New Cloths

Any advice on when to buy new clothing? I've lost 20 pounds while putting on muscle, so my waistline has shrunk more than a normal 20 weight loss for me. I have this crazy idea that I can do another 20. If I can do that, I'll be high-school thin. My jeans are getting a little loose, but not too bad yet, but my body is shifting pretty quickly.

I've lost plenty of weight plenty of times, but I've always had smaller pants in the back of my closet and it looks like that won't be the case this time.

I don't want to buy too early and have to go buy some more.

Edit, I'm sure we all know i am speaking of clothing, not cloths.

Been doing carnivore and keto thinking of switching to a normal diet.

Been doing keto and some days carnivore I've dropped 100+ pounds still have 60-80 to go. Thing is recently I've been feeling like a zombie. I wake up drained like I haven't slept and the brain fog is crazy because of this. I'm trying to study and I can't retain any information.

This started happening 4-5 months ago I'm tired of it thought it would get better. Just wondering for only the people that have done long term keto or carnivore and switched back how long did it take for your body to adjust if it did take any time at all? Also any side effects when switching high glucose blood pressure etc?

Since starting keto carnivore my blood pressure and blood sugar have dropped dramatically which is pretty much the only plus besides the weight loss.

How to lose 200+lbs for real, without weight loss surgery. Need advice from people who've personally done it.

I'm F/32/450lbs. A lot of factors play the part of my weight. I'm a pc gamer, and I work from home, and I like to eat crappy food that I can get instantly. I know the umbrella idea for weight loss is "eat less, eat in a deficient" which I get.

But I want to hear from people who have been my weight or more, who were able to make lifestyle changes, and lose the weight. I want to hear realistic stories, realistic tips, realistic workout routines for beginning the journey. I'm sure not every story starts with "One day, I just stopped eating junk and never slipped up again".

Everyday, I tell myself that today's the day, then hours later I'm doing the same crap that got me here. I'm so set in my ways, that I literally forget the things I wanted to do until it's time for bed. I lay in bed and thing "dang, I wanted to work out today. Dang I didn't want to order food today. etc".

I just need a little inspiration, or resources, or tips that have worked for others.

I need advice to lose weight

I just turned 30 and I’m getting really frustrated with my weight loss journey. Losing weight will help control medical conditions I’ve been diagnosed with but I can’t seem to find help on how to get there.

For clarification I have POTS and Insulin resistant PCOS. I’ve heard GLP-1s can be helpful with PCOS weight loss but it has a dangerous effect on POTS symptoms. I have tried diet and exercise for years and I lose 10-15 lbs before it stops completely, and not like a plateau stops, but stuck at that weight for months on end as I’m furiously tracking my calories and making sure I’m getting in exercise and that number refuses to go down.

Can anyone else relate to this? What advice can you offer? I just want to be healthy again.

5’7”-F-220lbs-15m postpartum-25 years old

Okay, so I used to struggle with eating disorders and was 100-110lbs a few years ago.

I realized finally how unhealthy I was during an Easter event where we did family photos and I could see all of my bones protruding out. That was the day I realized the mirror and my brain had been lying to me. I decided to gain weight.

It was difficult emotionally but I did gain weight. Not healthily, though. In my mind, if you want to gain weight, you eat more. So I’d eat until I was full to bursting. I got to 150 and still wasn’t happy. So I continued. I got to 170-180 and was happy with my appearance.

It won’t let me post photos (otherwise I was going to post my current “before” photos) but weight has always gone to my stomach last as I have an hourglass figure. I also did construction and worked on vehicles on the side, so I was able to balance at 170-180 for a while despite it being difficult to stop eating now. Went from one extreme to the next.

I did slowly start to gain weight once I stopped construction and ended up at 210, and then got pregnant. I had a high risk pregnancy and by the end I was 245lbs.

1 month postpartum I dropped to 200lbs, but honestly only because I was breastfeeding as well as neglecting myself. I wasn’t eating much at all and my first priority was just taking care of my little girl.

Over the last 6 months, I’ve gained back to 220. I can really see it in my arms (always been self conscious about them) and in my face and stomach now. I want to lose weight healthily. I did find out last month that I have hypothyroidism and also have to get tested for hashimotos (family history).

I’ve since started medication and also going on 30-60 minute walks 3-5 days a week. Just within this last week, I started also going to my apartment gym, because the walks weren’t cutting it for me anymore. They have weighted balls, dumbbells, an elliptical, bike machine, and a machine that’s meant to work out the entire body with adjustable weight levels.

I’ve been going on the elliptical for 10 minutes, working out my arms with the machine and dumbbells, doing some squats, and ending with 10 minutes on the fat burn cycle of the bike machine.

I have for the most part stopped snacking or binge eating and am trying to incorporate healthier foods into my diet.

Are there any recommendations y’all have for losing weight and workouts to do?

I really want to tone my body, especially arms, stomach, and legs, while losing the weight to 180 (40lb weight loss goal)

Im not purchasing a scale because I don’t want to become obsessed with it again, but I am taking photos and checking in on how I FEEL and look instead with weight checks periodically at my doctors office.

Suggestion for calorie counter app?

Hi all, I'm starting a huge weight loss journey (I need to lose like 40kg) and I am looking for suggestions for a good app for tracking calories?

I used to use yazio when I lost weight before, but now it has so many ads and takes like 10min to be able to track the meals and the annoyance makes me not track at all.

Any good suggestions? Preferable something where I can add myself, I don't like the ones where you take pictures of meals as the calories are not accurate imho. Also a + if you can track the weight and bmi in the app :)

Starting weight: ~280lbs Current: 233 lbs Goal: 200

34 years old, male. i essentially crash dieted for 2 months and now trying to fix what i have done. i am very dedicated very disciplined. i quit drinking in april 2025. starting dieting in october and was eating roughly 1k-1200 calories a day. november i started TRT. for a month now weight training consistently and i eat pretty clean, but also not enough. i have been stuck at 233 for like 2-3 weeks. i know the answer is i need more calories and protein but my brain is telling me less food equals weight loss. i was 198 lbs and stacked about 10 years ago but life happened and i let myself go. now im trying to relearn everything and im just lost. is 2200 calories a day with 190g protein efficient and will i continue to lose weight?
