I can never lose weight

hello!
Im 17F and currently on summer vacations. my whole life i’ve been Fat and i have always had unhealthy eating habits and a problem of binging foods along with not being very active.

Over the years I’ve tried counting calories and going to the gym but I’ve just never stayed consistent with it, quitting a couple of weeks in because i have no willpower. I really don’t want to spend any more of my life and I really wanna lose the weight but i can never do it

I will be getting a proper gym membership this July so Im hoping that helps but Im not very optimistic due to my many failures.I’m looking for advice and tips on how to stay consistent during weight loss and how to deal with cravings as thats what mainly causes me to fail

Currently my height is 5 feet 4inches
and my weight is 183 lbs
my dream weight is 120-130lbs

Walking pace and exercise

Today I hit 11 min/km through 10,7 km, 119 kg/178 cm, I was reading somewhere that 6km/hour should be max speed, because of injuries. I can definitely walk faster, should I tho?

I do not want to run because of knee stress, I walk with 1 leg on floor always, power-ish walking- true power walking can reach like 10 km/hour + and I cannot find fat people walking like that anywhere so I am not really sure about my goal, I am better at it with every step I take.

I also want to go down to like 7,5 km evening walk and buy a gym membership for body strength, if it will be possible, otherwise just because of the hot sun making impossible to walk with sunscreen on (i sweat a lot and the sunscreen washes away in 1st 10 mins) what workouts should I focus on for weight loss? Right now, never actually visited gym, I am thinking of a bit of walking for warm up then some squats, girl pushups and rowing, finish with stretching.

So proud of myself!! I’ve lost 10.6 lbs so far

So I started my weight loss journey the beginning of May. I had been not taking care of myself, drinking too much alcohol, drinking several sodas a day, eating out all the time. And I suddenly realized I had gained 30 pounds!

So I decided I needed to change that and get back on track and get my confidence back! I started tracking my calories and increasing my movement and I’m down from 144.4 to 133.8 as of this morning! I couldn’t be happier, my clothes are starting to fit better and my confidence is coming back. I don’t really have anyone to share my excitement with so thought I would share here!

I’ve given up with weight loss and I have just accepted being fat.

Hi all,

I’ve been overweight all of my adult life. I am 5”1 and weight 12 stone 12. I’ve always struggled with my weight have tried all of the slimming clubs and all of the diets going. Haven’t tried the jabs.

I don’t know what to do next , I just feel like I should just deal with the way I am , no matter how hard I try I just can’t lose the weight.

I lost weight when I was 18 but I lost two stone and then I put it back on within 2 years.

My highest weight was 13 stone 4 but I went down to 12 stone 12 in a year which isn’t good, this was done with a weight loss group.

Sorry for the rant, just feel like giving up and accepting it.

I'm terrified of gaining weight again

I was weighting around 77kg [I'm 166cm/ 5'5 tall] last year and lost 14kg in a few months because of a side effects from a medication I took for my mental health and prior to this unexpected weight loss I had always wanted to lose weight and now that I did, I'm terrified of gaining even a few grams, I can't help but go on the scale everyday to check if I'm still in the 62-63kg range or lower, whenever I get over 63.10kg I get so anxious and I spiral in some emotional state that I hate and end up not wanting to eat even if i'm starving, I want to eat but I'm just so scared of gaining weight again that now I don't even know if it's actually hunger, glutony or if I'm just frustrated of not eating at the usual time I eat everyday, it annoying and I hate this feeling, I genuinely have no idea how to change this.

I have been depressed for years and getting out of bed is already hard, I know I should be exercising more but I have no motivation even if I try, I did manage to start drinking more water lately but I feel like it doesn't change a thing, there's always sugary snacks and drinks around and I do try my best to not binge eat all of it, I don't but then I'm frustrated.

