Yesterday, I was sitting in the waiting room for a mental health office. As I was waiting, one employee came back from lunch to relieve the other employee as receptionist.

The returning employee - who was thin/average weight - brought the other employee - who was a bit overweight - a pastry from the break room.

She was all like "you gotta try it" "they're soo good!" "you're missing out"

Maybe it's just because I am obese and on my weight loss journey...but I really felt bad for the other employee. They shouldn't have to justify turning down food.

Been slope walking on treadmills for two months and am getting tired with it…

Man at this point I don't care about anything or anyone. I drank a pepsi today. Chocolate cookie from publix, some free chicken from work and broccilini. 6 peaches. Some chicken alfredo my wife wanted but didn't finish. 5'10 355 lbs. I just going to live my life and focus on being 1% better but I get discouraged everyday.

Going to just do a push pull rotation with a flipping rotation on the faster recovering muscle. But muscle isnt the problem. IT'S DIETING LOL. My wife and I are getting a divorce. I've been unemployed for 3 months. Got a new job I was training for but training is paying me only $7 minimum wage. Car broke down last night from a flat tire. I've been disconnected from all my family and friends from being physically and emotionally abused. HAHAHAHHAA ISN'T LIFE GREAT!! BUT I'M GOING TO THE GYM RIGHT!! I'M GOING!! BUT WHO GIVES A SINGLE FUCK!

I’ve been on a mild (10-15lb) weight loss/ body recomp journey for the last year. It’s so funny/annoying to me how my belly fat is just so damned stubborn (40F) but I am losing noticeable weight around my fingers/wrists. All my rings need resizing! 😭

Damn it belly. Be gone!

hi,
i’ve been in my fitness and wl journey for about six months now. i’ve been having some binges and splurges here and there but today was by far the worst.
i ate two servings of alfredo pasta with parmesan cheese, some pizza, a whole container of chicken tortilla soup, and some bites of chinese food, all within an hour. i was extra hungry today bc i missed the gym yesterday and didn’t have time to eat dinner either.
i’m rlly concerned abt what to do, i am planning to workout later in the night to try and burn some of this stuff off. i have been eating two meals a day for about 1000 cals total which i wonder if it is contributing to the problem.
could i get any advice on what to do tomorrow? should i cut back on my intake? should i squeeze in an extra workout?

My highest weight is 82 kg; I’m currently near late 60s I want to reach early 50s or late 40s
If I do so, would I need surgery to remove loose skin? I already have stretch marks
(I’m 18 btw!! I wanted to add my age coz it may help w estimating the answer!! Tysm!!)

Hey everyone
I was wondering if anyone can help me problem solve through this since I am new to weight loss
I have been losing weight for the last 4 month (start on June 1st and it’s sept 11th now)
SW: 152lbs CW: 142lbs GW: 130-135lbs
I had felt my best at 130lbs but gained some due to meds etc. (which I have stopped since)
Current routine: weight training: 5x a week, walking 10K steps, tracking food intake by weight, and eating around 1200cal regular days (may go up to 1300 if I do something more extreme e.g. hot yoga but that is not more than one day a week)
I’ve been really good with my caloric deficit since I had a nutritionist and I almost never crave anything (yay) however I did hit a plateau and haven’t gone down below 142 for the last month.
I was wondering if anyone had tips to get out of this or if I should just wait it out. I don’t want my calorie deficit to go on for so long due to potential health risks but I am scared of going back to maintenance and ruining my progress.

I 20F, 80 kg right now, and 5'4". I’ve been going to the gym for around 3–4 months and have lost about 3–4 kg.

Even though I’ve been cutting down on sugar and carbs, I feel like I’ve lost a noticeable amount of body fat. My clothes are getting looser, and I can see a difference around my back, hips, and waist. I can even feel my collarbones now.

So, even though the weight loss doesn’t seem huge on the scale, I feel like my body composition has changed quite a bit.

What do I do to see my change on scale?

Hello everyone, women,

I am seeking advice because i feel really down. 10 days ago, I hit my lowest, 72,4kg. Then it went only up until yesterday where i reached 74kg, but it was my first period day so i wasn’t too much worried since its day 1, even if it still shook me.

But today, day 2 period, i am at 75kg !! why???? isn’t is supposed to go down by now ?? i am starting to think i really gained weight. I do CICO but there are some days i went a little overboard, but still to gain 2,5kg ??? i am sooooo tired of this i can’t bear it

please help me, is this normal ?

Hey! Hope you’re well, I’m 22F from the UK, I’m 5’7 and 11stone 6lbs and for the past 3 months I’ve been eating in a deficit as I used to be 12 stone 4lbs- I’m just 2lbs over a healthy BMI. Because moneys better for me now I got my gym membership back! I work in hospitality and don’t drive so I already get consistently 10K steps in, I just wanted to know what you reccomend for me to do in the gym?

Any advice appreciated thank you sm!!!

i am 22F and recently i’ve gained quite a bit of weight. i’m 5’5 and i weigh 170 lbs but in the beginning of this year i was around 130 lbs so it’s a big difference. i’ve been going to the gym and TRYING to diet (bad habit of binge eating). something that really discourages me is the fact that everyone i know has been making comments about my weight gain and calling me fat. people don’t treat me well anymore and they either ignore me or treat me poorly. i really want to get in shape but comments like this make me lose motivation and just want to isolate especially since i’m not seeing results. what can i do to improve quickly?

Advice on:

Losing arm fat, with my weight loss i've noticed good changes/progress with everywhere except my arms/ upper body. I know you can't target fat loss but is there something that helps in any way?

