btw, my comment was meant in jest, as i went from 230 to 160 not that long ago.

What was harder, the 230 to 195 or the 195 to 160?

230-175 was about the same. basically i looked at myself one day and said "self, your fat" it helped that i was walking a total of an hour and a half/day to and from classes. it also helped that i couldn't really afford food. but i stepped back and looked at my food intake honestly and realized that a "normal" dinner for me was a box of spaghetti or a whole frozen pizza. then i looked at what helathy people aroudn me were eating and realized that one meal for me was 3 meals for them. i basically just never realized how poorly i was eating and once i did i worked hard to think about eating a healthy portion of whatever it was. it wasn't like i went from eating a whole pizza for dinner to eating a salad and 4 oz of swordfish, i just tried to at least eat normal sized portions of whatever i was having.

i probably developed a slight bout with anorexia, once i hit 175 i was pretty skinny, but i kept going and ended up at 160. when i went to [censored] my at the time girlfriend one night and she told me that i was too skinny i realized that i didn't look like a man anymore, just a skinny piece of [censored], and actually put a little weight back on.

right now i'm 175 without much muscle but i definitely look and feel way way wayw way better than i did.

fwiw i hit 230 around 16 and lost the weight when i was 19 and i'm 6'1"
