Dining out

Tonight my partner took me out to dinner. We haven't had many opportunities to go out, and tonight was my weak spot.... Italian food.

I got a pasta which was HUGE, and if I'd been inclined, I could have eaten all of it. But for the first time ever, I looked at the dish, and recognised that it was way too much. Normally, if I don't eat all the "good stuff" I can, I feel like I'm missing out on something, but tonight I ate in moderation, and got the rest to take home for lunch tomorrow.

Still not the healthiest meal ever, but this is a big step for me!! Portion control has always been a nightmare for me, and I'm really proud of myself for not gorging and making myself feel gross!!

Little, consistent changes make big differences.

This is another guy trying to lose weight. Hopefully it will stick this time around.

I feel as though I keep sabotaging for myself whenever I start losing weight and I hate myself for it.

So quick background, 28yr old and have an 8yr old son. Most of my days are spent sitting at a desk because I am studying to become a fullstack developer, so not a lot of movement going on there. I am 197cm tall ( 6′ 5.5591″, thanks google translate) and weigh 136.7kgs(301.4 lbs), so I need to lose 40kgs(88.1lbs) which is a lot.

I used to be as heavy as 160kgs a few years back, but I managed to lose some, but it's far too slow and I am afraid of dying because of my weight before my son becomes an adult. I need to change things.

My plan is to post here daily to keep myself honest, even if I had a bad day, and also post pictures monthly of any progress I might have made. And hopefully in a years time I can look back at this thread and be happy with myself.

Today I will mostly study and later tonight I will meet up with my family and celebrate my cousin who turned 18, so there will be some drinking going on. I haven't been drunk or anything in almost 10 years so def not a regular thing. But there will be chips and popcorn there as well, so I will really try and stay away from that.

I have some pictures I just took of myself that will mark the starting point of this journey, but I can't seem to upload them here, so I will post them later if it's possible.

I'll check in at night when I come home or tomorrow morning. (Hopefully it's okay to use this as a sort of diary btw)

A little tip for someone starting out?

Hey! So, I'm an anxious person, and have lost a lot of will to actually do stuff to lose weight, I'm between 190-200 pounds with no muscle on my body and have really been trying to get down to 130 pounds at the least to be more comfortable with myself. I wanted to know if there was anything that helped you guys keep to losing weight and working out even when it felt there was no use to trying? Having been in the 200 range for some time, I had never been bigger than 200lbs, but it's been years since I've been smaller than 150. I have done light exercising in the past to try and get myself going, but often find myself giving up due to the anxieties or being put down by others. Though I have done rather well on my eating habits.

Are there any tips you have that had helped you keep going with your dieting and exercising?

[18y, 5'5, m, if that helps with anything.]

After losing 46lbs in 4 months, I just lost 20lbs in 9 days to my goal weight. 255-189lbs

First of all, I really appreciate the support this community offered as I came down from 255. It was a daunting task. But I made it. The past 9 days I just really wanted to get to my goal. I ate pickles, kimchi and a few other very low calorie foods and lost a lot in 9 days with a massive refeed in the middle. Check out the video I made documenting the experience if you're interested. I realize this isn't a sustainable way of eating.... but sometimes you just want to hit goal. I'm back on OMAD keto as of yesterday and maintaining at goal weight.

Just had my first weight gain in 4 months

This morning is my weekly weigh in. I’ve been losing 2lb pretty steadily every week since July 1. Last week I weighed in at 220.6 so I expected 218 or 219 but I’m at 221. I know it’s a minuscule amount of weight to gain and probably sounds stupid to complain about but if I’m honest I feel really disappointed. I know all the advice is going to be to keep my chin up and continue, that this doesn’t mean anything. It could be water weight, muscle mass etc. but it still feels disappointing.

I didn’t go for any walks because of bad weather but I worked out 5x this week (30min intervals). I may have restricted too much. I ate 1200-1300kcal each day and 615kcal on Wednesday because I knew I wasn’t getting out and about as much. Next week I’m returning to my 1500kcal a day diet and hopefully I can get back on track. But for now, this sucks. I need to learn to deal with a little weight gain better. How did you feel/cope after your first week where you were up?
