Thank you for the feedback. The good thing for me is that in order to get up to 460 pounds, I was eating about 5000-6000 calories per day for years. My current breakdown is about 1600-2000 calories which is the recommended amount for the goal weight I am looking to achieve. I am at about 50-60 net carbs per day with plenty of good fat and about 150 grams of protein. I am currently averaging about 3 pounds lost per week, meaning some weeks it is 1.5-2 and other 4-5. I work out 5 days per week, with rest spaced every 2-3 days. I fell like this amount of food and the consistency of 5 workouts per week should be sustainable long term. As my blog and the first post on this thread says, I have tried and failed a lot. Those times I was on a crash type diet and was working out way to much.
I feel like I am in a good place and I can sustain this pace. If the pace slows, I am not going to get extreme just to get paid or make myself suffer to hit a goal. I will say that the monetary motivation is nice, but it is not what drives me. Again, thank you for the feedback. It is good to hear from people.
