Does anyone else not like it when others bring up their weight loss?

I 27f 5'6 gave lost approx 75lbs over the last two years. The last 30 lbs came off pretty fast and I noticed a drastic change in my physical appearance then. Since then many people, friends, acquaintances, family ect. have all congratulated me or mentioned my weightloss in some positive manner. And I dont like it. It makes me uncomfortable. I love being complimented on my hair, eyes or literally anything else. Just not my body. I think this is paired with the fact that ive noticed a pretty big difference in how people treat me. Strangers are nicer, im no longer invisible. And I dont like it, it actually pisses me off. Im still me, literally NOTHING has changed other than im now in a more socially acceptable package. I get it, im hot now. But I personally always found myself hot. I lost weight for health reasons. Thats not shaming anyone who lost weight for vanity reasons, genuinely I wholeheartedly love that for you. But I dont like when people point it out. Im not exactly sure why it bothers me so much but it does. I saw a friend who I hadn't seen in awhile recently and lovingly said "youre so skinny!!" Multiple times and I just stared at her. Didnt know what to say. I ended up snapping out of it and joking about it but I hated the interaction. I know people mean well but I wish nobody would comment on my body good or bad. Unless im in bed with someone lmao.

i don't feel like it's ever helped me to get 'excited' or 'really into' weight loss

motivation is one thing, and if you're pumped to start losing weight, then that's great. for me, that's never been so helpful because, most of the time i find weight loss is boring and sucks. i'd really rather not think of it and often if i do, it's not excitement, it's obsession and that doesn't help. it feels like a 'magic bullet' kind of thing when i'm excited for it and the reality is anything but. it's mostly about being practical.

i'm not saying nobody should get excited for it. sometimes putting in some kind of financial investment can keep you going or be motivational. buying workout clothes, a new cookbook, whatever other accessories. that is fun. the actual weight loss, though, for me is still a 'meh' experience that's not very exciting.

the exciting part for me, though, is the results. that is really really nice. having your clothing start to fit looser, finding it easier to move around and feeling stronger, that is worth getting excited over. for me, the process still sucks and i'd rather not get too involved and, ideally, i don't even want to think about it.

Am I plateauing or should I trust the averages?

Cross posted!

I lost weight slow and steady with remarkable consistency at the rate of one pound a week for over a year. I’m now 69.5 pounds down but have appeared to be stagnating for the last month. Day 1 of October to day 1 of November was the exact same weight (which has never happened to me). HOWEVER my averages tell a different story. According to my averages I lost an average of 3.7 pounds in October (which is essentially the same rate of weight loss as any other month!).

Is this one of those instances where the scale isn’t telling the whole story and I should trust the averages or should I make some changes? I did start mild strength training (1x per week until I build up some more tolerance- I have some physical disabilities). I worry that my appetite has revved up more than my metabolic rate has gone up. I also don’t want to undereat in this new phase of building strength!

slow weight loss and sustainability

hi, i don’t know if this is the right subreddit for this question but i’m hoping for some insight.

i’ve been fat most of my life, starting in childhood and i’m finally decided enough is enough and i’m preparing to start my weight loss journey of losing 100+ lbs. i’ve been doing lots of research and making a plan that i think could work for me. in doing so, i come across lots of posts talking about how slow weight loss is best and more sustainable than fast weight loss and my understanding of the “fast weight loss” is like losing weight fast through fad diets, and other unsustainable habits.

if someone does everything needed to lose weight in a sustainable way like being a calorie deficit, prioritizing protein and fiber, exercising regularly, practicing good habits, etc. and they are losing weight faster than whats considered “sustainable” or “slow,” would it be considered unsustainable? everyone is different, so people obviously lose weight differently. so my question is, if 2 people are following the same weight loss plan but one is losing weight faster than the other, would the one losing weight faster be unsustainable and prone to putting the weight back on?

Second round

In 2021, I lost about 75 lbs in a year naturally. I became a CO and worked 60-80 weeks, second shift, ate and went right to bed, had hardly any time for the gym and gained it all back. Although I look slightly less large then the last time due to lifting, it is still so dissapointing and frustrating. I have a normal schedule again, cardio everyday, gym 4-5x a week, calorie deficit, and it’s like nothing is happening. It’s been 4 months and I’ve lost about 10lbs and 3 inches. Last time in that same time frame I had lost triple. I go wedding dress shopping in December, I get married next October, I just have so many things coming up and I am so dedicated to this again yet it’s like nothing is working. What helped people the second time around on a big weight loss journey?

Need help with these last 10 kgs?

I’m 26, 191cm tall, and I’ve been on a weight loss journey since December 2023, starting at 125kgs. I started going to the gym in April 2024, and I’ve been lifting consistently for about 18 months. Honestly, I haven’t lost much weight in the last year—I’m still at 95kgs, which is pretty much the same as last December. I think I stopped counting calories and started eating around maintenance, hitting my protein goals.

Now, I’m trying to lose those last 10-12kgs, which has always been my goal weight, but I’m having a hard time sticking to the cut. Hunger is a real killer! I’d only need to skip 2-3 days, but then it starts creeping in, and I start eating. The only good thing is that I’m eating healthier foods now.

I could really use some help with this situation. I’m stuck!

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
