    Congratulations for turning your health around. I'm surprised, from your photo, that you say you still have weight to lose. What is your goal body fat or BMI like?

    I find it hard to believe that much weight in 6.5 months. That is not healthy and no Dr. or dietician would ever recommend it. I am not saying you did not do it..simply find it incredibly hard to believe. That is almost 30 pounds a month , every month. And 100 pounds in 100 days is crazy. I can understand dropping 20-30 pounds the 1st month..maybe even the 2nd month..but it gets harder after that to consistently lose 30 pounds a month? Just saying...175 pounds lost would be incredible in 1 year.

    Hi. I actually don't hit 7 months until 3 more days. I'm at 180 pounds lost now. I was very obese. I am only 5'7. My ideal weight should be about 160. When I started eating the right amount of calories and moving. Walked ng mostly. My weight came off fast. 100 pounds off on day 100. Then I'm staying around 20-25 pounds a month. If you do enough moving and have enough dificent you will see results as I am having. If you watch the shows with the trainers helping people with excess weight loss because if morbid obesity you will see it happens all the time. I put the work in and I have seen the results. Here is me 7 months ago and me today actually. kum4id7oq5yt.jpeg

    He looks much healthier than he did prior to the weight loss. To me the benchmark for 'is this healthy or not' is the activity level. He was walking more and more - if it was not healthy - he would not be able to keep up the exercise. I would be willing to bet that fastpitch's blood tests would also be vastly improved - a lot of money on that one.

    I just started and my first weigh-in with myself showed a 3.4 lb. loss. So I am very motivated to keep going.

    6.5 months = 27 weeks.

    175 pounds * 3500 = 612,500

    612,500 / 27 = 22,685 calorie deficit per week or 3,240 deficit per day.
    So, the first few months it looks like your TDEE was around 4,900. So the weight drop in the beginning makes sense.

    But what about after that? For example, when you lost a little weight...

    TDEE for a 5'7 male, weighing 350 pounds and "active" (sports 4 to 5 days per week) is 4,271 average.

    4271 - 3240 = 1,031 calories per day.

    Were you eating 1,031 calories per day? Or is my math wrong? I'm just trying to figure out how you accomplished this calories wise.

    Congratulations on your success. I hope I can be half as successful!
