jump to the last paragraph if you don’t feel like reading, but I do feel like everything is imported for the context
I 22M(264LBS) 5”6 started my weight loss journey April 1st of 2025. I would confidently say i started off very strict, but to be honest I felt comfortable and knew it was something I could stay on. I stuck to a 600 calorie a day budget and was burning around 3500-4500 cal just by exercise(jump roping for 3-9 hours) and ~7k total each day. I would stick to the calorie intake with a chicken bowl from chipotle and a large Diet Coke.
The first month I lost 26 pounds, and second month(were I gave up) I lost 18 pounds. While I didn’t quite because I couldn’t do it anymore, I felt defeated because in my head I was aiming for a 35-40 pound-=120 in 3 months. I understand what this is, which is why I put it in the title but at the end of the day I just want the body I can actually look at In the mirror without feeling resentment.
I can actually pinpoint the exact date that I gave up, as the week leaving up to it I was actually intentionally burning more calories to compensate for the occasion. I was going on a 3 day vacation with family and didn’t want them to know I was dieting, but despite not having cravings or urges, I for whatever reason indulged in foods I didn’t even want.
By the time I got back I started keeping track of calories I would tell myself I would burn the next day, only to not meet the goal: or not any and eventually I had a debt of 200k calories I wouldn’t ever burn.
Now it’s almost 6 months and I feel like I don’t have the same energy even though I still have the same goal.
One thing that I have kept is I(for the most part) don’t drink any calories anymore, I gave up sodas all together for almost 2 months, and only went back for reasons I still don’t know, as again I had no cravings. But now I still drink diet and zero coke, water, and venti sunsera blonde roast(28cal). This past week I started drinking high calories blended lates from a local coffee shop and am trying to get off of that as it is a craving at the moment.
*with all that said, what are supplements or small things that will boost calories burned or lower whatever is needed to boost the process. with my new job I won’t be able to incorporate exercise into my diet but am relying on just the calories burned from daily tasks(~1500).
