    no, not yet! I am probably 30-35 pounds away from goal, I figure I'm about 7-8 months away!!

    When I started MFP in late 2013, I was 245lbs.
    To get from 305 to 245 took a few years. I was undecided and confused about diet approaches. I did a lot of reading and trial and error. I feel like I have a very good grasp of what I'm doing and it feels good to be in control.

    Thank you! It DOES feel good. Thanks for accepting my FR, even though I have lost a lot of weight I am still softer than I would prefer. I'd love to pick your brain about your fitness approach!

    Great work! I lost 45 at 44 and that was hard enough, 100 is a lot more!
