Hey guys!! I’ve recently started seeing movement on the scale again. I am 5’7 male and I weighed 190. Currently weigh 165. I started my journey back in September 2019. Between September and January I lost 20 lbs. I was excited to see progress and all I had done was intermittent fasting (16:8). I was still eating the same garbage and not exercising.
Fast forward to the end of January and progress just kinda stopped. Between January to April I didn’t loose a pound! I was devastated. I was Intermittent fasting less regularly, but still at least 4/5 days a week. I figured out why.
Between January and April, I fell into the trap that if I exercise to loose weight I can eat more. I would over eat and undo any progress that I made at the gym. I know everyone says that diet is more central to weight loss than exercise, but I didn’t really believe it. Please please please—the old cliche is true—you can’t outrun a bad diet.
You guys inspired me to actually count my calories! Between mid April and today I have lost 5 pounds. I am eating 1500 calories a day and I am still exercising but my mentality has changed. I think that the majority of my weight loss will come from my diet, but I exercise for the other physiological benefits it provides my body. If you’re struggling at a plateau and if my story sounds familiar I hope this helps! I am excited to keep pressing forward and loosing more weight!!! Good luck everyone. Let’s keep putting in the hard work and the results are sure to come.
