I’m 178 down from 230 2 years ago. Trying to put on muscle weight now and lower BMI. Meal prep with very limited cheat meals and gym 5 days a week. If only I could kick beer, it’s my downfall.

I gave up fast food and almost all booze about three months ago. Went from 225 to 195. I'm 6' 2". High blood pressure is now normal. knee pains are gone. Gonna start walking and working out when it cools down. Losing a couple more pounds should get my bmi in the normal category.

9/1/23 was the two year anniversary of the start of my journey. I've evicted 124.4 pounds. My waist is 28 inches smaller and my chest is 12 inches smaller. I've got 23.6 pounds to go to reach my goal weight, although I know that might not happen. My legs are very muscular from carrying 362+ pounds for about 28 years. But I am only 2 inches away from my waist goal and I'm 2 inches smaller in my chest than I want, so I'm trying to correct that. Eventually, I want to be at a 32 inch waist and 46 inch chest...I'd love to reach 214.6 again, but at 238.2, I'm in a 36 inch pant/34 inch short (my calves are freaking huge and most pants can't accommodate them in the smaller waist) and an XL shirt. So, I'm not where I want to be, but a heck of a lot closer than I was. I'm 6' and 48 years old...so getting there.

I’ve now dropped 40 lbs, down to 216 from 256. I have 16 more lbs to lose.

well I'm fat again. back to 230....

That's subjective, man. You can take control of this and get back to it if you want to. I'm now down 128.2 pounds...and it's not always easy when you hit a plateau, or you're so busy working and helping remodel a house that the last thing you want to do is cook clean. But you do it because you want to be healthy. Don't get me wrong, there are times when I hit Panda Express for something moderately healthy because I just don't have the time, but that is very rare. I believe in you! You can do this!
