126 lbs gone, before & after pics.

I took this in stages, I had so much to lose and I was older so knew losing it in a year would mean costly skin removal surgery. I did lose 75 lbs fairly quick, then started adding weight lifting. I lifted heavy and increased my calories a lot. I actually would gain a bit then go back to losing. This went on for a year as I built up muscle that I never in my life had. I recently cut calories back to below 1800 a day which is easy for me now. I am surprised how I am able to continue to add strength even on a reduced calorie diet. I am never going to be bulked up muscle, I just had to transform my fat body into a leaner one. I have a ways to go but no doubt will hit my goals this year and excited to see how much better I can feel and perform.
Thanks for all the kind words. I will gladly share my information I learned. My calories ranged anywhere from 3200 a day to now around 1800. I am less hungry eating now than I have been in my entire life so changes are possible at any age.
