So I mentioned not owning a scale (in my previous post) as my bf didn’t have one when I moved in over the summer, and it’s just not been a priority for me to purchase. I lost 5 inches of my hip circumference and had a doc appointment coming up, so I wondered if inches lost would correlate with any significant weight loss.
Well when I weighed in at the doc office yesterday, my current weight was 270lbs!
I don’t think I’ve ever lost that much weight absentmindedly. I don’t have an exact timeline for how long that took, but I know I weighed 320lbs at some point between March and April. 50lbs lost since then seems pretty reasonable to me.
As I mentioned in my previous post, the major changes that brought on the weight loss were that my partner loves to cook, and cooks mostly healthy shit, so I started eating better than I had in years when I moved in. That was July. We also are moderately active in that we will go to the beach regularly and comb for oyster shells for the chickens, or go hiking. I will occasionally go on a one mile walk around the neighborhood, but it has been done very infrequently. I have also slowly started to incorporate yoga and generally stretching in the mornings.
I am definitely going to start ramping up my efforts now that I have seen such a result from the minimal effort I’ve put in, but I’m still going to take a very relaxed approach to it. I am being type A about other things in that I’m tracking my progress, but with weight loss, I am going to remain chill about it. They always say it’s a lifestyle change, and it always felt like I was giving up something, but I’m already living differently than I was six months ago, and it feels normal to me. There was no black and white transition from eating shitty and being inactive to being otherwise, and I think that might be why it felt like a naturally occurring thing. Hopefully this chill approach works for me this time lol I mean technically it already has 😊 so we shall see what the future holds.
