    Hi there,
    I've gone from 213 last April to 175 in January. Since then I plateaued until April and since then I am now back up to 180 lbs.
    Not sure what my main goal will be, as I'm focusing more on how I look and feel rather than the number on the scale. Aiming for 130-140ish lbs by Christmas (which is also summer where I live).

    Ill join your challenge i got about 50 to lose and im starting the insanity workout plus hitting the gym everyday this shall be an interesting challenge! :)

    Damn, I've heard insanity is just ridiculous. lol, my buddy is doing it and he absolutely dreads it... I'm not even gonna try, i couldn't get past the first day of p90x. The gym is just so much more familiar/comfortable to me. Good luck though! :)

    Thanks and Its not that bad just crazy cardio workout! lol ;) Anyways how did you lose 100 pounds that fast? I always feel uncomfortable at the gym cuz im "bigger" than all the people there and just think everyone is judging me which there not i dont think. lol Anyways you look good already! ;)

    You shouldn't get embarassed/uncomfortable! They are always the one at the gym I'm cheering on in my head, cos I know how hard it is.

    Sounds like a damn good day to me! I, like you, start out with a coffee and espresso shot, black. Then have a pre-workout protein shake. Same shake right after. Then for dinner I tend to stick with poultry of sorts, protein style. Hot sauce and cinnamon wherever I can. :) I do low/no carb.

    Low cal diets don't really effect me negatively. I actually feel quite good on them. That, and I have something in a couple weeks that I wanna look good for. So I'm goin hard right now. lol, this isn't permanent by any means. After that I'll probably bump it up to 1000-1200 cals a day.

    That's so great that you've lost so much weight! I want to lose 15-30 pounds. I'm going to change my diet, and I'm already exercising more. So you're on! haha. And don't feel bad about P90X - I didn't make it past the first day either -__-" I have to build up to that!

    I hear that! Way too much endurance and cardio in p90x for me... I'm a lifter all the way. :P

    Right, well you can have side effects without even knowing. Also, losing all your muscle is a good look? :huh: Plus, your metabolism will slow down so have fun with that.
    What's your BMR?

    This, I was eating 1200 cals and that wasn't even enough, I stopped losing weight. I found out my BMR and now I eat that. It works well for me :)
