I'm so proud of my weight loss but nobody's noticed it

To be fair I've only lost 20 pounds (5'6 female, started at 153 lbs now at 133 lbs), but I've never been able to lose weight before and I'm really proud of myself! I've been sticking with calorie counting and walking since September and have had really good, steady success. Turns out they were right all along, it was all about eating less and moving more. I haven't told anyone about my intentionally losing weight, and I always hide my calorie counting app like it's a secret. But the changes to my body must be at least a little noticeable? So I'm surprised that not even my family, close friends, or nosy coworkers have said anything. Anyway, I never thought I'd see the day that I was offended by people being respectful and not commenting on my body lmao. But I guess I'm just feeling kind of alone in my accomplishments now, which makes me sad. How do you strike a balance between not inviting people to monitor your body and eating, and sharing your weight loss successes? It's definitely a weird spot to be!

Did losing weight make a significant difference to your face/facial attractiveness?

I (23F) have been chubby most of my life. I’m inactive, I mostly don’t leave the house and I binge eat so it’s entirely my fault. I’m actually at the lightest weight I have been since growth stopped (~55kg ish at 5’1) and within ‘normal’ BMI but likely due to lack of muscle it all goes to my stomach, thighs, upper arms and face and I feel frumpy.

I know it’s silly to say but I’ll confess: the reason why I’ve never really bothered with watching my weight or what I eat is that I’m facially ugly anyways. I won’t get into details, but I’ve actively avoided cameras since I was 11, been a shut in for most of my teens and young adulthood and I can hardly even look at myself in the mirror because my face just looks off and it makes me spiral. So I’m not motivated at all to lose anything as I think I’d be ugly even if I was skinny, and I’d have to part with the junk food that has given me comfort and helped me cope with that all this time so it’s just a toxic cycle.

I’ve seen a ton of very pretty chubby women, so I think it’s just my face. But I’ve also seen some drastic before and afters where even peoples faces look entirely different after weight loss. What has been your experience?

New to the community, and new to weightloss

Hi I'm new here and new to weight loss in general.

Just wanted to introduce myself and share my journey so far.

I decided it was time to try make a real effort to improve my body and mind just before Christmas 2025. I started at 100kg on December 20th. I've been eating in a calorie deficit of around -400 to -700 a day based on my TDEE and I've managed to really commit to an exercise routine that is working for me. I try to eat more calories on walk days as sometimes I get light headed or dizzy when my intake is lower on exercise days.

I walk 5kms Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Friday, so 4 days a week. And I've just started adding into my routine on a wednesday and a Saturday beginner strength training routines with 1kg weights. Yesterday was leg day and boy do my thighs ache today 💀

I don't measure often or weigh myself daily. I did initially but I found that it was actually making me more anxious about it and changed to weekly weigh ins and bi weekly measurements.

last Friday I had lost a total of 8.5kg, that's about 18lbs, where i'd been sat at for a couple of weeks, and I have my weigh in tomorrow to see if it's started to shed again.

I measured myself today, and I've lost several inches all over from my last measurements so that makes me super happy even when the scales haven't moved for a while.

It's still a process and my goal weight is somewhere arround 65kg so there's a good way to go yet, but I wanted to share my excitement that something is actually working for me.

Trying to Lose Weight During Ramadan: 6x Gym, High Protein, Big Calorie Deficit – Sustainable?

Male, 21 years old, 6'2" tall (188 cm), currently weighing 113 kg (249 lbs). I started 20 days ago at 120 kg (265 lbs). I go to the gym 6 times a week, working out for 1.5 hours each session, following a large calorie deficit, with high protein intake and very low carb carbs. Right now, during Ramadan, I’m eating only two meals iftar and sehri. Before gym, I have 250 grams of chicken with two boiled egg whites and 3 tbsp cooked white rice , and after gym during sehri, I have 250 grams of chicken with three egg whites along with 3tbsp of cooked white rice totaling my both meal to 5 egg white? 500g chicken, 6tbsp rice. This brings my total protein intake to approximately 170–180 grams. My question to those who have already done weight loss like this: is this sustainable? Since my goal is to reach atleast 80kgs (176lbs)

And yea I've ordered protien powder with 120kcal per scoop and 25g protien. Imma take 2 of that scoop bringing my protien to total of 220-230gs.

Did anyone else get worse inflammation when going through drastic weight change?

I had normal allergies and eczema which subsided for multiple years but I was around 30kg overweight, when I started to lose weight drastically I thought it would decrease my inflammation since I was eating healthier and everything, I have less brainfog now but during the weight loss my eczema flared up, I had constant inflammation and worse allergies until I had a stable non fluctuating weight for atleast a couple months.
Is this a normal phenomenon or was my inflammation probably just an external factor that happened during the same time.

Need encouragement and tips for staying motivated to lose weight

I’m 22F at 325 pounds, and I just feel so uncomfortable with my body and weight, but whenever I’m stressed or overwhelmed I instantly start binge eating. Because of this, it’s so hard for me to stay motivated to continue a weight loss journey, cause every time I have a bad day I just spiral and ruin all my progress. But this time, I really want to make it work for me. I’m hoping that reaching out to a community will help encourage me to continue even on my bad days. Any tips to help me stay motivated would be such a big help!

New to Weight Loss, is This Normal?

Hi! I'm about a month and a half into my first serious attempt to lose weight and while I'm seeing progress, I've noticed a pattern that's been bothering me. I keep weighing it at exactly the same weight down to the tenth of a pound four, five, even six days in a row, before suddenly jumping down 2+ lbs at once.

I realize some fluctuation is normal and water weight is a thing but it has me feeling like I can't trust my scale because surely the decrease in weight should be more gradual.

Anyway, just wanted to ask if this is a normal part of the experience.
