I’ve lost a significant amount of weight twice. I went from 230 lbs to 180 lbs on two occasions over the past 2-3 years. The world felt different; people were nicer, and I noticed more interest from women (Coming from a person who was originally 300 lbs, this was a dream come true lol) My confidence and self-esteem improved, even though I still had some stomach fat.
Currently, I’m at 190 lbs and aiming to reach 170 or 165 lbs, I want to get rid of all my stomach fat. I used to work out a lot, but now I mainly focus on dieting and walking more, like walking to work. This approach has helped me lose weight, but I should probably get back to the gym before summer starts up again.
I’ll be 21 next year, and I’m excited. I was stuck at 230 lbs for over a year, which honestly sucked, I really missed feeling good about myself. I plan to reach my goal of 165 lbs in the next 3-4 months. I’ve never been this weight before, and it’s going to feel so surreal to have a flat stomach. Anyway, I would love to hear your stories!
I did a similar thing. Down from about 104kg to 74kg (30kg loss) (180cm tall and 30 years of age). Didn’t do any changes at all except drastically lower my food consumption in steps and totally stopped with sugar (soft drinks, candy, crisps and so on). In the beginning I lost about 1kg/week but of course that slows down.
It’s awesome not being winded after going up the stairs or having acid reflux.
