Should I just give up on my weight loss? Why aren’t I losing inches?

[Anonymous]

Since I had the summer off, I was determined to lose weight…. well lose inches to be honest. From the end of May to now, my body still looks the same. I am still chubby, my tummy won’t go down and honestly I’m still the same size. My measurements aren’t changing. I am 5’10 and 209lbs. I feel like I put on weight.

I’ve always been a big girl. Never petite. My parents remind me that they’re a nothing little about me and I shouldn’t be ashamed of that. Well I don’t like being a big girl and people always remind me how big I am. Anyways the problem is, I binge eat. I keep breaking promises for myself and honestly I’m just meant to be chubby. I’m done trying to get fit! I AN DONE. I’ve seen others struggle in the beginning like I am but they lost weight/inches! What the hell and I look the same!!! 😭💔🤬

Are you meal prepping?
I know it’s time consuming but to change how we look it’s really all about what we eat, how much we eat and when we eat. It’s all in how we eat to change how we look.

gym/exercise helps but truly it’s all in what we eat.

don’t just diet. Make a meal preps.
Get a milk jug and wash it out.

fill up the jug with water and write times on it from the top to the bottom

7AM

9. AM

11. Am

Etc. All the way down

and make sure you’re keeping up.
if at first you see a lot of hours passed and you didn’t lower the gallon, it’s okay because you’re just starting.
NEVER try to finish the gallon in one go or try to reach many hours that you didn’t drink. Too much water in little time can be dangerous.

just throughout the day try to be drinking to fit the time of day on the gallon as you go.

of course this means a lot of peeing because you’re likely not used to it yet. But you will be eventually. And it will keep you full longer and your skin will start to look nicer and younger and you WILL lose weight.

also you can drink a cup of water with a spoon of vinegar diluted in the morning sipping with a straw so you won’t damage your teeth

and a cup of hot water with lemon in the night before bed with a straw to prevent it from touching your teeth.

from when you go to sleep to when you wake up make sure you fast about 13 to 14 hours or so.

For example of you sleep 7 hours then don’t eat 3 hours before bed only the hot lemon water and don’t eat 3 hours after waking up, only the water with vinegar.
this will help a lot! And makes you super healthy and stronger too even if at first it doesn’t feel that way, it is that way.

Try to avoid any sugary drinks. Flavorful drinks make us fatter faster than foods.

measure your food for meal preps so you don’t over eat. And don’t eat a lot of snacks.

If you already exercise then good! But if you don’t like exercising at all then make it a habit to at least walk 15 mins a day. Then increase it.

if you wanna try a little challenge

go on a treadmill

Start walking at a steady pase for 1 minute

then run fast 20 seconds

then walk it off for a full minute

and again 20 seconds run and walk full minute

do this 5 times everyday it usually takes me 9-10 mins

Try to do it when you wake up before you eat and before you go to bed. If you can’t then at least do it once a day whenever you feel the energy to do it,

it’s really only 10mins so make it happen!!! No matter what!

You will lose weight.
if you have an Apple Watch you can set a goal to burn x amount of calories per day and try to accomplish the goal everyday. Or surpass it.

mid you challenge people, you are more likely to follow through than doing it alone, but it doesn’t mean you can’t do it alone. You definitely can.

Oh and my answer to your question is

NO.

[luvstoned4him]

I was going to ask about your diet and then you mention "I binge eat" and there lies your problem my dear.

Losing weight is just more than exercise and has to do with what you are consuming and also when you are consuming it

And dont believe that bs with "you have always been a big girl" Genetics have nothing to do with it

I've always been a slim girl and manged to reach 172 lbs. Prob the unhealthiest weight I've been all my life and then I throw off about 10 and feel great

You didn't put all this weight on in two and a half months I don't know why you would have the expectation that you're going to lose it.
Your weight loss plan is probably flawed. You think you're doing everything right but you're not.
Did you hire a trainer?
Did you hire a dietitian?

You don't know those things and if you did you wouldn't be in the position you are. If you're serious about results do what it takes to get there

Nope. But you do need to stop beating yourself up about it. Losing weight is a marathon not a sprint. You've already identified your problem you binge eat. You can still binge from time to time and lose weight. I lost 70 lbs. Eating almost exclusively fast food (I'm not recommending fast food). I'm just saying it can be done.

Cut carbs (not really fat) and eat fewer calories. At 209 lbs you're eating a pretty high maintainence, if you go on a calorie deficit, your body will have to tap into those fat reserves and you'll slim down. It sucks, you'll be super hungry a lot, but it's worth it. Nobody is incapable of losing weight. It's a long fight, every minute of every day, but don't give up, you got this.

You aren't losing weight because you are over eating and snaking.

If you give up you will only get fatter as you hit 30

😭 so harsh

Why give up when you can simply drop the calories more & see results...
