I have a calorie deficit question

I’m 6’2 and 280 pounds just started out on weight loss my best weight from when I was active 4 years ago was 220 and I maintained it pretty well and I’m working to get back on track working on how much I eat and started going back to the gym regularly so any advice would be very appreciated I’ve never had to work back down before

Let’s say I eat 1500 cals but at the end of the day I work out and walk up to 1600 will I just lose weight more or how does it really work

I understand that your body has a daily amount it needs for calorie intake but if you start working off everything you eat same day will you just lose weight as if you didn’t eat

I do realize it’s probably unhealthy it’s just something I thought about randomly and how hard it is to work off your daily amount of needed calories

struggling with people around me and losing weight

i’ve been on a weight loss journey for about a year now and have lost 80lbs and went from a 36in waist to 28in. so it has become very obvious that i’m doing something to lose weight. my main issue currently is people commenting on my diet, what i eat, how much i eat, how often i workout or go for walks. it’s genuinely discouraging trying to stay in a calorie deficit meanwhile my mom will complain that i’m starving myself (i’m not. i do IF and occasionally OMAD so it seems that way to her even if my meals are high calorie) and making me feel bad about trying to eat healthier.

it was completely different when i was at my highest weight..i was congratulated for losing so much weight and asked how i did it, etc. versus now i am technically at a healthy weight for my height however i am not where i’d like to be at yet! i am on the highest end of normal for my bmi and would like to be closer to the lower or middle range as well as i am trying to stay more consistent with working out so i can be a bit more toned with muscle rather than fat.

has anyone else had problems with other people making hurtful comments or saying “you don’t need to lose any more weight” when you’re at a “normal weight” yet still dieting and exercising? it makes me feel guilty for wanting to be healthier. i go on a walk daily, i try to do at least an hour and i speed walk for most of it. yesterday i was about to go for my walk when my mom says something about getting pizza..i say no i’m okay i was about to go for my walk and probably have something here at the house after. it just turned into an argument about how i’m exercising excessively and not eating enough. now maybe i’m in the wrong here but as a fully grown adult woman, i feel i can do what i want with my own body to get it to a place i’m happy with. don’t get me wrong i’m mostly happy and i should be at my goal within the next 6 months, i’m just really struggling with feeling pressured to overeat and eat fast food and sweets so often since we’re on vacation. any advice for ignoring negative comments or just..avoiding arguments with her??😭

extra info: i’m 20F, live with my mom currently but usually we do not see each other due to opposite work schedules, but have been in very close proximity lately due to a few vacations and this has really been where the negative comments have gotten worse. kind of like “we’re on vacation so calories don’t count.” for a weekend trip..sure. this is 3 weeks. i would gain 20lbs if i stopped my diet for the whole of the trip.

TL;DR my mom is constantly making negative comments about my eating and exercise habits and making it incredibly hard to stick to my calorie goals by encouraging fast food and making me feel bad for eating healthier than her. any advice?

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
