    Awesome accomplishment!

    It is an amazing commitment!

    Jealousy is the motivating force of negative comments. Looks like you are handling them well.

    Best wishes and continued success to you! Well done!

    I was saying what a 2900 deficit would look like for someone not morbidly obese. It was for those reading this who think that that sort of deficit is realistic for everyone when it isn't. It wasn't against you at all.
    Thank you. I understand now. It's becoming very slow now. Once my weight has become much lower I have to do more cardio to move the scale. I had a 12 day standstill. The first 3 months goes great then it slows up. And yes. There's work to it. And eating very clean. Very very clean!

    Sorry I sounded snarky. It's just my nature lol. Your progress is outstanding. Don't let the slowdown discourage you. It's just the nature of the game. Have you tried strength training yet?

    My wife has lost 65 pounds with me. Much different for ladies and much different for someone who wasn't in the morbid obese area!

    That's still awesome! Yes weight loss and muscle gain are both more difficult for women!

    I did first 3 months. Then went all cardio. I understand. It's hard to determine someone's comment on this you know. Lol

    wow. if my math is right...you sustained a 2900 calorie deficit per day for 8 straight months

    God bless the gym! 3 hours on a treadmill for 110 bpm is about 1750 calories burned at about a weight of 240. So yeah...I can totally see it :).

    Because you lost so much so fast, do you have loose skin? Or did all the gym work take care of it?

    Lots of commitment. High protein. Low carb. And lots of cardio. Work you butt off!

    how much carb do you take in a day? do you cut off sugar entirely? I was just asking coz sweet is my weakness.

    No added sugar. Only if it's natural in fruit.

    gotcha, had to ask(have clarified) because some people think you have to cut fruits out when cutting sugar.

    Biggest thing is staying focused. Keep your mind set on the finish line. It will come!
