[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started last September at 242 (I'm 5'7" and 53 yrs old.)

As of this morning I'm at 202!  I'm thrilled, exhausted, chastened by how long it has taken and what it takes to maintain, and now just dying to break that 200 barrier.

It has been painfully slow and I have been plateaued for weeks at a time but then I'll get 2 or 3 pounds off in a burst and it gives me a boost to get me through the next plateau.

I've done it by calorie counting, use LoseIt.  I haven't significantly changed up my workout routine, although I've certainly been walking some more during the pandemic.

The weight loss averages out to just over a pound a week, but it's actually felt much more fitful than that.  But now 50 pounds seems so possible - which is amazing to me.

My first big goal is 185 - which is in the ballpark of what I weighed 20 years ago.  My absolute ultimate goal would be 165 - which is what I weighed 30+ years ago and still seems unfathomable to me.  But really that's just repeating what I've just done, so maybe it isn't.

In any case, thanks for this thread.  Good luck everyone and thanks for the success stories from others![/quote]

This is very impressive!   I hate the plateaus.  They really kill my motivation.   Keep going! [/quote]
