Hi r/loseit !
I've never made many posts on here about my weight loss here or in many other places, but I thought my journey so far could serve as some motivation to keep all you guys on track!

What are my tips?
For me, going to see a doctor about my weight was enough of a kick to really get me started. It made it real in my mind that staying how I was would start to really impact my ability to do the things I love to do, And bullying was a pretty big issue for me at the time so that added to my motivation. A doctor probably won't tell you anything you don't already know, but they might give you the kick you need.
Something I'm still struggling with - stopping myself from obsessing over small details, especially while doing CICO. As soon as my calorie budget goes into the red it's like I have a mini panic attack! Even if it's only by 50 or so calories. As long as you're in a calorie deficit on average, there's no reason why you can't lose it!
While maybe not possible for many people because of how expensive protein sources can be, I found cutting out most of the carbs I ate for a while really helped - white bread, crisps etc were my main vices.
What am I doing now?
To keep myself interested, I'm going to start lifting heavier - with stronglifts 5x5, to try and get some of my strength back. I'm planning to lean bulk for the foreseeable future.
Sorry if this is all stuff you've heard before, I just thought I could help some people out with what I've been doing for the past year. :)
