Yes, I have lost up to 60 pounds so far since January of this year by simply monitoring my calorie intake and Being mindful about when I eat as much is what I eat. I like many in this post have the mindset that I didn’t want to injure myself trying to work out before I got myself to a healthier weight. That will be step two in my journey to a healthier me, now that I have reached a healthier weight I will begin a fitness regime that I help me get into better shape and feel better. I started on January 2 of this year not as a New Year’s resolution I rather just realizing I had to make changes in my lifestyle. On January 2 I weigh 279 pounds as of yesterday I weighed 219.

    Congratulations
    Did you watch your carbs or any other macro. I know it sounds stupid but what would you credit your loss to. Share some details/pointer which you think mostly helped you to achieve this. I’m

    That is awesome! I would be interested in how you altered you diet to be that successful. I know you are not supposed to lose weight for a specific event but I have something in late August that I’d love to lose weight for (and continue afterwards of course). Will you share your calories or what you cut/included to aid you in your AMAZING progress?

    That's great! Congrats on your progress! Having that switch flipped in your head that you need to change yourself is the key to success IMO. For me, it switched on Feb 14 this year(the day I convinced most of my family to do this with me). I'm down 53 lbs since then and have tremendous momentum. I still have 154 to go till goal however. My luck is down 24 and my sister is at 22. Were all doing great!

    Congrats again and hope your amazing progress continues!
