Weighed in at 335lbs in February, steppes on the scales today at 299.9lbs! The next few days are going to be carefully monitored to make sure I never hit 300+ again - I know weight fluctuates and it’s not the end of the world if I peek over 300, but I want to note today as the day I dropped and stayed below 300 for life.
I thought I’d be here a lot sooner, but for about 6 weeks I was just maintaining / losing 1lbs per week - and although this is good for my health it tanked my motivation!
Looking forward to sub 280 next!
For those interested in what I’ve done - as I always am:
Weighed daily Calorie track daily - aiming for 1700cals a day.
First 2 months I was hitting cardio hard for an hour every day. 2000/cals per day AVERAGE as I was hitting my 1700 goal but a cheat meal here and there pushed up the average. My go to machines were stationary bike, stair master, treadmill in that order - 20 mins on each minimum targeting a 140-150bpm hr
The last 2 months I’ve been focusing on strength training alot more, increased my strength but as I already had a good base from powerlifting I started to focus on size as soon as I was happy with my base strength. Although my weight has stayed about the same at 305lbs my body noticeably looks better. Calories average out to 2400/day
The last week or so I’ve increased cardio but in the form of long but comfortable walks to try and develop a lifestyle change. still hitting the weights just as hard, calories dropped to 2000/day.
