I hit one of my biggest goals in my WLJ

Hi everyone :') I've lurked here for quite some time, and first of all I'd like to say thank you for all for all the encouragement you've given even though you've got no idea you did it. I read so many accounts of weight loss journeys and used them as motivation to get to where I am today.

I just wanted to post this somewhere, because I feel like I can't really talk to anyone, but my boyfriend who was very congratulatory, about this. I started my wlj about a year and a half ago, at about 362lbs. One of my biggest goals in my journey was I wanted to be able to ride rollercoasters with my boyfriend at Halloweekends at Cedar Point. We went last year and I couldn't ride a single ride, and I was devasted. This year? I stand here at around 270lbs, and this past weekend was the Cedar Point trip; I got to ride the coasters. I fit in every single one I tried, and I cried from happiness. I've tried so hard to get where I am today, and while I know I have a way to go to get to my ultimate goals, it was just such an amazing nsv I wanted to share.

rate my bulking hot cereal - for bulking / weight loss / satiety

Going for max fullness and minimum calories.

Ingredients:

1. 2 tablespoons of oat bran
2. 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed
3. 6 tablespoons of unground flaxseed
4. 5 tablespoons of erythritol
5. boiled, filtered water as needed

Preparation: mix dry ingredients, add some water, microwave until hot (3-4 minutes), then mix and add filtered water as needed.

Any advice/changes? I've seen lots of different answers from AI since it gets confused by the unground flax seeds due to uncertainty regarding how well that food gets absorbed.

Your most delicious meal recommendations

I am curious to know, as many of you are pros at cooking for weight loss, what are some meals you like to make that are very delicious and actually interesting. I’m stuck in a rut because I really want to be cooking interesting meals full of vegetables and herbs and such but have spent HOURS scrolling google and Pinterest to find meals that actually sound really good but find a whole lot of nothing. I’m not a very well rounded cook yet so I have to rely on recipes to make stuff that actually tastes good lol. Share all the recipes please!

Lost 50 pounds, but….

Why does it feel like nothing? At my starting weight, losing 50 pounds, which would have completely transformed another person, I feel like makes me look barely different. Like, my face is definitely thinner, and my clothes are fitting better, but I also can’t help but feel like I haven’t actually done anything that impressive. I hate how long I still have to go before I hit my goal weight, especially because at my current calorie goal (1700 a day to hopefully stay at losing 2 pounds a week), I’ve been having so much trouble meeting the goal.

I hate myself for putting me in this situation. All that food really wasn’t worth it. But also, sometimes, I miss getting to eat whatever I want without thinking about it.

I hate how much leftover skin I’m probably going to have when I’m done. I’m doing this mostly for my health, and I love how I can already tell that I’m moving better, but I’ve always wanted to feel attractive. I hate that when all of this is done, I’m probably going to be even uglier than before.

I just, I don’t know. People in my life are congratulating me but I don’t really feel proud. Instead just focused on where I need to end up. I feel like weight loss is the only thing I have going on right now/the only place where I’m succeeding and when I don’t lose at a good enough pace I start feeling nervous/bad about myself because I want it so bad. When I don’t get enough steps, too, as that’s really my only form of exercise right now.

Which brings me to my last point. I’m kind of doing this all alone. I’m not great at finding out my TDEE, and I have a general sense of how many calories my body needs to run every day because of the InBody scan, but I don’t know exactly how to figure out what exact calorie amount I need to be eating to stay in a 1,000 calorie deficit. I spend all of my time either sick because I haven’t eaten or sick because I fill up way too quickly and my body’s still hungry.

Overall it’s been a lot of up and down, where I notice the scale go down or something gets easier or something fits again, and I’m over the moon. But then overall it just being a very scary/negative experience. When I read other people’s posts, I see the leftover skin fears, but not really anything else that I’ve touched on.

Y’guys know what I’m talking about?

Will I have loose skin?

Will I have loose skin? To put it out short I'm 162cm 80kg (84kg was highest and I gained weight fast I was 73kg not so long ago). I'm 18F and I've always been overweight or on the chubby side but not to this extent.

What I'm worried about is loose skin especially because I have silver stretch marks and I tend to store fat on my midsection and legs. Now my arms as well and ive noticed some stretch marks but when i was in a lower weight i didnt have that much on my arms. I also think I have a high fat %.

I really want to go to 55kg but this is stopping me and I'm not really sure how to start weight loss (preferably lose it in 6-7 months but im not setting a strict time frame). I can't really go to the gym/strength training right now until I finish my exams in December. What should I do? Is loose skin inevitable/will be noticable?

Stuck right before my goal weight. Gym keeps ruining my progress 🫠

Details: apple shaped body, 26F, currently 57kg (125 lbs), 1,57m (5’2)

Hey guys, I’m so close to my goal weight but every time I go back to the gym, my progress just stops completely.

I have to go to the gym because otherwise I get terrible back pain, so I need to train my back regularly. I also want to build my booty. The problem is: whenever I start lifting again, my weight loss stalls. Even when I’m tracking carefully and eating in a deficit, the scale just won’t move.

I lost my first 10kg (22lbs) without the gym, but now I look kind of skinny fat and I really want to change that. Last year I tried going to the gym for about 10 weeks and it was the same thing no progress on the scale. I was even doing cardio (5x a week, 30 min after workouts + 10k steps a day).

What can I do to keep training (for my back + glutes) and still lose fat? My gym also has classes like strength or back workouts with dumbbells instead of machines. Should I try those instead?

I’m so close to my goal weight and I feel totally stuck.

Any advice or experiences would mean a lot. 🙏

What’s my next move?

I (23f) have lost 31lbs in the last year mainly by staying in a pretty steep calorie deficit and incorporations more movement into my day (stairs instead of elevator, an extra walk here and there). It’s been slow, sustainable, and has improved my mental health and physical wellbeing. I am still wanting to lose another 30-40lbs, but I think I’ve found myself at a kind of fork in the road. The app I was using to track all of my calories, movement, and chart my weight loss totally glitched out and I lost all of my data. When I redownloaded it, it doesn’t allow me to input or save meals, etc anymore. I’ve investigated the technology issue and have googled the problem but it seems like this is too new to have a readily available solution. Additionally, for the past 3 weeks it has been extremely difficult to continue in my caloric deficit. I find that I’ve been eating maintenance calories for the past few weeks and therefore have not continued to lose weight. (I am not gaining weight either, so I suppose it’s not a total loss).

I guess I’m just having a hard time deciding if I need to change my plan to be more efficient in my weight loss/fitness journey. Do I adjust the deficit? Do I continue with just cardio, or should I move to heavy lifting? (Up to this point I’ve avoided heavy lifting because it’s not my favorite and I find it slowed my weight loss for several months when I was doing it, although I realize it will be necessary for composition later) Do I just keep on with what I’ve been doing?

TL;DR: how do you change/adjust your weight loss plan as you progress?
