| 164 lbs lost - I straight up don’t recognize myself Posted: 15 Jun 2021 12:58 AM PDT SW: 400 lbs CW: 236 lbs Male. 26 years old. 5'11. 685 days. Hasn't been too terribly long since my last update. I was digging through some older college photos and noticed some pictures that, honestly, are completely unrecognizable to me at this point. I don't know - I guess I just needed somewhere to post it, so Reddit seemed like a good option. Why the heck not? My methods haven't changed since my last post. Still following Greg Doucette mostly. My diet is high volume/low calorie, and I achieve that mostly by lowering fats and increasing my protein intake. I guess the type of diet I'm doing has become more popularly recognized as "anabolic." I'd recommend looking into YouTube content creators such as Greg Doucette, Remington James, Exercise4CheatMeals, among many others who are more or less doing the same thing, which is creating awesome anabolic recipes. The name of the game I've been playing for the past year or so is to focus on making my diet so enjoyable that I can stick with it no matter what. In a way, it shouldn't really matter (at least most of the time) what you're doing as long as it's sustainable. Sustainability should be one of the highest priorities. For exercise, I like to jog once a day, typically in the evening. It's a form of cardio that I like and am able to stick to. I don't go super crazy, but I work up a significant sweat. I also lift dumbbells a few times a week. Just simple dumbbell exercises, so it's not super crazy shit, but I'm consistent as hell. The consistency has yielded some decent muscle growth. I'm not done, and I'll never really be done as long as I keep delving into my fitness journey. I'm on a hecking warpath with this. I do not plan on stopping. Not as long as I'm breathing.

| Update: I bought myself ROLLERSKATES (and lost 85lbs!) Posted: 14 Jun 2021 05:18 AM PDT Hey guys! Wow, did I get a tonne of responses and really helpful advice from my last post. I'm sorry that there were some questions I didn't answer - I bought my skates from skatehut, I was a little nervous doing so because I've always had really large, awkward and wide feet for a woman (thanks, dad.) But the skates fit perfectly! A few people did specifically state that I should absolutely NOT start skating in an uncontrolled environment and should start in a skate rink. Unfortunately there are none open within a feasible distance to me, but I do live in an apartment complex with a very empty and flat enclosed parking lot. It is surfaced with very soft tarmac - I tied a rope from one pillar to another to use as a rail to aide with my balance, and also to make falling slightly less abrupt. On my first day I could barely stand, and had to use my boyfriend to keep from falling constantly. On my second day I did three laps of the rope without falling. On my third day I did TWENTY LAPS! And then I tried to make it a cheeky twenty two and fell on my right buttcheek finishing the twenty first. Serves me right. I have watched a lot of tutorials and know how to try and fall, and I never practice without all my safety gear on. I am slowly getting the hang of skating, and will probably keep using the string safety rail for several months until my form is perfect and I am used to falling correctly. I thought with this update I would include a before/after photo of my weight (link below!) I also realised this weekend that I have lost a tonne of weight from my neck and face, specifically. Face gains. Anyway, all I can say that all of my weight loss is attributed to my joy. I have spent many years being a very unhappy person, and I ate all of my feelings. Sometimes I still do, but less so, because I am more joyful now. I unsuccessfully tried to count calories for many years as a 300lbs person, but because I had no hope, and no aspirations, I relapsed constantly. I know you will all know what that's like - please always remember to be kind to yourselves, at any weight. To conclude: I am halfway to my goal weight, and better at skating now than I was a week ago! **Just popping in an edit to say that I received some of the nicest compliments ever on the comments section of this post and I really appreciate y'all hyping me up!! 🥺 Anyone on the fence about skating ABSOLUTELY should if they think it's safe for them to do so, and I'll go forth from this post feeling much more cute and cool in my safety gear than I ever thought I could feel. ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| My mom keeps telling me my diet is unhealthy even though she's the obese and unhealthy one (rant) Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:04 PM PDT Please, im so stressed with her. Im 18, 5'1 im very short, i do intermittent fasting l so i can eat big meals. I think my diet is far from unhealthy. I don't ban carbs from my diet, i eat at least 100g of protein, but i just don't eat junk foods. However my obese mom, who's also short (4'9 ish) keeps complaining about how my diet is shit, im unhealthy, etc meanwhile she's the one who just got a surgery because she's unhealthy, got sick several times these past few months, etc. Im so so sick of her. She complains about my diet a lot. Also because i eat mostly healthy foods, and i do IF my meals are usually huge. There was this one time, where i consumed around 600 calories from fruit, and protein fluff and baked oats in one sitting and my dad said "wow you're gonna eat all that? How are you gonna lose weight?" So annoying. My family also loves to body shame each other. We're going to see a nutritionist today just so my mom believes me that my diet isn't bad. Wish me luck [link] [comments] |
