When did the weight start coming off for you?

Hello,

Does anyone experience like no results in the first week or two and then start seeing the results later?

I understand it took a while for me to get overweight and maybe the lack of scale results are because it’s taking my body a couple weeks/months before it adapts into weight loss…?

I feel discouraged when I weight in and don’t see the results of my hard work but I am still going to keep going.

If there are stories people I have of their experiences pls share

I am a female and I do have some metabolic issues that I discovered later on but I have lost weight 4-6 years ago as well so I know it’s not impossible. In my mind I had an unhealthy lifestyle growing up which is what I think accounted for the metabolic issues which I’m working on healing now…so I wonder how long it will take to see my body shift into this new lifestyle and see results.

I think there are a lot of people with similar experiences who’ve experienced weight loss that wasn’t as linear as metabolically healthy people.

Losing weight is so slow and frustrating

I’m not gonna get into too much detail but I’m 21 and struggled with weight my whole life. I’m a 6’3” 270lb male (although I would say I look more like 255lbs maybe 250 because of the way I carry my weight — and that’s not just me talking) but nobody talks about how freaking slow weight loss is and it’s so frustrating.

People love to tell you to “eat less” or “move more” but well that works there’s so many factors to it all and it is a slow process that requires time, effort, energy & consistency. I say all this as I’m starting my weight loss journey up now that I have more of that time and energy to focus on building healthy habits and it’s starting to pay off but it’s still so frustrating that it’s a slow process cause you put in 120% and are given like 10% rewards lol

37 days until Greece!!

I (25F) am leaving for a trip to Greece in 37 days. I have known about my trip since August, and of course, procrastinated trying to lose weight/eat better/tone/etc. I am currently 220 LBS and 5'2. I started the beginning of the year at 230 LBS and lost motivation mid-February. I live in Minnesota, and it is SO HARD to start your weight loss journey when it is dark and cold. I just signed up for OrangeTheory and want to go 4-5 times a week. Food and dieting have always been a struggle for me.

How do I make these next 37 days matter the most so I can feel good (and look good) when I am island hopping in Greece?

Has any of you done any weight loss journey without using the scale?

I know this sounds very stupid but I was iust wondering if someone managed to st least start the weight loss journey without stepping into a scale, but just by how clothes fit, mirror, etc...

Reason is... I simply can't make myself step into that scale, to the point that it is really anxiety triggering. I have been trying tk lose weight using the scale for years and without success.

I went from 105 kg to 93 kg, back to 110 kg, down to 100 kg, up to 118 kg, down to 107 kg and I have no idea now what I weight but given the increase of the size of my clothes I must be at 130 kg. I know I should face reality but I just don't have the mental strength for this journey

Hip Pain after Weight Loss?

30F. 5’9. SW:280, CW: 172.8, GW 150.

This may just be a me thing but I thought I’d ask, does anyone else have hip pain after weight loss? I’ve lost 63lbs since this time last year, down 107 overall. I’m walking about 10,000-15,000 steps per day currently and it feels like my hips are constantly tight and in pain.

I’ve started doing hip focused yoga flows to help with the tightness and pain, and I can’t tell if it’s making a difference. I can’t sleep on my side or my stomach because I’ll wake up from the pain in my hips.

Anyone else have this issue? Or should I be talking to my GP about this?

Need help getting back on track

Hi all! I’m looking for some support and accountability as I work on my weight loss journey again.

Over the past few years, my body and my weight have gone through a lot of changes due to life events I’m still healing from, including sexual trauma, a divorce, and a miscarriage. I’ve also had periods of being on and off birth control, which has made my weight fluctuate more than I ever expected.

At my heaviest, I was 330 lbs. Through a lot of work, I got down to 179 lbs at my lowest, which I was really proud of. Recently, I’ve gained about 40 lbs back, and I’m trying to find my way back to a healthier place both physically and mentally.

I’m not looking for quick fixes or shame. I’m looking for sustainable habits, support, and advice from people who understand that weight loss is not always a straight line.

If you’ve been through something similar or have tips for getting back on track in a healthy way, I’d really appreciate it.

Foot pain threatening my progress

I’ve been on a solid run lately — increased workouts, hitting 15-20k steps a day, and finally making real progress on weight loss (down 25 lbs, still a lot to go). Now I’ve got pain on the top/bridge of my left foot that’s been progressively worse over the past few days.

The confusing part is it actually feels better the more I walk on it — stiff and painful in the morning, fine after warming up. But there’s a very specific pinpoint tender spot when I press on it, which apparently points toward stress fracture. I can jump on it just fine, can jog etc., the pain is like a 4/10.

I know I should rest it. I just really don’t want to lose momentum. Has anyone dealt with this and found a way to maintain cardio while letting it heal? The whole process is very psychological for me and I’m not ready to just sit on the couch and watch the scale stop moving. Do I even have a stress fracture? I don’t want to go to a doctor and pay a bunch of money just so they can tell me to rest + ice
