Hi I’m new here, I joined reddit to help me gain knowledge on my weight loss journey. I started my weight loss journey three months ago and it’s really difficult but I’m not giving up. I’m 20 years old, female, 158cm, and my starting weight was 19 stones (266lb) and now I’m 17 stones 4lb (243.6lb). The way I’ve been doing it is I changed my entire lifestyle and diet. I use to never do any activities and I use to never control what I ate (clearly lol), all I did was carry on eating junk and expand my stomach. I hated my life so I chose food to distract myself and that’s when I gained so much weight. I’ve always been quite chubby but not huge as I am now, so I decided enough was enough, I needed to change my ways. So I signed up to the gym and slowly changed my diet. I’ve been to the gym in the past so I knew what my body was capable of, so I started going to the gym 4 times a week. My goal was to do 300 calories on the machines every time I went. I stuck to that and surprisingly I found it quite easy. The hardest part was changing my diet, I started eating healthier and drinking lots of water, I carried a hydro flask with me and drank 2.5 litres everyday. I also reduced my portion size, I ate frequently throughout the day but everything I ate was healthy, I would treat myself every two weeks to a cheat meal and I think thats what kept me going lol. I’m still losing weight so I’m carrying on everything that I mentioned above it’s just that it’s quite hard because there is a time where the pounds take longer to come off which means I need to change something, for example do more in the gym or eat more greens. One thing I’ve been doing which has helped me massively is keeping a food diary, it’s helped me track what I’ve been eating and what I may need to be eating less off. I definitely recommend it if you’re starting out. Also I DO NOT COUNT CALORIES. I’ve done this in the past and it hasn’t gone well, I get too obsessed and it isn’t good for my mental health.
Anyways I’m proud of myself even if it’s a tiny victory, I’ve shown myself that it is possible and I can carry on, no matter how long it takes I will get there.
