Hey y’all! I have been using MFP for the last week. I have logged in each day this week and I have been under my calorie goal each time. I’m making this big change with my eating habits during a very busy time in my life. I’m working around 80 hrs a week, 4 children, and a wonderful wife that is supporting me. We both want to lose weight. I want to lose 40 pounds! I just turned 33 this year. Is it really possible for me to lose that much weight or should I just give up the dream???

I just turned 41 end of June, hit 302 lbs in March. I stopped laying in front of the tv and playing xbox and started exercising. I joined mfp in May to monitor my calories, I'm now down 50 lbs, and feeling alot better. Its possible, I have 2 kids that i can keep up with now!0
