After many failed weight loss attempts and with the stress of law school behind me, I decided to take another shot at getting healthy on June 1, 2017. At the time I weighed around 450 pounds. Now, 18 months later I have been maintaining in the 190's for the past couple of months.
I started with small changes to my diet, like removing fast food, and just kept eating less and less as my weight dropped. I went from drinking soda, to low calorie lemonade, to just water. A typical day includes a breakfast sandwich or wrap, a protein shake for lunch, and then chicken and vegetables for dinner. I don't count calories but I eat things that are lower in calories and low in carbs.
When I started I would walk a lot, 2-3 hours on workdays and 5-8 hours a day on the weekends. Over the past 4 or 5 months, I transitioned from just walking to running and I ran my first half marathon on November 11.
I am now just working to maintain my weight, and after I have shoulder surgery next week, I hope to add some muscle.
