Armpit farts

So this is an odd one, but I am almost at a healthy BMI (this morning I was 25.02) down from 33.9 in June and, the last few days, I've found myself accidentally armpit farting whenever I have vigorous motion with my arm close to my body. Whenever I plunge my aeropress there's a risk of armpit fart and when I smashed garlic tonight, every single time there was an armpit fart.

I've not seen this talked about but has anybody else had this? I assume it goes away after a bit as skin tightens up but, if not, it's quite a funny side-effect of weight loss tbh.

Slower weight loss

I’m on my second weight loss journey. The first time I was 21 years old, cut super hard and probably had an eating disorder. Worked out hardcore every day.

This time, I’m 26, and now I’m a mom. I’m not doing a super hard cut because I need the energy, but it’s not very motivating how slow the scale is going down! I’m also exercising less. Trying to get out for daily walks and doing home workouts most days.

Is this normal as you get older/after having child? I’m aiming for 1lb a week loss but I think it’s even slower than that. I’m 5’8, 194lbs and started at 1900 cals but that was way too slow for me lol so I’m trying 1800 now.

With all that being said, the first time around I just wanted to be skinny. This time I’m aiming to be strong, healthy, and create life long habits. Also my knees are cracking with every squat lol save me

Need Advice on Cravings/Weight Loss Journey

Hi everyone! I have recently kicked off my health and weight loss journey, and I was doing well up until the last few weeks.

For example, last week, I was doing well in terms of my nutrition during the morning and day because I knew I had plans in the evening where food would be a bit out of my control. This week, I’ve had control over all of my meals, however no matter how healthy my actual meals are, I end up falling into a cravings trap and end up giving into it, which includes high carb, high-sugar content treats (think cinnamon rolls, bubble tea, and ice cream). Nothing else satisfies the craving until I actually give into it.

I need advice on how to stop giving into my cravings because it’s significantly derailing my progress. I drink a lot of water, I try to distract myself, I try not to be bored and still fall into these awful cravings that won’t go away until I cave in. I don’t restrict myself food-wise outside of trying to be lower carb. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

How to acclimate to life post weight loss?

I suddenly lost a lot of weight due to health problems. I dropped twenty pounds in one month and I look very different now. I used to have very chubby cheeks, but they're hollow now. A lot of people tell me I look better than I did before, but I feel like I haven't gotten used to the way I look.

I guess I was very attached to who I was before all of this happened. For instance, I had a makeup routine for rounder faces that I really liked, but now I have to figure out how to do makeup that compliments my new facial structure. Also, none of my clothes fit anymore either and I have to go shopping for a whole new wardrobe.

I wasn't prepared for this change and while people tell me it's a good thing, I'm struggling to come to terms with this new version of myself. It's like I'm looking at an entirely different person in the mirror. I've become unrecognizable to myself. How do I step into this new version of myself and get used to it?

I’m 24 and still can’t get fit. I’ve been trying since I was 12 and I feel completely helpless

Hello Everyone, I am really sorry if this does not exactly fit in with the theme of the subreddit.

I am M(24), and I have been trying to lose weight for twelve years now. Since I was a kid. It feels like nothing has changed.

I’m nowhere close to the person I thought I would become by now. It’s like I’ve spent half my life thinking about this one thing and I still don’t know how to get it right.

What makes it worse is that I’m not clueless. I know the logic. I know the science. Calories, deficits, routines, slow habits, all of it. I’ve consumed more information about weight loss than most people ever will. I have also read every motivational quote, every discipline trick, every “no zero days” idea out there. I’ve tried to hype myself up so many times that I’m just numb to it now.

But none of it sticks. I start well for a few days and then something switches off in my brain. I don’t binge like crazy, but I overeat just enough or stop working out just enough to undo everything. And I don’t even fully understand why I’m doing it. I don’t know if it’s emotion, stress, boredom, or some part of me that just refuses to change.

The confusing part is that I’m not like this in other areas. I can work hard. I can learn quickly. I can plan and execute. But when it comes to my body, I feel powerless. I feel like I’m fighting myself and losing every single time.

