150 pounds gone in 15 months
Under a doctor's care, using regular exercise and MFP to both count calories and balance macros, I am now down 150lbs from my starting weight of 425lbs in November 2018. Only 25lbs left to my goal of 250lbs! Fat loss has slowed but the lifestyle is now firmly in place. Once I reach my target weight I will then begin the…

Taking the plunge today with online fitness coaching
Having dropped my BMI from 59 to 39 over the past year, I am now confident that I can handle a workout and nutrition regimen designed by a professional fitness coach. I want my BMI under 25 by this time next year, so we will see if this is the coach that will do it for me. If it is, I might even let y'all know who. :)

One year changed my life!
For over 30 years, I weighed between 350-425 pounds, constantly yo-yoing. Last year I joined MyFitnessPal and got serious about ALL aspects of my health - diet and exercise especially.

Because I need to drop ANOTHER 20% of my starting weight before I am in a "healthy" range. That will be a much slower slog than the past several months - it might…

Down 121 pounds - now comes the HARD part!
Biggest challenge now? Everyone telling me "Wow, you look great, you don't need to lose any weight!"...when I know I am still 80 pounds above "obese" for my height, age, and frame. At the same time, these will be the toughest pounds to lose.

BMR seems like a wild guess to me
At 6-foot-1 and 309lbs, with daily one hour workouts that include 3000 hip abductors, 1000 pelvic lifts, plus weight training...and a warehouse job that keeps me on my feet tossing boxes 6-8 hours every weekday, I should be able to eat 2200 calories a day and lose weight. NOT. If I go over 1600 GROSS calories in a day, I…
