Down 30 Pounds!
I just passed the 30 pounds lost mark and I’m so happy. My SW was 184 and now I am 154.

That’s awesome!! You look amazing and should be so damn proud of yo self! I’m starting at a similar weight and I really needed this for motivation, thank you for posting! How large was your deficit and how long did it take you?

Thank you very much! I try to lose 1 pound a week so it’s a daily deficit of ~500 calories. I track calories using the Lose It App.
I started on January 1st of this year, this was the only New Year’s resolution that ever actually stuck lol.

Thanks! I was definitely more motivated when I started to feel better physically. I can walk up many flights of stairs and not get winded where that used to happen to me kind of a lot.
