Half way mark - 40lbs lost

lace009 · September 2013

New here and figured I would start out with my progress so far. I have been following IIFYM and weight training for the past 8 months, and have lost 40 lbs since the beginning of December. I was 235lbs when I started, and I'm half way to my goal of 155-145lbs. I haven't put a set number on weight because I have no idea with the muscle mass that I hope to achieve what my weight will be. BUT...I am proud of how far I've come and am now going it without a trainer, so I'm starting here! Right now I am 195lbs, I'm 5'6".

you look great!! what have you been doing for exercise? I have lost around the same amount but don't see much change except for in my face. My Belly pretty much looks the same, worse actually cause now there is some loose skin.

Total inspiration. How often do you strength train?

Thanks everyone! It's been hard work! I strength train 4 days a week, and go to spin class twice a week. I lift heavy and focus on upper/lower splits. It's taking forever to get my legs slimmed down, thanks genetics!
