Always been obese. How do I actually get started getting healthy?

I’m in my early 20s (in college), and I’ve been obese my entire life. I’ve finally want to make time for myself and seriously take care of my physical health, but I don’t know where to start.

I’m 6'2" and around 265 lbs. My job is pretty active, I average about 20k steps on the days I work,but outside of work I’m very sedentary and don’t exercise.

I honestly don’t really know what to even ask, let alone what I should be doing. I’m basically starting from zero, so any advice on where to begin would be really appreciated.

19F, went from fit to fat

i was skinny/underweight pretty much my whole life. even after puberty i was still really lean and had a flat stomach no matter what i ate.

i was around 54kg at 5’7” and looked pretty lean. then after 12th, during vacation, my weight just started going up really fast. i gained around 18–20kg in less than a year and i’m now around 72–74kg.

now i have belly fat, stretch marks everywhere and even my boobs have become noticeable bigger which is bothersome to me now. ironically i spent my entire teenage years wishing i had boobs, and now that i finally have them, they’re one of the things annoying me the most lmao.

i honestly feel like i don’t even know my body anymore. i’ve never had to lose weight before so i have no idea where to start.

i want to work out but my mom won’t let me go to the gym even though there’s literally one in our building.

has anyone else gone from being naturally skinny to gaining a lot of weight really quickly? what actually worked for you? especially if you had to do it without a gym.

Tired of trying to loose weight my entire life

Hey I’m 19 and I’ve always been in this constant journey of trying to loose weight since I was like 16. I gained around 10-20 kgs thanks to binge watching and complex family issues and loss that led me into eating away just to feel something back when I was 16.
This year I decided to take it seriously and it’s been the longest that I have actually been consistent and loose weight. I’ve lost around 7-8 kgs in a span of 3 months solely through dieting and walking occasionally but I’ve not really noticed much of a physically difference except the scale and some minor differences. But now I feel like I’m in a ditch, sometimes I just think about giving up and eating away, letting go of myself and it gets so hard to not fall into it again. It’s been really tough this past few weeks to continue this. Does anyone have any advice on how I can actually finish this damn weightloss journey and end this phase of my life without falling back again and again?

Helping my mom

My entire life I have watched my mom struggle to feel confident in herself because of her weight. It breaks my heart that my mom feels like she can’t love herself or be loved. It really really kills her self esteem. She suffers from many other issues that make normal weight loss options impossible. Fibromyalgia, inter-cranial hypertension, hypothyroidism, and probably more that I don’t even know. Because of these issues she can’t exercise. She can’t do the normal weight loss programs like nutrisystem or weight watchers because she’s gluten intolerant. I don’t know if GLP-1s are available for her because we are on Medicaid and I don’t think our state approves them for weight loss. I don’t wanna put her weight but her BMI is 43.9. She does have the isagenix meal replacement mixes but she can’t lose a lot of weight from those. If I’m correct she also can’t use things like RoBody because we have Medicaid. What can I do to help or suggest to her? I can’t stand to see her hate herself when she is my whole world. No she has never been at risk for diabetes so she can’t get GLP-1s for that reason. Is there anything, ANYTHING, that could help. I just want my mom to be able to love herself the way I love her.

Update: I saw ads for Factor meals and thought those would be great but they’re super expensive. I’m seeking help in a meal prep sub about some recipes.

Need some advice about loss weight

I need some advice

I just gained 10kg due to stress. Is there a way to lose it again?

Previously, I tried workout routines or aerobic exercises on YouTube (I can't go to the gym, and jogging might be rare for me too). I used treadmill when I still at my parents house when it college break, but for some reason, I feel like my weight isn't dropping at all. Exercising also seems quite hard for me because I suddenly get weak/dizzy (I have low blood pressure). What am I deficient in that causes me to feel this weak? Skipping meals isn't an option either because I have acid reflux. I need some tips.

