I can feel my tailbone now when sitting now.

Hello everyone,

I've noticed today while sitting on the floor that I was sitting directly on my tailbone. The "bone" moves with my spine when moving.

It feels big and doesn't feel like a cyst or independent growth, it genuinely feels like a bone and it's in the shape of the tailbone.
Maybe this is inflamed? There is no pain, l've been touching it a lot, so I can just feel it there, it's not uncomfortable.

I pulled a muscle in my back three weeks ago when running and I was out injured for three weeks. I've been on a weight loss journey for 4 months and the answer I'm getting is that there could be less cushion in that area? I'm down about 20lbs. I was 205 and I'm now down to 185. My first run was today and it was comfortable. During this three week period, I felt a lot of muscle loss.

I'm not having any other issues other than teeling the bone, I don't feel it when my posture is good and I did not notice this until I sat on hard floor.
Has anyone had this issue or have any idea what it could be?

Is this connected with my weight loss!m? I know you can’t say, but I’ve arranged a GP appointment in the meantime.

Thank you,

my food noise is completely gone

i have lost 70 pounds naturally over the past 7ish months. my weight loss journey over the past decade or so has been a rollercoaster; i have cycled between 250-210 for years in a constant cycle of losing and gaining mostly because of my struggles with food noise.

my abusive parents died from cancer last year and i think that it’s the reason why i have had 0 food noise. i’m happier, i live alone, i provide for myself and i am so happy with my life now. i used to be sad every single day and the only thing that brought me joy was food. i used to plan out massive amounts of food days in advance and order 5 sandwiches with 2 large fries on doordash. now, there are so many things in my life that bring me joy and i eat normal portions! i had hobbies and things that i enjoyed back when my parents were alive but now they are dead i feel like i am finally free.

my appetite has been smaller and i’m not reaching for comfort foods like i used to. i didn’t weigh myself from december 2025-april 2026,and in that time i’d lost 40 pounds without even trying because i was just a happier person. from april to now, by focusing just a little more on weight loss, i’ve lost another 30 and am finally under 200 pounds for the first time since 2019.

i know this probably isn’t the problem for everyone, but i realized that food was a very big part of my life when it didn’t need to be my main source of happiness and since then my weight loss and staying in a deficit has been easy!!! i hope it helps someone at least!!

tl;dr: find joy in your life & decenter food so that your life makes you happier than food does!

I lost 60 pounds and hit a 2 month plateau. Trying not to be too hard on myself

I began at 5 feet 8, 230 pounds in february. I went on to get down to 170 pounds in august than hit a wall due to being put on antipsychotic medications. It makes me constantly hungry and slows my metabolism. I proceeded to gain back 6 pounds in august and first half of September and took me the back end of the month and beginning of October to lose back half of that.

I know losing weight is not a straight line, but its so hard not to be frustrated with the situation since its the first set back ive had since being on this weight loss journey.

Weight loss app

I need an app to help me with weight loss. Either a game, or something that has you checking in with tasks every day. Preferably free or very low cost

I already track with lose it but fall off pretty regularly. I am looking for something that requires more input/attention. Whether that is rewards or things you have to do every day, etc.

I know the basics of weight loss but I just can't do it consistently 😭. The answer is obvious - just do it. But I feel like what I'm looking for would be really beneficial to me.

Confused at the pace of weight loss

I (32F) stepped on the scale today and was shocked to see that I had lost 15 lbs since the start of my weight loss journey 13.5 weeks ago. I started at 180, and today it read 165!!! My nutritionist put me on a 1500 cal/day goal, which I sort of followed inconsistently, but always managed to even out at the end of every week. (I travel a ton and it's really hard to be consistent sometimes.)

For so long, I was stuck around 175, and then for weeks I was oscillating between 172-175--I mean basically 6 whole weeks I just kept going up and down between these two weights. I noticed that my period would cause me to plateau, and then my exercising also seemed like it wasn't making any difference at all.

Then, suddenly, in the past two weeks, I dropped to 169 and then this morning, 165...how is that possible? I have not been starving myself. I guess I've been traveling a little less recently, and I've been able to keep consistent with exercise, but I don't exercise that much.

Does the body sometimes just hit a point where the weight starts dropping off super fast after months of relatively the same eating habits for some reason?

Should I lose the weight?

20 F 178cm and 90kg

For starters, let me preface this by saying that yes, I do have a history of disordered eating and have for most of my life. I've done treatment for many years but all the way throughout I still struggled with the idea of being the weight am. I now consider myself recovered as ,mentally, I don't experience the same level of turmoil that I used to but I still I want to lose at least 10-20kg or until I look or feel better in my body.

I want to see if losing weight will help my physical health problems as I'm dealing with several severe chronic illnesses and have high genetic cholesterol for which I'm on statins. Unfortunately, one of my chronic illnesses makes me ill the more physical activity I do so I am mostly sedentary as doing too much can make me bedbound. I used to love being able to work out or go on walks but I just can't anymore and I'm a wheelchair user which upsets me. I also have pcos/pmos which I also think is a huge barrier in losing weight for me as I've really tried everything; when I was able to be more active managed to lose.

I'm struggling with eating in general. I know it's a comfort thing and I stim (I'm autistic) by eating different textures. I'd say, depending on the day and how I feel, I eat anywhere from 1000 to 2700 calories a day but I don't really count. I tend to only eat one big meal in the evening consisting of whatever is easily accessible to me when my symptoms aren't too heavy, usually beige foods or salmon with roasted veg I've pre-portioned and frozen. I also snack though I'm trying to reduce it buy not buying them anyway but I end up spiralling and buying them anyway. Then it becomes a case of I have to eat them all now so I don't eat it later. My usual snacks are popcorn, salt and vinegar crisps and crackers. I'm trying to have them in moderation by allowing myself a small snack plate in the evening so I'm not completely excluding them from my diet.

I sometimes go long periods of fasting and curb my appetite by drinking coffee and tea and I actually enjoy fasting when my mind isn't so honed in on food. I want to do more fasting but it really flares up my chronic illness symptoms so I have to stop before I feel more ill.

I feel like I don't know how to properly engage with weight loss healthily as so much of my behaviour is determined by my previous eating disorder behaviours. I know what methods work really well but they almost killed me and I don't want to go through that again but weight loss in general feels like a slippery slope back to relapse.

I want to lose weight for my sense of self. I want to be okay with what I see in the mirror. I've been overweight for most of my life and I've been 90kg for years at this point. I just want to get down to 70, maybe even 60 and see how I feel.

I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't even pursue weight loss due to how my brain is.

Be honest with me but be nice, any comments are welcome. What do you think I should or could do to help myself?

Redditors who felt their weight loss was much slower than it should have been, what did you eventually discover you were doing wrong that solved the problem?

So we’ve all been there. Weight loss is going much slower than you want, but more importantly, much slower than it should be.

“Stick with it and keep going” is probably the most common advice, but for those of you who eventually figured out what was actually wrong, what was it and how did you fix it?

For example, maybe you think that Starbucks coffee is only 100 calories, but then you realize you were looking at the wrong nutrition line on the website and it’s actually 600 calories. Suddenly, you understand why your weight hasn’t moved for the past month.

So what was it for you? A misunderstanding? Incorrect labeling? A medical condition? A scale with a dying battery?
