    What was the fuel for your rocket?

    You look fantastic!

    Thank you!

    The biggest fuel was that I hated like HATED feeling tired whenever I tried to do anything. Getting out of bed, going upstairs, be a teacher to my students, I mean anything. And I also had gone through a health scare with my liver and I said, okay this is it, time for change. And here I am :smiley:

    This is a very good explanation but I wanted a literal answer. In the before photo it looks like you are building a rocket. What was the fuel?

    isn't that a water bottle?

    This is phenomenal. I am in a 6-week weight loss challenge at my gym (which is also my place of employment). I started at 219 and am down to 213 in one week. I think the calorie deficit thing makes sense to me. I did have a nice weekend with my husband and went to two restaurants where I made very specific food choices and diligently logged them. I was surprised how full I felt. Anyway your story gives me a lot of hope!

    Getting started is almost the hardest part. Seeing results is inspirational! I am a physicist so seeing rockets makes me happy. Nice job.

    Amazing! I am halfway there starting at 205, currently at 178 and aiming for 160 - thank you so much for sharing because it is really motivating to see the physical change on someone about the same size as me!

    You look great! I am about 205 right now and that is my goal - 160-165. What was the timeline for this change?

    Thank you! It took about 6-7 months for me to loose that amount. But I had a combination of many factors, weight training, cal deficit about 1,400 cal. I also get a lot of steps in because I coach track and basketball at my school. I’m 5”7 I guess how long it takes you depends on your height, activity level, and most importantly cal deficit.
    Good luck !!
