So I haven't actually done a big post like this yet. If I mess something up, let me know.
Stats- SW: 216.5 lbs Height: 5'3" CW: 176 lbs GW: 125 lbs
I started seriously trying to lose weight at the beginning of November 2015. There were several things that drove me to it at last. One was my kid telling me I looked like I was going to have a baby, but I wasn't. One was that my knees were absolutely killing me. And one was feeling so awful about how I looked that I'd kind of given up on doing anything nice for myself (no new clothes, makeup was a thing of the past, doing anything with my hair besides a ponytail was out of the question, lost interest in hobbies... the whole 9 yards). I recognized that I had let myself get to a point where I didn't value me anymore. So I decided to change it. I had already downloaded the loseit! app months before, but I had been breastfeeding at the time, and my supply was so precarious that I hadn't really tried to lose any weight. But baby was weened now, and it was ON!
All I've really done is portion control and a few creative food substitutions thrown in the mix (some of which failed spectacularly). I measure (either with cups, and spoons or my tiny food scale) everything I eat. I log it. I have only guestimated 2 days of logging since I started. Thanksgiving day (which I just logged at about 3K calories and called it a day) and my 30th birthday (that one had some seriously sketchy guesswork about the numbers).
I've started the C25K app, but the knee problems haven't completely gone away. I have bad days where I can't go running, but isn't it crazy that I even consider that a bad day now?!
Basically, I just wanted to share and to thank everyone in this sub for the support and constant motivation to keep going and become a better, healthier me! Keep at it, you wonderful losers!!
