I'm posting this for my own personal accountability. Feel free to ignore it and go about your awesome days. Just posting this so I have an accurate day/weight/thought process of what's going on.
I started actively losing weight on Jan 13 of this year, at 385 lbs. Today is 4/19 and I'm at 328 lbs. Averaging 3.8 lb/week.
I'm eating between 1300 and 1700 calories per day, averaging a fairly strict 1500-1550.
My next goal is to be at 300 by June 19th.
My goal is to get to 250 by Jan 13 of 2021.
My bonus goal is to maintain my current weight loss rate as best I can. Math shows that I can get to 235 (exactly 150 lbs lost) by mid-October. That would mean maintaining an average of 3.8 lb/week until then, which is doable if I begin to work out.
If I can hit 235 by Thanksgiving, I'll be ecstatic. Most of my family won't have seen me since my Grandpa's funeral in February. For the first time in my adult life, I'll be able to indulge without feeling bad about it.
I graduated high school at 6' 185 in 2004. I shot up in weight in my first two semesters at college to about 215. I went to a different school weighing 240 in 2007. I graduated that school at 330 in 2009. I maintained that except for a brief post-surgery stint at 299 up until the last three years, when I gained to 385. I was having trouble breathing while bending over to tie my shoes. My ass hit both sides of every chair I sat in and I had to be careful about smaller chairs catching my pocket knife clip. I was having trouble finding ANY shirt that fit in a regular store, and was basically relegated to overpriced XL stores. I was searching for a shirt to see a friend last minute, and I couldn't find one that fit at Target or Kohls. I couldn't find a dress shirt at all for my friend's 20's themed NYE party until I went to XL Casual Male. Even 3XL shirts from Duluth were getting snug. 44 pants were fitting tightly. 42s now fit better than 44s did then. Plus seeing 385 lbs on a calibrated medical scale, not to mention the fact that the truck scale at work read me at 380 was a big wake up call.
Feel free to ignore this post, I'm just posting so that when I go back in my profile post history I can get an exact time/date/weight for where I was. I'll probably keep adding to this post later on.
