    Spill your secrets! You look great! I have 20lbs to go and would love to know how you did it!

    I lost the first twenty one summer when I got really busy and ate less/moved more just because I was always on the go, then I got sick that fall with mono and it took me a long time to recover. I started MFP at 156lbs and was trying to get by on 1200 calories because that was the default option and I didn't know any better. Felt like crap, surfed the forums and did my research and ended up eating my BMR + all exercise calories and tried working out for three months straight. I did the random workouts I found online and stuff I remembered from high school the first month, 30 day shred the second month, various other circuit training exercises for half of the third month and couldn't do it anymore so I started incorporating rest days (I thought it was fine to work out everyday but it wore me out after awhile and I wouldn't recommend that to anybody, you can still lose weight with rest days too!)

    I now lift heavily 3x a week, my longest run to date was 8 miles, I joined a gym and I either run or ride my bike to and from it on top of my usual workout. It's not just about losing weight for me anymore, I seriously enjoy working out and pushing the limits of my body so that's why I do it so much. I also love to eat. :wink: I'm currently following the Road Map method loosely and starting to try cyclling calories so I maintain my LBM and lose fat.

    If you have any more questions, let me know!

    I voted for you.
    What fantastic work.
    You actually didn't look to be 175 in the first picture. You carried your weight really well.
    But you look absolutely fantastic now.
    Good luck!
