Update: week 2

Hi everyone! For context, I‘m 5’2 and restarted at 265 in May. Got to 257lbs but felt stuck in a constant cycle of extreme challenges or expectations followed by burnout, and eventually extreme regain. I came here feeling hopeful that I could learn from people in the same journey. The overall advice was basically “Do less for more results that will last you a lifetime.” So that’s what I committed to during the past 2 weeks. Here’s a recap.

I reached a new low!! 254.8lbs :)

I’ve also meal prepped which is a big priority for me given that it reduced the amount of decisions I have to make in a day, eliminating any opportunity to impulsively snack or order out.
Movement was mainly from walks or some strength workouts. It was finally not too hot outside so I took the chance.

Goals for next week:

Food & Energy:

- Continue meal prepping

- Increase protein and track intake

Movement:

- Continue with a min of 15 minutes, stick to YouTube workout I found last week (it’s too hot to go out next week)

Thank you all for the support!!! I genuinely appreciate it <3
