4 months of progress. NSFW. F/19/5’8

I had no one to share this with. So here it is. I started in January and I plan to lose 40 more pounds

I count calories. That’s all I do. I didn’t realize how badly I ate until I started counting calories. I really didn’t want to give up ice-cream and noodles and rice, so now I just eat less. I still eat what I want, but I just count every calorie. Last night I had for dinner chick fil a chicken nuggets (8) 270 calories, with lentil soup 135 cal, and ice cream 150 cal. For lunch I had, Mac n cheese 280 cal, and for breakfast I had an egg with coffee 100 cal and for a snack I had pineapple 100 cal, totaling 1035 cal

I am going to start working out soon too!

I highly recommend getting a calorie counting app. It has become my best friend. I unfortunately think about food 24/7. I am constantly thinking about my next meal, I have always been like this. The calorie counting allows me to take my time planning my meals and getting excited for what I’m about to eat.

I couldn’t bare the thought of giving up the foods I love and I shouldn’t have too as long as I eat them in moderation.

Starting this week I will be running a mile everyday. Hopefully this will help with the toning part of weight loss. Any tips or questions?

I successfully went running for the first time in my life

I still can't really believe it, but I've done it: I went running. Don't know how far and I didn't look at any clock so I don't know how long I was out either, but I successfully mastered eight bouts of running, intersperced with brisk walking. Yep, this is what it looks like when you're starting from the bottom. My boyfriend helped me along, because I would have felt much too awkward alone on my first time. He had to do an extra round afterwards, because my beginner-ass training ain't gonna do anything for him. I had tried to go running once before, but that was years ago and I absolutely hated it.

To everyone who called me a spoiled brat for wanting cute workout clothes: Screw you, cute workout clothes are what transformed running from so terrible I avoided it for years to: "Sure, let's do this again on Thursday." I had never even considered ever going running again until I saw myself in my new cute leggings.

This probably won't affect my weight loss, because workouts do increase my appetite and a maximum of 500 kcal burnt (not today, but maybe in the future) every other day won't really make that much of a difference.

An honorary mention here also to Geralt, whose jogging across the landscape, picking flowers, probably cemented the idea of going running in my mind after it emerged. I indeed felt a desire to pick the blowballs alongside the path. Luckily there weren't any drowners by the river, I hadn't packed my sword.

1 year of progress! 5'10" M 102kg ---> 70kg [NSFW]

Hi r/loseit !

I've never made many posts on here about my weight loss here or in many other places, but I thought my journey so far could serve as some motivation to keep all you guys on track!

If you're just here for progress pic - here you go: http://imgur.com/a/2IONopP

What are my tips?

For me, going to see a doctor about my weight was enough of a kick to really get me started. It made it real in my mind that staying how I was would start to really impact my ability to do the things I love to do, And bullying was a pretty big issue for me at the time so that added to my motivation. A doctor probably won't tell you anything you don't already know, but they might give you the kick you need.

Something I'm still struggling with - stopping myself from obsessing over small details, especially while doing CICO. As soon as my calorie budget goes into the red it's like I have a mini panic attack! Even if it's only by 50 or so calories. As long as you're in a calorie deficit on average, there's no reason why you can't lose it!

While maybe not possible for many people because of how expensive protein sources can be, I found cutting out most of the carbs I ate for a while really helped - white bread, crisps etc were my main vices.

What am I doing now?

To keep myself interested, I'm going to start lifting heavier - with stronglifts 5x5, to try and get some of my strength back. I'm planning to lean bulk for the foreseeable future.

Sorry if this is all stuff you've heard before, I just thought I could help some people out with what I've been doing for the past year. :)

On the Home Stretch

I'm on the home stretch now and only need to lose 2-3kg to officially get to my UGW. I'm so close, I can smell it. I'm 50% excited AF to finally achieve something I never have and then 50% freaking out because of the fact that it's something I've never achieved in the past, even though I've come close several times. Weight loss is so slow at this point, I can't deny being tempted to fast for a few days to just see that number on the scales but I know it's a dangerous game and it will definitely cause me to binge once it's done. I just need a little nudge, whether it's motivation from the community to persevere or it's something to help spark my metabolism somehow to get things moving faster than half a kg per month! Many thanks as always for your amazing stories and love. It's really helped me these past 13 months.

(NSV) Online shopping validated my progress!

In the past year I gained so much weight due to overeating and bingeing due to depression and with this came a certain amount of effort lost in the way I dressed myself. I love fashion and felt I was too big to wear what I wanted with confidence and pride. Like so many other here, I spent so long in oversized jumpers and tops so I could "hide" what had happened to my body. The downside to this is that now that I've begun to lose weight through IF and OMAD, the already oversized clothing is practically hanging off my body. We're going into winter in Australia (my favourite season for fashion) so I took it upon myself to begin shopping for clothes that I actually WANTED to wear, which is where my NSV for the day comes in.

One of my most used online shopping sites has an option to enter your details so it can make predictions of what size clothing you should order. I realised I hadn't changed my stats since starting my weight loss so was over the moon to see this pop up under every clothing item I looked at!

A few months ago they were suggesting size 18 (Australian), so I'm pretty over the moon. Not having to wear in size 18/20 sized clothing in a size 14 body is going to be quite the experience!
