I just wanted to let everyone know thank you for your support. I wish that I was tracking my progress on here from the very beginning, because today was my weigh day and I have finally gotten under 200. I started 4 months ago and I started at 270lbs, now after 4 months of pushing myself to workout and to eat well I have made it down to 199lbs. I couldn't be happier, I have lost 71lbs and I feel amazing :happy: . I am now 49lbs away from my goal and I have another month to wait until my next weigh day ( I am debating weighing myself on Xmas eve ) just to make sure I stay on the right track over the holidays, does anyone have any thoughts on that? Well thank you all for your help and everyone keep up the good work :wink:

    Wow!! 71lbs in 4 months? That is incredible. I started August 4th at 230, and I'm 190. I thought 40lbs was awesome---but 71 kicks butt! How many calories a day do you typically eat? How often do you workout?

    Thank you, I think I usually eat about 1500 calories a day, and I work out monday to friday between 35mins to 130mins, depending how tired I am in the morning lol. 40lbs is amazing, your doing awesome.
