Mini success story!
I decided January 2025 that i was ready to focus on myself, when my toddler turned two and i can focus a bit more on myself. Suffered from some bad PPA/PPD and was prescribed lexapro a year and a half ago, which caused some weight gain. Now, after 12 weeks of CICO tracking and light workouts, I'm halfway to my goal!
40f, 5'4", SW 180, CW 164, GW 150
I use lose it! to log meals and track macros, and a fitbit to track calories out/exercise. Im a spreadsheet nerd and have been plugging in as much info as i can to chart my progress. Ive been averaging 1422 calories in and 2772 calories out over the last 12 weeks, with a deficit goal to be around -1250 per day. I'm averaging 13,000 steps per day, with running, walking, dumbells, bodyweight workouts, 12-3-30 treadmill, and yoga for exercise. its not consistent but I fit in what i can with my busy schedule.
My diet is boring.
Breakfast: black coffee, protein shake
Lunch: salad w/ dinner protein leftovers, no dressing
Snacks: nonfat greek yogurt w/ granola, apples, oranges, nuts
Dinner: salad/green vegetable, protein (chicken, steak, pork), rice, quinoa or sweet potato
I try to get >100g of protein per day but rarely getting above 80, and though I've managed to get my fat grams under control I'm noticing my carbs grams are constantly high, though from looking at my meal logs those carbs are mostly from fruits. I haven't given up wine or vodka, and I don't want to. I eat very little processed foods and eat out about once every few months.
The first month I lost 5 lbs, the second I lost 7, and this final month I lost 4. What can i do to ramp up weight loss these next 3 months? Lower my calories in? ramp up calories out? bit of both?
This has been a remarkable few months once I finally put my mind to it!
