Hi, so basically, TLDR: I’m M, 35 years. I’m 174cm and around 110kg now. I’d like to be somewhere closer to 80kg. I want to set a goal of July 2022 to get somewhere, I don’t need to set a rigid target as this is a long term thing— but I do want to have made noticeable progress by then.
I was always a chubby kid, was bullied a lot at school and developed an eating disorder— binge and emotional eating. In my early twenties I started exercising like crazy, and got down to somewhere in the 65-75kg region. But in the past few years, I’ve struggled with depression, a bad breakup, and a stressful work life, and have seen myself steadily go up to 90kg (2019) and now to 110kg (2021). My cholesterol levels are too high, I feel lethargic, and while I don’t care about having abs, I do want to look slimmer.
There are obvious things I can do— more exercise, no fizzy drinks, regular meals. I don’t drink more than a couple of glasses of wine a week. I see a therapist to work on emotional eating and depression. But I’m a bit overwhelmed by weight loss tips and don’t know where to begin. Whether to just use common sense and “eat less move more” or to try a special diet like Keto or intermittent fasting, or use an app like Noom. And I don’t know whether diet is the most important thing or whether I need to be spending all my spare time in the gym every day too.
All I know is that: a) I want to lose a lot of body fat and get back to where I was a few years ago; b) I want to be ambitious in my goals without following an unsustainable crash diet or relapsing into emotional eating behaviors.
Wondering if anyone here has any advice for ambitious but doable weight loss goals with a six month timeframe. I can provide more info in comments. Thank you!
