Endless cycle of weight loss and gain

Was hoping some of you would have some experience with this and could give me some advice! During COVID, I went from 130 pounds to 190 within less than 3 years. I'm finally doing the work to try and lose the weight as it was so sudden and has seriously impacted my mental and physical health. I finally found a diet/routine that was working for me and I lost 15 pounds. I try not to weigh myself often as then the progress seems to be less than if I wait a few weeks between stepping on the scale. But I've noticed that when I see I've lost some weight, I get so happy that I end up gaining a lot of it back. The only reason I can think is maybe I end up eating a lot more to subconsciously reward myself and I just haven't realized I'm doing it? For anyone who has experienced this if you have any advice on not slipping at the first sight of progress, or maintaining your weight loss please share with me!!

I keep seeing people talking about how friends/family don't support weight loss, and I'm confused.

I just joined here, and I keep seeing posts about people saying that their family and friends are discouraging their weight loss, even when these people are overweight or obese. I suppose in some cases this could be due to jealousy, but the family and friends seem concerned rather than jealous, and I can't fathom why. As long as a person isn't starving or severely restricting, I don't see an issue. They also seem to take issue with exercise for some reason?

Maybe this is because I'm not from the US, but it makes no sense to me. In my country, you would get congratulated by family and friends for losing weight/working out/eating healthy.

Weight loss journey tips

Hello, I am 26M at 213lbs 5'5 and I started going to the gym twice a day about a week and a half ago. I started my weight loss at around 225 and began counting calories and cutting out alcohol as much as possible. I typically will do about 30 to 40 mins on the treadmill two times a day at an 8 incline and around 3ish mph.

My calorie intake is primarily protein and fat with some carbs, I'm currently taking in about 1,300 calories a day and burning 700 at the gym per the calorie counting function on the machines.

With that being said, any tips, advice, or helpful information on how to burn body fat as quickly as possible?

Mentally drained out during weight loss

Hello my friends. Im currently 115 kgs (i was 145 kg ) 10 months ago. I feel mentally drained out and the scale won't go down even though im in a caloric deficit, i feel sometimes helpless and i don't even see any difference (the difference it's obvious, but my brain has been distorted). In the past when i was 20-22years old i managed to lose 40 kgs (from 123kg to 83) and i lived the life i could never imagine,but shit happens and as an addictive personality during COVID i gained around 60 kgs which i've lost half of them. I just want to lose the weight but i feel so drained and so impatient. Any tips? Much love

Lost weight but I don’t look any different.

I’m a 27-year-old woman, standing at 5’1”, and I’ve been on this weight loss journey since the start of December. I’ve managed to drop about 10 pounds, moving from somewhere around 125lbs down to 112lbs. But here’s the kicker – when I look in the mirror, I don’t really see any of those changes. My belly seems to be sticking around, and all my clothes fit just as they did before. It’s kind of frustrating, honestly. I’m shooting for a goal weight of 110lbs, but now I’m starting to second-guess my approach. I’m getting a little worried that maybe I’m losing more muscle than fat. I mean, shouldn’t there be some visible changes by now?

Has anyone else experienced something like this? I could really use some advice or insights. I’m thinking, maybe I need to up my game in the gym, you know, focus more on weightlifting to build some muscle. Or perhaps it’s about adjusting my diet – like increasing my protein intake to help with muscle maintenance? I’m just not sure what’s the best move here. If anyone’s got tips or has been through a similar situation, I’d love to hear what worked for you. Just trying to figure out how to make this weight loss journey a bit more effective and, well, noticeable!

Do I count calories right?

Hey :) So I recently started counting calories. I googled my calorie day norm, and it says that I should eat 2000 calories per day to loose weight.

I weight 125kg (250lbs?) and my height is 163cm (have no idea how many inches, but I'm short). I'm pretty active, I go to gym everyday and burn around 300calories. But still.. this day norm just doesn't feel right. I'm not sure that I'm going to loose much if I eat like that, you know.

I've lost some weight in the past (and gained it back), but I always ate so little while weight loss. Ane today I ate pizza for dinner and I still have 400calories left, like if I have one more slice it won't even get worse, it'll be fine. And it's just so unusual, I don't trust all this system😭 please help, is everything all right? It doesn't seem like weight loss, I'm not hungry...

Advice on Biopreventative’s Semaglutide Weight Loss?

Just signed up today with Biopreventative I have a doc appointment in two weeks to follow up on his Semaglutide I’ve been on for 10 weeks.

I’m looking for some advice on Biopreventative - a telehealth provider that offers personalized weight loss plans based on your genetics, hormones, and lifestyle (Similar to Henry Meds).

I just signed up today with Biopreventative and I’m wondering how it works and what to expect. I have a doctor appointment in two weeks to follow up on his Semaglutide prescription that I’ve been on for 10 weeks. But I haven’t seen much results from Semaglutide so far. I’ve only lost a few pounds and I still struggle with my appetite. I’m hoping that Biopreventative can help me find a better solution for my weight loss goals.

Has anyone tried Biopreventative and can share their experience? I would really appreciate it.

PS: I’m asking because I have a personal history of obesity and diabetes in my family, and I want to avoid the health risks that come with it. I’ve tried many diets and programs before, but nothing has worked for me long-term. I’m looking for something that can help me change my lifestyle and habits for good.