I need tips.

feeling crazy, does my deficit make sense for me?

i’ve (F26 165 lbs cw, 175lbs sw) been eating in a deficit since about march i think? i use an app called “lose it!” to track my calories. i’m 5’3” and quite sedentary so they only give me 1406 to eat on weekdays and about 1667 on weekends. every time i mention this to anyone they tell me that i’m eating insanely low and that there’s no possible way that’s my deficit. i’ve used a calorie counting app to figure out my deficit and it’s literally the same as the app says, why is everyone acting like i’m horrendously under eating? i’m short and don’t workout often.

it has been incredibly hard to make changes and eat within this deficit, i’m def more used to eating between 1700-2000 cals depending on the day. but ive been working to make changes to how i eat (egg whites only instead of egg yolks, only having matcha lattes once a week instead of daily and drinking more water) and i’ve finally managed to eat within my deficit for the last two weeks. i’ve lost 10 pounds & i feel good about my progress so far.

but i hate being talked down to by others that i’m not eating enough or i’m not eating the right things, it’s making me feel crazy. both my dad and my sister ridiculed me for deciding to only eat egg whites, but just that one change drastically changed the cals of my breakfast and made it easier to eat in a deficit. my breakfasts are 40g of protein now with that change and the whites are 68 cals instead of full eggs being 140.

it’s just been a little discouraging to have people tell me i’m doing things wrong but i’m noticing my measurements getting smaller and the number on the scale getting smaller so i must be doing something right. sorry this was a bit of a vent post but i also want advice from people actively working on weight loss, are these people right and this isn’t a sustainable way to be eating? i’ll never go under 1200 cals but i’m just doing what my weight loss app tells me :/

Tips on getting past the stall?

Summary of where I was and where I am now:

Sex: Male
Age: 31
Height: 5’ 11”
Starting weight: 281 (Feb 28)
Current weight: 232
30 day avg cal intake: 2000-2300
Daily protein intake: 180-220g
Supplements: creatine, supergreens, collagen peptides
30 day step count: 12,000
30 day resting calorie burn average: 2445
30 day active calorie burn average: 1100
30 day average walking+running: 7.01 miles
30 day average workout time: 1hr 20 minutes

March weight loss: 281 to 256
Average calorie intake 1300
10k steps, no weight lifting

April weight loss: 256 to 241
Average calories 1300
10k steps, no weight lifting

May weight loss: 241 to 236
16k steps introduced weightlifting training 5-7 days per week
Average calories 1800 - 2000
Completed 2 5k runs.
Started creatine mid May.

I injured my knee from running last week of May. While recovering I reduced steps to 10k through the first week of June. Maintained 2000 calories. Continued daily gym sessions focusing on strength training and upper body over cardio for that time.

I recovered and went back to daily cardio and strength training by week 2 of June. Day usually starts at the gym with 2-3 muscle groups combining machines and free weights, sets to failure, minimum 60 minutes. Then 30-60 minutes walking on a 13 degree incline at 3-3.5mph. I end the workout with 12 minutes on a vibrating plate in a red light booth. 1-2 mile walk on my lunch break. And 2-3 times a week I will do a 3 mile circuit power walk after work.

The problem:

Ever since recovering from the knee injury and being back to full intensity workouts my current weight just keeps floating between 232 and 234. I feel like I’m still visibly shrinking and my clothes are feeling looser around my waist every few days but the weight isn’t dropping at all.

I know what I lost weight freakishly fast the first couple months so I expected it to slow down dramatically when I started doing it correctly, but I didn’t expect it to slow to a crawl.

I don’t feel like I need to cut my calories any further; even if we say my TDEE is off by ~500 and I’m underestimating my calorie intake by ~500, which I’m not, I would still be in a calorie deficit at my activity level. I’ve been on creatine for over a month now so I should be past the loading phase. And surely I’m gaining muscle with how much I’m lifting, but I cannot imagine I’m gaining it at the same rate I’m losing fat.

Is this normal? I felt like I was on a roll; and although it’s not taking away my motivation. It’s still frustrating nonetheless.
