....I had myself convinced that I was eating a lot healthier than I really was, and deep down, I didn't really believe I could really get to my goal weight one day (now I'm 5 lbs away and thinking about adjusting it down a little). THANKS MFP!

I would workout at a slow to moderate pace for 30 minutes and thought I was accomplishing something, so I would go to the buffets for lunch and eat because I was working out!

Now I count calories, workout like I am insane, am 79 pounds lighter, thank go because most people don't believe that I am 50!

Seven months later & 120 lbs less, things couldn't be better. MFP

I didn't really understand the quote, "Great minds think alike."

orcoast71

I didn't know anything about Heart Rate Monitors, and eating back your calories from exercise. Heck, I didn't even know how many calories I needed to consume to lose weight.
