Welcome to the club

I was once around 255 lbs and MFP help a lot to open my eyes of my eating habits. Am sure you will meet your goal in no time. Feel free to add me.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

It's about moderation not deprivation. There are no good/bad foods, only bad eating habits. Do or do not, there is no try. You have to want it, you have to work for it, you have to realize that only you can do it.