I keep thinking I should have solved this by 25 (my prefrontal cortex would be fully developed by then), even though I know that idea is kind of stupid. Still, it lingers there. And I’m tired. I’m tired of restarting. I’m tired of feeling like I’m running in circles. I’m tired of feeling like I’m failing at something that should be simple.

So I’m asking people who finally figured this out after years of trying. What actually changed for you? How did you break the cycle when nothing ever worked before?

Please help me out, I feel heartbroken. I am honestly stuck and I don’t know what to do anymore.

Is my personal trainer bad or is this normal?

I paid for an online coaching program with a promo. He promised a meal plan, supplement guide, weekly check-ins, and workouts tailored to my goals. I’m 1 month in, and my primary goal is weight loss, then toning and building muscle. What I got was possibly a generic workout plan with only one tricep exercise despite me mentioning my flabby underarms, and it has no calf exercises. He did not explain why these workouts were chosen, just gave them to me. There was no nutrition guidance, especially about calories and protein intake, even though he talks about body recomposition over just losing weight. At first I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he said he wants to "speed up" my metabolism first, but now I totally doubt him.

His meal plan is basic

Meal 1: 2 whole eggs plus 1 egg white scrambled or fried in 1 tbsp olive oil with 30g oats soaked in water, or 150g white fish with 100g rice

Meal 2: 120g chicken breast with 100g rice and 1 cup green veggies

Meal 3: 150g lean ground beef with 100g potato and 1 cup green veggies

No alternatives like airfry or bake, he only said grill them. The supplement guide he gave is only whey protein from Optimum Nutrition (expensive in our country) without considering my budget. He also advises brisk walking every after gym session totaling around 3 hours per workout day without asking if it even fits my schedule. Despite my push back, he insists on the walks. No video calls, only chat messages, and when I missed a week because of a typhoon, he did not provide motivation, just short, generic “you got this” or “discipline yourself” type messages.

Because of his approach, I feel the need to research on my own since the guidance is lacking and raises doubts. Overall, it feels like low-effort, cookie-cutter coaching that ignores weak points, nutrition, and real personalization. When I raised my concerns, he said all programs are the same for everyone and focus on fitting your schedule, being low-stress, and allowing proper recovery. He claims there’s no generic workout because consistency in execution is what matters most. Now I’m seriously questioning if money spent was even worth it, as I expected him to save me time by educating me and providing real coaching.

Based on this, should I cancel, or give him a chance? There’s no mention of a money-back guarantee, so I might just have to cut my losses and learn from the experience.

I lost weight, but this time I can actually appreciate the difference

I 21f have struggled with my weight my whole life and growing up as a ballerina I yo-yoed heavily between starving myself and binging.

Well a couple years ago I had a real wake-up call realizing I was 240lbs at 19 and the number was not going down.

I was determined to do it differently this time. I picked running back up, switched out my typical breakfast for overnight oats, and switched out my daily lunch for a salad.

I lost 40lbs pretty quickly. I have had a lot of setbacks since that initial 40lbs; two back-to-back injuries, grad school, and an incredibly complicated living situation. I have taken hiatuses, I have put back on (and relost) 10 or 15lbs but I am back at it again now and that's what matters.

Anyways, I could never see the difference between my heaviest weight and my weight now (roughly 190lbs) which I know sounds crazy because its a difference of 50lbs but body dysmorphia makes you see crazy things. Other people commented on my weight loss but I just couldnt see it. I could feel it sure and I knew it was real because the scale was telling me but I couldnt see it.

This weekend I was scrolling through old videos and found one of me from my heaviest running in a sporty halter dress. I thought I looked different but I had to be sure. I put on the sundress despite it snowing outside and had my boyfriend take a video of me.

HOLY COW!!! I actually do look different!! I dont have back fat spilling over the back of my halter dress now, you can see my arm muscles now, I run faster now, and more than all of that, I am different. I don't know why it suddenly clicked but my god am I glad it did.
