Thanks everyone for the kind words. It's definitely been a struggle at times.0

So in other words, as long as you eat at least 1200 or more a day, you can exercise as much as you want without starving yourself? This is what confuses me. I've heard a lot of people on here talk about how unhealthy it is to do that, but want your body start burning off your fat before you starve to death? Am I making sense, or just talking jibberish? I'm desperate at this moment. I want to lose at least 5pds a week, not a measing 1 or 2pds. I'm 5'3 and weight 192lbs.0

that's like 4 pds a week. That is what I want to do. I hear all over this board that it is not good to lose that much per week. Is this just a myth. Congrats!0

Well I can't speak for other people or what you should do. I just know what worked for me and how I stay motivated.
Good luck!0 -

Excellent progress. Keep it up! Two questions, if I may:techguymike7801 wrote: »thin1dayplease wrote: »Amazing transformation. As another posters asked, I am also curious to know how many calories a day have you been eating? Have you ate back your exercise cals?
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!
1) Has your rate of weight loss slowed over time or are you still losing about the same amount every month?
2) Going to the gym twice a day, every day? Or do you take rest days to let your body rebuild? Ever any issues with chronic fatigue or overtraining?

1. Some weeks are better than others. Some weeks I'll lose 5-7 pounds, other weeks I'll only lose 1 or 2. Last week I lost 8 and I'm on track to lose only about 1 or 2 this week.
2. No rest days. I'm talking 7 days a week, 31 days a month. The last time I didn't work out was in January while I was in Vegas. But I was doing so much walking there I didn't feel the need.0 -
Thanks for the reponses. What about month-to-month? Have you pretty much continued to lose about the same amount of weight each month or has this begun to slow down?techguymike7801 wrote: »

Do you get plenty of sleep with such an arduous 2x/day work-out schedule? Do you increase the intensity/weight/resistance/time of your work-outs over time or has that remained relatively constant? Any issues with chronic fatigue or over training?
You have done an outstanding job and can rightly be very proud of your hard work and incredible success!

This is pretty much what I do, too. I mean I don't go off the rails or anything, and I still pay attention, but I do loosen up a little.0 -
Holy smokes, that is an insane loss in 6 months! I hope this was done in a healthy way. Congratulations!0
