My main methods of weightloss are CICO 1200~1500 a day, IF 16:8, and 30min of exercise at least 5 days a week! I've lost almost 24kg/53lbs in the last 6 months.
Yesterday I had a pretty bad cheat day, but I thought about it... It wasn't nearly as bad as it would have been before I started my weight loss journey!
I went to the movies and had an entire medium popcorn all to myself, breaking my fast early... But I went with diet soda instead of regular like I would have had before!
I decided to have lunch instead of waiting for dinner to eat... But I went with the 'mini' lunch set instead of the regular size. And I chose to drink black coffee instead of juice, once again avoiding those liquid calories!
At dinner for my friend's birthday party, I had incredibly unhealthy food. Fried chicken, asparagus wrapped in bacon, meat balls filled with cheese... But I also shared my plates of food with the people around me, and I stuck to water instead of alcohol!
For dessert I had a 250cal chocolate chip crepe... but I split it in half with my husband!
Before I learned how to lose weight, I would have eaten all of that and more just by myself and I would have drank a lot of calories too!
I dreaded stepping on the scale this morning, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that the excess calories must have shocked the extra water weight out of my system and I weigh half a kilo less today than I did yesterday!
TL;DR: I think that you can be kind to youself and eat what you like on special occasions. But it's still important to make smarter decisions than you would have made before you started trying to lose weight. Moderation is key!

I’ve lost weight in the past. Lost 95 pounds over two years. The first 1/4 or so of that I was still living with my mom and brother and didn’t have a problem separating my food choices from theirs. The bulk of my weight I lost as I was dating my husband and then us eventually moving in together. He was also in the midst of losing a lot of weight. Well, here we are, three years later, having gained it all back plus more, and we’ve both had so many false starts.
I can’t figure out why I keep treating this like a thing we have to do together. I find it so much harder to get started and stay accountable if he isn’t doing it either. I should know by now that this is something I have to do on my own. But it feels so impossible to do.
Anybody have this same problem? How do you keep your food journeys separate from someone you are so close and intertwined with?

So here are my progress pictures with dates. From most recent to least recent.
Why I started to change my body, 2 reasons; The first one was that last summer when I went to go to bed I felt uncomfortable because when I laid down I could feel all this fat ontop of me, I could grip onto it and grab it and I felt absolutely disgusted with myself I decided that it was time to change, the second reason was that anime as silly as it may sound gave me the motivation to actually start working out, seeing how my favorite characters got so ripped, I wanted to be just like that and therefore I took an interest in fitness.
How I lost my first 15 pounds; just by being in a caloric deficit and intermittent fasting, I didn’t know what these 2 things meant at the time but somehow I did them without knowledge and my body changed in a matter of a week or 2 I was loosing weight fast like 3 pounds a week fast, (ik this can be unhealthy but my body surprisingly took it very well don’t recommend you do it)
I couldn’t loose weight after 130; when I hit 130 pounds I couldn’t personally loose weight just by being in a deficit and doing IT, I started working out, I did a lot of research and gained a lot of knowledge during this time. A lot of people suggested the workout program fierce 5 for beginners, did it for 2 weeks, came to the conclusion that it was garbage and made my own workouts ( they’ve been working so far )
And now here I am 123 pounds, my goal being to be as lean as possible and muscular, some may say I’m shredded but I’m not satisfied yet, the newbie gains are just starting to come in anyway (ik 123 pounds sounds ridiculously skinny but I’m 5’6 so it’s not that wierd) you can loose weight if you decide to but if you are, try to be as healthy with it as possible, if you need any help loosing weight or achieving your goals in general I’m happy to help just send me a message or even comment down here and I’ll respond, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink, I’m not a doctor nor anything but I have done a lot of research about fitness, I play soccer and I’m decent at it I guess and I now consider myself fitter than the average joe . Happy to help if you guys have any questions
Hi guys. I rapidly gained a lot of weight, and then I have steadily been gaining for about 3 years. I discovered that I had hypothyroidism a few months ago, and they have continued to up my medicine every few months since then. My school offers free workout classes, and I was attending those at least 4 or 5 times a week. I also attempted to do keto and intermittent fasting. Every time, it really made no big difference. I would lose maybe a pound or two and then it would come right back. I do not know what to do. I feel depressed and gross, and even my boyfriend has told me that he is unhappy with my weight gain as I was quite small when we first got together 4 years ago. I have been to the doctor, and they recommended keto and switching up my workouts. I have done all that I can think of. Does anyone else have a similar experience? I just want to go back to how I was before.
