Original Discovery

Hi all! I am hoping to re-introduce myself and make a post to keep me accountable to this sub. Last year I managed to lose roughly 25Ibs between April-November (I mostly lurked here, with an occasional post or comment), and I plateaued pretty hard. I think it was a mix of being burnt out on tracking and monitoring, but honestly I also lost a fair bit of weight! I think it's fair my body stalled out a bit. With that said, I spent the last year maintaining. I hover anywhere from 188-195Ibs, depending on how large and salt-forward my meals have been. I'm proud that I've been able to maintain this for a year, but I'm also ready to lose some more weight. Ironically, this was spurred by seeing a picture of myself at Halloween this year. My initial weight loss was also spurred by seeing a photo of myself on vacation lol. My ultimate goal is to lose a total of 58Ibs, meaning my goal weight is 155Ibs. This means I'll need to lose another 30-35Ibs. I don't necessarily anticipate doing this all at once. I'd be happy if I just managed to get another 25Ibs to put me in the 160s, but I also like to make my goals even smaller than that. So right now, I just want to get to the halfway goal of 184Ibs, and then maybe take it 10Ibs at a time from there. I think this go-around is going to be harder than it was initially. The first 25Ibs I lost were relatively easy because I essentially was focusing on portion control and adding in more veggies. I cut out food delivery and (most) drinks with calories. This time around, I think I'm going to need to focus on increasing my protein and general satiety, as well as figure out how to balance exercise with losing weight. I'm not doing anything crazy - I aim for 5k steps M-Sa, with 1 day of Pilates and 2 days of strength training - but trying to figure out my calorie goals and managing hunger is going to be hard. Starting out I'm aiming for 1600 calories, but I've got a TDEE spreadsheet to track and make sure I'm eating enough to lose weight while also exercising at my levels. Unfortunately, I'm not someone who has ever been able to manage hunger well so I know that my calorie deficit is just going to have to be smaller, and weight loss is going to have to take a little longer. It's not satisfying, but it's the way it needs to be for me to see any real, lasting change. Anyway, I'm hoping to get a little encouragement here, and also hoping that being more active on this sub can help me stay accountable to this new round of weight loss. Best wishes to you all!
