Done it!

In 8 months I have successfully despatched 102lbs to reach my goal weight.
The question I am always asked is "What fabulous diet did you do?" to which the straight answer is "Nothing but basic science! Less in & more out :-)". Of course, myfitnesspal is the "trick" and I have recommended to anyone who will listen, just adding "remember to bring your committment".

Seriously though, the big lesson I have learned is that it doesn't matter how many times your doctor or your partner or your kids tell you to lose weight, it must be yourself that decides it's time otherwise you are doomed to failure (as I have discovered many times over the last 10 years!)
Don't ask me what the trigger was (other than realising I might have a significantly shorter life) but as soon as the lbs start to disappear and people start to notice, that is the only motivation you need to keep going.

I wish you all the very best of luck with your journeys, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it's really bright when you get there.

Good bye "Fat Matt". Long live "Less Fat Matt" :-)

So awesome! I know just what you mean as I have tried many times during my life with many ups and downs but this time it's different! It is a wonderful feeling kind of like walking on air physically and mentally! Fitness Pal was the key for me too as it taught me so much of what was going in and out! So happy for you and hope you stay the course the rest of your happy "less fat Matt" life!
