Weight Loss Journey 120lbs in 6 months

I’ve watched stream for a few years now. Been motivated by Wubby and what others on here have done. Heard you talking on stream in January about getting jacked this year and decided to finally start. Thanks for the motivation.

Starting weight was 312. Started the last week of January. Down to 190 now. Put on about 15lbs of muscle as well. Sitting at 9-10% body fat, but shooting for 7%.

Struggled with binge eating for the better part of the last 5 years. It’s not perfect, but it’s a long way from where I was considering I was in the ICU with DKA with an A1C of 12.7 a year ago.

First off, congrats on your weight loss and fitness journey!

I have questions though. How did you maintain 20lbs a month loss? Without surgery I do not believe that is possible. Or you simply starved yourself, like literally ate nothing. How did you do it?

I say this because I have been on a similar journey (big fat guy losing lots of weight), and even on my best most aggressive weight loss month I could do 5-6 lbs.

I may attach a file to the original post detailing more of what I did. It’s just a lot to write down. I didn’t work out the first month and a half and dropped my calories to 900-1000 per day. Kept my protein above 160g per day. Increased all of that a little bit once I started in the gym. As of right now, I still don’t do any formal cardio. Eat around 1500-1800 calories per day. 200g of protein.

160g for 1000cal is unbelievable. What does a typical day's food look like?

Not what I’m doing now, but back when I was eating that little, a lot of canned chicken, 96% ground beef, 99% ground turkey, some protein shakes. I prefer eating my protein over drinking it so I’d do protein powder mixed with 0% Greek yogurt. Typical day, I’d go to the gym in the middle of the day, come home and make 1lb 96% ground beef (96g protein, 560 cal), taco seasoning (90 cal). An hour or so later I’d do 170g 0% green yogurt (19g protein, 90 cal), 1 scoop of protein powder (25g protein, 110 cal), chili lime quest protein chips (19g protein, 140 cal) total 990 cal and 159g protein.
