Need some advice people

I’m a 20 year old male, I went to college to play football, I ended up quitting last year, but if anyone knows the one bad thing about being a college football player is the fact that you need to be big, both muscular and weight, which I was....... I’m 6,6 and 320lbs, that was fine for when I was still playing but now that I’m done I wanna cut down to 265lbs by August/September i tried fasting and the keto and I lost some weight but I was never consistent. I’m fully motivated now and I’m gonna go the whole 9 yards with meal prep and everything but I was just curious what diet plan works! I’m committed to buy whatever it may be for the diet plan or anything, I would like a plan that gives me a shopping list for each week on what I need to get so I can meal prep for that! Any suggestions out there! Thank you!

Current height: 6,6 Current Weight: 320

Goal Weight: 265-270

Goal Weight to be achieved by August/September, thank you!

Struggling with losing weight

I posted this on the Q&A page but didn't get an answer, so I am hoping to get some answers here

I'm 19 years old ( F ) , 157 cm and weigh 100kg .

Recently I have had trouble losing weight especially since the gyms are closed. My history with my weight was not the best. I slowly slowly gained weight through highschool but it was never evident since I played sports. Then three years ago (80kg) I decided I was going to work towards losing weight by going to the gym, which was evidently working.

However half way I was hit with depression and lost all motivation. Due to this, my weight spiralled out of control for 2 years leading me to gain a lot of weight.

At the start of this year I finally managed to get myself under control and started to go to the gym frequently. But then, Corona hit and i found myself in the same loathsome situation.

I've tried counting my calories, eating smaller portions and making sure I spread my meals apart. However that's not helping me lose weight, it's only mainting the current weight I have...

I don't consider my eating habits to be unhealthy. I mostly eat home cooked food (even before corona), I don't eat that much meat, I eat a lot of veggies. If I'm craving a sugar food I'll have a small treat once in a while so I don't relapse. I've cut off all soda drinks. So I'm not sure what else there is to it.

I'm really desperate at this point and need some advice

NSV: I don’t own any of the clothes that I had when I was at my heaviest

SW: 336 CW: 260 GW: 199.9

Growing up I was always the big kid. The kid who was picked last during recess, the kid who huffed and puffed during the mile run, the kid who was the largest in the class by far. When I went to college and was on my own for the first time, I ate out 5-6 times a week, would lay for hours watching Netflix...overall an actual vegetable. I knew I wasn’t healthy but I didn’t think I was THAT bad. But I was. I never learned nutrition, I never learned about exercise, never learned how good to feels to nourish my body.

ANYWAYSS

I started getting healthy in June of 2017 but wasn’t healthy about it. I went to the gym for at least two hours a day seven days a week, ate maybe 1250 calories a day, and worshipped my scale. I was to the point where if I wasn’t losing a pound a day (yes a DAY) I felt disappointed.

After six weeks of this I was burnt out and found this sub. I learned how to live by “eat to live, don’t live to eat”. By making that my eating mantra plus making sustainable life changes like drinking a gallon of water a day (hard af at first but you get used to it) and making sure I got at least 7500 steps a day I managed to lose 75 pounds!!

Given I’ve lost the average weight of 100 cans of beer, all of my clothes are too big. Naturally I was super excited at first. I put them all in a bag in my living room where they sat for six months. I saw the bag every day but couldn’t make myself donate them. Why didn’t I take them to Goodwill or Salvation Army or any of the other 100 second hand stores in my city? Well it’s because it made me anxious. I was so scared I was going to gain the weight back even though I have been maintaining my current weight for about a year.

BUT TODAY I DID IT! I took them to Salvation Army! Every single shirt, dress, pants, jeans—they’re all gone and have slowly been replaced with clothes that fit me for now. I’m really proud of myself for finally taking the clothes out of my apartment. I still have a ways to go and I’m sure all of the clothes now will be donated one day as well.

So if you’re like me and anxious that you’ll gain the weight back and then have to buy bigger clothes again, just take the plunge! You’ve got this, my dude.

I Need Advice

Today’s been a hard day.

I’m a long time lurker of this sun and I finally need to post.

I work at a health facility and because of COVID and not wanting to risk my residents getting sick I’ve been ordering a lot of take out. I finally stepped on the scale at my work today and I unfortunately hit the weight I said I would never break. I’m officially 203 pounds. I’m so distraught I said I would never be this heavy in my life.

Anyways, I really need help with advice on where to begin my weight loss. I’ve tried in the past and have had no success. I’ve recently started trying to do better by deleting my take out apps and cutting soda. I don’t know what else to do.

I would love some suggestions on how to get started on working out with gyms being closed and some dietary tips. Anything is greatly appreciated.

Should I buy clothes even though I'm (trying) to lose weight?

Hey guys!

So I'm more overweight than I ever was before, and a lot of my nice clothes either don't fit as well as they did or at all. I want to buy new clothes but I'm torn. On the one hand, I'd like to have nice clothes I feel good in. However, I don't want to spend a bunch of money on clothes if I won't be able to wear them or if they'll be too big on me once I lose weight. I also kind of want to use it as motivation to lose weight, but I don't know if that's a form of self-punishment or not.

Do you guys think it's worth it to buy new clothes? Also, have any of you been able to wear your larger clothes after losing weight?

5 months in....

This is my first reddi post ever! I have been on my weight loss journey 5 months now (since Jan. 1 2020). I have been a morbidly obese diabetic since March of 2009. I had been overweight for the majority of my life (currently 38).

Since January I have lost 58 pounds on the keto (low sugar and carbs) diet. I am posting because I am looking for other ways of support to keep me encouraged and develop a community.

Thank you to all of you for posting your victories and defeats! It is so encouraging! For those waiting to start your weight loss journey....the time is now! For those who feel defeated...You can do this!

Down 88 Lbs today

88Lbs down I started doing keto July 19th because my doctor said I needed to lose weight and put me on bp medicine. I was 264lbs and the doctor scared me enough for me to stick to whatever I was going to do. 2 weeks in I discovered intermittent fasting, and started doing 16/8. I did well with that was losing weight quickly, 2 weeks later, one day (because of work) was too busy to eat lunch. I didn’t realize until later I hadn’t eaten. From that day on I switched to one meal a day. I eat around 6 and make sure I get about 1800 calories in that one meal. I dropped weight fast, I got down to 180 on January 22nd. I stayed there until March 22nd then went to 179. 2 days ago I hit 178, and my body decided to stop the stall I guess because I’m at 176 today! If you decide to do what I did, my advice would be gradually go into one meal a day!
