    I wish MFP had some of the features as facebook such as liking comments and personally responding to each one. Thank you so much for the support and kind words. Thanks for taking the time to read my story! I PROMISE this is possible! you can do it. A year ago i thought id never be posting in the success forum but here i am. It wont be easy as. a matter of fact, losing weight is going to be the hardest thing youll have to do but you will be successful!

    Create a healthy eating plan- remember youre doing this to be healthy NOT skinny. I say that because many believe you have to go on a crazy diet. NO. If you cook and eat healthier, youll drop the weight fast. **Once you have your goal weight in mind, calculate and figure out how many calories youre supposed to be eating if you were at that healthy weight... for instance: my goal is to be 135lb... since ive started ive been consuming 1580 calories (for the most part ive stucked pretty close to it!!) Ive lost weight and im not starving myself... Most importantly i get to enjoy food and not some crazy diet fad food.

    Exercise- You must be active. i at least try to workout 3-5 days a week. It just depends on what i have going on... but on the days im not working out. Im still moving. I dont sit all day! So just get your body moving. Youll find how much your body loves to move!

    keep in mind, losing weight is 70% eating right and 30 % working out.

    there will be times you will goof up and have a bad day... but remember: it's just that, a bad day! Nothing more. So don't let that bad day ruin your overall progress. get up the next day and try again...


    Lastly, remind yourself on a daily basis that youre amazing and deserve to be the best you can be... not what the world tells you or what your own little negative angel is telling you. You are worth so much to this world.


    Keep going and keeping trying...

    Excellent results, progress, and advice, and attitude, and patience, and endurance, and whatever else I'm missing.

    Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing the final results topic in about, oh, 6 months share we say?

    That is amazing and inspiring! You look amazing! good luck on reaching your final goal!
    I would really appreciate some advice.

    I've been yo-yo dieiting all my life, because I've always been bigger.
    I'm becoming more and more depressed and only getting bigger.
    Im curent 220lbs, so i'm starting in a similar weight range to you.
    Im a really big boned person so i only want to get down to around 150lbs.
    Thats still 70lbs!

    Ive tried every fad diet out and none of them work for me.

    I go to the gym 5 days a week for 1 hour and sweat it out like no tomorrow.
    The real issue for me is food.
    So please, share how you did it! :D