| I don’t weigh my (low starch) vegetables Posted: 14 Jun 2021 12:20 PM PDT I'm super morbidly obese and in enough of a calorie deficit that being a little over on the vegetable calories doesn't bother me at all. I make a reasonable portion and just eyeball it. I got fat eating pizza and nachos and fries and cake and Mars bars and wine. So much wine. A big part of this weight loss for me (27lbs down so far) isn't just eating less it's making better choices and eating healthier, too. I don't want to nickel and dime myself on freakin bell peppers and cucumbers and spinach. I don't count them as free calories, I still track them, but very loosely. For me it's about reducing the mental load of dieting. As a life long perfectionist with a history of ED, allowing some things to just be whatever has taken a lot of the stress out of it for me. For the first time in years of trying to lose weight it's actually working and it's partially due to me not being so rigid. I also have a calorie range rather than a static number. If anyone has any tips on reducing mental load while dieting I'd love to hear them. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| [NSV] I never knew that having a treat when you're eating normally actually feels...like a treat. Posted: 14 Jun 2021 07:53 PM PDT Today, I got my usual for lunch - a chicken Power Bowl, a chicken chipotle melt, & Mt. Dew Baja Blast Zero Sugar from Taco Bell. Surprisingly, even with extra chicken in the bowl and extra chicken & cheese on the melt, it was all under 600 calories (according to their online calculator). It kinda blew my mind because I'm still not hungry almost 6 hours later. Counting the big bowl of cereal, creamer in my coffee, & buttered bread I had earlier, I'm still only at around 1200 calories for the day. So, as I'm sitting here being bored at work, I was like, "I kinda want some chocolate." And then I perked up because I realized that I'm well under my daily BMR (I think? More later), so 200 calories wouldn't hurt. Man, I marched to that vending machine like, "HELL YEAH! TWIX, MOTHERFUCKER!" It's crazy how I would never have had my mood improved by that just a month or two ago. Also, regarding BMR...is there a calculator out there that's generally regarded by this sub as being the most accurate? Because I've put my info into several and I get anywhere from 2400 calories/day to 2900 c/d and I have almost no idea which to really go off of. 2900 definitely seems high, but who knows?

| Bad day, realize I eat more when avoidant and stressed Posted: 14 Jun 2021 06:08 PM PDT I was doing so well. A solid week of eating mindfully, with a glorious and intentional chest meal with friends on Saturday (can you say fusion Indian/Mexican food?). And then the work week rolled around and my old anxieties about work and my future reared it's ugly head and the next thing I know I am eating pasta to try to not feel the existential terror of living. How blissful it must be to not be a neurotic little twitching ball all the time. What's that like? twitch twitch goat cheese on the corner of my mouth Today I didn't exercise, or eat right, or get my water goal or step goal. But I am going to bed super early with the belief that tomorrow will be brighter on my lips. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2021 05:47 PM PDT My family, which has not seen me in a very long came to visit, this past week. I was excited to see them! BUT at the same time, dreaded it because for some reason, some members in my family feel it is okay to comment on my weight & to body check me. Btw, this is nothing new. They have been doing this since I was a child, which really lead me to have low self esteem body dysmorphia. To me, it's just not my style to judge others on their appearance; especially not family. It's just weird and annoying- but at this point it's become highly expected. Fast forward to today... I have lost about 56 pounds, and while some of my family congratulated my efforts and noticed a change... Some didn't comment/notice, which is okay, too! But, the person I cared to see the most made a comment that really upset me. They said, "I thought you said you lost more weight. I imagined you to be a lot more skinny." I'm not going to lie, this comment hurt immensely! I fully comprehend that I still have progress to make, insulting me doesn't magically make me lose weight. And the worst part is this hurtful comment came from the mouth of someone I love/respected. I felt like every effort made was for nothing- that I should just give up. I felt like whatever I did would still never be enough. I'm sitting here sobbing, and questioning myself.I already have body dysmorphia, the last thing I want or need is anyone's opinion. And although I see the scale shifting, my head hasn't caught up with what's in the mirror; which can be tricky. I felt really great about my downward trend on the scale, the progress made in the gym, and other non scale victories. I was so motivated to pull forward. But now, not so much. What do you do in this mess? I think I should just keep to myself and focus on my goals. At the end of the day- this is about me. Still sucks though :/ [link] [comments] |

