I have been on a 4 years journey of weight loss. When I started, I was hovering around 275 for several years. Now I'm down to 225. My goal is still to hit 200, but I have finally hit my 50lbs milestone.
Intermittent fasting, and keeping carbs to a minimum has been the largest part of my weight loss over the past year. Even though exercise is a small percentage of actual weight loss, it has helped keep me on schedule with my eating habits.
I started by falling in love with hiking, and pushing myself with short burst elevation workouts. That turned into running, and I just completed my first 10K this past weekend.
I recently came across an old photo, and it all kind of clicked how much weight I had really lost. When you lose in slow bursts, your brain can normalize your current weight.
Anyone reading this, you can do it! I was once where you may be right now. Maybe even a little discouraged. When my eating habits became a routine and I stopped focusing on struggling with it, that's when the results started to naturally take effect.

TL;DR - Went from couch to 10k in four years, but it was all worth it in the end.
