Worried about metabolism getting slow ?

So I’m 26m 170 cm height . Around 24 days ago my weight had increased to 89.2 kg due to really bad eating . Since that day i started a strict diet with a little bit of water fasting in between here and there . My average calorie intake came down to 1300 to max 1400 calories per day , i think could be less also because some days i eat a lot less and fast too , but there have been just 3-4 days where you can say i cheated that was also just when it went to 1700 so you can say really clean cheat .

So today morning my weight has come down to 81.65 kg so around 7.5 kg loss . I was working out in the beginning but due to work and a bit of laziness i haven’t been working out since 2 weeks and mostly you can say i have a desk job so I’m sedentary . But i will really get back to working out . But I’m not cheating on my diet like I’m still maintaining it hence I’m still losing weight . My protein intake comes on average 40 grams a day , protein is less because I’m overall eating less . So i know the things i need to improve are take more protein and work out more .

So coming to my concern I’ve more or less adjusted to my diet . But if i keep taking such less calories sure i will lose weight but will it affect my metabolism and make it slow ? Like will it slow down my weight loss even though I’m eating less

Is it possible to lose fat when you cant eat fat or protein?

Its supposed to be possible, because CICO, but almost every single weight loss advice I come across makes it seem like its impossible to lose fat if you do not consume protein and fat.

I have MCAS, and my diet is extremely limited, I have anaphylactic reactions to almost all food except a few vegetables and minimal ingredient bread/pasta. My body cannot tolerate anything that is high fat, and i think the highest protein thing i eat is only 4g for one slice of sourdough. I simply do not have a choice to eat meats or anything that would be considered beneficial in fat loss.

I am intermittent fasting and in a caloric deficit, but it seems like its not really working as well as it should be.

Final boss celulite

Hi everyone!

I’m 25F SW:91.7kg CW:68.5kg GW:63-65kg, I started my weight loss journey on January 3rd and through a lot of challenges (75Medium) and diets and excursuses got down 23.2 kg in these 10 months.

I started to gain weight at 19 with somewhere around 63-68kg, being my heaviest at 22 with 108kg and then slowly losing it over the 3 years before giving it a big push this year. As I’m approaching my goal weight, I looked into the mirror and I sadly do not look like I looked when I was 19, my legs have lots of cellulite and generally don’t look that nice, same goes for upper arm fat.

I dont mind my weight in KG’s anymore but I’d love to hear any tips on how to make my legs look less mushy (I also have massive calves 39cm compared to my upper leg widest being 62cm) so I’d love to hear literary any advice on how to slim down or what weight should I orientate for😅

Thank you in advance!

new to weight loss, need advice

hello - fairly recently (1 month ago), i made the decision to actively start trying to lose weight. i am 5’8” woman, a healthy weight for me looks to be about 150 lbs. in the last two years, ive gone up to just over 180 lbs and im really starting to see it.

i know the important parts are eating at a calorie deficit/exercising. but i am really struggling with how to do this. i generally already eat pretty well (mainly vegetarian diet, lots of fruits/veg) though i am trying to bump up my protein intake. but i began tracking calories occasionally, just to see where i was at, and i dont know how it’s possible for me to eat less. i already average around 1600 cals per day from food, and been going to the gym about 3 times per week. it’s about all i can swing given my work schedule/other responsibilities. and i have seen no progress.

does anyone have any tips?? i do drink beer a few times a week and they are typically heavier beers like IPAs. is this what is ruining any progress? do i have to cut out the beer? that would suck! please help!

Suggestions or Advice Welcome!

36M here. Currently 250lbs and 6’1. Work out w/ weights 5x a week and do some form of cardio 6x a week. Im not chubby but definitely have bodyparts where i could lose fat. Track macros on and off, but generally am around 250g protein, 150g carbs, 60g fat.

Trying to drop weight but having struggles. These macros above comes out to about 2100-2200 calories per day. Obviously its either drop calories or increase energy output, but even at these macros my body feels like its screaming for food. Not just in my stomach, but headaches and I feel it in my body in different areas (if that makes any sense). Ive also noticed that if i increased macros from this I still have the same hunger signaling so it all feels hopeless

Any suggestions on what I could be missing would be greatly appreciated. For added context I started my fitness journey 10+ years ago at 400lbs, so i know the 150lb weight loss is great, but the last 4-5 years have been fluctuating between 220lbs and 250lbs without finding a way to find a maintenance.

Thanks!

Anxiety + successful weight loss, anyone?

I’ve (46F, 5’4”) weighed 180 for a good 5 years. I’ll be really good about tracking calories and exercising and then life hits, my anxiety level is high for several days and I fall off the wagon. I fall off because I’m so in my head that any effort to make healthy food is “too much” for me. I reach for anything easy and sugar satisfies the most. Exercising doesn’t even cross my mind because I’m so preoccupied. Then the shame and anxiety about gaining the weight back and feeling so dysfunctional and hopeless sets in for several more days. I’ll be in this place for a few weeks, finally get myself to snap out of it, but now I’ve undone any previous progress and I’m back at square one. I’m in therapy and take an anxiety med, so I’m doing what I can on that front. Does anyone else relate? Any advice on what I can do to stay on track with CICO and exercise when anxiety hits in the future?

[Challenge] European Accountability Challenge: 1st November 2025

Hi team Euro accountability, I hope you’re all well!

For anyone new who wants to join today, this is a daily post where you can track your goals, keep yourself accountable, get support, and have a chat with friendly people at times that are convenient for European time zones. Check-in daily, weekly, or whatever works best for you. It’s never the wrong time to join! Anyone and everyone is welcome! Tell us about yourself and let's continue supporting each other.

For all new people that have joined this month, at the start of the month we do a roundup of what happened. We'll also talk about our goals for November.

How was your last month?

You're free to structure this however you want, but think about the following topics:

• How has your weight loss progressed? Better, or worse than expected?
• What are some Non Scale Victories that you've experienced this month?
• Did you set goals, did you keep to them?
• What went well during last month, what could need improvement?
• What important lessons did you learn?

Today is also the goal-setting day for the coming month!!

If you're new, every first day of the month we think about small goals we want to achieve this month. They can be weight goals, exercise goals, or anything really... An important aspect is that they are SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time based...

• Do you have a goal weight for this month, if yes, what is it? For example: maintain a 0.5kg loss a week.
• Do you have exercise goals? For instance, get in 10.000k steps a day
• What plans do you have for your diet? Do you have goals there?
• What are some non-weight/exercise-related goals you have? Here, get creative. Past participants have used this section to stay accountable for their homework, learning languages, pledging not to order junk food, ...

If you’re new, please introduce yourself! Let’s kick some ass!
