Also posting this for my accountability and to keep at it. SW was 125kg/275lbs, CW 111kg/244lbs, GW 65kg/143lbs. Height is 169cm or 5'6, F25.
I've gained weight despite being at a deficit slowly over the years. I just thought I was cursed. Being 70kg just 5 years ago, and gaining so much hurt my self esteem a lot.
Then I was diagnosed with Hashimotos and PCOS and everything made sense. Got my medication, cut out inflammatory foods and lost the first 10kg or 22lbs without breaking a single sweat from mid August till December. It just came off. But since then I've been 100% stuck.
I'm still suffering from leaky gut syndrome and stomach aches after eating most of my days, and thus went on a very restrictive low calorie diet to let it rest for half a year or at maximum a year. Basically, 700kcal on weekdays and 1200 saturday and sunday. My doctor is monitoring this with me. I'm also doing workout with resistance bands to keep some muscles each day, two times with a 15 minute length.
Still, my weight didn't budge for the five weeks I've been on it. The past week though, it's like everything suddenly came off. I'm sure it was mostly water retention after loss, because my clothing was loose for a while now without my scale budging. January to February 2021, 115kg to 111,1kg this week. I feel good, I'm not hungry, my hypothyroidism syndromes are less, I'm able to concentrate well. This is my week to break the next chapter of my journey.
I've tried so many diets and reasons to lose before. Nothing sticked. No 'but you'll look good in summer' or 'buy yourself neat clothes' ever did the trick. You want to know what did? The simple thought of sitting cross legged on my computer chair in the summer heat to game again. This might sound stupid, but out of all the things this is what I want to do the most, I miss it so much. There's a reason for everyone that will make them stick to their journey. Be it as simple or stupid sounding as it is; find yours! It's my mantra that I repeat every time I'm not hungry and get cravings. Cross legged in summer, cross legged in summer, cross legged in summer. So far, it works!
