110 pounds, 1 year and 4 months, hit goal...
On December 31st, I hit my goal of 180 lbs. (Strangely, I had set a goal of hitting 200 lbs. by my birthday, which I hit exactly on my birthday, then set goal of 180 by 2004, and hit it on 12/31/03).
Thank you to everyone on this site for helping me so much throughout this process!! Special thanks to those few that I have singled out in the past, you know who you are.
I feel great (and look great, I think (I hope)?), but I still want to lose about another 10 lbs. 16 months ago, I weighed 290 lbs., and I was mentally and physically unhealthy (to say the least). I have completely rebuilt my life from hitting those lows over a year ago. I am rollerblading, playing beach volleyball, doing all sorts of other stuff, and I am skiing again, a passion of mine that I had given up due to being so out of shape.
When I started I measured (male) (approximately) 50 chest and 48 waist (XXL); now I am a 41 chest and a 34 waist (medium).
LCing has become a way of life for me, and it has become rather effortless to stick with it. Although I have occasionally over-indulged in LC foods, I have not binged or "cheated" significantly since I started. I am a big believer in having flexibility and indulging occasionally, and I have given myself permission to do so; but I just have chosen not to up to this point.
Thank you again to everyone for contributing to my success, and if there is anything that I can do to help you, just let me know.
Michael
