I have been at it for about 6 months now, and im down to about 235 which is really good so far i think.

When i first started, i was eating healthier and only twice a day, drinking nothing but water. Combined with going to the gym every day (minus weekends) and lifting...no cardio. I lost about 10lb per month this way.

Month 3-4 i got sick with mono....so i missed about a month or 2 of the gym, and i recently got back into it like 2 months ago, but my diet is kinda getting screwy again....soda/crap food. I have gained about 3-4lb this way.

Starting last week i am back into my diet, water only, and gym. Only this time im gonna start spinning as well 2-3 times a day, not missing a day of weight lifting.

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated (good/bad)

Here are some before/after pics....dont really have any recent pics, but i get compliments where ever i go, saying i look different and have lost weight. It feels great, and i cant wait to drop another 40 to get to my target.

Your enthusiasm is infectious. I just started at the gym and I now I know its okay to go every day because YOU are. Great work to lose 50 in 6 months.

update:

230lb, ive started going more strict on my diet. Protein shake with 130 calories int he morning, provides vitamins and essentials for a meal replacement, daily vitamins, and a light low-carb dinner around 4pm before hitting the gym at 7pm. Been following that for 2 weeks now and ive lost another 6lb.
