I started my weight loss journey with a waist circumference of 103.5 in October last year and I’m now at 91cm and I’m so proud of myself. I’m now over half way towards my ultimate goal which is to maintain a healthy waist height ratio of less than 0.5 (I’m 170cm tall so less than 85cm)
I started this journey with no idea if I could even lose a significant amount of weight as I have a fairly severe complex disability which has left me dependent on a powerchair and unable to even sit up without support. This gives me a really low TDEE which is how I ended up gaining the weight I did: I’d been eating the same as, if not more than, the non disabled people around me despite needing significantly fewer calories.
I figured out my TDEE is probably only around 1500 kcals so to get into a deficit I’m having a small breakfast of fruit and yoghurt, a small lunch and 500-600kcal at dinner. I’ve completely cut out snacks and calorific drinks unless I really need to eat, and then I’m reaching for fruit and rice cakes rather than crisps and chocolate.
But it’s definitely working and I’m so proud of myself for completely changing how I look at food and for really putting in the effort to get healthier and lose weight.
