I'm a little past this photo now, but I've lost 108 pounds so far (in the last two years) and would like to aim for 140-160 total. I'm 5'11 and have never been a healthy weight at this height, so I'm aiming for the top of the usual weight range, and will reevaluate from there.

Gem... amazing. We are the same height and have had almost exactly the same loss and to go. Would love to be friends and encourage each other on rest of our journeys2

I've lost 100. I started on weight watchers in 2010. I joined MFP in 2012. My high weight was 304. My current weight is 203. I've been as low as 193 but was looking really skinny fat and had stalled my metabolism.
There has been a ton of yoyoing. I struggled with binge eat really bad. I got professional help and started attending a support group in early 2015 and have not binged since.
Right now I'm focusing on strength training and trying to gain muscle while recomping. I'm getting stronger and my body is changing. It's a slow process but I know I will get there. There is no final destination. I want to keep growing and change my goals every now and then. My ultimate goal is to be fit with an athletic BF percentage.
I finally decided to quit running high deficits and trying to cut. I would just hit a wall every time but I noticed when I would stop tracking I wouldnt go way off track. I sort of intuitively knew how to eat right and enjoy things here and there even without tracking.
Right now I'm basically eating the typical bro diet with a couple of nice refeed meals a week. I weigh and track everything. I shoot for an overall small weekly deficit. I eat about 2600 most days but will occasionally do 2900 or even do a small surplus and go to 3200. I'm maintaining scale weight while looking way more toned and I'm getting to eat so much food!
When I feel like I need a break I just eat at maintenance for a few days without guilt. It's been very challenging but it has totally changed my life. I've always been the shy intellectual type. When I look in the mirror at the gym while I'm lifting I don't even recognize myself. People often don't recognize me if they haven't seen me since my transformation.
It's like a totally different dude is living my life. Everything is better. Depression, sleep apnea, pre diabetes, chronic sinus infections. It's all gone.
I'm a better husband, lover, dad, and friend. I have a deep faith and healthy self image today. It's so much more than just weighing some food and working out. It will literally give you a new shot at life.
So do it!
Lots of inspiration in this thread.
Good job and good luck to everyone!18 -

HW333, CW161, GW110 I'm 5'1 so 161 still makes me obese lol still some ways to go but I feel pretty damn good, with the exception of the excessive amount of extra skin. Oh and I just had a baby 2 months ago, my 3rd.
