Starting today at a weight Iām not comfortable mentioning. Because the only time I weighed more I was 9 months pregnant . Anyways Iāve signed back up for my fitness pal to log my food and track my calories . Ready to start this, my goal is to be down 25lbs by my birthday in late August.
Sometimes I forget just how overweight I am. Around the house in the mirror I think ānot too shabbyā but then I see a candid photo of me and Iām like āwho is that fat person?ā And I realize I have so much further to go and feel so far away from my goals that it feels hopeless.
Great to see my original thread is still alive and kicking !! It was years ago when i started the original thread with the weightloss idea check in, way back when we a bunch of us were on the NOOM fad lol ![]()
Ive gotta start watching my porky pies ( eyes ) with what i look at food wise as my eyes easily control my brains decisions when it comes to food.
Im on a seafood diet- i SEE FOOD and eat it ![]()
Need to pull my head in im a good 7 kgs over my comfortable weight.
Gotta watch it.
Eating better and moving more pays off: -4 cm in belly size today.
The first thing I did was cry

Iām doing pretty horribly at not going over my budgeted calories and thus I havenāt lost weight even though Iāve been tracking for the last 6 months. If anything my body is becoming more apple shaped and my stomach is disproportionately fat which I know is bad for your organs and also means most of my clothes donāt fit. Iām still eating processed sugar and other junk. I usually wait to eat in the morning if I donāt wake up hungry. Now Im wondering if I should also stop eating early like 8pm.
I have so many resources at my fingertips but I feel overwhelmed now with work books and podcasts and apps all surrounding losing weight.
I know what is like to be overwhelmed with life. It would be so nice for the world to stop and we could just deal with staying sober, eating healthy (Lose weight) and exercise. You say you are tracking your foods daily. That is a great step. Habits take a while to form. Eating times I have read is important. By restricting calories by a certain time in your day may keep from over indulging. I have created a habit of eating strawberries at midnight because I limit my sugar intake during the day. Probably not the best idea but it seems to work for me to avoid the ice cream option. Keep being mindful and take care of YOU. I believe healthy is more important than the scale numbers and your body image. I am glad you are here. Focus on the good stuff you are doing!
What helped me was doing a 12hr fast nothing to eat after 7pm or before 7am. It helped
I think that is a great option. I tend to indulge early evening as the day winds down. Thanks for sharing.
193.2 lbs.
happy with that after all the dinners out last week. And lack of exercise.
Hello everyone ! Hope you are doing well? Iāve been gone for awhile and after Christmas few months ago, my weight has creeped up to 177 lbs. I started using a fasting app today to help me get down to, hopefully, 155 lbs. Iāll be attempting to fast from 7pm to 11am. ![]()

Iāll also be cleaning up my diet. ![]()

Made it into the 240s! March 16th i was 260lb ouch. Today i am 249.4lb Will be weighing myself once a week on Mondays moving forward (and not everyday). Feeling positive today!
Great job! That is big drop⦠I know personally I feel better emotionally too with weight loss.
Be proud of yourself.
Thank you!!! The first week i lost like 6lb which im assuming is water weight. But then last week i went down a little but more
so im hoping that was fat being lost and not just more water weight lol
Gained half a kilo in bodyfat! Just had my weight appointment at the gym.
Even lost a little bit of muscle.
Not good and it irritates me a lot! They told me to eat extra if I work out ore walk, well today they say skip that. Ok.
The focus was gaining muscles but now it becomes loosing fat. Why canāt I do both? ![]()
Again, Iām irritated. Worked hard last 4 weeks but only gained weight and didnāt made any progress on the muscle āthingā
Didnāt made any progress at all.
Still motivated though! Gonna proove myself I can get thoose numbers into the good direction!
Sorry for the setback @SoberWalker dont let this detour your weightloss/muscle building journey.
What worked for me was to track what im eating and even with exercise be at a 200cal deficit. Focusing on macros is a good goal too (protein/fat/carbs)
Yes, that is my goal as well for the next month. At the 8th of may I have a new weight appointment. I use MyFitnessPal to look at my intake and macroās.
