    Wow! You lost that much without even cutting junky food out of your diet, I didn’t know that was possible! I’m going the full 9 yards, completely throwing out junk food and hitting the gym and so far haven’t seen much of a change. But then again I was being healthy and gym 2 hours a night for only a week and a half and then stopped for 5 days lol. Maybe that’s why... you’re looking so good btw!!!

    I don’t know my first BMI but I’m now around 26 or so. I’m around 11% body fat right now so I don’t really care about BMI

    What was your calorie intake per day, I'm assuming you had 0 days off in that time.

    That's a ton in that time. Played.

    Truly an inspiration. What sparked you to lose weight? I’ve got 50lbs to lose and it’s such a mental think. The self sabotage is so strong for me

    now that you are at 187 lbs, dont focus in weight anymore. just try to low your fat % and put more time in the resistance workout. hight weights and 6-12 reps is the best way to burn more calories and to maintain/build muscles.
