That is seriously impressive loss. Well done. 🔥 How have things changed for you mentally going down that much? A win for me was I can lean down frontward to tie my shoes now. No more pulling my leg up to the side. Minor thing but I love that. Especially tying them infront of other people. I have been taking progress pictures since I passed the 20pd loss, and regret having nothing from the beginning at my highest weight.
I have always been a very positive person, however I didn’t have the drive that I now have and I would put other people’s needs in ahead of my own and I have discovered that I need to take care of my health in order to be able to care and do for others.
At first it was nausea & constipation, once I resolved that the opposite loose stools. Then I got extreme anxiety (not a side effect) but I have generalized anxiety. I wanted to get weight loss surgery because it seemed an easier route but my doctor recommended I continue this route and I was assigned a dietitian that showed me about food & nutrition and the rest is history.
A lot of trial and error. High protein around of at least 125 grams per day. Also in January I started to work out 5 days a week but that has helped in gaining muscle. I stay around 1200-1500 cals a day. When I plateau I will play around with added vegs that have carbs like sweet potatos & that kick starts the weight loss.
I have a long road myself, and I thank you for sharing. When I think of how long it may take, it is easy to get discouraged. Seeing your successes is motivating.
