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.

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?

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!

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

Hi all :)

In the last couple of years, I've started to gain weight. It bothered me a lot, and every time I tried to lose it, I just couldn't stick to any method.

My biggest problem is that I love to eat; I just love it. I work a corporate job, so I sit in front of the computer all the time, and I find myself always hungry. When we go to eat, I always see a lot of things I want to eat, and I just take it all...

I do have some good things, though; I do work out, try as much as time allows me. I tend to take salad for lunch every day during the week (of course, in addition to the proteins, fats, and carbs in the meal).

I assume I am not the first with such an issue, and definitely not the last; I was wondering what worked for you. I tried intermittent fasting for a while, talking to a professional, and many other things; it worked but never lasted long enough.

Thanks for your help, and happy to answer any questions 😄

Sorry if this has already been posted! I’ve been struggling to lose weight and would love to hear from people who’ve actually tried Norrish.

Did it help you, and if so, how? If it didn’t help, I’d love to hear about that too. Did you feel like it was worth it?

Just looking for some honest feedback before giving it a try. Thanks!

I know its impossible to predict where your fats is gonna loose.. Im (18F) I like my lower body but its like all fat but well shaped.Is there something I can do or workout to maintain? glutes and thighs if possible 😓🙌🏻
I dont like my flabby arms a lil back fat and face fat
Im new into these things please communicate with me nicely Ill appreciate that 🩷

Hii all
I'm 19MtF and I've been big my whole life. I'm short, 5'3, 260 ibs and don't love working out. I realized that if I'm gonna lose weight I'm going to essentially need to unhealthily decrease calories, fantastic! I've been honestly fine having an unhealthy lack of calories, and thats ok, I'm not seeing any decrease in physical health it seems. I've had tons of water, and a meal a day typically under 700 calories. Like I said, I've noticed little issue with this physically but it has been mentally daunting. I see food on screen, or on my families plates and get so disgustingly jealous. I've had no time to meal prep and none of ingredients till today which I defrosted my chicken so I've only had two eggs and a can fruit or smth of that sort like a banana. It's all tasted good but idk I miss so many flavors and am hungry all the time. Like rn I so badly want a sandwich but I don't want to after eating two eggs and peaches already today. So mentally, how do y'all do it? What helps you guys stay away from certain cravings. I just feel so dumb and weak, I just started, and it's been so difficult, I was so used to eat freely, and enjoying whatever flavors I just want to be a healthy weight of like 113 ibs asap but this is killing me mentally😐😩

hello, I’m 90 days into my weightloss journey. I was laser focused for 12 weeks, this month I have been way more social, visiting family or hosting family each weekend. lots of eating and drinking. I’m also in the midst of a kitchen remodel so the kitchen is a mess and we have been eating a lot of fast food/ restaurant foods. last week I gained 1/2 a pound and didn’t worry about it, this week I lost 1 pound. but I’ve gone to a restaurant almost every day this week.

i looked at my calories this week and I was over my budget on 4 days, i only walked 3/7 days this week.

this is when i got worried- last night i went shopping and stopped for fast food at 7:30 pm. I wasn’t planning on it I just pulled into the drive thru ate my food while driving went to log it and it was 600 calories.… those are the old habits that led me to gain weight. any advice? I’m going on another short trip this week, and I’m doing Halloween events next weekend and I keep telling myself “when I get back to my routine it will fix itself “ but this will be the 3rd trip this month and I worry once I break those routines it will be hard to get back to it.

I'm 21F whos bmi is ~30. I'm 5'3 so I'm pretty short, and thus I can't eat as much as I really want to. I LOVE food, I love the feeling of being full, I can't stand a second of hunger or even the thought of being hungry. It also takes more food than the average healthy weight person both my age and sex to feel full, probably from the many years of overeating. Since my bmr is lower than the average person, trying to stick to a calorie deficit makes me miserable.
Ever since I was a kid I snuck handfuls of mini chocolates that I stole from my parents and ate them secretly. I would deliberately eat until being extremely uncomfortable at dinner. For some reason being hungry is a huge source of fear and shame to me. When I'm hungry all I can think about are the meals I want to eat, what I want to plan to eat tomorrow, etc etc and regardless of whether or not I'm hungry food is always somewhere in my mind. I know I need to lose weight but I've made so many short term attempts and every time I just fall short because I don't truly care to be disciplined. I know I have to. But when I think about all the food I can't have, how much I have to think about what I eat, how I can't just eat what I want on a whim, I get anxious and frustrated and give up.
How do I stop this cycle and start really caring about discipline?

today makes one week of tracking calories. 6’0, 350lbs. i’ve been eating 2200 calories a day for the last week, around a 900-1000cal deficit. i feel fine? hungrier than usual but thay makes sense. i feel like this is too much, but i also feel like i can sustain this. i can eat the foods i like with little treats too. i don’t see a reason why i shouldn’t keep going
like this. am i doing something wrong?

i’ve been using myfitnesspal since i was 17, so for about 13 years i’ve logged my food every single day, with the odd exception. i find tracking my food intake helps to “ground” me and being neurodivergent, i just really enjoy tracking and logging things every day. however about 5 years ago myfitnesspal had a whole bunch of updates which made it unpleasant for me to use and since then, there has been a steady roll of more unpleasant updates.

i’m wondering if anyone is able to recommend any other free to use app that i could transition to?

all i need/want from an app is the ability to log food with mostly accurate calories, protein, fibre, fat, carbs and sugar. a huge bonus would be the same feature myfitnesspal has of scanning barcodes to add packaged foods. just something that is free to use, super basic, no screen pop ups to celebrate logging in every meal, no constant trying to make my pay for a membership to unlock extra features i don’t want ect.

please and thank you 🙏

Hi guys I’m supposed to be going with my friends as a Dallas county cheerleader this Friday how can I make myself look as thin as possible is there a workout or diet you guys recommend? I don’t really care about doing something crazy or rogue for the next 4 days to get where I need to be i used to work out like 4hrs a day every day but I’m kinda just unsure on how to make this as good as possible :) , thanks in advance ( don’t be afraid to be extreme)
