238 lbs July, 2015 197 lbs September, 2015 The Journey

Wow! 61 lbs is awesome! Congratulations to you! Yes, I bought the Apple Watch after my Jawbone crapped out. Mostly to track heartbeat and activity. Now I use it for just about everything.

"BEFORE" at 238 lbs in June "AFTER" at 200 lbs in September The Journey

I will say, tried running a few times on no carbs and it was a bear! Had to stop every mile or so because I kept hitting a wall. Got dizzy and nauseous at the end so I stopped. Learned my lesson, the body needs fuel!

Great work! It's a constant battle, congrats on your success!

My goal weight is 190 lbs. after that, I'll increase calories again to maintain.

I gets easier once you get over the carb withdraws... I got to the point when I felt full after only eating half of a petite filet! I know 800 calories is restrictive, but I had plenty of stored calories (aka "fat") to keep me going! I also took vitamins and drank lots of Powerade Zero daily for electrolytes.

Sometimes. Most of the time relied on an app with a scanner that would tell me how much I was eating. Breakfast was always the same thing, couple eggs or a protein shake. Lunch was a grilled chicken breast. For dinner I'd usually eat a 4 oz filet, salmon or chicken with salad.

Not really. Just started going to the gym regularly about a month ago.

I just upped it today. I'll let you know!
