I’m 5’ 6”. I was 212 lb in May 2018 and I am 155 lb today.

Congratulations!! What a fantastic transformation!

Can you give some details about how you accomplished this? Looks like you work out. At what point did you start lifting/working out and what do you do?

Just wonderful.

So, I’m 54. I started my journey on 27 May 2018. I eat around 1800 calories a day aiming to eat at least 100g protein and no more than 125g carbs per day. I don’t worry too much about fat. I am consistent in my eating and have found 3 meals, 2 hot milk drinks and 1 150 calorie snack per day is sustainable.

Initially I trained 2 times per week with a gentle weight and aerobics type program. As I got fitter, I added in 3 days per week cycle training. I use Zwift and a turbo trainer twice per week and ride on the road once a week. Then in December I added 2 sessions per week of heavy lifting- deadlifts, squats, lunges and chest presses. My lighter weights/aerobic sessions have adapted as I’ve become fitter and have a greater focus on HIIT and body weight exercises, Boxing, skipping, battle ropes and assisted (band) pull ups. I do a Parkrun on a Saturday and have improved my 5k run time by 6 minutes in 9 weeks! Now I train 6 days per week, twice a day on 3 of those days.

In recent weeks I started feel tired and my recovery slowed. My weight training coach has recommended I get some new nutrition advice as it is likely my diet is insufficient for full recovery.

I had a Dexa scan in October 2018 and again 4 weeks ago. I lost 9.9kg of fat between the scans and gained 1.6kg of muscle. 5kg of fat loss came from my trunk.

158 pounds to 135 so far. Took about 11 weeks. I'm 5'6".

You look so fit! What kind of workouts do you do?

Is this about me? If so, I work out 6 days a week, 25 minutes running/20 minutes walking fast on an incline/ 30 minutes strength training (strength only on 5 of the 6 days. 2 days upper body using machines and some freeweights, 2 days lower body using a lot of standard machines, and one day just core). Basically I just used whatever machines I could understand how to use at first! Lol.

Massive congratulations on the weight loss!!

Definitely get some smaller underwear. It was the only I kept buying on my way down. Just got those cotton packs for 5 in each size. However, now I am at the size I want I may have brought some new ones that makes me feel pretty sexy!! I would recommend! 😂😂
