    You can do this. I started MFP on Jan 3rd @ 253. I am 205 today and still going strong. My wife started 2 weeks after me and has lost 31 lbs, so together we have lost nearly 80 lbs! My goal weight is 185, so I only have 20 lbs to go. I have never tried ANYTHING that has worked this well. Your food diary is the key. Just log in every day, ESPECIALLY on those days that you go over your calorie goal. Just remember, it's not how well you to day to day, but how well you do each week. Track your progress, and make it a goal to improve your average every week. Good luck!!!

    Hi Cutiger,

    my name is Chris and I just started training as well, Tuesday in fact. I'm trying to lose some weight or rather rearrange. I'd like to slim the waist and strengthen the upper body.

    My start weight was 240lbs, which I will be trying to reduce to 211 in a three month period. If you like we could compare our weekly trials and tribulations on a weekly basis.

    Might give us a bit of a competitive feel to the whole thing.

    I'm working on my weight loss by changing my diet, No more bacon and heavy fat fried foods, also counting calories.
    Joined the Golds Gym in Long Beach and will be working out 4 times a week.

    Wishing you lots of success.

    Regards

    Chris
