I just wanted to share my journey so far. 38/M
Finally decided to be proactive in weight loss September of 2023. Started at 287#, didn't do much more exercise but just ate in a deficit. Took a few months but I dropped 40#, then tapered off my diet. Slowly lost another 10#. For over a year and a half I've just been fluctuating up and down a few pounds, still tracking calories but not actually eating in a deficit.
I've been feeling like absolute shit about still being fat, and nowhere near my goal weight or body comp. Started hitting the gym 2 days a week with a friend a bit over a month ago. Jumping back into a deficit leaves me wanting junk food like crazy. (Not denying myself junk food, as long as it's within my caloric intake for the day, this set of meal prep was just higher calories than I initially expected, so no junk for 4 days.) Friday, in the middle of a conversation, I was given a compliment, that I look like a completely different person than I did a few years ago. Honestly that has stuck with me so much, it's been playing in my head since. I don't feel or see a difference in myself at all. (Not the first compliment I've received, just the first from someone who isnt a close friend or family, but those dont hold much weight as they come from people who've said it looks like I lost weight while I was at my heaviest.)
That's it.
