    This is my first time posting.

    *looks at profile pic; sees "107 posts"...

    Anyways, nice job. :)

    I meant my first time starting a new post! I should have clarified.

    And thank you. To all of you! I'm so glad I am able to offer motivation. The support in this community still overwhelms me at times.

    As far as how I did it, I just stuck with the calories. And always kept in mind that one bad day doesn't throw off all my efforts so I wouldn't let it discourage me. I don't deprive myself of foods that I want or that I love, instead I find a way to fit them into my daily calories. For example, I am a big potato chip fan. So a couple nights a week, I save enough calories to have a serving in the evening. I still eat foods I love, and I definitely still eat carbs. Obviously I make better choices, but I try not to restrict what I eat, otherwise I'd never be able to stick to it. I try to exersize 4 times week, but to be honest the first 50 lbs was lost strictly on calorie counting alone. I'm starting to exersize more now that I'm at the point where I want I start slimming and toning certain areas.

    The best advice that I have is to remember that this is a whole lifestyle change. It will take time. Just try and enjoy the journey! :)

    Edit: Dang autocorrect!

    you are the first person I've seen who looks like I do...you weighed more than you looked like you did, even at your heaviest (know what I mean?) People NEVER believe me when I say I weighed 287....but your pics are very very inspiring! Nice work!
