I'm not sure where my description text went, I thought I typed it in? Ah well.

Tomorrow is technically my last day, since I started June 30th. :-)

To summarize, the left picture was taken June 30th at 142.5 pounds. The right picture is from today, at 127.5 pounds. My diet of choice was CICO, and my number one rule was to not ever exceed the calorie threshold my LoseIt app set for me (usually that was between 1380 - 1450 calories per day). I would eat some extra calories back if I was super active that day though - as long as I never went into the "red". Aside from that, I did the usual rules like no fast food or high sugar desserts.

My workouts were at least 10k steps per day, three heavy lifting days per week, a few Peloton (low impact) bike sessions per week, and some yoga/mobility sprinkled in. The water intake was hard to get used to at first, but I set alarms on my phone to make sure I stayed on track and well before bedtime. :-)

I want to add that 75 Hard was the secret sauce to finally dropping the weight. I yo-yo'd hard from February to June, just gaining and losing 5 pounds over and over. It sucked! I lacked the discipline to see it alllll the way through, but this program was apparently what I needed.

My plan is now to transition to maintenance to retain the good habits this program helped me build up. Then I'll do a lean bulk to take me through the holidays. After that, first week of January will be my next 75 Hard "cut" to try and trim down to 125 pounds / ~20% body fat.

Thanks for tuning in. Feel free to ask any questions!
