I transitioned! I found my natural waist

-

Big men eventually make a decision to wear their pants over or under the gut. I was a 6'3 480# under gut man. It caused me to have to wear really big and tall shirts and/or to tuck in an undershirt to avoid my gut hanging out the bottom of the shirt. WLS in 2015 allowed me to lose 240#'s but I was steadily gaining it back. I miraculously ended up in AA and then OA and have rededicated myself to losing and maintaining my weight. I am sugar free, white flour free and do not snack. I don't maintain any particular diet other than that. I don't count carbs or calories. I got abstinent in October 2018 and have gone from 263 to 222. I have a massive amount of loose skin on my abdomen and thighs but I am, as of this week, wearing my pants at my natural waist. Huge victory for me. Same pants, I'm just wearing them 3 or 4 inches higher. I am a clothes horse and a thrift store junkie so this opens a whole new world for me! I went from 6xlt shirts to Large! 52w 32l jeans to 36w/34l.

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/
