    I have been focusing mostly on my eating and keeping my macros in check. I try to eat about 50% carbs 40% protein and only about 10% fat. I am planning on starting the couch to 5k soon though! :)

    It has taken me well over a year. I went through periods of being really good, losing weight, and then just giving up on myself and I would gain a bunch back. I felt like I had such a far way to go that it was impossible. I have had to work on my mind set more than anything else through this journey so far. Even though it has taken me longer than I would have liked I am happy to finally see results and I am sticking with it until the end this time around.

    Great job! Our stats are similar so thanks for the pics, it's something I can kinda gauge myself by. I am 1 lb away from 50 lb loss but I started in the 270's. I've got 27 lbs to onederland and now I have a better idea of how that is gonna look. Not bad, Not bad!

    Looking great! I started at similar stats, though a little shorter, and I have about the same goal so I feel you there! One thing I always like in these progress pics is how much better everyone's posture always is :smile:

    And as for the rest, you can do it!
