So far I've lost 100 pounds in a little over 6 months by dedicating myself to the gym as well as other physically active activities and by eating at a calorie deficit.
I'm not sure what my ultimate goal weight is. I'd like to try and get below 200.
Also, I'm 6'3 in case anybody was wondering.
The before pic is a bit older, but I was the same weight when I started back in September.

Good job. I'm just about matching that pace. 20 pounds in 5 weeks. First ten pounds before I started using the app. Any tips? GO HAWKS!!!0

Where's the big smile in the right-hand pics? : )
Great job!
Just by Googling, I can see there are a lot of different height/weight ratio charts out there, but I'm sure your doctor would be a better source for a realistic goal anyway. Stay healthy & happy!0 -

I have the same questions as this lady. Please share your strategy. Even if your method is not perfect for everyone, it obviously worked for you!

I'm not sure of the exact amount of calories I've eaten. I didn't want to dwell on every calorie I ate. I'm guessing somewhere between 1500-2000. Each day was different. I racked for a little while just to get a better understanding of how many calories I could eat and still be ok.
The biggest thing for me though is that I go to the gym twice a day. Once in the morning before work and once in the evening. I pretty much just do cardio in the morning and then cardio/weights in the evening.
Also, I have my official weigh-ins every Friday morning and let myself eat a little more on the weekends so as not to feel guilty about going out once in a while or going to a birthday party etc...
Hopefully that answers your questions!0 -

For a lot of people all it takes is small changes to their lifestyle to make huge impacts. My mom had always been 20-30 pounds off her goal weight for years, yo-yo dieting, she would make changes but never be consistent and never exercised. Finally I got her to do the couch-to-5k program and now she and my dad both run 3 miles a few times a week, and it helped her lose that last 25 pounds so fast! I'm glad changing up your routine a bit has helped you so much too.techguymike7801 wrote: »thin1dayplease wrote: »Amazing transformation.

People keep asking me why I didn't smile in the "After" photo. I was just trying to recreate the "before" photo and trust me, I was NOT happy in it
