Thanks for sharing! What a great inspiration to see someone normal (I.E. Not a body builder) losing weight the healthy way! :-D

Wow!!!!! Amazing!! I like you how kept track of everything in a spreadsheet. Do you feel like this helped you stay on track with your weight loss?

Forgot to mention, did you notice how much smaller your neck is, look how your necklace hangs lower. Wow, I have a large neck, and it doesn't seem to go down. You look amazing, your personal style says alot about your personality. I bet you have a terrific humor. I hope you and your wife find a long, happy, healthy thin live together. Welcome to the USA!

Thanks again, all .

Yes, most definitely. I am all about organization to an almost obsessive level, be it professionally or at home. Being able to track my progress over all levels, not just basic weightloss, helped a bunch. Having all my workouts/weight sets laid out the same way helped a lot, too - I knew what I had to do before I even got to the gym each session, which allowed me to prepare mentally and never allowed me to skimp if I was having a bad day. Gotta stay committed, even if you don't feel like it!

Thanks. Yep, neck was one of the measurements I was tracking, I lost 2 inches around between then and now, which is a lot considering it was only 16 inches to start with - that's a 12.5% reduction!

Well done!

I have got down to a similar weight as well recently (not on as low calories as yourself though, but I did it slower)
As I am a similar weight I was just wondering what amount of calories will you be moving up to now?

Thanks, and well done again!

awesome transformation - well done! The last set of pictures you seem to have gotten taller too - lol x

WOW! You look fantastic! I like the "before" picture, LOL, you look pissed off. Ha ha! Anyway, way to go! You are an inspiration to both people diagnosed with cancer and those who want to lose weight.

Good question! Today was my first day of maintaining. MFP has set me to 2200 to lose 0 lbs a week. Today I did 350 of walking, so that put me to 2500, and I ate 1700 . I have no idea how well I'll maintain, but as I said in the first post I am moving to the Land of Eating Cows All The Time soon, so hopefully I'll figure it out there!

It's interesting how non-americans view americans. "The land of eating cows all the time?" I've never heard us described that way before.

Wow this post has been really inspirational and I have roughly the same amount of weight to lose as you which has made this post much more relevant to me!

Well done!
