    Wow! Great changes. I am currently 172 as well. Still working on losing while building muscle. I still have loose skin and its been years since I was any bigger than 190. You really look amazing, Do you plan on losing more or maintaining now? Would love to be friends since we have similar body type and weight!

    It took me about 7 months to go from 265 to around 190. When I started dating my current girlfriend I was so lovesick that I had no appetite and didn't sleep well...that helped me get down to 180 in one month. I stayed between 180 - 187 from July 2013 to April 2014. Starting in May of this year, I lost the rest of it.

    I do have some batwings, just not as noticeable..... but I have skin tags with nipples for boobs, lol. And a loaf of bread for a stomach. Haha....

    What helped me most in the beginning was:

    *eating higher amounts of protein
    *cutting out beer and cheese (dairy)
    *walking for 1/2 hr 3 days a week
    *not snacking after dinner
    *letting myself have what I want every now and then (pizza, hamburger, etc.)

    It's a challenge when you feel hungry.. try to make sure you're eating enough calories. I ate 1800 for most of my weight loss and that was pretty easy to achieve most days. Eating out blew my calories out the window, so I packed my lunch for work.

    Good luck :)

    I think I'm going to be maintaining mostly now. I'd like to get my body used to this new set-point and see how I feel. My body fat percentage is around 26% now, and I feel pretty good at this amount.

    I am just starting also and could use a buddy on this system. Still learning all of the features! I started at 283.5 and am now down to 271.5. I am only 5'5" so I have a long way to go!
