    Congrats on your amazing progress!!! :-)

    I also started at 300+ and did not understand FOR YEARS why I wasn't losing much/any weight eating under 1,500 calories every day (and walking several miles each night). So I totally "get it" too!!! I thought I had some weird metabolic disorder.

    Cheers!!

    It really is an eye opener! Congratulations on your loss!!!

    it took me a long time to realize that 1200 Calories a day was not enough for me at 300+ lbs I was starving myself and not losing weight.

    How many calories were you eating when you were losing? That's something I'm struggling with as someone who's also heavy (around 260). Were you eating at at least your BMR level? My BMR ranges from 1600-1800 (depending on which calculator I use), but I usually eat fewer than that.

    Hey guys,
    I'm Trisha I am 21 and I weigh less now than I did in 7th grade at 5'2. I have been overweight since I was in 3rd grade and have just now learned how to take care of my body and lose weight. I have finally realized today it is not about where I am at it is about how I feel, and today I feel great. So here goes anything my first success post. Anyone looking for advice look into you RMR it is where you want to start, it took me a long time to realize that 1200 Calories a day was not enough for me at 300+ lbs I was starving myself and not losing weight. A special thanks to Jacquedr for all of your help getting me starred and keeping me going.

    Feel free to add me I love new friends especially those who post their thoughts!! Now what you all wanted!
