Hmm. Long term? My plan was to get to 220 ( have since changed that to 210), and i plan on getting very serious at the gym, and gaining some more muscle. Maybe getting up to 225 with muscle and maintenence. But then again this is all new to me. So who knows what will take place. But thats my plan for now lol

And you probably feel better mentally too, not just physically. More confidence, people treat you different, better sleep so more focused during the day. That are a few changes I have noticed recently.

[NeuRon]

yes, i feel better in every way... its weird that people treat you different when your "normal", as opposed to fat.. what a world we live in ;/

216.6 this morning before the gym

[NeuRon]

215.2 after the gym and new routine... 150 gone forever!. seems like its gonna be winding down soon..

[icehog3]

You have lost almost 1/2 of the old Ron in bad weight, now time to rock the muscle, Brother.

Congratulations!!! Been focused on me and a similar weight loss quest this past year and apologies for not piping in earlier. Just read the entire thread and... you da man! Making the lifestlye choices to get where you wanted to be and having the mental strength to keep with it is an awsome accomplishment. The real work is in your head.. the body will do what you are able to command it to and you have taken control of your life by your strength of will!!!!!

Finding happiness with stability vs lower numbers is the next phase. Took me a few months to shake off the "will to lose" as it would come and go and you end up yo yoing a bit.

Finding that new normal might become frustrating but it will pass once you find a number that you can live with looking back at you on that scale.

Kudos to your fantastic accomplishment!

[NeuRon]

thanks Tom & Dave, i appreciate it.. You have done the masterpiece dave.. kudos to YOU!

and Tom is just dreamy.. lol
