It's my first post here but i thought i share my latest reached goal.
I was always big, when i graduated high school i was 149kg (330lbs) at 197cm (~6'6") but in college i did a lot of sports and got under 300, but with time i did less sports bc of graduation and university and more and more stress and still ate insane portions. So i gained and gained, 5 years ago i had reached 189kg (420lbs), that was the last time i stepped on scale until this year, in the meantime i am sure i gained much more, my size went up from 6XL-8XL (EU not US), exercise stopped more or less completly.
Somewhat like a year ago i started controlling my portions a little more and did some exercise again, like swimming, walks and biking to work. That had some effect, i slowly went down to 6XL again. Then at the end of january this year i finally bought a bathroom scale and kitchen scales and downloaded a calories/fitness app. I weighed 189.5kg (421lbs) on Jan 28th. I started counting calories and restricted myself to 2000kcal/day and did swimming 2 times a week. Since then i started losing weight. With Corona and the swimming pool being closed i do (almost) daily walks (~5km) or bike rides (~25km). By now i dropped to ~1400kcal/day by myself, without forcing it, and eat mainly vegetables, some fish and tofu and little meat. I hope i can hold the habit of fresh cooked meals after the lockdown ends but i am determined to.
Today i weighed in at 155kg (~344.5lbs) which puts me really slightly under 40BMI, so no longer morbidly obese but almost. I have a long way to go and weight loss has gotten slower, as expected, but i keep on going. It feels great and i'm the happiest i have been in years :)
