I haven't reached my success yet, I still have quite a bit to go, but I finally made it to ONEderland and that feels amazing! I started MFP 10/9/12 and am down 42lbs. I am amazed at my body transformation so far and can't wait to see how I progress. I never want to be where I was again and am so thankful I decided to join, because if not, I would be in the same place I was at 240lbs and still feeling miserable. I'm currently 198lb, 5'9" and going strong. I have energy to play with my kids again, 3 1/2 and 1 . The friends I've made and encouragement I've received from MFP users is so motivating!

    That's awesome! I just joined. Are you following a special diet or just tracking? What are you doing/and how much are you exercising?

    That's wonderfull!! I just made it here in the past month as well and I can't tell you how happy it's made me. Like you I still have a lot of weight left to lose but seeing a one in front makes it seem more possible!

    just counting my calories. I started off just walking 30 min during my lunch break, then i added to bike riding (recumbent). I then decided to do 30DS in Dec and am now doing RI30 for Jan. But nothing special, just diet and some exercise.

    Oh that is fantastic. Huge congrats to you. Keep up the great work and you'll be there in know time. I am hoping to be in ONEderland SOON, and I can't wait. I will probably scream and wake my kids up when i see that under 200 #. I weigh in in the morning...lol

    Great job! If I may ask, what was your daily calorie goal before exercise when you first started. I'm 5'8" and my starting weight was 240 also so pretty close. My calorie count is 1270 before exercise. I'm doing OK with that but have gone up to 1550 on weekends at times (exercise saved me though lol). And do you eat back your exercise calories? Just curious, wanna make sure I'm doing it right, haha. Thanks for sharing your success, I can't wait till I'm in your shoes!
