Hello everybody,
Thanks to the tremendous support on MFP and the amazing app that it is, I was able to drop 40 pounds from about May 13th to August 13th. I haven't been working out, I have just been counting calories and had the setting on "2lbs/wk". I have since changed it to 1 1/2 lbs per week because I didn't think I could drop down to 1390 calories a day since I was having a hard time staying at 1510.
I set an "unrealistic goal" of about 195...I'm glad that I can say now that I am around 195ish and am shooting for another 10-15lbs! I had reached 240 pounds (6 foot to 6'1" tall) in may and as you can see I had become quite "chubby" to put it nicely.
Not the best pics in the world to show weight loss, but I digress.
40lbs lighter...
Not excited about the neck folds in this one, but I really don't have a lot of fat on the neck (any more) so not sure why it hangs around. lol
Thanks everyone....
Oh, and if I can do it, ANYONE can do it.
