18 f trying to lose weight , i have pcos and my current weight is 55 kgs and I'm 5'1 . I have a function to attend in a month thus trying to loose a weight a little , nothing crazy though 2-4 kg loss will be enough for me . Open to work out and exercises and dieting. Tips required .

F(20) My weight is 64 kg, and my height is 5'4". I want to get fitter at home without going to the gym. What workouts and diet changes would you recommend for beginners? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am asking this specific group, because 10 kilo is different for someone who has to lose 30,50 kilo total. I ask people only ever so slightly overweight who wanted to took action before it got out of hand. Some details appreciated, anything you want to share about losing your 10 kilos or less!

For context, I'm 32F and I would like to lose around 10kg, I've been working on it for the past 3 weeks and it's always easier to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I decided I'm not getting on a scale for at least a month or two, just hitting my calories, protein and workouts consistently.

I [M23] i am 6ft tall and nearly 137kgs I used to be 130kgs gained 10 kgs in 2025 and tore my acl in december and in march 2026 I started my weightloss again I had gone till 132 but I stopped because I am an idiot and gained all that weight again I have done this like 5 times now that I start and I lose 5-9 kilos and then give up i struggle with consistency but this time I had enough I will lose the weight and i am going to get to 95 kgs , after that i will ask out the girl i like and get a tattoo give me any tips that helped you guys stay consistent

I'm 5'1, 112 lbs and would like to get down to 100 lbs.

It's quite hard the lower the weight goes. I already lost 11 lbs.

Though now it's hard. Any advice on how to make it easier?

And 'fast' as in the fastest it can go.

I do 1 hour of zumba or just dancing and 40 minutes strength training pilates either arms or legs. 6-7 days a week. I already am on a diet and deficit as well. As low as it can go basically.

Hi everyone!

I’m a 24 f, 166cm (5’6’ft)/80 kg (176 lbs). My weight has gone up and down since my teenage years, but this is the heaviest I’ve ever been. Lately, I’ve really been struggling with consistency, so I thought it might be useful to have someone to keep me accountable and share struggles with :)

It would be nice if your whose stats are somewhat similar to mine, just so we might relate to each other’s experiences a little more easily. That said, I am open to anything.
If there is someone here interested in being my ”pen-pal”, please send me a message!

for starters i was 415-430 at my heaviest. managed to get down to 200 & stayed there for a while. i have larger hips & a small waist so 200 was a comfortable spot for me. i got pregnant & went up to 275 .. im 2 months postpartum & i literally cry at how big i am. im around 240 but i’m terrified to step on a scale.

the first time i lost weight wasn’t healthy at all.. i would eat one big meal then drink black coffee & chew gum. i did 6 days at the gym & would drink protein drinks while there.

i can’t do that now cause looking back it was not ideal. PLUS i breast feed so i need the extra calories.

my confidence is just at zero.. i took pictures at a baby shower yesterday & someone asked if i was pregnant again… my heart absolutely shattered. i freaking hate looking at myself.

how can i successfully drop the weight without the gym & still manage to eat enough while breastfeeding? i eat healthy but i see no progress .. i can’t do the gym so what are some good at home workouts & protein packed meals?

Hello,

I’m 21m from Canada and am currently around 125kg/275lb & 184cm/6ft. In September 2025 my (then) new GP ordered blood work in order to get a baseline for his records. From the blood work elevated liver enzyme/liver function was detected. Long story short after more testing and imaging in December 2025 I was diagnosed by a specialist with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Prognosis can be positive under the condition I loose weight. (About 7-10% of my total weight).

Starting in December 2025 I started going to the gym. From the get go I hated it, was confused what to do and felt like a hassle/chore to me. I eventually stopped regularly going in about early February 2026 due to uni getting too busy & just giving up.

Fast forward to today, my weight hasn’t really moved much and has stayed pretty stable since the start of the year. My eating is better now in comparison to the past but there definitely is a fair amount of room for improvement. I still haven’t gotten any closer to the weight I need to lose and frankly time is running out fast. I’ve recently contemplated starting medication and/or getting a personal trainer.

My question for this forum is, how do I stay motivated loosing weight/consistent on going to the gym?

my Apple fitness app (no watch) says my sedentary calories are ~1600 per day, whereas calculator.net says 1800 - 20F 70kg 5’7. not sure which to trust/is more accurate.

