I know it’s not much, but I managed to lose 4.5lbs in two weeks!!!! My highest weight, two weeks ago, was 230lbs. I’m an 18 year old woman and was recently diagnosed with hyperinsulinemia. I used to jokingly tell myself it would probably take a “professional diagnosis” to actually motivate me to lose weight, and unfortunately I was right. I actually went in to test for PCOS!! At least we caught this early! And I don’t have PCOS. But I have a long way to go before I’m healthy.
My current goal is to lose 40lbs by late August. It sounds like a lot, but if I can keep losing 1.5-2lbs each week I’ll be golden!! Since my doctors visit I’ve been eating more produce (mostly sweet potatoes to replace russet/yukon, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus, and other easy roasting veggies), cooking my own meals, cutting back on my carbs (and replacing with whole grain), and snacking way less. I’m grateful to have caught this as early as I did, and thankfully with enough hard work it’s reversible.
I’m also strangely grateful for the extended period of time at home lately. It’s challenged me to be more thoughtful about my eating and I’m actually starting to feel motivated to go outside and exercise!! For the first time since I can remember!! All around I feel great at the moment and I hope others can appreciate their small victories as well.
Stay safe and healthy! :)
