Starting to lose weight again - Need some Accountability

(Longtime Lurker - Made an account to start posting)

Just some info to start:

I'm currently 20 years old (F) and weigh 205 lbs. My highest weight was 210+ last November.

I started my first (actually trying) weight loss journey around November/December 2019 and, with the help of an amazing life fitness instructor and fun spin cycle class, I got down to my lowest weight (187) in probably the last 5 or so years. It was wonderful and I was extremely motivated, until world events happened and I was stuck at home for about 2-3 months. I got back on the scale for the first time since then about two weeks ago and realized that I lost essentially all of my progress. At first I was pretty devastated, but I've lost weight before and I can do it again.

Some stats and things:

CW: 205

Short-Term GW: Under 200

GW: 150

Height: 5'4"

Calories: Aiming for 1200-1350 a day

Superficial Goal: Seeing my collarbone would be pretty cool

Short-Term Fitness Goal: Literally just 1 burpee

​

(Edit) Forgot to talk about exercise:

At least 30-minutes of exercise a day, aiming to increase the amount of time and also to dedicate more of that time to strength training.

(Some stats for strength/muscle progress: 10 push-ups (modified, 1 minute limit), 30 crunches (1 minute limit), 2 sit-ups (how do y'all do it), not a single burpee)

More Information:

I am currently a college student and studying in a field I find awesome! I've been really excited to get back to class and lab to continue learning and will hopefully be graduating in the spring. However, I've recently been thinking about joining the military (a long-time back-burner thought that now won't leave me alone) after I graduate, and I very obviously don't meet the requirements (weight wise and fitness wise).

I was originally doing almost exclusively cardio (45-50 minute intense spin cycle with maybe 5-10 minute strength/resistance training), but I know that continuing to do just cardio wouldn't be as productive as a combo.

Essentially, I'm asking for some good tips on at-home resistance training, healthy eating, and anything else weight loss related please!

​

Thanks for reading all the way through! I'm not sure if I'll ever include pics, but I'll definitely keep updating here occasionally, or start a blog somewhere. Cheers!
