I’ve been in a calorie deficit for about 2.5 months and have lost roughly 1 stone and 10 pounds. This is extremely slow for me, and I’m feeling really frustrated by it.

Visually, I’m a little smaller around my waist, but overall there hasn’t been a dramatic difference, which is upsetting because I expected more noticeable changes by now. I haven’t been exercising much because I have a history of hypothalamic amenorrhea from over-exercising, so I’ve been trying to be careful not to overdo it this time.

Despite that, my period has also skipped this month for some reason, which is adding to my worry. I’ve been eating consistently around 1,300–1,400 calories a day, and I’m 5’4” for reference.

What’s confusing me is that usually after about three months of dieting, people tend to start noticing changes. Not a single person has mentioned anything to me, which I understand given the small visual difference—but I can’t figure out why the progress is so minimal overall. It’s starting to make me wonder if something like a thyroid/ hormone imbalance issue could be affecting things.

543lbs) to 265LBS. Lost 273 pounds in 2.5 years and not where I want to be still pushing. NO OZEMPIC OR GLP.

My name Is Johnny, from Texas originally just recently moved to Florida! Im 29 spent most of youth being extremely obese. One day I decided I had enough. Went cold turkey and haven't looked back. I tried all the gimmicks, did one surgery the lapband. Lost 80 pounds but gained it back and more all the way to 543.

Only thing that works if you change your mind, before you change your diet 😉

I decided to get into the Roofing Industry in sales. Had to make a transition mentally aswell. Hardest part was accepting im not the same person.

You learn human nature to the core seeing how people you knew all your life treat you differently. Not bitter! Just observant :)

I learned to cherish and value those people who treated me the same.

Im not boasting lol but I can say honestly Ive had much more success with the ladies.

I was counted out & basically lived that life in "600lb pound life"

I decided I was worth more than that.

The point of the this post is to hopefully reach that one person who thinks its too late or the goal is to far to reach. If I could do it, YOU GOT THIS!

Please feel free to message me or ask anything literally.

I'm 24 and recently had my first born son back in March and decided I wanted to change I've been eating healthier I stopped drinking* I think that's where most of my weight came from* and I've been running but I'd love to start going to the gym and get some pointers or tips thank you in advance

Top photos are Jan 19th- 221.1lbs

Bottom photos April 20 -208.5 lbs

Height 5’6” Goal weight 165lbs

Slow and steady🫡losing about 1 pound per week.

I walk everyday and get about 5k+ steps a day, gym twice a week lifting heavy, tracking calories and eating in a calorie deficit

I have noticed since I increased my protein intake in January, I stay full waaaay longer. I used to be thinking about food constantly and always needing a snack but increasing protein has been such a game changer for me. Anyone else feel that ?

same pants, some time apart. while i'd realized the need for a belt, i didn't remember just how tight these pants were when i was at my heaviest until i came across these pictures. the zipper literally didn't stay closed all the way!

also, even though you can't really see it, the chain attached to my belt loops hangs lower now.

first two pictures: ~110 kg

(goal weight: 60 kg)

and the progress continues...

Hi! I’m new here. I started my weight loss journey in June of 2025. I had the gastric sleeve surgery June 9th, 2025. I have lost over 100 pounds. My starting weight was 325 and I’m currently at 197. Pics are the day before surgery and the current on is from Saturday. I go to the gym 3X a week and drink water all day long. It’s been a journey! My goal is 140.

This is my progress as of right now! I am a 5’8” 21 y/o woman and as of right now my weight has been sitting around ~125lbs. At the start of my journey I was 165lbs. I unfortunately don’t have any photos from before December 2025, but I started calorie counting and consuming 1000-1200 calories a day in June of 2025. I started going to the gym and strength training 5x a week in January.

My daily calorie intake is 1200 and I eat 120-130g of protein daily. I don’t really focus on carbs and fats, but I do keep my eye on them while tracking my intake on MyFitnessPal

I go to the gym 5x a week Monday-Friday, my currently routine is Upper (Back & Biceps), Lower (Quads & Glutes), Cardio & Core, Upper (Shoulders, Chest, & Triceps), Lower (Hamstrings & Glutes)

‼️GUIDANCE/ADVICE NEEDED‼️

As I mentioned, my weight has been sitting around 125lbs. This has been the case for a little while now. My lowest weight has been 122.6lbs but I can’t seem to get any lower than that despite being in a calorie deficit. I have more details covering my weight loss journey on my page, but overall I would just appreciate any advice moving forward on how to decrease my weight (My goal is 120lbs)

Gym. Pilates. Peptides. Calorie Deficit. 💪
