Where can I ask a weight-loss question or find support?

r/loseit is a peer community for people of all sizes working on sustainable weight loss. It is not a medical service: it bans promoting unhealthy methods and does not allow standalone posts about weight-loss medication. Questions about health conditions belong with a doctor.

Rules to know before posting:

• Progress and milestone posts need details that help others.
• Stand-alone accountability-partner posts go in the recurring weekly thread instead.

• No self-promotion, surveys or diet cash pools.
