Hi everyone! Just wanted to say hello and that I've been lurking the past two weeks since I started my journey. I've been through many weight loss journeys in the past that really haven't been successful or haven't been long, but I feel very confident about this one. I saw someone on here post about the Lose It! app which helped them a lot, and I've been successful in staying within my budgeted calories because of it for the past couple of weeks!
I thought I was just a little more than I really wanted to be until I stepped on the scale at the gym a couple of weeks ago and realized that I had no idea how I got to be 230 when I thought I was 205 at the most, so after a lot of crying to my partner and googling and finding this subreddit (and thinking "how could I possibly ride a horse if I get any heavier??" ... I haven't ridden a horse in 15 years), I've decided to make my weight loss journey more scientific-based, and I think that's helping me a lot. I've been a big numbers person my entire life, so thinking of it simply being a bunch of numbers has been a good mindset so far.
I'm doing a calorie deficit and weight lifting 3 days a week, and I'm walking minimum 7k steps most days, although I just got a walking pad in for when I work from home or play games on my computer, and I've absolutely fallen in love with it. I'm trying not to push myself TOO hard early on because I have a tendency to burn myself out, but as someone who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 3 years ago, I'm also telling myself that getting into these good habits now will keep me healthy for the future.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and I'm excited to be a part of this community! So far, around 7 pounds down, and I'm excited to see if I can hit my goal of 185lbs!
