Hi All
Just discovering this sub after almost a year of working on my weight. This time last year I was a mess. I was drinking excessively daily & eating awful. I was over 300 lbs & feeling every bit of it physically & mentally. I committed to sobriety & healthier eating & dropped about 30 lbs without really working harder than changing key habits. I noticed my progress diminishing & started exercising which helped me shed a bit more weight. I got a new job & treated myself to a gym membership which pushed me a little further, but I have absolutely stagnated & have become frustrated.
I am certain part of the issue is building muscle from lifting at gym, but its hard for me to imagine that is offsetting my weight loss to such a degree that I'm a) not seeing any appreciable decrease in weight, and b) not seeing any appreciable results physically.
This week I want to make a further commitment to better eating & better exercising & realizing I am unsure as to what habits I can change or enhance at this stage. I get locked into analysis paralysis that feels as though it becomes worsened by conflicting information or philosophies regarding weight loss & fitness. I am also more than a little intimidated by fitness culture to point where asking people at gym questions is anxiety inducing & I even find myself reluctant to even try certain areas or machines at gym.
Hoping I can connect with some people that would be willing to maintain regular contact to answer questions regarding everything above & more. If there is a better sub for that by all means let me know. Super excited to hear from folks & thanks for reading.
