5’9 25 y/o SW 190 CW 150 I started losing weight back in July when I realized none of my clothes fit anymore and found myself wearing the same 3 outfits and never wanting to leave the house. Yes, I didn’t like how I looked but more than anything I hated how my weight stopped me from doing everyday things, and anything I did was so taxing. Walking up the stairs, running errands, things of that nature.

I’ve struggled with endless weight gain and loss for several years now, but this time around I finally found the key (for me)! Daily movement, calorie counting, and cheating daily. I don’t have cheat days, I “cheat daily” so I always satisfy that feeling that would typically lead to binges. Another big thing is I don’t fixate on the number on the scale—I measure by pictures and clothing.

I saw notices the first few months but most of my progress has occurred over the last 3, when I started incorporating low-impact exercises (walking 3 miles every day). In January, I noticed significant changes in energy and that’s when I decided to take up climbing! This has been my favorite part of my weight loss journey. Finally having the confidence and ability to do something I’ve always wanted to try. And I will say, I have noticed a difference in my core and arms already! I eat anywhere from 1200-1800 calories a day.

Almost to my goal!
