After being fat most of my life and trying but failing on several major attempts I've finally been able to get down to my goal weight. I went from 205lb to 150lb (though heaviest I remember I was 220) and I've got some loose skin, but I pretty happy with myself. Anyone else make good progress with the help of Veeky Forums?
From here I'm going to transition onto a maintenance diet and a more long-term manageable exercise routine for a while. After that, I'm going to try to build a bit more muscle and increase my lifts.
Also general weight loss and progress thread.

Good job bro, but you need to start bulking. Like right now.

Shoo skelly shoo!

Thanks! Ya, I've started to gradually increase my daily calories until I'm at a reasonable surplus, and I'm learning how to do more exercises to fill out my body. I'm going to start trying build muscle after the holidays.

After years of being fat, I'm perfectly happy to be a spooky skelly for a while.

IMO, the holiday and reunion food season is the best time to lift heavy. If your worried about putting on too much fat with the muscle, don't be. Look at your progress, you've cut before and you can do it again, only this time you'll have more muscle to show for it.

how long did it take you?

Thanks for the advice, I'll take it under consideration.

Pretty fast, about 7 months. I averaged about 2lbs a week, but I had a very rigorous 5 day a week exercise routine and never missed a day. I did weights MWF and cardio+core TuTh, and my sessions were about 1hr 30 min (including rests). I'm working on putting together a more maintainable exercise routine at the moment.

You could have started lifting from the left pic onward to be honest, you didn't have to go full skelly. Now you have to eat more to make gains.
