I've been lurking around here for a while and haven't posted at all. I mostly just read posts to get inspired to go out and do something or get ideas from people in similar situations to me.
I've always been on the bigger side. When I got out of high school 12 years ago I was over 400 pounds. I lost about 150 in college, joined the military a few years back and have always hovered around 230-240 for the last several years.
I went through some mental health issues earlier this year, but through the help of a couple coworkers and a good doc, I was able to get through all that.
I weighed myself in February and I was around 230. After my mental health issues got looked into, I started working out with 2 of my coworkers. I wouldn't say I've been eating better, I've just been eating less.
I normally skip breakfast (I get up a 430 and leave by 445), have a decent lunch, and a small dinner. Working out with my coworkers in the morning then sometimes again in the evening curbs my appetite surprisingly.
I just weighed myself again the other day for the first time in 5 months. I'm doen to 207, 8 pounds below my goal weight of 215. I still have a visible gut, so I have some more work to do. My ability to run has also improved. I've gone from a 9-10 minute mile to a 7:30-8 minute mile.
I still have a ways to go in my personal fitness journey, but I want to just say thank you to r/loseit for being there for me to read and get inspired by everyone else's progress.
