Today marks my first big milestone! I have officially lost 50 lbs!
I started out my journey back in February. I went to the doctor, and when they weighed me, I was shocked to realize I had hit 375. It was the biggest I had ever been. I've spent my whole life fat. Most of my adult life was spent sitting at 350 or just about. That additional 25 pounds was really showing, in my clothes and my energy. With the help of my best friend (now boyfriend), I started working towards getting to a healthy weight for the first time in my life.
The first few months had a lot of stumbles, especially trying to push myself exercise-wise too hard and hurting myself. I also ended up in the hospital (it was related to a medication I was taking, not the lifestyle change luckily). That put me on hold for a month while I recovered. As soon as I was able to, I was back up, taking daily walks and cutting my calories down to 1500 a day. I was back on track, and the pounds started to melt off. I was fitting in clothes that hadn't fit in years, feeling more energized, and becoming more flexible. As of right now, my waist is starting to appear and my jeans no longer give me a huge muffin top. I was able to wear a 2x again, in a brand that I had only been able to fit in 4x for years. I should be under 300 by my birthday in September.
My goal is 150, or somewhere about there. I know it gets harder as you get smaller, but I've already gotten this far. This community has helped me a lot. My boyfriend and I look through it every week and read the posts together, and it's given me so much hope and motivation. Thank you to everyone here and your stories.
Things are only looking up!
