6 months ago I started my journey here on MFP at 194 pounds. It's been a rough ride, but so worth it! I thought I'd share another progress pic.

As of today I'm down to 159 pounds, thanks to heavy lifting and clean food! (Food in general noms!!) I've seen so many people complain "it doesn't work" and eat waaaay under, please ladies! I've lost weight eating 1800cal+!! It is doable, believe me! :wink: :drinker:

    Excellent work! Now that you're closer to your goal, do you think you'll still eat 1800 calories?

    Great job. I just raised my calorie intake a little while ago and have been worried about it. I hope I have the same success as you.

    You look great -- way to go! I love the sense of accomplishment that comes with lifting weights, AND the ability to eat more calories, I'm totally with you on that! Congratulations on your achievement!

    Oh....my.....goodness.... You look beyond awesome. I know you must be so proud of yourself. Besides eating 1800 calories a day, what did you do?

    Lots of strength training! I'm about to start crossfit, I woulda done this way earlier but I was scared to attend a class before. :frown: I've been doing similar stuff at my gym though.

    When I first started to lose weight I did more cardio, some running, elliptical. But I pretty much stopped doing that, cept to warm up before lifting and maybe once a week when I'm bored. :laugh:

    The closer I get to my goal the more I'm gonna eat. I plan to slowly up my calories to ~2400ish, not sure yet we will see where my maintenance is when I'm done. :devil:
