I just changed my settings from lose to maintain... In September of last year I was 281 pounds... right now I hover around 185... some days down to 183 others 187 but basically right around 185...

Here I am last july and back in December

this was 75 pounds down around Feburary

and here I am today

My original goal was to get to 210... then I figured wtf might as well drop 100 pounds... I ditched that after I had an incident in my fire training where I passed out a couple of weeks back... I was low on calories before a strenuous training and it bit me in the *kitten*...

After that I went from 1800 calories to 2500 and if I get to 180 so be it... don't need to and don't care if I do at this point... would love to lose some of my extra stomach skin though... My Doctor says I may in time... so I'll wait and see... like I really have a choice :)

    there really was no secret... look at my diary it's open...

    the big thing to keep in mind is 281 to 185 is a huge step... but 281 to 280 isn't... and 280 to 279 isn't... just take lots of little steps and you can do it...
