[NSV] I think I have aged backwards in 10 years!

Hi friends! It's been ages since I last posted here, and I wanted to do an update. I used to come around here a bit, but then I had a baby and life got in the way.

In 2014, I was able to finally reach a 103 lb weight loss over the course of 3 years. I was so happy! Then, my husband and I had a baby in 2015 and I gained 50 lbs of baby weight. I've been on a slow road downward since then, but now I'm ready to get back to business and get back down to my 2014 weight of 147 lbs. Right now, I'm sitting around 170, but I have noticed such a huge difference in my face alone. I'm doing so much better in maintaining my mental health, my skin routine, and trying to keep healthy and happy. I feel like a lot of these things have helped me look so much younger than I did when I was bigger and depressed.

I had been struggling the last couple of years with shedding the baby weight, but hoping that posting will help keep me a lot more accountable now. Publicizing my journey before helped tremendously, so I hope that by going down this path again, that I will continue to have the strength to keep going and keep losing until I feel healthier and more in tune with how my body feels.

My weight loss journey so far

Hey everyone, I've been following this subreddit for around 5 months not really active in the comments but I love reading other people stories.

So I've been on this current journey for just over 9 months, it's not my first time trying to lose weight but this is the longest by a long distance.

I started at 140kg currently down to 107 which is the lowest I've been in around 3 years. I don't really remember ever weighing my self between 100kg and 140kg it just seem to happen out of nowhere. I've been doing this slowly and I have had loads of ups and downs.

My macros currently are p:175 f:75 c:194 total calories:2150

Any questions will be answered bellow thanks guys

Scared I will lose everything while losing weight.

I have had the same friend group for years. We are very close. We're work colleagues, best friends and spend a lot of time together, individually and together. Here is my problem. They're all big partiers. It's all we do together. One drink turns into many and then results in bad food choices and many missed workouts due to being out with them and/or being too tired and hungover the next day to workout or make good food choices.

This is severely affecting my weight loss. I am paying for a personal trainer and weight watchers and not making any progress because of this. I have made suggestions to friends previously that we find non drinking activities. This never works. I am concerned that if I choose to limit my drinking, I will lose all my friends. I don't have any other way of meeting people other than work. My partner and I have 5 kids between us so when they are with us, I want to be home with them.

My husband is a big drinker. This is how we met and this is what we do together.

I need to make a change but don't want my life to fall apart doing this. How do I make this work?

Do you have 2019 Pounds Goal Or Work Out Goal?

I was talking through with my life coach (so worth it!) about prioritizing weight loss this upcoming year. I sort of "accidentally" lost 15 lbs once i got on ADHD meds that finally treated the excessive need for dopamine hits and drinking more water for a month and a half. Now I'm really into losing 15 more pounds, which would bring me to my lowest weight ever. But I also know if I don't make a hard number, I will feel like garbage. So I also added a complimentary goal of 100 work outs in 2019. One thing we talked about was making it smaller in time chunks, so losing 3-4 pounds by March 15th, or 50 work outs by June 15th. I'm really excited about it since this isn't too much for me to expect but will have a marked improvement on my life. We talked a lot about working on the microhabits to really push this forward like planning work outs that are consistent, drinking more water, biking more to work, working on picking up another dog walking gig.

So I was wondering when thinking about the new year, are you 1.) making any hard goals 2.) is it pounds 3.) is it something else? How did you get there in your plan? What are somethings you're still stuck on?

Weight Loss on Antidepressants

I started antidepressants several years ago, and since then I've had my anxiety and depression go into remission, which is a blessing. I really don't want to quit taking them. However, because it's an SSRI, it's messing with my appetite. I almost always feel hungry, and it's incredibly hard to ignore.

I've heard of people eating simple carbs at certain intervals during the day to give a boost in serotonin so they aren't as hungry, but I'm hypoglycemic so eating simple carbs on an empty stomach isn't the best thing for me. Anyone have any advice on how to suppress my appetite healthily while on an SSRI?

Face gains!

Happy Friday, everyone!

I've been feeling kinda meh about my weight loss lately. I'm still losing, but with the food surrounding the holidays, it's been at a slower pace. And really, losing anything at all or even maintaining during the holidays is something I should’ve considered to be a victory. But I almost lost sight of all that I've accomplished so far. Thankfully, though, I got the pick-me-up I needed this morning.

I'm down 43 pounds since I started my journey in mid-May. I was just scrolling through some pics earlier and came across a selfie I took some time in April and holy crap. I never realized how round and bloated my face looked before! It’s so comical, I don't know whether I should laugh or feel proud, or both! Either way, I wanted to share because I feel like this NSV is a pretty big one. The face gainz are real.

Here's the selfie from April next to one I just took a couple weeks ago.

Weight Loss and Dreams

I am 5'4" female and have lost 70 pounds so far (235-165) with 30-35 left to go though alternate day fasting.

I started on April 2018.

I have noticed that my dreams have become much more vivid and memorable. Is this a result of the weigh loss or are they unrelated?

I also has a TIA http://strokeassociation.org/STROKEORG/AboutStroke/TypesofStroke/TIA/Transient-Ischemic-Attack-TIA_UCM_492003_SubHomePage.jsp# last week: tremors, headache, small loss of short term memory. All went away after a few days. Is this related to the weight loss?
