Officially 50 lbs down!

Hey ya'll!

I have been very private about my weight loss journey but I promised myself that once I lost 50 lbs I would celebrate myself by making a post in this discussion forum! 5 and a half months later, here I am! I began my journey at 230 lbs and as of my weigh in last week I am at 180. I know that seems like a lot of weight for some but it is a victory to me! I am 25 years old and 5'3 in case you're curious. Please feel free to share your success pics, I have found so much inspiration in all of your stories!48ezupfp9gds.jpg

    Hi @trixieberry17! Thanks! I actually took a unique approach with this journey, each month I tried a different "diet technique" just to keep things interesting

    @trixieberry17, it cut off my whole response but here's what I did:

    January: clean eating, sugar detox
    February: keto, lowcarb
    March: intermittent fasting
    April: weighing food
    May: no meat, plant based

    I also did four 30 minute workouts per week from March to now.
