100 Lbs down.

https://imgur.com/gallery/1qgA9df

This is my first post but I’ve been enjoying everyone’s else’s posts and thought I’d join in.

I’ve been at it for over a year now, started in February last year. Just hit 100lbs lost. Still have more to lose but feel 100% better.

I have been losing weight by calorie counting. I try to have around 1500 a day but will sometimes go over, I average about 2lb a week of weight loss. I track the calories using My Fitness Pal.

Aiming to be happy with my weight by the end of this year, I don’t really have a specific goal weight apart from it being healthy.

I’ve lost 25 pounds in 3 months, I want to lose 20 more pounds. Motivation to continue is weak. I need help for extra motivation

So I’m not severely overweight and I never was. However, I was remarkably large to the point of being almost obese. I started to take care of my weight and my health and I’ve lost a lot of weight. I’m in the healthy range and everyone around me has told me that I’ve lost a lot of weight (it’s nothing compared to others) however, now that I’m “ok weight” it’s not the same motivation. Before it was to be healthy, now the motivation is for a beach body. I’m losing motivation for the last extra steps because my body isn’t ugly anymore, it’s just ok. Day to day I’m slipping on my calorie counting and having 200-300 extra calories of fruits. And that makes my deficit almost 200-300 which is very slow weight loss. Also, my friends and family are constantly telling me “Why are you still dieting? You don’t have to anymore” and therefore reducing my will to acquire that beach body. Any help on getting the motivation for the final steps? Please, I’m afraid I’ll give in and stop dieting.

Anyone else being told weird stories about why you shouldn’t lose weight?

A few years ago I was told a story at church about a woman who wanted to lose weight. Her main reason was that so when she got pregnant, her pregnancy would be a healthier one.

But, as the story goes, she ended up liking being skinnier and decided not to have a baby. That apparently ended her marriage.They told the story as if it was some sort of cautionary tale about not being too vein to have kids.

I thought it was weird at the time and I think it is even weirder now that they were telling us girls to not be too concerned with our health or it may cause us to not want children. Also it was an older gentleman that told that story to me and the other teenage girls.

Weight loss is a huge change in someone’s life, but it doesn’t mean that it is going to completely change you as a person. Has anyone else heard crazy things like this?

No one noticed my weight loss but they sure noticed when I gained weight.

This post probably doesn't fit in here - but I just wanted to share my experience about when I gained weight. I'm 5'11 and was a dancer from childhood to my late teens - my bmi was probably 18? I was also a runner. When I hit my 20s, I stopped dancing but kept on running. After starting work full-time I experienced a weight creep. I moved up from 103 pounds to 114 pounds. I was still in the healthy range, but the comments started coming in. "Hey your thighs are really big" from insensitive male ex-classmates, to "wow you've really gained weight" or "you look bigger" from old friends. From family, the comments were much worse. One relative even took a photo of me in an unflattering side view, PRINTED THEM OUT and gave it to me so I would "wake up as to how fat I had become" (her words, not mine).

​

Now after trying out several exercise regimes and diets (it doesn't help that I have weak knees), CICO and a weights-resistance gym routine is what works for me. I've lost close to 9 pounds in a few months, and my clothes fit better. But strangely enough, no one noticed. They genuinely didn't, and it irked me. I lost weight for myself and for my health, and I'm a lot more confident in my dressing now but seriously?

I’m actually trying {UPDATE}

So there were a few people from my previous post that wanted a 6 month update on my progress.

I hit a rough patch and have been doing poorly for a long time. But there’s a reason I didn’t set a hard time constraint. Knowing me, I would’ve given up saying something along the lines of “time is almost up and I’m not at my goal so what’s the point.”

All that said I’m down 20.4 lbs from my starting weight. It’s still weight loss so I’ll take it but I thought I’d be further along by now. I had no set date in mind but I still would’ve liked to have made more progress.

Oh well. I’ve always had trouble getting projects done on time but they always get done eventually.
