    Way to go girl! I'm 23 & my starting weight was 193lbs. I weighed today & was 161.8. My goal is to be about 140-145. I saw earlier you have someone the advice to make short term goals. COULDNT AGREE MORE!! When I was 193 my short term goal was to get into the 180's, I hit that & my next short term goal was to be in the 170's & so on. I love success stories & thank you so much for sharing yours. It's so important to keep each other inspired! :-)
    You are doing great!!!! Keep it up!

    I've just been floating around this weight for a few months now which is a little annoying but I really need to make a push on shifting it again! :)

    Wow you said you did 1200 cal a day ! That's so good. ThTs what I'm doing and it seems so hard. As a women how do you not have your " cravings for Chocolate " ?

    Is 1200 calories per day advisable for a man? I'm 5'11'' about 240 and I want to get down to 200. Did you hit the gym some days too or you just ate cleaner?

    I no nutritionist, but I would say 1600-1800 calories and try to remain in the deficit. I'm beginning a cut cycle because in the past, I was far to concerned with bulking up. I'm 6'1 and currently 260 lbs and looking to be a solid 205 lbs

    Good work! @jdevergillo7

    Oh I do! I'm currently eating gelato..Talenti brand is amazing!!! The key is portion control...the container has 4 servings and I make sure I make it last 4-6 times! That means more days for icecream anyways!

    I am 5'6" as well, and 157 lbs, but have at least another 22 lbs to go, maybe more. Do you lift heavy? I still look so...out of shape. I do run, do dance class, and do machine weights, but I think I need to start looking at heavier weights? I pretty much lost a lot of my definition after I had ruptured rotator cuff (surgery and over 1+ years of PT) and was on bedrest for my youngest son (who is now one).

    I used to do croasfit but for the past year I have not been lifting...started up kickboxing 3 weeks ago and I am going to do that for another month
