r/loseweight

I'm an overweight teen girl who has been trying to lose weight for years. Is it a good idea to stop eating sugar (sweets, chocolate...) and bread and also walk 10 000 steps a day? I'm 85 kg and would like to get down to 70 or 65. Does anyone have similar experiences or tips?

I'm a 17 year old female about to enter college this coming fall and I need advise on weight loss.

I've been pretty fat all my life and I'm sick of letting that rule my self image and life. I wanna have an amazing college experience and wear clothes I like.

I've been on diets since I was 12 but the thing I struggle the most with is consistency, I'll go strong for a few weeks and lose good weight but one bad day throws me off and i end up gaining double what I lost because I stress cook and when I stress cook I stress eat and that's the problem.

I'll take absolutely any tips you have whether it's on what exercises I should do or how many steps a day I should take. I'll also be completely open to advice on diet. I'm a vegetarian but i can eat eggs.

My sincerest thanks to anyone reading this and imparting your wisdom on me

i have ONE month to get from 70kg—> 57kg!! Please give me a lot of tips (doesnt matter if its unhealthy)

As a girl is it possible to -only- lose weight from my thighs? If possible how?

I’m starting to get into the gym. I’m 5’10 1/2 260 pounds what’re some tips and tricks for losing weight? Food wise, best workouts. I know nothing about the gym so I’ll take all the help I can get. Please don’t be rude. Thank ya in advance!

hey everyone, i am F23 and currently weigh around 85kg and i am 167cm tall (around 5’6). i am wanting to start getting healthier but im not too sure how. i have struggled with eating disorders in the past and have currently started calorie counting again. im not too strict with it as this is what started a disorder for me a few years ago.

i have definitely been eating less and better options than what i was before, but im seeing no progress after 2 weeks.

i work 7am to 6pm, so i have been waking up earlier to do workouts in my living room. this is often a youtube workout, and im thinking of trying a 30 day pilates challenge i found. i am also saving up for a walking pad.

i really just need tips please. i just want to lose weight but i dont know how. i tried eating less before but was almost 100kg so i started mounjaro and got myself down to 82kg but had to stop due to the cost.

if anyone has any tips please share

Honestly the biggest change was making everything way more boring.

A big part of this has been feeling less need to hide my body all the time. What actually changed things was not overcomplicating every week. More walking, simpler meals, more protein, less random snacking. Once I stopped treating every slip like a disaster, things started moving.

The logging side mattered because it stopped me from pretending one rough day meant the whole week was off the rails. Tracking how I felt each week honestly helped me stop second-guessing every little change.

Still more to do, but this is the first stretch that has felt repeatable instead of extreme.

Hey there!

I just started walking last week, and I'm an overweight guy. I'm aiming to hit 10,000 steps a day, and I'm proud to say that I've been achieving that! However, I could really use some motivation to get out of the house. I typically walk in the mornings, but sometimes I struggle to get myself going. If you have any tips or experiences to share, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks a bunch!

Two weeks without the scale moving and i'd normally spiral. But i pulled out some jeans i bought two years ago and they fit. Like actually fit, not the squeeze-and-hope kind. I've been lifting consistently and figured i was probably putting on some muscle while still losing fat. The math in my head says the scale should still be dropping if i'm in a deficit, but its just not. Been pretty dialed on protein, hitting around 190-200g most days. Calories are where they should be. Nothing in the routine changed. Is this a body recomp thing? Anyone else had the scale freeze up like this but still noticed changes in how clothes fit? Trying to figure out if i need to adjust something or just trust the process.

Hi everyone. I'm a 19 year old female and I'm 175 cm and 83 kg. I've been overweight my whole life and trying to lose weight ever since I was a child.

I have always loved eating, but the problem is that food aswell as weightloss is constantly in my mind. I wake up telling myself I'll eat less and always end up overeating. I really try hard everyday, but no matter what I do I give up because these thoughts are so strong and draining. I tried counting calories, not eating breakfast, not eating sugar and bread, fasting...I also tried to eat a normal amount and walk a lot. I also switch so quick between my "plans". Literally at 8AM I decide I'll count calories and at 9AM already delete the calorie counting app and decide it's better to just cut out sugar or something. At the end of the day I'm just dissapointed and sad. It's so draining especially because I want to look good. I just want to be normal weight and have a normal relationship with food but it seems impossible.

