120 pound loss now bulking
Hello all! I started at 248 and lost 120 pounds over a course of 2.5 years. Mostly did just calorie counting, but towards the end added macro counting as well since I was severely lacking in my protein intake. I got down to a size 4(started at a 22/24) and felt too thin and didn’t have the muscles I wanted. So now I’m…

never been so happy to finally hit "average"!
Completed a hydrostatic weigh-in this morning. 23.6% BF! That's ... average! (BW is 180.3) I've been overweight 5ever. Last year when I did the dunk tank, I was at...28% BF, maybe? Maybe it was 30%. I'll have to go home and find my papers; however, I think I did gain 6lbs muscle mass. Tell ya what. Being honest with myself…

Food Discoveries/trends
While logging food, has anyone made connections between food/allergies/etc. I know an elimination style diet is the best way to evaluate, but I also know the logistics of that and my current commitment to one are currently not aligned. I just think it would be nice to notice if/when I eat certain foods, I feel more/less…

Down 40# and counting!
Super excited to get back from a 2 week vacation where there were indulgences to find that I must have balanced things correctly because I basically maintained the progress I have made so far. Now that I am back I've kicked it into high gear and back on a losing streak, which in my case is a good thing! 16.9# left to reach…

Measurements When Strength Training
I am interested to see how measurements, arm, thigh, waist, etc. change over time when weightlifting without dieting and when weightlifting with dieting. I am a 5'8" woman and around 148 lbs. I assume if I lose say .5 to 1 lb a week while lifting I'd expect to see all my measurements get smaller even if I was gaining some…

60lbs down after back surgery!
In 2016 I weighed in at 200 lbs. On my 5’4” frame it was destroying my body. That year I herniated 2 disks in my lower back and ended up needing surgery to stop nerve damage. My surgeon said that if I didn’t lose weight he would be seeing me again to operate on the other disk. I was terrified! After physical therapy I…

Success!
Just seen the practice nurse HB1Ac down to 40 (5.8%) from 67 (8.3%) and Metformin dose halved in 6 months. Bloods are the best for 10 years!! Would like advice on where now. Could still do with losing weight but could I have a few more carbs? Currently I have about 30 to 50 grams.

Weight loss is not linear---237 lbs later and loving life
I have written success stories four times before—back in September 2013 when I was 116 lbs down, the next month when having lost that much weight allowed me to do an amazing charity rappel down an office building in downtown San Antonio, in February 2014 when I crossed from Obese class II, or “morbidly obese” to a mere…
