I have been on this weight loss journey now since the end of June 2018 and today I looked back at where I was and where I am now. I like to set goals for myself for the year and I think you have to see where you have come from to get to where you are ultimately going. In the beginning I set the goal of 4lbs per month or 1 lb per week. In the end, I averaged 8.8 pounds per month. I have 5 months left of the 12 months since I started loosing weight. For the coming 5 months, My goal is to loose 6 pounds per month or 30 pounds. That will make a total of 95 pounds. Seems so unreal. Then on to my final goal.
In September I took a few measurements and today I added them up. 25.5 inches lost. So amazing to me. I have gone from a size 22/24, 3X to 16/18 and L/X. This is what keeps me motivated and excited to get up every day to see what is in store for me.
I finally have ended treatments and had my pic line removed. So happy about that. I have started to exercise more and I am using some light weights. Hoping to join the gym as soon as spring arrives and I am in better shape to exercise harder and longer. For now it is baby steps.
In my journey, I have stopped relying so much on the scale and more so on how I feel and look. That is a big win for me. Before, it would have driven me crazy if the scale didn't move but now, I am just meh who cares.
I love that I have found LC/HF and intermittent fasting for my way of life now. I do not feel deprived and if I really want something I will have it but more often then not, I don't want to break the fast or gain the water weight from carbs. If I go out to eat, I will typically have chicken and salad. there are so many yummy salads out there! I can't tell you it has been super easy but I can say it has been so worth it. My only regret is that I didn't find out about my new WOE years ago. I am happy that I found this community of support it helps to know that you are all there. Thank you FS'ers :-)
