I had lost 100 pounds between June 2010 and February 2011 (I dropped 95 pounds from 280 to 185 in 6 months, and lost an additional 5 pounds over another 2 months). This weight loss was achieved mainly from a 1,000 calorie daily intake and walking 12km a day. After reaching my goal I lost interest in weight management and my weight had been gained back. My approach to weight loss was poor since my diet needed more calories and as a result I likely lost a lot of muscle. Even after losing 100 pounds and weighing so little, I still looked somewhat fat, suggesting that much of my weight loss was muscle.
