In December I decided I (F26) wanted to be "skinny" before I'm 30. I've had chronic clicking in my knees and ankles for the last two years, and I'll have to undergo surgery someday in the future for this most likely.
On the 6th of December I started intermittent fasting (16:8) and calorie counting (1200 max per day) .
Yesterday, I stepped on the scale and found I've lost the first 10kg. On my heaviest I weighed 128.3kg, yesterday the scale said 118.00.
I'm so impressed by myself, as I believed this wouldn't work as exercise should always be the answer right?
I just wanted to share, because I doubted there would be a way for me to lose weight without any surgery. Exercise gave me excruciating pain in my Knees the day after, and from the loss the last 5-6 weeks I've even noticed less pain from daily activity. It's already showing me that I can do this, and I will do this.
What I've learned:
Discipline and a good kitchen scale, cups and other measuring tools are needed. Don't forget to log everything even if it's a bad day, and try keeping treats on the low. Instead of snacks I only buy healthy snacks, such as fruits (the cost is basically the same, considering what I ate before) and I can enjoy the little things (fex: I allow myself soya sugar free caramel lattes). Water and sugar free/calorie free squash is the best. I would not recommend to start 100% with these rules, start slowly, or you'll crash yourself in a wall which I've done before. Set goals, eat at specific times and avoid unnecessary snacking. If your partner isn't joining you, don't worry - there's no harm in having separate meals.
I hope this helps anyone else, and I'm thankful for this community and how helpful it is for people to see what can be achieved :)
