The good news is that, using MFP, I was able to start controlling food instead of the other way around.

I'm in charge now.

I figure if you want to win, you need to keep score-- and this is the place that makes that possible and practical for me.

I changed all of my recipes, cutting out the calories but leaving the flavor, and I've posted many of them in the forums and my MFP blog.

I eat whenever I'm hungry and I never feel cheated. I always say, "Hungry people make lousy dieters."

So I've dropped from a size 28 to a size 18 and I'm on my way back to a 10.

Will I get there?

Heck yeah!

Just watch me!

    YAY! Keep up the good work. Personally, I'll never likely be a 10 again, but I'll settle for a 12 :)

    Oh- Thanks for your post. Need inspiration cuz I start to think that it just can't be done once you are WAY big unless you can leave your joba nd work out on a ranch 12 hrs a day.

    I know-' Yard by Yard- life is hard- inch by inch- it's a cinch'.

    The tracker has given me great insight into the amt of fats in my diet- I thought I was doing ok- until I saw the numbers!

    Thx for your post.

    You look great! I love your recipes btw. But yeah ita about the hungry ppl make lousy dieters thin g. I did nutrisistem a couple years of ago and lost a lot of weight but eventually grew tired of the pre packaged food and gained back all the weight I lost plus extra! I much prefer thee way I am eating now. Cooking my own low cal food! I can see this more maintainable.
