Hi all, 21F 5’11 179lbs here. Up until I was 18, I’ve always been a healthy weight around 155-160lbs. Sadly never thin enough to model, but I’m also well endowed so, you win some you lose some. I started slowly gaining weight until I am where I am now, at my heaviest during lockdown I’m sure the scale said 183.
When someone starts a weight loss journey at much heavier than me, I’ve always heard about how their small lifestyle and exercise changes helped them lose 50+ lbs at a time - until they get down to the last 25 lbs or so, then it gets much harder. So for me, starting my weight loss journey at the lowest rung, so to speak, I feel as if the energy input for weight loss is so much larger than the relatively small amount of weight I want to lose (~25-30lbs). I’m already at the “final stretch” but at the beginning, if that makes sense.
I’m struggling cause I’ve never had to try and lose weight ever in my life. I’ve had years of nutrition and fitness education while growing up, so it’s not lack of information or know how that’s the problem. I guess my question is, does it get easier? Is it possible to just lose a few pounds at a time? I try to stay under 1200 calories a day cause I’m currently very sedentary for my job and school. I do eat some junk food but also my veggies and macros and it’s still under the limit. I’m getting back into martial arts now that I’m vaccinated as well so my regular exercise will be back too. Is there anything else I can do? Anyone in a similar situation have any tips?
