Hi, this is my first time ever posting here. I’ve been lurking a little trying to get the motivation to start and one day I just went for it.
I’m a 5’4”, 22 year old female. My starting weight was 250lbs. My current weight is 228lbs. My short term goal weight is 199lbs. My long term is 130lbs.
I’ve always been a big kid. Never been a normal weight and was made fun of it in school. In high school, I got down to 175lbs, but as soon as I graduated I just ballooned back up to my middle school weight of 250lb. I told myself two years after graduation that I wanted to be a normal weight by my five year graduation anniversary, but it always seemed like it was never the right time to start losing the weight. I yo-yo-ed between 230lbs and 250lbs for the next two years.
This leads us to now. About two months ago I decided I was through with being over weight for good. I started eating on smaller plates and eating less in general by counting calories. I eat whatever I want, but by eating healthier foods I’ve noticed I can eat more for less. I didn’t start exercising though because I knew it would cause me to binge like it had ever other time I tried to start losing weight. So I stuck to just making better choices with my food.
In these 7 weeks, I’ve went from 250lbs to 228lbs. A 22lb drop! I’ve decided that now that I’m not hungry as often as I use to be and I’m losing weight regularly that I’m going to add walking into my evening routine. My next goal is to get out of the 200s by September 15th when my family is having a reunion. I don’t want to be the overweight family member anymore and it looks like I’m on the path to succeeding.
Thank you for listening to me run on. I was just so excited to be out of the 230s for the first time in years that I had to tell somebody. 😁😁
