I’ve struggled massively with my weight since Covid hit. Prior to the lockdowns I was working out 5 days a week and kept my weight off for 8 years. Maintained 135lbs that whole time. But then when Covid hit I continued to gain weight. I also went back to school at age 30 and had fluctuations in losing and gaining.
I weighed myself on NYE and was absolutely heartbroken at what I saw. I currently sit at 177lbs and have only 2 pairs of jeans that I fit in.
At the start of 2025 I was committed to getting back into shape and gained quite a bit of muscle. My mistake was not counting calories. I assumed I was eating enough to lose weight - and so I went from 165 to 177 in about 3 months from October to December.
Joining this group and reading all of your experiences have really woken me up to the fact that you HAVE to count calories. Since the 1st I have been and I’ve been so shocked seeing how much food is in 1500 calories and that I really have been overeating for years! (I joke though and say I’ve just been in bulking season for the last year haha).
If any of you are feeling down like me, start counting your calories. Especially if you’re already active. I look forward to checking in with myself 6 months from now and I finally believe that I can achieve my goal of 135-140 again because I’m 100% dialled in.
If any of you have tips that helped with your weight loss I’d love to hear them.
Wishing all of you an awesome 2026 and don’t get discouraged !!
