2026 Weight Loss Thread

Very good efforts here.

Suggest adding a slightly different focus toward lifestyle change to feel better and be able to do more vs. only weight loss. Maintenance is about lifestyle change.

This is coming from someone who lost 55 pounds and kept it off through lifestyle change for several years.
 
A little late to the party, but around Christmas I got on the scale and was surprised to see 235, heaviest I've ever been. Haven't felt great for a while, but now it's compounded by the birth of our daughter in May, which still has us reeling and trying to get in some semblance of normalcy. We both (wife and I) have been in survival mode for a while, and I feel like we're slowly clawing our way out.

The reality is that I have a serious food problem. To say I eat to excess would be an understatement, and that my eating habits are poor would be putting it lightly.

We're not doing some extreme lifestyle change, with lofty excersize goals. I've never really been to a gym for more than a treadmill, and I'm not planning on starting yet. I'm just doing what I usually do, but counting my calories.

Dec. 26th I weighed 235, yesterday I weighed 224.

I can be disciplined when I want to, having an app to keep track of things helps a lot, accountability to the wife adds some, and now a bunch of random strangers on the internet will see as well.