Are there foods that can help me lose weight without requiring complicated cooking? I don't really have a proper kitchen in my dorm, and space is limited because I have a lot of stuff—boiling an egg is probably the most I can do.

weight loss

hi all i’m just looking for some advice regarding weight loss and the motivation to lose it. i am 5ft 1inchs and i am 67kg, and would like to be 50-54kg. i’d like to stay healthy but slim.
regarding my ways to lose weight, i hardly eat fast food, i eat meals at home but how can i add in vegetables in a fun way that makes me want to add them. what is a caloric deficit suitable to lose weight at a steady pace? i think right now i eat around 1800.

as for exercise, im so dang lazy. i do roughy 500 steps a day and it so bad and my goal is 3-5k so i’m WAY behind, how do i increase steps in a fun way? i lack motivation a tonne. i have a gym membership and at first i went for an entire 10 days before my motivation wore off and my sleep schedule become f\\\*cked. i also do a glute growing routine i found on tiktok and it’s working so far, not sure if that counts for exercise.

and i mentioned sleep, i go to sleep at 2-3 every night and wake up around 11am-1pm. it’s so bad and how do i fix it? i don’t have any sort of education or job/work to motivate me to wake up in the morning. i sleep through my alarms.

i’m so lost for what to do i don’t even know how to do anything. at my age i should know and it should be easier but my mental health is getting worse due to me being so sick of my looks
please any help would be so appreciated

Not sure how to continue

Hey guys! I’ve been trying to lose some body fat for about a year now, but I haven’t had much luck. I’ve tried strength training, eating in a calorie deficit, and tracking my food as accurately as I can. I was eating around 1,400 calories/day and getting 8–10k steps every day, but I’ve stayed around 120 lbs and honestly look pretty much the same. During this time I’ve probably had a few days where I ate too much without knowing.

This summer I decided to take a break from dieting and eat around my estimated maintenance of 1,500 calories since I’ve been mostly sedentary. I’ve been maintaining around 119 lbs, so now that school starts next week, I’m planning to get back into strength training and 10k+ steps a day.

My main goal is to lose some body fat, especially around my stomach/lower belly. I’m wondering what would be a reasonable calorie target be?

For reference I am 20 years old and 5’1. Any tips are appreciated!!

Как перестать переедать

Это уже становиться очень большой проблемой, я начинаю набирать вес. Мне скоро исполняется 16, я никогда не была полной, но около 2-3 лет мне подарили очень много сладостей и я сильно набрала. С тех пор, я пыталась похудеть совершенно разными способами, жесткими, мягкими, но после каждой диеты(даже если я не называю это диетой, просто стараюсь не переедать) примерно на 4 день я срываюсь и самое ужасное, что срыв идет всегда дольше чем диета, я ужасно переедаю в первый день(просто по 5 тыс калорий могу съесть) второй мб также, но постепенно убавляется и 5 день я ем уже как обычно. Мне очень нужно похудеть, еще я очень высокая 177, из-за этого я выгляжу как-то крупнее чтоли, если не худая, сейчас я вешу, максимум 65, хочу сбросить до 56-57 кг

Hi! I want to lose weight as fast as possible

19f, 201 pounds/91kg I think, I’m around 5’5 to 5’6?

I’ve always been bigger, around this summer I gained weight and it’s visible for me plus my clothes ofc. I was around 193? Closer to my goal and suddenly went up to 201. I was in disbelief, I couldn’t even get out of bed. And I’m in college, it’s hard to keep up a habit when I have so much to do. So I need help, anything helps.
Thanks!

A need for change

I'm 18 yars old, 5'8, Female, 320 lbs.

What I'm about to tell you is going to be nothing but honesty.

I need to lose this weight. Everything is telling me that I need to lose it. Every single year of my life has been an attempt to lost my weight and I truly want this year to be my year where I really make it happen.

- - - - - -

I dont like to exercise but I'm willing to do LIGHT exercise.

I dont have much activity besides going to school but I just sit in a chair all day, and walking around the house (to the kitchen or to my mom's room.. ect)

I am trying to do a calorie defecit of 2200Kcal but it isn't really working.. food noise is insanely loud for me.

I also really enjoy drinking pop but I switched to only DIET pop.

I use go over my calorie defecit. If I'm really trying its always less than 3000kcal but that's still not a defect.. but less than I would usually eat.

\- --- ---- ----

Please please please someone help me. I want this more than anything

I have some wishy washy problems... where sometimes il l want it so bad willing to do everything and other days I just accept myself..

If anyone can lead me in the right track I'd be so thankful..
