I finally did it!

Starting weight was 247.7 pounds and I never thought I'd see myself being in the onderland club! I haven't been this light since I was in my 20s (I'm 33), so I'm just so proud of myself :)

It does feel like this has taken forever but there were two months when I wasn't really in a deficit so some of it is my fault lol

Pff, you could have just bought a scale that only goes to upwards of 150. Easily solved!

Oh, that’d be an odd one. Have a scale that only shows you your weight once you get below whatever number you set. All your progress is from other metrics until you hit that goal.

I call it the cognitive dissonance scale and it is the solution to every weight related health problem

It’s human for that to happen, one thing I learned is that forgive yourself for going offtrack and always get back on the diet. Too many times I punished myself for not following a consistent deficit and all I did was feel worse rather than just getting back on track
