i started in October 2014 at 250 lbs and over 40% body fat. It's now July and I'm at 177 and 26% body fat. 17 lbs from my final goal. I'm averaging 1.9 lbs which always seemed slow but this is so much easier than trendy crash diets. The loss is definitely more difficult now, but my drive is greater and I love working out, weight lifting, etc. good luck everyone on your journey!

    Amazing!!! I hope I can look like you one day :). I'm 51.5 pounds down but still look pretty bad. But I've got another 40 to go. I'm hoping that with 15 left I look as good.

    Well done you!!

    Well done!!! You look amazing - fit, toned, healthy, happy and yes, younger! Win, win, win, win, win!!!!! May I ask your age and height? You look like you may be quite tall. I started at 181lbs and am at 162lbs (I'm 5'5" and 42 years old) with still a long way to go. Seeing amazing transformations like yours really helps me to keep going. I'm particularly impressed with your new slim waistline and flat tummy!!! I carry a lot of weight on the tummy/torso and I'm frantically searching for my waist. I'll find it one day, I'm sure!

    Thanks guys. I am enjoying my last two weeks of being 29 (lol) and I am 6'00'. I began weight training in December. I lift heavy, legs twice a week and abs about every other day coupled usually with another muscle group.

    You are looking absolutely marvelous and so healthy. When I look at your after picture I wouldn't even imagine you had lost weight because your skin is so firm and smooth. Great job doing it the healthy way!
