First time poster, but I followed this subreddit when I first began my weight loss journey so I felt like sharing the results. Three years ago I was at my worst. I weighted around 270 lbs (I don't know how much exactly because was in denial when I started using myfitnesspal). I was depressed due to some horrible living situations and pretty much just drank on a daily basis. My roommates at the time would also drink pretty heavily. Like I would buy a six pack and think this will be good for the week and end up finishing it in a night. I went camping and I saw a picture of myself and I absolutely hated it.
I used to be very skinny in high school and the first few years of college, but I became so depressed and I ended up dropping out of school and therefore drank a ton in order to get myself to go to sleep. I moved out of that house and I gave up drinking during January of 2017. During that time I started to count calories, I went to the gym almost daily, I used to bike a ton so I went to some spin classes, but I really realized that cutting out all that alcohol really kick started my weight loss. I think I lost like 15 pounds in that first month? Something crazy like that. I kept at it. Started to ride again. I would try and hit 15-20 miles a day. I would bike to work and take an extra hour to add on those miles. During the winter I would walk the 4 mile round trip.
Last week I weighed myself at 179. With a ton of work I got myself back to my best. I started dating my gorgeous girlfriend, I got a different job. I was able to become more confident and comfortable with myself.
TLDR: Hit my goal weight following this subreddit. Finally decided to appreciate my accomplishments.
