From 260lbs to 176lbs in 4 years with breaks along the way. Around 40-50lbs to go! Until I saw these pictures side-by-side, it was hard to see and accept my progress..

I'll never give up Oreos, either. ;)

    Thanks a bunch! All I did was CICO and never cut anything out. I don't class foods as good or bad.

    Here's another 'before' photo with hubs. I was eating clean vegetarian for years.
    This is why I don't believe that eating clean without a deficit is great for weight loss.

    And here is me at around 220, when I resumed my weight loss over a year ago:

    The extent of my clean eating now is washing my food. :smiley: Okay, I do eat fruits, vegs and grains, but I have my treats, too.

    Great job! I have the same thought process as you when in comes to food. I'm strictly CICO and for once it's actually easy to stick to. You look amazing!

    Thank you. I find CICO to be less stress than all of those silly rules that complicate and create much confusion weight loss. As you can see, the whole healthy thing didn't work out. Don't get me wrong, I still eat nutritious foods, but I have my favourite snacks, too. I don't binge-starve anymore, nor do I obsess or stress about food all day. CICO is a much healthier mind-set for me.

    Thanks! CICO is calories in (food and drink), calories out (daily energy expenditure- the calories your body uses just by living and body functions, plus daily chores, movement and physical activity, or maintenance calories). Basically I eat fewer calories than my body needs to maintain at its current weight.
