Now, the caveat is that the goal photo is from a few years back. I've gained quite a bit back. The reason I post it now is not only for my motivation that yes, I really can and will do this again, as well as for others to see that it can be done. I always enjoyed looking at pictures here and it really motivates me.
It's actually much easier to lose weight than I ever thought. Keeping it off, now there's a whole other monster.
If you're curious as to the method of the my 122lb weight loss it was pretty darn simple:
- Calorie counting between 1200 and 1500 a day, no specific counting of carbs or anything like that.
- Some walking, maybe around a mile or so a day.
- No food after 7pm.
That's really it. It took about a year for the first hundred and another six months for the rest.
Now, is that sustainable over the long term? I maintained it for about 2 years or so before I really lost control again. You simply can't have a lot of pizza and cookies every single day and maintain a healthy weight. No matter. What's done is done and it's a new day today. When I hit that weight again, I'll post a new pic.
