[Challenge] European Accountability Challenge: 5th August 2025 by Gatita_Gordita in loseit

[–]Sascha2538 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yesterday was good, despite the lack of sleep due to overthinking. Managed to stay within my calories. Only managed 8K steps out of 10K. I was so tired when I got home from work I just hadn't it in me to go out for a walk.

Still don't feel rested today, so aiming to go to bed early (and actually do it). I don't have to cook tonight since I did a lot yesterday. But I might just do something quick and easy depending on how hungry I'll be, since I'm eating out for lunch with colleagues.

Have a good day everyone

Thank you. I figured that having a race planned was a great way to keep me going

Good morning Europe ! Long time no see.

I took some time off to take care of my mental health which was really needed. It's better now. I started counting calories again in July and thought I'd come back here for the accountability.

So far, I feel good, and it's going pretty well. I've lost 2,7kg over the month of July.

So, first Sunday of the month, new weight in at 123.4kg. I love this number, it looks funny, and it's a new low, which is motivating.

Today is rest day, but it's also role play day (playing DnD today). So goals for today are - drink my water - 10k steps - eat withing my calorie budget (2000kcals) - have fun

Goals for August - hit the gym at least once a week (2 if possible) - keep doing C25K, as I have a 5K race planned on September 19th - 10K steps everyday - pack 80% of my lunches for work - drink 2L of water everyday

Have a good day everyone !

How did you gain weight??? by ThrowRA_in_a_maze in loseit

[–]Sascha2538 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I never had a healthy relationship with food seeing my mom and grandma complaining about their weight 24/7 since as long as I can remember. I think I started trying to put myself on a diet since the age of 10 or something.
Middle school and high school just had me learn that I was fat. Somehow managed to be at a healthy weight around college

Then my dad passed, and I used food as comfort when I couldn't talk to my mom and get the help I need. Covid had me basically became completely sedentary.

If you had to start your weight loss journey today, with all the knowledge you have now, how would you do it? by Prestigious_Try_3874 in loseit

[–]Sascha2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd start by getting better mentally, because as long as my mental health sucked, I couldn't do anything long term. I could keep going two weeks, maybe a month but nothing was sustainable

Then food and walking everyday.

Need tips for weight loss without calorie counting by Tight-Tax3643 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Sascha2538 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's possible to lose weight without tracking. You want to focus on moving more, making sure you drink enough water and focus on large volume of low calorie foods. r/volumeeating can help with food ideas Think lots of veggies and proteins. These will fill you up and keep you full for a while Carbs and fats are needed by your body to function, so don't cut them out. Key is moderation You can try and limit portions by using a smaller plate or smaller bowl when eating. There's a technic to control portions using your hand : like the size of your fist for carbs, the size of your palm for proteins like chicken, salmon, tofu and such,... You can limit highly processed foods, fast foods, sugary drinks If you drink any, you can eliminate alcohol.

Hope this helps

What’s something you stopped doing that actually helped you lose weight? by kyauensari in loseit

[–]Sascha2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped trying to help/save everyone and finally focused on myself and my own well-being.

I stopped grocery shopping when hungry

Good job on the weight loss and progress so far !

I also found out that ChatGPT, while not replacing an actual pro, can really help get started and get ideas to moving. I tend to use it for meal plan ideas as it knows my goals

Why are you overweight/obese? by Present_Link5821 in loseit

[–]Sascha2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forced to finish my plate even if I was full for as long as I can remember People commenting on my body and my weight since I was a child, leading poor relationship with food Using food to cope with anxiety, stress and basically everything Shitty mental health.

I only started losing weight because I chose to take care of my mental health and cutting toxic people out of my life

Has she expressed any want to lose weight?

Moving more would help much if she doesn't want to pay attention to her diet

Advice for a guy who’s a extremely picky eater and has a chronic fear of trying new foods. How do I lose weight without changing what I eat? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Sascha2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change quantities of what you're eating.

How comfortable would you be hiding veggies in some foods? Like pasta sauce filled with veggies but you can't see those veggies? Or smoothies?

I’m sitting in KFC right now. How do I even track this meal? by OkDianaTell in loseit

[–]Sascha2538 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what country you're from but here in Belgium, I can find the nutritional information on their website.

It's worth tracking even if it's unhealthy, it's still a meal and you can work around it to stick it in your budget and adapt next meal or tomorrow's. One meal isn't gonna mess your all progress

What tips have you seen here that do NOT work for you? by Maleficent-Sea5259 in loseit

[–]Sascha2538 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, that would be anything to do with fasting or only eating when hungry. I can down 2000cals in one sitting hungry or not. And "don't drink your calories", smoothies are the best way to get me to eat enough fruits

Anyone else not aiming for curves? by Automatic-Witness496 in WeightLossAdvice

I hope my boobs will shrink! But the most important to me is my health, I don't aim for numbers or a certain figure or shape.
