I just weighed in this morning to see that I now have a BMI under 30, putting me into the overweight category rather than obese!
This sub and everyone here are amazing, going through posts every day gave me motivation to keep going and not give up. You guys have no idea how much I appreciate this sub, and how it gives such an amazingly safe place to celebrate achievements, ask for advice, share progress, and everything in between!
I initially started my weight loss journey the week I figured out my older brother got diagnosed with type two diabetes and had to go on insulin, suddenly this fear I thought could never affect me was almost CERTAINLY going to affect me if I didn’t make a change. I never got motivated enough to actually stick to something until I found this sub. I always had made plans I never stuck to, telling myself I would do it next year and that it’d all be fine, but finally I just had actually START it. I calculated my TDEE, downloaded LoseIt, and have been on CICO ever since eating around 1,700 calories a day. My family has been super supportive of me doing this, and have been cooking meals with me all the time! We’re going on walks, my dad has been sharing his weight lifting routines with me, and there’s nothing but good healthy foods in the fridge.
I’ve got a long life I wanna live, a lot of stuff I wanna do, while I don’t want to sound super dramatic, this sub honestly might have saved my life or at least prolonged it. So, thank you everyone. While I still got a ways to go, I’m so excited to be making true and meaningful progress. Keep going, stay motivated, and stay healthy!
