This is great, congratulations! This actually brought a tear to my eye, how many times has this journey seemed hopeless and pointless, and how many times I've also wanted to give up. I've been too afraid to go to a Dr. Or even take a "before" photo, two things that you have done even when feeling at your lowest. I'm cheering for you as well.

How many calories were you eating if i may ask

I changed my caloric intake on a monthly basis depending on my weight. I'd take my weight x 13.5 and subtract 1,000 for weight loss.

So if I weighed 400 I would: 400x13.5-1,000=4,400.

I would also eat back whatever I exercised. So, if I lifted weights for an hour in the gym I'd add on 400 or so calories.

I lost about 2lbs a week on average

Great job!

I'm in a similar boat. I've lost all the weight (from 360 to 220), but now I want to pack on some muscle. Do you have a lifting routine that you follow?

I do power lifting normally. I've designed my own program. For the exact routine send me a message and I'll send you some screen shots
