Hello, everyone! If you'd like to see footage of my transformation, please check out my video if you have 3 minutes to spare. I haven't figured out how to embed it into this post, so this will have to do for now. :smile:

I'm a first time poster on the myfitnesspal message boards. I started using myfitnesspal three months ago to help track my calories, macronutrient compositions, and break past a year long plateau! I've actually been hard at work losing weight for the past 2 years. Here's a photo of how I looked before and after:

If anyone is interesting in the methods I used to lose weight, I wrote a public note over facebook that everyone is free to read:

I wish you all the very best on your journey! :smile:

    You look great. You state that you had a 1 year plateau. How did you break it?

    Thanks! I started doing intermittent fasting to help break my plateau. It was difficult to do at first, but well worth it to finally be under 200 for the first time since I was in 6th grade!

    Kudos to you for every day of your determination, sacrifice and hard work. You are half the man you once were :-) You are an inspiration. I will share your link with a friend who has a lot to lose (and as you know, it is hard to see the end result when there is so much to lose).
    Have you tried switching your diet plan? For instance, if you count calories or Weight Watcher points switch to the South Beach or Atkins plan for two weeks. I've seen it work wonders for others. Best to you!

    I haven't gotten rid of the excess skin yet on my midsection yet. I still have 30 more pounds to lose, and then I'm going to figure out what my options are. ^^
