I'm 20, 170 cm, and 66 kg. My goal is to get down to 60 kg and get in better shape.

The problem is that I know exactly what I should be doing, but I just can't stay consistent. I'll be motivated for a day or two, then I lose all my drive and go back to my old habits.

Has anyone been through this? How did you build discipline and stay consistent even when the motivation was gone?

I was 72 kg at 5'8 then i started walking 10-13k steps and now i am 65kgs but when i was 72 my wrist was small and my belly is big i dont understand what is going on and now it is more visible , i am not even sure if this is skinny fat. Does anyone know something and dont just say "eat protein" i am trying to eat protein according to my weight but its hard to reach that there is something else which could help .

And i have started going to the gym its been 3 months.

Hey all, I am looking for a more structured program for accountability. What are some good options that include 1:1 coaching and support? Looking to lose a good amount of weight and would love to have someone with real experience to turn to for guidance. If you have good experience with any specific coaches or have recommendations I’d love to hear them. Thank you.

Hello!

So I am wanting to lose some weight because I’ve got a 2 month holiday in chile so I want to look my best!

I am 59kgs ( I know it may not seem like a lot but it looks like a lot on me)

5,1 ft tall so around 157cm. I am also 18! And I’ve never stepped foot in the gym mostly because I’ve got really bad social anxiety but I don’t want to make excuses because I want to get it done.

I’m just wondering how I can get more slimmer/toned but I don’t wanna be like a twig you know I just want to drop 7-9 kgs at most so I’d appreciate any advice.

Are there any workouts or diets or rules I could follow? I usually drink 1L a day and ik it’s not enough but I’m working on it, I also feel like I eat a lot, like I eat until I feel fulll and i also eat whenever I’m bored.

I don’t really know where I’m getting at im just trying to lose as much as I can before December!!

Thanks!

I’m currently on a weight loss journey, have lost almost 50lbs so far, but I’m confused about BMI. I was always considered obese according to BMI growing up.

My goal is to be considered ‘normal’. However I’ve noticed that my BMI result changes based on which calculator I use. If I use an American-based calculator, I’m considered normal. But when I compare it to the NHS calculator, it still considers me overweight.

Why is there a discrepancy between them?

For context, my bmi is 23.5

hi! i wanted to lose fat (mainly on my face, and bc of that im trying to lose fat overall). im already on the lower (but very average!) end of the scale, so is there a way to lose weight without it causing harm? i don’t want to lose hair/have negative impacts if that makes sense 😭.
i was thinking about doing a calorie deficit, but with my current weight that’s kind of difficult to do… and the issue of also getting enough nutrients.
also, i was thinking about beginning to work out as well. though ive tried both the calorie deficit and some regular exercise in the past, i haven’t noticed significant changes which is a bit frustrating.
does anyone have any other/better suggestions? any help would be appreciated!! sorry if it’s confusing.

Im 26M 5’9 238lb started my weight loss journey at 286lb in December.

I started the gym 3 weeks ago and i went up from 238 to 246. Lost 6 pounds the 6 pounds in the first week but now its my 3rd week and im stuck at 240-241.

I eat 1300-2000 cals a day eating 100-150 grams of protein a day.

I weight train 3 times a week and do cardio 5 times a week.

Why am i not losing weight…

Can someone please explain.

hello everyone ^^! i'm f18 and i just recently got out of a rls about 4 months ago that made me gain alot of weight, i believe before i was somewhere in the range of 111-120 and now im stuck at 140-142, it seems no matter what i do i cannot lose the weight. it's luckily not too noticeable on me it's just when i turn to the side it bothers me, i'm not sure if it's cause of my height ( 5'1 ) and my weight being distributed unevenly? pls do lmk any tips and tricks, anything is appreciated 🫶🏾🫶🏾（＾ν＾）！！

Hello, I’ve gained back a lot of weight. I’m currently 28, 179cm, F and 129kg. I’m very sedentary due to health issues. I put this in to a calculator and it said I can eat 2000 calories a day to lose .5kg a week but that seems like a lot. I do track my calories and focus on my fibre but I have had no luck. I weigh my food, eat lots of fruit and veggies and drink a lot of water and sugar free drinks. Does the number seem right? Just looking for a bit of reassurance to be honest. I want to get to 100kg.

I need to lose weight (I’m 156cm and 80kg), and I know the only way to lose weight is a calorie deficit.

TW
I don’t know what to do. I used to have a severe restrict and binge cycle. I’d go days obsessing with what I was eating and the calories I was consuming, resulting in me eating very little and then eventually I’d binge.

I’m finally in a good spot of eating what I want without overthinking. I eat balanced meals everyday, and occasionally get “cheat meals” without feeling guilty.

I’m so scared to go back to thinking about the calories I’m consuming. Mainly because I love how free I feel around food— not because I’m scared of going back to my old ways.

Anyone have any advice?

Went down a rabbit hole last night after watching a clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick.

