    Hey - there's a group that I'm a part of on here that is for those of us who have more than 100 lbs to lose - I've found some great support on there recently.

    Dan has some great advice! I am maintaining now, but lost 125. Getting past the first months is the toughest until you make it a habit. Also like he already said, just remember you will occasionally fall off the wagon, this is NOT a reason to give it up, it just being human. You might also lose your motivation sometime. The trick is you do it whether you feel motivated or not. Having a lot to lose can be overwhelming. Just take it a day at a time, a pound at a time.

    Hello Mamadon,
    How are you doing? May I ask, is there a specific plan that you followed or basically, you went by what MFP set for you as far as cabs/proteins/fats? Thank You! I was doing Atkins Diet, but want to convert fully to MFP. Thank You!

    Hello Momtofran! I just counted calories and exercised more and that's it. I really didn't pay any attention to carbs, fat etc. I had tried low carb before but could never sustain it. I ate around 1200 to 1300. If I had a craving for something I would budget my calories so I could have it. I weigh and measure all of my food and I have a fitbit also.

    I'm just starting out...again, and need to lose 100lbs. I lost a bunch with mfp in 2012 but didn't keep up with the app and gained back 40. I know it works! I would love to encourage and be encouraged as well. Let's do this :-)
