NEW goal weight: 50-55 but focusing on how my body looks and feels compared to a number.
Guys I did it!! In 2015 I was absolutely sick of my size and tried out My Fitness Pal to keep a log of my weight loss. It was an incredibly slow battle and I don't think my heart was fully in it. Made some attempts but ultimately ended up not going on the app until January 2017 when I tracked progress until July. This year in March I decided to get my life and health together and really stick to it. I joined this sub and started reading for suggestions and motivations. I joined r/running and took that up a few times a week and I also made it a goal to finally be able to do the splits (I can do a right leg front split and almost the left!). Running isn't really my thing so I've swapped to yoga and I'm so much happier. I count calories and although I've been veggie for years, a more vegan diet has really been great in keeping me both full and low in calories. My relationship with food has completely changed in which instead of being a comfort it now provides my body with sustenance. I think this has been the most important change as I was most definitely over-eating quite regularly, and nothing healthy either.
I suppose over over those years I lost some naturally and through tons of walking in customer service jobs. In March of this year I started at 70kg (154) and today I finally saw a number on the scale below that of the number I have idolised over the last 5 years. I still have A LOT of work to do but I got to that number and there was a long time where I thought it wouldn't be possible. It is amazing what our bodies are capable of and I am so thankful of this lovely community for sharing this journey with me.
Keep on keepin' on!
Edit:messed up the order of kg/lbs and wanted to keep it constant.
