What are your thoughts on juicing?

I have a friend who swears by juicing as a meal replacement to cut calories.

She says it helps her lose weight and cut fat, and she's not concerned about sugar intake as much as she is with cutting calories in general.

I want to know people's thoughts on this. I don't really think it is a safe or sustainable option myself but it's working for her and I have to lose some weight by March to help make my wedding dress alterations easier. Not much, the dress fits almost perfectly but there's a lot of dimpling in the fabric that would be eased by weight loss.

So far, I have tried focusing on water intake, being mindful of portions, snacking etc. I think I do so much better than I used to on physical activity. I go to the gym usually every other day and I never skip more than 2 days. Even with help from the Mayo Clinic Diet since August, I've only lost 3 lbs and I canceled that diet plan because of cost.

What am I missing? Is there a strategy I'm not thinking of for better weight loss results? Does anyone here actually like juicing?

Skin feels softer and looser- Am I actually losing fat?

I started off my somewhat serious weight loss journey at I think around fall last year at 320-ish lbs (26 F, heavily symptomatic of PCOS, sedentary but have been more careful when it comes to a balanced diet). While I don't THINK I actually lost enough weight to tell a massive difference quite yet, I definetely feel like my skin is a little looser and not as tight. My lower stomach especially has been sagging and I can pick it up and slap it on a desk like bongos LMAO. It's not so loose that it's LOOSE skin, but enough that it feels like the subcutaneous fat isn't as firm and can be quite jiggly. If I move the skin around, I can be more flexible in things like picking up socks off the ground without having to bend down on my knees. I also have that on my arms and my thighs are EXTREMELY flabby, although they've always been flabby so I dunno how true it holds with them.

Is this an expected outcome for extensive fat loss, or a symptom of weight GAIN? I don't have a scale with me (Which is good otherwise I would obsess over my weight more than I currently do), but I do plan on getting one later once I feel more of a difference. For now, I'm wearing a 4XL shirt (I normally wear a 3XL) and enjoying fitting nicely in my clothes for once haha.

Need to start over in 2026-- lost myself

Hey everyone! I'm looking to jump back on the weight loss for 2026 (probably like a million others). I have a fairly healthy history of successfully losing weight but regaining it again. This time around, I'd like to lose the weight and keep it off. Here are some things I do already:

1. I calorie count (or am familiar with it)
2. I'm vegetarian
3. I participate in high activity exercise (I'm a runner)
4. I drink plenty of water (roughly 72-128 oz a day)

For reference:

I'm 29, 5'8, 155.2 lbs (70.5 kg) and hoping to lose another 15 pounds (about 6.8 kg).

Is there anything I'm missing? Anything that could help aid me in the process of re-losing weight again?

Thanks!

What are your healthier options you buy that aren’t produce?

I’m starting my weight loss journey again after I put on 40lbs in the last year (thanks a lot, perimenopause). I’m planning on going shopping at Walmart and Costco (in western Canada) over the next week to stock up my fridge and pantry with healthier foods and would love some inspiration. I’m a snacker and I love all things bread based, cheese, sweets etc so if there’s anything out there that’s a healthier alternative which still hits the spot for you, I’m all ears! Thanks and happy new year to you all 😄

losing weight fast then rebuilding vs. losing sustainably

5'4" 20y female. SW 224lbs, GW 120, currently 218.

I’ve received mixed opinions about losing 100 lbs quickly versus taking a more sustainable approach. Some people say that it’s better to lose the weight as fast as possible to get it off, then focus on maintenance and building long-term habits. Others believe it’s better to lose weight slowly to avoid regaining it.

I’m not new to weight loss, but it’s been a while. I know that I can lose weight quickly, but I also know I can gain it back just as fast. I’m currently in university, and I’m able to stick to a routine that includes working out and eating in a calorie deficit.

Ultimately, I’m looking for advice because I would really like to reach my goal weight by October 2026.

Losing Motivation

Hi everyone! I have a couple of questions regarding weight loss, as unfortunately I’ve recently lost motivation to do so. I went from 250 to 220 on a 1600 calorie deficit as a 21 year old male, but after two months the weight loss slowed. I kept hearing about metabolic resets and was told to eat normally for a while, but now I’m back up to 235. Im not over eating and not eating lots of processed foods, just more calories. I guess question is, are metabolic resets a real thing, and why did my weight loss slowed so much? I know that you stop fast from water weight but 30 lbs seems like a lot for that lol. I also know I should be doing weight training, but honestly don’t know how. I have 20 and 25lb dumbbells at home, since I’m too busy with full time work and grad school to go to the gym. Any advice would be great, thank you!
