GLBROCKS Progress from the Beginning

Posts: 37
Hello all. I used to be considered obese when I first started losing weight. I had problems with insulin sensitivity (Nearly Type II Diabetic). I also was on track for early development of heart disease according to my blood tests. I will list below my stats in a moment. Just to give you some encouragement and advice, when I was ridiculously heavy I was not motivated to go to the gym and exercise, lift weights and felt like I deserved what I wanted to eat. Yes, that meant I ate over 7,000 calories per day, but I didn't care. I was suffering from depression and low motivation. Back in High School (2004-2008) I hovered around 205 to 210 lbs and was pretty fit and muscular. Now I am not a weight loss expert nor do I claim to be. I am just a person who has gone through trial and error to see what works for me and have proved that weight loss is a long term endeavor and should be treated as such. Now for some stats and progress reports.
Weight history:
September 10, 2009 - 300 lbs
January 10, 2014 - 239 lbs
February 23, 2014 - 230 lbs
March 7, 2014 - 226 lbs
March 14, 2014 - 222 lbs
March 21, 2014 - 218.5 lbs
March 28, 2014 - 216 lbs
April 3, 2014 - 212 lbs
Loss per week estimated: 3 lbs

Starting weight at beginning of weight loss: 300 lbs
Team20 Start Weight: 213.5 lbs
Current weight: 212 lbs
Goal Weight for Challenge: 193.5 lbs
Realistic goal for me by June 30: My real goal weight of 190 lbs
Total loss on Team20 so far: 1.5 lbs
Overall loss to date from start: 88 lbs
Level of confidence: really high
Activity Level: average to above average
Diet: Best it has ever been!
Average calories consumed during non workout days: 1,200 - 1,350
Calories consumed on workout days: 1,400 - 2,000
Good luck everyone. If I could get rid of all of that weight you can too. Patience and dedication are really important. Don't sweat the small stuff just focus and be prepared for obstacles.
