For context, I’m 16 and 6’6. When I was young, I was a very skinny kid, up until the age of 8. My father was a meat eater and my mother was a vegetarian. My mother convinced me to go on a vegetarian diet. I do not see a vegetarian diet as healthy or beneficial at all now and back then I hated vegetables. I ate mostly cheese, pasta and other processed foods. Me weight ballooned and I was always the same height if not shorter than everybody else.
At around the age of 13, my weight had ballooned to 250 pounds. I was so obese that I couldn’t run, do press-ups, sit-ups and would get tired from walking around. I watched an expose video on how unhealthy a vegetarian diet was. I decided to quit. I started eating meat. I went back to eating my favourites such as: steak, chicken and lamb. This food filled me and I would only eat three meals a day and wouldn’t snack. I loved eating vegetables when they were combined with meat, so I became more healthy. I steadily lost weight without even exercising. I hit a massive grow spurt and I grew to be much taller than my class mates, becoming the tallest in my school. Before, I was picked on for being obese. But now, no one messed with me.
By the age of 15, I was down to 215 pounds, when my grandfather died and I began to overeat as a coping mechanism and got up to 230 pounds. This was weight I started slowly loosing, after I was in a better emotional state and I started boxing. I got down to 222 pounds. I didn’t have the motivation or time to loose the rest.
Over quarantine, unlike most, I loved my life, felt no stress or pressure and had time to do the things I loved. I decided I wanted to loose the weight. My problem with overeating had always been that I wouldn’t feel hungry until I started eating, then it felt like I had a bottomless pit in my stomach that needed to be filled with food. I just ate one meal a day that had all the calories I need, reduced of course so I’d loose weight, and drank appetite suppressant tea afterwards. I took my dog out to my local field every day and kicked the ball around for him. I started going on runs, doing workouts, taking creatine and supplements. I had managed to drop 16 pounds by the end of the year.
I’m aware of my height, but I’m still really chubby and want to be able to fit into smaller clothes. I’m not happy yet and my BMI says that I’m technically very slightly overweight. This year, I started a 30 day dumbbell workout challenge on YouTube and I’ve really started to see some improvements in my muscles. I’ve kept with the diet of one large meal a day. I’ve increased my runs and the time I take my dog and started biking long distance. I realised I ran into a plateau when I would fluctuate between gaining a pound and going back to my original weight. This has happened for 3 weeks now, I’ve tried reducing my calorie intake and being even more active but this hasn’t improved things. I am currently 206 pounds. I’m trying to loose more weight. Perfect for me would be around 185-195 where the abdominals could start showing. I’m stuck as to how to break free and loose weight. I’ve seen 3 weeks of no progress with constant dieting and extreme physical excessive. I am stuck as to how to escape and be able to loose more weight.
Any suggestions are extremely welcomed
Yours truly, Annonymous Frog
TLDR:
I’m 206 pounds and have been stuck in a weight loss plateau for 3 weeks, any tips? Don’t do vegetarianism kids