| I am no longer obese and am now a healthy weight. Posted: 14 Jun 2021 06:57 AM PDT I'm 17. In December 1st, 2020, I weighed in at 90kg, 5 foot 7. Now, in June, I am 69kg, 5 foot 8. All of the exercise and change of life style has payed off, and I'm telling you I nearly cried when I knew the doctor would not have any issues to talk to me about anymore. With a history of battling cancer 2 times my body really was not fit for living years to come being unhealthily overweight. I am happy with the change. And yes I may have lost some muscle mass, however I've increased the amount of protein in my diet and am lifting weights to work on this area. I hope this can inspire people in a similar position as me. I couldn't be more happy. [link] [comments] |
| I perfected lower-calorie marshmallow toast! TYSM for all the suggestions! Posted: 14 Jun 2021 08:41 PM PDT I posted last week about my daily marshmallow toast treat. With bread, real peanut butter, chocolate chips and marshmallows it topped out at ~300 which can be A LOT for those following CICO. Because of all the great suggestions, I now have a 150 cal version!!!!! Cinnamon Rice Cake: 50 cals 2 Tbsp PBfit chocolate peanut butter powder mixed with water, spread onto the rice cake: 50 cals 2 marshmallows cut in half and toasted: 50 cals I can't toast a rice cake (they just catch on fire), so to toast the marshmallows, I sprayed foil with cooking spray, sliced 2 marshmallows in half and placed them on the foil. Toasted in toaster oven for a few minutes. When done, just flip the marshmallows onto the peanut buttered cake, and enjoy!!! It's. delicious. The chocolate peanut butter is SO good. The mallows are so soft. The rice cake texture is perfect. Enjoy!!! [link] [comments] |
| I’m so tired of trying to lose weight, I might give up sadly. Posted: 14 Jun 2021 08:17 PM PDT As much as I don't want give up I'm starting to mentally and physically feel unmotivated. I'm 3 months into my dieting and healthy lifestyle. I've lost 15 pounds and I'm proud of my results, I'd like to lose 15 more but I'm tired of struggling what to find to eat that's healthy. Or trying my best to avoid those oreos every day except Sunday. Or snacking on cheez its without worrying about writing it down in my food diary. I like kickboxing and it has been effective in my weight loss but I've been becoming less motivated to go to the classes. I started out strong in the first 2 months but now it feels like I'm tapping out. All I think about is eating oreos or something like having a milkshake but I can't. Thank goodness for Mukbangs because I watch them all day. Anyway I just needed to get that out. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2021 06:25 PM PDT Hey everybody. How's it going? I'm here for the same reason we all are, looking for support on losing weight. Back in 2017 I had a bad breakup and decided "well I'll show him + everyone else, I'm finally losing weight" and somehow I flipped the switch in my brain and really went at it. It helped that I had a physically demanding job already, but I added in weekend walks, and overhauled my eating. When all was said and done I lost 120 lbs in a little over a year. But, it slowly started to creep back up. I stopped my daily weigh ins. I had a special occasion with a cheat meal. Then another. I stepped on a scale and I had regained 30 lbs. Crap, wake up call, right? Well, sure. For a couple weeks. I could keep on listing the excuses and stumbling blocks, but I will cut to the chase. I regained 90 of that 120 (right now, after pandemic gains, probably more of that, but I don't have a functioning scale). Over the last couple years I've gone in fits and starts, losing 10-30 lbs, then giving up and regaining it. Right now I'm just struggling to flip that switch and get myself going again. I don't have the physical job anymore, I work at a desk, and that has been a huge difference (went from average 15k steps + lots of lifting boxes during a work day, to average 3k steps). I know that adjusting my eating habits will have a greater effect on weight loss than exercise, but I still know I need to get up and moving more than I do. I need to drink more water. I need to not snack from the time I get home from work until the time I go to bed (or buy a dozen cucumbers at a time lol). I know what I need to do. So why can't I do it? I know a lot of it is wrapped up in mental health struggles. I'm in therapy and I'm on meds. I know the last year+ living in a global pandemic has been beyond anything I'd ever dreamed of living through, so I am giving myself some compassion. But I honestly have no idea how to flip the switch except just to do it. So, hi. I'm about to go to bed, which means tomorrow will be Day One. Enough waiting for motivation. It's time to just do the thing. I'm not very active on reddit, but I hope to check back here and there. Cheering you all on. :) [link] [comments] |
