So to start off I’m 5’11 male, was 35 when I started, and roughly 225 lbs give or take. I’ve been as big as 285 in the past, went through anorexia due to a lot of factors including a really bitter divorce and got down to almost 135 lbs, and then I went from that back up to 245 at one point and then back down to 225ish where I had stuck for about 4 or 5 years, I think maybe longer I can’t remember anymore. I was 245 in 2010, I do remember that.
So, long story short my goal going into this was just hey try to do 1 lb a month on average. I figured I’d have good months and bad months but it would all kind of average out if I watched myself and kind of rounded off the edges not gaining too much in the bad months.
Also when I started my bf% was 38%.
So basically I just started trying to walk a lot and do some basic weight lifting even though I was very weak, and yeah eventually started running.
I generally try to average about 2300 calories a day but yeah sometimes I binge.
I started running, I’m back to playing tennis pretty competitively at the 4.0 level, and even ran five miles yesterday and so forth.
I’ve lost about 13.6 lbs now, (measured by my happy scale app) and I’m right at 14 months. Best of all I went and did a scan and my body fat is down to 24%, I know that’s still pretty fat.
Anyway, I just don’t want to be anorexic again, it was really hard on my family. But I see others losing weight quickly and I’m scared to go back to my doctor I feel like I haven’t lost enough weight, am I doing good enough?
