Hello, I am half way through my weight loss journey. Over the last year and a half I have lost 70 pounds and I have another 70 to go. I expect the 2nd half of my journey to take a little longer. I will be working hard over the next year (or 2) to eat right and exercise. Right now I exercise daily and feel great. I also log a daily calorie deficit of 500. I have a few minor medical issues that luckily can be resolved with diet and exercise. So hopefully when I am at my goal weight and maintaing for life I can help others achieve their personal goals through example and advice. Good luck everyone! You can do it!

Update 8/8/15: I have been working at weight loss for 3 years now, over the last year I have been stalled at just over the 200 pound mark. I have lost over 80 pounds and feel great. I have adjusted my final goal to 185 pounds. I would ideally like to be between 185 & 190 for the rest of my life. I have about 20 more pounds to go, but weight loss has been very slow. For me exercise is key and I have not been getting my workouts in. I would like to lose the next 20 pounds over the next 2 years, this is a very doable goal, only 10 pounds a year, slow and steady wins the race. I continue to improve my eating habits, I LOVE eating clean and healthy, the food is remarkable! I have to get back into a daily workout. For the rest of 2015 it is my goal to carve out the time in each day to get my workout in, ideally get back to exercising 5-6 days a week. I have located an extra 30 minutes in my day. I plan to hit the gym for 30 minutes each day, this means sacrificing time in other areas of my life to be able to focus on my health, but I know from experience that it is worth it.
