Losing weight and being in shape sucks
Replies

I'm still fat, despite a 50 lb weight loss, my boobs are gone, my butt is still there, and YES, just like you, I'm having to work twice as hard to burn my calories off. It does seem like a cruel joke.0

I cant regulate my body temperature. im always cold.
i have to eat constantly. im always hungry.
i almost always have blisters on my hands or feet.
My biceps ripped 4 of my best shirts.
my butt is so buff that i went from a 3 to a 7-9.
I cant ask my husband to help with picking up/carrying things because he onows they arent heavy for me.
the worst part though? After a workout, i cannot stand after i sit, and reaching my mouth to brush my teeth is impossible. i just lay my face in the plate to eat some days.0 -
First of all LOL..but COME ON YOU GUYS!! I'm at the other end of the other end of the rainbow..you GUYS did IT!! You should be so proud of yourself!0

I haven't done a weigh in and MFP lowered my calories burned doing 4 mph aerobics from 173 to 171 without asking me. If it gets much worse, I will have to add calories every time i exercise ;-)0

Oh no. Soon, I'm gonna have the same gripes as all of you! ;-)0

Lets see:
Boobs GONE!
Azz GONE!
Shaving armpits- I love that one. And legs when you prop your leg up all these muscles pop out and its hard to shave!
I am cold most of the time
Takes forever to burn 2300 cals a day!
My droid arm band is too big for my arm! Go figure, one size fits all, I will have to add more velcro. Too funny.
I sat in a hard chair at Red Lobster and thought I broke my tailbone when I plopped down on it.
I went from a size 14 to a freaking 0! bought alllllllllllllllll new clothes, bummer I know. My husband says there isnt a size smaller and I would have to go to the kids section. Even XS shirts are too big. Shopping for clothes that fit, is a challenge these days.
I feel like I want to exercise all the time and am obsessed with my Fitbit, find it really hard to sit in an office all day!
I want to be outside all the time, walking/running/riding the bike, hiking
Healthy organic food is expensive!
I obsess over restaurants as well, I wont eat at many places I used to love! I wish I could.
Havent eaten fast food in almost 1 year!
I am so aware of the quality of food now, and find it hard to keep my comments to myself sometimes.
All jokes aside- I am extremely happy - its a great feeling to have people say you are too thin! ( thats sounds nuts surely) Just had a physical and doc says I am fabulous and my blood is fantastic! Off all the meds I was on, including antidepressants!
But my thing is I freaking did it!!!!! May 7th is one year for me on here. I remember the first day I started and how hard it was and how it consummed my every thought. It got easier after a few months and I went strong! Not sure how much longer I will go w/logging. It doesnt cause mean any pain to log so I will carry on until I dont anymore. It has become such a impt part of my life the past year, kindof afraid to stop
Good luck to all of you!!! You all can do it! Great support here!0 -
I am cold, all the time! And I'm spending too much on new clothes.0
-
None of my clothes fit anymore. I am too lazy to go buy new ones and am not sure when I'll settle at a good weight (and I do NOT want to buy new clothes more than once) so I just walk around looking frumpy all day.
lol this is me, just add in too broke as well !0 -
I hadn't thought about how I will sink in the ocean now! How on earth can I enjoy my vacation (in a new pretty swimsuit) if I'm going to keep sinking in the lake!?0

