Damn hormones, reading this thread and bawling my eyes out!
Mine is about halfway through. I currently eat 1600 calories, but have a number of very smart people trying to talk me into eating more. It's hella scary but I think I might need to take the plunge.

CONGRATS TO ALL THAT POSTED SO FAR!!!
I will post mine tomorrow!!
As for the excess skin question...depends on multiple things: your genetics, how overweight you are(were), how long you have been overweight, and where you carry your extra weight. I have lost over 100lbs and am now 120lbs, yet will never be able to wear a bikini But you're right...it could be WAY worse!!0 -

amazing job everyone!!0 -
Like most everyone, I started here at 1200 because I wanted the weight GONE as soon as possible. That lasted for about a month before I realized that wasn't a good game plan. For the majority of my weight loss, I ate between 1350-1500 plus exercise calories, so typically between 1800-2000 total calories a day. For exercise, I run and strength train. I recently had to increase my calories to over 1800 net because I was still losing on maintenance!
But what I find more amazing is that last time I tried to lose weight, and ate under 1000 calories a day, I looked a LOT different at my "goal weight."
fantastic pics a real inspiration you look fanastic especially after the weights, you look great here!0 -
I could really use seeing some before and afters of people who DID NOT lose the weight by starving themselves or eating below their BMR. Guys or girls or other- doesn't matter.
I know I'm doing the right thing by fueling myself, just having a rough week and could use the inspiration. Perhaps having a dedicated 'no starvation' thread would help others to find it too. I did a search but didn't find a thread where the before/afters were of people exclusively eating above BMR. If there is one- please link me to it. I'll take all the inspiration I can get.
No offense if you lost weight by severely restricting your cal intake- but that's not the way I want to go and seeing as I'm looking for inspiration for me (and others who don't want to do VLCD's)- those stories simply won't be helpful.
Anyone got some pics?
My progress is all eating above BMR. Check out my pics.0 -
Wow, great results. Congratulations and many thanks to all of you for motivation!.0

Still work in progress, but 87lbs down and I rarely eat less than 1300 net (I usually go over a touch) and I *always* eat back any exercise cals
Really need to get toning now though...... other pics in this thread have totally inspired me!
