    1500 Calorie Diet

    M/34/6’2″ [220lbs > 180lbs] (18 months) Been hovering around 1600 a day for about a year and a half. Very happy with the progress! Cut way down on drinking. Exercising and only cheating on the weekends. Proportioned meals are a big help and only keeping healthy snacks at home (mostly carrots).

      Amazing! You found the secret that I also found helped – find a healthy snack you love and keep it around. Mine was mini cucumbers mixed with spices and a lil balsamic glaze!

      By cheating on the weekends what do you mean? Like you ate 1800 instead of 1600, or just went all out?

      I weighed 230 start of the year and Im down to 217 following a 1700 calorie diet. I cheat one day out of the week, usually Sunday, were I eat about 2500. I haven’t lost a pound in about two weeks now, which is fine because i do weight lifting workouts. I’m hoping its muscle gains lol

      I was just curious as to how your cheat days were, see if it’ll get me to my goals even if I continue to cheat.

      This is literally my favorite type of progress photos! You went from soft skinny fat to having that toned look. So happy for you 🙂

      Great job ma ! As another 6’2 30ish year old very exciting to see that it can be done. What’s your workout plan? How bad did you cheat on the weekends?

      Great work!! I am of similar age and height. Down 270 to 220 in 7 months with 20 to go.

      Keep it up! Agree on the plan to bulk

      Excellent job, and thanks for posting. How did you break out your meals? For example, was it four 400 calorie meals or a different kind of split?

      Congrats on your progress, seriously impressive stuff. I’m also 6-2 and a similar age. At my fattest was 238, added in weight training at ~190 and am now (hopefully!) recomping between 190 and 195.

      About to embark on a cut though.

      Helpful after photo – gives me a sense of very roughly what I might look like if I lose another 10-15lbs of fat. You look great and my reaction was, ‘That is worth getting to.’

      Thanks for the motivation!
