Losing weight despite mental illness?

18F 5'6" CW 170 SW 185 LW 159 GW 152. Gave up on weight loss after my weight stagnated at 162 pounds, and I wasn't willing to further cut my calorie count, which I was already struggling not to surpass. Gained 8 pounds in three months because I completely quit working out and eating well. Now I've entered a depressive episode, which has made weight loss fucking suck. I was able to lose weight the first time because I was excited about it, motivated, and feeling proud of myself every day. Now I'm struggling with anxiety, depression, and OCD symptoms that have started to reduce my ability to function normally, let alone lose weight.

I'm eating 1300 calories a day and going on walks around the neighborhood daily. Haven't been able to force my ass into the gym yet because my motivation is impure; I want to lose weight because I'm angry at myself for letting myself go after I was so close to my goal. When I was motivated and happy to be taking on this challenge, weight loss was easy. Now it sucks. I'm only back playing this weight loss game because I failed, and a failure so late in the game is kinda hard to deal with. I don't have much weight to lose, which makes it hurt more — it shouldn't be so hard, yet I'm failing.

Looking for others who have struggled with similar mindsets for some advice here. Is it even worth trying to lose weight if my head's not right? How have you overcome mental hurdles in your weight loss journey? Any input is appreciated, thank you!

is skipping breakfast for weight loss effective or not?

im a 15f and am actively trying to lose weight. i hate eating breakfast and usualy dont but my father insist i do, saying that not eating makes my metobilism and blood sugar worse. i just want to know if its true, since by my logic skipping breakfast means less calories and also makes more sense to me. if anyone has any, please link the studies that back up either me or my dads claim and if not i would just like to know if its true or not. i also do workout every single day as well to keep losing weight while also being on a calorie deficit and eating breakfast adds more calories to my diet

2 questions (Fitbit, apps)

1. I recently lost my entry level Fitbit. I'm inclined to replace it with the same model (Inspire 3). Is there any reason, from a weight loss perspective, to instead get a higher-end model or a different brand?

My understanding is that more expensive models have a built-in ECG and also a built-in GPS. But I believe the Inspire 3 connects to my cellphone's GPS. So I don't really see any need to go with something expensive. Do you agree?

1. I have used a calorie tracker for years. What is the next most essential type of weight management app?

Thank you.

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?
