I started weight loss on August 2018 at my SW, and can now say that I am finally done with it — 90 lbs down (with CICO)! I really wanted to cut down further to 141 and lower, but decided that a bulk (small surplus) for muscle would make more sense in terms of getting rid of skinny fat, so on we go!

Tips and things I’ve learned throughout the weight loss:

• The hardest part of doing anything is just starting. If you want to go to the gym, just go. Once you get there, you’ll have a hard time convincing yourself to go back home while you’re there, and chances are you’ll actually do something.

• There will be tough days. Some days you’ll be hungry and it’ll suck. Life is hard, but we still live it and do hard things to get what we want.

• Discipline is your sword and shield. Use it! Build good habits now and in the future you’ll find yourself following them even if you don’t want to. Weight loss is so much easier when you have built good habits!

• Our brains stink at noticing change, don’t let it discourage you. I still see the same 241 lbs guy in the mirror, but it’s clear that’s not what is there! Focus on making tomorrow better.

r/loseit was a great place for accountability and I’ve enjoyed posting on here and MFP throughout the process! :) Hope this post may inspire you guys like you have with me! The Pokemon Challenge earlier this year was fun and I am looking forward to the Wizardry one #TeamTransfiguration. If you haven’t joined yet you should, it’s a great way to meet new people and find good accountability!
