It's been a couple of weeks since I did an official weigh in, but I've sustained the weight loss since the photo was taken. Brandon - It’s been 4 months and 1 day since I hit 158.

I always remember the moniker, "Easy come easy go." What is your daily caloric expenditure? There are several free online calculators that will help you determine this based on your height, weight, and physical activity. To lose fat, I would not restrict calories by any more than 500. More than that, and you will risk putting your body into starvation mode and become catabolic. The second you start to increase your caloric consumption (1,000 calories/day is not sustainable by any means) you will immediately start storing the excess as fat, and you will have a harder time losing it since your body has been eating your muscle for energy. As far as weigh training goes, I would highly recommend getting off those machines and use free weights. Do some full body exercises, like squats, pull-ups, deadlifts, etc. You don't need to go heavy if you aren't looking to add muscle, but you could do 12-15 reps with a moderate weight, and notice some significant results. Hope some of my advice helps- if not you, anyone else who may visit this page. Cheers! Congrats on your change, but you should know this is not sustainable or healthy.

Congratulations :) I'm currently running away all my fat from the past year and hope to start seeing results soon, especially after I begin lifting again in the coming weeks.
