    You are definitely working hard at this and the difference is amazing. Your last five pound loss looks like it is a lot more.

    Got to admit I will be one of those that will be pleased that you are upping your calories.

    Well done!

    You didn't lose anymore weight but you were gaining muscle and becoming more toned. You look great. I started 95 days ago at 219 and have been stuck at 204 all March. I hit 201 today and will begin some light weight training. You're an inspiration.

    hi guys, I'm Sierra (:
    I started my weight loss journey in August, 2012 at 260 pounds. I was tired of being so big and decided to do something about it! I got down to 230 fairly quickly, by November, but the last 30 I really struggled with.
    After what seemed like ages, i finally reached 205 in March. Then i plateaued and got stuck at 205 for almost a month. This last month I upped my calorie intake and finally reached 200 pounds this morning!
    My goal is to reach 190, I'm ready to get it done! thanks guys, I'll post more once I reach my next goal (:

    *a side note, a few commented that I don't look like I'm 200 pounds. I forgot to post that I am almost 6'1'' and fairly big boned. (:

    from 260(June 2012) to 200 (04-05-13)

    I'd kill for that figure. Lovely waist and hips.

    Are you very tall? Would never have guessed you were 260, 230, or 200. You carry your weight really well. Great job!


    i am just under 6'1'' (: you can call me Amazon Woman (; lol

    thank you all so much! its hard for me to visually SEE the difference in my body (i suffer BDD, like most women) but how much better i FEEL is incredible!

    yeah, I'm excited to see what upping my calorie intake will do.. sometimes i find it hard to even reach my 1300 daily goal, so i think 1500 might be pretty difficult. but nothing worth having comes easy, right? (:

    You look so good!! :drinker:

    Your thread is inspiring not only cause of your results but the mention of upping cals.. I've been stuck around 166-168 for a few weeks, upped my cals 2 weeks ago, hovering more now around 166lbs. Hoping that eating 2000+ cals a day will help me lose again :D
