So, this is what progress looks like. Not a steady, constant drop. Rather, a series of ups and downs.
This is from the past 3 years since I started tracking. I'd started with a keto diet after hitting 190# in 2012, made a big drop, switched to low-carb-high-fat (LCHF), took an entire year off, then jumped right back in.
During the year break, I still ate moderately healthy, but added an average of around 150g carbs/day by adding a little pastas and breads. You can see I only gained about 10#, but lacking protein and weight lifting, I'd lost most of my muscle gains and the resulting weight was MINUS 15# muscle with about 25# fat GAINED.
It may not sound like much, but I have a very thin frame and my body holds all the fat in the middle. My face gets a little chubby, but my arms and legs stay skinny, so I get to rock a pot belly!
For the past year, after the previous years of trial and error, I've found my perfect caloric deficit, how often I can eat garbage so I don't need to cheat, and have run a few more experiments to perfectly adapt my eating with what my body seems to agree with.
Prior to this picture (which is a screenshot from my power lifting app), my losses were slow. Even with strict keto, it took almost a year to get under control. Although, I'd lost my belly, I just looked thin... then I found my new best friend: WEIGHTS!
Revolutionized my energy, sleep patterns, eating habits, and motivation!
The small spikes are when I was lifting heavy because I was gaining a lot of muscle mass while losing a ton of fat!
All said, I was 138# my senior year of high school. I'd gained 40# since (not to mention 8" to my waist). Now I'm lower than high school weight, but in great shape (physique) AND great blood panel numbers (health).
Quite a little journey. Again, nothing compared to most of you guys as far as numbers. I never wanted to lose tons. I just wanted to like what I see when I came out of the shower. 😉
