This shows a difference of 114 pounds.

you look amazing, how did you do it?

Thank you! But I haven't done anything special. Calorie deficit! I haven't given up anything. I eat whatever I want in moderation. I'm pretty strict with portion control. I weigh/measure everything. I've been able to go out to eat… including at carb heavy places like Olive Garden and Mexican restaurants. I've had ice cream, brownies, pizza, hamburgers, etc. Those aren't everyday things… but I have given up nothing. I eat whatever I want… but I do have to say that what I want has changed over the past 8 months. For instance, carbonated beverages make me miserable these days. And fast food literally makes me sick. I know it's old news, especially on a site like this… but for me it really has all come down to the calorie deficit.

The macros that work best for me (both mentally and in terms of hunger) are carbs 50%/ protein 30%/ fat 20%. My days aren't always perfectly in line with those… but the average is pretty consistent. My carbs are usually from fruits and whole grains. I still struggle with veggies. They actually make me hungrier. But salads are my friend, so that is my only saving grace when it comes to veggies.

I workout 6 days a week, with a brisk 30 minute walk on my rest day. Workouts include weights and cardio. Cardio is usually steps and walking… but I'm currently doing couch to 5k right now to ease myself into jogging. I rarely eat back my exercise calories… but only because I would be uncomfortably stuffed if I tried. I have the energy I need to do what I want… I'll eat when I'm hungry, and my body is happy… so I don't feel the need to eat back my exercise calories just because they are there.

wow, these are all so inspirational! i just got back on the weight loss band wagon and have 60+ pounds to lose. I am at 228.5 right now and will need lots of support from mfp friends! I had to create a new account-come friend me! I am a good encourager too, the motivation and help from others goes both ways! great work all of you!!

I lost a little more than 60lbs from May 2013 to December 2013. I maintained through most of 2014, but I've regained some since being put on high-dose steroids in September (and, let's be honest, coping with winter boredom/chronic pain by eating too much). These photos are my progress shots from when I was doing my absolute best -- I want to keep my pride in them and remind myself that I'm good at this, I can be successful at this, and I'll be back at fighting weight soon enough. I think I'll try to take a new "before" this evening...

I am blown away by all of these amazing transformations! I applaud you all for sharing your photos and stories....truly been motivational for me as I have just begun my journey! Continued success for all of you!
