I'm 5'3" and 18f. I've never been overweight, but i noticed I was gaining in my stomach. I was no longer confident in my body, and decided I wanted to tighten it up. I started working out daily 3 months ago, and my first weigh in was 140lbs. I quickly lost ~7lbs, but then hit a plateau.
Discouraged, I unknowingly shifted my goal from getting a flat stomach to becoming a healthier person. I started counting my calories, and in turn began to eat healthier foods. It's not hard to stay within my net calorie goals for the day, if I want to eat more, I just work out more. And after a lot of work, today I finally hit 130lbs! My halfway mark!
I'm not only losing weight, but also saving so much money on not eating takeout and random little snacks I don't need. Don't get me wrong, if I want a price of cake, I'll have a piece of cake. But I don't crave it as much and I make sure to work it off. Being someone with a huge sweet tooth, not craving sweets anymore came as a huge surprise.
This journey so far has come with a lot of surprises actually! I found myself feeling so much better throughout the day. My sleep is deeper and my mood has improved greatly. The biggest surprise is that I finally enjoy exercising! I was so out of shape at the start, I HATED exercize. I almost had breakdowns about having to go hiking or going to do my work out at the beginning of my weight loss journey. But the other day, I found myself craving a hike! And going out to do my daily work out is no longer a chore, I actually almost look foward to it!
It was very difficult to get down 10lbs, but now I feel I'm on the right track. If I keep it up, I'll be at my goal weight in no time!