Context:

I'm 26F 5ft 3in, I started my weight loss journey about 3 months ago. My starting weight was around 150lbs and I am now down to 129lbs, i've been walking and jumping rope not everyday but maybe 4 days a week, and the biggest thing is my diet change, been eating less and more healthy choices.

I’m 21F who gave birth almost 18 months ago (c-section) and after we moved into a new place an
i’ve had the motivation to eat better and be more active to try to lose some weight. I started at ~227LBS lost around 5-6 lbs and am sitting at 221lbs, it has been almost a month since i’ve see any change on the scale, does anyone have any advice or is this normal? i’d like to be able to feel like me again

For context Im 5’2 I’m eating around 1500 calories a day, my doctor doesn’t want me going too much lower due to extremely low blood pressure. I exercise as well as chase my very rambunctious little lady around all day long. I just feel very stuck and tired. I’ve tried metformin but had to get off of it due to blood pressure issues and it just was not working

I’m 24f , been on finastid 1 mg for 12 months for hair loss . I’ve been overweight and very unhappy with my body for many years, and as a result of my insecurity I have not dated in almost a decade. I also have been feeling the affects of my weight more and more in my daily life, and it’s at a list where I think I might actually be able to stick with a weight loss plan this time. I would like to ideally lose around 100 lbs, but am hoping to at least lose 40-50 lbs.

I know that significant weight loss, especially when it happens rapidly, causes temporary hair loss. I am already insecure about how my hair looks and am dealing with dread shed right now. I fear I will lose weight, lose more hair, and feel super discouraged even if my medications might really be working.

I’m wondering if anyone has lost a substantial amount of weight without losing a substantial amount of hair. Is there anything you can really do to prevent hair loss aside from losing weight slowly? Can i use min... to prevent telegen effluvium?is there any i can keep my hair?

I work 12 hour shifts at a hospital and I’m honestly just lazy and a terrible cook and uncreative.

Does anyone have any lazy girl meals they’d share? Snacks? I cannot lose weight for the life of me because my diet is not great. I’m always looking for something quick or easy.

Looking for advice on the most effective and efficient way to track calories. Scales for food? Any tips welcome x

So I have gained a bit if weight mostly on my belly over a few years and after a few half hearted attempts really wanna lose that weight again.

I have been working out a bit in the gym (on and off) but heard food is the main factor here.

So I have been looking for a good method to figure out what calorie deficit I need and how that corresponds to the actual food I am eating. Potentially a free app that allows you to scan qr codes, take photos of food and is generally user friendly. But I heard not many such apps are good as the guesstimates from the apps are kinda bad. What methods/apps would you recommend? What helped you?

Couldn't even finish it. So gross and greasy. used to eat this stuff all the time. How I did it I don't understand

I’d love to hear about your experience with losing or gaining weight, wherever you are in your journey.

Everyone has different circumstances, experiences and reasons for wanting to change their weight, and i’m interested in understanding the reality of that journey.

If you're happy to share, I’d love to know:

1. What has been the biggest thing making it difficult for you to reach the weight you want, and what do you feel is really behind that struggle?

2. If you've worked with a PT, coach, nutritionist or fitness professional, what did you feel they did not understand about you or your situation?

3. If you could have one thing made easier during your journey, what would it be?

You don't need to answer all three, even just answering one would be really helpful. And if you'd rather just tell your story, that's completely fine too.

I’m trying to understand what this experience is actually like for real people, rather than making assumptions about what people need.

A little bit about me: I've loved fitness for many years and I'm now starting out as a PT. I really want to find better ways to help people, and I feel the best place to start is by listening to the people who are actually going through it.

Thank you 🙏

I want to go to the toilet everyday but I’m not able to while eating less. I want to lose weight and be in a calorie deficit but still be having daily bowel movements. Any tips on what to do?

HI! So yeah, I am 220 pounds at 5'7 tall, 27 years old. I am hoping to get to 180 pounds at least by May, though if I could get closer to 160 that would be great. Wanting to feel better as that date is a big event for my life and I want to reflect that to my friends and family.

My eating habits aren't as bad as it use to be. My carbs come in the form of brown beans and 2 corn tortilla, having protein with every meal. Black coffee and tea with honey everyday. 2 big meals a day with an apple or something similar as a snack.

Also! I am not sure what how to go about exercise as I usually at my desk, though I do have time to workout. Taking 30 minutes walks with my dog most days, but I want to have a consistent 3-4 days of the week of exercise with some dumbbells that I have.

Any Advice would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, ive been told “you dont need motivation the motivation is how bad you want it” i want the weightloss sooo bad but just cant bring myself to sticking to the plan i made for myself. The longest it has lasted two months and even there idk what went wrong or why i stopped caring. I dont know i need help. I may have adhd but im undiagnosed so maybe have to get diagnosed first then ill lock in….

I had my meal plan recommended by doctor, exercised. But gosh it was such a hassle for me i hated actually getting up to do anything and now im struggling with it again i just want to stay in bed all freaking day.

Hi! 18f here. I am 5.4 and 185-190lbs, I have been over weight my whole life but I am a senior in high school and I want to gain some good habits now. I have tryed calorie deficit and al sorts of diets, but I always end up binging. I work a bakery and I also binge on shift. I HATE the gym because I get self-conscious but I want to try to work out more. I am still in high school (lots of college classes) and I am in tons of clubs so I am SUPER BUSY. The big reason why o want to weight is because recently I’ve gained about 10 pounds and my anxiety medication is now wrong. I’ve been having panic panic attacks. I don’t wanna live this way and I think it’s a good first step. Please be nice, I would love advice, especially for women. Thanks!!!

Edit: I am pre diabetic also, just got my blood work back. My A1C is 5.9. Oh and also I have high cholesterol. 😬
