    Keep going. I am 6ft as well and I was 300 lbs in Oct last year. I am 216 lbs as of today and I feel a million times better. Whatever you are going through, it will be worth it. Infact, you will already start feeling incredible around the 250s[/quote

    Thanks, even with what I have done so far I can feel it getting better. Did 17500 steps so far today maybe I will get to 18000. Have not hit these kind of numbers since 2017! Boy it makes me feel good to be able to move again. AT 306 I just wanted to sit around and do nothing just no real motivation at all.


    Great job with what you have been able to accomplish I' sure your happier now and feel 100 times better.

    I weigh myself every day as well. I also used walking as my main exercise regimen to lose my excess weight. You're doing fantastic, just keep with the program! (OH, and I also agree with NOT calling it a cheat day. Why in the world would you want to cheat yourself? It's just a special treat day! 😉😊)

    I weigh myself everyday day too! My wife thinks that it’s obsessive for me to do so, but I tell her that I need to know where I am at & that it works for me!
    Even if I gain, at least I know where I am at then & try to do better each day!

    I agree do what feels right for your needs

    How are you doing?
  • Why has nobody noticed that he is undereating and losing 4-8 pounds/week without medical supervision? OP, this doesn't look good to me...

    Did you see that a doctor is involved? And I'm doing this the right way?

    Hang in there. I see you are having a bit of a plateau. I just got off one. Frustrating, but when those numbers start going down again it's wonderful. Keep up the good hard work. Wishing you success on your lifestyle journey.

    I think/hope that the plateau was planned, as that is already nearly 10lbs down in a month.

    Yes I'm trying to maintain for a little a little while. But my doctor is not worried about the rate of loss at this point.
