worth the weird looks I sometimes get because I know it’s such a useful tool and has enabled me to maintain my weight loss long term. I lost the majority of the weight as a teenager and I just turned 22 and haven’t gained an ounce back. So I’m not willing to give up the food scale, but I would love for non-cico enthusiasts to just chill a little bit. No, I don’t have an ED. Yes, I eat enough. Yes, this is sustainable (been doing it for years! happily eating at maintenance!). And no, I truly don’t mind doing it. I thought some of you might relate to this. I feel like I have less shame and more frustration

30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 11 October 2025

Hello lose it folks!

Day 11 of October 2025! I hope you're having a spooky fun day today! 🍂🎃🖤

This is the daily update for y’all to post how your goals went today.

If you’re new here, there is a whole sidebar full of links to explore. I would start with the day 1, then roll through the others:

Recurring Day 1 Monday - Newest Day 1 thread will be the first link listed

You don’t have to wait for a new month to join in! You are always welcome!

Here in this post, we aim to foster a supportive, caring place to discuss the actual day to day of deficits & counting & caring so much about how we fuel our bodies & lives.

So, post how your goals for this month are going in the comments below! I’ll post mine below too, so don’t be shy!

October 11 is World Obesity Day. Such a tough topic. I’m obese still. I will be for a while longer yet. It can complicate my health and wellness. It has also garnered so much judgement that at times, it has made my life more difficult, even when I am fighting tooth and nail to improve and not be obese. It is important to remember even on this journey to lose mass that we are more than the number on the scale. Life is more than a weight loss journey, and it is okay to be obese.

And I know this is a hot take, but it is also okay to be obese & not be on some over hyped “weight loss journey” with all the bells and whistles and fanfare that becomes your whole identity. It is okay to just be here striving for a better you than a previous version of you, and both are still fat (it’s possible I’m talking to myself now). Big changes do not start big. They start small and simple and sustainable.

Sorry, that was a long one. Love y’all, take kind care of yourself and keep kicking ass.
