When my father became sick I quit caring about myself to help care for him. Now that he has passed I’m working on getting back to where I started and finally feeling good about myself again.

-

Long story short my father was diagnosed with a terminal illness completely debilitating him, and over the course of 2 years my mother and I gave him 24/7 care until he passed due to complications of his disease. During that time I put my life on hold to spend what little time left I had with my father to help out my mother and him. Weight has always been something that I have had to deal with, and this is my second time of having to lose a large amount of weight however this was my highest SW: 275. Prior to my father’s illness my highest weight was 240 pounds, and with the help of copious amounts of beer and depression I beat my record! All jokes aside I had to get my life and body back into shape so I quit drinking to excess cutting it back to maybe one day a week, and started working out (weight lifting and running one mile) coupled with OMAD. The previous time I cut weight I did strict calorie counting staying around 1200 calories a day and added more calories if I worked out that day, and I basically did the same thing with IF at 16:8 and then into OMAD once I got use to eating less again. Now I am at a stable weight, but still want to get back to my previous weight of around 190. To give y’all an idea of my weight fluctuations when I was ~20 I went from 240 to 165 in 8 months, and this time around at ~28 years old I went from 275 to 215 in 6 months.

And before y’all ask the cut in my stomach is literally a surgical scar from being cut in half. If I were to have a 6-pack (hopefully sometime soon) it bisects my first row of abdominals giving me a literally cut between my first and second row of abs 😂

So stats as of right now: Height: 6’2 SW: 275 CW: ~215 GW: 180-190

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/
