Hey, I've lost 72lbs in the past 7 months. Whatever I'm doing is working...my belief in starvation mode or not :)

I havent done too much research on what "they" say about starvation mode. But FOR ME, I notice that if I dont eat enough, I dont lose. I dont GAIN, but I dont lose. That for ME though. And by "not enough" I mean going pretty far below my calorie goal.

Awesome! I've lost 72lbs since January and its an awesome feeling! Congratulations!

HA! You sir, win the internet today

Here is an updated one Size 18/20 to size 12 in 7 months!

I just hit my 70lb mark! I started in January at 253 Today I am 183 I am 31, 5'8

I'm 5'8, 31yrs old Started at 253 in January I am now 183!

69.5lbs down!

.

What kind of program do you follow? What is your routine? I've lost nearly 70lbs with cardio and SOME free weights. Now I'm wanting to incorporate more weights but don't really know where to begin!

Ben, dont sweat the haters. You've done amazing and I'm glad you shared your success! I've lost 68 in the past 7 months and I'm being told I'm losing it too fast to be healthy, blah blah. You have to do what works for you!! Bravo, sir!

I started in January, wearing an 18/20 and I'm just getting into 12's. I'm 68lbs down! (253-185) I logged everything, gave up soda, I drink tons of water, and workout 30min/5 days per week.

I'm 5'8" I started in January: SW: 253 CW: 186 GW: 165

Started in January at 253. Down 67lbs! Now at 185. Goal weight is 165-170 I am 5'8"

I am similar to you! I was 253 at the beginning of the year and in the past 7 months I've gotten down to 188. My goal is 165 - I have hit a roadblock!

I am loving my watch, too! Feel free to add me :)

I'm 31 and started at 253 in January and I have lost 66 lbs sofar! (At 188 now!) We have the same starting weight :) I'll add you :)

Thank you! I want to say hat at 253lbs with a goal of 2lbs per week- my calorie allowance goal was 2050ish?

I started at 253, and at first i was losing very fast. It has gotten slower. My calorie goal is 1600 (just recently since I've gotten into the 180s). Aggressive maybe? But I haven't been doing anything excessive. I'm not starving or working out for hours daily. It's working for me. Wether or not starvation mode is a myth…

Almost 65 down since January!

I'm 65lbs down! (Started in January!)

Good job!! I'm down 65lbs!

I weigh every day. Its a little daunting and I think I'm slave to the scale lol I record it everyday in MFP and I like to see the trend. 62.5lbs in 181 days! Woot!

Awesome!! Good job! I started in January at 253. I'm 194 now! Hoping to get to the 170s soon! You look amazing!

Way to go!! What have you been doing?

I'm hoping I'm about to have a "whooosh"! I've stayed the same and working my butt off to keep exercising and eating right.

Hey! Pretty close ;) I just posted below yours ;)