I only lost 15 lbs, and I want to lose 4-5 more to achieve my goal. but scale refuse to move, and i quit worrying about it since metric tape is my best friend now. What I cannot understand is why my %bf remains the same (high) when all those inches are gone from my waist and hips, and my boobs are melting in a daily basis, while I started on resistance training not only cardio. I would thank some advice about this. My diary is open!
Not ruined at the mall, as my 13 yo daughter is growing as fast as I get leaner so we exchange outfits
Many of you would save some money buying a sewing machine and learning how to use it!0 -
I wouldn't say it sucks. Not at all. It's actually quite awesome.
I do notice I am cold more often though. Before, I used to always want the AC on, now the vents are closed in my room and I still sleep with a comforter and sometimes an extra blanket. The upside? The electricity bill is lower!
Clothes that don't fit are a big one for me. Luckily, I don't like to throw away old clothes, and I do have clothes from when I was gaining weight. Going in reverse now :-)
This one is weird: I sweat a lot more. Before, I could do a whole workout and not break a sweat, now 5 minutes in to a fairly moderate intense treadmill run and I'm dripping. Sometimes I have to park off campus to get to class, and that walk makes me break into a light sweat. I don't get it - I'd think losing weight would mean I sweat less.0 -
My gripe is that I do all the cooking at home and can't eat any of it. My wife eats like a horse, consumes about 2-3 lbs. of chocolate a week not to mention the ice cream she eats and has never been over 95lbs. without being pregnant. With all four kids she went to 150lbs. and three months later right back to 95 lbs. If she misses a lunch break at work she will lose between 3-5lbs. in a day. Seems like all I have to do is stir the pot and will gain 5 lbs. She complains about not being able to gain weight. How I wish I had her problem.0

Steal some of her DNA and we will splice it into the MFP collective. Any one here a genetic engineer? I have a Dremel and some duct tape, if that helps.0 -
I'm in the same boat. Burning a lot less calories doing the same exercises. I am going to have to rethink all me exercises now. I used to have about 10-12 pairs of jeans I could wear. Now I only fit into 1-2 and even they are starting to get baggy. Might have to go shopping soon!0

I have the same dilenma! Losing actually means you sweat more cos your metabolism's revved up.0 -
I'm sure I'm burning a lot less calories for the same exercise level compared to when I was bigger and less fit. My TDEE is now lower than my weight-loss calories were (so I'd actually GAIN weight if I ate what I used to be able to eat to LOSE weight).
I haven't wanted to go swimming now that I know I can't float serenely!
I miss shopping at Evans (outsize shop). The staff were nice, they didn't treat you as if you were shop-lifting whenever you wanted to try on clothes, and the changing rooms were huge.
I might be imagining it, but it feels like my fat is now more flabby than plump .
My shoes are too big (I expected it with the clothes, but I didn't realise I was going to have to throw out my entire shoe collection).0 -
The computer isn't near as fun anymore. Mostly all I did before was play games and surf the web. Now, I am mostly here when I am on the computer, not that this is a bad place, but it isn't Tetris. I feel trapped when I am not outside or when I'm not doing something.
THIS. To the extent that I've been off work sick for two days and I'm climbing the walls because I want to go out and exercise but I can't.0 -
hold up....what is this non floating thing???? I live far far north and haven't been swimming since....oh 50-60 pounds ago....are u telling me I'm gonna sink??? I need to know this - vacation next month - do i need little kid arm floaties?? :huh:0

lol! Love a good Ghostbusters reference!0 -
My shirts are all loose now, I have to eat constantly to fuel my weights, I have to carry protein powder in my car, I wear annoying fuzzy socks on my feet at night because I get so cold, arms get all weird looking and veiny after weight training, annoyed at having to buy better fitting clothes for my super hot bod.
Wah....this is fun!0 -
I used to get cold because of poor circulation and thyroid issues; now I get cold because I've lost a 61 kilogram blankie and to add to that we're heading into winter. Argggh! The only thing that makes me warm is exercise, so darn it ... I'm starting to do more than one session of Zumba a day just to keep warm. And drinking all this water makes me visit the bathroom more which is a terrible inconvenience! But what tops it off is every time I Zumba my...er, underwear...falls down so I spend half the time hitching. lol0

The jeans I fitted at 21 are now too loose, while skinny jeans in the same size are pretty good. People at work don't realise that my skinny arms are stronger. I get strange looks at work because I eat a lot of things like lasagna and other high cal dinners. Yet some hardly eat and stay the same. The small pants at work are getting loose and I have to tie the drawstring and I need to wear belts :sad: . Also if I am hungry I eat. Even if it's over my daily calories. Some mfp don't get that. Damn metabolism of a teenager....0
