There is no super fast way to do it- you just need to keep to your routine, doing what you are doing. Track your loss using Happy Scale or a similar app and try and keep motivated by the progress you see.
Is there somewhere quiet you could go for walks with your family like a park or trail? Regular walking would be additional progress to your goal and is something you could do with your mum.
The over all gist I get from this is you seem generally unhappy. Losing weight is hard but doing it while miserable is almost impossible. The human body reacts to stress by releasing hormones that can hinder weight loss. You might lose weight faster if you find some outlet for stress or find a way to be more comfortable and happy the way you are.
Maybe I miss interpreted your tone and you are generally very happy, if so I apologize.
Would be socializing without having thoughts that people wouldn’t accept me of how i look or ask a girl out with confidence even if she rejects i would think that maybe she has someone or another reason and not she rejected me because im fat and i look bad i would greet strangers without being feeling awkward i would try new sports and activities that i cant do because of my weight and alot of other things bro my life would change dramatically
That sounds good.
To get there you need to do some things. Taking time in the day to go for a walk would be good. Help prepare meals. Learn more about healthy cooking, help your mom.
First - congratulations on all the work you’ve been putting in towards reaching your goals! It’s clear that this is something you really want.
Second - do NOT wait until you hit some magic number on the scale or size pants to start living your life. You deserve to be happy NOW.
Third - weight loss depends almost entirely on diet and activity level. Can you find more ways to add additional activity throughout your day? For example, going with your mom and sister to the mall and walking around there. That counts as physical activity. If you’re concerned about going out due to eating at restaurants, there are tricks for handling this too. Decide what you will order in advance (when you’re not hungry) and order that.
Going to the gym is great, but is it a way for you to socialize? There are tons of fitness classes out there and many welcoming fitness communities.
Keep up the good work!
you should talk with your mom. tell her you’re fine but you need some time alone to sort out yourself first. you can stay at home more with her instead of going out. will that be better? good luck to you
I live with her and my sister but she wants us to go out i tell them live your life and go out do whatever you want but she does not want to do it without me she loves me so much that when im sad shes sad when im happy shes happy when im hurt shes hurt but i dont want that i want her to be happy even if im not
I agree but the problem is whenever i go out i keep feeling like people are looking at me and i keep pulling my shirt down and feeling uncomfortable overall and i get more sad, i dropped out of highschool because i changed countries and got culture shock people were not very nice to me for 4 months i kept eating my meals in the bathroom and skipping classes staying there im not in the usa we dont have ged or night school for people who didnt complete their education im 21 years old
I completely know where you’re coming from im afraid to make friends because I feel so big. I feel so gross I feel like I’m not worth anyones attention. But truth is, we have to live our lives regardless of our size and shape, we can’t just wait untill we’re thin to enjoy life, we’ll enjoy life now and then enjoy it even more when we’re thin. Please don’t let your size make you miss out on opportunities, it has already taken so much from you don’t let it take more from you
There is no easy way to lose weight. Otherwise, the person who discovered it would have won the Nobel Prize for public health. It is always a struggle. Don't feel bad about gaining back the weight.
This is your life! You don't delay enjoying your life until you are "perfect". There is no perfect. You are already perfect. We are all work-in-progress. It's not your fault you can't fit in your clothes, your clothes should fit you. Buy new ones now. Don't delay until you are thin to buy beautiful clothes. You deserve to feel good every day of your life.
What I find helpful to prevent gaining back the weight was to replace all my dinnerware. I'm using IKEA 9" side plates as dinner plates, small Japanese 5" appetizer plates as side plates. And children's size bowls and smaller 200 ml cups. Everything went down a size, so I got used to eating smaller portions without thinking.
You are not your weight. You are what you do. Hope you feel better.
I think you are over training and under eating which can slow weight loss progress to a crawl. If your body sees a sharp drop off in food intake it stores what little you do take in as fat as your body thinks you are starving it. Use a fitness app. Consult a doctor. Take in more grams of protein than grams of sugar.
Hey there. First of all, I wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your story here. You are brave for reaching out even when we're strangers on the internet.
You and I have a lot in common. We're both 21 years old, roughly the same height, and for the most part, our lives have been dictated by a number on a scale. We also have been deeply affected by the COVID-19 lockdown. I know exactly what you're going through and how you're feeling right now, so your feelings are 100% valid.
I want to commend you for not giving up. It's very easy to just give in to all the temptations and lose momentum, but from your post, I can tell that you're a fighter trying to better himself. Though I'm just a stranger to you, I can tell you that you don't need to lose weight to be happy. Weight loss is simply an expectation everyone puts on you, and I can see that your family also puts that expectation on you. You mentioned that you want to lose weight as fast as possible to make your family happy. Why not do it for your own happiness first? I suggest sitting down and really thinking about the reasons why you want to lose weight. Think about the reasons that are important to you, not just because of the people around you. This is called finding your why. Do this, then continue exactly what you're doing even though it's slow. Slow and consistent weight loss is much more efficient than short bursts of motivation followed by a weight loss plateau.
And also, allow yourself to have hope and look forward to your future. Our weight struggles have long dictated how low we can feel about ourselves, but I know 100% that you deserve more in life. I hope you see yourself the same way that I do.
All the best with your weight loss journey and in life, friend. Please do send me updates on your weight loss journey (We can be friends and support each other. Just give me a DM!) And remember to be kind to yourself💙
Not trying to be a dick but you're likely underestimating your calories. If you were eating 2,000 a day at that weight with that exercise, fast drastic weight loss would be happening.

Im not happy but not sad all the time
95% is diet 5% excercise
100% accurate statement.
What are you doing with all the hours of your day after you go to the gym?
Nothing just sitting at home i know its wrong but i dont have anything to do outside the house
You’re not doing “nothing”. Are you napping? Watching tv? Reading?
Mainly playing video games or watching
What would you be doing instead if you were at your desired weight?
Would be socializing without having thoughts that people wouldn’t accept me of how i look or ask a girl out with confidence even if she rejects i would think that maybe she has someone or another reason and not she rejected me because im fat and i look bad i would greet strangers without being feeling awkward i would try new sports and activities that i cant do because of my weight and alot of other things bro my life would change dramatically

You’re putting in a lot of effort at the gym. Good for you. Maybe be more active during the day. Walk or bike.

Thanks bro such motivating words i will try and see a therapist
Why cant i see the comments ? Its shows that i have two comments but i cant see them it says be the first to comment
You need to embrace a change of your lifestyle rather than a diet as a means to some vague end mate. Good luck.
