SV I officially reached my goal!

F/5’11/27/SW:240/GW:170/CW:169.5

I started this journey after finally overcoming years of depression and deciding enough was enough. I have lost 70 pounds through CICO, IF, exercise, and the last few weeks OMAD.

One day I was laying in bed watching Netflix and snacking on a family sized bad of potato chips when my chest started to hurt. I had an epiphany that I was slowly killing myself. I rolled up the chips, gave them to my sister, and then immediately went for a walk. Ever since that night I feel like my lifestyle changed. It felt like a switch went off in my brain. Getting to that moment was difficult though I battled severe depression for almost 8 years and before that night had slowly started adding positive changes in my life. Things I was completely in control of. Things like flossing my teeth every night and making myself stretch for at least 10 mins before bed.

These small changes led to me feeling better about my day to day choices which made me want to continue making positive changes. I cut out soda cold turkey on October 8th 2019 and haven’t had one sip since. One week later was the epiphany in bed and since then I have lost just over 70lbs.

This journey has been so eye opening. The way I treated food was unhealthy and now I have a much better understanding of my body and when to stop eating. I went from not being able to run for more than a few minutes to being able to run a 5k without stopping. I went from a 2XL to a S and a size 14/16 pant to a size 6.

Although I didn’t post much in here I was on this sub as well as r/progresspics and r/OMAD almost everyday reading posts to keep me motivated. I plan to lose 5 more pounds as a buffer and then move into maintenance mode. I’ve decided that calorie counting will always be apart of my life because I enjoy keeping track of my intake to keep myself accountable.

Although I didn’t post much I want to say thank you to every person in this sub because every single post gave me motivation to keep going and I hope my post will help motivate people as well.

I've lurked on here for awhile but never posted. Seeing all the changes you guys made helped my girlfriend and I finally start thinking about our health and the future. We we're around 280-270 at 5ft 8in. We promised to lose weight in January and decided to run with it. After looking at all the different ways people lost weight, we decided that trying to go vegetarian and counting calories would probably work the best. We limited ourselves to 1600 calories a day and kept at it. I eventually went back to meat simply because the vegetarian meat substitute was starting to get expensive (I can buy chicken patties and get twice as much for the same price). We haven't exercised one bit but we are looking forward to hiking and doing more Sports this summer. I used to BMX race when I was younger and I really want to get back to doing that or mountain biking. The biggest hurdle for me to get over was to stop stress-eating. I've had long standing issues with some mild depression

I’ve been “trying” to lose weight since June. I am OFFICIALLY starting tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the first of the month AND the first of a week, so it seems as good a time as any to get started. I got engaged in June of last year, and wanted to start losing weight for my upcoming wedding in July then. But I just... didn’t. I tried lazily to eat a little bit better and work out a bit, but I never made a commitment. I would LOVE if I would have started in June. I’d be so much further along! But now, I’m starting tomorrow. So in 3 months I don’t say “I’d be in such a better place if I started in April!” A quote I really love is: “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” So let’s get it! Excited to join this incredible and welcoming community, and finally lose this weight. submitted by /u/lilspaghettigrandma [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/b7vfnk/ive_been_trying_to_lose_weight_since_june_i_am/
