Less than 200 pounds!


Recommended Posts

After four months of lifestyle changes, I've broken the 200 lbs mark weighing in at 198! 

 

To preview, this is about the only picture I could find of me at my heaviest, around 240 lbs in August.

I started eating better (about 80% paleo) and getting exercise on a regular basis. The first time I decided to take a picture to measure progress was around 225 lbs (sorry about poor picture quality, I have shaky hands)

Now, after four months, I'm less that 200!!! The last time I weighed this much was when I was 16!

 

Me at 198!

This benchmark has me really excited about my fitness future because I'm not done yet! My current goal is to reach 195 lbs, followed by a focus from weight loss to body fat reduction (from whatever it is now to about 12%).

Man that's great, it's basically reminds me on myself, keep going, I was at 242, now at 177-179 (went down to 172 though), I'm at roughly 11% bf now, you can do it too, just keep persisting and keep yourself motivated!

 

you got this! :D

It's not 80% diet, 20% exercise, it's 100% diet, 100% exercise. Give it your all.

That's so awesome!! I'm happy to hear you've crossed that threshold. I'm closing in on it now and I can't even remember the last time my weight started with a 1. Super excited for both of us!

Did you encounter some irritating comments from the people around you?

This topic is great :)

When I hear evil stuff like "Just you wait, you will experience yo-yo effect" or "You will see, it is impossible to keep the weight loss permanently" or "I liked you better when you were fatter", I instantly get the desire tell that person to #%#"$# off. 

Fortunately I manage to remain cool and ignore such comments.

Hahaha I like checking that thread every once in a while because of all the ridiculous things in it! The people around me are pretty supportive of my goals. Most of the annoying comments that I have to deal with are about the things that I don't eat/drink much of anymore, like french fries and beer ("but you love them!").

Way to go guys! Awesome work :D

@ Duality - that's bizarre man. The whole time I've been on this forum you've been one of the "fit healthy" guys. I never even considered that you'd started off at that kind of weight. It's funny how we make those kinds of assumptions, huh?
