no I am about 210. but cutting calories dos not cause me to lose weight it just makes me weak. I think because I am actually not getting all the nutrition out of my food. I wish it was tat easy I would cut my food intake in a heartbeat and I have does it before. I hate eating and its a chore. its not easy to calculate calories the you have to rely on protein so much. your body uses 20% or more of the calories from protein just to digest it. at one time I had to eat 5000 or so calories a day to lose weight because I digested food so poorly. thats my problem too I need more calories then usual because I don't get all the fuel from my food.
