I started last July. Starting weight of 286 lbs size 40 pants. Almost in to 42’s. 345 days later down to 200.2 lbs and size 36 pants. (And they’re a little loose). I have lost over 30% of my body weight. I had hit a plateau at a loss of 65 lbs 2 months ago. A friend told me about MyFitnessPal. Down 21 lbs more. But I am starting to have a hard time getting under the big 200. Still working hard.5hns2ia1ydfp.jpeg

    You have done great! When you get to the end, the last bits of fluff take the longest. Nose to the grindstone :)

    tylenzer1258 there was no special diets or gimmicks. Portion control and exercise. I walked 20 minutes a day at lunch at work and did the elliptical 30 minutes a night 7 days a week. I still had pizza, burgers and donuts. Just not as much. I want to be realistic and still eat what I like. My wife has done the same thing and has lost almost 90 lbs with only working out once a day 5 days. MyFitnessPal has helped me a lot. Motivation and support. Thank you
