edited October 2024 in Success Stories
I started off at 198 and currently weight 155. I started my journey may of 2011 when I saw the first picture. I had no Idea how much weight I had gained after some disheartening news and a major knee injury/surgery (I was accepted into USMA @ West Point, and then medically disqualified). I had become depressed, lazy, and on top of that couldn't work out hardly at all for at least 6 months post surgery. After seeing this photo I realized I had to get my butt in gear and start getting serious about being healthy! I have eaten an average of 2000 cals/day and have tried to go for whole foods with minimal processing, along with HEAVY lifting and lots of cardio :) I am 5'7" verging on 5'8"

Here is my pictures!

After the first 20 lbs:

Now at 155:

I'm still not quite where I want to be body wise, but I plan on maintaining this weight and working more on lowering bf% :)
I love what MFP has provided for me!

    Wow! Well done. I'm too almost 5ft8". I weigh 216lbs and need to lose 50-60lbs if not more. I'm going on an girly holiday end of May (turning 40 soon!) that is where I'm focusing on; don't want to be fat at 40! Add me please, would love to know more about how you achieved your goals. You look great. x

    You can definitely do this! Remember short term goals and take things day by day, the entire goal seems far too daunting but if you move a step at a time it will happen before you know it !
