    Hi! I’m on day 2 of my journey. Currently weighing 350 and looking to lose 100 pounds in a year! I’m starting slow by counting calories and trying to increase my step count every day so it keeps going up not busy a specific number to get started and get in a healthy routine. After I have my routine down and tracking calories then I will add in more exercises. My biggest hurdle is going to be staying within my allotted calories for the day so that’s why it’s my main focus now.

    Welcome to MFP! I've had a iifetime struggle with weight loss. Have had success and then troubles maintaining after several years. This is my go to for getting back to losing. Continuing to track helps me maintain. It's when I stop tracking that I start creeping back up.
    Good luck! :star:

    Good morning! I am fat and 40, but I'd like to be 40 and fabulous before my birthday in February. I'd love more motivation and accountability buddies. I sent you a request. :)

    Good morning! I started off weighing 388.6. Down to 357.2 after a month and a half. Once you get that momentum going you're on your way. I equate it to riding a bike down hill.

    Good morning. Welcome to MFP. It works if you use this site to educate you and motivate you to keep going. Feel free to add me.
    I lost 100 pounds but put some back on after I tried maintenance on my own.
