Almost 6 months into taking care of myself, down over 40 lbs

M21 6'5 SW 244 CW 199 Hello! I've been a fat kid my whole life and decided I needed to change. I am now only 15 lbs away from my goal weight. Most of this weight loss came from counting calories and minimizing binging. I used to binge a few times a week (port wine cheese spread was my bitch) and even though I still have issues with food, I've gained a lot of self-control over these past months.

Dieting was roughly 80% of my weight loss while exercise was a mere 20%. Exercise for me was just walking 10K steps 5 days a week. My only advice would be that when you get frustrated with your weight loss, don't go to the gym 2 hours a day for weeks, you'll just get burnt out. Start slow and make slow, incremental changes to your diet while putting exercise on the back burner.
