Here is a quick history on me and my weight:
I am 27 years old and 5 ‘ 4”. Obesity runs in my family, and I hit my heaviest weight of about 270 pounds in 2015. Had weight loss surgery (sleeve) and got down to 155 pounds over the next year. Around 2018 I went through a bad breakup and ended up gaining 30 pounds back so I was 184 pounds. Last year in late summer I would say, I got my ass into gear and lost 20 pounds…. Now I weigh 166 pounds and have for the past couple of months. Oh and all of this weight loss was done with ZERO exercise. So, being stuck at 166, I joined the gym at the end of January and have been going at least 3 times a week doing both cardio and weights, I spend anywhere from 1.5 hours to 2 hours there. I had hoped that adding exercise to my routine would help my body lose more weight and, because of my significant weight loss, improve the overall appearance of my body. Oh yeah, I even began drinking a shit ton of water- AT LEAST 70 oz on the days I work out.
ANYWAY, I am at the end of February and THE SCALE HAS NOT CHANGED. Granted, I did have a week long cruise at the beginning of February (2nd-9th) where I did not work out or watch what I ate, but I immediately picked up my gym routine upon returning home and have still failed to lose anything. I even took pictures and compared them to pictures I took when I first started the gym and there is no improvement.
I have been really happy lately, which after suffering years of depression, this is honestly the first time I’ve felt this way. Unfortunately, this whole weight thing is really discouraging me. I don’t want to see myself spiral into an obsession where I barely eat and work out for 3 hours a day every day, but I am so frustrated!
BTW, I’m typing this on my phone so I apologize if anything is wonky in my typing.
Advice is NEEDED and APPRECIATED.
