Before at 228 lbs...https://imgur.com/a/ZsMIa

After at 174, taken a few days ago. ..https://imgur.com/a/sOIhT

I've stuck with counting calories and moderate exercise since late August 2016 and it's worked wonders for me. I've also went from a size 16/18 in pants to a size 10! I still have 20 more lbs to go but I wanted to share my progress with all of you, and prove that you CAN lose weight after 40!!

    Way to go, you look amazing! Did you pay attention to macros or just calories, and how many calories a day? Great job!

    Thanks! I didn't pay much attention to macros. I just counted calories, eating an average of 1200 - 1400 calories a day. I nirmally eat back about 2/3 of my exercise calories .
