Beginner at gym

Hi I’m a 5’5 woman that is around 160 pounds and my goal is 140. I don’t know how long this is going to take me but I’m patient. I went to the gym today and I went on the treadmill for 30 minutes at 12% incline and 2.2 mph. I’m not going for max intensity, just something easy that I can do everyday. Is this enough for weight loss? I’m afraid this isn’t enough and I have to do it for longer, but I was sweating a lot. I’ve also been starting to eat 1600 calories a day as my calorie deficit. I think the hardest part is figuring out what to eat everyday. And I think I have a slow metabolism because I’m frequently constipated.

Not coping well with gaining weight for the first time. Starting my weight loss plan now

I hope it's okay if I just want to vent. Maybe ask for support or advice on how to stop feeling so shitty and disgusting and ugly while I do my best to lose this weight.

I'm 5'5 male and my normal weight is generally between 130-150 lbs.

I guess over the last year I gained a lot of weight. Mostly because it's the first time in my life I've both had access to as much food as I actually needed AND haven't been in a dangerous or incredibly stressful environment/situation. The stress definitely helped keep me skinny for years LOL but I wouldn't reccomend it

Anyways, my weight now is 192 lbs. Definitely fat. I don't look completely massive but it's totally impossible to hide now.

I'm starting to figure out a plan to lose weight, I don't have access to like, literally fucking anything that costs money right now- no gym no nothing. And I really don't have aot of energy to spare, working out fucking HURTS. so my plan right now is to calorie deficit (eating around 1200 calories a day or less if I can manage it but it's a bit hard) and exercising when I can. Trying to take more walks and bike but biking fucking HURTS also. It's all been such a bitch

Pretty much ALL the weight went to my ass and my stomach too so I feel like I look like SHIT. I don't know how to cope with it I literally can't dress well anymore, I'm wearing hoodies in 80-90 degree weather because I can't stand how I look in anything anymore, I feel just nasty and ugly all the time and I can barely stand to leave the house anymore at all, just idk. What do I even do to make myself feel less shit while I work on losing this weight??? It's not like I can drop all the weight today or any time super soon, it takes months, but I can't just be feeling shit all the time, moping all the time and never going outside or dressing myself properly, what do I do???

Sorry for the negativity but it's hard and people around me just don't seem to get it. I just need any encouragement or advice. Thanks

What finally made you lose weight after repeated failed attempts?

Pretty much exactly what's in the title.

I'm sick of losing, regaining, losing, regaining. Sick of being obese. Sick of losing trust in myself with every failed attempt. Sick of overeating.

I initially lost 60 or so pounds about 3 years ago, but I've regained about 20 of those and I'm just yoyoing between 195-220 constantly now. I'm just so sick of this merry go round, and it's making me believe that weight loss is just impossible for me. I managed to get down to 184 at one point eating 1300 calories a day, but that level of calorie restriction left me starving and it kickstarted a period of severe binging. I'm now in a place where my binging is under control but I still overeat and I just fucking love food. I can't seem to regain any discipline.

Taking a GLP1 isn't an option for me at the moment - I don't qualify for it under the NHS rules (BMI not quite high enough) and I can't afford to pay for it privately. For this reason, I'm interested mainly in responses from people who managed drastic weight loss without medication. Hoping for some wisdom from those who have been successful.

Thanks in advance!

let go of myself for one day (with all intentions of doing so) and the aftermath is well... it's something. any advice?

so for reference i'm currently 153lbs 5'7 male (was 138lbs prior to this), i decided to kinda say right, i've been on CICO for the past 2 or 3 years (my weight was 280lbs before embarking on this weight loss journey if memory serves) and i need to just listen to my body for once and eat whatever and whenever... turns out 13k calories in one day definitely does some crazy stuff to you.

i'm dealing with a water weight increase of 15lbs and truthfully i look rather... bloated and my face is honestly the puffiest i think i've seen it.

realistically i know at my TDEE i'm in for about roughly 3.5lbs of fat gain after today and it was certainly worth it... HOWEVER, does anyone know when this bloat / water weight will go away? it's not pleasant and makes me look like the michelin man.

I don't what to title this but I need tips

I am 18 (almost 19) and I have been trying to lose weight off and on in my life. I had tried intermediate fasting my parents said it was unhealthy and unnecessary. I tried exercising but I was feeling like it wasn't working as I didn't see any change, I eventually gave up.

I have also tried going to the gym but I got some reason do not like going alone (I of course won't ask) and well I need a ride because I currently cannot legally drive anything so I will have to rely on my brother.

Anyways I want to try all of it again and try to get past the insecurities and stuff. But I work at a job where u literally stand around and watch people and make sure things go okay from 1pm -10 pm Thursdays - Sundays (aware I have the other days) I just want to be active all day. I work register and watch sold checkouts. I was wondering if there are ways to actually become active if just... Standing around. (I've walked in circles to be honest)

And in all honesty I need weight loss type in general

I'm trying apps now so if there's any recommendations

how to permanently break eating habits?

Context: over many years of trying to lose weight, I discovered that my habits are the reason why I keep failing. I lost around 12 kgs (in like a year?) and gained it all back (went back to my highest weight and surpassed that). Every time I lose weight I always gain it back and come back to weight X. I am genuinely so tired because I feel like i have control but then I dont.

(weight loss from overweight to normal weight, weight x is the borderline between both and has affected my health negatively in many aspects (physically and mentally))

My problematic habits appear when i pour myself food and eat it. I feel like when it comes to meals I always turn on autopilot mode and pour myself the amount of food I always pour (pre weight loss) and eat it. And i always discover that i ate too much after i had wiped out my plate and feel my stomach bulging hard and my breathing becoming difficult. I tried weighing my food, using smaller plates, putting down my spoon, drinking while eating and all that and I genuinely feel like i cannot reach a solution. Before anyone tells me to be "mindful and conscious" when i eat, i tried that and i always feel its so weird and i feel like i am not satisfied nor satiated even if i eat what i wanna eat in the quantity i want. It feels so out of the place.

I genuinely do not know how to break this habitual eating. I feel like i got too used to my old schedule to the point that everything feels like muscle memory (going to the kitchen and opening the fridge just to realize i literally did not want to eat).

i know this sounds so silly but its been too long and too hard and i dont think im the only one who has this problem. i need a solution that works because everything i tried only worked temporarily

how do you lock in again

28F, 160 cm (5'3).

I was overweight basically my whole life until 2023 when I decided to lock in and lose 20 kg (44 lbs), which put me for the first time in the Normal BMI category. I'm now hovering around 63/64 kg (139/141 lbs). However I've been struggling to get to my goal weight of 55 kg (121 lbs) for nearly 2 years now.

I notice I keep going on the cycle of going on deficit of 1400 cal for 2 to 5 days -> overeating at 1500 cal once -> thinking my body might have signaled me to eat more so going maintenance for the next 3 days.

The scale didn't go down so I might have eaten more than what I accounted for.

My question is, how do people lock back in after a huge weight loss? I feel crazy that despite being able to lose so much weight before, I can't seem to lock back in to that old mindset. I keep wondering what I was thinking during that time but right now I also have plenty of motivations, they just don't seem to affect my mentality that much 😭
