edited September 24 in Success Stories
Today at weigh in I was 398.2. This is great because, not only does it mark a 42.8 lb loss since December 13, but I am officially under 400 lbs for the first time in, I am sure 10 years or so. Yes, I have a long road ahead of me, but with my friends here at MFP, at least I will have plenty of company!

Thanks everybody for the support!!

    Congrats on the awesome weight loss and for being under the 400 mark. I watch the Biggest Loser and it motivates me seeing the transformation, but an even bigger motivation is people who are like me doing this on their own. Thank you for the inspiration. I am anxiously awaiting the day I will be out of the 300's. I have not seen 300 since I was 17. Again congrats on a job well done! I look forward to seeing more (or should I say less) of you as you progress on this journey. Have a great week!!

    You're a spring chicken! Great job Tom. I almost hit 400 at one time. So I know where you're coming from. Heck when I started here I was 350.

    Keep going. We enjoy you on the boards.

    WOW!! That's incredible. I just started here so I was wondering how you've been losing the weight? I need to lose about 50lbs.
  • Great work and good for you! Congratulations!!

    It is MFP, period. I signed up December 12 and since then I have logged in EVERY DAY. I do my absolute best to stay under my calorie goal, and also watch my sodium intake. Then, water. I drink between 8 & 14 glasses of water every day.

    I also read all of the success stories and look at all of pics. I see people just like me conquering the same monster I am fighting, every day!

    I am reminded often that my road is not a short one, or an easy one. But I have to get after it myself. Nobody can cut my weight for me.

    Congratulations Tom your well on your way. Like Soze I started in the 300's (370) in August and have lost 101 as of last week. This coming summer is going to be a huge change from last year, just think of all the activities that will be so much easier to do.
