Almost at short term goal.
I never really cared about my weight, but I told myself if I ever reached 200 lbs I would HAVE to go on some sort of diet. Well, last June I realized I weighed 203 lbs. So I decided to change. I wanted to have a body I thought looked good. I set a long term goal of 145 because that's the average healthy weight for my type, and a short term goal of 170 just to give me something closer to work towards.
It took a while for me to find the right diet (I first tried fasting. That did not work at all for me haha) But I eventually learned to start counting my calories and get a good, sustainable, workout routine going. The process feels so slow but I know I'm on the right track, and im proud of having lost 30 lbs now. I'm at 172 lbs now. Its amazing to think I'm over halfway to my goal weight, and its even better to see the change this diet is having in other ways. I'm learning to listen to my body, to eat when I'm hungry and stop when im not.
Looking at this sub is so motivational, and ill be sure to ask for advice if I hit a rough patch again. Thanks!
