Life is easier at 274

dstevens1414

So here is my story I stated at 315 in July I am now at 275 and these are things that have gotten easier for me

My Clothes fit this is really nice. I know longer change as soon I come home I have more options than sweat pants

I know longer feel like the fattest guy at the gym. I have ran for 40 min at a pace of 5.1 around 4 Miles.

Running is easier I could only run for 1 min when I started now 40

I don't feel guilty about being fat I am doing something about it so this has helped my confidence

I am not as hungry all the time even though I am eating less. This may seem weird but I eat half of what I use to but feel full for longer. Protein is the key.

I don't feel bad if I make bad eating choices (popcorn). I now know that eating health will be a part of my life forever so if I make 90% good choices 10% bad is not the end of the world.

I am not as tired I use to nap ever day now I don't nap and I am rarely tired though out the day. Stopping snoring has been HUGE.

My question is this if I feel this good at 275 pounds how great am I going to feel at 240 or 200. This is one of many things that keep me Motivated.

Talk to you at 240

Hey it sounds like you're doing great, and congrats on all of those rewards for your hard work!!

I'm curious because I've seen other people post the same thing - what's so bad about popcorn?

Great job. The first 10% does make a huge difference in my experience. It gets better as you go down. Sometimes the scales stop going down in my case but the inches keep going down here there and yonder.

I could have written the same post myself (except he can run longer than I can! I'm working on it.)! Great job and great feeling!

Nice story. My husband is currently 338. He used to be 200 long time ago. How many calories do you eat per day and what is your weekly goal? Im asking because my husband has set his goal at 2 pounds per week right now and it allows him to eat 2050 calories a day without excersise. It works good for him so far.


Thanks

I set my goal as 2 pounds a week this allowed me 1950 after weight loss the number gets adjusted it is now 1770. I have only ran 40 min once but it felt great.

I started at 275 in January, and am at 205+/- now.
It feels amazing.
I have so much more energy, and I'm starting to enjoy how I look.