| Should I go to the gym despite severe mental illness? Posted: 15 Jun 2021 02:26 AM PDT Title post is the question at hand. Long story short, the entirety of my family is obese, past+present alcoholics, and lives with a plethora of mental illnesses. I was obese my whole life as I've always used food as a comfort for everything. Managed to go from 250+lbs to 135lbs in less than a year, inadvertently developed anorexia, got pressured to eat more and a few years later ended up eating as before/returning to old habits. The last year and a half has been quite simply terrible, just one thing after the other. Lost the very few opportunities I had in life and I've spent the entire pandemic doing absolutely nothing. Put on 80+lbs in that time. In any case, the one acquaintance that hasn't stopped talking to me has repeatedly suggested going to the gym. Problem being the aforementioned issue with mental illness which has rendered me completely non-functional. Five different anxiety disorders, treatment resistant depression, depersonalization, insomnia, etc. I hardly if ever go outside nowadays, as that just triggers a panic attack and accelerate the depersonalization. The one experience I have with a gym is when said acquaintance took me to one, and the people there stared and laughed at me as I couldn't even lift the bar without plates on it. I legitimately don't know if I can even do this. I don't have any clue of what to do in a gym regardless. Literally eating myself to death once again but food is the only comfort I have left.

| Losing weight when chronically ill. (looking for advice) Posted: 15 Jun 2021 02:14 AM PDT First and foremost, 2 important things. I'm on mobile so I'm sorry for formatting. And also, I'm looking for support from people that have experience with this or just have tips in general. I've talked to me doctor about this but I would like some thoughts from people that struggle similarly. So. I'm a 26 year old woman and I have a lot of chronic conditions. At times I feel like a pokemon trainer "gotta catch 'm all". I have rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, an auto-immune disease (cvid) and a neurological disorder that, among other things, are giving me severe headaches that levse me bedridden for a lot of days out of the week. And these are just a few of my conditions.. As you can imagine excersing is pretty hard. I'm trying to build up a routine with my physical therapist but I'm always one hospital stay, or one severe infection away form being back at square one. Over the last year I've gained a lot of weight. I'm 1.6m and 78kg (5.3 and 171). But how do I get back to healthier weight when my whole body is plotting against me. This whole thing is also not helping my mental health and I'm going through a bit of a depresh. So, is there anyone out there that can help? Have you experienced something similar? Or do you have tips on how to get out of this? Thank you guys so much in advance ❤️ [link] [comments] |
| Just hit 1,000 days of logging in MFP, including 22 months maintaining! Posted: 14 Jun 2021 06:46 AM PDT I've just hit 1,000 days of logging my calories in My Fitness Pal and have actually been needing a bit of accountability, so I thought I'd make a post about it. I'm 25, 5'6", and went from ~200lbs in September 2018 to, currently, a little over 140lbs. Here's my graph. What I did to lose the weight: I started with 1,700 calories/day and cut down to one can of soda per day (soda was my no.1 vice). The first 2 weeks were so hard. I had a constant headache from significantly reducing my sugar intake and stomach pains from eating less. But I got through it and it only got easier. Eventually I went down to 1,500 cal/day and, for the last 10lbs, 1,200. I exercised occasionally but not a lot. My progress was 99% diet. What I did to maintain the weight: My initial goal was 150lbs, but I adjusted it once I got there because I wanted to give myself a bit of a buffer. Once I reached 140lbs, I went back up to 1,500 and then 1,700 cal/day. A few months into maintenance, I also started exercising 4-5 times/week, some light strength training and a tiny bit of cardio. Since then, I haven't fluctuated more than a few pounds. As you can see on my graph, my weight has gone up slightly 2 times during maintenance. The first was at the beginning of lockdown, when I lost access to the fitness center where I used to work out and became a lot more sedentary. I adjusted my calories down a bit and the pounds came off. The second time is now. I started trending up a bit in winter (I'm always more sedentary in winter), but I haven't gone back down yet because, where I live, Brood X of 17-year cicadas is currently out and active and it's not pleasant to go outside. But they're starting to thin out and my office has reopened for employees to go back to work in person if we want to, which means I can start going back to the fitness center there. I think I'll go in a few times this week and restart my exercise routine. Overall, maintenance has been easier than I thought it would be. It requires accountability and keeping up the same habits I used to lose the weight, including counting calories and weighing myself daily, but by now they're just that: habits. Like brushing my teeth or balancing my budget. It's an inconvenience sometimes but I know I have to do it because the results are worth it. My advice to anyone starting out on their journey would be that consistency is key. It's okay and normal to slip up sometimes, but as long as the days when you hit your goal are more frequent than the days when you don't, you'll get there. [link] [comments] |
