36f- 5’6.5”- SW: 217, Jan 2021 - CW: 176 - GW: 140
I started intentionally losing weight in late Jan/early Feb this year, because I was diagnosed with a rare condition called Ideopathic Intracranial Hypertension (aka Pseudotumor Cerebri). This condition is more prevalent in people with an obese BMI, and it causes visual disturbances and severe body pain because of pressure in cerebral spinal fluid. The treatment is often weight loss, sometimes meds. I chose to lose weight, and I’ve been successful.
Originally I started with just eating three meals a day, without calorie counting, but cutting snacks and obviously unhealthy food completely. Most of my exercise originally was walking with a stroller, then as time went on I added weights and HIIT. Starting in June, I got the Loseit app and began tracking my food.
Since the beginning of June, I’ve gone from 184 to 176, using CICO. For one pound loss a week I can eat around 1800 cals a day, but more if I exercise. I do usually eat back some of what I earn in the calorie bonus but overall I don’t usually end the day or week above my budget.
Loseit seems less tedious than MFP, in my opinion. I highly encourage people to use it, and to be really honest with it, because change will happen.