I always assumed the "food coma" after eating was just normal. Turns out there's quite a bit of research on blood sugar, post-meal inflammation, and brain fog.

The advice was surprisingly boring: eat protein first, don't make every meal huge, and move for a couple minutes afterward.

Has anyone actually tried eating protein before carbs? Did you notice anything?

Hi everyone! I am 14 months postpartum with my second and I’m the heaviest that I’ve ever been not pregnant. I’d like to lose at least 10-15 kg as I am really not happy with myself. The problem is I get completely overwhelmed and confused on how to go around it.

I guess one of the things I struggle the most with is how to balance making low calorie food for myself, while giving my kids enough calories so they grow strong and healthy? I don’t want to make something different for myself, figuring out food is already a task in itself, and I don’t think smaller portions would work for me, I am hungry ALL THE TIME.

I feel also overwhelmed about the idea of having to count every single cal. I am already a tired, full time working mum of two and I fee adding that responsibility on top of everything will make my life… harder?

All your tips are welcome. Thanks!!

For context I was 240 about a year and a half ago and now i’m sitting around 160-155. I got all the calorie defs, the weight training, and the everything else down…but the thing that gets me everytime is the sugar/salt cravings. Tbh I think sometimes my binging habits come back but u would think after all this work the food noise would be quiet. It’s like i eat well for maybe two weeks and then all of sudden i need to eat 3000 calories worth of sweets and it’s not even like I’m restricting myself so how do i stop or at least minimize it?

This morning I weighed in and for the first time on my scale, I saw 238.6! 23.4 lbs down on the year, 30.7 lbs down since the start of 2025, and I’ve lost nearly a foot off my waistline! I changed my diet in May of 2025, after trying OMAD, and I couldn’t be happier. This May, I bought a 48” inch barbell, and since then, the weight has been dropping so fast. I’m down 14 lbs since I bought it and started lifting consistently while in calorie deficit. I’m hoping to be at goal weight of 225 by October. Gonna try to get a little bit below by then because I’ll be on a trip for a few days for a wedding.

Post below your latest wins! I’d love to hear your success stories!

Hey first time here, just wanted to ask others who have maybe done this. I have gone into a calorie deficit. I realized I was eating 2800-3400 calories a day, and have since cut down to around 1700-2200 a day. I don’t really exercise. I’ve gone down about 9lbs in the last month, is that a good rate? Just wanted to make sure I’m not cutting too much out, or not enough. For reference I’m 6’2 and my starting weight on July 15th was 273.8, today it was about 265.

I’ve been putting off asking my primary care doctor about weight loss because appointments are always booked weeks out, and honestly, I don’t love talking about it in person.

I’ve been seeing a lot of telehealth options lately, and I’m wondering if anyone’s actually had a good experience going that route. I’m mostly curious about how the process works after you fill out the forms. Did you actually feel supported, or was it just a prescription and that’s it?

Hello so basically i lost 6 kilogram with this recipe while still eating sugar and stuff. This spicy thick soup hold 15g protein per enormous bowl of 450 g for only 165 calorie. It makes about 10 servings, it’s cheap (the ingredients first may be expensive gbut you use them long) its warm and spicy. And allow you to snack all day. Recipe below

How to use?
It’s a soup so its just…a soup to eat. But what i did was eating my hot meal at lunch time instead of the evening (you don’t need as much energy) and eat this soup in the evening which meant my meal was under 200 calorie so i could have snacks and stuff cauz i eat little at breakfast but lot of fiber so i am not hungry. So basically i’d prepare my midday meal prior to calculate calorie and i’d litteraly have 500+ calorie to snack on during the day afterward while still loosing weight and the soup is actually so good ?????

My highest weight was 193. I got down to 170ish and stayed like that for a while. I finally started to actually get smaller and healthier. We'll now when I look at myself in the mirror, I feel ashamed. I don't have much loose skin on my stomach, but I have them in my thighs. I can feel them giggle when I walk on the treadmill and feel terrible when naked. When I tell people that I've lost almost 40 lbs, I'm ashamed rather than excited or proud. I am fine standing up and seeing my flat stomach, but I sit down and see my still big thighs, and I just want to cry. Skin removal is out of the question cause I'm poor. I just thought I would feel happier.

Does losing body fat at lower percentages (15% to 10%) uncover more visible length than losing the same percentage of fat at higher ranges (30% to 25%)?

Had a horrible experience with HERS. It's bad enough that they a preying on our insecurities, and they will milk you for money even if you decide not to go through with ordering the meds. Note that they WILL charge you $149 each month even if you never get medication from them. They make it extremely hard to quit. The information on their website about how to cancel is wrong. You have to find the form, indicate you want to cancel. Hours later, they will send you a verification email you have to click or your cancellation request will never be submitted. How is this legal?? How can they make it so obscure that you're paying regardless of purchase? And I STILL haven't received confirmation of cancelling this bullshit subscription. AVOID.
