Hi guys!
I’ve been a long time lurker of this sub reddit and other fitness/eating right sub reddits, and I decided it was time to join all of you in your weight loss journeys.
Current height: 5’2 Current weight: 180 lbs
A bit of backstory on me I was always a little more chubby growing up due to my parents feeding me junk food or just over feeding me. This led me to develop a bad relationship with food in general. In highschool I was around 140-150 lbs.
Jump forward a little to age 19 and I started to notice I gained 10 pounds and was now 160 lbs. I never thought anything of it and just went forward since I didn’t really see a change in how I looked.
Around the age of 20 I gained another 10 pounds and was at 170 lbs. I started to panic because I didn’t want to become overweight like my family members and started doing cardio and CICO. I dropped back down to 160 but after some personal issues going on I shout back up to 170.
I started doing weights and cardio while not following CICO properly (eating way more calories than I was burning). So I stayed at 170 for awhile until now. With everything happening with Covid-19 I was not able to go to the gym, although I completely understand why and encourage them to remain closed for the safety of everyone. This coupled with my eating habits caused me to jump to now 180 lbs at 21 years old.
I don’t want to end up like my family who have a multitude of health issues due their weight, and I also want to be able to look in a mirror and not feel like I look bad in everything.
Throughout this my boyfriend has remained extremely supportive of me even when I’ve failed time and tome again. This time however I don’t want to fail I want to get better and reach a goal weight of 140.
To do this I’m going to start by following CICO properly and eating within 1200-1400 calories a day while also doing cardio (running for an hour outside), and doing weights (10- 20 lbs).
The reason I’m posting this here is to hold myself accountable even if no one reads this. I’ll be posting weekly updates on my weight as well as my journey to 140. Thank you to everyone that took the time to read this! Feel free to leave any comments with helpful suggestions :)
