Starting to really see the difference

So I used to be 150kgs (330lbs), I did not take any photos during this time as I was really depressed and hated my body. I got down to about 130-120 (280-220) and started going to the gym. That’s around when I took the first pic. I haven’t weighed myself super recently but last I checked I was about 80kgs (176) and I took this pic the other day after seeing the old one again.

Seeing these side by side was kinda the first time I’d realised how all the hard work actually did something.

I just wanted to share this with someone at least.

Odd body fat

Hi! Im 5’1 and Ive been on a weightloss journey for about a year. I weigh about 120 lbs but ever since I can remember ive always had this weird pouch on my lower abdomen and no matter how much weight i lose it won’t go down or away. Summer is coming uo and Id love some tips. Ive been in a calorie deficit for a year and I do weight lifting and exercise regularly so I have no idea why this weight is being so stubborn.

Weight gain???

So i used to be like 45 kgs around 3.5 yrs ago when I was in high school, then after it ended, i did a bit of kickboxing for 3-4 months n all

It was going okay but as soon as uni started, i didnt get enough time to do all the exercises n stuff and i started noticing that i gained 5 kgs every month and right now I weigh like 67-68kgs, im a 20 year old female and im like 5'2, i know i shouldn't be 68 kgs, ive tried dieting, healthy ones, tried doing the "healthy food choices" thing, tried as much as walking n exercising i can but I just cant seem to lose weight

Like I really really wanna lose weight, and I wanna do it fast, 3-4 months...

Are there any alternatives or any suggestions or anything at all that might help?

No where else to share

Hi internet strangers,

I am really struggling with feeling successful and like I am making progress because while I am seeing changes no one in my life has noticed or wants to celebrate with me.

I recently hit a milestone of 30 lbs weight loss and I don’t feel like I can share with my family because the last time I shared about what I considered a milestone number (20lbs) they only wanted to focus on how they didn’t notice and how much more I need to lose.

I am anxious about sharing with my partner because the weight I’ve gained has been a concern voice multiple times in the last year in our and my brain keeps telling me the reaction will be the sam e as my families. If it is that would be devastating for me.

So, I am sharing with internet strangers that I hit a milestone and lost 30 lbs. I want to celebrate and be happy without worrying or thinking about how much further I have to go.

I’ve been accurately tracking calories for weeks and still not losing weight. What am I missing?

I feel completely stuck with weight loss. I’ve been trying seriously for around two years, not just “trying for a week and quitting.” I lost weight before, but now I feel like nothing works anymore no matter how consistent I am.

Right now I track my calories carefully, weigh my food, stay active, walk a lot, and try really hard to stay disciplined. I’ve done calorie deficits for weeks at a time and sometimes I see little to no change on the scale or in my body. It’s making me feel exhausted mentally because everyone keeps repeating the same advice like “just eat less” or “be patient,” but I genuinely feel like I’m already doing that.

I’m short (5'2) which makes it even more frustrating because my calorie needs feel low compared to other people. I also feel like my body holds onto weight very easily. I’ve been told maybe it’s water retention, hormones, stress, inaccurate tracking, etc., but after hearing the same things over and over, I just feel hopeless and misunderstood.

How do i lose stubborn thigh/buttock fat

Im 5’10 150lbs, but due to working out legs like a maniac for 2 years and then lost most of the muscle after focusing on school and work until it slowly turned into fat leading to me being more self conscious about them and hating how jeans look on me. My butt pokes out of my jeans giving me weird proportions and its obvious in some jeans that my legs are big i just hate having big legs and want any advice that would help me slim them down.

Calorie tracking app?

Heyo. Im 31F 5Ft 8in. About 180lbs. Im attempting to loose about 15-20 lbs in the next 3 months to get healthier and for a upcoming family members wedding. Ive been doing a calorie deficit diet for about a week now. I was wondering if anyone had a good calorie tracking app (thats free) they would like to recommend. My diet has been a protein shake in the late morning/afternoon (150cal) then either a piece of salmon and some herb rice or a bowl of shredded boiled chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and a 50/50 mix of fat free yogurt and mayo. I just wrapped it in lettuce and call it a day.

31 F I’m so insecure and disgusted with myself lately

I’m 5’4, currently 150-153lbs last time I checked a week ago. I want SO bad to shed at least 20lbs to be at my goal weight of 130lbs. Shit, I’d even be grateful if I lost 10lbs rn. That alone would be more motivation for me. Been struggling with depression lately so forcing myself to go on walks everyday is really hard. I don’t work and have no excuse as to why I can’t or haven’t lost this weight yet. I’m sf insecure I hate looking at myself I’m disgusted and beating myself up bad.

Just tell me what I already know, that I’m fat/chubby bc my friends and family are all lying to me

F/28/5’4”[225 lbs &gt; 140 lbs = 85 lbs lost] (10 months) Lucky to have a second chance! 🩷

I started taking care of myself, loving myself, and treating myself with respect in October 2024, and I’ve maintained my first goal weight of 140 lbs for over a year now! I’m always finding new things to work on, and while I’m really proud of how far I’ve come, I’d still love to lose about 20 more pounds, tone up, and finally start going to the gym to continue transforming my body. So far, I’ve lost all my weight through walking consistently and getting over 10k steps a day, while sticking to a low-carb, low-sugar diet.
I truly feel as if life has just begun- this is my best chapter yet. 🩷

Difference

I'm asking if anyone can see a difference in the two pictures. The picture in the red is most recently taken, the other was taken in Feb.

I've been tracking my calories, staying in a deficit and doing my best to walk for 30 mins-1 hour daily. Just wanting to note some progress!

Does treadmill running ever stop feeling repetitive?

Every time I try using a treadmill, I get bored faster than I expect.

Running outside feels more engaging, even if it’s harder physically. On a treadmill, it feels repetitive and I find myself constantly checking the time. At the same time, I can’t ignore how convenient it is, especially when the weather is bad or I don’t feel like going out. For people who use treadmills regularly, does it get easier over time, or is it always something you have to mentally push through?
