I've wanted to lose 20 kg (44 lbs) for 9 years now.

I've managed to lose 10 kg (22 lbs) of those three separate times, and for the third time I'm right back to square one.

The last time I lost the weight, I swore to myself I'd never go back to where I am now (80 kg / 176 lbs)... and here I am.

I don't even feel anything anymore, like some part of me already knew I'd end up letting myself down. I don't know if I have the strength to do it all over again, but I also can't keep living like this.

Just venting, really, but I'd love to hear what keeps you all going and inspired :(

Apparently if you are 156 cm and want to reduce your body fat percentage, you have to eat like 1000 calories or something according to them calculators.
I checked and it is mentioned that eating below your bmr is dangerous, but then weight loss is quite impossible

Can anyone let me know what the daily calorie intake I should be taking if tdee is around 1520 calories in recovery days to lose fat?

I've been on my weight loss journey for about 3 months now. During my first month, I lost around 10 kg, which I'm guessing was mostly water weight. Ever since then, my weight has been stuck between 72-74 kg for almost two months, no matter how hard I try.

I've stayed consistent with my workouts and have been trying to watch what I eat (I weigh what I eat and make sure I eat between 1,600 to 1,800 kcal a day) but seeing the scale refuse to move has been really discouraging. I started this journey feeling excited and motivated, but lately it just feels exhausting. Like it's something I have to force myself to do instead of something I enjoy. It's frustrating to put in so much effort and feel like nothing is changing.

I'm honestly thinking about taking a 7 day break from working out. Not because I want to quit, but because I feel mentally and physically burned out. I want to give myself time to recover, reset, and hopefully come back with more motivation.

The problem is that I'm scared. Part of me feels guilty for even considering taking a break because I'm worried I'll lose all the progress I've worked so hard for or fall out of the habit completely.

Has anyone here taken a week off during their weight loss journey? Did it help you mentally or physically? Were you able to get back into your routine afterward without losing progress? I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences because I could use some reassurance right now. Thank you in advance 🙏

To summarize, I’m a 5’9 female who has a history of restriction (went from 145 to 125 last fall). Began binge eating over the past 10 months leading me to regain the weight plus some (currently around 152 give or take water weight from all the sodium from binges). I’m aware this is still a healthy BMI but my ideal range is 135-140.

Realized restriction was feeding my binges, increased my goal calories from 1500 to 1750 (still a deficit from my maintenance which I estimate around 2100-2150). However have unfortunately relapsed with multiple 4000-5000 calories binges in the past week.

Part of me wonders if the binges are due to the fact I have no set end time on these deficits, leaving my body in a feeding frenzy out of concern that I’m attempting a deficit for several months on end. Instead, should I try a deficit for eight weeks at a time and then maintenance at two weeks? Repeat until I hit my goal? Would this help the binges stop?

Incredibly grateful for any feedback i have—especially from those who have real experience and have been overcoming/overcame binge eating disorder while also trying to shed some of the weight gained as a result of it. Thank you, please constructive honest feedback only 🙏🙏

Hello guys I just wanted to share advice and share my story that helped me and may help you guys. Of course everyone knows consistency is key and this is very true but building the habit is what’s difficult. Like many people I lost and gain weight all the time since I was a teen I never left the 200s and at the time I started at 26 years old I realized I can’t be doing that anymore the toll on my health was getting worse. I ate when I was anxious,bored, just cause I had the money to get fast food whenever I wanted. I was building terrible habits just to feel better for an hour or two. So here’s what I did

#1: Gym time/ no intention to lose weight.

-what I mean is that I went to the gym with no intention of losing weight. I just had to make sure I did 20 minutes whether it was walking on the treadmill or elliptical and here’s the thing I had to really start focusing on myself and ignore everyone around me. I had learn to be okay with feeling embarrassed (just fyi I’m still anxiety ridden every time I go but it’s much more manageable once I’m into my workout), after a month or so it went from 20 minutes to 30 minutes a day then to an hour. It was all gradual but again I wasn’t focused on weight loss I was focused on building a habit. This helps because I didn’t change my activity drastically from sitting to now working out for an hour within a day and then missing the next days cause I was sore and then beating myself up and eating my feelings again cause I missed the gym.

#2: don’t restrict your eating drastically

- I would like to say every one has different dietary needs I’m no doctor or dietitian. When I first kept trying to lose weight I just either fasted or restrict my eating so bad that I would just gorge on food later on that it just voided every thing I worked on. What I did to fix this is now I made sure I have high protein meals to feel full, if I knew I was going out to eat food with family or friends (which you can’t avoid no matter how hard you try) I ate a very light breakfast or lunch due to restaurant foods having high calorie foods, I would even order foods that are low calorie if possible though many restaurants don’t really have them but having a light lunch or breakfast helps put your mind more at ease and you won’t feel as guilty which is what you want. You do have to enjoy these outings because family and friends won’t be there forever so enjoy yourself.

#3: the scale is scary

- always always always weigh yourself first thing in the morning after using the bathroom. I hate the scale ,I had moments where it didn’t budge at all when I felt I did everything right and that is completely normal. Always take a minute and think did you really eat a deficit or did you just maintain? You have to be super honest and realistic with yourself and learn to take accountability. Quick reminder as you lose weight your TDEE gets lower as well. I started writing what I ate in a journal even if I ate a biscuit or two. If the scale is a bit high it could also be that you ate a high sodium meal the day before or your muscles are still retaining water after a workout. If the scale is still on a downward trend and it may fluctuate up and down a bit but again still on a downward trend you’re doing great don’t beat yourself up. But always take accountability. Food journals are honestly great as cliche as it sounds.

#4: it’s okay to have a rest/cheat day

-when I first started losing weight I thought cheat days were days I can eat anything I wanted and just lay about but I was wrong, you can have a cheat MEAL but you still have to eat below your tdee in order for the weight loss to continue. It’s a balance really, during your days off, but I’ve learned to take an active rest day where I just made sure I take a walk around a park or block clean the house a bit made sure I get some steps.

This is what helped me and believe me I still have days where I struggle but building good habits will help. You’ll have setbacks but take time to learn from it instead of feeling like you failed and there’s no point in trying. You’re worth it and I wish someone helped me push through it but this forum was a lifesaver for me and reading other people’s journeys.Don’t be afraid to ask for tips and guides. What worked for me may not work for you but it may inspire you to try something different. Thank you for your time reading my post.

I seriously am wondering if I will ever lost weight. Feels like I never will.

I'm 5'3 and 150lbs. I know it's not the worst weight but it feels heavy on me. I feel like an ugly ogre. Now it's summer and I don't want anyone to see me in a bikini.

I weight lift 3-4 times per week and really haven't seen much progress. I'm working with a nutritionist and even going to therapy to help my relationship with food but nothing seems to work.

I calorie count but obviously that's not working as I keep gaining weight. I feel like no matter how hard I try to eat in a deficit I just can't seem to get it right and I'm eating too much.

I have never been able to lose weight and it's really starting to get me down. I just want to look and feel good in my body. I feel like GLP-1s would be a good option for me especially for food noise but I'm not big enough to qualify so I'm just stuck in a cycle of being overweight and unhappy. Gah

Super happy for those who have been able to lose the weight but it definitely makes me wonder what the heck am I doing wrong.

Has anyone else ever felt like this? What did you do that finally allowed you to see results? I honestly feel like nothing is working for me.
