Hi vismal, I started in September 2014 I've lost 40.3 lbs by running and counting calories. I would still like to lose 30lbs to be on the high side of ' healthy' for my height. I'm 5'3 and 172 right now. I use the method TDEE, my calorie goal is 1750 but I normally eat between 1500-1650 calories a day. I run 4 times a week and strength train 2 times a week. I only started strength at the end of November. I noticed my losses slowed in December(4 lbs loss) and January(4.4lbs loss). I know the closer you get to your goal the slower it gets. My questions, is a lbs a week a good goal for having 30lbs to go? Should I lower my calorie intake to try and lose more weekly? Is there something else I should be doing to keep my losses going?? Thank you!0

I do but not on my computer. Not sure why you want to see pictures of my fat-face...lol?very nice, no saggy skin great, have you got any more clearer pictures of your face when you were 315lbs?
For your goal, a lb a week is a perfect rate of loss. You may even find that as you get within 5-10 lbs of your goal, you'll have to slow even further to 2-3 lbs a month.Hi vismal, I started in September 2014 I've lost 40.3 lbs by running and counting calories.

Thanks for the info and paying it forward like this. Very inspirational.
I saw you say that you ignore your exercise calories (use gross calories not net). I like that, but what would you use for your TDEE? The 'No Exercise' multiplier to BMR or '3x week' multiplier or what? Just curious.
Im 280 with 40 or so to lose, trying to get a good idea, I love the numbers aspect. I'm using the (BMR x 1.375) - 20% for my daily calorie goal.0 -
I just estimate my tdee. It doesn't matter if I'm right or even close because I'll adjust my calories based on my actual results. After doing that long enough you get a very good idea of your maintenance.Thanks for the info and paying it forward like this. Very inspirational.

Hi its a fantastic transformation ..I need to lose like 45 lbs.i d count my calories and have started working out .what do you think you piece of advise for me to get on the right track as I hardly see any weight loss0

Awesome job. Started watching your videos and I'm hooked on those as well.
I'm currently 208 looking to drop 20lbs or so. Mostly have a gut from a sedentary desk job. I'm 1 week into the C25K program. Ordered an Olympic bench and will be starting a 5x5 when it arrives. My question is should I change my calorie intake? MFP currently has me at 1850 to drop 1 lb/week.0 -
How much did you lose a week and at what caloric daily intake.0

Weight loss is all about a calorie deficit. The first thing you need to do is make sure you are counting correctly by weighing your food and not doing estimating or lots of free/cheat days. After that, if weight doesn't move, you simply reduce calories.induindhira wrote: »Hi its a fantastic transformation ..I need to lose like 45 lbs.i d count my calories and have started working out .what do you think you piece of advise for me to get on the right track as I hardly see any weight loss
I'd only change calories around if you felt there was a need too. If you are hungry all the time and not recovering well, you could up them a little, but if you are seeing results, then I wouldn't mess with anything.MikeDee_ny wrote: »Awesome job.

It varied a lot throughout the whole process. At this point I can comfortably lose 1 lb a week eating around 2500 calories.aviatorrie1 wrote: »How much did you lose a week and at what caloric daily intake.

Moisturize and exfoliate. It helps a little. The 2 biggest things that help with lose skin are lifting to preserve/gain lean mass, and time. My skin is almost completely recovered at this point. It is still not tight and probably never will be but the hang is virtually invisible unless I am in a push up position. So as long as I don't do push ups at the beach I'm good...lol
But you are correct, fit with loose skin looks and feels better then fat. It's also worlds healthier. With cloths on you can't notice at all!
LOL I know what you mean about the push up! One of the trainers at the gym made me do a plank as part of the sign up physical and I was straight but the skin was all hanging low. And that is when I decided planks were not for me. :-)
