Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 199 lb, Goal: 175 lb - I am inching my way closer to my goal :) I'm so happy. the most i had ever lost in my LIFE was 10 pounds, and i gained 5 back in no time, but i lost 26 pounds so far and it's staying off and keeps coming off slowly but surely. i don't exercise at all which i probably should but i work and am really busy, but my job keeps me on my feet walking back and forth and lifting boxes and stuff for 8 hours a day so thats not too bad. good luck everyone :)

Emily, if you go to caloriesperhour.com you can find your BMR or RMR and that tells you how many calories you burn each day, if you were to do nothing but just sit there. Take that number, and that is around how many calories you need to eat each day. It's a very helpful website. You can figure out just how many calories you burn everyday, including your workout. Check it out :]

Hey, I am the same height and weight(as your starting weight), how many calories did you stick to? I am trying to find the right balance for my weight/height...
Good job! The feeling of that accomplishment will prove to be the biggest motivation, so stick with it!

AWESOME JOB! How long did it take to lose it and what did you do?
