I’ve lost ~55lbs through a calorie deficit in the past when I was in high school. For reference I’m 5’7 and lost it slowly over two years with a couple breaks. Well now I’m 25 and have creeped back up to 190 lbs and got scolded by my doctor for being “technically” obese (even though going off of BMI if bullshite 😌) but my weight is not where I want it to be and I haven’t been taking care of myself for a bit. So this is my first diary entry after about a month of changes. I’m posting this here to hype myself up (and hopefully someone else!!) into keeping that motivation because the beginning is ALWAYS the hardest when you feel like nothing you’re doing is working AND there’s no visible changes yet. So for those of you in the same boat or thinking to start maybe this will be helpful! Don’t judge! And be kind please I’m figuring this out like everyone else <3 for some other context I also have an auto-immune disease so I struggle with chronic inflammation and extreme fatigue so if that’s you too welcome to the clurb. Small victories is what I’m all about.
September 29th, 2025 12:32pm I started September 3rd with logging my food, my first calorie deficit budget was 1333 but I haven’t been seeing loss as quickly as I’d like (my goal is ~1-1.5 lbs a week) so today I dipped it down to 1250 temporarily!! On September 4th I took my start photo and logged my starting weight of 189.4lb. As of today I’m 187 lbs with my lowest weight this month being 184.2 lbs. I attribute the not so huge weight loss to being primarily sedentary the last month, and not getting good sleep. When I was sleeping through the night I saw more loss AND less hunger the next day. I also think I might be on my period rn. I’m hoping once I start working I’ll get more steps in and I’ll be taking vyvanse on a more consistent basis bringing my overall appetite down. I’ve been swimming around 1000 meters about once a week but I should strive for 2 times a week. I also added in some body weight exercises. I’m on day 3 of Rosie Grahams 30 day video series and since starting that I’ve seen some changes in my stomach!! I also got a tape measure and will remeasure myself on October 23rd. Overall some takeaways for this month, I’m gradually but slowlyyy losing weight. I need to keep myself motivated and add a bit more consistency to working out. With added body weight exercises my weight WILL NOT go down as quickly as I’d like it to due to some muscle growth BUT I can focus on the measurements and how I feel!! I think having a short term goal to work towards like fitting in to my high waisted jeans annnd looking and feeling good when I see [redacted out of town boys name 😉] is helping. I’m not striving for perfection just consistency. My weight won’t be where I want it to be WHEN I want it to be BUT that’s ok. STATS: * Current Calorie Budget: 1250 * Current weight: 187 lb * STG: 175 around Christmas * Progress pic in My FP October 18th * Next Body Measurements in RENPHO October 23rd.
Monthly Goals: * Complete Rosie Grahams 30 day videos * Drink more water * Get better sleep!! * Increase daily step count * Swim at least twice a week
