    First picture was 194.2 lbs on 1/9/12
    Second was 2 weeks ago at 175 lbs.
    I have lost another couple lbs since the last picture and still have 23 lbs left to loose.
    I usually eat 1400-2300 calories a day. Just depends on my exercise, where I am at on my weekly goal and if I'm hungry or not.
    I'm 5'10" and my goal is 150 lbs
    You can veiw my diary if you want. I tend to focus more on the weeks calorie goals then the daily. That is why I have days where I am way over and under. I think zig zaging my calories helps me.

    holy crap! you look great! i can't believe you need to lose 23 more lbs... i don't see it!

    Absolutely no starving here! Always eating between 1650 and 2500 (even more!) calories per day. I cut NOTHING out and eat out at least once or twice a week. I run 3 days a week with light strength until I am cleared by the doctor to start a heavy lifting program. It can be done! :wink:

    Ed, every time I see your pics I am a believer! Just 7kg down since September 2011 and am still trying to find my 'sweet spot' for weight loss.

    Started at 127kg (279 lbs) and now 120kg (264lbs) I am now walking several times a week and building up my strength training.

    I can't run yet but hopefully it's not too far away. Once again thanks for posting and please stay on MFP so that we can all learn from you and gain inspiration and motivation!

    Like most everyone, I started here at 1200 because I wanted the weight GONE as soon as possible. That lasted for about a month before I realized that wasn't a good game plan. For the majority of my weight loss, I ate between 1350-1500 plus exercise calories, so typically between 1800-2000 total calories a day. For exercise, I run and strength train. I recently had to increase my calories to over 1800 net because I was still losing on maintenance!

    But what I find more amazing is that last time I tried to lose weight, and ate under 1000 calories a day, I looked a LOT different at my "goal weight."

    ^^This is what I was hoping to see when I clicked on this thread. This is a a great representation of what could be done with cardio alone vs a well-rounded exercise program! Thanks for posting!

    I started at 1,200 calories a day because I didn't know better.

    I lost about 15 pounds from February thru July of 2011. Then I started eating at least 1,650 a day - up to 2,200 depending on TDEE - and weight started FALLING OFF.

    About that same time I started lifting weights - and backed off the cardio.

    Am I looking bulky and mannish yet? :wink:

    Thank you for your pics! It refutes the claim that lifting will make you gain weight and look bulky. I would love to have your shape any day, and am working on making mine the best it can be, a little at a time!
