Hello Redditors,
So, I don’t post in this forum very often, but I do follow it fairly often and I did make a post a while back. I’ve been following a weight loss journey now for quite a while (began on April 20th, 2020) and I did an official one and a half year weigh in on Wednesday morning. My beginning numbers were M/24y/267lbs and very unhappy. To make a long story short, I was only slightly chubby leading up to the pandemic, but lockdown and free delivery on nearly any and all restaurants really piled on the pounds. I had just finished college and started a career and it was easy to fall into the routine of go to work, come home, order food, and mindlessly eat while playing video games or watch tv/movies. I had a background of weight lifting and sports, but with everything locked down and closed, I had no motivation to get myself up to go do anything. I hated what I saw in the mirror and I hated waking up every morning feeling like I had no energy. I looked myself in the mirror and finally promised myself that I would fix my habits.
A year and a half later, on October 20th 2021, my numbers are officially M/25yo/207lbs. I just want to say, for anyone on a weight loss journey, or thinking about starting one, or struggling to continue to find motivation, you can do it. It takes time, and it takes many small step, but the outcome will be worth it. I’m not very good at writing these kinds of things, and I hope I don’t sound too unorganized, but I did want to share my progress in hopes that it inspires some of you all. I still have 20 more pounds to go before I reach my official goal weight.
Stay positive everyone, put in the work and believe in yourself. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. I’ll be back in a couple months with updates for my 2 year check-in. Until then, work hard and stay motivated fellow redditors! Feel free to leave any questions you may have in the comments section!
PS: (I was going to post progress pictures as I’ve also implemented resistance training in with my nutritional changes but the page won’t allow me to attach images)
