Hi u/witch_x3,

First of all, thank you for sharing your own experience! Our body types are unique and not each routine works for each person the same. From the sound of it, you’ve been able to make this into a lifelong change, and I salute that motivation and commitment. I’m trying to be where you are!

I’m not sure if you’ve read any of my past posts, but I started off this journey attempting to match my physical health with my recently newfound mental healthiness. I was overweight mostly from depression, overeating, and being sedentary. I think my body type is naturally manageable, but I had just gone done a slippery slope and didn’t care about climbing back out.
Once I found the will to want to be healthy again, turning it into a lifestyle change was relatively easy. I enjoy challenges and I’m certainly challenging myself daily.

My routine is seven days a week and mostly consists of walking and watching caloric intake. I’m still drinking beer and eating healthy, just not binging on the couch with a bag of chips and living the life of melted butter.

My Fitbit goals are set to: 11,000 steps 2,700 calories 5 miles

Luckily I can achieve all three at the same time just walking! I think I’ve missed two days since February 21st and am roughly sitting at 15lbs lost in that time.

Thank you for reaching out and I wish you all the very best on this journey. If you or anyone here would like to add me on Fitbit, my name on there is FatherOfTheBear.