Does anyone have any similar situations or tips that could help me?

I am an obese man, I am 6 foot 4 inches tall and about 460 - 470 pounds, 26 years old, I work at a fast food restaurant and eat for free and don't really ever cook (Im aware that this in itself is a problem but so is money), back in December I forced myself to buy a gym membership and went consistently (pretty much only doing tread mill) for about a month or 2, when I suddenly got sick end of January, and I haven't been since unless a friend wants to go with me which is usually once every two weeks. My work schedule has been flip flopping like crazy and now I'm on overnights which I actually like but it doesn't help my demotivation to hit the gym... I decided recently that I would at the very least get a calorie tracking app just to see and maybe help me be a little healthier, I've tried 3 different apps, foodvisor, my fitness app, and yazio, and all 3 have my calorie count PER DAY at 3700 to 4100.... I KNOW that's not right surely and I'm wondering what is causing that?

For the record, I do input in the questioning part of the apps that I am NOT active, that I am fat, and am not healthy nor have any experience being so.

Another thing I'll add in case anyone feels like knowing or wants to help with some tips, I understand I am 'young' and even in a couple years I will feel the wrath. I've been to doctors recently for my problems with my ankles and had every test and work done known to man, to even my doctors surprise (her words) results came back normal except for a slightly high blood pressure which she said to watch but not worry about yet. I have low stamina of course but I honestly am a pretty energetic person so I know I have energy to spend, I can walk and move, Jump and run (all be it not high nor far for both). The only thing I've noticed I struggle with that normal people can do is putting socks on my left foot, I know it's odd as hell but for some reason my right leg can lift easy and I can bend it easily but my left definitely can't as easily or for aslong.

Anyway sorry for the weird long read, any app suggestions or help / tips would be greatly appreciated, I really am tired of being fat but genuinely feel like working out and eating better is all so overwhelming and I can convince myself easily to not do it each day but I'm honestly too broke for a dietitian or workout coach and feel like it's unnecessary if I can just stop being a fool and commit

I'm not particularly overweight or anything, but I feel like my face is a bit chubbier than the rest of my body and I have no idea how to lose it. Are there any exercises I need to do or would cutting sugar and eating less do just fine? Please help it's my biggest insecurity.

I’m on a weight loss journey with a diet (calorie deficit) and walking, and working out. Last year in February i was a 101kg - 222 lbs and then i started going to the gym in march and i got to 98 kg - 216 lbs. In july i started fasting and doing a calorie deficit as well as walking 10k steps a day and in the end of September i was 78kg - 171 lbs. Now since then some time has passed with a lot of unhealthy eating and Im at 81kg - 178 lbs. I already lost 2 kg in 2 weeks even if i had some unhealthy snacks in the middle because of easter and my birthday. Im trying to lose 30 kg - 66 lbs now so i would be at my proper weight. And my goal is to get it by the end of july.

I have always struggled with being overweight and have had large thighs and hips, stretch marks basically everywhere. And its not like im 30 or something. Im 18 and 173 cm - 5”8. And im worrying if im gonna have loose skin because im quite young and i don’t have that money to have a tummy tuck or any other procedures, but at the same time i want to loose this weight and fat as fast as possible.

What do you think do i have the risk of having loose skin? And maybe do you have any tips on how to treat that and healed stretch marks?

I would really appreciate some tips and advice!

I’ve been lifting and cardioing regularly and eating more since realizing I had been under-fuelling, but my stomach just won’t go away. I’m getting stronger and feel better in general, and yet the fat from under my chest all the way down to my lower belly just hangs around try as I might. Am I not seeing something with my training and diet, or is this just something I have to live with?

Hii, can you guys give me affective tips how to lose belly fat fast. Thank you🌸
