38 pounds lost - progress pics

Well here I am on the cusp of moving from obese to overweight. I started at 220 lbs and I'm down to 182. I don't have many pictures of me at 220 because I wasn't too fond of being photographed at that size. The 182 pictures were taken tonight, and though I'm not particularly proud of those either, I know I look and feel a damned sight better than I did 38 pounds ago. I'm 5'5, wearing size 14 Dockers jeans, previously wearing size 20s. I've been exercising and eating a calorie-reduced diet for 3.5 months now. I'm 30 years old. I attend a weight loss class at a gym 3 times a week that combines a variety of cardio and resistance training for an hour at a time, and I usually go once more per week and jog for 30-45 minutes. I eat 1200-1400 calories a day, aiming for 40% protein 30% carbs 30% fats. I sometimes eat back my exercise calories, but only if I'm hungry and/or anticipating a hard workout the next day. I have pretty consistently lost 1-3lbs per week. My goal is to reach a healthy weight (150lbs or less) before the end of July.

    Nice job!

    Thanks! Posting progress pictures is both horrifying and liberating. Everybody should try it. Even if you don't like your current size, you'll like seeing the changes you've made.
