Didn't know about this thread until Scotch mentioned it elsewhere.
In the summer of 2015, I weighed 174. I did an elimination diet starting that October (that was supposed to last only a few months but dragged on for a couple years) and dropped to 128 in less than 4 months. And even though people said I looked gaunt, I STILL had a paunch (it was smaller, but definitely there).

Fast forward - for over a year and a half I've weighed between 161 and 169, usually the upper end.
My goal is to get down to 145 (thinner but not 'gaunt' looking), but also put on 10 pounds of muscle (making it 155).
