Can you tell a difference?

Some back ground..  I started using Medifast  in August of 2008 and I've lost about 100lbs since then.  Here are some pictures of my progress..

315lbs-220lbs..



I transitioned out of Medifast at the beginning of January using a slightly modified Body for Life.

I've been monitoring what I eat very strictly and not cheating at all.  Working out regularly (lifting heavy and alternating days of HITT)   I've been consuming about 2000 (on off days) to 2500 (on workout days) on a ratio of 40p/40c/20f.     My question is that I haven't lost (or gained) ANY weight since transitioning from Medifast.    The next pics are before/afters since ending Medifast 6 weeks ago till now, can you tell a difference?

220lbs for the last 6 weeks...



I've recently cut back to 1700 cals (off days) to 2000 cals (workout days) but maybe I should just keep going as I was?  (I've tried upping them by 500 but still no change in scale weight.  I know the scale is certainly not the best judge of health but I not sure the pictures are showing progress either.

you look exactly the same...
joking...this is amazing...keep it up !

Very good job man!

I don't think you should cut calories at all.  1700 - 2000 calories is waaaay too low in the first place.  I'd bump up the calories and just make it a point to eat more whole, clean foods.

But, good job.  You lost a lot of weight through calorie restriction and diet and lifestyle change.  Now add some muscle.
