Not sure how to post pictures, gonna give it some trial and error.


I'm in the gray. This is about the time I maxed out at around 250lbs.



Under 200!

Just 10-15 lbs to go! I'm especially proud of all the lost weight when I factor in how much muscle I've actually gained. It's amazing how many nagging problems disappear when you put the proper weight on your frame. Every aspect of my day is easier. Just getting rest when I sleep, and being able to get out of bed at a moment's notice has made all the work worth it. I used to have a re-occuring back injury where some tiny muscle would get tweaked and mess with a nerve at random times. I'm usually okay with pain, but it would literally take my breath away when aggravated. Ever since I dropped below 220, the problem has been non-existent. I used to be bad about pulling muscles, and even had a stress fracture in my food from taking time off and neglecting my body, and trying to jump back into fitness all at once.The difference maker was definitely just a change in sustainable lifestyle. I only eat when I'm hungry, and make it a priority to work out at least every other day as opposed to when I feel like it. It's funny how working out actually makes you eat better, and skipping workouts makes you give up and eat whatever you want. I remind myself of the back pain every time I feel like being lazy and taking some time off.

Wow! Great job. Congrats to you. That's a huge accomplishment. My husband is about 3 lbs from being over 200. Did your weight loss slow down when you were close to getting there? His seems to be, and he's getting kind of discouraged about it.

i meant under 200.

NathanEHarvey

It slows down with every pound you drop. Once I hit 210 I couldn't just run faster or farther to keep the results going. I finally had to change my diet up. (Cooking at home isn't THAT bad it turns out). Soda was also a big factor. Water gets old for me, but even replacing soda with orange juice, vitamin water, or something else moderately sweet will pay off big time.

Also, my ticker shows the weight I started at once I found this site. Is there any way to change the starting weight to the heaviest I was?
