Diagnosed with a hernia & don't want to stop my weight loss?

Found out I have an umbilical hernia and need to know what exercises l can do?

l am going from running 5 miles and lifting every other day to whatever l can safely do? Any suggestions? l don't want to give up my weight loss and muscle gains so far. Anyone else have a setback like this? What did you do?

I have lost about 60lbs over the course of the last year and feel this may break the habits I finally made routine. Scary to think all this work might be reversed.

Thanks in advance!

Recently started loosing weight

I’m a 22 male and I recently started my weight loss journey. I really need to vent this out and no one is going to listen to me. I’ve been judged for being overweight my entire life, so much so, I was humiliated at a cousin’s wedding in front of the whole family for being fat. I got cursed for not being able to fit into the clothes that all the other guys were easily able to fit into it, how my chin was a handful, and how no one is ever going to want me. I’ve been the source of laughter for so many people just cause of how I looked when I ran, walked. I’ve been told that when I eat, I do so like an animal. I’ve been judged before for my weight to the point that plates have been removed from my face while I’d been eating. For the love of God even little kids never held back from humiliating me. Whenever I FaceTime with some people, all I have to hear is how I should eat less.

As much as I like to say that words don’t impact me, truth be told they’re brutal. They’re even more brutal when it’s family and friends. So fuck all of them. Fuck them for all the hurt they’ve caused me. Fuck them for all the times I’ve been targeted.

I’ve started this journey for myself. I’m going to become the best version of myself and I’m going to cut them off. They’ll never hear from me ever fucking again. I have goals and aspirations, and nothing is going to stand in between me and my goals. I know being obese is bad, and I will beat this. Every pound I loose is going to bring me an inch closer to my goals. I won’t back down ever. I know it will make my life better. And I’m determined to become the best version of myself. Today, I’m 8kgs down. 40 more to go.

If you read this far, thank you so much. You’re an Angel. And I hope you achieve everything it is that you desire in life. Best wishes of health and wealth to everyone.

Emotional/Bored eating for the past few days (Any advice how to stop?)

I was going on a diet because I'm not really happy with my appearance it was going really good

I was halfway through until something happened. It was a very stressful situation and I turned to food.I ate a lot these past few days/week? I do not really remember and I'm still going I feel like I cannot stop now Im trying to eat around 1500 calories since the calculator online told it was the 100% for me to maintain my weight and I feel like I'm getting fat. At first I tried to tell myself it was just water weight but my clothes are getting a bit tighter I think. I am so stressed out and Its affecting myself and the others around me. I eat alot in one sitting I used to be not like this. I wanna eat normally again but it seems like I have no self control. Its so frustrating. Im trying to eat low calorie snacks but I still end up eating alot of snacks because of boredom and emotions. I also tried eating meals but again I still end up eating alot. Im trying to write on a food diary now it helps a bit I think. Do you guys have any advice for this? I really don't want it to get worse I just wanna eat normally again.

Seem to have plateaued for a long time

I started actively working out in January 2020. From them till mid 2021 I've gone down from 97kg to 80 at my lowest.

But ever since then I've been yoyoing between 83-85kg... Can't seem to get it away.

I've tried omad/if/keto but nothing seemed to have worked much. I understand i might have gone calorie surplus easily without realising it.

To take things into my hand I tried to create a meal plan along with my workout schedule
( full body workout 5x in week and running 3 days a week )
I looked at online tdee measurement it quoted 3k per day and I've tried to limit daily calories for 1.8-2k, but i still an not losing fat/weight.....

NSV: I cycled my first half-century and it was fun & easy!

that's it, that's pretty much the whole post. on Sunday my friends and I did a rails-to-trail route called the Banks-Vernonia Trail, 47 miles out & back, and I had no problem keeping up/completing the whole thing. I know there are tons of cyclists who do this kind of mileage in one day every week, but it was the furthest I'd ever gone personally, and I feel really proud of and happy with myself.

it's been less than a year since I did my first "long" route (lol) on the Deschutes River Trail, of which I did ~12 miles. in that first picture (November 2021) I felt very accomplished, too; in the second photo from last weekend, I felt ecstatic (also yes my joints are very hypermobile!). can't wait to see where my new lifestyle will have me in 10 more months!

In case anyone needs a good laugh today!

SW : 74.6kg CW : 70.3kg GW : 65kg

So it all started yesterday as I was shaving my legs and I freaked out when I realized my calves were super firm as opposed to all floppy. I started walking a minimum of 1.5 hours everyday as opposed to just going out for groceries and it look like it is paying off! Second funny story, I was sitting down on the edge of my bed and looked down at my feet and they looked thin(ner) and even like I developped muscles down there?I always thought I had chubby feet like they were swollen( oh that reminds me of a terribly sad episode of downton abbey) and now they look normal. Can you lose weight in your feet and develop muscles?

Wanted to share a little W this week after feeling meh about my progress

I know that it’s super common to feel frustrated about your progress when you lose weight. Like, you know you’re losing weight because the numbers on the scale tell you you are, but the reflection in the mirror looks exactly the same as the one that was XX pounds heavier, ya know?

Around early June, I was cleaning out my closet after coming home from college for the summer. I tried on some old cargo shorts. They buttoned but were tight, and I also tried on pair of old jeans that I could not button up at all, lol. Also, at this point, I had already started losing weight, and I was pretty stoked that the cargo shorts even buttoned up at all, lol..

Yesterday, I decided to try out the shorts again since I’ve lost a few more pounds in the past three months. And BRO, they were loose! Not just a little loose, my guys, like I could shove my whole freaking forearm in there with me. I had to freaken wear a belt, A BELT! And this morning, I decided to try out the jeans, and guess what, guys? THEY BUTTONED UP, and they were even a bit loose :) LETS GOOOOO!!

Anyways I guess I’m really not the same person I was 61 pounds ago, and the work is paying off. Best of luck to everyone in their journey. We’ve got this! <3
