    How long did it take you? Do you have more to lose? Are you maintaining easily? Did your journey teach you healthy habits that now can carry you through without having to worry about falling into weight gain again? Is it everything you dreamed it would be? lol I have lost 20 and have 30 left to go. I cannot wait to be where you are but am trying to go slow and healthy instead of quick. I want to learn healthy, livable habits along the way.

    Do you wear clothes you use to avoid/ do still 'feel' like you are fat even though your eyes can tell you otherwise?

    Oddly that is my biggest concern is being 'thin' to everyone else and still feeling like a whale.

    I can completely relate to this feeling. I previously went from 270lbs and a size 28 to 125lbs and a size 4/6 and I still looked in the mirror and felt fat. Other people were telling me I looked sick (especially on my top half) but I for the most part saw myself the same. The mind is a powerful force. Now in retrospect and after gaining a little less than half of the weight back and struggling to lose it again I can see how thin I was at that time but not then. It's hard for me to see myself accurately in comparison to others.

    Did you start and stop several times or was it just like one day you decided to do it and did it?

    If you started over many times, how did you stick with it the final time?

    Hi,

    1. Did you count calories? Did you limit your carbs?

    2. Did you exercise while losing weight? If so what exercises helped you the most??

    Sorry everyone, I got caught up with something

    Hi,

    1. Did you count calories? Did you limit your carbs?

    2. Did you exercise while losing weight? If so what exercises helped you the most??
    Yup, I obsessively counted calories every day
    I'm doing SL 5x5, it helps losing weight and gave me a decent amount of muscle

    @hedean
    One day I just decided to do it

    I have about 9 pounds to lose, from there on I'll judge my BF%

    @sw106
    It's taken me since March 23rd, so a little under 6 months
    I'm not maintaining just yet

    What came first...the chicken or the egg?
    if you believe in evolution its the egg. if you dont its still the egg cause god wanted some toast on the 6th day and obv you cant have toast without an egg to go with it so he created eggs. the chicken wasnt made until later that day around dinner time
