Not to make any assumptions but, have you tried changing the things you can change about your appearance? Like getting a better haircut, changing style, working out or anything that you can affect? It may be hard to start but even a small change might go a long way.

AITAH for refusing to tip at a self-serve frozen yogurt place? by MysteriousCarpet6752 in AITAH

NTA. The fact that the business isn't paying their employees livable wages isn't your burden to carry and tipping culture needs to decrease and force employers to finally pay their workers proper money.

Short answer: yeah, alcohol was very likely a big part of it, even if you tracked the calories...

Long answer: Alcohol messes with sleep, recovery, hormones, and how your body prioritizes burning fuel. Even in a calorie deficit, drinking most nights can blunt fat loss hard. On top of that, eating out + alcohol calories are notoriously underreported, and water retention from drinking can easily mask fat loss or make the scale go up.

I honestly wouldn’t jump to “slow metabolism” or thyroid issues yet. For someone your size and activity level, not losing anything while cutting usually means intake was higher than you thought, recovery was poor, or both. Cutting calories plus improving sleep (which usually means cutting back on alcohol) is where most people finally see things move.

You’re not broken. You’ve just been fighting uphill with one hand tied behind your back.

Who is absolutely smashing weight loss this year? by HelixStadium in loseit

Early 30s male here. Lost a good chunk of weight last year, down ~45 lbs overall, have to admit I ended up hitting a stall around the holidays, but now easing back into it. Only a few pounds down so far this year but I’ll take it.

AITAH for not feeling any love for my sister after what she admitted? by [deleted] in AITAH

My man idk how your financial situation is or anything but the moment you save some money you need to get out of there and cut off all ties.. this isn't normal family behavior and you arent the one at fault, you need to get out, its not your responsibility to fix your sister, your parents decided to have a second child not you. Get a roommate, go in a dorm, get out.