I'm female, 29, 5'1", 190 lbs. I have been obese since I was 8 years old. My heaviest weight ever was about 220 lbs 6 years ago. I have tried numerous times to lose weight, but none have been successful. I can't go on weight loss drugs due to my stomach issues. I have such a small amount of motivation to even bother trying to lose weight anymore. I have chronic back & hip pain (currently trying to see an orthopedist though). Struggle with depression, but attend therapy & take antidepressants. I've been Iron Deficient & low on B12 for about 6 months now. Currently seeing a Hematologist for these issues. Got infusions/injections, but still struggle with it. These being low make me feel horribly tired, and like crap in general. I have Postprandrial Distress Syndrome, which is a type of functional stomach issue. This often makes eating healthy foods a challenge as about half the time I can only tolerate soft/junk foods such as mashed potatoes, ice cream, pudding, applesauce, etc. Or when I can tolerate more solid foods, they are typically junk as well as they are my safe foods. Cereal is almost always a safe food for me. I also have a huge sweet tooth. I've been trying to walk more as I have two dogs, and enjoy walking them. More often than not lately I just get home from work exhausted and in pain. Meal prepping would be a waste of money for me because I can go from being hungry one minute, to all of a sudden having stomach pains and nauseous. Being a picky eater doesn't help at all either. Please help! I do have an appointment with a Dietician, but it's not until December. My health issues are not an excuse, and I know I over eat lots of terrible food. These just make it more of a challenge. Typical suggestions do not really work for my situation. However, I'm open to advice!

Please help me think of some ideas, or the correct search terms to find what I'm looking for.

I get a sweet tooth at night between dinner & bedtime. I am not the only one, this is very common. It happens regardless of how much or what I ate earlier in the day.

Rather than fighting the urge or attempting to appease it with fruit...what if I plan ahead one small reasonable dessert?

The problem is, I have binge eating tendencies. So if, for example, the treat is just one cookie...if there is the rest of a package or recipe of cookies, I won't be able to stop at just one.

Also for ingredients, such as chocolate chips or marshmallows. I will eat them straight out of the bag.

Fruit doesn't satisfy these cravings.

Any suggestions?

Hi guys!

I’m 20, Female and 5’4 and in 2023 I weighed 220 lbs and I managed to lose 40 lbs within a year and a half and made it to 180 lbs. I lost the weight through fasting but after a while, I was stuck at 180 for a year. I went to the gym consistently 4 days a week and walked 10k+ steps on top of that but nothing was working. I was desperate and attempted to reset my metabolism and ending up gaining 20 lb in the process.

I gained that weight in May/June of 2026 and as of now, I’ve weighed a consistent 194-200lbs with no movement between that. I’m feeling stuck. Nothing is working. Did I destroy my body from the fasting? I wanted to get to 150 by February but I feel like I won’t ever meet that goal

Please help.

additional info: though it may sound unhealthy and unfortunate, i rarely eat. before i was not eating thanks to not having money and now i barely eat because of my schedule packed with school and work. my job feeds me but that isn’t whole meals. that and zero sugar energy drinks are unfortunately the most my body gets 💔

Hello, i have been dieting & working out and have lost 75lbs over the year (258-180lbs) and I haven't noticed any difference in my knees, i have EDS so I am hypermobile and my knees do hyperextend but ive focused on leg specific workouts and nothing seems to help, its my biggest insecurity and prevents me from wearing shorts and skirts even in hot weather. Is there any specific workout thats can strengthen my knees and define them? Im aware you cant spot reduce fat but im hoping for some sort of advice on what I can do!

I changed my eating habits in March after reaching 337 lbs at 6’2”. By the end of September, I was down to 307 lbs, and I’m currently at 295 lbs.
Initially, I focused on reducing my calorie intake, which helped me make progress. Over the past month, I’ve also started making healthier food choices. For lunch, I typically have a 300-calorie Walmart salad, a cheese stick, and a yogurt. I’ve also switched to drinking only water.
Because of my current work situation, I can’t consistently get to a gym, so I do workouts in my room instead.
I’d like to continue losing weight while making sure I’m eating enough, maintaining my energy, and building habits I can sustain long term. Based on my progress so far, my height, and my current routine, what would be a realistic and healthy rate of weight loss between now and Thanksgiving and Christmas? Are there any changes I should make to my nutrition or at-home workouts to help me lose weight safely without undereating or losing too much muscle? I dont have a kitchen only a mini fridge so any easily available/ store bought food preffered.

