I started my weight loss journey the beginning of January. As of this morning I'm down 50 pounds. I have another 75 or so pounds to go till I hit goal. I'm excited.

    I have myfitnesspal set to loose 2 pounds a week (since I still have a lot to loose). I eat the amount of calories it tells me to. For the most part I'm within my calorie goals. Are there days I go over? Yes. But they are few and far between and usually planned (birthdays, special occasions, ect). I make sure I log it and get right back to the next day/next meal. I have a Fitbit and make sure I get in atleast 10k steps a day. Also I've found that drinking water helps me a lot. I have a sports bottle that refill throughout the day. I drink 4 of them a day (32 ounce bottle). I keep telling myself I'll join a gym when I get to 200. I know no one cares how fat you are at the gym, but I have a mental thing going, that I can't go to the gym fat. Another 19 pounds and I get myself in there. But loosing weight is 80% diet and 20% exersice. It's working for me now, so I'm happy.

    Thank you all for your words of encouragement.

    I have reduced my carbs also. My goal is to lose 35 pounds. I started April 1st and I am already down eight pounds. I can't wait till I can post that I've lost 45 pounds or 35 pounds I think that's awesome. And it's also great to know that there are other people out there that have successfully lost weight while lowering their carbs B)
