34 days...

Hi everyone,
Today is my 34th day on MyFitnessPal. I am 43 years old. I have been slim my entire life until I had a hysterectomy 5 years ago. Since then I have doubled my weight. I went from 160 pounds to 320 pounds over the last 5 years. Desperate to lose weight, I went through the process of having the gastric bypass, but I backed out before surgery (this year). I just couldn’t go through with it. I decided I wanted to lose weight with eating the foods I like but less portions. This is how I ended up here. I have lost 17 pounds in the last 34 days. I am very happy with my results so far. However, I have made up my mind if it takes 5 years to get it off, then it will be ok. I am so tired of being tired. I want to change my eating habits for life.

Hi--I'm 71 and am still carrying baby fat. Baby is 34. I have been losing very very slowly from a high of 287.2 down to today 247.4. I was introduced to MyFitnessPal in a diabetes class a few years ago, but lapsed. Now am back and have been posting every day. It is working. I am swimming for an hour 2-3 days a week and do 3 hatha yoga classes, so am good on exercise. But I would really like to not be morbidly obese anymore. My goal is to get down to merely overweight, which is about 90 pounds from now. I'm doing well keeping to my 1500 daily calorie goal set by my doctor, am usually a bit under but as a vegetarian, have trouble eating enough protein and am always several grams over on sugar. Ideas?
