This has been a journey that took much longer than I anticipated. I haven't been 100% with it all the time. But I'm very proud to have reached my goal I set when I started.
I said 280+ in the title because I honestly wasn't weighing myself back then as it was just depressing. The last time I weighed myself, months before deciding to lose weight, I was pushing 280lbs. So I know I was higher than that.
Since then I tried a number of different "lifestyle changes" to help change those more negative aspects of myself. 15+ inches of hair later and I'm still working on it.
Losing the first 40+ pounds was easy, but I always seemed to plateau or find my way back to ~240lbs.
Everyone commented on the weight loss and said I looked great, but I had set a goal and not reaching it was just as damaging to my mental state as every resource online telling me I was still obese.
In October, I was preparing for my wedding (which was Feb. 1st of this year. Yay!) and had grown complacent/stressed/lazy/etc. I'd regained some weight and was back once again to that dreaded 240.
So I bit the bullet and said if I don't do it right now before the wedding while I have this motivation then I never will. So I started keto which I had heard a lot about. I stuck to it. And 1 day before the wedding (Jan. 31) I climbed onto the scale and saw a 1 in the hundreds place for the first time since I was a kid.
I've maintained since then and am upping my weight/exercise so I'm not just skinny fat. Sorry for the long post, but I had promised myself I'd make this one.
