50 lbs in 6 months
Today is 6 months since I started counting calories and also the day I hit 50lbs lost (46m). I've gone from 285 lbs to 235 lbs. It's been a heck of a ride. I've tried to stress sustainability (including still eating the foods I love like chocolate and cheese) to ensure the weight stays off and walking 10,000+ steps a day. My dog has been super helpful as a walking companion and the Loseit app has been essential to keeping track. Being on this subreddit and seeing other people doing this and succeeding has been heartening through the past half-year. My ultimate goal is around 170, but after that I'm scared of regaining the weight. Once the challenge of losing the lbs is gone, I'm concerned I'll gain it back. When I get to 170 I'm sure I'll be on this subreddit looking for suggestions! Onward and upward!