| Is it normal to "starve" on a cut? Posted: 15 Jun 2021 01:01 AM PDT 21F, 115 lbs, 5'3" here. I'm about a week and a half into my cut. I've been consuming about ~1250 cals (250 deficit). It seemed to work for me until recently. I usually consume big meals 3x a day so that I don't snack anymore between. Today, after my lunch of the same volume and macros as usual, I felt hungry an hour after. I thought I was just craving, so I ignored it but I began to notice that I was shaking. I took it as a sign that I was legit hungry, so I ate something. My total intake for the day is back at 1500. Is this a sign that I need to up my calories or is hunger a normal thing while cutting? Just a little background on my activity - I lift 5x a day, once a week HIIT, and try to hit at least hit 10k steps everyday. It may be worth mentioning that I also only recently began with the 10k steps thing, and that my period tracker says I'm supposed to get my period in a couple of days. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jun 2021 02:31 AM PDT I'm m 14 years old I weigh 172 pounds and im around 5' 3. I've never really exercised other than in school and even then I just half-ass everything we did. I don't watch what I eat or how much I eat. I feel like a complete loser and am embarrassed to go out sometimes. I've never told anyone my actual weight and thought that maybe Reddit might help. I need to know how people manage to lose weight and how people even have the mentality to want to lose weight. I could use all the advice I could get cause I genuinely think that if I keep going down this path things are gonna be so bad I won't even want to get up in the morning. I'm sorry for putting my problems on other people's shoulders but I had to tell someone and seek help. [link] [comments] |
| 35M 6 foot SW-236.2 CW-206.2 CICO/Running —- Scale and Non Scale Victories Posted: 14 Jun 2021 06:54 PM PDT I lurk here and love reading about people's victories. Had a bit of a cheat weekend because a friend was in from out of town. I'd been weighing in the 208-211 range for the last 3 weeks after powering through the first 25 pounds of weight loss over the course of 2 months. Mainly via CICO and picking up a running habit. In that time I've gone from barely finishing a 400m lap to being able to run for 40+ minutes straight. Yesterday after a disgustingly delicious breakfast sandwich (everything bagel, jalapeño cream cheese, and bacon!)I had a salad with grilled chicken for lunch and went on a run. When I got home I just wanted pizza so that's what I had… and it was glorious. I fully expected to wake up this morning and see the damage I'd done but instead I hopped on the scale and it read 206.2! Which gives me exactly 30 lbs lost since April 1. I spent the day working from home and going over my calorie counts over the last few weeks to see if the weight was one of those outliers. Nope… seems like the weekend of cheating helped me flush a bit and catch up to my expected weight from calorie deficit. I was planning on going for a 4 mile run after work and the weather was perfect. Felt good through the first two miles and checked my pace. I was on pace for a sub 30 minute 5k so I pushed through and managed to cross the 5k mark at 29:32 (personal best) and continued through to complete the 4 mile work out in 38:47. Big wins today crossed the 30 lb lost line and ran a sub 30 5k. Also this puts me about 6 pounds from upping the calories a bit closer to maintenance. Trust the process! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:19 AM PDT Last Thursday, I just couldn't contain my cravings and kept going for snack after snack after snack. Usually in the past my binges have always been related to work stress. I have a cycle of procrastination - guilt - eating - procrastination by eating - more guilt - etc. I always assumed that the eating until I feel sick was about the guilt and the feeling that I needed to punish myself. However, last week I was having a great week at work and feeling no guilt. Later that night I tried to sit with my thoughts for a bit and figure out why I was behaving in this way even though I wasn't happy with it. I realized my REAL trigger isn't wanting to punish myself, it's the desire to avoid something. If I am avoiding thinking about something, doing a task I dread, or in this case feeling a feeling, I just start eating. I had always thought the binges were sort of self harming but this time I realized that the real common thread was the avoidance. This time my trigger was the realization that I have to have a hard conversation with my partner, and I haven't had to face it bc they've been away with family for the past month. In that month I was able to stay on track, and 24 hours before their flight back I just started eating. So now I know what I'm avoiding and I know why I'm eating. I'm still STRUGGLING to find a better replacement behavior and maybe I can try journaling, but I'm wondering if anyone can relate to this eating pattern? [link] [comments] |
| PSA: Hotter Weather Can = Weight Gain Posted: 14 Jun 2021 07:40 AM PDT It's getting hotter and more humid for many of us in the northern hemisphere. If you've experienced hot weather in the last couple weeks and your weight loss has stalled, the weather could be to blame. This article explains why:
