Six months ago I was 225-230 as a 6' M 23. After a month of attempted healthy eating and a four and a half month stint traveling in Asia and Australia I'm down to 185. I know that's a significant amount of weight loss, and I'm certain a significant amount of that was muscle as I didn't have access to weights but needless to say it's made me very happy.
What's happened in the past is I stress eat and binge eat and balloon up to about 225-230. I'll see that number and get my act together and drop down over 6-9 months, usually with some sort of crazy lifestyle change such as a trip or a more physical job. I get down to about 185 and then go back up again.
I've been talking about wanting to get healthier, and also wanting to have a good physique aesthetically. I'm taking on the Appalachian Trail next year and don't want to be carrying any body weight I don't need. I want to keep pushing to a lower weight but also try to rebuild some muscle.
Told my mom and my second cousin and they said I'm already in good shape and that they don't think I should get any skinnier, or watch what I'm eating that much.
It's kinda frustrating because I don't want to scare anyone but I'm at 20%-25% bodyfat (my scales says 14 but I'm 100% sure that's inaccurate). So I have another 15 or so pounds I could lose.
My sister struggled with anorexia so my whole family is super paranoid about any kind of weightloss, and they're all obese. I'm not exactly sure how to handle the concerns especially if I do get down into the 10-15% range id like to be at.
Any advice?
