I swear my body can tell that I’m close to my first goal

My first goal weight is 259lbs. It’s not super ambitious, but I haven’t weighed below 260 since 2021 so my first goal in weight loss has been to get below that.

For the past 6 days, I’ve weighed in at 260.4 lbs. Every. Single. Day. This hasn’t happened yet in the previous 15 lbs I’ve lost so far. It’s like my body knows I’m close and just won’t let me see my weight in the 250s.

I’m not discouraged though. I know I’m doing the right things and it’ll drop any day now. It’s just funny to feel like the scale is playing with my excitement/suspense.

Google Sheets Weight Loss Tracker (lbs,in)

Hey y'all!

I made a weight loss tracker that helps identify your weight trajectory at 2lbs of loss/week, calculates BMR, BMI, TDEE, etc. It includes a graph and a weekly calculator to assist in looking at your weight loss from a bird's-eye view.

Sorry in advance, but all calcs are done in lbs/in.

Feel free to make a copy and make it your own!

It may be a bit too in depth but hey I like more information than less.

Let me know what y'all think!

How to deal with family’s comments after weight loss?

I’ve lost about 77 pounds in a healthy, steady way after a struggling cycle with an eating disorder & recovering. For my entire weight loss journey, I barely go to the gym & only use the treadmill, this makes my body look “soft” & a bit bony? (Prominent collarbone & chest bones but this is entirely due to how my body fat stores). So people comment a lot, especially family and such. My friends love how far I come but my relatives are a different story. They keep commenting on how soft I look & that I need to lift weights, and when I say I don’t want a lean/super toned body and that I’m happy with my body now, they act confused. Sometimes they poke my collarbones & ask if I even eat and comment on my portion sizes. My family on average is bigger, and there’s nothing wrong with that but they don’t have good eating/health habits and don’t commit to losing weight, the only family member who doesn’t negatively talk about my body is my dad who is very healthy & is at a normal weight. It’s just something that I noticed. I’m really happy with how I look now so I try to not think about what others think. Just a slight vent

Can't seem to raise my weekly calorie budget

Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. 39F, I've lost 13 lbs (5.9 kg) over 3 months by using Loseit, which is awesome. I want to lose 7 lbs more, but I'd like to raise my calorie budget from 1 lb. lost per week to 0.5 lbs. Easing myself into maintenance, I guess.

The problem is, every time I change my budget in Loseit, I start gaining weight. I switched to the 0.5 budget and gained a pound in one week. Freaked out, switched back to the 1 lb. budget, lost the pound. Decided to try again, switched back to 0.5 budget and gained 0.8 lbs in a few days.

Up until now my weight loss has been consistent and predictable, so this is really weird. I'm staying within my budget and carefully weighing all my food, just as I was before. Why am I gaining weight in what should be a small deficit? Shouldn't I be at least maintaining my current weight?

Any ideas as to what could be going on?

Regaining weight as a new dad

So as of five months ago, I’ve become a dad. It’s been super great and I’m loving the experience, but it has come with some side-effects. Before becoming a dad, I had a great thing going that led to me losing something like 50 pounds and I found a lifestyle that finally worked for me. I had gotten into a routine of going climbing for 2-3 hours about three times a week, I was going skateboarding for a couple hours on both Saturday and Sunday, and I was sprinkling in some other extra activities here and there like hiking. I went from about 235 down to 185 and it was super awesome and I was super happy with myself. Finding that active lifestyle plus also taking care of myself mentally, I felt like it wasn’t any real work for me to lose weight and I felt so lucky that it felt easy like that.

Now, my schedule has changed quite a bit. Now I’m climbing for about one hour three days a week, I’m not making it out to the skatepark anymore, and I haven’t been out for a hike in a while. I’m cooped up at home a lot more, taking care of my wife and baby and I’ve fallen back into old habits. I think that part of the reason I found weight loss so simple was because I just wasn’t giving myself a chance to be bored and turn to food as a solution. Instead of eating, I was out getting moving. Now I don’t find myself with that kind of freedom and I’m just at home not moving. Also, having a baby has seriously impacted my sleep and I fall into the trap of trying to make up for lost sleep with food. With all of that, I’ve regained about 10 pounds in the last 5/6 months.

I know what worked for me before and I know that I can get back on track, but the number of obstacles in the way of me getting back on track have increased and I’m feeling short on energy and will-power to overcome those obstacles. I don’t know what I can do about it, but I really need to figure something out. I need to figure something out before that 10 pounds turns into more.

Anyone have any advice on what I can do to get past this roadblock?

Struggling not to eat over my calories

Female / 28/ 5ft 8’ SW: 305lbs CW: 286lbs GW:168lbs

My weight loss has been over the span of a year. I got down to 280lbs and then fell off the wagon again and went back up to 296lbs. Started again at the beginning of this year and am definitely having the most success in terms of not seeing a cheat day as the end of the world

I’ve also started exercising properly for the first time ever. But now I’m struggling with the calorie side of things. I was eating around 1,900 calories a day to lose weight. But I have noticed a DRASTIC increase in appetite since I started the gym.

I’d say on average I’m doing 3-4 seasons a week, 35 mins of weight lifting and 10-20mins cardio each time.

I’m seeing a lot of different information in terms of how this affects maintenance and calories and I just don’t know what to change.

Could my deficit go up to 2,300 calories?

Should I not go up at all?

Weight Loss Anxiety?

Hi loseit community, I wanted to ask a question. Does anyone have weight loss anxiety? One of my biggest barriers is first acknowledging how much weight I want to lose to be in a healthy range and then all the worries that come with that. I feel like I’ve been living with a ignorance is bliss, even though I acknowledge and verbalize the need to lose weight. It’s like talking about it is me saying I want to skydive and actually committing to it means jumping off the plane. Also im so worried about loose skin, sagging head to toe, my nipples migrating, acknowledging that my stretch marks will prevent me from having a smooth body. Its like its better never to care than to commit and worry.
