Losing weight with Chronic Illness

Hey everyone! I'm new here.
I have several chronic health problems, including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hypothyroidism, and Reactive Hypoglycemia. I'm 22, and currently about 190lbs and 5'4. I'm hoping to get to around 165/170lbs.

The issue is exercise is very difficult for me due to my arthritis being uncontrolled and weight bearing is difficult. I also have severe fatigue so most of my energy goes into work and school, not my health. Hypothyroidism also makes it difficult to lose weight

Any tips for me to get healthier? I walk about 7000 steps per day, anything more than that is bad on my joints. I can't go to a gym currently due to COVID.

stop losing or keep going?

I am 36, female, 5 ft 6 inches. When I started my journey I set my goal weight at 59kg (130lbs) but when I hit 138lbs people around me have started making comments - saying I look unhealthy and I should stop losing and possibly put some weight back on. My husband and I don't see it that way (hubby is my best friend and the person I trust the most). I just hit 136lbs and I feel great, but all these comments are really bothering me and I am starting to reconsider my goal weight. When I look in the mirror I like what I see but I don't know if I could feel even more energetic if I hit my original goal weight. All these comments from friends and acquaintances and relatives are very confusing. They also seem to come from people who are struggling with their own weight and not doing much about it. I tend to be kind and reassuring to avoid open confrontation. Has anything similar ever happened to anybody here?

Weight Loss

I'm a 19 year old female. I'm 5'5" and currently weigh about 133lb. (my weight has been fluctuating between 131 and 134 recently). I really want to lose weight. During quarantine back in March, I got down to 124lb., but unfortunately gained that weight back. I would love to get to 115-120lb. (before anyone says it's unhealthy, my mom is 5'10" and weighs around 125lb. She's slim but has muscle. I do a lot of musical theatre, and therefore dance, when covid's not a thing, so want to slim down to look and feel better for that. I try to eat about 1200 calories a day (I feel fine, guys, don't worry). Amy mom and I try to walk 4 miles every day. And I want to add yoga in. Is that enough to lose weight and keep it off? How fast would I get down to 125lb. (I don't want to weigh more than that again cause I don't feel good about myself when I do)?

can we eat chapati for weight loss?

hi all

Hello

I am a 16 year old male (17 in December) and I am currently 310lbs, 5 foot 7 inches. I'm very confused on what diets and exercises I should be doing to help me get to my goal weight 185lbs. Thanks in advance!

Why can't I lose weight

I have been working out since August and between August and October lost around 4kgs. I have not changes my diet drastically, just cut out too much takeaways and luxuries. I have tried different exercise routines to see which ones have been working but my weight seems to have stood still. It either increases by around 0.5kgs or decreases about the same but stays around this. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I have not been able to lose weight further or suggestions of what to do? Can it be not having a completely healthy meal plan? I also want to target my tummy area but there does not seem to be a physical difference. TIA

Just curious

Hey all!
I'm 5'1 and 155 pounds, I used to be 120-125 and I want to get back there to fit in some nice pants that I own
I'm working on a 1200 calorie goal per day, and I just wanted to know how much time it took for you to feel the results ? Not just numbers, but to feel the effects on your body.
Theoretically, my caloric deficit should lower my weight at 1.5 pound/ week, so I'm definitely not expecting some magic; just wanted to hear about your experiences ✨

Ways to Lose Weight

Hi all! I've been using the app for a few months now and am stuck at my current weight. Right now, I'm 5'2", and weigh 138 lbs. I want to get my weight down to about 125. However, I tried moving my calorie intake down from my current limit (1600) to 1300, but I just can't stay within the limit. Does anyone have any other ideas besides lowering calories? I know I can exercise, but the only exercise I like is using my exercise bike (which I do maybe twice a week at most) and I hate doing anything else. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
