Been awhile 216 pounds, Ready to start going lower, again.
Did I mention this is a lifelong battle?
Had a great past few months. Starting with Thanksgiving, Christmas, a Florida vacation and living life. Wife had a back surgery and I was off work on FMLA for several weeks. I'm 216 pounds. I've been maintaining at around 220's. I was up to 230 for a very short while (water gain) after the vacation week.
I've been on 2mad for awhile. Eating my primary meal at noon and something when I get home around 10:30pm. I'm trying to keep my 2nd eating time just a snack or nothing but OMAD is a bit of a struggle and I'm all about doing things I can do to keep my weight off. Maintenance is just as important as losing weight. But now I'm ready for another push.
To get from maintenance to under 200. 196 is my next goal. That will be 100 pounds since January of 2018. I'm in an xl shirt and a 40 waisted pant. My fat % is 31.5. Still considered OBESE till I am 29.9%. I'm excited that even in the last few months I'VE MAINTAINED!!
So many people ask how I did it, and I try and be as generic as possible. I've gotten it down to a few key points.
1. Whatever you do, be able to do it for life. I hate diets, diets don't work. Diets have a beginning
and and an end.
2. Do what works for you making small changes. Keep it simple.
3. Weigh yourself, but weekly. The scale isn't as important as we make it. If you are working YOUR program well then the scale should fallow. (I like doing fat % monthly and I put my weekly weight on my wall calander and in an app on my phone, but I don't worry about it.)
4. Life long goals means weekly or monthly results aren't as important as many months.
I have people coming up saying " I've just lost 6, 25, 50 pounds in a week, few months."
I say "great, keep it up!" Secretly I realize I've crashed weight off before, but I want to be able to brag about KEEPING the weight off.
Most days I don't ever feel hungry. Find what works for you and just do it.!
