On August 31st of this year, I made and began a 144 day plan to go from being obese to being a healthy weight (285 pounds to 195 at 6'1, 23M). It involved going to the gym 5 days a week, getting into running for the first time, sleeping better, keeping protein high, and of course an imposed caloric deficit.
I have had 100% adherence so far, exceeding my expectations and absolutely crushing this every single day. No cheat meals, no workouts skipped, no overeating. It's been amazing. Today is the morning of day 73, meaning I am officially starting the second half of this journey! 72 days down, 72 to go! I've lost almost 60% of the total weight I want to lose (57% right now), so I'm definitely feeling pretty good going into the second half. 51 pounds down, 39 to go.
I want to hear from anyone who's successfully completed a long weight loss journey. How was the second half compared to the first? Did you find that you had more energy as you got lighter and fitter, or less as the diet fatigue caught up to you and your body got tired of being in a calorie deficit? How was the weight loss slowdown? Were things harder to stick to overall? Or easier as the finish line became that much clearer in your sights?
I really want to know what to expect, so I'd love to hear from anyone else who's completed a journey similar to one I'm on! If anyone's at the start of their journey, I'd love to hear from you too! I had absolutely no clue how big of a difference this would make for me when I was at the beginning. Stick to it and you will be absolutely shocked!
