Starting to lose weight. Any advice?

Hey everyone👋 After holding it off for a while I will finally start my weight loss journey today. I’m around 6 or 6’1 and weigh around 220 but I do not look 220 at all. Most people would guess 180-200 but I don’t really work out so I don’t know how much is muscle. I am also very broad which I didn’t realise myself even after people kept telling me. I only realised after I compare myself to a door and saw I’m super big. I really don’t want to be obese, but am getting close to it.

I am shooting to be around 170 by the summer time (June) and obviously I will still continue trying to be more fit after I reach my goal. I have a plan and I want to ask if this is fine for now since I am really lost with what to work out and how much to cut without losing muscle. Anyways here is my plan:

Every day I will eat 1500-1700 (TDEE is 2400)

I will do cardio every day + workout part of my body.

Monday: Cardio + Chest, Back, Core • Tuesday: Cardio + Shoulders, Arms • Wednesday: Cardio + Legs, Core • Thursday: Cardio + Chest, Arms • Saturday: Cardio + Full-body mix (Chest, Back, Legs, Shoulders) • Sunday: Cardio + Core focus

Estimate on when I’m at my ideal body composition?

(For context, I’m 20M, SW 87,2kg) So, as of this week I’m officially 77,7kg! That’s almost a 10kg loss now! I’m really happy, proud and more motivated than ever, but I’m wondering at what weight I’ll be “done” and get to the body composition I’m looking for? I want to keep eating healthy and working out for the rest of my life, but I feel like I kinda need this horizon for me personally to kinda know when to switch to maintenance if that makes sense?

My InBody scan at my gym shows that I’m around 31.5% body fat. I did some research on when love handles go away and you can sometimes see a start of a six pack, and that apparently happens around 20% bf? Which, if my calculations are correct, means I need to lose around 10kg more, and my ‘ideal’ weight is around 67kg? I don’t want to be shredded at all tbh! So, what I want to know is: are there people out there with some similar stats that are further on in their weight loss journey? And at what point did you notice your love handles (almost entirely) going away/starting to see some abs sometimes? I’d love to know!

Ps. I know comparing won’t get me anywhere, and it’s just guesswork to figure out my ideal weight, but I do really want to know what it was like for you guys! Thanks!

Excess skin pain

I have a question, I’ve been on a weight loss journey for basically my whole life but last year they finally found and treated underlying conditions and I’ve lost like 70 pounds this year, and (20 in the last 6 weeks) but now I have this lipoma and skin in my abdomen that hurts and constant nausea (I’m maxed out on nausea meds) I just discovered if I pull the lipoma and skin roll away from my body that the nausea goes away. I’m going to tell my doctor, but is there anything I can do to help this? Like wraps, corsets, etc. The nausea is making me loose weight at a rate that concerns me because I’m not eating.

Lost 42kg, when do I stop?

Hi!

For information: I’m 22, 188cm, currently 105KG.

January 2025 I started my weight loss journey, and weighed myself at 147 KG on January 1st, I then slowly lost weight at around a kilo a week, with my current weight sitting around 105 KG’s

Changing my eating habits made the biggest difference, I just ate a lot higher in protein and a lot less candy / carbs.

As for exercise, I only really did resistance training at home, with some weights for 30 minutes a day, to keep muscle loss at a minimum, though its almost impossible to completely avoid when losing such a big amount of weight.

Aside from that, I didn’t go to the gym. I do sometimes walk a few kilometres in the woods, but that’s purely for fun, not necessarily for the exercise.

Now the burning question I have is: What now? I want to go to the gym and really focus on gaining a lot of muscle, but I’m not really sure if I will gain anything as I’m still in a heavy deficit most of the days, gaining muscle while losing weight is very hard, so it feels pointless.

My plan is currently to go until 95kg (hopefully will get there at somewhere in late February or 2026, and to then switch to a slight surplus and really test how disciplined I am when it comes to going to the gym.

Losing more weight at rest

Age 36 Weight 230 Height 5'8

Hello

I've been on a fat loss journey for probably 2-3 years now, going from 320 to 230. Im on some medication for blood sugar control (metformin) but other than that nothing else I take would have an effect on my weight.

Im writing to ask about a weird phenomenon I noticed over these 3 years. For the most part, my exercise is alot of walking, like 70-80k steps per week. The weird thing I noticed though I that when I slow down to like 50k steps, after a prolonged period of walking a lot, the scale goes lower. I spent probably 5 months walking extensively and eating, more or less, healthy and the number on the scale remained the same even though I lost a few pants sizes. For the last 3 months I've lost about 10 pounds despite not getting as much exercise and maintaining a regular diet, and this isn't the first time it happened.

Im asking for the physiological explanation for this, if it's healthy and if it's just me. Chatgpt it's related to water retention but it seems to be permanent weight loss.

And AGAIN, for the fourth time in two months, each time I reach my goal weight I binge like crazy. Please tell me how to avoid this!

Hi everyone! As stated in the title, it's crazy. I am a 26yo guy who just went through a long weight loss journey, from 92kg to 66kg in 9 months. My goal is to finally have visible abs, and I know it's probably going to take just one more kg or less, as they now start to be more or less there and I am very consistent with physical activity and gym.

And today I started the day very happy. Happy to see myself in the mirror and see how close I am to the end of this process. It's the fourth time I approach the end, and each one of these times the same pattern happens and sets me back for weeks. Today I started the day motivated to stick to my deficit, and then at work it was one of my colleagues' birthdays and they brought lots of cakes and snacks. I tried to say no, to walk out the room, to tell myself to not eat. But then again, as usual, like every single time, I ate one slice, then two, then three, then chips, then other snacks. I went home and was hungry, ate gain. I tracked everything. I reached 6000 calories. It's 3500 more than my TDEE, so this means that for the fourth time in 3 months I'll have to delay the end of the cut AGAIN. 3500 calories = 0,5g/1lbs, and this means additional days of cut. And now Christmas season starts and in the next weeks I have a shit ton of social events where people will bring tons of food and I know I won't be able to control myself. And yet again I'll gain 2/3kg and prolong the cut for other months.

It's been like this since September. Every time I'm close to the goal, prepare mentally to finally switch back to maintenance, but then there are a series of social events where I can't control myself and gain weight and go back to cut. I'm going crazy! Has anyone experienced the same? Any advices?

Struggling with balance after losing a lot of weight need advice

Hey everyone. I lost a significant amount of weight over the past months and after I reached a weight I was happy with, I stabilized for a while. But recently I’ve been eating pretty recklessly some days I eat a lot, some days barely anything, and I can’t seem to find a consistent rhythm anymore.

I still want to continue losing weight, but I feel like I’ve lost the balance and discipline I used to have. I’m not bingeing, but I’m also not eating mindfully, and I can’t figure out how to get back into a steady routine without going back to extreme dieting and going back to my calorie deficit.

Has anyone gone through this phase? How did you regain control without slipping into restriction or obsession again? Any tips for stabilizing your eating habits and restarting weight loss after maintenance?

I’d really appreciate any advice or shared experiences.
