March 25, 2018 around 155#. I started a few weeks before this at 160.6. 

Wow, huge difference. Good job!

Congratulations! 🎉 

Thanks everyone!  

@newvegan, how did I do what? Lose the weight? If so.... I messed up at first lol. Started by cutting meals to half portions, no soda and no snacks. Over the last year I’ve found that CICO with flexible dieting works for me. Now I am in maintenance and can be even more flexible. I still limit liquid calories except on special occasions but I have snacks almost every day. I just have to be mindful of my calories for the day/week. I have a “calorie bank” as I like to call it. I multiply my daily calories wanted (CI) by 7 and get the weeks total. So say 1600*7=11,200. I can use those calories whenever and however I want. Some days I may have homemade soup for about 400 kcal per 2 bowls and sandwich and chips for lunch at 400 kcal. If I have no snacks then I’ve saved 800 kcal for a calorie dense meal later in the week. If I’ve had pizza at 2,000 kcal then I’ll need to eat lighter one day to make up the 400 extra calories I ate with the pizza. Moderation is hard for me but it works for me. Being able to move the calories around during a week really helps.  

Wow, what a great track record of weight loss. Keep on, keeping on 

Lol Chris! This pic is from a year ago when I got the app. I also know it’s just water for the gain today. Water retention.... story of my life lol. Ya know... 20,000 extra calories sounds good. But it would have to be over a few weeks not a day 😉. I wonder how much cheese and almonds it would take to make up that 20k.  

It's water retention.😁 😜
