20F, 5’8“, SW:195 CW:188 GW:150
This might sound obvious to some, but I still wanted to share. I’ve restarted my weight loss journey in April and figured the only way I was gonna make progress was to track the days I stayed within my calories and the days I went over. My goal was to be 80% consistent and I met it by staying within my calories 24/30 days.
I used a white board and put a red X on each day I stayed on track and a black O on each day I went over my calories (this method was first developed by Jordan Syatt I believe). My goal of staying 80% consistent allowed me to enjoy social gatherings (this month’s main event was Mother’s Day) without guilt and without ruining my progress.
Overall having a visual representation of my consistency really helped me stay on track and having consistency as a goal meant wasn’t obsessing over the scale since I had another data point to measure.
All this to say that I lost 7lbs in a month (averaging a pretty sutainable 1.75lbs a week) and I highly recommend visually tracking your consistency to anyone trying to lose weight or trying to form any good habit really.
