So the first time I started my weight loss journey was at the beginning of 2020, and by the end of the year I had gotten down from 317 lbs. (143.7 kg) to 230 lbs (104.3 kg) and I had done comparison pics at 317 lbs and 245 lbs and there was quite a difference as there should. Also I realize that since it was four years ago, age may have something to do with this. I was 33 at the time and now I'm 37. Well recently from October 30th of 2023 and today I've gone from 285 lbs (129 kg) down to my lowest since high school 227 lbs (102.9 kg) and the results are far less dramatic. Also I realize there's a huge difference from 317 and 285 but still should have been as noticeable.
Also I did a side by side of the first progress picture at 245 and 227 and there's virtually no difference. The methods of weight loss have been similar but in the last month and a half going from 255 to 227 I didn't stick to the same meal plan and ashamedly I haven't been eating much due to some depression after a break up. My protein intake isn't as high but still decent and I cut out alcohol both times. Also both times I didn't really exercise much but again, I'm wondering if age is the issue or if the fluctuations have anything to do with it. When I hit 230 at the end of 2020 I gained most of it back in less than a year. And kinda stayed there until 2 and a half years later when I started again.
I plan on going back to my dietician to see if changing my diet will make a difference. And I'm definitely planning on going back to the gym. I'm also wondering if the more rapid weight loss this time around has anything to do with it. Like I've lost almost 60 lbs in a year but 30 of it was from October 2023 to February 2024 then I got into a relationship and got comfortable and stayed at about 255 for 7 months then lost 28 lbs in a month and a half. I'm thinking that may also have something to do with it because I once read the faster you lose weight the more excess skin you could have.
Anyways, just wondering if anyone else has dealt with that or knows if it has to do with age or the speed of loss or both before I go talk to a dietician or if there's someone else to consult. TIA