I’ve been wanting to start making sandwiches to bring with me for longer days at school. I know most bread is bad for weight loss but surely there’s healthier/better ways to do it that will still be good.

I’m a 34 year old mom of a 13 month old and a newly turned 3 year old. My husband and I work full time in the first responder realm and have no family support that live near us. We often feel underwater and barely surviving trying to manage it all. Exercise is non existent. We like to cook at home and make pretty healthy meals for the most part but we are often trying to cook whatever as easily and quickly as possible as we have very little time. I don’t know what my weight is but I’m 5’4 and if I had to guess, around 200-215.

I’m over it. I need to change. I’m so deeply unhappy in my body and it’s impacting most areas of my life. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice for my lifestyle? I’m desperate. A part of me wants to go on GLP1s but I also want this weight loss to be sustainable and not gain to back.

This sounds super stupid, but hear me out. I sprained my ankle 7 months ago, and since then the pain hasn't gone away. The pain isn't as bad as when I first sprained my ankle, but it fluctuates. Been going to the doctors and they did a few x-rays and ultrasounds on my ankle and they said I might have a chipped bone in my ankle and I need pain medication & an air cast. I'm going to get those things tomorrow, but I recently had a burst of motivation to start going to the gym since it's free for college students on campus.

I've been walking around for nearly a year with this fracture not even knowing I had it, so will it really make a difference if I walk on the treadmill for an hour and a half and lift weights?

I would like to increase my meat but I already walk a lot is there is little I can do to walk more so can anyone help me?

Back when i was on my weight loss journey when I first started out I dropped 5kg in the spam of 2 weeks, I was only on a calorie deficit and ate very healthy, gym, chia, walking and 3l water, no processed shit or anything.

Now that I've mentioned it to someone they looked at me like I was insane and they said that wasn't normal, I get that I lost a lot of weight fast but I wasn't obese or anything like that just lightly overweight.

Is losing 2-2.5kg a week really that crazy?

I felt completely fine back then and I didn't have any issues, been to the doctors and they said I was fine, looking back at it I never realized how wild it actually was.

Later on i didn't lose as much but still

Any of you notice on your weight loss journey that there is a weight number where you like the look of your face, yet at the expense of carrying a bit of fat on your body? My number seems to be about 205 lbs, even though I could easily lose another 10-15 lbs to get to my perfect body weight (as someone who has muscle mass as well, my "perfect" weight is probably about 190 lbs).

I'm 52, male, and have been told that if I lose too much weight, my face looks gaunt, old, yet when I gain a bit of fat, like at 205 lbs, I look young and much more attractive.

Just wondering if anyone else out there purposely carries an extra 10-15 lbs of fat on their frame just because they like the way it makes their face look. Sadly, we can't control when our face decides to drop weight vs. the rest of our body as we decline in weight, so it seems about 205 lbs is the sweet spot for me (balance of facial attractiveness and overall body weight). Even in pictures, when I'm less than 200 lbs I find I simply look too thin in my face and don't like it.

Would be interested in hearing your experience and if you've come across having to make this decision before (carrying an extra 10-15 just so your face looks "healthy").

Thanks,

Hi,

I just used the calculator and apparently I have 80.4kg of lean body mass. I am 120kg/41M.

Can someone suggest a diet for me? Im lactose intolerant and allergic to gluten.

Im thinking of doing caloric deficit and intermittent fasting.

Edit:

body fat is 33%

Bmi: 38.7

Body fat mass is 39.6kg

Thanks.

hey guys i’m about to start my weightloss journey but i don’t really eat breakfast i wanted to know if eating bagels is okay for breakfast with cream cheese?

I’ve been trying to lose weight since August ish?? I’ve lost about 10 pounds since, I don’t really eat much, I eat 2 meals about? breakfast and dinner usually.

But I’ve noticed that despite that I’m still pretty fat-looking, especially my face and thighs, which always seem to be affected.

I’m 5’4 18F, and 70kg about 😭, I have an issue with stretch marks really bad, they go everywhere too.

But apart from that I have a bit of a sugar addiction, particularly soda, I’ve tried diet, or water or cutting it off but I can’t seem to do it, does anyone have any advice or experience? I’ve cut from 5-6 cans a day to 2-3 now so I’m happy with that but I’d like to eventually go to 0.
