62 LBS Lost-Love of Fitness Found (pics-before and current)

In ten days I’ll be hitting my one year streak anniversary on MFP. I wanted to post some before and after pics from this past year to celebrate since so many of your success stories really helped me to get started. I have been so inspired by all of you! While I may not post on the forums much I’ve creeped them quietly almost every day for a long time and I’m so grateful for everyone’s contributions whether I agree with them or not. I’ve picked up some great information and tips, learned what information to ignore and been inspired to research as much about nutrition and fitness for myself as possible. Learning about nutrition and fitness (and doing it obviously) is honestly one of my favorite things now. I lost 62 Pounds mostly during the first 9 months of the year; while I might want to lose 5 or so more my focus now (and for the past few months) is on recomp and getting as strong as possible. I could honestly care less what the scale says, I finally love my body not for the way it looks but for the things it can do which is the absolute best feeling in the world. What a year it’s been! I didn’t want to make this too long but if I can answer any questions or help anyone in any way I’m more than happy to. Anyone can do this it just takes the motivation and commitment to be a healthier you.


Also, thank you so much to my sister @Krock83, you are the reason I found my passion for heavy lifting and the thing that kept me logging into MFP in the beginning. Thanks to all of my other MFP friends too! You guys keep this place interesting

Thanks @blb85! As far as diet I ate about 1700 calories Monday through Friday and 1900 calories Saturday and Sunday to lose the bulk of the weight. As far as workouts for the first 6 months I did whatever workout was scheduled at my crossfit gym 3 times a week and maybe a light run or golf one day a week.

Now I eat about 2000 M-F and slightly more on the weekends and days that are cardio intensive with a 40P/30c/30f macro split. Most of my food is made up of protein, full fat dairy and fruits and veggies, I have a hard time digesting wheat so I tend to avoid it. My workouts now consist of 4 or 5 days a week with a strength component and a crossfit WOD and 2 days a week of additional lifting (sometimes on the same day as the CF workouts). I rest at least 1 full day a week and often have a 2nd active rest day.
