    @KrisiAnnH Fab Well done!

    You look amazing! What's been working for you?

    Thank you! Currently just eating at a deficit. When I first started I was working out 5x a week, but since starting a new job things have been a lot more hectic so I've been slacking off with exercise (job is pretty active so I'm not totally sedentary).
    I'm eating 1210 cals for a 1.5lb loss a week, I haven't cut anything out and don't worry about anything like low carb etc I just stick to my calorie goal. I do go over once a week and eat to maintenance for a treat day, so I can have things like takeaways, and if I want other treats during the week I'll eat less other days to bank some calories :) hope that's helpful? Haha

    So many amazing losses! I remember scrolling through this board (or similar ones) when I started for inspiration, so felt like maybe I should contribute towards it now I've lost some :)
    Still a work in progress, so not quite a 'before and after' just yet, more of a 'before and during' :)
    Started at 205lbs. CW 171. GW 160 (will reevaluate once I hit that and see how I feel, but will probably try and get down to 145 or something) Please excuse the messy bathroom in the background haha yiak6boco2te.jpg
    how did you accomplish this? I'm at your SW and looking to get to around your same GW

    Aw thank you ☺️ I have to admit, I joined a gym, but found it wasn't for me and stuck it out for just two months. I did jogging maybe twice a week round the streets, and made sure I walked a lot too. Getting off the bus/train a stop or two early etc. All in all it took about 18 months x

    I replied to a similar question a few posts up asking how I did it. I've upped my cals a bit since then to 1350, so my loss will be a little less than 1.5lbs a week. I'm planning on possibly lowering it again once things aren't so crazy busy!

    5 1/2 stone lighter.

    You look great! How many pounds is that? What did you do for exercise? How restrictive was your diet?

    It would be 77 pounds. One stone is 14 pounds.
