Hi everyone. When I first moved to the U.S in 2018, I probably weighed nothing. I was so slim and skinny cause back home I wasn't eating that much junk food, etc. I came here for college and using the newly found freedom from my parents I had, I started consuming huge chunks of junk food.
I mean I would literally buy a bucket of ice cream from the neighborhood warehouse market every week and eat everything. In addition to this, I would eat my favorite frosted flakes cereal which was a calorie bomb. In summary, I was making very unhealthy choices and eating without regard to my health. Over the course of college, my weight climbed to a staggering 280 lbs. After college, I lost some weight while I was actively searching for jobs. I think a lot of that was due to stress more than anything intentional.
Last month, I had enough. After previous attempts to lose weight failed, and just constantly not being happy with what I was seeing in the mirror I decided its time to take aggressive steps to lower my weight. I started on February 16 at 300 lbs. For context, I’m a 6'2" male. Since then, I’ve been aggressively tracking my calories and weighing myself using a Bluetooth scale that automatically syncs with my phone. It’s helped me stay consistent and accountable.
I’ve also been exercising regularly. I go to my apartment gym and do exercises like bicep curls, hammer curls, and bench presses. I also set a daily goal of 10,000 steps, which I’ve been consistently hitting. I also take 1 scoop of protein powder and creatine after each workout.
I'm not going to give up. I'm in my fourth week and it doesn't feel like my weight loss has kinda slowed.
