New to Reddit // Down 70 lbs

Yo,

I'm new to reddit, but I've been a fan for a while. I'm not really sure why I choose reddit to tell my story, but here it goes.

I've been overweight since jr high. I'm 33 now, (5'7") and earlier this year I weighed 235 lbs (36.8 bmi/Class 2 obesity). I know how I got there. But I had accepted it. In April I got a really bad flu and dropped 8 lbs. When I got my appetite back, and realized that I had lost a lot of weight, I decided to try and eat healthy. In one week I dropped another 2 lbs. And because Instagram is always listening to me, it started to suggest diet apps. I subscribed to Noom and ended up doing strict calorie counting for 2 months. Dropped 10 lbs/month. I've sustained a similar weight loss since then and am now 165 lbs.

There's more to the story, but I thought I'd tell the internet that I'm proud of myself. I hope some people are encouraged by this. I've never posted anything honest or sincere on the internet. Nothing malicious either. So expressing vulnerability here is strange.

If it's not too pretentious to offer, I'm open to questions about specifics or anything really.

Thanks.
