Hey, everyone! My starting weight was a staggering 320 pounds, but I currently weigh 275! This journey started in August of 2015. I am willing to support anyone who thought it was impossible! I still have a long way to go, but I am happy to be where I am! Please feel free to add me.

P.S.
There were no magic tricks and no special diets. I ate within a a caloric deficit. Simple. I also have a logging streak of 265 so I log every single day.

Anyone feel free to add me that wants to, I will accept I am just too lazy to go through and friend request everyone

My highest weight ever was around 281. I'm down to 265 now and just taking it 10 lb goals at a time to not get overwhelmed. My next goal is 259, then 249 etc. 3 years ago I started at 249 and lost down to 209 but then gained it back and then some. Not this time! I was struggling with nutrition then and now have it under control.

Not sure about a final goal weight. I've always said 140-145 but we will see how I feel. There are a lot of factors there and it's about more than just a number.

Hello! I am currently at my highest weight of 185lbs, trying to get down to around 130-135 in the long run.
It would be great to meet members of the community in the same boat!

Hi!

What was key in your weight loss?

@OperationHotTamale hi!

1. I have started counting calories. I started just staying below 1800.
2. I try not to do a lot of prepackaged foods. I do love some beef jerky, so I cheat in that way. (as long as it is within my calories)
3. I have one day a week I allow myself to indulge in whatever I want, but only let it be THAT day. No carrying it over to the next day b/c I did bad. I used to have the mindset that if I did bad I might as well keep doing bad, b/c I've already screwed up.
4. I preplan my next day so I know what calories I have to use.
5. I eat everything I enjoy. If I want a steak, I eat a steak. If I want a baked potato, I eat a baked potato. This helps b/c I am not restricting myself and I don't feel deprived. I COUNT THE CALORIES.
6. I drink at least 75 oz of water, usually over 100 oz.
7. I was walking at least 10000 steps per day and just started the c25k a month ago. 2 weeks ago I sprained both of my knees and had to cut back and have only been getting about 5-6000 steps a day.
8. I'll add more if I think of things
