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.

    OK Chelle,
    Lookin really good. Nice pics, now we're ready for something more risque' - so let's see some skin, Girl. (Think wolf whistle).
    BTW, at 324, I've lost 66.6 lbs. (Scary number, eh?), and have 49 to go to my first target of 275lbs.
    My six pack is screaming to break free!
    Love yout recipes. Tried the mashed cauliflower made with C of Celery tonight, andam going to try thr low cal chips and salsa soon, and am pretty excited about trying some dry fried shirataki noodles.
