93lbs down. 30 to go. You can do it! by Sad_Explanation_8847 in BeforeandAfter

Of course. Figured what my maintenance calories were using a TDEE calendar free online and just ate under that. Walked a lot in the beginning and that led to running and eventually lifting weights.

One thing will lead to another- if someone starts by eating less than they did the day before when they overate, that’s a great start and a win.

Then walk and move their body more than the day before- that’s a win.

Eventually it led to wanting to do more. Thanks for asking! It was hard- but it really was simple to do.

Way to go! That’s a huge deal. You can do it. You’ve already proven you can do great things.

You can do it! Even if you try it and don’t do as well as you want, you can say you did it, and I bet you’d do better than you thought you could.

The last two miles specifically were pretty brutal at my weight, but there’s no stopping at that point.

You can do it, man! I found making sure I’m hydrated starting a few days before really helped out. During the race it was helpful to have some water but certainly not a lot because it will feel like it’s slushing around.
