So currently I am down 40 lbs, I don't plan to lose anymore. Currently am maintaining and eating in a small surplus to hopefully build a little muscle...



I'm 6 feet and was 180 (not my highest weight, 205 was) and currently am 137.

It took me a year, I decided it was s lifestyle change and I was just going to focus on me being healthy and active and knew the results would come in time. I lifted weights and did sprints 3 days a week and kept my NEAT UP outside of the gym. (google that If you don't know)

Lol. it is in my case

Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT).

Abstract
Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is the energy expended for everything we do that is not sleeping, eating or sports-like exercise. It ranges from the energy expended walking to work, typing, performing yard work, undertaking agricultural tasks and fidgeting. Even trivial physical activities increase metabolic rate substantially and it is the cumulative impact of a multitude of exothermic actions that culminate in an individual's daily NEAT. It is, therefore, not surprising that NEAT explains a vast majority of an individual's non-resting energy needs. Epidemiological studies highlight the importance of culture in promoting and quashing NEAT. Agricultural and manual workers have high NEAT, whereas wealth and industrialization appear to decrease NEAT. Physiological studies demonstrate, intriguingly, that NEAT is modulated with changes in energy balance; NEAT increases with overfeeding and decreases with underfeeding. Thus, NEAT could be a critical component in how we maintain our body weight and/or develop obesity or lose weight. The mechanism that regulates NEAT is unknown. However, hypothalamic factors have been identified that specifically and directly increase NEAT in animals. By understanding how NEAT is regulated we may come to appreciate that spontaneous physical activity is not spontaneous at all but carefully programmed.

You look amazing! Can I ask what your calorie limit was while losing? Thanks!

What I love about this is that you're 6'0" because I am as well. My heaviest was about 195 and I'm sitting close to 165-170 at the moment. I'm feeling really good at this weight but plan to go to about 155-160. Way to go girly.

That's awesome!! Congrats! My "goal weight" was 165 but then I just kept going and realizing that it's not about the weight, it's the body composition that I was really after, so once I hit 140, I was happy with what I saw, not because of the number!

That's how I've been feeling lately too. My weight has stabilized for the time being but I see my measurements decreasing which is what I'm really aiming for anyways. My hips are much wider than yours though so I don't see 140 in my future but you never know. What was the last to go for you? My legs have finally caught up with my waist and upper body. It took 7 months and I am finally seeing some shape in them.

For me I first lost a lot in my waist and upper body, and then my hips and thighs came next, but I still hold a little fat in my stomach and thighs that kind of bug me but not enough to try and lose more, so I'm focusing on building muscle and then will cut again and hope that the muscle will fill those fattier areas left

It takes a couple cycles!
