Great Work man. And Awesome Beard!

July 2016 I weighed in at 315lbs (55yo 5' 11") now 4 years later I'm down to 168lbs. I held at 185 for about a year but found my BMI to be 24.8% I want it under 20%; so for the last 6 months I dropped my daily Calories to 1750ish avg. and increased my cardio some (but not alot). Anyway soon I will be 59 and am in the best…

Adjusting MFP daily Calories and Macros from Weight Loss to Maintain. 316Lbs on 1 July 2016 to 168Lbs on 21 August 2020.

Sounds like you are doing fine. It' takes longer than that to lose muscle, losing energy however is another matter. It will take your system a while to adjust to your current meal schedule. With that said now we get to the hard part.... keeping you Calorie count in your current range make sure you getting a minimum of .7…

WAY To GO!!!! I did 316-168 but it took me 4 years.

July 2016 I weighed in at 315Lbs as of today 6 August 2020 170Lbs. Yes that is 4 years but I spent 40 years putting that weight on. Also to minimize muscle loss I held at 185Lbs for a year and hit the gym. Current plan is to drop 2 more pounds (to an even 12 Stone) and see a under 20% body fat on my upcoming October…

I started at 315lbs July of 2016. Using MFP and for the last 2 years some weight training I am now 4lbs away from 168lbs (12 Stone). That should give me my goal of getting under 20% Body Fat. Hope to hit it by 1 Sept. 2020.

Excellent!

At 55 I hit 315 no major health problems but that was just too much. I started Atkins again and found the Atkins Calorie App and used it for about a year with good success. Some Server issues shut the Atkins app down for long enough for me to find MFP that is the short story of how I got started. As for the rest of your…

I have two Primary Goals and two Secondary. Primary 1. weight down to 170 (I was at 315 in July of 2016) I'm at 177 now. 2. Body fat down to under 20% (it was at 24.8% when I was at 185). Secondary 1. I have pair of Marine Class A Trousers which last fit me in 1984 I want to wear them comfortably for the Marine Corps 245th…

Increase your daily Calorie intake by 250-500 over your maintenance calorie needs. Try to make most of the Calorie increase Protein. Try to hit a daily Protein Macro of at least 150. Consistency is the key, don't hop from workout program to workout program.....stick with a program at least 12 weeks. Don't miss a workout,…

By now you are in the "Habit" of using MFP and you know it works ...... I'll be watching for a 100lb down notice.
