What it feels like to lose weight?

[Milo Williamson]

Ever since a spell ago,we decided to join a gym challenge called "Survivor" , so been eating right as rain most of the time, but when I do get hungry I usually eat something like normal,but after eating a lot of times I get hungry, right? I an not taking any pills or anything like that, I have been hitting the gym more since joining this program, still.. am I losing weight?

....... am I losing weight?

Have you been weighing yourself?

Well the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. So if you eating low calories and burning those calories during the day, you should be losing weight.

But the only way to know is as @AugieTN asked and that is to weight yourself.

So I have gone from a size 38 (waist) down to a size 36. , the 36's have been feeling a bit loose. So yesterday I was at Walmart grabbing some shorts, tried on a pair of size 36 felt a little snub, but i could still fit into them, then when I took the shorts off I noticed that they were a size 32 and not a size 36

You can do it Joe. Eat a little less. Eat less carbs. Burn more fats. I'm pulling for you.

Awesome Joe!

I feel lighter and better though, although not like Joe of losing that much mass.

When I was in my teens, I lost sixty pounds in a month and eighty pounds total. It was amazing how I felt not dragging around that extra weight. Everyone predicted that I would put that wight back on. They were wrong. Sixty years later and I still weigh the same.

I went from almost 290 down to 230, 230 down to 220, drop to 212 and then hit 210 and my weight paused no matter what I did i couldn't gain or loose weight. I weigh myself recently 201

I've never really lost weight myself. For most of my adult life I was around 79kg, but since moving to China in my late 40s I increased to around 88kg, which is holding steady.
