Drake Alexander Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Well, it happened. I weighed myself yesterday. I have been doing the work, eating right and pushing myself every step of the way. The info I have gathered, eating habits and exercises are doing their charm. I feel great and proud of myself. I have lost almost 60 pounds! Coming from over 300 lbs have bee a journey but I feel great about this first milestone. As my gift for keeping me motivated, I will wear a Star Wars inspired costume to a Comic-con convention at my town. Bst things are yet to come. If you need that extra push forward, set a goal for yourself. You can achieve it if you make the first move. NF forums have various types of ideas and styles to choose from in order to fit your lifestyle. Set that goal. Think of your future! #Success Quote Link to comment

It is great to hear you have had such great success in your fitness program, do you mind sharing what has worked well for you? Don't mind if I do. This was my mindset and the way I started my journey - Took an analytical view of where I was and what I wanted. - When I saw where I was, I was not happy. (use that anger) - I started researching about Basal Metabolic Rate and TDEE. - When I discovered those numbers, I bought a notepad and made a Food Journal. - I wanted to exercise but, I get bored. So, I downloaded a workout app for 10-minute workouts. - For me, cutting sodas, candy, chips and other high-calorie foods was easy. But, get your own pace. - Then I started to use portion control on everything I consumed. - The more I did control, I focused myself on staying under my calorie expend. For that, I did use MyFitnessPal. - The pounds started to go away. - Rinse and repeat. - Dedication and self-control. Quote Link to comment
Guest TylerG Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 That is awesome - each of these are excellent strategies and advice. I think the underlying theme of all of them is that you were determined and driven to focus on seeing and feeling the results. Quote Link to comment
