hey all i haven't posted in a while so as the title states I've now lost 123 pounds in a little over a year. Im not done yet but I'm in a great groove at this point so I know i will succeed. I probably have 50 pounds or so left but as I go I reevaluate my goals. I started over 350 pounds a day currently sit at 228 I'm 5'7 so still a bit heavy for my height but overall feeling great and looking forward to seeing what year two brings.

Good for you!!! Looks like you have a young child - your endeavors will allow you to do so many more activities and sports with him; and, watch him graduate, get married and maybe one day bless you with Grandchildren. Keep focused and working on your goals. You've got this!1

When i started i was prediabetic with stage 2 hypertension so I began keto and used that for about 5 months. After that point everything was in check and since I started hitting the weights I started to add back in carbs. I eat pretty much everything at this point but I still avoid sugar for the most part and occasionally cut carbs and switch eating styles depending on mood. I never eat back the exercise calories the app says you can have because when i would the scale wouldn't move. Be patient and consistent even if you have a slip up brush it off and get back after it.0 -

its a good place to be compared to the starting point and the little things people can do movement wise become a big deal when you can do them lol. Keep it up and feel free to add me.0 -

I needed to see results of someone similar size that transformed in a year. I started on May 20th at 382lbs now 294. I started off losing weight very fast and have slowed down and sometimes get discouraged but I have to realize I've only started less than 5 months ago and if I keep at it in a year I should be pretty close to where I want to be. My goal weight is 225lbs im 5'10. I'd be stoked to get down to 240lb and then build muscle too.2
