Hi. I’m a newbie. Always reading your inspirational post and looking at progress pics on here. Those post have motivated me so much that I felt like I could lose weight too.
Background. F/5’3/SW: 153lbs CW: 136lbs
I gained a lot of weight when I lost my mum years ago and became too depressed to care about life. I used to eat all kinds of food and lounge home in a depressive mood. A year ago in 2018 my highest weight was 166. Because of my height it made my BMI overweight. Also my face became puffy looking too. Then I noticed people I knew started commented how I got fat. It really did hurt my feelings.
This summer 2019 I decided to do something about it. I wasn’t depressed like I was before and became more active. I got a Fitbit and started counting CICO. I cut out sugar, pizza, candy, pasta, cheese, can’t have dairy since I’m allergic. But I believe what helped me to lose the weight we’re 2 things: CICO and exercise - Zumba.
I track everything I eat now. I started healthy eating July 21, 2019. Lots of vegetables, water, fruits, chicken, fish and nuts (nuts in moderation). The healthy eating made my skin clearer.
Regarding exercise, I hate gyms. So I decided to do an exercise that I like which is Zumba. I watch Zumba videos on YouTube and dance in my living room. 30 to 60 minutes at a time. 4 or more times a week. Recently I have increased my workout to 1.5 hours of Zumba.
Thanks to all the people who posted their stories and pictures you have all inspired me. Now the people who used to say I got fat a year ago are now saying how much weight I have lost and how good I look now.
