I still feel pretty heavy at times but it's getting better. Still another 60 or so to go!

    Can you tell us what you find has worked for you? You are doing fine indeed. I have much to do still, they say the younger you are the easier it is to take off and you are a guy so that helps too? Maybe?

    I'm 19, so I guess age has helped a lot but my max weight was over 475. I didn't start my journey until around 450.

    What I found works for me is sticking to a calorie limit. Don't limit yourself with foods but go with the healthier option overall.
    Let's say we're at Burger King. Don't choose the whopper, go for the BBQ chicken salad without croutons. I actually chose that last night since I was exhausted and didn't want to cook.

    Also prepare your meals 3-4 days out. Weekends are my typical cheat days but I never go over 2-2.5k calories per day.

    Work out consistently. I choose to workout everyday if I can. 3-4 days a week will help.
    No matter if you're a woman or man, start weight lifting. It's beneficial and will NOT make you look like a man. Muscle is sexy.

    At 19 years old you sir are not only doing it right, you know exactly what you are talking about! Excellent advice really, especially for the younger crowd that have not already destroyed their bodies and metabolism.
