    I'm on a path to lose 200+ pounds. I've lost 108 so far. I started mid-August of 2016.

    What did you do to shed 108lbs in roughly 2 months? Or was the year a typo? I worked my butt off for 34 in 2 months lol.

    OH MY GOODNESS! That was totally a typo! I started LAST year, 2015. Frankly, I've been in a plateau for the last month-ish. Granted I changed my workout routine (added weights) and I expected a little slow down as a result, but I'm frustrated with the stagnant scale. Hopefully I'll have a breakthrough and start losing again soon. Meanwhile, I'm happy I'm not gaining. I'm also thrilled that my body can do more than I thought it could do (push-up anyone? survive a cardio-strength class? YES! and YES!) Eyes on the prize.

    Also find a time to exercise and keep it consistent, my time is at 5:30 am. Nothing else gets in the way. On the weekends it is 8am. [/quote]

    I could never keep a set time to exercise each day. I do have a weekly goal for exercise, and that works for me. I also enjoy the freedom to change what I do for exercise from day to day. It keeps it interesting and helps it not feel like such a slog.

    I am on a 100+ lb journey. I started at 249 and am down to 168. My goal is 135. It has taken me over 14 months. I feel great. In looking back, I would say to set small goals, like first 10%. That is what motivated me more than anything.Also reassess your goals every 3 months. Don't set to unrealstic of long term goal like I need to do this in 1 year. When I came up on 1 year and I hadn't made 100 lbs It made me feel terrible. So now I set goals for every 6 weeks.

    Also find a time to exercise and keep it consistent, my time is at 5:30 am. Nothing else gets in the way. On the weekends it is 8am.

    Do you adhere to any specific diet — or just follow the basic calorie guidelines? Do you eat your exercise calories? What exercise do you do at 5:30?

    Any insights really appreciated!

    I wasn't on a goal to lose 100 lbs.... but I lost 75 lbs last year in just under 6 months and I've managed to maintain that the past year. Now want to lose the next 15-25. It is not easy especially when you have health issues that prevent exercising, but I strongly believe diet is the key to 90% of weight loss.

    While it probably goes against everything that most people do, I managed that loss through eating vegan, not drinking and slowly working in exercise in the pool. I find it so much easier to keep a caloric deficit when not eating meat and dairy products.

    Good luck in your journey.
