I need to lose 100 pounds!

in Introduce Yourself
My name is Micah and I need to lose 100 pounds. I gained over 60 pounds on a medication that the doctor said gave me metabolic syndrome. After switching the medicine to something weight-neutral, I lost 20 pounds in the first 2 weeks (from 247 to 227) without changing anything. That inspired me to dedicate myself to getting down to a healthy weight, which I have not seen since high school. I'm dieting, planning on starting to walk outside (I have a chronic disease that prevents much movement or exertion), and tracking my foods on the app. I've been doing a 1200 calorie diet for the past 4 days, and I never realized how hungry my old medicine made me! I'm eating less than half the food, but I'm more satisfied than I ever was.

Does anyone else have experience dieting and losing weight after switching to a weight-neutral medication?

I've set my goal weight at 180 to start, but once I reach that, I will aim higher. I just want to have little rewards along the way, because 100 pounds is a lot to lose and can seem so daunting.

I will take photos for comparison if I can reach goal weights.

Thanks for listening!
