It’s been 9 months since I started and since I weighed myself. Spreadsheet says I’m down 45 pounds

I’ve been chubby and overweight my whole life.

I’m a 25 year old guy.

I gained 80 pounds in 5 years after graduating high school. 90% of the time in those 5 years I was actively “trying” to lose weight. I went from 180 in 2014 to 267 in July 2019.

I just never stuck to anything.

It was a familiar routine. I’d start a new plan and then when the scale stopped moving I’d soon fall off.

So I got rid of the scale and went all in on CICO and tracking.

I decided to go “all in” on losing weight on October 22, 2020 and was 247 pounds.

I haven’t weighed myself since.

I’ve maniacally tracked every calorie, reevaluated my TDEE regularly, and track my predicted/theoretical weight in a spreadsheet based on my deficit.

According to that I’m down 45 pounds and at my lowest weight since late 2014. I’m down 65 pounds total (I previously lost 20 pounds in two years before starting this journey).

I’ve lost about 7 inches off my waist depending on the day and the weather. It sounds crazy but I can easily go up two or three inches on my waist in the head and humidity.

On those hot and humid days when I’m retaining a ton of water and my clothes are tighter I have to admit I get really tempted to weigh myself. But then the weather cools off and my shorts start falling off again 😂

I’m swimming in shirts that used to fit tight.

I’m going to step on the scale on October 22. I’m pretty excited
