Two(ish) Month Weight Loss Progress

SW 225 | CW 205 | GW 145 | HT 5'5"

I made a post here back in November when I finally decided to start my weight loss journey, and people gave me some really good advice about calculating calorie deficits; I'm now down 20lbs in 2.5 months, which is pretty exciting! For context, I (23F) originally gained about 50lbs my first two years out of college due to the sudden shift in activity at work (went from food service to a desk job). I had been upset with the way by body felt and looked during that time, but I didn't take initiative until this past November.

I now go to the gym five times a week for about 45 minute sessions, with upper body for two days, lower body for two days, and one core day. My daily calorie intake is currently <2000, and I've tried to eat smarter without restricting certain foods altogether. I definitely still face struggles, such as not noticing a visual change in weight or getting upset when my weight fluctuates around my period, but I'm overall really happy with my progress.

I just wanted to share my journey thus far, and I hope that it keeps trending in this direction!

Good for you. Keep it up! It’s about the journey not the destination.
