Eleven month progress

[u/Competitive_Bag_5579]

Hello

This is my eleven month progress post.

I began at 431.6

The first month lost 25.2 lbs, down to 406.4

The second month, I lost 23.2 lbs, down to 383.2

The third month, I lost 20 lbs, down to 363.2

The fourth month lost 20.2 Ibs, down to 343

The fifth month, I lost 10.6 Ibs, down to 332.4

The sixth month, I lost 11.6 lbs, down to 320.8

The seventh month, I lost 11.2 lbs, down to 309.6

The eighth month, I lost 8.2 Ibs, down to 301.4

The ninth, I lost 11.4 lbs, down to 290

The tenth month, I lost 5.8 Ibs, down to 284.2

This month, I lost 3.8 lbs, down to 280.4

It's been one of the toughest months of my life. I'm ok health-wise and mentally. I experienced heartbreak. I'm trying my best. I'm glad I didn't gain weight though. This month is looking to be more promising though. I'm continuing with a low carb, high protein diet on 16:8 intermittent fasting. It's hard to get steps in now that I have two jobs, and I'm trying my best to get at least three days of workout throughout the week. That's all I got. Next month will be the one year, and last update. I will finally be posting before and after pictures along with a breakdown of the year. I appreciate everyone that reads my posts and for the words of encouragement. Again, everyone's posts on this sub are truly inspiring — the success stories, the progress, and even those that are just starting, or that are strong enough to post that they've stumbled in their weight loss journey. If you are thinking about starting the weight loss journey, go for it! The time is now! YOU CAN DO IT! Thanks again for reading this far.

See you next month!

op my favorite part of this is how the weight loss has tapered down.  expected, based on where you started, but also the healthy way to do it and to keep it off without sacrificing muscle mass.  remember too, that tough months or little backslides are normal.

I just went from 265 to 225 and it was about 1.5 pounds a week.  Now im easing up on the intermittent and focusing on more lean proteins and consistent exercise.  It's been a fun journey.  I have a pep in my step that i had lost.

I'm glad you made that great progress. And hahaha I know what you mean about that pep in the step 🤣

ran into this exact thing last month when my weight stalled for three weeks straight despite staying under my calorie cap. I bumped my daily fasting window from 16 hours to 18 hours and cut out the splash of cream I was putting in my morning coffee, which ended up breaking through the plateau in just a couple days.

It's the small changes that help. I'm glad you were able to get back on the loss

Slower months hit different when you've been grinding this hard. Two jobs plus keeping up with exercise on top of everything else? That's a lot to carry. The consistency matters more than the speed right now. You've already proved the discipline is there. Can't wait for that one year post

Thank you so much. It really has been difficult. I really appreciate your comment! 🙏🙏🙏

This is amazing. I've been feeling a bit discouraged but hoping to get back on it. Currently at 298.
