I didnt have a computer when I hit my 1 year mark earlier this month, but I do now, so here it goes...
I didnt even mean to begin a diet the day I did, but I was browsing phone ap's and happened to come across one that I downloaded out of boredom, and have never looked back. Ive logged in every day, 390 days.
I havent watched carbs, sugar, protein..I just eat what I want but follow the calories. Ive only went over maintenance calories two times in the last 390 days; one being while on vacation. I try to eat as healthy as I can, but still enjoy living life.
As far as exercise, I didnt begin regularly until 7 months in, and even at that point it wasnt real agressive, just mild to moderate, couple/few days a week. I was in a car wreck 4 years ago, and i was in alot of pain due to my hip.. It is much better now, I am able to go jogging now! (2009 walking a block was murder).
313.5 Pounds to 212 Pounds (Highest Weight was 325; total lost: 113). And for those wondering, Im 5'10" with a larger frame.
This is my first success picture: 5months, 50 pounds
This was at Halloween, 74 pounds down (my high school weight):
This is my 26th Birthday (just before I began MFP), to my 27th Birthday.
This was on my MFP 1-year anniversary Date, March 7th, 97lbs down:
This was today, 102lbs down:
Measurement Comparison:
Bra Band/Rib Cage: Start: 52". Current: 36" (and cup size J to DDD)
Hips: Start: 65". Current: 48"
Neck: Start: 16". Current: 14"
Waist: Start: 49". Current: 40"
I have another 42Pounds to go to get to my final 170 Goal Weight :-)

My settings are (and always have been) sedentary. My calories started at 1800 when I was 313. They are now 1220. I have no problem only eating 1200 like I thought I would because I had a year to slowly adjust down.0 -
