    Thank you for the inspiration! I get discouraged sometimes because my WL journey has been so slow but it's stories like yours that help me to keep going. I'm older and I guess I've changed as I've aged. The weight used to come right off but now it's like at a snail's pace. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your story. It's very motivating. God bless!

    you lost almost 15 lbs per month - or 3-4 lbs a week, which is really fast. You look wonderful and very healthy but this website doesn't recommend losing more than 2 lbs a week. How did you manage to take this off so fast? What was your daily caloric intake and what was your work out routine like?

    I take 2 steps forward and 10 steps back, keep trying. It is hard. Need to get back on track. I have only managed 20 lbs over 5 months.

    In the beginning the weight came off MUCH more quickly, where the closer I got to my goal weight it slowed down, I am actually set to lose 1.6 lbs a week according to my cal intake. I eat anywhere from 1300-1800 cals a day depending on exercise. I tend to zigzag my cals a bit, as well as change up my workouts quite frequently to avoid plateauing. I think everyone's body is different and they will lose at different rates. There is NOTHING wrong with losing at a slower pace- easier to maintain and it IS the recommended way to go. CONGRATS on 20lbs lost!!! :smile:

    That is amazing! :flowerforyou:
    What kind of exercise are you doing? I've been going for 142 day now and am only 21lb down. I realise its meant to be 'better' to loose it slower but if you've done it all through hard work, which it seems like you have, I'd love more 'tips' of what you've found works.

    Is drinking lots of water really important?
    Did you stick to the macros or just calories?
    Did you eat back exercise calories?
    Anything else you can share!

    I know everyone varies but be great to hear more :smile: x
