Long time lurker, first time poster! Today I am closer to my goal weight than my starting weight. For the first time in 4 years I am under 145 lbs. I never thought I would see the day when 130lbs was a goal within reach. Even at my fittest as a competitive swimmer, I was always pushing 145. For about a year in 2019, I tried CICO on and off with minimal success. It wasnt until I got a wake-up call measuring in on the scales after the holidays that I realized I needed to take this seriously. Cue r/loseit and r/weightloss. I started taking CICO much more seriously, religiously counting and measuring, and I also started running 2-3 miles a day for a few days of the week because of all the free time during quarantine. A lovely app called Zombies, Run! helped get me motivated to get active again. I also adpoted intermittent fasting for 16/8 hours. I was changing my habits and improving myself. If it hadn't been for subs like this, with posts like this coming across my dashboard of others successes, I dont know if I would have had the motivation (or information) to get to where I am at now. If you are reading this and need motivation: keep it up! You are closer to being a better you today than any other day, be consistent and stick with what works for you. It can be a bit of a long haul but looking back and seeing your progress is worth every bit of effort.
