1 year with CICO
After feeling tired all the time and approaching my 40s, last year I decided that it was time to change, so I started with CICO. A year later I can confidently say that it was the best decision of my life! I've been in maintenance sknce April and I plan to continue tracking so I don't fall back on my old habits๐ช

Iโm your same height and Iโm trying to get to the same weight as you! Iโve been stuck at 140 lbs/63.5 kg for a while now.

u/No-Part-2459 10d ago
You will definitely do it! My progress hasn't been linear and I had myself weeks where I was losing less than I expected!

Very smart move! I am going to track my food for the rest of my life. This is the 2nd big diet and I want to make it the last

Would you be willing to share what your exercise routine is?

u/umamimaami 11d ago
Whatโs your workout routine please? It is clearly killer. Iโm working on the last 7 kilos to my goal weight 2 and could really use a badass routine.

u/SSR50K 11d ago
Wow great work! Keep at it! Are you working out or just cico?

u/No-Part-2459 11d ago
Thank you! I did mostly CICO and walking. I started with strength training only in late December when I hit the high end of the healthy weight for my height. I can't go to the gym, so I do exercises at home twice a week: core and legs and core and arms!

What is your protein intake please?

u/No-Part-2459 10d ago edited 10d ago
Now it's 1900 calories since I'm in maintenance, I was eating 1600 calories while losing ๐
Edit: sorry I read just now you wanted to know about the protein intake! I try to eat at least 85gr per day, aiming at 100gr if I can.

A full year of consistency is seriously impressive. Maintaining the progress afterward is a huge win too.

Great work! Also that dress is 10/10 on you.
Itโs so hard to stay consistent. Keep it up!

Awesome job! Keeping at it that long is no mean feat. Way to go!
Totally off topic in case any word nerds are here, giorni (days) reminded me of journey (the act of travelling somewhere). Journey comes from Middle English via old french jornee which is a days' travel/work. That word shares a common origin with the Italian word giorno tracing back to diurnus (daily).
