NSV Day 1

I’ve been trying to lose since early January but the scale hasn’t budged. Many reasons I suspect, but they can be summed up by saying I’m a very slow loser with autoimmune issues, get frustrated, and give up.

To combat that frustration I’m not weighing myself again until April 1st. I’m looking for daily victories in one or more areas including hitting my calorie target, completing a home workout, or getting 10,000 steps. I have a jar and beads I’m using to track my progress. The weight on the scale is not under my control. The foods and amounts I eat, exercise I get, and steps I get are under my control.

Today was day 1 and I hit my calorie goal and got in a 30 minute workout. 2 huge NSV’s and I’m proud of myself! I also unexpectedly got a time of month visit and STILL didn’t let feeling gross affect my effort. I came home not wanting to exercise and told myself “whether I feel like it or not doesn’t matter, I’m doing it anyway.” That will be my mentality going forward- I don’t have to want to do it. I just have to do it.

how long to keep weight off until it becomes my “natural weight”

So if I keep my diet & exercise habits as they are now, I will always hover a few pounds around my current weight, until my body starts undergoing metabolic changes, such as having kids, aging, growing taller etc. my current weight is my “natural weight”

Most people will gain back the weight if they revert back to old habits immediately, so I ask how long does someone have to keep weight off before that weight becomes the weight their body has adapted to? Their new “natural weight”? Or are we just doomed to get it all back unless we strictly follow the same routine for the rest of our life?

Weight loss log: IF + Working out

To keep myself accountable and have some sort of support system, I'm starting a public journal of my weight loss journey.

Current weight: 180 lbs Goal weight: 130 lbs

Here's my plan:

I start intermittent fasting (18/6) today, cut out processed foods and walk everyday. I've decided to not count calories to start with, because it makes me paranoid and has in the past become a reason I gave up.

I will update this post every day and keep it super brief!

Found a new app to stay motivated

Not sure how many of you have come across the MeThreeSixty app, but you can use it to scan your body and get measurements of chest/stomach/waist/hips/biceps/forearms/thighs and track your progress over time, which is pretty cool, but even cooler is the feature that allows you to visualize changes to your body as you lose weight. I think it’s good motivation to see how your body will change (see here for my example), it’s good motivation to see that stomach “melt” away!

Have been working out for a month and a half. No progress what am I doing wrong?

So I started working out about a month and a half ago. I do an arm, a leg and a back day and then a rest day. I don’t break the schedule.

I do 20 minutes of cardio all my workout days and my job requires me to be standing and moving all day.

I am also doing a 800 calorie deficit and noting all my intake.

I went from 274 to 269lbs on the first week. But over the last 6 weeks I haven’t lost a single pound. Am I doing something wrong or should I wait more?

Today, you start again

I had a terrible binge day yesterday - hello, PMS!! - and went from eating whole food plant based to vegetarian to fully omnivore in a matter of hours. I’m really disappointed in my binge, but even more that I ended up consuming a ton of dairy and processed goods which I had cut out for health reasons.

Cue this morning, and I wake up feeling like my post-nasal drip is running from the law and a terrible feeling in my mouth and in my stomach. Blergh 😖

BUT today is a new day, and I get to another chance to make better choices and to continue developing my mental / emotional muscles to make the dietary choices I want to choose.

So for whoever needs to hear it: good morning! Today’s a fresh start! Let’s do this 💕

Eating 1200-1400 cals a day and not really losing very much weight, any advice?

Hi, I have eaten basically the same few things for the last month or so and it sums up to around 12-14 hundred calories a day, I've lost around 5 kilos but recently I've just stopped losing weight. I don't usually log calories for lettuce and cucumbers, I have some daily but they're generally fairy low in calories and I don't eat them with sauce or anything so at most it would be adding an extra 100 calories to my daily budget.

For some more in depth context:

Breakfast (around 9am) - 2 crackers (60 cals), some kind of meat (60-80 cals), cheese (70-90 cals), yogurt (80-100 cals) - totaling to just under 300 calories

Lunch (1.30pm) - 5 store bought gyoza dumplings (140-180 cals)

Snack (before gym usually) - sugarfree redbull (like 3 cals), fiber one brownie (90 cals), 25g beef jerky (90 cals) - totaling to 180 cals

Dinner (5.45pm) - Oats (100 cals), Ham sliced (88 cals), 2 eggs (182 cals), cheese (maybe 25 cals, not sure) - totaling around 400 cals.

The sum total is ususally just around 1200 calories.

​

I do also go to the gym on a daily basis for about an hour, I do weights there, 5-6 sets of 8-10 reps per exercise with 1-2 minute rest in between. I don't like cardio and I think if I started doing it I'd stop enjoying the gym.

​

I started at 130kg, I am a 20 yr old woman and I'd say I'm more on the muscular side but idk if that's relevant. recently I've been stuck at 120kg and I'm not really sure why. Any advice or things to look out for?
