    Thank you. Reading your account of your journey is eerie because it sounds almost exactly like mine. When I started logging into MFP in January, I weighed 308 pounds. I had been heavy since I was seven years old. Yes, I had tried dieting before, but it never stuck. MFP is different because I now carefully consider every bit of food that I put into my mouth. Is it worth the extra time on the treadmill?

    I am still waiting on my magic. 150 days later, I weigh 249.2 pounds. I am down to two shirt sizes, and my pants literally hang off of my hips. My next goal? to reach that ever-elusive "Onederland." I don't remember when I was less than 200 pounds, but I will. It will just take time.

    I have hit a bit of a lull in the weight loss lately, but reading your story made me realize that magic can indeed happen. I needed that reminder so I thank you again for posting.

    Fantastic. I too have shed a large amount of weight and have also become an "athlete" as a result. Your story is an inspiration to everyone on this site. I wish you all the best for the future.
