Thank you for this thread @Nick1994
Looking back - I felt best around 200lbs mark, so that's gonna be my goal weight: 190-200lbs. If less - great, but at very least I wish to get to those numbers. I'm 6'1", or 185cm to be exact. Turned 30 last month.
When I got married six years ago, I was at ~250lbs mark. (I guess I wasn't too ugly, since I got a girlfriend in April and got married in October same year.) Two weeks ago I hit my "highscore" of 355lbs... It hit different... Many thoughts crossed my mind that day...
So I started intermittent fasting the same day. Went the carnivore route, with a splash of keto (mostly to keep wife happy, as she doesn't think 100% carnivore is a good idea. I disagree, but happy wife = happy life). Today, without any workouts, I'm down to 338lbs. Basically 1lb off daily, by eating steaks/ground beef/chicken/turkey/eggs once per day. Best tasting diet ever for me, since I love meat so much. Sometimes there is a second meal, but it did become super easy to keep it at OMAD, One Meal A Day. I eat until comfortably stuffed, so that there is less temptation for a second meal that day.
Water intake is as close to a gallon-per-day as I can get it, but never less than half-a-gallon. That's just water, not counting herbal tea or coffee. No snacks between meals.
Hopefully I can keep this momentum going, and maybe even increase the daily LB loss. But I'd like to thank many of you, as many of your public posts helped me strengthen the discipline around my eating habits. Hopefully one day I can get to my goal. But for now I still got a long way to go....
