That’s great that you did lose weight, glad you feel better even if you haven’t met your goal yet
Good job

bss03@infosec.pub 4 weeks agoYeah, I’m still obese. I almost got down to overweight, I was within 3kg, but… I’ve had/been some setbacks. By height + BMI, I should be targeting 165lbs. / 75kg, but I’m still finding it impossible to stick to a diet that provides a calorie deficit. (I have in the past, but don’t seem to now.)
My physical health is better by basically any metric. I encourage anyone that is overweight to lose it.

It can be a bit like climbing a mountain, sometimes you gotta stay at a certain height for a while to let your body acclimatise and get used to your new lifestyle.
Without a strict exercise routine it can get harder/slower the closer you get to that goal. I’d say don’t beat yourself up, make maintenance the goal for a bit while making little changes until you’re ready to push on.

Yeah, one of the setbacks is that I have to spend more time at home with my disabled family member, so I couldn’t make it to the gym as frequently.
I have gotten stuck at some “plateaus” before, and this ~100kg is one I’ve been at before. It took me nearly 3 months of discipline to break through it last time. I have to quit cheating as often, and not give up again.
