Hello all! I've recently just started getting into the weight loss journey (again) but this time more serious. Let me preface by saying that I drive truck for a living so the weight has been slowly growing on me over the years and it's difficult to maintain a healthy diet. Previously I lost anywhere between 60-80 lbs before but I don't know the exact number due to the only way I weighed myself being DOT truck scales when I jumped out of the truck. But I gained it all back in August when I had a back injury and wasn't able to move for multiple months. Now that I'm able to get around freely again I'm looking to drop the weight.
I'm 6' 4", 331 LBS (down from 348 when I started) TDEE is 3100-3200, BMR is 2400, I'm currently in a ~1000 calorie deficit, trying to stick around 2000 a day, 2500 max. I don't currently work out but my job is semi-demanding (pun intended) looking into getting into some sports here soon, pickleball or volleyball just to get some extra exercise. My main "diet plan" is focusing on high protein/fat and low carbs, I'm not actively counting anything but when I'm making or buying food I'm checking the nutrition facts and prioritizing those things. I can already tell that my stomach (ability to eat, not external physical size) has significantly shrank, I can't eat nearly as much as I used to, and food holds me over for much longer now. I've cut out all sugar drinks and sugar foods, cut out fried food when I'm able and stopped all snacking habits.
Just thought I'd ask you guys what I can expect, what I could/should improve on, any tips you might have, and any motivation helpers. So far I feel as if I'm doing good but I'm afraid either I'll plateau out, or lose motivation. One comment I heard that's sticking with me that's helping me stay away from cheat days is "I've cheated all my life, I don't get to cheat on the weekends" any input is welcomed and I'll edit this post further if anyone points out something I'm missing, thanks!
