I'm finally in Onederland today!!! 199lbs!!!!
I haven't been here since I was in grade 8. I'm now 35. So it's been A LOT of years since I've seen that beginning number start with a one!
I started my journey approximately 8 years ago now, at 335lbs. I lost over 100lbs (probably within a year or so) and then maintained for quite a few years, gained about 30-40lbs back over time. Went up and down by about 30lbs a couple times. But really put my mind to it and lost over 50lbs since this past January, with my goal of finally hitting 199lbs by the end of June. Well, I'm ahead of schedule by 12 days :)
Not stopping here, I still have a lot more to lose, my next goal is 179lbs. Then I can say goodbye to obesity.
Incase anyone is curious, I mostly just did calorie counting and walking to lose the weight. Especially the first time around. I've done OMAD in the past during one of my lose 30lbs (and then gain back) phases, and I do currently do IF on many days...mostly because it just works well with my schedule and I feel it's healthy. Also done low carb in the past, it was the same time when I was doing OMAD, it was great for handling cravings and feeling full, but I found it wasn't for me, and like I said, I ended up gaining that 30lbs back.
For me calorie counting has always been the most successful in terms of keeping the weight off because I eat a very similar diet as to what I would just eat normally, just less of it. It really has helped me learn portion control and helped me learn to pick what I want to eat rather than just having everything I want. Example: If I choose to have an ice cream cone today, no problem, but I won't be also getting french fries or chips or anything like that.
Anyway, I just wanted to share, I've been dreaming about this day for a very long time!
