[265 to 155 in 1.5 years](https://imgur.com/a/vNnsxuO)
Started off at 265lbs, obese for a 5 ft 8in male. Went to a party eve of new year 2019, Got "ewwed" by someone who I did not even try to dance with. It affected me mentally so much and rewired my mindset to start a healthier lifestyle. Did intermittent fasting, swimming, and workout. One and a half years later, now at 155 lbs and 14.8% body fat. This community helped me a lot and seeing you guys loseit kept me motivated throughout my one and a half years. Still, a way to go but feeling so confident in everything I do; It was contagious to all other aspects of my life.
Some tips that I thought I'd share:
- Be kind to yourself. Don't beat yourself up for having those cheat days, or missed workouts. Just be mindful and balance it out with other days when you're more motivated.
- Mindset is everything. Think about the transformation you are going through. It's one of the most positive desicions you've made, and you're slaying it.
- Check weights often (once a day for me), so you can better know what works and what doesn't. Everyone is different. But don't fret if it doesn't change for a while, especially when you're Strength training. Just look at the trend.
- Find your support group. For me, this subreddit was/is that group. Keeping yourself motivated throughout your journey is crucial
- It always gets easier.
