I Posted some before and after pictures in this thread
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/59849-260lbs-to-153lbs-pictures
a few poeple have messaged me and asked me to make a thread with my story
from the start...i was going to wait and do it at my goal but i guess i will go ahead and do it now


starting weight was 259pounds size 20 or 22

so august 20th 2008 was when i got serious
i had been here on mfp since jan or feb under a differnt name
and had fun on the chats and message boards with "the gutter gang" lol
we would sit here and chat for what feels like hours and hours out of our day
i wasnt losing weight...i cheated everyday and would eat whatever i wanted
and tam (tamtastic) was just metling away thoes pounds
when she hit 50 something pounds down i was like omg what am i doing wrong???
tam is losing weight like crazy!!! and so were all the others but i really wanted to be like tam!
we had simiulair starting weights and goals and she totally inspired me
anyways life happened and i took a little maybe a loooong break from mfp
i was at 254 and by the time i came back i was 259
i came back for awhile and still wasnt as motivated and serious
but i started back here at mtp in early NOV and i was still over 200 pounds
i was close to 199 which was my original goal and i needed some help from MFP
so i came back

also at 199 is when i started hitting the gym like a manaic
1 hour of cardio and 1 hour of lifting weights 4-5 days a week and still eating 1200 clean calories and not eating exercise calories
i went from 199 jan 1st to 152 pounds today
i started in august at 1600 calories and slowly went down to 1200
i started eating mostly raw and clean (this took off SO much weight)
(fruits veggies nuts gronola and yogart and cheese and wheat crackers)
at around 190 pounds i started hydroxy cut and did that for 2-3 months and i hit 175


my gym routne was
stairmaster half hour
elliptical half hour
run a mile on the treadmill
bike for 10-15mins
lift weights
strech on the floor
200 crunchs on each side (right, left, front)
50 reverse crunchs
this was monday-friday
slowly i mived 3 days a week
and now im back up to 6days a week and also taking a fat burner called ADRENALEAN

my goals were
199
180
175
160
150
im trying to get to 125 because i am still very unhappy with my self

anyways im not too sure what else to include
but thats my story in short
when i reach my goal
ill post a full story



edit: i really was debating on sharing this or not but i feel like i need to be 100% honest and warn others not to become too obsessed

i was recently informed that i have "an eating disorder not otherwise specified"
but i think my routine and eating might be safe with balance
and that is something i lack

i wont go into deatil about my unhealthy habits but just wanted to be honest
