Started changing my life on June 15th 2017. This is not a crash diet; this is definitely a lifestyle change. However I never removed a single food from my life. I still very much enjoy eating pizza and burgers and wings and all that jazz.
I still ate whatever I wanted; just less often. Tons of light meat chicken and protein shakes.
Gym for an hour a day. Cardio started as jog:walk intervals and slowly morphed into running.
Incorporated resistance training a month ago.
Now it’s 30min cardio 30min weights. Kettlebells are awesome.
Replaced sugary drinks with more protein shakes and water. If I wanted to splurge on something tasty I held myself accountable and earned it.
Didn’t cut out a single food group and learned to appreciate all foods. All food has a purpose, even candy.
257->187
15-25 pounds to go. See y’all on the flip side
Btw this definitely wasn’t easy.

Great job. Just don't expect the last 15 to come off as quick as the first 70.9

If I can’t lose 15 lbs in 5 months I’m doing something wrong. That weight will be gone in two months. See you then.

:huh:
What I mean is, a rate of loss of 0.5 to 1lb per week is the most you want to lose the last 15lbs so you aren't losing muscle.
When you had 85lbs to lose you could sustain a faster loss.