Like all other stalls or gains caused by water weight fluctuations, the solution is to be patient and trust that you are still losing fat as long as you are in a calorie deficit. Eventually, this loss will show on the scale. It just may take a few weeks. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 15 Jun 2021 01:22 AM PDT Hi all, I made this app for my girlfriend that might also help some of you. It allows you to plan your meals for each week, manage your shopping list and ingredients at home. The main advantages compared to its competitors is that * search and save recipes * you can plan for an unlimited number of weeks * easy swapping of meals * configurable notifications for current and next day * scan ingredients based on bar code If you like it, please add a review. And if you don't, please let me know why so I could further improve the app. Google Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yinqs.weeklymealplanner [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 14 Jun 2021 08:30 PM PDT I have recently gone through a pretty drastic weight loss and I have now reached a point where I feel comfortable and like the frame of my body as it is now . I have finally reached a healthy weight but I still struggle with some common problem areas such as the inner thigh , some tummy fat and upper arm and back fat which bother me the most . I really don't want to lose any more weight or look smaller than I already do . This is something i've been advised by my physician and my family and friends . Is there anyone who knows how | could achieve fat loss in these areas without continuing to get smaller everywhere else ? ( btw im 18 and don't know if that affects any training or nutrition advice that i will be given ) [link] [comments] |
| Trying to start my weight loss journey and actually stick to it! Posted: 14 Jun 2021 04:31 PM PDT My partner and I are very overweight and keep getting into a pattern of doing great with our routine of planning meals and trying to exercise more. That said, we keep hitting a wall where we find it too easy to stop and go back to being lazy. So, we decided to make it a competition over the next 3 months where whoever has the best weight loss percent wins. Over the year we want to loss around 250lbs combined. We are joining the Y now that things are opening up and are going to find fitness classes we can enjoy together. Our start goal is 30lbs each over the next 3 months. Does 10lbs/ month seem reasonable to start? Wish us luck! [link] [comments] |
| Just past 50 pounds lost on the "PM diet" Posted: 14 Jun 2021 08:13 AM PDT Today I just past 50 pounds lost since starting mid Feb of this year. I cant tell you why I started that random day, other than we decided to take a trip or FL this winter and I swore I would ride every ride with my kids. Last time we went, I didn't fit on several rides (or I didn't even try) (SW 360). I really didn't have a plan, other than to make sure it was sustainable and to try to aim for 2# per week. I did not set a goal weight as honestly I didn't want to fail. Instead I chose to focus on today and short term immediate goals and see where it takes me. I didn't want to get into buying special programs or food as I don't feel like that is realistic forever. I really just set out to east less and be more active. So more about my "PM plan", as I jokingly call it. I joined LostIt.com almost 10 years ago. I never seriously used it, but I do have a (very sad looking) weight history over that time. In Feb I just started tracking ever single calorie. I set my plan for 2# and limited my calories accordingly. I try to aim for higher fiber and protein, but otherwise eat anything and everything I can fit into those calories. For activity I just make it a point to walk more. I am not going to the gym or really changing anything major. Just walking more and biking a little. Probably the biggest change, and why I call it my PM plan is mowing the yard. I have a rather large yard and it pretty much requires a riding mower. This year I never got the rider out of the shed, I have pushed mowed (PM) it every single time. Rather than "walking around town aimlessly", I have a purpose and a schedule. It needs mowed, and it needs it now. :) I have already killed off and replaced my push mower this year, so I guess that is the cost of this plan. Sorry to keep rambling, I am still just amazed with the number 50 popped up this morning. And I am amazed how fast 4 months, and 50 pounds, has gone! I am not bored with the food or exercise. I am not stuck in a rut or hitting a plateau. I am happy and it is working. I hope that these random ramblings will encourage you if you are looking for some reason to keep going. I know this sub has encouraged me over the years. I should also mention, there is one more "tool" I use in addition to LoseIt. I track my weekly weight loss totals in a google spreadsheet to help me keep track. This is a screenshot of that graph. As you can see, just a couple weeks ago I had my worse week since I started. I got a little complacent with the holiday and things slipped a bit. I put my foot down and got things back on track pretty quickly. [link] [comments] |
