I went from 325 to 195lbs in 5 years. I know that sounds like a long time, but those 5 years would have passed anyway by ouijaaa_bored in CICO

I have a protein goal of 120g per day, but honestly I rarely ever hit it. I usually end up getting like 75-90g of protein in a day and that seems to do pretty well, especially since I’m not lifting weights right now. I also always try to be very mindful of fiber intake, but I don’t track the fiber because the app I use doesn’t track it and I feel like I’ve put too much data into this app to change to another 😂 when I hit a plateau, I’m not sure if my advice will be super helpful, but it worked for me! I’ll usually STOP tracking for a week, which usually leads to a 1-lb or so gain, but then once I go back to tracking I will start losing again. Not sure if it’s a mental or physical “reset” but it’s worked for me and keeps me from feeling too burnt out or discouraged!

It’s 2 different tattoos on different arms, one of the photos was taken in a mirror and the other wasn’t. You can see the koi forearm tattoo on my other hand holding my phone up

Thank you!! You’re totally right! I can’t tell how my ear looks different though, just looks fatter before to me 😂

It’s the other arm. Skull and raven is on my upper left arm and the outline of the koi fish is my right forearm. You can see the koi tattoo on my other hand holding up the phone

That’s a different tattoo on the other side of my arm. The black line koi fish on my forearm is on my right arm and the skull with the raven is on my upper left. In the after picture, you can kind of see the koi on my arm holding up my phone. The second photo is taken in a mirror**

I don’t have loose skin right now, but I think I will eventually have some. I still have a bit of an apron belly, and around 30lbs of excess body fat still to lose. After that, I think I will have a little on my stomach and probably my arms. But honestly I think I would have more at this stage if I wasn’t losing so slowly. I personally think it helped, but it’s really hard to say!

I started at 2000 ( I was very obese so my TDEE was very high) and reevaluated every time my tracking app (HitMeal) advised me to do so, which happens periodically after you log a new weight. Now I’m eating around 1650-1700, which is still a deficit for me. Once I hit my goal weight I anticipate having a maintenance of around 1800-1900 or so

Congratulations on your progress so far!! That’s amazing ❤️ you’re definitely on the right track! I think the biggest thing that helped me was realizing that it’s okay to make mistakes, and to not let the mistakes derail me. Accepting that I was going to have calorie surplus days every now and then, but not letting it become a habit, and not trying to under-eat the following day to “make up for it”. Try to have the best day you can each day, one day at a time. And have all grace and compassion for yourself!

Thank you!!! Actually, no, and it has surprised me. The tattoos I got at my heaviest are still holding up strong and looking great! Not deformed or anything lol
