I wanted to lose weight for my wedding. I was 230 pounds (up from about 220 pre-covid) and I wasn’t happy about how I looked or felt. So I got my wife (then fiance) onboard and told her I wanted to lose weight and started calorie counting. I set a goal of 185 by the wedding (September of the same year). I got there with 8 days to spare, and I love that I look fit and happy in all of our beautifully wedding photos.
The key is to start small, set attainable milestones, and have a support system. You need to feel and see success or you won’t stay motivated! I couldn’t have done it without my wife who helped by putting every calorie of every meal we made into the tracker. I made every five pounds a celebration, and a “cheat/treat” day. There will also always be set backs, and disappointing days/weeks. That’s where it’s important to keep perspective and be proud of how far you’ve come, and use that as motivation to keep going.
