With a two year journey of highs (SW 282 lbs) and lows (CW 240.8) with roller coastering in between, I have to look at these pictures regularly to not get disheartened. And that's so dumb!
My brain has been my worst enemy through this all, so despite its current protesting, I'm posting this. Because it has been hard work, but I hit my first of three major goals - my wedding weight! (Second goal: 200, Third goal: 160). I'm a 99% lurker, but you guys are what convinced me I could back in 2018.
Lots of life changes, medical issues, and setbacks happened through these two years which led to me ultimately switching from CICO to low-carb around this time last year. At that point, I'd lost 25 but gained back 15. 30 lbs in a year may not sound like much, but it has definitely been a learning experience. I recently added IF (16:8) and, before covid, was doing HIIT 2-3 hours a week.
The biggest thing that has helped me stick to this go-round has been investing in snacks before I want them. Always having a healthy alternative has been such a huge help!
I plan to continue lurking for the next part of this journey. :)
I hope you enjoy these progress pics showing 282 to 240!
