I have gotten started for a few gym sessions. I did find a program that I feel like is a good starting point. I go three days a week using a maching program that includes* Chest Press * Shoulder Press * Leg Press * Lateral Pull Down * Bicep Curl / Tricep Extension (rotate every workout) * Hamstring Curl / Leg Extension…

Holy Cow, never missed a leg day?

Great job!
-
Those are the things can keep you and others motivated. Keep it up and keep sharing
-
That is a really good week! Keep it up!
-
That is an outstanding transformation. Simply amazing and good for you. I am in about the exact same boat. If I got anywhere close to what you accomplished it would be amazing.

Find some ways to stay busy. I find if I am in the house and on the computer or watching TV, I am also snacking and get carried away. When I am busy doing other things, like cleaning the garage, washing the car, reloading ammunition, going to the range, walking the dogs or training the dogs, the time goes by much quicker…

I am not the OP, but my suggestion to people just starting out is to be accurate with weighing food and be accurate with your tracking of food in the app. It seems like you can eat just about whatever you want to in moderation. Accurate logging allows you to know, and to make good decisions based on the information you…

It sounds like you are on the right track. Make lifestyle changes that allow for good health. You can what what you want to in moderation. Happy learning!

Congratulations! You look great. Losing 100 pounds is not small feat. Proud of you for sticking with it, and encouraging others as you go!

I think I fit the group you are reaching out to. I am 52 years old. I started at about 432 pounds and I have a goal weight of 225 -240. I am 6'4" with a large frame. I also have a very busy desk job, so I spend 10 hours a day or more behind the desk with little activity. I started with the 2lbs per week option and what I…

Great results! I have just recently altered my diet to up my protien. I am looking at 35% protein. Do you think the high protein percentage helped you in your weight loss or is that just how you wanted to eat?
-
Great work and commitment. I am very happy that you are finding happiness in your success. Keep it up
-
Your journey is very similar to the one I have to take. I started at about the same spot you did. I think my goal weight will be somewhere between 225 and 240. I guess we will see when we get there. I have lost 60 pounds so far, in about 6 months time.
-
Congratulations! Great news. That is a significant amount of change! I bet you feel better too.
-
Update... everyone was right! I started tracking closer, using the food scale, etc. I also cut out the snacking a bit. I was never doing what I thought was much, but I was using the Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn like potato chips and having a serving or a serving and a half every day (unmeasured) and even though it fit…

in my experience, you will make great progress at the MFP recommended level. I use the recommended level and I lost a little over 50 pounds in the first 3 months. Very significant progress. If you lose too fast, you may lose too much muscle in place of fat loss. From my experience, it is very important to track every bite…

Sounds good guys. I will try to do better at weighing everything. I will also open my food diary. I did not know it was closed.
-
I thought about the estimating too, and being an Engineer, its easy to reduce it to calories in and calories out. I have rebalanced my calories, and rounded down to the next hundred. I am pretty sedentary with a desk job. What doesnt make sense is to go from great progress to no progress. I do need to tighten up my…
-
Great work! The dedication definately paid off.... you look great!
-
Thanks for the insight. I have the same issue when I am home, and not particularly busy in the evening. Weekends are rough, I think i have boredom binge.... lol.
-
Great success... keep it up. That is a lot of weight loss over that time. You are 100% correct in that you can get another 50, just keep doing what your doing.
-
That is such an amazing transformation. Good for you, buddy!
-
congratulations! Great effort and great results
-
Where did you begin on research for the macros. I have mine set where the app puts them. Adjusting macros is an area where I could use some research to understand what I am doing.
-
I am an engineer by trade, so linear thinking and normally based on data. It would seem to me that you should eat what you want and just honestly log it. You cant lie to yourself, and you are the only one who really cares about what you eat. How can you make good decisions if you do not have all the information. Weight…

I noticed that I have lost enough weight that my stomach does not control how I walk anymore. I am still heavy and not even half way to my goal but I am nearly at 50# lost and I can feel it in how I walk and how I react to things that get in my way, or changes in direction etc.
-
Wow, great progress and done in a fairly short (but reasonable) amount of time. Good for you!
-
great progress. Keep it up. Slow and steady. That is big weight loss to go along with building strength!
-
Way to go! I am down 40 pounds as well, but I have further to go than you do. Its a fun journey so far, but I expect it to get more challenging for myself.
