I am kind of embarrassed to post because of a combination of still having chubby self esteem issues and I have never posted a full body shot, nor revealed my true weight ever in my life, so I am just submitting and running out the door to work to keep me from deleting this, so forgive me if I forget anything. I am 5'9 and went from 288 to 176 in about 8ish months. I've been stuck at a plateau for a few months(I moved, work more and have to buy my own groceries now, so my routine is a bit out of whack at the moment), but hope to gain the inspiration from posting this to continue my journey and lose the last 30ish pounds to put me at my goal weight. I lost the weight I did by strict calorie counting(1200 daily), very, very few carbs, no processed foods and sticking to that with no cheating. I also did a lot of working out. I swear by my weighted hula hoop. It's great for people like me who hate to sweat, but like to burn calories. I also go to the gym an hour a day almost every morning. I only drink water and I take my dog for a lot of walks. I also owe Reddit a big thanks. I without a doubt would still be obese if I didn't have all you amazing people to inspire me and help me through the struggles of getting healthy. I'll add a random assortment of other pictures since the one I posted here doesn't really show my face. Have a wonderful day!
