After 248 days I surpassed my goal!! 388 to 219.6

ShaneLynch1972 · February 2016

I was hoping to hit 220 today, but I guess 219.6 will do. :-) This goes to show if you want something bad enough, and have people that care about you supporting you, you can do anything you set your mind to. I can't even begin to thank everyone that took time out of their lives to join me on my journey. Now for the numbers. Since 6/11/15 I have lost an average of .679 pounds a day, 43.4% of my original weight for a total of 168.4 pounds in 248 days. Nothing spectacular, but not too shabby. This was achieved with no surgeries, and no diet plans. Just a healthy change in diet and a more active lifestyle, but mainly walking. (I'm not knocking anyone that has Gastric Bypass. I had considered it but wanted to give a try without it)

That is beyond amazing without specific diets, plans, etc...! I was proud of 45 lbs over the same amount of time, busting my hump at the gym and dieting like a body builder!!

Congrats!!!

It's a local Mexican restaurant call Fiesta Grande. Very yummy and good prices.

"Nothing spectacular, but not too shabby." Absolutely spectacular! Proof that people can do this without fad diets.

You look fantastic, well done

A well deserved congratulations to you. You must feel like a million bucks. Just one question though; are you dealing with loose skin? I have quite a bit of weight to lose myself, and have a rather large gut. I am concerned about possibly ending up with a large amount of loose skin when I get to my goal weight.

The last time I was at this weight was when I was around 25 years old. It's an awesome feeling. I do have a little loose skin on my belly, upper legs, and just a smidge under my arms. It's really not as bad as I thought it would be. It's nothing like what I have seen on TV shows like "Skin Tight". I am truly lucky and blessed.
