Hey guys!
So I finally reached 60lbs down after being stupidly close for most of this year. I'm posting pics mostly to motivate myself, and hopefully someone else.
Honestly doesn't seem like a 60 lbs difference to me but it's still good. My goal is 135/healthy body fat.
Here's what I've done so far:
-Move! I work out 3-8 times a week, depending on how motivated I am. I always lift 3x a week and add as much cardio as I can muster. I do a lifting video for my weights and have been trying to work on c25k and do step aerobics for cardio.
-Eat less but not too much less. I started out eating what MFP wanted me to in order to loose 1 lb a week. I ignored this when it seemed like something I couldn't stick to. I had my calories at 1650 for a long time, and then a few weeks ago figured out that was barely my BMR, so I switched to TDEE -20% which is around 1800. I actually loose more quickly this way because I do not binge as much.
-Don't cut anything out. I still eat cookies and pizza and all kinds of crap. Just less. I'm trying to work on more fruits and veggies.
That's about it. MFP is an amazing tool and when you make your self accountable, the weight comes off. Simple as pie!
Edit: Ok, MFP catch up to the fact that I've resized these . . .
