38 Pounds Gone, 30 More to Go!

I hope these codes work! I started at the beginning of January weighing 267 at 5'9". Even though I'm fairly tall, that is far too much weight to be healthy. This morning I was 228- I know I have more to go but I thought I would share for anyone who might need some inspiration! I've done it with 5x a week in the gym doing 45-60 minutes of sweat dripping cardio followed by weights (upper body one day, lower the next), and crunches along with using MFP to make sure I'm not eating too much or too little calories. I prefer to use more of a calorie zig zagging method and it seems to be doing the trick! Best of luck to everyone, you can do this!

Start GAHHHHH!

    Congrats on your weight loss! You look amazing.... I work out at the YMCA 4 - 5 days per week mostly doing Cardio Classes. What type of Cardio are you doing? and how often do you participate in strength training? I was recently doing WW, lost 10lbs counting points and doing detox, but decided to save my money and come back to MFP.

    Fantastic!!!

    And yes.... you look about 50lbs lighter than you weigh, you look brilliant! That's the blessing of being tall, lol.

    My goal is 180 at 6'1" but if look as good as you at 228 then maybe I'll reassess my goal :o)

    Thank you! For the first couple months I did the elliptical and worked up to a high resistance. Then about a month ago, I started using a machine called the Precor 100i Adaptive Motion Trainer. It's sort of like an elliptical, but you can also use it in a stair stepper motion and it feels like you're working out in sand. There are videos of it in action on youtube. It's a killer workout and I actually gained a couple pounds the first week I used it, I think because of the leg muscle workout that it gives. Now I still do the elliptical some days if there isn't a 100i open when I get to the gym. My gym only has 4 of them.
