I did not achieve this in the healthiest of manners, but I did it anyway I’m proud of myself. Very impressed with my discipline and willpower.
I’m a male, 6’4 feet tall, and 25 years old. 26 very soon.
At the last week so of August I was 224 lbs. Got out of a relationship at the time. I’m guilty of pigging out when I go on dates, relationships especially. Always for for the appetizers and the big plates when I go to lunch or dinner with somebody. And my ex had decent food taste so we were always eating out.
But we broke and took advantage of the fact that I was single. (Admittedly, I was even more motivated to lose weight when I was getting many matches on Tinder as I used to a couple years ago).
Well, 2 months later, I’m down to 200 Lbs. Averaging 1800 calories a day since I started. Most of the time I wasnt exercising. Just ate less. (But now I do, not to help with the diet but just to get the heat pumping and keep the body healthy. Nothing major, 20 minutes on the elliptical machine 5x a week). Again, didn’t do it in the healthiest of manners.
For one 24 lbs in 2 months apparently is extreme weight loss. Apparently 16 would’ve been considered safe. But I don’t really feel low energy or tired so I was able to push through.
Second, I still ate lots of fast food. Every day actually. Just lower calorie stuff. My lunches were always in the 1000 calories. Like
- 10 bone in wings with fries from BWW
-
Two triple cheese burgers from McD’s
-
20 nuggets and fries from CFA
-
Two bean and cheese tacos with sirloin (corn tortillas)
-
2 chicken thighs 1 leg with frijoles charros
-
huevos rancheros plate with potato and refried beans
-
double teriyaki chicken with chow mein (only ate half the mein) from panda express
Then my dinner would be in the 500-800 range and there I would often eat at home. Like
-
Tilapia filets with rice
-
chicken thighs with rice
-
scrambled eggs with any combo (bacon, wieners, chorizo)
-
homemade burgers, lean ground beef
-
chicken or turkey meatballs.
Never had any vegetables or fruits in my diet.
My goal now is to continue losing more weight. Only eating healthier stuff and expand the dishes I cook. Not just health wise but in general because really those things I listed is all I cook haha.
What would be ideal weight to push toward to?
Another cool thing, I was 199 this past weekend. But had a pretty major cheat day on Tuesday. No biggie, happens. Did good yesterday and today so far. Just wanted to say I’m sure I havent been under 200 lbs since high school.
