Four years ago (1460 days) I started this lifestyle change on myfitnesspal. Started at 209 lbs. Got down to 140 lbs and have returned to 163 lbs. Would like to get back down to at least 151 and stay at that point.
What have I learned over the time? 1) I can do this. 2) Don't always look for LBS to drop look for inches too. 3) Slow and steady wins the race. 4) Understand your numbers (BMI, TDEE, BMR, etc.) 5) Be honest about what you eat and do.
Missing one of these five things is what gets people frustrated and are the cause for many quitting.
One of the biggest things I've learned, not listed above, is that there are many like me. Many have become my friends and even if we don't talk each day each and everyone of my friends here have inspired me in one way or another.
