5'6'', 215 to 173 in a year

sprale · February 2016

Here is my last year's progress. I'm down from an all time high of 237 lbs. I lost about 60 lbs and then gained back most of it, reaching 230 lbs, due to medication. In Fall of 2014, I started losing again through a medically managed program. Now I am around 173, according to the scale today.

My plan now is to keep losing and get down to 150 lbs as well as work on strength training. I'm doing PiYo to develop strength and flexibility. I also do Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire, ballet, and walking for exercise.

The main part of my program however has been getting my eating under control. By logging every day and keeping my calories at a reasonable amount given my goals, I've managed to lose over 50 pounds since I started the medically managed program for the second time. I still sometimes overeat and binge, but I'm a lot better than I used to be.

Here's another picture of me at my current weight.

Way to go! Thanks for sharing. I'm the same height and weight with same goal weight, so it's very helpful.

Awesome progress! You look incredible and it is so nice to see you smiling and looking happy in the current pictures. It's nice to progress pictures from someone with the same stats as me - I am 5'6" and this morning weighed 172.
