You look fabulous! You are glowing in the after picture ☺ keep up your hard work and you will be at the finish line in no time!

Just what I needed today thank you so much !

Hi! Don't despair! I have lost 130 pounds over a year and a half (and gained/lost a couple of times before that), am near 40, and with weight lifting and very healthy eating/hydration, it isn't awful. I won't ever be a swimsuit model, but I look good in longer shorts and a t shirt. I also suspect it will shrink up a bit…

Thanks for all of the great input! I am thinking I will try to maintain (I am haha!) for a few more weeks and then slowly drop calories down as suggested!

Thanks for the helpful guidance. I will do some looking into these questions!

I am 5 foot 9 and weigh 225-230. My pants are a size 10-12 and tops a medium to large.

Great news! Congratulations on your amazing success

I'm wondering if you have a recent update? You have done amazingly well!

I found, when I was breastfeeding my children, that it was harder to lose weight for whatever reason. I think most people find that the opposite is true, but everyone is different.

Starting weight: 234 (February 9) Goal weight: 190 Current weight: 234 Total weight lost: 0 This week's successes: Lost 120 pounds so far since September 2015 This week's challenges: Been on a three month stall; maintenance practice!

Hi there, I started at 355 and it wasnt until I had lost about 35-40 pounds that I really noticed a difference in clothing sizes. It was at about the 50 pound lost mark that some folks started to notice, and by 60-70 pounds lost everyone noticed. Because you are quite a bit smaller, I would expect that you will notice…

You are an amazing person! thank you for the friendly advice.

Thank you so much, Ann, for your response. I think you could possibly have nailed something there with the NEAT possibly not being the same, as winter here has been cold and I havent been walking to errands and things of that nature, and in consideration, even my cardio dropped off for the months of december and january,…

Thank you, Timothy, and fair enough. I have seen info such as that, and that even in a given food, the caloric amounts can be off by 20% or more. I suppose the end result is the same, lower the calories and see the weight go down. Just an update that I did my measurements again, and have lost some small degree of inches,…

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! In answer: I have made quite a few changes to my workouts since 2015, adding heavier lifting and more intense lifting, also much harder cardio aspects. I am 37. The 2000 calories is actually what I consume. I had been seeing pretty good strength increases, but that has kind of…

224!

226

Pretty much a newborn giraffe now. Going for losing between an adult woman and adult man

Holding at 228... Waiting patiently for a drop,

Thank you all for the input. Some great food for thought

I am 5'9". Lowest weight since 16, 185 pounds. Highest weight 355. I am currently 225-230 and wear size 14 pants and large tops. My goal weight is 185-195, but I also want to go for a more muscular appearance so will reassess as necessary

I believe I started at 251 and now at 227ish, so down 24 pounds so far

You are both doing great! 228, down 70 for the year. Not likely to lose thirty more by the end of December, but I will surely try!

235. Down...63 for the year? 120 total

I'm 5'9" currently 237 on low days, size lg tops mostly, 14-16 in pants.

241 week 7, 246 to start, not sure what week it is but I'm about 238ish now, 22 pounds to go!

238.6. Down 60ish this year, 116 total! Great job folks!

Week 2 I was 246ish now 241ish. My losses have slowed significantly, hoping to make it to the thirty pound mark!

241.8 on my lowest weight this week. Great job tid !

Thank you for this post, op. I have been trying to wade through the mumbo jumbo supplement pushing magazines etc to figure out exactly how I can gain more muscle mass. Sending a fr as I have a few questions :-)
