Hello, I am a 5'7" 32yo M currently at 272 Lbs. I began my weight loss journey at around 335 lbs two years ago. It's been a struggle as some life events have seen me stall or regain weight. Currently it's Nov and I began again in middle September at 287 lbs. My target weight is around 150 lb.
I made a personal goal to walk 10k steps every day in October and while I fell short some days, I still averaged out 8k steps which I view as progress over the sedentary lifestyle I started with. I exercised with basic calisthenics such as Push-ups, crunches, and squats 2-3 times a week. I've also initiated dieting and clean eating, cutting out most sugar and limiting carbohydrates. I cook my food from basic ingredients with as little of it processed as possible. So far I feel much better psychologically and far more energized. My goal for November is to continue with the foundations I've laid before myself while incorporating additional habits such as calorie counting and intensifying my resistance training. I am currently saving for for powerblock dumb bells and other home gym equipment because I'm more comfortable working out in privacy than dealing with trips to the gym or the high fees in my area.
I realized this past summer that if broke another yearly resolution to 'lose the weight' I doubt I would ever do it. I understand this is a drastic expectation, but my goal is to lose 10-12 Lbs a month. I have been 'chubby' most of my life, and morbidly obese twice in the aftermath of major personal setbacks. I would really like to finally feel comfortable and attractive in my own skin. If anyone can offer me advice as I continue my journey, I would greatly appreciate it.
