Fantastic progress, congrats on all your hard work.

Amazing transformation!!

The Rocky IV soundtrack. Gets me pumped every time.

I do the opposite, I run in the morning and strength train/lift weights in the evening. Sometimes i'll run after the lifting as well. Just listen to your body. If you stop losing weight or start feeling bad, you know you are over doing it. With that much exercise, just make sure you are eating enough calories though.

Hey Shane, welcome to the forums. I have a similar track record. Got up to 300lbs then down to 215 then back up to 260 now down to 199. My goal is about the same as yours' as well, 175. I used to think the same thing about myself, that I had a "big frame", but when I started losing weight I saw the fat drop off and my…

Hey Matthew First and foremost, thank you for serving, and stay safe!! Sounds like you are well on your way, grats on your progress so far. Feel free to friend me if you like, the more motivation the better.

That is fantastic, great job. Just wondering, how tall are you?

Make a plan and follow it. Don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon, just get back on. Don't put too much faith in the scale. Log everything that goes in your mouth. I remind myself of these things daily.

Welcome to the site. You've just done one of the most important steps and that is to join a community to help keep you accountable. This place is great and is a wealth of information. You are starting close to my original weight of 300. The road is tough like you said, but it is very worth it. Stay strong and disciplined…

I've used insanity in the past, but never made it all the way though. It is pretty deceptive to how hard it is. Not hard that you can't do it, just hard in that once you start you are amazed at what it puts you though. Some of the best workouts ive ever had though.

I just got in to this myself. Always looking for more friends and support. Sending you an invite.

Spinning is fantastic. I loved it so much I bought a spinner for home. The first time or two you will get saddle sore, but fret not, that goes away soon. Spinning is one of those sports that you get what you put in to it. Listen to the instructor and when they say push or go hard do it! As many have said you will get the…

It already calculates the deficit for you based on how much weight you told it you wanted to lose.

I've had that happen every time I have lost a noticeable about of weight. I know people are just trying to be nice and recognize my accomplishment. I usually just smile and reply with thank you. When I was at my highest (300 pounds) I had energy, normal blood pressure, and normal cholesterol. My doctor always said I had…

I had a similar problem with getting to the gym. I just bought a treadmill for home right before Christmas, and it has been a amazing. It's all about finding what works for you and your schedule. I'm always looking for more support as well. Sending you an invite.

Welcome, add me if you like. I'm always looking for more support as well.

Great job, keep it up!

What is up hot stuff!! You are smokin! Congratulations, you are an inspiration.

Wow, you look amazing. Great job!

Hi Emma, I too am back on the horse. Friend me if you like, I'm looking for all the support I can get!

I hear ya man, I'm looking for all the support I can get as well. Invite on the way!

I'm new too, had an account for a while but only lurked. Time to get active! I'm looking for support as well so I'll be sending you an invite.

That is about what I am trying to shed as well. I'm currently 215 and want to get down to 175-180. I just got the ball rolling as well.

I'm about the same height 5'10" and have the game goal. I originally started about 300 lbs and am now down to 215. Getting started again is the hard part. Get into a rhythm and get that body moving.

Well Happy Birthday! and congrats on your success.
