I decided to post my story because I don’t see very many people many people my age posting here. I’m a 15F and I’ve always been quite big reaching 160lbs by age 11 (5”3) and 176 my hw by age 13 (5”6) In 2018 I lost around 20lbs in the space of 6 weeks which took me down to around 155lbs. Obviously losing weight weight that fast wasn’t a very good idea and I ended up gaining most of it back by early 2020 at 172lbs.
For the past year I’ve been living with the ‘I’ll start tomorrow mentality’. Finally around the end of January I overcame that mentality and actually started losing weight. I’m afraid I don’t really have any advice on how I overcame that mentality it’s hard no matter what. Within about a week i’d lost about 5lbs. I got down to 165 by the beginning of march but unfortunately exam stress got and put my weightloss on hold a little. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise and I learnt how to maintain. Although I did still lose a few pounds in this time.
Quite luckily exams were actually the week after school closed (they were only mocks). This let me focus on my weightloss. I definitely agree with ‘eat less move more’. I counted my calories vaguely just to make sure I wasn’t going overboard. I walked about 3 miles a day and occasionally did a workout video.
Since the beginning of quarantine I’ve lost about 20lbs and I now weigh around 140lbs (this morning I was 138lbs but it varies). I can’t believe I’ve actually got to this point I’m so unbelievably happy. It’s the first time in my life i’ve classed as a healthy weight and i’ve dropped about 2.5 dress sizes. In total from my highest weight i’ve lost about 36lbs. This subreddit has also been a massive help. It’s so reassuring hearing about other people in the same boat.
