250lbs For The First Time In Years!

Long time lurker here, made a throwaway for this because people know my main account.

I'm a 24M, 5'8" and have typically floated between 19-20 stone (266-280lbs) in recent years. After a depression hit 2019, getting therapy and realising that I couldn't go on the way I was, I made the decision to fully commit to losing weight. I started on 1st January 2020 at about 263lbs and this morning I weighed in at 250lbs for the first time in years. Maybe it's not a lot, but it's steady progress and I'm so pleased with it.

I just wanted to say thank you. Through this sub I learned about CICO and actually took an interest in what I was putting into my body. I've cut out fizzy drinks entirely, cooked my meals from fresh, massively upped my intake of fruit & veg and controlled my portion sizes to fit a regular calorie intake. I now exercise 6 days a week (20 minutes cardio and some light muscle work) with Saturday being my day off.

I already feel and look healthier, both physically and mentally. I'm more motivated to keep up with my weight loss more than I have ever been! I've even found that I have motivation elsewhere in life as a result - I'm teaching myself Italian now! Reading people's stories on here has massively helped me, so once more...

THANK YOU!
