I can't post a photo because I don't do imgur, but I hit 199.2 lbs today! 33F, 5'5".
In September of 2020 I weighed in at my highest ever at 254 lbs. Which, considering the highest healthy weight for my height is 150, put me into morbidly obese territory. It wasn't just the pandemic that fucked my weight. I had a lot of mental health, marital, and family issues too. Throw in some hard-core alcoholism, and I was in very bad shape.
Around March 2021, I started getting really worried about my health. The liquor was taking its toll, and I was genuinely concerned I was headed for severe medical issues, so I decided I had to stop drinking. I had a lot of relapses, but each month I had more and more sober days. In June I got my old job back, started do regular light exercise, and limited my drinking to Saturday nights, though I currently have 16 straight days sober.
I've been doing CICO for 43 days, eating mostly the same foods, but less quantities and with some healthier substitutions. I do an easy 10-minute yoga every morning, and a moderate 35-minute cardio on weekends. My job is moderately physically demanding, and I get about 16k steps a day based on my Fitbit. I alternate my calorie goals each week between sedentary and lightly active. I've also recently added using a mini-elliptical and a weighted hula hoop, but I can only last for a few minutes each so far. I've been trying to eat more protein to make sure I lose more fat than muscle.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm fucking pumped. About 70 lbs to go to my ideal weight!
Keep on keeping on, losers!
