So a little background on me: I was really depressed when I got pregnant (seven years ago) and gained a lot of weight. I didn't eat poorly, it was just too often and too much, and not enough activity. I'm lucky in that I don't have a sweet tooth and I've never cared for junk food in general. I gained over 100 pounds on my 5'11" frame, putting me at my highest weight of 247lbs.
I worked really hard to lose 50 pounds and was down at 197lbs for several years, going between 195-199. Then I got really discouraged with my plateau and wasn't ready to commit to the training and lifestyle needed to get back to my pre-pregnancy body. I gained again, back up to 220lbs. Again, I wasn't eating poorly, just a lot and not exercising.
I went up and down between 200-220 over the next few years following that, winter bulking, summer shedding, just from different eating habits due to the season... I don't tolerate cold very well and tend to eat a lot during the winter. In October of this year, I was around 220 again, and my daughter went to her father's for his share of joint custody and I felt like I was ready to commit to changing my body.
I went on a supervised VLC low carb, high fat diet, and began working out 5x a week for 2-3 hours a day. I found clen to help with my exercise-induced asthma and found that it helped me go from walking to the elliptical for my cardio. When I got down to 200, since I was on a VLCD, I decided to try HCG injections as well. I did a cycle and dropped about 15 pounds, to 185, and 95% of it was body fat (by measurement).
Feeling super motivated, having dropped several pants sizes, I pushed another 13 pounds off without Clen and HCG. So now I'm 172lbs, 24% BF, down from 247lbs and 36% BF.
However, I've been here for over a month. I'm no longer at any sort of unhealthy state, but it's time to come off my VLCD (nutritionist is MIA) and I am worried about scaling up improperly. On top of that, I'd like to come down to 15-16% BF with a weight of 135-141lbs.
Of course, like anyone else, I'd love to be at my goal in 3 months, but hey, I'm not unrealistic. My ultimate goal time, I think, is March of next year.
Also, if giving advice on nutrition, I'm lactose-intolerant and I'm highly sensitive. The only cheese I've been able to tolerate is a really dry, aged parmesan. I can crush up lactaid pills into cream cheese, sour cream, yogurt, ricotta and cottage cheese (anything creamy/liquid really). I don't drink cow's milk, because I don't like it, lactaid or not. I also have an allergy to a protein in wheat. I prefer fish to other meats, but I will eat chicken once a week or so. And I have a slight allergy to corn, so I tend to avoid it.
