After high school in 2014 when I graduated I was pretty fit I was around 160 pounds, I was working out 5 to 6 times a week. However since 2015 between work and school, partying and drinking with my college friends, having a long-term relationship and a boatload of other excuses, I gained weight over the years and my heaviest was 232 pounds last May.
Last May I decided to focus on my consumption of food and incorporate intermediate fasting. I also attribute my weight loss to working at a lawn company and walking between 10-15 miles a day. I realized as long as I had adequate water and electrolyte intake I could go the entire day without eating, then being able to go home to a healthy meal of salad chicken or tuna and not really be tempted too much by unhealthy foods.
Since this April I've gotten so much more consistent with my fasting and incorporated running into my weekly exercise, my first planned half marathon is in August and my first full marathon is October. I can't believe how much more alive I feel and I'm so glad I made the positive change, it's also inspired my girlfriend to start losing weight as well. It's kind of crazy how important exercise and a healthy way is to your mental health and dealing with anxiety aswell as giving me a new found level of confidence. I am also so happy to see how supportive this subreddit is, you guys rock!
