I'm 44 years old and I Started January 11th of last year at 260 lbs. On September 15th of last year I reached my Goal of 100 lbs loss. It took me exactly 8 months and 4 days. I changed what & how much I eat. I got up off the couch and joined my local gym. I have been maintaining for just over five months and I currently weigh 154.4. I pretty much eat what I want on the weekends (however, I don't gorge myself) and Monday through Friday I walk the straight and narrow with my eating and exercise.
I continue to be active on MFP and share my story in hopes of inspiring others.

I clicked on the MFP blog she linked to, and she said she went to the gym 3-4 days a week, 2 hrs each time, and was eating 1200 cals a day. She went down from 260 to 199 in 4 months doing that & she started off with cardio, so gym, doing cardio 4x per week & 1200 cals. IMHO, Cardio for 2 hours = 800-1000+ cals so right there is why the weight came off fast.

Wow wow wow. Absolutely fantastic I have over 100lb to lose and hope I can be as successful as you. I have chronic health problems that don’t allow me to exercise so am currently relying on fewer calories to shed the lbs. It may take me longer this way but I’m determined to do it. I am 41 in April and don’t want to spend the rest of my life fat and miserable. Thank you for the inspirational post xxxx0

Fabulous and inspirational. I started at 240 and my goal is 140, so it feels great to see someone who has been successful at losing that much. Amazing how great you look now. I bet people hardly recognize you.0

Woozers! Your transformation is incredible! Congrats on your commitment to making a healthy life style change.
I had lost 54lbs in about 5 months and stalled there for a month..then old ways settled back in and let a busy life be my excuse. Gained 10-15lbs back. So here I am.. determined to get back.at it. Your post is very inspiring..thank you for sharing!
All the best
