Not losing weight

hello , I'm a 19 yr old female , 166 cm , weighing 63 kgs , I want to lose 6 kg of fat , i searched about my maintenance calories online and found out i should be eating 1450 calories to be in a deficit and i have been doing that , I eat 70-80 grams of protein and 20-30 grams of fiber daily and mostly whole foods , sometimes i have cheat days but that's like once or twice a month . It has been 2 months now and I haven't even lost a kilogram, even the measurements on my body are the same . I don't workout much , i workout once or twice a week but I maintain my calorie deficit , what should I do to lose weight faster? should I eat lesser calories or workout more often??

also I want to mention that a year ago I went into depression and didn't eat much for weeks and lost 16 kgs. Is that perhaps affecting my current weight loss journey?

my legs hurt when I run, what can I do

I'm 24F and just started running for health and weight loss reasons. I want to build my stamina but I'm a little overweight with flat feet. I try to run for a couple minutes and then walk for a few minutes, but even from the very beginning it hurts my shins. after a while I have to walk for an extended amount of time because even if I don't feel tired and can keep going, my shins, knees and eventually my feet start getting really tired after a while. I already got running shoes to support my feet a little more but what can I wear on my shins and knees to keep them from hurting?

Im so MAD at myself

so basically im pretty mad at myself I have genuinely lost so much weight like 100+ lbs

with 40 lbs remaining. losing the rest of the weight is proving hard because of one reason and one reason only. A L C O H O L. legit the only thing standing in between me and 175-180lbs is booze its honestly annoying and exhausting. I know what it is I have to do, I know how to cut, I know how to do good in the gym but this is frustrating because I have to literally evaluate my relationship with alcohol. See, I come from an interesting family my father is Yoruba (Nigerian) comes from a line of alcoholics. My mother is African American and Native American, comes from a line of alcoholics. Everyone in my family drinks. I get home? Younger brother is buzzed, older sister is buzzed Mom is buzzed. Dad is at work (we work at the same company hes in management but I work on the ramp at the airport) but when pops gets home? He's buzzed. So ive have bouts of sobriety I went 60 days once but its so hard because someone in my family will ask "Hey, want a shot?" its so fucking hard, because I want this weight gone Ive worked hard and I have gone so far. I have no clue what to do and I'm at a lost of words as to what I can do. I know I have the strength to get the job done. But its such a tough battle, I have no clue where to begin. I'm also even more discouraged because considering my family history this alcohol addiction might literally be in my blood at this point. I appreciate this subreddit it helped me so much seeing everyone posts and motivational stories about getting the fat off. Some days I feel genuinely defeated because of booze a little bottle that I've allowed to keep me from what it is that I want and the person I want to be. Those of you that have struggled with alcohol becoming a road block in weight loss, what did you do? Do you have any tips, and if you do what did you do to help yourself get to the goal that you desperately wanted?

What small things can make this process suck less?

F18 5’6”, lost 25 pounds (from 185) in 2024 but have slowly regained 15 in the two years. I’m incredibly ashamed that I never actually reached my goal weight and even more ashamed that I have to play the weight loss game again. Getting closer to my goal is so difficult because I have to ramp up the intensity of my diet and exercise to get those last few pounds off, and I’m never able to convince myself to worsen and maintain the already unpleasant experience.

All I ever think about is what I’m going to eat and when I get to eat next. I’m always hungry — my stomach growls loud as fuck and it’s embarrassing. I’m currently 170 pounds and all I need to do is lose 15-20 more pounds. It’s going to take several months, but I don’t know if I’m mentally strong enough for this. I’m already depressed without the weight loss added in!

I’m sure we can all agree that this shit sucks and is a hard mental and physical task. What do you do to make it suck less, or to convince yourself that it doesn’t suck? “Seeing results” is not really what I’m looking for, that’s a more long-term thing — I mean something that is able to be done or encountered every day. Just tiny stuff to make it better, or to at least make you think it’s better than it is.

I Keep Messing Up My Weight Loss – Need Help

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. I have been on a weight loss journey for several years and I just keep messing up no matter how bad I want it. I find myself making the same mistakes over and over again, no matter what I do.

I often skip tracking my calories, telling myself that one snack doesn’t count. I eat healthy throughout the day, but end up eating plenty of chocolate, ice cream, and pizza after supper than what I planned on doing for my portions. I also find myself skipping workouts when I’m tired or stressed. Most importantly, I tend to focus way too much on the scale and not enough on my small victories.

I’m in a vicious cycle where my weight goes up and down but never changes, and I can’t figure out how to break out of it. Has anyone experienced this? What did you do to get it together and see progress? I could really use some tips!

Home workout programs that are easier in intensity than Chloe ting

hello, I'm 18 years old and weigh 82 kgs. I know the basics of it all strength training to increase stamina, cardio to facilitate weight loss and calorie deficit to actually lose it all.

I have a treadmill I do at least 45 mins fast-walking in it for cardio (trying to make it regular) eating gut healthy foods like dahi or yogurt, apples and cucumber nd whatnot with my regular meals as well as trying to cut down on dinner.

My main concern is that for strength training like for abs, legs and whatnot I m a bit lost on what to do there is so much bad opinion on Chloe ting plus I can't exercise for 1hr+ I need something that can be done under 1hr as i m also a student so time is of the essence for me, also doable (as you can imagine being 82kg as a 5'5 female at the age of 18 is bordering obesity). thankyou for all the recommendations and useful tips you can give me beforehand ^^.

No matter what I do, I can’t lose the last 15 pounds.

SW: 247 CW: 168 - F, 5’11, 30

When I was in my teens, I lost about 60 pounds but over the years I gained it back and some. I finally decided to actually commit to the weight loss for good and I lost 75 pounds between 2021-2023ish (with a little bit of yo-yoing in between). I managed to keep off the weight and recently had 6 pounds of loose skin removed from my stomach!

I still would like to loose another 15-20 pounds but no matter what I do, my weight will not budge. For three months straight, I weighed and tracked every single calorie that I ate and my weight barely dropped. It got to the point that I went and had bloodwork done to rule out any thyroid or other issues (there were no issues). I’m not sure if my metabolism is just shot from all the years of doing random diets or severe calorie deficits from when I was younger.

I started going to the gym in November 5 days a week so figured I may have been slowly putting on muscle mass and that’s why I wasn’t seeing the scale change but I haven’t gone to the gym now for 2 months because of my surgery and the scale still hasn’t gone down 😩

I just would love some advice from any of you that have been stuck with your weight while being in a calorie deficit. What could possibly be my issue and how can I fix it?!

Thank you in advance ❤️
