Hey everyone, first time poster here (32M/SW-100kg/GW-75kg) but I've been on my weight loss journey since June 1st thanks to this sub. First off, I've gotta thank everyone who's posts I've been reading over the last few months. They've absolutely been the reason I found the drive to start.
I lost control of my weight about 5 years ago after a pretty devastating breakup, and I spiralled into a depression for a few years. In 2014 I was probably around 75kg (165 lbs), and when I finally weighted myself for the first time in May, I had managed to get myself up to 100kg (220lbs). I've been on the right track mentally for a while now, and this sub helped me decide enough was enough.
I downloaded MFP, bought a food scale off Amazon, and struggled my way through the beginnings of CICO lol. Admittedly, I found it super tedious to weigh an ingredient, scan or look it up, enter the amounts, and rinse and repeat with the rest of whatever recipe I was making, but it really did get simpler the more stuff I logged. I cut out probably 80% of the sugar I was eating by adding less sugar to my coffees every day until I could stand the taste of it with just a bit of milk lol. I started going on 45 minute walks on my lunch break every day, and I could really start to see the "face gains", but I got over-confident with my self control and started cheating a little too much. I was eating sugar again, and surprise surprise, I gained 4kg (9lbs) within a 2 week period. Keeping with this sub helped me not stay down on myself for so long and get back on the horse.
So here I am, almost 4 months in and I've lost 14kg (30lbs) since starting June 1st and I've gotta say, it feels awesome to feel proud of myself. I'm pretty much half way to my goal weight (my 5 years ago weight) and even though I still have slip ups, I can actually see the finish line. It's exciting lol. So really this post was just for me to tell my story and say thank you to everyone on this sub for helping me get to this point. It really feels like I'm not doing this alone. Cheers.
