r/ownit is a subreddit with 22k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses weight loss, maintenance, weight management, exercise, and calorie counting.
A subreddit for people that managed weight loss - with or without the help of the brilliant /r/loseit - and are in it for the long haul. While a lot of the things learned losing weight will help to keep it off the context does shift: What was a journey is now simply life. Accordingly this is about keeping motivated in a world without Scale Victories. Together, we explore how to adapt what we know to this new chapter, the great beyond.
